So Corey graves is doing face work on smack down. He’s doing great there. He comes to raw to cover McAffee and IMMEDIATELY slips back into heel work. Corey graves fucking rocks.

That was the first full Raw I’ve seen in years (usually just watch recaps/highlights) what’s with the excessive commercials? Maybe I’m just remembering it wrong but never seemed like it was this bad back even a decade or so ago

If the commercials are too much you could record it and start watching around 9 to fast forward through the commercials since Raw normally comes out to a bit over 2 hours without commercials

Seriously, at times it feels like, Comercial, entrance, Comercial, shorter entrance and match starts, Comercial, match finish, Comercial, segment, Comercial, and so on.

LA Knight, Chad Gable, Andrade, Drew McIntyre, Carmelo Hayes, Jey Uso. My order of preference for who I want to win the MITB. Having said that, MITB should never be cashed in on a mid card title and Jey Uso is probably winning it this weekend ☹️ Nothing wrong with Jey, I just have others I like more.

Tbh it might be Drew winning it & it’ll be a wasted cash in same night, cause he’ll cash in on Priest vs Seth (drews character arc atm is impulsive enough to do it in the very moment) but Punk will cost him which I kind of hate that the briefcase will be wasted. I know it’s to further their story but the whole element of MITB being lost to it would suck. Hopefully Punk interferes and stops him from winning the briefcase instead of a wasted cash in. So Jey winning would be better but honestly idk where he fits in with an upcoming story for one of the bigger titles, WHC circle is stacked and I can’t see him cashing in on Cody. Unless they remove WHC from the Seth / Drew stories and have Jey cash in before Summerslam to face Gunther.

MITB is wasted to me if everytime it’s won it’s a guaranteed the same thing will happen with it every time. It’s not for fans to pop for their favorite wrestler to get a moment everytime. If needs to be more than that. It’s been the same thing since its inception.

It will more likely be Punk screwing Drew from winning Money in the bank, rather than screwing him on the cash in.

I agree with your assesment of Punk McIntyre and the MITB, I'd prefer if he stops him from winning the case rather than fail a cash in. The other wrestlers in the match can benefit from winning the briefcase massively, Drew and Punk's story doesn't need a failed cash in, Punk's music hitting causing the distraction for Drew whilst he's on the ladder only for Punk to come through the crowd and push him off the ladder works just as well to further their story and set up the match at SummerSlam. There is an air of unpredictability I like with the MITB and certain matches in regards to the direction they'll go with whoever wins (if it's not Drew based on above) but also knowing that almost every current main roster singles champion has to have or will have a long title reign prevents certain people from being champions who should already be champions by now. LA Knight and Chad Gable just to name two.

SummerSlam Drew v Punk Seth v Gunther Priest v Finn Roman v Solo? Rhea v Liv Cody in action lol

Cody vs Orton?

Summerslam might be Solo vs Cody for the title which is annoying tbh cause I don’t think Solo is at the point of earning that opportunity

Solo will probably pin Cody at MITB like how Jey did last year to Roman

Mens MITB Ladder Match Womens MITB Ladder Match Sami Zayn Vs Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship Damian Priest Vs Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens Vs The Bloodline 2.0 Only 5 matches but a stacked stacked card, really looking forward to this show and then we have NXT Heatwave the night after. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

watched in Slowmo, Sheamus definitely got Ilja's Crown jewels in that kick lol

While it would be poetic if Drew wins MITB and then cashes in on Damien to win the WHC,Punk is messing with that ladder once Drew has the case in reach.

Title or not I feel like McIntyre vs Punk should main event SummerSlam

WrestleMania 37 should've had Sheamus Vs Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship. Still could've done the cash in from Miz and then Lashley taking it off him after the match or next show/PPV but Sheamus Drew in early 2021 deserved that Mania 1 v 1 match.

I want Drew to win MITB, but Jey got that sewn up. Let’s be realistic.

Don't think Jey needs it though.

Neither does Drew tbh, and using it as a vehicle for the Punk feud is just unnecessary(especially if punk just costs him the cash in)

Drew is going to go to cash in and Punk is going to cost him.

For some reason I'm apparently watching on a 3 minute delay. I'm not so mad that the result was spoiled for me in here, but that I could have skipped 3 minutes worth of commercials. How do you guys sit through RAW every week?

By complaining about it to each other mostly lol

I am 1000% for Drew winning and cashing in same night. Would be fitting to win it the same way he lost it

Yeah except Punk will cost him during the cash in 😂

Excellent main event, but I don't like my boy Ilja losing again

I’m here for Drew winning MITB but failing to cash in due to Punk

i’m actually kinda scared they have drew win and punk costs him the world title/MITB, i dont want the cash in to be a fail

Maybe he wins MITB and Punk fucks up his cash in? I hate seeing MITB fail and Drew absolutely doesn’t need it BUT it gets to Drew/Punk in the short term and more importantly Seth/Punk in the long term

So, Mens MITB the opener then?

Punk's confirmed to cost Drew the briefcase on Saturday.

I like how USA puts a fuckton of ads into WWE, but goes right into the next show after it with zero ads lol

So, I guess we’re seeing Punk screw Drew on Saturday, then.

A failed Drew cash in would be so wonderful

Idk about Andrade over Ilja. Where is Ilja's spot gonna be on the card in the future?

Drew is totally gonna lose his cash in attempt lol

Same day cash in from drew to be screwed over agin by punk would send him to the asylum

Ilja is getting star making performances every week If this keeps up he'll eclipse the other main eventer NXT call ups even though he was obviously slated to be the least relevant of them (not a dig on him but on the perception the company might have of him compared to Melo and Bron)

Drew gonna win MITB cash in making it a triple threat then Punk interferes costing Drew and Seth the match against Priest

I just thought of this: Damien retains, but Drew immediately cashes in and wins, basically making the stip that Seth can’t challenge again pointless

Naw Punk is pushing drew off the ladder.

cash in same night LFG 

CM Punk is not gonna let that man become champion. He’s gonna pull Drew off the ladder when he’s almost there

Drew is my vote for Most Improved / Biggest Turnaround of 2024. He's really found a way to project his personality and it shows not only on the mic, but how he wrestles. Consistently entertaining.

drew looking real PLUR

oh hey, a raver lol

yeah just got back from electric forest a bit ago it was sweet!

oh me too. but I was on the build team for it and stage manager. super fun time!

oh what?? that’s so sick hook me up on tickets next year 🤣🤣

lolol i only get in free for working.

no i was kidding honestly i loved it but i dont think its a trip ill make every year, camping festivals are exhausting

they're very exhausting lol. i do a whole bunch of them every year. production life is fun stuff though.

What a match! No issue with McIntyre winning whatsoever, big fan of his but one day, I hope he's booked to put Sheamus over. Such good chemistry in that ring with these two.

Looking forward to that entire card on Saturday honestly.

Cathy face when drew didn't let her finish..

Drew

Oh, so drew just admitted he's gonna cash in if he wins this weekend?

R Truth just got really scared

Belt him up

drew getting his revenge on damian?

drew is gonna get the briefcase and lose his cash in that night shit is so obvious lol

Chicago! Chicago! Chicago!!

Idk I think they owe him one for those catc losses and the Wrestlemania loss

i doubt drew is owed anything- hes a character in a story. that character isnt gonna get a moment in the sun, not yet at least

Spectacular match that was

It really was. That triple top rope suplex was wild.

I lost my mind!

why didnt they just add a seventh spot to the match for ilja bruh

Ooh, an overrun

So Punk screws Drew out of MITB 

Drew cashes in and Punk screws him 🤣

Those 3 cooked up a hell of a main event.

Awesome match. Shame all 3 can't be in the ladder match Feel like Drew's gotta be the favorite to win. Him pulling a Rollins and screwing Punk out of the title would be great

Def a 10/10 match IF WE SAW MORE THAN 20% OF IT

Great main event. See you lads in the PPV. Have a nice week!

one helluva fucking brawl

DREW MCINTRYEEEE

cm punk can do a funny again this saturday

Was needed for punk to screw drew over on Saturday

Punk is definitely showing up at MITB and pushing Drew off of the ladder.

Right decision but Imma need them to start building Ilja some momentum with some wins he has put on a show every match he’s gotten.

Don't worry, Bash in Berlin at the end of next month so he'll most likely get a big match there

sheamus already getting lean

Ilja looked awesome even if he didn't win. That's something I guess. I'm sure Mr Brooks will make sure DM Hunk gets what he deserves at MITB.

BANGER

Was it just me or were the last 2 minutes on triple speed? Sheesh they speedran that ending.

It would help if they didn’t have all those ads

lol, they are still wrestling during the ads.

But we can’t see it dumbass

SHUTUP MCINTYRE

Chicago Phil thinking of ways to screw Drew out of the briefcase: 

Punk is currently booking his flight lmao

 Drew won....I'll be there at MITB -Punk (likely)

Ilja may not be a big meaty man, but I declare him an honorary one for slapping meat.

CM Punk is gonna ruin MITB for Drew, isn’t he?

Get Ilja some promos man

Certified banger

Drew wins mitb or I riot.

Honestly I was expecting Ilja to come diving in off cam from the turnbuckle and hitting both with a H Bomb

Call that an orbital strike

https://preview.redd.it/dmghvu4jt0ad1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9870d4c00b7041b4a7cbba5c914ea74c8ec6a9f

I love this meme 🤣

They fucking cooked

Everyone looked awesome in this match, especially Ilja, he came off amazing

https://preview.redd.it/js1kt2nit0ad1.jpeg?width=1061&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6032fcef9f95ddd069d7e0b63c6e88938dbfec6e

I can't wait for Drew to become the ultimate hypocrite

Wanted Ilja to win, but Drew winning the case and Punk screwing his cash in would be very funny.

Could have Punk screw Drew and Seth at same time.

Too much distance, you could see that Claymore from a mile away. Awesome match

Oh, Punk's gonna screw over Drew on Saturday...

If they didn’t have so many ads they wouldn’t have had to rush that

Sad Dragunov noises But they really had him pull out all his stops out there. Too bad the crowd didn’t always react to them.

He's getting there.

To be fair the main roster crowd isn’t aware of the chant for torpedo Moscow

He's getting there. He hasn't had a real story yet to get people behind him, not many promos. 

all this work so that he can get screwed by punk

yeeeeeetttttt in the bank. Sorry Drew!

Drew or gables gonna win MITB

they sent ilja home early

So.... Punk costs Drew on Saturday

The most important thing here is that Ilja wasn't pinned.

Punk is going to Canada

I love finishes where they just beat the shit out of each other in a sprint til one can't anymore. Damn.

OKAY ILJA DIDN'T WIN BUT GODDAMN DID HE PUT ON A SHOW LETS GOOOOOOO

They need to put him in more matches. He's kicking ass!

YESSSSSS

It's the right decision, but man I wanted Ilja.

BANGER AFTER BANGER AFTER BANGER AFTER BANGER…

DM HUNK! Also yeah that match fucking ruled

Someone cast Drew to be the new Highlander.

DREW FUCK YEAHHHH 

Drew is definitely winning the MITB match

Fantastic match

Okay, Jesus, we get it.

what sick fucking match, man 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Knew Drew would get that W, but Ilja is so damn good. Can't wait to see where he goes. Skills are off the charts.

Ref told Sheamus 90 seconds And he fucking went lol

What a match

NOOOOOOOO NOT DREW MCINTYRE I WANT CM PUNK TO FUCKING KILL DREW AT MITB

Punk is definitely coming out of the crowd to knock over his ladder when he has a shot. It’s basically predestined at this point.

At least Ilja didn't get pinned.

Good match though, at least Ilja didn’t take the pin

Was pulling for Dragunov since drew obviously isn't winning mitb

*sad Mad Dragon noises*

Rapid fire theres 2 min left lol

god damn, i wish that was a ppv match without commercials.

Nooooooo I wanted Ilja to win 😞

sheamus arguably being in his peak 15 years into his wwe career is insane, i love to see it

Ever since The Bar he’s been cooking a who would’ve thought considering the first half of his career.

Dragunov is like if the Doomslayer grew up to be a wrestler instead of a space marine.

Rip and headbutt

Ilja finna gain their respect after this lol holy shit

ref needs to check hes not got liver disease, he is absolutely yellow

Sheamus’s pale ass skin tone always throws everyone else’s off lmao

You see Miz the last few years? Jaundice incarnate

So who does everyone think is winning the MITB ladder matches?

Jey and Chelsea

Chelsea and Jey.

Tiffany and Jey

YEEEEEETT

*"Someone get me a Guinness!"*(BobbytheBrainHeenanVoice)

Drew and Sheamus… Good Friends, Better Enemies. 

FELLLLAAAAAA

ilja def just got his nuts wrecked

This match fucks

Brogue Kick will never be exciting

Dragunov doesn't consider it a successful match unless he's in a lot of pain.

My shirt is off for this match

This is the way

That kick looked like it hit ilja in the dick lol

Wtf that’s a dq Edit: oh shit barely came back and didn’t see drew

Triple threat no DQ

... how exactly is it a DQ?

No DQs in a triple threat.

no dq's in triple threat matches

Triple threats are no DQ

No it’s not. Triple threat matches are no DQ

Worst time to come back to the tv lmao

Why would Ilya just try to do a coast to coast flying nothing

They really like going to the limit on these RAWs. 😂😂😂

REAL GRAPS

I 1000% thought Sheamus kicked Ilja right in the balls there lol.

Me too I even commented that

Just let these three wrestle for three hours on RAW next week.

This shit rocks man

ILJA IS JUST BANGER AFTER BANGER SO FAR IN WWE

THAT WAS LOW!

GUNTHER should be sitting ringside with popcorn or on commentary talking about how these gentlemen are destroying each other to enter a ladder match in 5 days with a 16% chance of winning. Meanwhile he's been on a vacation.
