Kofi’s such a heel he bought his mother the middle seat on a plane ride.
Loving this slow breakdown into madness. They haven’t gotten physical yet but no doubt they will and Rey’s likely gonna feel it soon.

I won't front I was negative af to the idea of "heel New Day" I've been such a mark for Woods thinking this was finally going to be his path to a US/IC title, maybe even World title run.
Now I'm so jaded I'm thinking Big E is going to return, he's going to go beat their ass and then join them taking out Cody or Punk, something wild.
Thinking New Day hospitalising Rey might be the next step here.
The final cable network episode of RAW is starting... with limited commercial interruptions!
And all I can think of is how fucking petty Spike TV was when RAW moved back to USA after their 5 year hitch with the program, when they silenced/bleeped every mention of 'USA' in the last ep on Spike LOL Didn't they have Hacksaw make an appearance and start a USA chant, or an I misremembering that?
Man, the TV landscape has changed.
One of the promos for Raw on Netflix is frammed as a vertically rotating ring motif with specifically-shot vignettes of various current WWE wrestlers either posing or in action.
Notably, Becky Lynch is either the last or second-to-last shown in-ring. I wouldn't expect they'd use her unless there's an imminent return scheduled....
Apples and oranges. The NFL wasn't exclusively on one network. It wasn't like Raw had matches on USA, TNN, ESPN, E!, and CBS. Why wasn't USA running ads for people to get caught up on Raw by tuning in to Spike? I guess I wouldn't call it petty especially when we're talking about WWE. They barely promoted their own talent being on other tv shows, movies, etc.
I do want to say this....If that is in fact the last time we see Raw on cable, Punk and Rollins promo was legendary.
Well, for the most part, unless it was something specifically WWE branded (like their films, CDs, etc.), they kept a pretty tight leash on their talent. But I remember plenty of banter about watching Rock guest-star on Voyager, Big Show on Enterprise, a bunch of them on MAD TV, various Leno/Letterman/O'Brien appearances and other places that weren't strictly uder the WWE banner.
And VKM was blasted for being petty about not mentioning ROH or Impact or most any other US promotion back in the day. The best rebuttal for that was since they were number one, there's no need to give any shine to other companies (whether they were seen as 'competition' or not). Classic 'No-Sell Vince'. Plenty of pieces, doc or shoot on WWE allude to that when getting into the post-Attitude/pre-Ruthless Aggression years. He didn't see those other promotions as anywhere near a threat as Turner, so it's like they didn't exist.... so the edict was to treat them as such.
Sorry I thought you were saying in the quoted comment you responded to I was talking about going to another promotion not several posts prior my bad.
Again I just don't think it's fucking petty for Spike to do what they did. Especially when we're talking about the WWE of all people. You just made a nice post I'm quoting here explaining why WWE of all people aren't the ones we should be doing the "oh poor baby you can't say USA on Spike". They're the most guilty at doing that kind of shit to the point they will redo parts of their intro if someone makes a mean tweet about the company lol. How many times has Ric Flair been in/out of the intro over the last 5 years? lol. They're the petty ones.
Loved that Punk/Seth promo just take my money.
Looking forward to the Netflix debut. Great card. I'm guessing they open with Rhea winning the title, but no idea where they go with the rest of the card. Logic suggests you put Roman and Punk over clean to display them as your top guys to a new audience, but there's a lot of interesting things they can do. Drew costing Roman maybe? Rock getting involved?
Guessing Logan and Gunther at the Rumble. Makes sense to build the world title match around Paul early in the Netflix era to build Gunther. I think the dynamic would be pretty fun. It would also leave everybody fun in the Rumble - Roman, the Usos, Sami, Punk, Rollins, Drew, Solo, Jacob, Cena - all of that playing out with the history there would be fun as hell.
Final Boss High Chief Dwayne has announced he's gonna be on RAW tomorrow...
For us OG Netflix people we remember the days of having all those sweet DVD releases on Netflix. That's where I first saw the Dusty Rhodes and Jake the Snake DVDs. I watched the top 10 Raw tag matches hosted by Big E. It was a cool little set up. I'm excited for tonight. It's been a long time since I watched Raw live and not on Hulu or DVR.
Big day today, holy cow. I’m sure folks there are rumbling with anxiety on whether Netflix can handle the traffic that’s about to flood their servers. Hope it works out.
historical day. Lets goooo!
That's definitely something I'm curious about. The Tyson/Paul fight was fine for a few but shitty for many. FF to the Christmas NFL games and we had zero issues but I know some people who had better service through their phone than the Smart TV. WWE probably won't have as many people trying to watch it all at once but even to this day you still get some streaming issues with their ppvs on Peacock just like with the Network.
Could do without the Rock or Hogan, but whatever. I'm tuning in to see who that teaser is for they've been running the past few weeks.
