I didn't watch it so someone else can verify, but it sounds like they said that police let Dexter go because Miz refused to press charges after he was kidnapped last week. And then later in the night they did a "where to, Stephanie" moment implying that Dexter just kidnapped Miz again.

There was also a gag that during Miz's match Lumis was in the stands with spotlights on him and the crowd reacting that they somehow tried to play as only Miz seeing him? It was weird.

SRS on the Fightful review for RAW mentioned that he hasn't heard either way (but is going to try and find out) about the match finish last night, but wouldn't be shocked if it was a botched finish. Him and Denise did outright say that WWE pretty much has no choice to acknowledge the tainted finish now (if it was indeed a botched finish), and to figure out where to go from there.

Like...it's not hard to believe its a botched finish because Aliyah is in fact, bad enough to make dumb mistakes like that. And also because like I mentioned earlier, now WWE has the problem of "Heels with Legitimate Grievances". Which puts a giant asterisk next to Raquel and Aliyah's reign.

Why are people blaming the ref, Aliyah is the one who literally rolled up the wrong person.

If you're starting from the objective of giving Raquel a big push and making her a star, shouldn't you find her a partner that can, like. Wrestle?

Because the referee should keep track of who the legal man is & not count a pinfall that isn't legal.

It's one of those classic stories where there is plenty of blame to go around really.

Aliyah went into business for herself, Riddle and Seth are brawling in the parking lot before the show and shooting in promos, police and security can't stop Dexter Lumis from terrorizing Miz. WWE in shambles tbh. I give it a month before a mass exodus to AEW and the company folds.

Eh, wasn’t really a big deal. All 4 women are still basically fresh out of NXT so mistakes will happen. I think Aaliyah and Raquel could have an interesting reign before dropping to Naomi and Sasha

I mean if that's the case, it really does show that WWE never learns from its mistakes. They hosed up at Summerslam with Liv and now her babyface run is basically dead in the water. No reason to believe Aliyah and Raquel won't meet the same fate.

Raquel sucks, is a CHUD and is from my hometown area. Just poo poo all around. Also her ring gear makes her look a little like Tamina.

You figured someone in her position would at least scrub her social media accounts. It's easy to find out if someone's a chud or not these days. Since she seems extremely proud of that she's a chud, it makes her extremely unlikeable.

I think 90% of the reaction to her and Aliyah winning last night was very negative.

Yes, the UK PPV is on Saturday, and no I doubt they will be a part of the PPV. It's funny as hell though that WWE hasn't acknowledged that Aliyah pinned the wrong woman. Which is why I think the finish was botched and they are trying to cover it up. But like SRS said, it's too late for that, WWE absolutely needs to acknowledge this, because despite being heels, Damage CTRL got hosed over, intentional or not.

I mean look at some of Triple H's recent hires. Karrion Kross, Scarlett, and Road Dogg. It's not hard to believe that he doesn't give a poo poo about the optics of those people getting pushed or being put back into positions of power. Raquel, Braun, Kross, Scarlett, and Dogg are all huge MAGA people, if not full on Q-Anon believers.
