They did the same joke last week and the week before about Vince liking to fire people but they didn't tweet about it so no one knew.

"Hey Sid, did you know I especially enjoy firing people just before the holidays."

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Edge dropped NXT's previous week's viewership by 110,000 / .06

Will AJ do better or worse than this?

Better AJ appeals to those who pray NXT 1.0 can be back.

He thinks he has to. I don't know why. Maybe one of his dipshit investors thought back to 1999 and said to him "you were the best thing on the show when wrestling was huge, you should get back on the camera if you wanna sink AEW".

Show sounds absolutely miserable, as always, but why is AJ Styles beefing with some NXT dipshit at the same time that he's breaking up with Omos for some reason?

EDIT: Also, :lmao: at having Edge and Miz both do talk show segments on the same show. Just the most creatively bankrupt company.

At least the Edge talk show made sense in a storyline way. Miz used his wife as a shield, Edge gets her on so she can talk poo poo about Miz, turns out she was in on it and they team up and beat down Edge. It's a story thats been done a thousand times, but it is simple enough and makes sense why one would have a talk show for it.

The Miz/AJ/Omos stuff, (tease the breakup some more), could have been done in a thousand other much simpler, much more satisfying ways.

And I say this as someone who actually likes the Miz, (which is generally not a popular, or good, or defensible opinion.)

The best Raw in a long time but still not something I would recommend to a person I liked.

Lashley and E/Owens and Seth have chemistry with each other and I think this would be better as two tag teams feuding instead.

I laughed a lot at the WWE not being able to book a nice place to go in Wisconsin for the 24/7 segment (maybe due to weather?) and instead ending up at one of those lovely selfie-lure indoor light magic things that are extremely cheap looking. I really need to get into that racket.

Idk overall there was more wrestling with things more closely resembling finishes (not good ones per se) which goes a long way towards me putting up with the show.

lol the regular cheerleaders in the bad take thread were really down on the show which suggests maybe it was better or more approaching what a human could interpret as an attempt to be entertaining?

I skim the show in 15 minutes for the people who I sometimes enjoy when they don't have to do stupid poo poo, and for poo poo that is so stupid it's amusing. From that perspective, it seemed the same. The Vince poo poo probably hurt their feelings when he joked about firing people they likely previously enjoyed. The show is definitely at an all time low, but it feels like that's been the case for awhile.

Perhaps she'd function better as part of a group...some of sort... squad.

Not really sure what to make of Liv's trajectory. She outlasted her stablemates and seemed pretty over at one point (got a few big pops around the Lana storyline, particularly at the RR that year). She's got the look and seems fine in the ring.

Seems like fans have been clamoring for her to get into the title picture and now it's like "Actually this is kind of bad." I guess being involved in a 4HW storyline doesn't help her.

That Liv promo is bad because of the writing. Her delivery doesn’t help either, but nobody there live wants to sit through 5 minutes of commercials only to come back to the ring with 8 minutes of someone verbally recapping what has happened over the past two weeks.

The writers love doing these “storytime” recap promos where someone stands in the ring and slowly tells the story about what has happened. It wasn’t interesting to watch, and it’s not interesting to recap that way either.

It’s because their demos are retired old men that can’t remember what happened five minutes prior.
