They could use it to add a "shock value" like when Ryder lost the IC title the night after winning it at WM.

The last two shocks on Raw I can remember are the returns of Shane this year and The Rock (2011). Can't think of any other moments or results that were particularly shocking. Shockingly bad, maybe.

Was listening to Bryan Alvarez earlier and he said that we've seen some form of New Day vs The Club 19 times in the last 60 days, tonight will make 20

That's ridiculous

The shock value in that was Ryder winning it in the first place

This is true.

Seen Roman/Rusev a lot aa well lately and of course Cesaro/Sheamus is now a beat of a 101 match series

I see Devon is already back with the company in a producer role.

This is the problem with halfing the roster, and having to produce three hours (okay slightly less minus the adverts) per week, plus a single ppv every few weeks, you are bound to get a heck of a lot of repetitive matches.

There just is not the time for the writers to come come up with new storylines, and for the producers to put them into a suitable match, week after week, without a break all year long.

This is where having no break say after Wrestlemania does not help anyone at the company.

Match to open the show and not a promo

Booooooo Reigns

Over 100 million expected to watch the Trump and Hilary debate in America. I don't think the WWE will put much effort into tonights show, there's no need to.

But WWE fans aren't interested in politics...

The hardcore fanbase will watch tonight. The rating at 9pm UK time tomorrow will absolutely 100% show you the exact number of people in the USA that will watch WWE no matter what because everyone is interested in this debate. It will even be on our news tomorrow. That's not even counting the NFL or even regular TV like the Big Bang Theory.

The Trump saga goes beyond politics because it's such a crazy circus. Then if demographics are to be believed a lot wrestling fans will be drawn to this type of circus and the Donald's rhetoric.

Will be interesting number for sure. But then ECW on sci-fi was pulling in 1.7 million viewers until the end. It's difficult to imagine Raw or any main prime time wrestling show falling beyond 2.5 million viewers...

It is a show, that's why so many people will watch it. It's a spectacle just seeing them in the same room and what they will say face to face. You don't have to be a big political person to want to see Trump vs Hilary.

The last 2 hours of Raw will take a hit so the first hour might do a decent number.

Actually think im interested in a Reigns feud

So the rumours were true and they get a tag title shot.

I can see them winning just to get that odd couple tag champs WWE seems to love.

All that just to pair them up and go after the tag belts?

it just speaks volumes about wwe booking at the minute

They are going to be the ones to take down New Day.

Surely that was the time to bring out Nia or Paige and start a fued with Bayley. Amazingly SD has the more dynamic womens division atm, all down to the writers really though

Well for Paige she was face last time we saw her.

So turn her heel it will only be her 52854684834 turn since she was called up.

So they change the ropes and turnbuckle pads just for the CW matches.

Not sure if that is good or not.

I think the ring mat is changed to.

Am I the only one bored of Raw. Smackdown is a far better show imo

no your not, the reason smackdown is better watch is it's 2 hours long and its got better booking

I see what other people mean now saying WWE is too predictable these days, I think I even said last night knowing WWE they will probably give the Club a rematch on Raw and they did.

I remember saying they will also probably throw 2 random singles guys together which was kind of a joke as in Smackdown doing it with Slater & Rhyno and low and behold Sheamus & Cesaro team up.

I dont know why we cant have match 8 but if I was either of those two and the best of series was just to get a tag title shot Id be pissed too.
