Simon how are you doing mentally and emotionally brother? As men it's not easy to admit when we're struggling and I really think we need to start checking on each other more. So I hope you're doing well mentally physically and emotionally. I see you're healing from the spear that caused the bleeding. Love ya Simon please be safe during your wrestling. You're in my prayers and thoughts mate.

[@ShippiddSocial]

Oh, no biggie, it's just Big E making a cameo in Ups and Downs. Golden up for that man!

[@wrestlerecap1324]

No BigE

[@Thecultofwrestling]

Yes big e

[@jjenk911]

Agreed. He looks good, in good spirits, even though there is no timetable for Big E to return.

[@AngelusNielson]

Is there a lifetime up award? because seeing Big E again made me want to give it one.

Thank you Big E for being the best person ever. Check out his project, too. It’s not only so well done but a great story to boot!

[@boyankovachev7982]

Thank you for being the best and most amazing part of the internet wrestling community. We love you, Simon. One love ❤️

Charlie the chair and Kendra the Kendo Sticks 😂

[@chefsalgadobx]

Loved the names

[@boyankovachev7982]

While I get that Big E's appearance was in big part to promote that, genuinely amazing looking, short movie, those two references make me think that he has probably watched, or at least seen, Ups and Downs a few times, even if he hasn't, this was brilliant, and I loved it. Hopefully Big E will soon be able to return to the ring, tho his health and happiness come first, and he shouldn't put anything before those things. One love ❤️

[@k.c.7511]

Simon, those names need to be canon now!

He does frequent UpUpDownDown, so merely one Up and one Down should be easy for him.

Not only did Big E come into review the new day versus Imperial match, but he gave the ring items their proper names and even some new ones. UP

Was not expecting the Big E cameo! That was awesome!

3:17 Sami has to use the blue thunder bomb to win a title. I just want to see Simon’s reaction.

[@josephalonzo1059]

Well if you remember the past 12 months like I do, Sami actually won a match with the Blue Thunder Bomb a few weeks before Simon started calling it THE LEAST DEVASTATING MOVE IN ALL OF SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT

[@JimTheFly]

Hmmm.. well, then in that case, we've got to get a belt on AJ Styles first, because AJ's two weaknesses are apparently CHIKARA ring ropes and the Blue Thunder Bomb.

[@sezanmahmudshuvo2546]

@@josephalonzo1059 You troll, don't make things up, sami won with blue thunder after simon started the least devastating.... , and simon was shell shocked that night

Seeing Big E always makes me happy. This show gets a golden up.

Holy shit big e doing a segment on this show is crazy

Yoooo! Thanks for the shout-out, Simon! I appreciate you :)

Big E making a cameo 😁😁

[@Dakiraun]

Simone, gotta correct ya; Big-E is an 11/10 human being. *SO* awesome to see Big-E in that video! Fun surprise.

[@MannanGoel]

I felt like this was one of the best Raws we have seen in a long time. So many appearances. 1. Great promos (Beck vs Rhea, Seth vs Drew) 2. Importance given to IC title and hints that Sami, Gable, Dominic, Priest and Andrade all can be involved. 3. Love being given to my DIY boys and Awesome Truth. Always good to see them 4. Women’s division is on fire 5. Great main event segment And obviously great matches between Sami and Shinsuke and New Day and Imperium

[@wrecclessescobar6252]

Shout-out Big E

[@tylerblemieux]

The two phones at the end with Heyman was the best thing on the night

[@deansheets]

Holy crap BIG E

[@DJones1812]

And we all cheered when Simon walked off the stage to not up the downs of the street fight. Well played.

[@djtodorov]

KENDRA THE KENDO STICK!

Simon as usual u are the best and u get the GOLDEN UP

[@k-dawgHI]

Simon Miller AND Big E doing ups and downs together!? NOW THAT is a Golden Up!!! Also I am from now on forever referring to the Steel Chair as Charlie. That was brilliant. Loved seeing Big E. Just like Simon he’s just a bundle of positivity! 💙💜

I think it's beautiful how you all have embraced Big E on this channel. Totally awesome ❤

Dom turning on Rhea and joining Nia would be amazing.

Judgement day gonna kick out Ripley?

I'm so glad that I didn't read the comments before watching, unlike normal!! Popped when Big E popped up :D Saw Adam's interview with him and really love the crossover promotion. Such a good way to do this!

[@nsofwamumbi2899]

Ohhhhhh yesssssss!!! Don't you dare be sour!!! Love the cameo

Raw was a wild ride it's also great to see Big E here on ups and downs he's awesome Terrific job Big E hope to see you back in the ring if not maybe Commentary could work

[@hubertthomas4347]

Sami, Bronson, Chad, Dominik all want the belt? Ladder match? Yes. Also the Big E cameo made my day.

[@thecoolfrost]

A Big E cameo! That's so cool! It's like when Shelton benjamin said he watches every ups and downs

[@CJenkerson]

00:08:47 I don’t really know who this new guy is filling for Simon, but no biggie 😉 he seems pretty nice.

[@tompatchak8706]

No big E?

[@alwaysxnever]

9:00 this was amazing. Put this man on commentary.

[@Vinceras]

Freaking immediately smashed the up when I saw Big-E on the screen. If I could have given a golden up, I would. Love this collab! Get well soon and I hope for many many many happy days ahead for you sir!

That Big E segment gets the most golden Gold Up ever!

The biggest “NYPD” (I think Heyman meant to say LAPD) officer is PNW talent Jordan Oasis. Solid worker, even better guy.

Two golden ups for the special guest today. Feeling all warm and fuzzy

[@princedevitt7716]

Best part of Gunther's title run is the fact that more people are after his title than after the world titles.

[@DHKer23]

I wanna see Tom & Nick Mysterio vs The Ring General! And yes, Big E, I like the name Kendra 🤣

[@stickydoodle8198]

If we get Sami Zyan vs Gunther, wouldn’t it be ironic if Sami ended up winning with the blue thunder bomb? Gunther can survive everything else but the least devastating move in sports entertainment.

You know, I think I wouldn't mind Theory turning on Waller and go on to have a babyface run. A sprinkle of disrespect and a touch of jealousy, Waller is everything that Theory wanted to be on the main roster. Dude's actually an okay guy his character aside

[@tompatchak8706]

I could see that.

[@Bryandan1elson]

I wonder how much Big E watches ups and downs... is he here now? Lurking in the comments? If so, I love you

[@BadenAW]

I loved the fact that Heyman's Rock phone had a Brahma Bull logo on the back. I thought it was a nice touch

[@Matucks]

Drew had me laughing out loud, his heel act is authentic, original, and entertaining. It seems he learned how to deliver his lines better and more confident. Great Job Drew, he was the highlight of the night for me

[@tompatchak8706]

Not like over the top

[@Matucks]

@@tompatchak8706 Well for me its the best Drew I've ever seen. His old characters were just getting by no special interest. Heel drew is jabbing at so many wrestlers and he's getting them upset which is great for entertainment. Just my opinion
