Did WWE Raw Deliver On Netflix?

[@TomRiddler-m3j]

The Netflix premiere was more for a mainstream audience. The Rock not being The Final Boss, but Dywane and not being a heel was something made not for wrestling fans.

[@UncleHarper666]

Ohhhh I get it now

[@fromthej]

Completely agree. Babyface Rock SUCKS!

[@fromthej]

Babyface Rock sucks!

Yeah and that regressed his stories immensely.

[@presidentc4]

Undertaker's current character is just getting into everybody else's business for no explained reason

He comes there to show audience that these guys are the next big thing. And put overs them

[@sahilsheikh771]

Undertaker moment was not for fans, but for Rhea Ripley. If you're playing any dark gimmick and get approval from The Phenom himself makes your life. I'm still disappointed that Bray Wyatt got it in very last moment of his life.

[@mjarviejr]

As someone who was there, it was enjoyable and yet clunky. The Undertaker was cool and yet weird. Hogan was getting booed so loudly, someone should've hit the nWo music. I also noticed all the faces winning which was weird to me. And the fact that the crowd was spilt not only between Seth and Punk, but also Jey and Drew. It was cool and enjoyable being there, but they do need a better flow. I think they just tried so hard to fit the old guys and show everyone off ringside, that it at times lacked cohesion.

[@Chende22]

This is exactly how I felt, it was very clunky. It sucks because there was so much buildup for Seth vs Punk and Roman vs Solo, but the matches didn’t really match up to the hype.

[@hamzapper]

Short answer No Long answer it had a ton of unnecessary fan service. this episode wasn’t catered to people that have been following the product weekly. It was meant for the general public and people that were familiar with WWE. Like the Rock showing up in his normal character is for all the people unfamiliar with the final boss. Although I feel like they over did it with sharing drinks with Cody on instagram live.

[@lordlaughypants5889]

I don't know why on a streaming service they need to put the ads in the middle of the matches. I'm fine with ads but they should do it like a PLE and have the ads between segments. Overall, it was okay. Loved that opening video package and how they were showing us the ring for most of it because of the setup they had.

[@ACJ0911]

I do agree. Ads in middle of the ring is annoying and this time it's too many. Btw any buffering issue?

Felt to me like they Rock was closing off all potential stories and won’t be doing Mania. I think they are likely aiming for SummerSlam now.

One problem i had with this show is how many finishers were kicked out of. Every match had a finisher kick-out! I can tolerate it with big matches like the tribal combat and Punk vs rollins. But why have Jey kick out of the claymore? Why not just not do the claymore to begin with

[@NostalgiaKing90]

I loved it! The matches were awesome, though Jey Uso vs. Drew felt like a bathroom break match to me. Seeing Undertaker and Rhea together was the coolest moment of the night. I can't wait to see Cena get the title. I know it's early, but my prediction for the final four in the men's rumble is Roman, Mcintyre, Cena and Punk. Side Note: Any time I get to see my crush Cathy Kelley on tv, I'm a happy guy.

[@aveennaicker2494]

Love your channel man!

[@AssembleWrestling]

Thanks!!

[@Deftones445]

I think raw was pretty good as far as the matches went, it set off the premier in a big way, some of the appearances was unnecessary to show off with the celebs imo. I feel they held back in the drew and jey, and Seth and punk. I feel those just set the direction for their paths to mania, jey is probably going to be taken down at rumble, jimmy at chamber, and then Roman and drew at mania. I feel punk and Seth will build and be a main event where either one of them goes in as champion. Rock appearance felt very direct, his passing to Roman felt like he was confirming he isn’t in the plans for this mania his schedule won’t work.

[@KvR_Fishing]

Upset that Drew didn’t get the win. WWE should start booking Drew as a monster heel.

[@J.b919]

Love the presentation, it really did look clean, cut, and clear. I love the drones, side note tho…..2k25 should have that drone camera shots for intro for shows ijs lol. Love the new match up screen for each match and the way they introduced that street fight screen with those weapons, like it was a selection screen. The only problem I had was…..everybody was basically kicking out on finishers the whole show, nobody has respect on there finisher anymore (as the undertaker would say)

[@elontayor]

new stars need to be made

[@S_R_P-v7x]

Started amazingly good But as the show continued it felt slow.

[@hunte5748]

Fr, I felt like they really dragged everything out between matches

[@Sly_Ry_115]

Overall I liked the premiere. It felt more like a raw super show than a PLE. Rock was driving drunk lol. Yea the visuals were bomb. You literally could see every rhea ripley tattoo. I swear I thought Rock was gonna take that ula fala. John cena winning the rumble and facing Cody at mania does sound nice. Knew Rhea was gonna win. The walk off with taker to me interpreted Rhea being the new big dawg of the yard. A passing of the torch in a way as Taker also said that the ring was his yard and he was the big dawg, hence arm raise on ramp. That jey uso victory shocked me. Built up drew just to tear him down again. I thought Seth was winning because it made more since for the story to continue. That Kevin Owen’s interference needs to be explained. And oh that hogan promo, yea……..

[@SuperThegreatone23]

This show was absolute MID! Having the Rock squash his beef with Cody with no build up is something that would happen under Vince. If AEW booked something like this they would of been dragged under the mud.

[@vrag2004]

Cry more

[@AwesomeNuke]

Generous, calling this mid lol

[@jaybee4288]

@SuperThegreatone23 Nonsense, having rock squash his beef with no build up is something that happens under HHH. Vince ALWAYS went for the big memorable story moments. People forget bloodline and Cody’s story and everything that was good about last year happened under Vince.

[@PeteBaldwin]

It felt like a big house show rather than a proper episode of Raw. Was fun but I'm looking forward to a more normal episode next week.

[@michaellc8656]

I thought the show was actually really good. The crowd could have been better though. Seth and punk deserved to main event for sure 💯

[@emiliopatronvzm]

Plus punk has to officially turn heel because Jey needs him to finally pop off as the World Champion. It's overdue

I would've changed the match order personally but the show was really good. Felt less like the overly hyped up mini WrestleMania and more like a super Raw, which it was

[@whatsupclouds]

The baby face clean sweep made sense in that it’s that traditional feel good format. I think they laid good groundwork for all that lost to go full throttle heel. I would love to see Drew, Seth, a returning Charlotte, and Kevin Owens go on the heel turn of their careers leading up to Mania.

​@@JuneGirl35 Yeah WWE never ever hinted anything about rock being master behind new bloodline or going after roman. Only thing which rock ever mentioned was he is coming after Cody title in future. It's internet fans being speculating stuff before WWE gives them a hint

​@@furiousduckso turning Rock against Roman will be illogical move lol considering Roman still believes rock isn't behind new bloodline. It should be come as shocker and betrayal for roman instead of just pleasing fans.

Yea I feel like they tried to make feel like more of a raw special than an PLE. Next week should be more chill. Another thing I want to touch on is the progression of the bloodline story. Even if the Rock doesn't make it to WrestleMania They've given us another route things could go by slightly foreshadowing the Betrayal of the enforcer. Throughout the match Solo was telling Roman how much he "loved him" (sound familiar?). This is probably Solo's justification of why he did what he did. Roman's failure betrayed all of Solo's hard work, let him down and let the family down. I think the same thing may happen with Jacob/Solo down the line.

They definitely deliver it almost like a mini summerslam level of calibre personally. but was expecting alot of plot twist but didnt get any at all. Also from post show conference it does seems like punk isnt that much focus on getting a main event in wrestlemania anymore. It feels to me like. he "traded" the chance to main event this netflix RAW debut, because usually when there is dwayne present, bloodline matches will always be the main event like bad blood. Not to what to feel about rock attitude toward cody and roman as well. I felt like today final boss is like a ultra babyface sales and marketing personnel lol.

[@ThePc-DjHub]

The rocks face promo kind of took all my excitement If I'm honest, I was expecting final boss not to be left confused and unimpressed. The roman match was a bit boring for a good 15 mins before all the run ins, had to roll a doobie so the womans title match was perfect for a smoke break but the drew match was decentish I dont think anyone expects a wrestling clinic when it comes to Jay uso. Cm punk and seth was really good tbf for their age and miles on the bump clock they done themselfs proud. I'd give the show a solid 8/10. Production was amazing.

[@CarboneCat]

I expected both Roman and Rhea winning the Ula fala and the title respectively back. However I didn’t expected Jey to win his match at all. In fact, all the faces won their match which was somehow odd. With that said, I’ll be curious about where we go from there for everyone involved. I would like to see Dom going on Smackdown on his own.

[@Blue_blur1994]

In my opinion it was a great show for a casual fan, was like a reintroduction of WWE to mainstream audiences, as someone who has been a lifelong fan the matches were great for the most part but I feel it could have benefited from a fifth match at least.

Overall, it was solid. Hogan shilling beer and getting boos was amusing. As soon as I saw the T-shirt I was like "Oh he is just here to sell something." Roman vs. Solo was a typical bloodline match with obvious interferences and an obvious outcome. I liked the references Pat made to Solo sounding like Jacob, which could lead somewhere. Drew vs. Jey was interesting, I liked the sneaky pin ending. Rhea vs. Liv was ok. The outcome was what I expected. The match of the night for me was Punk vs. Rollins. It really told a story and had good back and forth action.

[@Marvelmovies-g8v]

And I love your channel ❤️ 🎉

[@sebulbathx]

I liked the show in terms of a showcase. I think it was clear it wasn't really a show made to create storylines but more to showcase wrestling and their stars and make non-fans interested in the matches. It seems fans or people who have followed wrestling at any point was disappointed. Tbh I got PPV kinda feelings with this show like it felt fast paced and they tried to make an effort in making good matches. But RAW cannot have a runtime of three hours like it's too much for a tv-show. And I think only PPVs should have that long runtime because it feels more exclusive that way.

[@laurab1673]

i ALSO thought rhea vs. liv was supposed to be last woman standing…wondering when and why it changed

[@qymcmbn]

I’m not an avid WWE watcher, so maybe my perception is off a lot. But I keep up with the product via various podcasts. I was excited to see how the overall product would look after Triple H’s most recent interview. Here’s my thoughts. Rock no longer being a heel was odd to say the least. Him being there made no sense at all.. both his promo & his pop up after the Roman match was unnecessary. Roman v Solo was okay. Nothing special… It seems that a normal Roman 1v1 match is a bunch of interferences & I’d have to ask a casual fan does that excite you still knowing it’s a match with little side matches going on with the same characters? Anyway, Rhea v Liv was okay. If Rhea’s finisher is the RipTide then there’s no way that lil girl Liv should’ve kicked out of it after she delivered it a first time… Overall though the Match was solid. The Dominick angle at the end was meh. And even though I love Taker, I felt it was unnecessary and forced to put him in this moment. Ngl I skipped Jey vs McIntyre but I came towards the end and it looked WEAK. So I would say completely skippable there Hogan showing up was hilarious. I think next time the WWE fans will cheer him Will be when it’s time to honor him after his death (unfortunately, depending on your opinion on him) Punk v Seth was mid imo. There’s no reason Seth should HIT punk with 5 FINISHERS & He kicks out pretty much EACH TIME. And the ending seemed very sloppy. Overall I was disappointed as a returning fan with a bit of knowledge on the product *EDIT* The entire beginning BEFORE The Rock was a great way to open the show.
