OOfficial Discussion Thread for: RAW (June 5, 2017)
Tonight on RAW: the big spotlight goes on Samoa Joe, as WWE knows they can count on fans like US to be on-board for Joe/Brock, but will
probably have to do a bit more work to make that a sexy match-up for fans' like Roman Reigns' True Believers....
With Paul Heyman also on hand tonight, I would fully expect some verbal sparring between those two, when Heyman interrupts Joe's gloating....
also, in order to underscore Joe's bona fides inside the ring, a win in an anchor match tonight is all but necessary.... based on last
night's match Joe could reasonably find himself challenged by pretty much every other guy who participated... (1) Joe and Bray's Alliance
led to much early domination, but that all went downhill fast, so Bray may have some issues... (2) Finn Balor was easily the rock star of the match,
getting the late Glory Spot, but then also being the one to eat the finish (tapping out to Joe)... and (3&4) Rollins and Reigns THOUGHT they were
battling it out in the very end, after they'd cleared the ring; but at the last second, Joe swooped in and took advantage the moment they were
both down...
Personally, Joe vs. Finn would be a great main event tonight, if you ask me (especially with the subtext that Finn is the contender that Heyman
favored).... but nobody did.... also, once you get a one-off out of the way tonight, all signs point towards Finn vs. Bray as the longer term play for
Balor, so keep an eye out for that...
New IC Champ is Miz, so a self-congratulatory MizTV is all but certain.... Dean Ambrose has plenty to complain about, in terms of Miz's shady
win, so a rematch is inevitable at some point.... it may come sooner than later, if rumors are true that Ambrose is gonna pass off IC duties to his
pal Roman (Ambrose, then, seems like he might get Drifter Duty)...
New tag champs in Cesaro and Sheamus.... and again, the ex-champs have their obligatory rematch... what's gonna be more interesting is seeing
if/how the Hardys characters are changed after their very first loss, fully 2 months after they returned to WWE... they played it as if it was still
2001 those 2 months, but clearly, that is not the case...
Alexa Bliss retained the Women's Title, and WWE has her next chapter already built-in, as Bliss made half-assed promises to Nia Jax that she
could have a title shot, in exchange for Nia's help in a few matches.... last night, Nia appeared for an interview in which she clearly
remembered those promises... Alexa trying to connive her way outta this one should be jolly good fun....
A fresh story just taking shape is Big Cass' "search for the real attacker," in which he is being oddly sensitive about the truth getting out
about how beat up Enzo.... what seemed like a straight forward "It was Titus and/or Apollo," then turned into "It's a minor swerve to make us
THINK it was Titus/Apollo, but it was really the Revival," has now ruled out all 4 of those guys, and morphed into a possibility that Cass himself
did it, and he's trying to keep everybody off the scent.... we shall see...
Goldust vs. R-Truth should also be kicking into a fresh gear sooner than later.... Apollo's forced partnership with Titus is at a "shit or get
off the pot" crossroads; either they need to have their breakthrough epiphany of success, or Apollo needs to stand up to Titus, only to have Titus
reveal a different project/puppet.... and if the Revival aren't getting Enzo/Cass, they're still gonna need SOMEbody to beat up
convincingly, now that they're more or less ready to go; looking at the RAW roster, this seems like a job for Rhyno and Slater....
Neville's still the CW champ, and that should be the end of Aries as a challenger, but I don't expect a huge swerve or reveal on RAW, as
WWE tends to keep new #1 Contenders and such a matter for "205 Live"....
That is all. End communication.
The flOOr is yours, OO Nation. Don't wait till after 11pm to post, either. Pre-show previewing and prognosticating is certainly welcome.
So discuss, debate, and rate!

I'm surprised there wasn't a "pal" at the end of Maggle's pronouncement that it was a "thunderous response" when Roman appeared.
"Awesome".
Jesus, Bray is huge next to Reigns. 
ETA: Quite a good hossfest. Those two work well together. Also, boo.

If nothing else it's good to see Bray still front and centre in the main event picture, even if he probably isn't going to win a big belt
again anytime soon. After HOH they could have just as likely opted to bury him in the midcard or make him part of some kind of goof act and
essentially make him take the fall for that debacle.
You know, everyone says it's not supposed to make sense, like that's the whole point, dude. And I'm just saying, you know,
that's like an excuse for lazy storytelling. Just don't sell me shite and tell me it's gold, all right? I might be stoned, but
I'm not high. You know what I mean?

Well, this doesn't bode well for their continued existence as a tag team!
Edit: Thanks, WWE, for taking a cheap shot at that segment from last week. I was completely sure they'd just somehow manage to go through with
another anyway.

Those backstage interview segments with...Female...work really well when she offers little to no reaction when people attempt to interact with her.
Did Corey just say "kendo dick shots"? Bueno. Muy bueno.

Is that what he said? I noticed the flub, but only as far as he had to correct himself. I was thinking he'd just left out "stick" and decided
to redo it.

Kinda heard that and then he immediately giggled and corrected himself so I'm going to go ahead and say yes to "dick".
ETA: Holy shit that was awesome! Thought it a fair promo battle, nothing really earth-shattering, but then they did the 'let's talk
intimately up close up without mics' routine and Joe went straight psycho. GOLLY!

Holy shit that was the best Samoa Joe segment since he came to RAM. He's a sick bastard. Love it. Finishing it with "SO DO I!" to the "we
want Lesnar" chants was gold.

I said yes to dick so I guess I gotta make the sammiches now.
ETA: Huh. Ain't had heel announcer shenanigans in a while. Corey switching to manager or something? He healed up? Whatever it is, I'm gay

Remember to cut the crusts off those things, the way your people usually do. (By "your people" I mean Floridians.) So there was going to be some
kind of This is My Own Life, Alexa? Or Kurt cancelled that? Or? I was distracted, and a little bit afraid of what I had heard..

gets crunk, drink until your organs fail.

The Mystery of the Jersey Shore Necklace? 
Last week is now "a few weeks ago"? That's like when someone on a soap opera has a baby and a year later they've accelerated the kid
forward into being an obnoxious angry teen ager.

Bonsoir Marysemoiselle, now let's see that dick.
In real news, loving the throughline storyline RAM with interconnected vignettes. So is Cass setting Enzo up or...?

Cass and Enzo are both being framed.
I have no idea by who, or why, but it would be a helluva twist.

To catch up:
1) I forgot Dana Brooke was a thing. I AM SO SORRY DANA BROOKE.
2) After Miz attacked The Bear (WWE is missing out if they don't bring back Adam Rose's The Rabbit to feud with The Bear for no reason),
why didn't Maryse inform Miz that the gift box had a clock in it until well after he smashed the hell out of it?
3) Miz apparently inherited some other stuff from Flair other than the Figure Four. Allow us to enter gladly into the glorious new era of Miz Elbow
Dropping Various Things.
4) Can someone let Kalisto actually do stuff? Sometime? Please? I'm assuming he's capable of it.
You did it, Nibbles. Now chew through my ball sack.

I woulda marked if the bear turned out to be Adam Rose.

Dana Brooke accepts your apologies. She's a very kind little goddess. Just don't let it happen again, or she will burst you like
balloon.
The last time Kalisto almost did something, Dana burst him like balloon. Kalisto is content in his current position.

Oh man! Can't wait for next week on RAM! Heyman coming out with the remains of Yvon Cormier will be AWESOME.
Why yes, I did immediately have to Google up some other professional wrestler that had "The Beast" as a name! Why WOULDN'T I?

I think I have a whole lot of no-feelings about that show? Just sort of there? I can't think of anything I hated with my entire janerdself,
and I don't even remember most of what happened and it just barely finished. Oh, right, Joe got Heidenrichy with Pauly Walrus. Other than
that..
Accurate, or did I really miss something?
