Roman Reigns
Roman spent like, 7 minutes getting to the ring to then go – come see me on SmackDown to find out what’s next. I mean I love a good Roman entrance too but damn.
This felt like a real-life version of one of those TK tweets where he tells me I have to watch Rampage to hear something but then on Rampage they just tell me to watch Dynamite for the actual announcement, this was just an announcement of an announcement.
Also, wait so Cody has no possibility at a title shot for the unified title unless he gets drafted across brands or I guess Survivor Series… in November?
Hey you guys – that’s a wrap.
7 days.
30 hours of wrestling shows watched.
1 trip in a time machine back to 1998 (that I basically refuse to return from so sorry family ?)

Street Profits vs. Alpha Academy
I say it all the time but Alpha Academy, Street Profits (+ RK Bro) can run in any iteration just about any week and I’m still into it, it simply doesn’t matter how many times we see it, it’s always good.
Big spots all around, the match ends with a big frog splash from Montez Ford on Gable who sells it for so long that he goes into the commercial break still passed out in the middle of broken pieces of table.
No Gable Steveson.
This Raw after WrestleMania has been slim on surprises which I realize is a trivial complaint but with how little time is left + knowing we have to fit a Roman promo (i.e. super long entrance too probably?) a little disappointed there won’t be any women returning to the Raw roster?
Guess I’ll have to wait for SmackDown!

RK-Bro and Finn Balor vs. Usos and Austin Theory
Before WrestleMania, I hadn’t really heard the crowds go loco bananas for anything other than a Randy Orton hot tag for… weeks. Orton and Riddle seemed to be everyone’s favorite part of Raw and while tonight was no different, there wasn’t the typical story to this match as RK-Bro didn’t take the pin but still lost without a lot of offense.
Austin Theory gets the pinfall victory over Finn Balor after hitting an ATL, takes selfies with Finn’s downed body… again. And another with Jimmy and Jey which is kind of a nice touch to finish the segment.
A win for @WWEUsos & @austintheory1 and a post-match selfie! Could Theory become a champion in 2022?#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/ivE8ktwNvk

Queen Zelina & Carmella vs. Natalya & Shayna Baszler
This match didn’t actually happen as before it got kicked off, Zelina hopped on the mic to tell Carmella it was her fault they lost the tag titles because she’s too preoccupied with her man… but he is fine though (lol, false) but this enrages Carmella and those two brawl instead of teaming up.
Then Carmella and Corey aggressively made out.
I’m sure somewhere there are people who want to see this and I love this for them.
