[@khaliqspruill8284]

This lost did build Liv. It’s consistent booking. She got squashed last time they matched up and now she took Asuka 15 minutes. It keeps Asuka strong and shows Liv is improving

[@Titan-ks1xd]

Khaliq s your right

[@zantiquechm3960]

Exactly.

[@SpeedDemonPowerage98]

Khaliq s and guess what Asuka did after the match she actually gave Liv heavy praise meaning Liv is the first opponent of Asuka’s she’s ever praised that in itself is huge for Liv cuz she just got praised by the former undefeated NXT Women’s Champion what is Asuka.

[@acefreak9561]

Asuka is a monster the fact liv managed to stand up to her for that long talks leagues of her

[@ThePriceIsRice98]

I completely agree felt the same after I watched the match

Simon you should do a DQ tally for how many times they resort to the DQ card

[@charleschamberlain5383]

Yes Simon should

[@spartanq7781]

No one can count that high.

RAW after Mania this year felt like 3 hours of Sunday Night Heat.Random Matches,Flashbacks and a Return.The Main Event was like a Dark Match after Mania.But happy Drew again looked strong beating Big Show.

[@Kylemcfc2003]

Raghavan N the main event was LITERALLY a dark match after mania

What does Apollo have to do to get some recognition? He put on a damn clinic last night.

[@o.w.omarquito2047]

Mitchell Holcomb How about show some personality. There’s your answer. Pass it on to Cedric and Ricochet

[@shreder75]

He's enhancement talent at this point. He's an incredible wrestler, but he's got no gimmick or character, which is my guess as to why he's always jobbing.

[@mitchellholcomb1561]

@Bobby Wayne I watch for the wrestling. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I don't give a shit about scripted feuds and tough guy promos. That shit is rarely better than laughable. Fast forward through that. What's the point when the blowoff is just two talentless meatheads slapping each other's chests for 6 minutes? Waste of time.

[@ATL13n]

Agree Mitch...I would hate to say that he should leave, but unless Paul Heyman can get him over before Vince realizes who he is, he is going to be on the back burner like Cedric, Ricochet, Chad Gable, Cesaro, Shelton Benjamin, Shinske, etc...

[@stryderlao]

Toro NaidTo mex that why those wrestlers need larger then life managers. Take Sami helping out Shinsuke for his promos last year. I always felt like guys like Shelton Benjamin should have had Paul Heyman as his manager to help with his promos.

[@desolationking7911]

Liv went from being a Jobber to holding her own against Asuka. I'd say she's still heading in the right direction, losing in a good match doesn't necessarily kill your momentum.

[@seymourclarity8702]

Agreed. It feels like Liv is really pushing herself hard right now. Her sells are great, and her underdog appeal is money. Watch WWE ruin it, but hopefully not. Go Liv!!!

[@desolationking7911]

@@seymourclarity8702 no doubt they will but that's what makes it so sad. They built her up, brought her in as the 4th wheel on a love triangle, and she actually made it work for her. So watch them kill her off her momentum because she didn't get over the way they wanted.

[@lycanzdukpa282]

Khaliq s i absolutely agree especially the FFH match hopefully they have more matches like that

[@liam3807]

It kinda felt like mania but then without the fancy arena theatrics celebrities and crowd more like some random network special or Saudi show

[@bigaubrey41]

there's only three things worth watching at Wrestlemania what's the triple threat ladder match in the Boneyard match in the Firefly funhouse the rest was mediocre at best

[@bigaubrey41]

@THE DESTROYER no there was shity they should have kept the belt on Goldberg Braun didn't deserve a title shot he was losing to Sami Zayn

[@Zarreth]

The only thing i'm looking forward to at this point more than Cornette having a coronary at the two Movie Matches, is him having a stroke at the McIntyre Big Show match being on Raw after the "spotfest" that was the Lesnar and Goldberg/Braun matches.

[@WhiskeyBrewer]

I would love to see Drew vs Lashley again. They had great matches in Impact and I'd just live to see Lashley acting like Walking Armageddon again

[@zackerynewell2282]

People hate on impact but honestly, they have had better storylines than WWE most of the time.

[@GreyLeo]

@@zackerynewell2282 that is true

[@GreyLeo]

I doubt it's going to happen like that. WWE views Lashley as a joke even tho his MMA record is better then Brock Lesnar's.

[@bradbogard4603]

I loved Lashley in Impact. He had his MMA crew with him. Would love to see MVP manage him and bring in Apollo Crews with them.

[@shanepleasants6280]

Brad Bogard yes add Cedric Alexander And Ricohett form a new nation of domination have them be heel could benefit Alexander and Ricochet for sure play the athletic but still weasel heels have Lashley be a dominant force and Crews be a top tier mid carder

[@bhasinanant]

I'm really hoping it was a segment for The Big Show Show, and Show goes and tells his kids that he just wrestled for the WWE Championship.

Here's a more plausible theory: Big Show's Netflix show premiered the same night and he was just there to promote it.

[@mortongaming3696]

Rub?

[@jahsiahbowie1120]

Why couldn’t they have used Takers old theme. Like “dead man walking” or “keep rollin rollin rollin rollin”

[@ProgrammedForDamage]

Perhaps they can no longer get the rights to it.

[@shanepleasants6280]

Because that Metalica song fit perfect for that match

[@mattlines5647]

Waiting for it... Stuff just happens

[@jbatsnake9441]

Matt Lines I was waiting too

[@Kyphael]

The reason WWE made it appear it took place right after Mania was because the story was Drew had just fought Brock 20 minutes prior. The viewer immediately believes Drew could potentially lose. If it takes place on RAW, Drew is rested and the viewer is less likely to believe he might lose clean to the Big Show.

[@abdulhakiemktaf5628]

This Episode should be called Monday Night jobber

[@matthewadams6800]

When WWE returns to live crowds after this “situation” has passed, we should all organize to have at least one person in the crowd at each event holding up a sign saying “Simon Give This An Up!”

[@Kabra2012]

Open question - what do people think about introducing Time Limit Draws as a way of reducing the number DQ/Screwjob/Squash finishes?

[@abhinavbapat9671]

They make sense but knowing WWE, they'll do that finish also so much, that they'll run that into ground as well

[@sebastianvella8992]

It is a good idea first because it will mean having a 30 minute long match and secondly because it would give more credibilty to wrestling which it desperately needs especially after the nonsense firefly match

[@peteg860]

@@sebastianvella8992 Yes that firefly match was like the stupidest thing I've seen in WWE in a long time, can't believe Cena went through with that.

[@sebastianvella8992]

@@peteg860 Thank you sir always happy to read comments from normal sane people and real wrestling fans. That nonsense should never be seen on a wrestling show and the only way for it not to happen is to make sure the WWE reads these comments and I can assure you they do have people reading these comments.

Even if they do introduce that, we all know WWE is gonna reuse it over and over just like all the other finishes.

You're right, Big Show is a very nice guy. Right up there with Brock, HHH, and Ric Flair (in my experience). It's pretty cool that Drew wasn't made a part of the long list of champions who lost their first title defense.

[@andrewshandle]

Rick and Cedric feel like a reaction to AEW tag teams. They're two very athletic, acrobatic wrestlers who can go at 1000 miles an hours, the only problem is they're the only team who can really do that on RAW, so I'm not sure it'll work. I guess Ford on the Street Profits can, but not both of them.

[@TungstenArm]

I would love to see Street Profits vs Lucha Bros

[@SSJFutureGohan62093]

Andrew WWE has shown a lot of reactions to AEW over Wrestlemania weekend. Cursing, some blood, Taker flipping off AJ, Mr McBossMan, etc. Now a tag team like that.

[@matterlichman8424]

I hope not. 80% of those teams have no idea how damage or stamina should work. More Kenny/Page style teams, less like the Bucks.

[@jounigames5876]

To be honest, I think I know what that Big Show thing was about. They wanted to troll us into thinking that Big Show would win just because of his TV show. So no, he was not here because of the TV show, he was here because of the perfect trolling opportunity. We were so sure, under these circumstances, that WWE would drop the ball... but they did not, and it was supposed to be cathartic. In other words, they worked us smarks! And why it happened on Wrestlemania? Because that way they could promote it at the start of the show!

[@InvincibleYoungEmpire]

Of course we weren't happy when Livy lost after she won at Mania but the fight she put up against for Women's champion, Asuka spoke volumes. Livy always had it in her. Just have to have the right opponents most of the time. So glad that Bianca is apart of RAW. The vibe, attitude and FEEL is going to be amazing. Wasn't a big fan of the matches being basically the same. Seeing Apolla take on Aleister in the fashion he did was another example of many times it takes the right opponent or the higher ups giving you that leverage. Though he lost, we still ponder on his heel turn. Wish 1/2 was apart of RAW. Was so elated seeing them on RAW and feel they should've gotten the win but interested in seeing what's in store for Ric and Cedric. Not sure what happened to KO. Wish we got Kevin Steen back... What we figured was going to happen with NIA was have maybe Deonna in the ring and SURPRISE! It's NIA. But this could've waited and so proud of Deonna. She seems to always get the call to come up.
