Why’d they have Theory beat Cena if they’re not going to elevate him? He’s faced Lashley a bunch of times already

[@randycrawford1132]

Just wait for it to play out and stop shooting off

[@brucemichaelgrossman4913]

@@randycrawford1132 I’ll wait for you to love me.

[@fabian4023]

I guess the next best thing Theory could do to grow as a talent is study tape and pick the brains of the veterans, if he hasn't already.

[@_RogueRage]

I still wish the story for Cena vs Theory was Theory is the person who knows Cena better than anyone he ever has faced. He knows all the moves and tactics since he watched him since he was 8. Cena said Theory wasn’t ready no Cena isn’t ready for Theory. That being said Theory has said he has watched old tapes and really observed teh top top talent from wrestling over the years. His moveset is mostly inspired by Orton and Roddy Piper from the looks of it with a modern twist. But if one his future gimmicks is a tape watching cerebral heel im here for it because he can make that work.

I'm much like you, Jim. By the time the third hour of Raw rolls around I'm already starting to fall asleep. I'm like, "can't WWE just cut Raw back to 2 hours?" Ugh!!

[@sniffer6285]

Raw is about 15 minutes , just have to watch it in Fast Forward !

[@TheJJWA]

You’re doing it wrong lol just record it and watch: 1. the opening segment 2. the top of the first hour 3. the main event. And out! 😂😂 if you missed anything they will give a replay package before the main event

[@somgandachonco7278]

To me, Theory has always reminded me more of Orton so I'm glad Jim brought that up. Those matches will be great

[@Exiled_Rouge]

This is the only channel campaigning for Theory and Lashley. LMAO

[@richardwolcott5567]

How many times is Austi6 Theory not going to win a match?

[@freehat6180]

It's absolutely obvious they are piping in sound. You can literally hear it click on during an entrance. Then look at the fans at ringside, yawning and just sitting thete staring into space like they're waiting for the bus to arrive. They really pipe in the cheers when Stardust comes out.

[@silentotaku8]

Lmao this helix ad 😂

[@silenttoxic707]

If Theiory was anywhere in the wrestling scene at his age now back then. He would of been jobbed out and kicked to the curb because back then the whole "this is my spot, you're not taking my spot" thought process was rampant and everywhere

[@SasukesSharingan.]

I'm so glad jim likes Bronsons theme as much as I do ! 😂 he got one of the best entrance themes today

[@Fuzzie_Dunlop968]

Kevin Patrick's commentary sounds like that teenage kid from the Simpsons whose voice is breaking.

[@1971thedoctor]

We already seen Theory vs Lashley most of last year with Seth Rollins mixed in fighting for the US Championship, so the only thing different in this is Bronson Reed

[@louio]

Cena was right, Austin Theory is just floundering.....

[@TheTalk23]

Not for lack trying. Triple h is making Logan Paul look better than Austin theory.

[@Ted_Bell]

How many non finish Theory Lashley matches are they going to have?

[@mikesanders2500]

Im gonna be honest and say Jim might be wrong with Theory. Yeah the booking has been terrible but I don't think people care for him. He's not over with the fans simply because the fans don't care about anything he does. Even during his feud with John the crowd didn't care about him.

[@_RogueRage]

He is over I promise you he actually responds and banters with the crowd and they do so back. Theory consistently has gotten this is awesome chants during his matches but the people who do like Theory are just more vocal onlien

[@brysoncherry9884]

​@@_RogueRage there are 99%of people with said online that couldn't care less to tune in to see this soft-spoken e-model. Also the rest of the 99% of the human pop. That he's not a draw to.

[@matthewhostetter8974]

This was a great match, but you knew Bronson was going to get involved. Honestly, I'm okay. Reed has looked great lately. I honestly want Reed to win the US Title.

[@EliC09]

Would Theory dropping the US title and then competing for the new heavyweight title make sense?

[@tmoss89]

Damn Jim that’s fast

[@Sky_Blaze]

This is about last week's raw not last night

[@tmoss89]

@@Sky_Blaze the fact they are so close is not good it’s like the same stupid story line

Go to New Japan like Reed did meaning Theory and the smaller promotions

Theory needs a new finish. New music won't hurt either.

This was a great Match

[@christian6455]

Austin really got a great look so I don’t mind his push unlike these others marks

[@brysoncherry9884]

Looks like a generic e-model. Oh wait.😂

[@Slowjohnson]

Honestly Bobby should just go to AEW, he’s not going to get anymore over in WWE especially if the Hurt Business gimmick isn’t going to return

[@FishJesus420]

I hope this is a joke

[@theboykent]

​@@FishJesus420 i guess it is coz i heard Bobby Chants in the last 4/5 Raws i watched.

[@aggagg1518]

Ah yes cause lashley cant wait to have a feud with orange casidy and takeashita

[@FishJesus420]

@@theboykent he’s over af in wwe already plus he’d be a big fish and a small pond over there. There’s a reason he left impact. Anything that’s not the wwe is honestly beneath him

[@wilcee238]

I think WWE shows so many repeat matches because they know they can get away with it since most of their audience is getting dementia as they age

[@chico1680]

Is it me or does Travis depiction of Theory look a lot like his Orton?

It's the bored sneer

When ppl comment "first" all I can see is their mother giving them milk, cookies and a gold star for their tremendous efforts and contributions to society.

[@TuMalditaMadre]

John Fell is a married man so it'll have to be a female because he's not bi coastal like that. What an inside joke there!
