00:08Only WWE could put on arguably it’s best
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined3
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedzombies, as part of a promotional deal for
00:25Netflix’s new Batista movie Army of the
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110

00:44The backlash, pun intended, even reached the
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined11
undefined:undefined12
undefined:undefined13
undefined:undefined14
undefined:undefined15
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsaddest moments ever?
01:11Tell me all the other terrible angles over
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined21
undefined:undefined22
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda knee injury during the match, though the
01:30severity is currently unknown.
01:32Miz was absent from last night’s episode
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined27
undefined:undefined28
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwas legitimately injured was Cesaro, whose
01:54arm was bruised up during his main event match
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined33
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedCesaro's arm was not from a prior injury but
02:13called "lucky bruising" in the sense the match
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined38
undefined:undefined39
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmade until around 5.30-6pm EST, around the
02:39time the Kickoff Show began.
02:41These last minute changes carried over to
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined44
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto Tuesday nights, is reporting new sets are
03:02being designed for both Raw & SmackDown.
03:04With the ThunderDome potentially coming to
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined49
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedAlexa Bliss, and finding out what happened
03:23to stables in WWE.
03:25But now it’s time for a review of last night’s
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined55
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe WWE Championship at WrestleLash - and
03:59to issue an open challenge… to anyone not
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined59
undefined:undefined60
undefined:undefined61
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedRyker caused the DQ and Omos chased him away
04:25- implying AJ and Omos are babyfaces now?
04:28Angel Garza squashed Drew Gulak and then stuffed
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined67
undefined:undefined68
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedParent Trap trying to get Randy Orton to apologise
04:52to the New Day backstage - which led to a
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined75
undefined:undefined76
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfeud.
05:14Alexa Bliss then hosted the dogecoin of wrestling,
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined82
undefined:undefined83
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedoff pyro on the turnbuckle, blinding Reginald,
05:36with the champions capitalising on the distraction.
05:39This sucked.
05:42In classic WWE style, they have indeed started
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined90
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthan the BackMania pre-show, which Ricochet
06:06once again lost, this time from a Brogue Kick.
06:08I expect Ricochet to get another match next
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined96
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedTV match, with Rhea coming down to watch at
06:26ringside, and so WWE could cut to commercial.
06:28They also kept cutting to a black screen.
06:31Not because of any supernatural Bliss interference,
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined103
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedrecurring booking, I guess.
07:04What’s lamer, zombies or Mace and T-Bar
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined110
undefined:undefined111
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlumberjack matches.
07:26You can take the guys out of Retribution,
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined117
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis depressing enough.
07:48But looking around the ring was just as discouraging.
07:50Mace and T-Bar, Nikki Cross, the Viking Raiders.
07:53Remember when they made their return from
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined124
undefined:undefined125
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedzombie gimmick from Backlash is actually a
08:13metaphor.
08:14That when you think this feud is dead, it’ll
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined131
undefined:undefined132
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand T-Bar.
08:32And just when you’re thinking it’s going
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined136
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhe never said this was for the title - which
08:50he never did, so that’s actual smart heel
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined142
undefined:undefined143
undefined:undefined144
which could either
:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedforward, an Armageddon 2001-style six man
09:19Hell in a Cell match!
09:20What did you think of Raw?
09:21Let me know in the comments down below and
undefined:undefined00:00:12,769 --> 00:00:16,110
undefined:undefined151
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand I’m optimistic about the WWE title picture.
09:44This week’s Raw is 3 out
09:56of 5.
