I have no sympathy for Hunter but I wonder what it's like to work your whole life to be the successor of the biggest wrestling company in the world, lose to a billionaire EWR booker, then have everything immediately taken away from you. This is some real Game of Thrones poo poo, all we're missing is Stephanie divorcing him and taking the kids while Hunter tries to rebuild the NWA with fellow loser Billy Corgan.

I mean I guess it could be fun if they do a dusty finish where Edge wins the title because Reigns was a dumbass but I don't expect that.

So tonight, heels won every single match except for Sami/KO.

And heels now hold almost every single title in WWE outside of the NXT Tag Titles (held by MSK) and the SD Women's Title (Bianca Belair). It's like WWE waited for this exact moment to gently caress every babyface over. They must have been going through massive heat withdrawals.

Night 1 was pretty good and did deliver I would say. It's lows were that bad and most matches were at passable.

Night 2 was not good and was bad from start to finish.

As someone who watches WWE only once every few months, I feel like I had a goddamn seizure watching that camera work. Beyond the contempt for the audience and the constant strobe lights, the camera cuts and zooms make this poo poo genuinely unwatchable.

Main event was actually pretty fun then that amazingly stupid finish.

Orton beats Fiend via distraction from Alexa impersonating Carrie
Nia and Shayna retain tag titles over Natalya and Tamina; Tamina botches a hot tag
Kevin Owens beats Sami Zayn, then stunners Logan Paul
Sheamus wins US title over Riddle, kicks his teeth out
Apollo Crews wins IC title over Big E after interference from Dabba Kato
Rhea Ripley wins Raw women's title over Asuka
Roman Reigns retains Universal title, pinning Edge and Bryan at same time

lol we're giving Roman credit for the show moving out of a loving closet and into the Thunderdome now? Wow.

When the segments get broken down a number of people seem to tune in when he's on and tune out when he's not. This is a low praise, lol I'm not trying to tell you not to hate the guy if you're so inclined.

I can see it being some kind of misguided hook on having all these villains win, how will our heroes come back and win, but they never loving build up any dedicated faces and it's almost always 50/50 booking.

I wouldn't even say Rhea/Asuka was even remotely good. Rhea's offense looked terrible and she got gassed pretty quickly. Not saying Asuka looked like a world class athlete out there, but she looked lightyears ahead of Rhea there.

Like the Rhea/Asuka and Bianca/Sasha matches are an almost perfect case of duality when it comes to quality.
