Start time 2:12

[@christophersmith210]

JD McDonagh has 2 broken ribs and a punctured lung, he will be out for several months. Speedy recovery, he earned a new level of respect.

[@jonathonholifield3166]

What happened to him?

[@christophersmith210]

@jonathonholifield3166 he broke 2 ribs and punctured his lung on the moonsault to the table

[@Bfhfd-o4q]

@@christophersmith210 it looked more like his shoulders, head and neck that took the impact, not the body.

[@holdmyweight3597]

You just made that up

[@MrWest-ph5yg]

​@@holdmyweight3597 he absolutely did not. Broken ribs and a punctured lung

[@thefckumean2209]

Am I the only that actually thoroughly enjoyed this episode of raw? It felt like a go home show to me. I don’t really understand why people are expecting something huge like a turn or title change when everything that’s gonna happen is gonna happen Saturday.

[@efrenmjr]

This

[@salsita7417]

Nah fr I thought the show was enjoyable from top to bottom.

[@kevinlee9929]

HHH has to do a better job with the booking of the World Title. Its the 2nd year in a row that its not booked on the Royal Rumble. Which many consider the 2nd biggest show of the year.

[@ThePenandtheSword84]

Also, everyone who has declared for the Royal Rumble has aspirations to pursue the WWE Undisputed Championship and not the World Heavyweight Championship.

[@kevinlee9929]

@ThePenandtheSword84 AGREED. Just like when everyone was entering the RR Match when GUNTHER had no opponent for SNME or the RR. Before Jey no one thought to challenge the WORLD CHAMP to a match? SMH

[@bigwill6089]

It's because Gunther is a mediocre champion!

[@garychilpa5012]

The Royal Rumble should be two nights to make room for more matches

[@kevinlee9929]

@@bigwill6089 People said the same thing about Roman Reigns till he got booked better.

[@yukikimura8204]

If they decide to put the title on Logan Paul, the MITB is perfect for him. People already hate hate him now and then the massive heel heat he would get from the crowd when he goes out there to cash in on a defenseless babyface world champion to win the title.

[@PhantomOverlordX2]

I swear Drew's booking is so backwards lmao. So it's fine if he beats Sami right, and continues on this path. But he couldn't beat Seth the week before? If anything, it shows last week, Drew should've gone over on Seth, cause then you could've played into Seth getting more and more frustrated.

[@AlexFromPhoenix]

Well he did lose by a sneaky pin, it wasn’t an emphatic 3-count.

[@SunriseRss]

I say triple H should redo Armageddon 2000 hell in cell at Mania ... Cody, punk, Reigns, Rolling, McIntyre, Owens, Zayn for the title just go bat s*** crazy!!

[@drewhaueter4502]

Jey Uso is an entrance and a catch phase.......prove me wrong

[@SinfulSeraph]

Amen!

[@mr.green2341]

Just make sure to stay away from Rikishi now, especially if he’s behind the wheel. 😏 (Surprised Rikishi didn’t piss and moan after Gunther made Jey practically cry a couple weeks ago)

[@f1s7PumP]

You're a hater... prove me wrong

[@goldeneyegod]

True facts

[@Luke21-xk7uh]

I guess I'm a Kayfabe crusader because I don't like having my immersion and suspension of disbelief broken when the commentators are constantly saying "This is all totally fake by the way."

[@darrelleanderson9632]

Cody WWE title vs CM Punk Gunther WHC vs Roman

[@PhantomOverlordX2]

I feel like thats the key issue with Triple H's long term booking approach. It makes some weeks look like a complete bore feast. As if either we all know where this is going, or they're purposely waiting for something,so the shits gotta be slow on purpose. Which can backfire on em. We've had Newday be shunned for weeks on end for what? Big E possible comeback at Rumble??? It'll be great sure, but the slow progression derails it so much, like it's no wonder people got so fed up of Rhea vs Liv, and Priest vs Finn lol.

[@cctitansfan]

Jeremy Rose won me over saying he is tired of seeing these idiot rappers on tv.

[@xHARDCORE5150x]

God I don't know who half of these "celebs" are and frankly don't care, sure show a camera shot of some guys but a full entrance and interviews of rappers etc feels too much like the celeb guest host of raw era (which I hated)

[@salsita7417]

Sounds like a you problem

[@xHARDCORE5150x]

@salsita7417 and 16 others who liked the comment so far

[@MoeJaxon]

Great show

[@SirCutEmUp]

I hate when people say they are back and don’t actually be on the show lol The rock do it Roman been doin it John Cena clearly been doing it .. Logan Paul might as well fall in that same category I’d rather them not even falsify that information… imagine being in the crowd for the John cena tour and his name not on the marquee till ppv’s 12 appearances is insane lmao

[@simenzelwedlamini]

not a big deal move on !

[@f1s7PumP]

They announced logan was having his first match then poof nvm 😅

[@f1s7PumP]

So true btw Cena announced retirement last year and we barely seen him

[@salsita7417]

Are you the one that was upset Cena wasn’t there when you went to RAW?

[@eweb187]

I had a thought this morning and I hate that it makes sense and has a chance of being the plan....Roman is winning the Rumble, challenging Cody....and Punk is cashing in his favor with Heyman to turn it into a triple threat. It's just such a shitty way to book it and can't you all just see it happening? As always, I look at things from the way I could see HHH and Team writing it, not the way I would. If it was me, Punk would win the Rumble, at some point he Eliminates Drew, and then he wins a title at Mania. He has a couple small feuds then him and Drew get the last chapter of their story in the Summerslam build with Drew holding the title

[@crystalwater505]

Heyman was probably snorting in between lines because he keeps putting on weight.

[@maggielusk6833]

I agree Solo about LP. Theres too many talented full time wrestlers deserve their chance before LP.

[@yukikimura8204]

I think Roman vs Drew is almost locked in for Wrestlemania with the way they keep having Drew take shots at Roman. Unless they are gonna wait to do that match later on in the year.

[@scotty_89]

1:37:57 I think we may get Zaria (Delta) in the women’s Royal Rumble.

[@bobcatlewis87]

Braun was the first to move

[@mr.green2341]

Couth oozer, Logan Paul. That just sounds wrong. 😂

[@prowrestlingfan6305]

B Level rappers? Most of these Southern rappers are D Level

[@Hulkling93]

I wouldn't consider Killer Mike as D Level.

[@holdmyweight3597]

I think he meant more as in popularity. They are mainstream and known among the hip hop community

[@prowrestlingfan6305]

@ No. Killer Mike is NOT D Level. I said MOST. Not all Southern rappers.

[@Hulkling93]

@@prowrestlingfan6305 Mid 2000s was full of a lot of southern rapper one and dones.

KZbin needs a 3x speed. Too many hours of streams in a week.

[@maggielusk6833]

I agree JD shouldve been pulled from the match.

[@ArcaneParadise]

I don’t see Roman winning the rumble, that would be three straight years of Cody vs Roman, I see Drew eliminating Roman.

[@mr.green2341]

Stephen P. New will be in the Royal Rumble before Yo Yo Ma is. 😏

[@silvergimmick4429]

I feel bad for Dakota. When does she start to think about retirement? As far as JD goes, why do that move so close to the desk?! Always by the entrance.

[@jonathonholifield3166]

What did JD do

[@silvergimmick4429]

@jonathonholifield3166 backflip from the second rope, outside the ring, near the desk. Madness.

[@dj_n]

Hey Solo, what is the name of the song you had on loop during the super chats? It's the one before you switched to sandman. Great jam 👍

[@TheSolomonster]

"Hardline" by Sandman

[@dj_n]

@TheSolomonster Thank you. Keep up with the awesome work 👏

[@datbul]

I liked the talking points Punk and Cody made but something seemed a little off about the delivery 🤔

[@TheInferno0099]

Cody is weird at promos I don't know exactly what it is but something usually feels off

[@samizayn6412]

@@TheInferno0099 Agreed. There’s just something about them that feels off, but I can’t quite put my finger on it either. And in most of his promos, I'm just waiting for the punchline, and then when it’s over, I'm like, “That’s it?” Like, he’s great at telling a story, but somehow it doesn’t always land the way I expect.

[@3rdFloor]

Jacob Fatu is about to kick 8 guys out of that ring and then eliminate himself lol. He’s about to go crazy

[@Partofreality]

I watch Netflix on my Xbox s and in nj and don’t get ads 👀

[@Keez808]

lol

[@datbul]

Seemed like Seth and Gunther got little reaction from the crowd. The crowd came alive when Logan Paul came out, though. I feel like Seth's flamboyant character has run its course and needs to come to an end soon. As for Gunther, well, he was perfect as an IC champ but I don't think he's world champ material. Pretty underwhelming title reign.

[@danhursty6684]

Yes and speaking of Gunther I find it funny cm punk specified he's not interested in him at all by telling Cody he has his sights on taking Cody's Title

[@kevinlee9929]

Seth's flamboyant character was trash from the start. And GUNTHER is booked like a midcard Champion. That isn't on him. That's on HHH.

[@TheInferno0099]

​@kevinlee9929 there's just nothing really special about gunther he's alright in the ring and he has little charisma he should stay an an upper mid carder

[@nelkam5543]

Gunther has the skill to be a solid world champion. It's just that his feuds are lacking, and he hasn't been given the best talent or material to work with as of late. His run as NXT UK champion was fucking great with incredible matches and solid stories. I just don't know why HHH hasn't really done that yet with the WHC.

[@Hulkling93]

​@@TheInferno0099Gunther "alright" in the ring?.... Alright. His reign has been "alright" at best but it's like @kevinlee9929 mentioned, that's on HHH for booking it like many WHC reigns near the end, not much importance.

[@muzman486]

The last two big moves in the transfer window will be the solomonster moving to off the script and JD will be moving to the sound off.

[@OddsBodkins-bp8qq]

Speedy recovery for JD , damn man!

[@misterranksz3950]

I show speed and Kai cenat are very much beloved by the crowd and they're not jackasses like everyone else is an influencer

[@Bfhfd-o4q]

No matter how awful Raw is you can always rely on Solomonster to claim it was a good show

[@TheSolomonster]

I found the AEW bot

[@thesegafan4472]

I'm no aew bit and I think both aew and wwe suckbright now. All these people who have been on top for 10 years now stilling the exact same spots and there all in there 40s. While bron brekker does nothing on the show because triple resents him it's sickening . You need to call him out on his booking more which is getting lazier as time goes on.

[@TheSolomonster]

@ I call him out more than most, even as recently as the SD stream on Friday on the Vinci burial

[@LinuxCity79]

JD is gonna be out for a couple of months he has a punchered lung and broken ribs from that impact last night. so pulling him from the match should of happened last night.

Not the biggest WWE fan, but casually watching now that it’s on Netflix. What was up with a super awkward exchange between Cody and Punk at the end? Super cringe, and the crowd was dead quiet. Where’s all the excitement?

[@TheCtp96]

I would have the last 2 in the men's rumble be punk and reigns punk is at deaths door but just before he can be eliminated the rocks music hits he comes out at 31 he and Roman have a little talk and it looks like there teaming up but just as Roman moves forward the rock grabs him and throws him over top and then he climbs over the top and eliminates himself punk wins. It sets up rock Vs reigns and you get punk Vs Cody

[@holdmyweight3597]

What I learned from this stream is that Malakai Black is in a relationship with Zelina Vega. No disrespect to him but I simply don’t see how he was able to pull her. They seem like complete opposites.

[@littleanonymous2167]

42:58 Regarding this I wrote to you, on the subject of "time to breathe" WWE starts with a certain thing and drags it out for a long time until it sometimes seems that they have no idea how to finish what they started, regarding the Bloodline every week they would finish with their fingers raised and someone else lying on a broken table, and Gable and Otis They pulled the rivalry between them until we got the match it wasn't hot anymore. "Time to breathe" costs us viewers a low level of creativity/ it is an unnecessary waste of time.

[@TheSolomonster]

I agree with this

I can't believe that it has now been 2 years since we've last seen Alexa Bliss on WWE TV. RR 2023 also saw the last ever televised Bray Wyatt match. We have waited so long for Alexa to return and will wait as long as it takes for HER story to continue. Nobody understands how I feel being so invested in Alexa Bliss and Bray Wyatt and we were finally at that point of them reuniting and then since Royal Rumble 2023 we've had Bray pass away and my other favorite in Alexa has been off TV now for two years. We need Alexa Bliss back in a big way that she deserves. I hope the dirt sheets don't spoil it.

I feel like with triple hs booking. They should just scrap the weekly shows and go to a monthly show with a few ppv a year. It’ll be more must see and more entertaining. Or at least have it every fortnight. The weekly format is the biggest issue
