The Rhea Ripley Return We All Knew Was Inevitable. She Obviously Pissed At Dominik and Liv Wanted No Part Of Her
Review(s):
Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👍
Vlad TheWrestlingExpert - 👍
Robert TheFrozenAsian - 👍
Note:
Well Vlad called it on the podcast last week. He felt the angle was getting repetitive and needed Rhea to give it a jolt.
Comments:
Kayhan - “At least Rhea’s back. Didn’t get to see much. Classic wrestling tease.“

Review(s):
Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊
Vlad TheWrestlingExpert - 👍
Robert TheFrozenAsian - 👍
Comments:
-Kayhan - “The only thing I like about this is Breakker’s performance. Love the way he speaks and the way he works. But this angle has been a tough one for me. I don’t see how any of this is supposed to make him look like a bad ass.”
-Vlad - “Great segment but why didn't they do the DQ finish at the PLE? I'm still mad at Bron losing clean like that.”

Review(s):
Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👎👎
Vlad TheWrestlingExpert - 👊
Robert TheFrozenAsian - 👎👎
Comments:
“Strowman running around charging at people looks so stupid. Today R-Truth charged at Judgement Day with him arm in arm. 🙄 I’m over this angle. I wish there was a better way to use Strowman.”

Vlad TheWrestlingExpert - 👊
Robert TheFrozenAsian - 👊
Kayhan - “I used to like Damage CTRL but this iteration without Bailey has suffered. Nothing much in this angle today. Seemed like they just went through the motions to fill TV time.”

11) Zoey, Shayna & Sonya Form Alliance
Review(s):
Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊
Vlad TheWrestlingExpert - 👊
Robert TheFrozenAsian - 👎👎
Comments:
“Ugh. I don’t know about this one. It seems like they just need a six man fued involving Damage CTRL to kill time. I understand needing things on the show for a bathroom break, but they also need to realize that while some people are in the bathroom, there are people actually trying to watch this!”

Kayhan - “I’m very glad that the wwe product has improved overall in recent times, but a 3hour raw is still a chore to watch. Can never stop understating that. I will keep saying it until the change it back. You make enough money, WWE. Stop wasting people’s lives! #makeraw2hours”
