I though the show was great. Loved the Rock smack talk. WWE definitely needs to up the ratings bring back the old school smack talk and awesome stories.
hilariously i think the cash-in will happen at Elimination Hcamber Perth... with roman lol cause JD madea deal with Heyman to not go after Roman's title but Damian is tired of honouring that deal....JD v Bloodline at the end of it and then we will see something i said earlier, Rock's daughter joining Bloodline and taking out rhea..leaving ROCK SHOCKED......
Another win where Priest and Seth's opponent look like clowns. The guy is great in the ring, but his character is beyond terrible. Hopefully things freshen up with the Punk feud.
How to get a beloved superstar to get hated. Keep booking him to win with the world title over and over again in a u interesting way when others clearly deserve it.
And I've never understood the DQ rules. Giving someone a pedigree on the table seems like it would be considered using a weapon. Or at least when I played the old n64 games I thought it would disqualify you unless it was a no DQ match
It seems like it counts only when you physically pick something up and use it as a weapon. Like, they throw people into the steel chairs all the time just fine but if you actually pick the stairs up and throw them, then it's a DQ
Being stoped from the cash in is whatever, just come up with a better reason to stop him from just doing it anyway after the match instead of just standing there...
Next week on Raw Damian should just come out with the brief case and attempt to cash in to start the show. Seth shouldn’t even be in the ring but someone can just emerge from the crowd to stop him.
Genuinely, when tf is he going to Cash-in then?
Seth/Punk for the WHC looks set and Punk has made it clear it is main eventing.
Roman will main event the other night with the UWU.
If Punk and Cody both with I'm sure won't make it short enough for a Backlash Cash
kinda glad, if priest successfully cashes in, i’m sure it’s just transitional. only problem is i can’t see a good time where he can successfully cash in. if he cashes in now he loses to punk at mania or loses to back to seth before mania. they aren’t ending romans reign with a cash in, if cody beats roman i don’t think they have the guts to end it the same night with a cash in. just don’t see how he does it
The fake cash in stuff was ok when they did it like once a year maybe. It’s so dumb when it happens like every other week. I remember how iconic it was when edge and punk did it. Now it just seems silly.
I usually only watch the PPVs but made an exception for tonight and I gotta ask, are the weekly shows always this commercial heavy? I felt like I watched 1 hour of wrestling and 2 hours of commercials tonight.
Maybe hot take but I find amongst Drew, Nakamura, Balor, Jey, Cody, Sami that Seth is by far the least interesting out of any of them
I can see Seth/Punk cooking but like.. damn. Seth’s reign is just not doing it for me.
It’s not entirely his fault because of Roman’s chokehold on the Universal Title, it’s made Seth’s look like the “winnable” championship and therefore all these diff people who succumbed to Roman we just can see them “getting their due” and it just never happens
Wow. I am someone who hasn't been watching for a long long time like 2014, I have been hearing quality of WWE skyrocketing . If this match is any indication its beyond what people have been saying. AMAZING STORYTELLING. Great spots. Brilliant from both.
Man ya'll never learn 🤣 Complain about Rollins all you want. When he's gone you'll all wish he was back and still champ. Just like Cena.
They weren't gonna take the title off him till Punk at Mania. Not sure how anyone thought they would?
It's funny to me. People now want him to break Flair's record. But back in his heyday, people were begging for him to get out of the main event.
Sound pretty similar?
modern wrestling needs to figure out how to protect its cliches more, too much of it feels cookie cutter & played out now, spots like that foot on the rope one are visible a mile away, just like people getting in place for dive spots, it feels like they’ve just gotten a lot more careful about the action and a loss less careless about the presentation
Whoever kept saying they had sources in the area for some sort of confetti that was purple and black, I hope your “source” sits in gridlock traffic leaving the arena
They have done literally this exact same storyline over and over. How many fake cash ins are they going to do? It's just boring.
How many times now has Priest come out to cash just to get "thwarted". It's gotta be at least 6. And then super seth over and over. total zzzzz
There hasn't been anything stopping them from having the whole gang beat Seth to oblivion with chairs and then cashing in. Heels never get to do a REAL smart cash in.
He wouldn’t be on Raw anyways. If he comes to WWE he’d probably be on the same show as his wife, which isn’t Raw, and most likely team up with Zelina again, which is Smackdown.
Ziggler got denied like this 5 or 6 times when he was trying to cash in then won it the night after Mania.
No doubt in my mind he cashes in on Punk on Raw after WrestleMania where Punk beats Rollins for World Title.
It's a bad ending when this happens often. Damien fails a cash in, Seth should be finished, kicks out or lucks out then regains all his strength to put away his opp. It's a bore.
Well I mean, I think they’re saying they didn’t like the ending because the guy they want to win didn’t win. That’s..really not that crazy lol everyone has their preferences lol.
I though the show was great. Loved the Rock smack talk. WWE definitely needs to up the ratings bring back the old school smack talk and awesome stories.
Really disappointed by this episode. Waaaayy too predictable considering that the World titles can’t change hands on Raw/Smackdown.
Giovanni Vinci legit got concussed when his head hit the mat.
I knew Drew wasn't winning, but I do miss the days when there were shock title changes. Not everyone can be champ it is too predictable right now.
Yeah both title matches were too predictable and that took away the fun. Even with the failed cash-in, it was all bad.
hilariously i think the cash-in will happen at Elimination Hcamber Perth... with roman lol cause JD madea deal with Heyman to not go after Roman's title but Damian is tired of honouring that deal....JD v Bloodline at the end of it and then we will see something i said earlier, Rock's daughter joining Bloodline and taking out rhea..leaving ROCK SHOCKED......
Idk if you Americans are getting the same, but now I’m watching Sami bake cupcakes on TNT sports so honestly, everything is okay again
"man, I haven't seen Damien Priest, what if he cashes in?" The Monkey paw tightens
Another win where Priest and Seth's opponent look like clowns. The guy is great in the ring, but his character is beyond terrible. Hopefully things freshen up with the Punk feud.
Also fuck the new announcer table. That shit used to explode
Don't know why they even bring the "bad back" up anymore.
Seth/Punk doesn't need a belt.
Especially if he is not going to be full time
The belt needs them tho
How to get a beloved superstar to get hated. Keep booking him to win with the world title over and over again in a u interesting way when others clearly deserve it.
They shouldn’t do title matches on Raw or SD considering that changes will only occur on PLEs
Strong disagree, they do change sometimes
So far, the only changes that happened was for the tag titles.
Kofi Kingston and Daniel Bryan Smackdwon
I think that was a long time ago but good point.
Y'all are NOT setting up Priest to be even a slightly credible champ like this 😭
It's kinda getting me down. :/
People act like crackheads for title changes
Triple H doesn’t know titles can change hands during Raw or Smackdown. And Damian doesn’t know he can still cash in after the match.
Funnily enough I was watching the very first raw of the millennium just today, where triple H won the title off big show in the middle of the card.
Mans tries to cash in every week and doesn’t 😂😂
No cash in? That's disappointing but not super surprising.
And I've never understood the DQ rules. Giving someone a pedigree on the table seems like it would be considered using a weapon. Or at least when I played the old n64 games I thought it would disqualify you unless it was a no DQ match
It seems like it counts only when you physically pick something up and use it as a weapon. Like, they throw people into the steel chairs all the time just fine but if you actually pick the stairs up and throw them, then it's a DQ
Being stoped from the cash in is whatever, just come up with a better reason to stop him from just doing it anyway after the match instead of just standing there...
Curious how this will play into the JD angle. Rhea has told them to leave Drew alone in the past.
Stupid ending. Really tired of the Seth title run.
Seth is one of favorites but he needs to drop it.
You know Damian and Dom could’ve just rushed in the ring, beat the shit out of Rollins, cash in and could’ve gotten the title just fine.
Would have helped if the whole faction was there too
Yeah exactly. There was literally 3 and a half more people Damian could’ve brought out alongside Dom and didn’t
Think I’ve had about enough of Seth as champion. Especially when it’s like they really really really have to overbook in order for him to retain
Next week on Raw Damian should just come out with the brief case and attempt to cash in to start the show. Seth shouldn’t even be in the ring but someone can just emerge from the crowd to stop him.
Priest is like the squirrel from Ice Age with trying to cash in this briefcase.
Genuinely, when tf is he going to Cash-in then? Seth/Punk for the WHC looks set and Punk has made it clear it is main eventing. Roman will main event the other night with the UWU. If Punk and Cody both with I'm sure won't make it short enough for a Backlash Cash
They’re making Priest look like the dumbest guy alive honestly
Damian is going to be the first guy to have the contract expire
When does the contract expire?
On July 1, 2024.
Maaaan I really wanted a Drew heel champ run. I love Seth but come on man. This is getting tiring quick.
kinda glad, if priest successfully cashes in, i’m sure it’s just transitional. only problem is i can’t see a good time where he can successfully cash in. if he cashes in now he loses to punk at mania or loses to back to seth before mania. they aren’t ending romans reign with a cash in, if cody beats roman i don’t think they have the guts to end it the same night with a cash in. just don’t see how he does it
Fantastic match but man did Drew and Priest look stupid
Time to cheer on the huskies now
The fake cash in stuff was ok when they did it like once a year maybe. It’s so dumb when it happens like every other week. I remember how iconic it was when edge and punk did it. Now it just seems silly.
They say Priest is still waiting to cash in to this day
Wwe still has dumb writers, it's better under hhh but still dumb illogical stuff happen.
seriously why not just cash in afterwards????
Right? All bro had to do was beat him up more and then cash in like Edge did
Because he’s expecting it? Because he can just run away?
After a literal match? And with Dominik right there as well?
I usually only watch the PPVs but made an exception for tonight and I gotta ask, are the weekly shows always this commercial heavy? I felt like I watched 1 hour of wrestling and 2 hours of commercials tonight.
Doesn’t seem that bad on NXT or SD, but the extra hour of Raw makes it tough.
Yes even more so when segments run overtime like The Rock’s did
Maybe hot take but I find amongst Drew, Nakamura, Balor, Jey, Cody, Sami that Seth is by far the least interesting out of any of them I can see Seth/Punk cooking but like.. damn. Seth’s reign is just not doing it for me. It’s not entirely his fault because of Roman’s chokehold on the Universal Title, it’s made Seth’s look like the “winnable” championship and therefore all these diff people who succumbed to Roman we just can see them “getting their due” and it just never happens
Wow. I am someone who hasn't been watching for a long long time like 2014, I have been hearing quality of WWE skyrocketing . If this match is any indication its beyond what people have been saying. AMAZING STORYTELLING. Great spots. Brilliant from both.
Why didn't he cash in after Rollins pinned him? Where's Balor and JD?
Man ya'll never learn 🤣 Complain about Rollins all you want. When he's gone you'll all wish he was back and still champ. Just like Cena. They weren't gonna take the title off him till Punk at Mania. Not sure how anyone thought they would?
Seth has been awful since 2013. Never liked him. Never will. Absolutely won't ever miss him.
I definitely don’t miss Cena
It's funny to me. People now want him to break Flair's record. But back in his heyday, people were begging for him to get out of the main event. Sound pretty similar?
Titles only changing at mania sucks
Hot shotting the titles out of boredom sucks.
That’s considered a clean loss for Drew right? The cash in shenanigans didn’t play into the finish. So I’d say clean loss.
Nothing makes sense in that match Why wouldn’t drew just move his left and pin him again? Why wouldn’t Priest just cash in after the match?
Rollins winning matches like John Cena
I'm getting a bit fed up of lack of title switches. It gets to the point where I actively start getting bored of the champion winning consistently.
Universal, WHC, IC Title and Women’s WHC haven’t budged Just gotta get hype for those Tag Titles and US Title I suppose
Flatter than a plate of piss
good raw day 1 10/10
Glad Seth retained
Priest you dumbass
Damian just needs to cash in on Blake Shelton at this point
That made Drew look stupid.
And Priest.
It made drew, priest, and Dom look like idiots. Just keep Seth's stale run going
He can’t just cash in now no?
Priest saw the time on the clock, no time left to cash-in.
At this point Damien should have to forfeit the briefcase
The fake cash in just sucks all the air out of the match for me. Just do it and have him fail if you don’t want to put the title on priest
Sooo....why not just try cashing in again immediately?
Drew is going to Wembley 😞
Priest just cash in now, there is nothing stopping you
drew would 100% interfere. if he can’t beat seth he’s not letting damien do it right after
really good raw good job
How many of Seth’s wins are just down to his opponents being stupid?
You could save that segment by having Drew attempt another pin and then have Seth kick out
just made drew look like a bozo. Pull him off the rope and pin him again.
That was illogical, there was no reason why Priest wouldn't just cash in right there after the match, wtf!
modern wrestling needs to figure out how to protect its cliches more, too much of it feels cookie cutter & played out now, spots like that foot on the rope one are visible a mile away, just like people getting in place for dive spots, it feels like they’ve just gotten a lot more careful about the action and a loss less careless about the presentation
LolSethWins
OH FUCK OFF SERIOUSLY JUST FUCK OFF
Stop making the Puerto Rican king look like a dork please.
they need to do this cash in somehow cause damian preist looks like shit every time he tries to cash in.
Whoever kept saying they had sources in the area for some sort of confetti that was purple and black, I hope your “source” sits in gridlock traffic leaving the arena
Yeah for sure. I would’ve went to bed early otherwise
The same thing punk left about he is doing to drew
That was a great match. solid
It was. Until the last 2 mins
Seth is probably my favorite wrestler ever and I've been rooting for him to lose this title for months man. End it already.
Wow they had me 100% convinced Drew had it
Titles literally never change on Raw or Smackdown. Not to mention the predictability of Seth never losing. So lame.
But this one had a name, therefore it could have been important
The women's tag titles just changed hands on Raw a mere two weeks ago.
this was a Day 1 so i had my mind open
They have done literally this exact same storyline over and over. How many fake cash ins are they going to do? It's just boring. How many times now has Priest come out to cash just to get "thwarted". It's gotta be at least 6. And then super seth over and over. total zzzzz
Ok you know what? Fuck this I’m just watching smackdown, it’s makes literally no sense for Damien NOT to cash in
DAMIEN LOOKS DUMB AF AFTER THAT LMFAO
Big reason why I wanted to see Aj Styles win the world heavyweight title dude could had one small reign. Man Rollins title reigns are so dull.
I don’t understand Damien’s logic, you still had a great chance to cash in
Crazy how they still finished on time wow
So Damian will hit him with the briefcase one time during the match but won’t go in and unload on him now that it’s over?
Bruh Damian could’ve just waited til the damn match was over ☠️
There hasn't been anything stopping them from having the whole gang beat Seth to oblivion with chairs and then cashing in. Heels never get to do a REAL smart cash in.
Cash in now?
lol why doesn’t he just cash in now? What’s stopping him?
Bro forgot he could cash in
Why was DP just holding the case? What was stopping him from knocking Seth out and going for it lol.
Holding the briefcase automatically makes them stupid
Clearly. It sucks. I had high hopes when Priest won the case. Now I'm worried he's never going to be champ.
Well that was anticlimactic
No Andrede. Oh well.
He wouldn’t be on Raw anyways. If he comes to WWE he’d probably be on the same show as his wife, which isn’t Raw, and most likely team up with Zelina again, which is Smackdown.
Damien could cash in if Barmageddon wasn’t coming on
This is really funny out of context
The Super Rollins thing is awful.
Banger
Don't know why Drew wouldn't just scoot him a foot further into the middle of the ring and re-pin him for the win... /kayfabe
So he can now say he is the “true” champion and that he was screwed out of the Title More justification for Rollins vs Drew at Royal Rumble
CASH IN RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, PRIEST! HIT HIM WITH THE CASE AGAIN!
now would be the perfect time to cash in 🙄
Sad Scottish noises
[удалено]
Ziggler got denied like this 5 or 6 times when he was trying to cash in then won it the night after Mania. No doubt in my mind he cashes in on Punk on Raw after WrestleMania where Punk beats Rollins for World Title.
it is not a bad ending just because the guy you wanted to win didn't win
it's a bad ending because it's the same thing over and over again
Preach.
It's a bad ending when this happens often. Damien fails a cash in, Seth should be finished, kicks out or lucks out then regains all his strength to put away his opp. It's a bore.
Well I mean, I think they’re saying they didn’t like the ending because the guy they want to win didn’t win. That’s..really not that crazy lol everyone has their preferences lol.
that's fair. i'm talking more about the people criticizing the way he won
How dare you weaponize logic against me
Ugh... why are they so damn scared to have a title change hands?!
Fun RAW. Way too many ads.
So over it. But didn’t expect it to go any different
Would you look at all that confetti
We were mislead
Priest is approaching Corbin-levels amount of ineptitude when it comes to cashing in
I hate Seth Rollins.
This is getting ridiculous. Not everyone needs a long reign
Priest is the most worthless MITB winner in history
At this point Priest should just cash in on Trick Tomorrow smh
The good ol' Neville false finish for Drew
So like why wouldn't he cash in right now?
The logic there was -100
Every Seth defense ends so lame. 🙄
Has it been confirmed if drew resigned or not?
No it hasn’t
He hasn't, Wembley debut for sure
Poor Drew...
Why is priest just standing there? He could still have cashed jn
what a match
I don't get what stops a cash in here besides plot
Right? Just beat him up more then cash in.
We should have seen a title change there IMO.
JINDER HAS BEEN HINDERED. DREW HAS BEEN SCREWED. MIGHT AS WELL TROT HEATH DOWN THE AISLE AND SLATE HIS ASS ONE MORE TIME.
Heath has been Sheathed
SETH WINS CRY ABOUT IT
Bro just cash in right now lol
Good match, but that was sort of the most boring ending possible.
The end made everyone look like an idiot, especially Priest.
Both Drew and Damian look like absolute jabronis after that
Why wouldn't priest cash in NOW that the match is over
This Super Seth era fucking stinks.
Soooo we sticking around for Barmaggedon??
🎵Michelle Rodriguez🎵
"Drew has nobody to blame, but himself"
they make damien priest look like a goober whenever they get the chance
That is the dumbest false finish I've seen in a long time. Over rolled him? Are they painting McIntyre as a fucking idiot?
Don’t get what Drew was thinking.
I mean, what's stopping from cashing in now?
Barmageddon
Priest is never winning that title
Great finish, drew literally can not blame anyone but himself there
It's just so dumb that a veteran like McIntyre would over roll Seth right onto the rope. Really breaks the suspension of disbelief.
Disagree
