Damn Joe is so good on the mic, he has been missed.

So Bray Wyatt is literally the same?
He's woken!
WONDERFUL!
I'm guessing Owens wins here and Zayn will disappear only for the long awaited return of El Generico.
Back to NXT for them!
Brothet Nero!
This was a fun Raw
The Woken Reunion was great.
OMFG Seth Rollins demanding beach balls lmao!!!
That was weird. Maybe I've just had different expectations of "Raw after Mania" the past couple years, and maybe it's because they have the shuffle, GRR, and another PPV in the next like 4 weeks. Raw was simply a well put together ~3 hours and that doesn't seem to happen too often anymore.
Seth, Balor, and Hardy are playing with an assload of beach balls right now lmao
You know, I hope DB and Shane feel stupid for running off two top stars considering there's the shuffle coming up. They would have been perfect to put on the trade block if they really wanted to be rid of them!
Lashley's return means that basically the entire main event scene from TNA in early 2016 is now employed by WWE. For all the jokes that TNA deserves, when they switched to Pop, the top of the card was pretty strong and had decent depth of reasonably credible enough people to rotate in and out of the title picture. The people going for the title were some combination of EC3, Lashley, Big Money Matt, Jeff Hardy, Drew Galloway, and Mike Bennett. Also involved with these people in some way were Eric Young and Rockstar Spud. Angle was doing his farewell tour, so faced some of them as well. Roode was still there, but I think he was mostly doing Beer Money stuff.
At the airport with Seth freaking Rollins
EDIT: Bray Wyatt and Jeff Hardy too.
EDIT2: lmao Rollins, Wyatt, Hardy, Kane, Strowman, Cesaro, Mickie James, And Alicia Fox all on my flight.
Meltzer says Brock's new WWE contract is a short term deal that also allows him to still fight in UFC. Roman wasn't lying, Brock is a hell of business man.
Roman saying "Vince didn't smarten me up" has got to be the dumbest line of the year so far.
Do the writers not know they write a show about professional wrestling? I can't think of any other TV show where a character looks at the camera and says "the guys writing the show didn't let me know what was going to happen in advance!" Imagine someone getting eaten by zombies on The Walking Dead showing up in the next episode saying "I showed up on the set and no one told me I was going to be eaten!"
If you want to call it the WWE Universe, you have to adhere to the idea that it is, in fact, its own universe, and in that universe these people are actually competing against one another in an athletic competition.
The writers are trash and have been 90% of the time. In this case, I'm kind of thinking the writers were trying to cater to the smarky post-Mania audience. Except that audience is smart enough to play along most of the time. The only exceptions are terribly written promos and awful matches.
Between Mania and Raw, I think WWE tried to get way to cute with a lot of their stuff especially involving Roman. They ended up overthinking things and they made terrible decisions.
I still can't believe that the people in the back conspired to give Roman another title shot. How dare they! That whole thing was nonsense, but I pretty much forgot about it once Joe arrived.
