What a deflating end to one of the best title runs in WWE (non Roman division).

However not all is lost, Uncle Paul finally replaced those stupid looking tag belts that stayed around way too long.

Sami entering through the people was good shit.

Solid episode. At least you heat up Liv Morgan in this process and you'll crown a new champ ASAP.

Also, this new direction just fucking highlights how much Kevin Dunn sucked ass. Nice transitions between segments, different angles, non-seizure inducing cuts... That guy sucks ass.

And it can't be understated how much Gunther elevated the IC belt. I guess Rollins' WHC arc ended up paying off in terms of storyline drama, but still, the top belt there was Gunther's.

Last night's Raw was solid, and I applaud them for trying out new production techniques. Lee Fitting's impact is becoming evident; he's proving to be a fantastic hiring.

We're so back.

It's a shameful thing!  Sheamus getting his old music back was highlight of the show for me.

Liv should've won the Rumble, but I dig the storyline that Rhea put her out for 6 months last year and Liv actually gets revenge.

Yeah, this ironically is going to end up being a boost for the division since they clearly didn't want Rhea to mow everyone down during her run so it seemed like all the other women disappeared.

WWE. Now. Then. Forever.

I don't get Noam Dar. It's not like he's bad but he's pushed like some charismatic guy and his crew is way more interesting than he is.

Tony D is the protector of women everywhere. Canonically, he offed Gulak for the good of the industry.

That's such an odd series of events too. Not that anyone should be harassed at work, but of all people he decides to fuck with the Olympic medalist judoka and MMA legend? That's like climbing into a lion enclosure and slapping one in the face. I would imagine that was also the impetus for her going off on WWE in light of the Vince stuff breaking.

I'm actually kind of shocked they had Rhea vacate the title if there's actually a chance she's only out for ~3 months. You could easily smoke & mirrors your way through that without a proper defense.

When you’ve had the title for over a year it’s tough to just go into no-match mode.

I actually had some sympathy for Rousey at first, but the last couple of interviews I have seen/read with her have been getting perilously close to tinfoil hat territory. She seems borderline obsessed with talking about Bruce Prichard for some reason. She also keeps conflating her unhappiness with the sexist culture in WWE with unhappiness about the way she was booked.

Maybe I am just predisposed to not liking her because she is a terrible human being who is an Alex Jones, Sandy Hook denying type. I couldn’t stand her long before she even got to WWE. I don’t think she helps Vince’s actual victims much, to be honest.

She's 100% an awful person, but both things can be true at the same time that she is a trash pile and got harassed at work. Apparently there was truth to her claims since WWE investigated and then the Family put a hit on him.
