WWE Raw 12/2/24 Review: New Day TURNS On Big E! CM Punk Eyes WrestleMania, McIntyre RETURNS!

[@samuell24]

Raw was cooking tonight, man that new day segment hit hard

[@MoeJaxon]

JD aplogize for what? You’re a podcaster. It’s your job! Nothing to apologize for, they need a thicker skin

[@JaimeD.]

Punk, Rollins, and Zayn did a great opening. Kofi, Woods, and Big E pulled off a heartbreaking moment. And, the return of DM Hunk was the last thing I expected with a terrific cliffhanger to close the show. Thanks to the crowd in Everett, WA, for their reactions.

[@Alisuleivani94]

Yeah I mean that new day segment was shocking big e was just trying to help them of being their manager and then they turn on big e was sad I'm thinking that's the story like big e will come out and say that he's medically clear and then we'll fight either Kofi and Xavier woods you know

[@0elpollojuan0]

New Day is the best example of how you can work with ice cold talent but there is always an exciting story to be told to make them relevant again. Great stuff.

[@Suplexis]

That Big E turn was heart shattering

[@JonHinman85]

Keep doing what you're doing JD. As The Miz once said "I would much rather you boo me for who I am, than cheer me for someone I'm not."

[@HelloSayEm6]

When did he say that?

[@aaronbaker1995]

You can really tell how good of a show JD just watched by the Energy of the “What the Fuck are you guys drinking!!”

[@danieleasterday8795]

Keep going JD screw the haters they don't like truth.

[@DavidT608]

2:01:56 - 2:28:54. OH MY GOODNESS! You know there is a saying in this world called "If ain't broke don't fix it!" JD as long as the metrics continue to be in your favor as far as the KZbin Algorithm is concerned. You don't need to change for anybody! In my opinion, in addition to the OTS disclaimer at the start of your AEW reviews, I think your guy Sallrex needs to do what Jesse suggested before and that's create an OTS disclaimer for the WWE reviews as well. Members of the IWC that are this soft need to get over themselves. Keep doing what you do best JD!

[@CDouble28]

JD Came across you when I got sick of fake podcasters. I listen for your takes good or bad on AEW and WWE. I appreciate you for you. I do my show with my guys I quote you alot. So you rock keep up the awesome work😊

[@agentsmith5514]

Night one Roman Rock. Night 2 Cody, Punk. Punk finishes his story, beating mister nightmare himself With Paul Hayman is right there with CM Punk, leading him in to victory.

[@Bama20512]

If you think about it…. This is Batista’s fault for Roman becoming who he is. He never leaves WWE and Evolution, then HHH never initiates plan B with Seth . A lil out there but in all good fun 😂😂😂

[@H-TownVibes]

Not gonna lie I did tear up seeing the new day split.

[@lonewolf4644]

This has to be the one of MY favorite Monday night raw this year the storytelling was immaculate almost brought tears to my eyes

[@Scott-zw8cb]

Standing up for your opinions, props

[@JuCarnon7310]

Loved how Rollins let people chant his theme and waited until Punk chants came again

[@_Tahmar]

As predictable as WWE can be, I will admit nobody saw that New Day segment coming. They better change that corny intro music from now on though and be a true heel team. WWE has a lot of angles they can push right now and hopefully they don’t blow it.

[@thehardcoregamer2000]

This was one of the best episodes of 2000 and 24 I really enjoyed Monday Night raw we got two excellent promos one from CM punk and Seth Rollins and the other one was between Seth Rollins and Sammy Zane this show had a lot of storytelling which is very important when you watch any TV show who would've thought Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods would turn their backs on biggie I have been listening to this podcast since 2015 and I've always said I respect anybody that can speak their mind without sugarcoating anything not many people can do this keep up the good work JD I am looking forward to the next episode of TNT later tonight.☺️

[@Swaytekk]

I’m calling it, Reigns and Punk vs Rollins and McIntyre

[@pcgamingworld5095]

That was crazy what Xavier Woods in Kofi Kingston did to big e I'm down for a heel version of Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods can't wait to see how the crowd reacts to that again

[@carlosr6462]

good ol storytelling, that was a good RAW and I have not a watch a show live in months.

[@Sawert132]

Drew is obsessed with punk and bloodline.

[@mariojawahir2825]

With good reason. He got screwed over by them. Drew Kevin and Rollins all have beef with them in wrestling life.

[@Scott-zw8cb]

The Howard Stern of pro wrestling, much love

[@maxcalderon9221]

Hey JD, thank you for being honest on your podcast. Keep doing what you're doing. I'm a big fan of your podcast, and I watch you every week.

[@louisharrison6593]

😂😂😂 "nobody's watching your husband" is wild..😂😂

[@ethanhunt3242]

Kinda hard for me to take all these big tough wrestlers seriously when they all start crying everytime JD tweets about them.

[@ToneVC]

My favorite cocktail would have to be a Hennessy old fashioned 🥃

[@mikegagliardi7916]

Seth, is the only one who is staying 100% true to his character and sees through Roman and his plans to re-established Regin of the WWE. This episode with so much dialogue that it can be dissected for weeks! Very good show but the way the show ended with Drew was the twist I didn't expect but Drew is not done with PUNK and anyone he is friendly with is in trouble! Love this shit.

[@JCLopez209]

Welp lol I can't wait to see Ricochet go after JD now that he mentioned Samantha Irvin lol

[@fredd.sanders4094]

Storyline is key,I liked the way HHH pull at your heart strings,CM Punk was about to announce the favor til Rollins interrupted him to set up his next feud,long term booking,Roman wins the title then the favor goes into affect!!

[@Suplexis]

If I were to rank WWE PPVs this year, here is my top 5 1. WRESTLEMANIA Sunday 2. Summerslam 3. Clash at the Castle 4. Survivor Series 5. Bad Blood

[@truindividual]

Day after day, I'm starting to hate wrestling fans more and more. Why I fricking turned off X. Fucking hell. As a guy from Jersey, JD...I fuck with your passion my dude. Keep doing you

[@CDouble28]

New Day segment was hard and amazing. Punk and Rollins will be so intense. I wonder can we say KO Seth And Drew team up to destroy Roman

[@1Ksheffi]

Didn't expect the New Day to turn on Big E like that. That was a shocker. Even so, that's some good ass storytelling and proves that this new administration isn't playing it safe anymore. 2025 is going to be something on WWE TV

[@desmondmcdade4934]

I was at the show tonight, had a great time!!!! One match I would highly recommend watching is the Creed Brothers vs LWO that was taped for Main Event, that was easily the best match of the night.

[@alanmcdonald469]

Outside of the Women's segments, I thought Raw was a great watch this week. The potential for things going forward is so good to see, and if they do go with a slow burns Rollins heel turn, I am gonna love every second of it in particular.

[@MrXabungle]

Tonight's Raw was shockingly better than Survivor Series.

[@thepunisherlion1236]

Yeah right😂 two lame women matches and a disapoiting new day segment that didnt let to anything but a heel turn of new day to a non active wrestler😂. The begining and the end were great.

[@deestone2516]

"and a DISAPOITING new day segment" If your trying troll. U failed.. that new day segment is objectively compelling story telling. The only ones "disapoited" in this segment is AEW Sickos.

[@thepunisherlion1236]

@@deestone2516 bro this is supposed to be a new era u know a era that is now owned by triple h u would expect he would remove all the pg era elements that vince left its been 10 years i mean if it was emotional sure but still its over end this tag team im not trolling or anything this tag team is still super overated for me good wrestlers but common the gimmick is embarassing ive seen the best moments i was praying for this new day shit to end. big e literally just appeared so the new day has an excuse to continue a be a thing i mean good for them that they are heel but didnt we already seen that before when they worked with the authority? Now its diferent because they ditched big e i mean big e was never with them recently so whats the diference? Compelling storytelling was ending the new day and make kofi heel make him break the stuff of the ring or make him spit on his new day legacy that would be cool to watch or make him attack big e that would dark but suprising to watch now this this was nothing. Big e wasnt cleared to compete so why are they bragging with him i mean did they forgot that kurt angle and stone cold were medically cleared to compete? And that edge actually took 14 years to wrestle again? I just dont know why they jumped at big e lmao🤣. Not an aew chill or anything because i did enjoyed what happened at the begining and end of raw and im praising some stuff triple h has been doing but im not jump the wagon now just because triple h is doing everything now. The womens are still embarassing to watch the ammount of titles its making this roster lack even more when it comes to opurtunities.

[@deestone2516]

@@thepunisherlion1236 bro, I am by NO MEANS a new day guy. Just like you I thought the gimmick was trash. But I feel like they definitely took it to the next level character wise, in a impactful that drew an emotion from lots and lots of people. I say this is definitely money. Story wise.

[@Bevlar90]

“No is watching your husband” is so funny 😂

[@dogred431]

I wonder if E is cleared but they held off on physicality to not blow a surprise at the Rumble. Like you could imagine Kofi and Woods having a spot in the rumble where they elimate a few people and stand tall, then the clock counts down and Big E makes his big in ring return. Really hope they are swerving us with him not being cleared, because it would be a crying shame if his in ring career is really over

[@loitersquadX]

It's not over. He said once he is cleared, he's going to be back soon. I think the way to do it is early in the Rumble, OR maybe he addresses his future and they attack him and "end his career." 👊💪

[@TreyMessiah95]

@@loitersquadXI mean don’t he has the same neck injury as edge? So he could I think it’s part of the story but he’s going to come back

[@DavidT608]

47:06. Oh no ROTFLMFAO! I think I might have a couple of hunches as far as what this "goal" reward is. Now that's a cliffhanger for you all! If this is what JD has alluded to before on previous streams and on TNT, its going to be EPIC! LMFAO! We will see come tomorrow! #longtermbooking

[@royercrosbypatton6370]

Another Monday Night Raw in the books as well as continuous storylines and feuds getting off the runway gotta love it plus the New Day heel segment was great to see especially since they could use a heel turn I'm all in for it in support of long term story telling as well as long term booking and when we get to January 6th in 2025 when Raw goes to Netflix should be a clinic that we're all definitely here for & nice to see Big E come back.

[@michaelvasquez2386]

Cheree Crowley Has A Gimmick Dakota Kai And She Has Good In Ring Performer I could see her Potentially Winning This Tournament

[@Cat-ml2gk]

Tonight’s segment will be played when the New Day go into the Hall of Fame. When Big E returns he’s gonna be a main event worthy baby face.

[@tedstrand150]

Hell of a show last night

[@jerobi2k406]

JD out here daily calling exactly what he sees. You deserve flowers and he gives them to you. You deserve criticism and he gives it to you. There are so many shows out there just saying things no one can relate to and bizarre takes. JD is calling it just how it is and that’s why I’m here! ☝️ ❤

[@juansalazar4812]

I picked Dakota to win her match but I do see Zoey winning her match Zelina wins hers and Kairi wins her match but I picked Zelina Vega to win the whole tournament

[@vileluca]

Excellent Raw tonight except for the women's tag match.

[@georgegerbigiv4271]

Absolutely great show last night. You popped into my algorithm one day and have been a follower and listener ever since.

[@JDfromNY]

Welcome aboard!

[@AjayBhatti-td1wy]

I can’t believe Everett WA was alive tonight unlike AEW crowds.

[@jfive31]

Oh shit!! KO could've attacked Jey Uso.... that would be a long term story for KO vs Sami at Mania...

[@DonDash20]

JD i said they were both going to turn 2 weeks on Big E

[@vileluca]

The one thing that would set me over the edge is if we eventually get the fact that Paul Heyman used to manage The Undertaker being involved in some way for why Taker attacked Rock at WM. How that connection is explained I dont know, but an explanation for why Taker stopped Rocky would be cool to get eventually.

[@michaelrokicki6912]

Do you think Tony Khan would fear for his life if Cody and Punk wrestle at WrestleMania?😂😂😂

[@HelloSayEm6]

Does that even matter?

[@michaelrokicki6912]

@ it does if you think it’s hilarious

[@HelloSayEm6]

@@michaelrokicki6912 Honestly, I could care less about the TK controversy, I only care about the reviews.

[@Aortic-arch]

This might be one of the best raw episodes of this year.

[@benespinosa6725]

this stream was so much fun monday night raw was an awesome show last night that New day segment was incredible really enjoyed that seth rollins and CM punk brawl was awesome lol CM punk said fuck when Seth's music hit which was absolutely hilarious drew McIntyre returning was awesome lol Joe tessitore knew it was drew McIntyre he did this before which makes me glad he didn't say who is that since he already knew joe has been doing such a great job on commentary for raw.

[@kalebbricelybricely2253]

Great Raw I can't wait to hear your take JD story is King.

Great Show🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@Redheadkingpin27]

My god this raw was fucking masterful hell yeah good all good new day segment we had drew bad ass Finn hell I had more fun with raw then the ple seriously story story got that right one of the best raws I've seen all year

[@BlakeCausey-x9o]

Wow man the new day segment

[@quimmyshrugged]

Cancel culture is cancelled. Didn't they get the memo?

[@TheMindWarpRecords]

I think this was a great table setting episode, and not just in the sense of "fork goes here, knife goes there, plate goes there" and the stories are static. It's more like setting up a buffet. You can go Sami/Rollins for a while, or Sami/Drew. or Jey/Rollins, hell even Punk and Jey or Sami against Drew/Rollins. There are many, many ways to get to the expected Punk/Rollins match and that is great.

[@lmq9516]

Big E royal rumble entry number 30? Raw after WM return match? Don’t know what his timetable is, but I can’t wait to see him back. Triple H cooked a 5 star meal with tonight’s show. One of the best Raws of the year.

[@pools1523]

@JDfromNY206, you are entitled to your opinion. Never bow down to anyone!

[@jimbobdc]

Yea, we all know this is why AEW is failing. The new day storytelling gives a reason to watch rather than Tony Khan 5 stary suck fest

[@sbg95ifty]

The best in the IWC for a reason, and it’s not even close. F*ck the bots. I absolutely hated listening to other podcast, outside of Cornette (who was the only one I really listened to at the time) for how fake they were. You can see right through it. Nothing authentic about them. Just fake, robotic “humans” who lie straight to your face. And then I found JD through the Jade Cargill drama. And let me tell you, JD is the ONLY ONE, outside of Cornette & Solomonster (thank you JD for introducing me to Solo) that keeps it real. Whether I agree or not, I appreciate it. Never change JD.. I know you won’t 🥃

[@Bubwill1003]

I love how most of the Major storylines are somehow connected to Roman reigns. Turning Roman heel in 2020 has to be one of the best decisions in WWE History.

[@ChrisTigerHarris]

So hate to say it but i mean Kofi & Woods do have a point, you can still wrestle and get in the ring with a broken bone, i mean look at Cody at Hell In A Cell 2 years ago, if Big E cared about them he would have been out there with them wrestling every week another justifed heel turn W from Triple H

[@danielrobinson6854]

The new day story was always going to lead to Kofi and Woods turning on Big E. They brought in Odyssey Jones as his replacement. HHH had this in mind from the summer, and Odyssey was meant to replace E

[@chrismurray8483]

I THINK that CM PUNK doing his signature taunt "go to sleep" whilst the 4 other OG bloodline members put the "one's" in the end @ the end of the match is CM punk saying that he will put Roman to sleep @ some point. I am caption freaking obvious ahoy😊

[@garv04]

No

[@chrismurray8483]

Let's see 😂

[@MoeJaxon]

I didn’t watch raw but I caught the recap on KZbin . Looks like a good show

[@FariddBC]

McIntyre also have history with the bloodline and when jay left his family and get to raw drew didn't welcome him or forgaved him so maybe he also get angry seeing both sami and jay get back with roman

[@mikegagliardi7916]

Also Has anyone else notice how bad Lillian Garcia has been since she has returned for Samantha? I think this is an overlooked part of the show.

[@chrisellam2867]

Good replay I just watched... Keep crushing brother!!!!

[@KingOfTheNorth822]

Heyman is going to get Punk #30 in the rumble

[@Amanda.Nikole]

Been listening to you since 2011!! … I think 😂 Anyway, never change JD!!

[@SlickRick_95]

The New Day segment was gold. I called it Kofi and Woods turning on Big E to get themselves back on the same page. I don’t know when Big E will be cleared, but he will return to the ring one day.

[@joshmatlock1020]

One of the best RAWs of the year....from the first segment to the last....it was so good. Putting Punk with the OG bloodline was so well thought out and has led to at least two major storylines. Seth is madder at Punk for having helped Roman and is also upset at the rest of the OG bloodline and now Drew is back and is probably pissed at the OG bloodline for teaming with Punk...This was so good.

[@ayefilms5550]

another great round up about raw thanks jd

[@phillipbrown2318]

Fantastic Raw Tonight the new day segment was Masterfully executed along with Cm Punk and Seth Rollins. Why can Dynamite be like this it's used to be.

[@LoriGarźa-z1f]

Perhaps it was kofi and Xavier that attacked jey Usos

[@arrozconeverything]

59:58 Are you sure about that? HBK was wearing shorts that'd make Sable blush.

[@Eddyriderfan]

2:04:29 Did Nia go out of her way to search for negative feedback and was attacking fans all night? I ask because you never tagged her page, and even though other people were tagging her, she could've easily ignored it, lol. Nia has such a fragile ego, she has no business being a wrestler.

[@Micisme86]

Fam it's par for the course. If your job is to critique a product, don't be mad when your product is critiqued

[@shadic1988]

Like many, I think the Rhea/Liv feud should've ended at Bad Blood with Rhea winning. I don't want to see it go on any further. Raquel is as green as Jade Cargill and Kamille, Liv's promos just bore the fuck out of me, and something is just off with baby face Rhea. Plus they basically told you the result of the Women's World Title Match on Saturday Night's Main Event that Iyo is losing which sucks because Iyo should win. If Iyo doesn't then this feud needs to die at Royal Rumble. I don't wanna see this go to WrestleMania 41.

[@ShadowSelf216]

I like HHH but he swung and missed with the whole Liv/Rhea/Dom split. It’s not his fault entirely due to injuries, but it has fallen flat. I also do not like putting raquel in the Judgement Day, group is becoming diluted with too many members.

[@shadic1988]

​@@ShadowSelf216I don't blame him for things like injuries happening. That's nobody's fault and I'd be a dick if I tried to blame anyone for that. But the issues are more due to Bad Blood and how the ending of it was handled. And the multiple members of Judgement Day diluting the faction, I agree a lot.

[@President_Shin]

New day had the best segment in years, the acting was on another level, something that hasn’t been done since mark henry.

[@brucethetacoguy2088]

It's good that new day is turning heel

[@Alisuleivani94]

Monday Night Raw was very, very good, with CM Punk starting the show and then Seth Rollins coming out and brawling with punk and the exchange words between sami and seth amazing, and most of all, New Day turning on Big E, which was the biggest shocker of them all, and then Drew McIntyre returned to attack both Jey Uso and Sami Zayn. Monday Night Raw is great again.

[@SUPERTROOPER89]

Im envious to a point, but life is like the matrix, once you have been unplugged you can never go back in, the world isn't sunshine and rainbows, it just isnt, some scars you get from life never heal, plus the scars define you are, some folks can live in wonderland, I choose the real world, regardless of how harsh it can be

[@ShadowSelf216]

💯💯

[@adrirajdatta8119]

Now all I want to see Randy returns at the Saturday night main event as heel apex predator attacking both Cody and KO

[@AviatorBeard]

Drew attacked jey back stage and sami because they both helped Roman. Hear me out here and I'm dead serious, who are the 3 men who have delt with the bloodline more then anyone. Drew, Seth and Kevin owes, I am aware two are on raw and one is on smackdown but I think these three men make the biggest heel faction in company history and it's all thanks to Roman and the bloodline.

[@JonHinman85]

Maybe add LA Knight, he said he would take down the Bloodline during Crown Jewel last year.

[@deestone2516]

Wouldn't it make more sense if drew was mad because they teamed with Punk? Why would drew be mad, because they teamed with Roman?

[@Karanchaudhary1740]

His heel turn was based on Cody bringing jey back to raw, drew has history with bloodline. Jey and Sami turned to help Roman and show their true faces just as drew had been enlightening everyone about during his slow heel turn.

[@godking311]

Seth thinking that Raw is his show over Punk's is comical Punk was carrying Raw and Smackdown when Seth was still on the independent circuit he must've forgot

[@emdot31301]
