It's interesting to note that it was Drew McIntyre who drove Sami into the arms of the Bloodline in the first place. Drew was terrorizing Sami for weeks causing Sami to approach Roman Reigns about a partnership in order to salvage some of his credibility. So Roman sent the Usos out to the Lumberjack match between Sami and Drew that night. Then Sami started following the Usos around and suggested the 'honorary Uso' title.
Drew is the wrestler of the year. Cody is the guy because he's supposed to be the guy. Gunther is good as well. However, Drew's came out of nowhere, and he's been absolutely fantastic in the ring and with promos.
A week ago I would have said Drew by a mile, but damned if Kofi and Xavier didn't make it close with that heel turn. It's still Drew, but the fact that it's even close is a testament to how good that New Day segment was.
One thing I really haven’t liked about the two-hour Raws has been the short match lengths. For example by the time Rhea and Raquel made their entrances last night there was only 15 minutes of the show left (a chunk of which was taken up by an ad break). It’ll be nice when Raw hits Netflix and isn’t locked to a consistent runtime every week, between that and the less rigid ad break structure they can give certain matches and segments more room to breathe without taking time away from others.
Is there any reason for Drew McIntyre and the New Day to join forces? If not, they should invent one, cuz man, that would be a wicked trio. ... It's going to be a Drew Day, yes it is.
Thought, fantasy booking, that just popped in my head is; What if Drew's future is a pseudo heel RAW faction of Drew/Kevin Owens (WWE Champ)/Seth to be in opposition of the OG Bloodline? Gunther goes to Smackdown with the World Heavyweight title a ready program with Cody waiting to be explored.
8:25 On the assumption that this was the first match of Rhea-Raquel feud (after Raquel's recent return); all of past week's hype leading towards the battle of "the two Alpha-females" as Wade said in the comms, did not need a stipulation. The match felt rushed. We did get all the weapon slinging and what not at the women's Wargames match. Rhea is the badass babyface, why was there for a slew of chairs prearranged in the ring by Rhea? She did get the big win at Survivor Series pinning Liv. Raquel could have been given a DQ win via some shenanigans (this was an episode of distraction after distraction anyways) to keep her momentum going. Her losing the match is also a hint that they won't be feuding in the near future.
8:43 I think more interferences are a downside of having more storylines interconnected. I’m happy with the trade-off, but the mid-match distractions should be more creative.
I'm surprising no one is thinking Rollins and Mc Intyre are working together. It's odd that twice Rollins left zayn for him to be attacked by Drew. They both hate punk and roman
Totally about Drew being a hater of the year. For me I will say the term Hot Takes is overrated as I feel it is good in some places but I have heard some strange ones where I go yeah they ain’t even hot.
Love the New Day but as far as the best tag team ever? Nah. Gimme the Road Warriors. Freebirds, Steiners, Rock N Roll Express, Midnight Express. Tully and Arn, Fantastics, Fabulous Ones, Sheepherders, British Bulldogs, Hart Foundation, etc.
Women's IC Title tournament should have been 1-on-1 matches. It fits the tradition of an IC title, and it should be slightly more prestigious than the US Title, for upper-midcarders
The thing about all the interferences is that so many people are involved in these storylines that it would often feel weird if there wasn't interference. I understand about it all feeling a bit much, but I think it might be the trade off that we have to accept with the way Triple H gets so many more people involved. Heels are gonna want to play dirty, babyfaces will always have to respond. There's not a compelling reason for any of the people who interfered to not do that imo.
Shamus is Drew's friend. Probably not gonna team up, but he still has at least one friend Was probably a good spot for Bronson to fill before he got hurt
Drew doesn't have any friends...if only Bron wasn't busy with the Sheamus/Ludwig IC feud. Drew/Bron vs Sami/Jey could be pretty interesting as Bron feuded with Sami and Jey over the IC title.
CM Punk and Rollins needs more. Seth being sorta mad the Punk walked out like 11 years ago and Punk not really caring how Seth feels just isn't that interesting... or even that big of a deal. It's not even a feud really, they're both just kind of a little annoyed at one another. I don't know, man.
Could be jimmy if jey wants to be more singles jey reed sounds really cool when ozilla is healed up and have him outside the bloodline story and only come in when they do the big matches or have a full faction fued and he focuses on his own stuff that could be pulled in or cooled off by the rest of the og
Considering how long they were able to stretch out Drew and Punk, stretching Rollins/Punk to Mania seems pretty easy. Just sucks that Rollins will take the L in that feud, because Rollins seems destined to be the best paid jobber in WWE. Always the bride's maid, never the Bride, even though the dude carried the company for a solid decade.
Drew McIntyre vs Sami doesent work because drew is a bruiser and Sami is a cruiser… ya don’t get the bonus to get a good match rating!! 😂😂 my gm mode is frustrating!!
"No one is going to do anything within the next three weeks that's going to top this." Oh well. So much for Saturday Night's Main Event, Winter Is Coming, Worlds End, Final Battle, the Continental Classic, and Final Resolution. Not to mention the dozens of hours of weekly television programing and social media promos between now and December 31st. 🤷♂🤷♂📆🤼♂🚫

Like the deep thinking friend
I would never have picked up on that.

...
It's going to be a Drew Day, yes it is.
☝️YES YES YES☝️
Imagine the heat when they call him Big 'D'.
Sami and the USOs vs Drew Day
Clear Bloodline history with all of them
Drew/Seth/KO supergroup. The Anti-Bloodline
That would be crazy

What If Big E is secretly cleared. Woods and Kofi are both in the ring at the Royal Rumble and Big E is a surprise entrant to eliminate them both.
That would kind of contradict his character though. He’s heartbroken, not angry
@jaimisonmante5250 true but in wrestling that's how you fix it. Hogan was heartbroken when Andre turned on him and that's what led to Wrestlemania 3.

Where the link to vote??
The MVP of Raw. Everything went through him this year and he more than held up his end of the bargain with Punk.
Totally about Drew being a hater of the year. For me I will say the term Hot Takes is overrated as I feel it is good in some places but I have heard some strange ones where I go yeah they ain’t even hot.

What about the best of the current millennium?
Women's IC Title tournament should have been 1-on-1 matches. It fits the tradition of an IC title, and it should be slightly more prestigious than the US Title, for upper-midcarders
Simon Miller's beard in these thumbnails. Player hater of the year. Everyone get a scornful gaze.

Wade Barrett as well
Drew doesn't have any friends...if only Bron wasn't busy with the Sheamus/Ludwig IC feud. Drew/Bron vs Sami/Jey could be pretty interesting as Bron feuded with Sami and Jey over the IC title.
Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens is slowly forming the Dark Avengers
Am I the only 1 that doesn't see the Google form to vote?
Same here. If someone finds it, could you post it as an reply here, so that we could vote too, please. Thanks in advance. ❤❤❤
Top 5 Haters, Drew McIntyre, Balor, The New Day, Ludwig Kaiser and Chad Gable 😂😂😂 no wait it's Dom and Liv special mention
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
CM Punk and Rollins needs more. Seth being sorta mad the Punk walked out like 11 years ago and Punk not really caring how Seth feels just isn't that interesting... or even that big of a deal. It's not even a feud really, they're both just kind of a little annoyed at one another. I don't know, man.
McIntyre after accepting his hater of the year award - "And now if you'll excuse me, I have to go home and put some water in CM Punk's Dog's dish."
Drew & Seth vs sami and jey jan 6
Could be jimmy if jey wants to be more singles jey reed sounds really cool when ozilla is healed up and have him outside the bloodline story and only come in when they do the big matches or have a full faction fued and he focuses on his own stuff that could be pulled in or cooled off by the rest of the og
If you want a tag partner for Drew and someone who hates Jey and Sami... Kevin Owens...
I feel RAW has been the A show for over a year now. I have found it way more entertaining than Smackdown.
I can't take "Anything Goes" as a stipulation name seriously because of the titular song from the musical of the same name.
The roster is stacked. It’s so hard to see who should be a champ.
Sami came back at the rumble this year from being attacked by drew they finally getting this match.
Considering how long they were able to stretch out Drew and Punk, stretching Rollins/Punk to Mania seems pretty easy. Just sucks that Rollins will take the L in that feud, because Rollins seems destined to be the best paid jobber in WWE. Always the bride's maid, never the Bride, even though the dude carried the company for a solid decade.
If Drew needs allies he should go to Karrion Kross and the Authors of Pain, they need the rub, he could maybe get them over.
