I got a great new counter idea for your show Simon… now you add a counter for every time the blue thunder bomb is use and doesn’t get the 3 count

[@tomseville2345]

A lot of people might have missed Dom, with an ice-pack to his head, telling Finn backstage "I'm okay. I've had worse than this in the yard". 🤣🤣

[@irwincardozo6713]

Drew's slow descent to madness is a thing of beauty!

[@PMack5]

Bring back the Scottish Psychopath

[@JimmyJam266]

No lie, I'm slightly terrified of Scottish Psychopath heel Drew but this is good for business! 👍

[@tomseville2345]

It is, but...heels shouldn't be right. And Drew would have a legit right to hate Jey...

[@karnage2948]

@@tomseville2345not necessarily, heels just need to do things a way that’s viewed as wrong. Pretty much everyone is sold on giving jey a chance, Cody did the right thing by helping jey, drew done the wrong thing by leaving him to be attacked. An easy example is thanos, he had good intentions and a legit reason to half the universe population to solve potential extinctions however there are other ways to solve the problem

[@studioseppuku9454]

All those who say Dom can’t wrestle certainly had to eat their words tonight. That match was 🔥

[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

Dom is so improved. As much as I wasn't sure about him winning the NXT NA Championship, it was definitely the right thing to do. I now look forward to every time Dom wrestles.

[@josuafraser4865]

Bruh, ever since i seen dom Vs rey at wm39 earlier this year he made me a believer in his in ring work. And he’s only gotten better ever since.

[@janeloray4801]

I actually appreciated the interference by Ivar because it protected Kofi instead of just jobbing him out to McIntyre. Who produced this episode of Raw? It was actually fantastic!!

[@Main_Records]

The bit where Drew McIntyre kept telling Miz "Shut up Miz" got me belly laughing. It was so great. I am all in on the Drew heel turn. I think it will for sure advance his character. And a Cody vs Drew matchup makes me warm and fuzzy in my tum tum.

[@MasterHistory-vj4zi]

Oh yeah, the predictable feud where "One arm" Cody wins all the matches is great🤦🏻‍♂️that's basically a way to ruin Drew's heel turn 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Main_Records]

@@MasterHistory-vj4zi I know WWE recycles a lot of stuff but wouldn't play out that way. I think it would be more of a put McIntyre in his place. Or even have him go over on Cody or even interference. Either way would still be a good feud. Sorry if I don't share the same view.

[@MasterHistory-vj4zi]

@@Main_Records Drew wouldn't win against Cody... It would be the final step of Drew's burial, that's it.... "One arm" Cody never loses unless he faces Roman or Brock

[@MasterHistory-vj4zi]

@@Main_Records it would be a shit feud with predictable stuff and with Super Cody having another predictable feud, that's it.... Drew is going to have a wasted heel turn because of the possible feud with Cody Rhodes

[@Main_Records]

Simon Miller is the best damn thing on this channel. WWE should have him at the commentary table.

[@damonodell9125]

Dude we are witnessing a legend in the making and I have a feeling this thing between he and Lee will last years on and off.

[@Xpwnetz]

The heel character and persona is top tier. But in ring he isn't that good. Imo. Everyone does the frog splash and his 619 looks terrible. Just wish him and WWE would give him his own finishers.

[@Loki_Firegod]

I will just say this. Goofy Wrestling For Life. Wrestling is fun most of the times, but this episode of Raw made me laugh more than usual, especially Miz TV. Miz' shock when Drew kept shouting "shut up, Miz" everytime he tried to comment was just hilarious, as were the three other guys. I also love that despite WWE still being a PG product, they've started putting some of the madness of ages past back in language-wise, because it is - again - goofy AF and I love it.

[@xmazren091x2]

The best part for me was Wade saying " big men slapping man meat " don't know why but it made me chuckle

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

Cody & Dom promos are savage especially Dom going Will Smith mode 😂

[@ronald-xs7sp]

Dom slapped Chris Rock?

[@natecloudboiy4770]

Dom will slap both of them and have will’s wife on the side

[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

[@Qwazaar919]

dirty dom vs dragon lee was crazy. i can't believe how far dominik has come. and he did it all solo. .. tell dragon to stop slapping the hell out of his thighs tho... sweet jeezuz. one of the best raws in a good min

[@matthewhostetter8974]

For a RAW that didn't look good on paper, this ended up being a great show. Yes, I want the KO/Sami vs. Judgement Day feud to end, but they continue to put on great matches. Tegan Knox got some time to sign. Dom and Dragon Lee was already a Match of Week contender. Otis and Bron were hard-hitting. Really the only negative of the entire show was Nia Jax's promo and squashing of Zoey. So much for Zoey's push. I still worry over all how the ratings will be for the show, but it was a good time.

[@Segwo]

I tuned in just before the Miz TV segment, I wasn’t gonna watch raw but I got bored. Man was I glad I caught that one. “Shut up Miz!” Made me laugh every time somehow

[@markabraham2367]

Dom was good. Sold those moves pretty well. Having him win clean was smart, too

[@ShieldYoung]

Dominic is improving week by week not just with Promos and attitude displays but also with wrestling

It was a awesome Raw surprised that Tegan Nox was there bc hadn't seen her in months I was happy anyways to see her I also think McIntyre will turn heel which would be awesome he does better in that role I'm also looking forward to the last Man Standing Match between Shinkuske & Rollins for the title should be incredible the main event between KO & Zayn against Damien Preist & Finn Balor was also cool what a cool finish with Cody & Jey plus Jd getting involved towards the end btw great job Simon as always you get a golden up

[@Bored377]

I enjoy Nia being back, and her beating top women on Raw easily like Zoe makes her more intimidating towards Rhea and Raquel

[@donhutchens9718]

I have a thought. Nia Jax should continue to squash the ladies division.....until Jade makes her debut. Nia versus Jade would be awesome

[@PMack5]

It would also make sense for Nia to go after Becky. Even though, the fans would hate it, it would definitely draw attention. Nia needs the NXT and the WWE Women’s Championship for the grand slam…

[@TheDarknight3x]

That Dragon Lee and Dominik match was excellent. I watched it and caught myself thinking "Yep, Dominik DEFINITELY has Lucha in him. The funny thing though is that if this match happened in any other promotion, people would call it "flippy dippy gymnastics". The crowd was into it, so hopefully there'll be more of this in the near future.

[@DavidOwen-yv8wz]

What a great main event! Hope and sure it’s setting up a four v four match at Fastlane, and again, bigger, maybe even WAR GAMES, at Survivor Series….

[@PMack5]

JD with Judgment Day to make it five with Rhea or another guy? And who would be the fifth for team Cody?

Okay i got some problems with the Jey story. 1. I like that he's having a redemption arc, but the fact that Sami was just excepted makes less sense now. 2. Why aren't the New Day more upfront with support for him, they have so much history, but i like that they are clearly pro Jey now. Just little stuff really, honestly i hope redemption arcs become the norm moving forward for heels
