[Kalmado]

I REALLY want to see Minoru "aka Satan" Suzuki vs. Toru Yano.

[Krandor]

Wow can't believe they put Okada and Omega in the same block. I'd have to imagine Kenny finally picks up a W there.

I can't wait to see what the Fale vs ZSJ match looks like.

[Delirium]

Omega and Ibushi in different blocks. My dream of an Omega/Ibushi final is still a possibility!

[Delirium]

Jim Ross and Lita will be calling the women's tournament for WWE.

[Krandor]

Just about half way into it and it's great so far.

I was thinking the blocks were getting announced during tomorrow's show, so that caught me off guard when the intermission came on.

I think there's some really good balance in these. Mildly surprised by Okada/Omega and Tana/Naito being in the same blocks, but I have no problem with it. When they first started announcing, I was like "this sounds a lot like the A Block last year!" but I think there's a good mix of new matchups and repeat ones that are interesting on both sides.

One match which is not too high profile that I'm really looking forward to is Juice/Suzuki. Hell, I'm really looking forward to see Juice's whole run here.

Spoiler: show

Lonzo and Lavar will both be guests for MizTV

[Kalmado]

Didn't realize how tall he was. While I feel he should step back running his mouth, I think it's awesome he's in a way trying to be close to his kids.

[Vil]

Can't wait til the ratings spike (and dive after his segment) encourages Vince to bring back the Guest Host crap, since obviously celebs are what everyone wants!

[Delirium]

Welp, definitely not watching Raw now. I need to catch up on NJPW anyway.

[Xno Kappa]

Is that Shawn Merriman in the crowd lol?

Does streaming RAW count towards ratings?! OH WELL. Watching and Roman looking dumb as fuck per usual.

[Krandor]

I'm so glad Braun is back

[Xno Kappa]

Holy shit! That was almost a Rey mysterio dart to the trailer type throw lmao. Braun has to be the most cleverly booked guy in years lol. He's fucking awesome.

Braun is our spirit animals.

[Vil]

It's incredible that WWE haven't managed to ruin Braun yet. For all the shit booking they do, they've kept with what works with this guy.

[Xno Kappa]

I'm loving the interaction between Heyman and Joe lol.

Yoooooooooo Kurt Angle looks like he had a relapse and is back hopped on pills and booze. As an alcoholic, I recognize that glazed over look anywhere.
