Match card
Kickoff:
A PowerPoint presentation. Don't ask why.
Sasha Banks vs Alicia Banks. This match has actual potential so prepare to be underwhelmed.
Main-card:
Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann vs. Gentleman Jack Gallagher & The Brian Kendrick
Neville walked out. These are the leftovers.
Asuka vs Jobber.
Lets pretend Asuka's WWE run ends here and the impending shitshow in the months after will never happen.
WWE Cruiserweight Champion Kalisto vs. Enzo Amore
The other leftovers. Enzo, just like his former partner Cass went fully heel in no time and it actually kinda works. Kalisto got the belt because of the Neville walkout. And because they love him as placeholder champion.
“The Demon” Finn Bálor vs. AJ Styles
WWE spent alot of time, energy and movie maker effects to built up Bray Wyatt vs Finn Balor. Now you get AJ. Be grateful.
Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss vs. Mickie James
Believe it or not, but Mickie is with 38 the oldest woman on the mainroster. Reason enough for WWE to kick off the feud with ageism. So here we are now, hoping for the best.
Kurt Angle & Raw Tag Team Champions Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins vs. Intercontinental Champion The Miz, Cesaro, Sheamus, Braun Strowman & Kane (5-on-3 Handicap Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match)
Here it is, the long anticipated Shield reunion match against some glorified enhancement talent. Oh right, Roman is sick. So now get hyped for 2 Shield bros and a has been. And we all know you are hyped for Angle. Lets just hope Angle survives it.

Michael Cole continues to be terrible. His delivery on wrestlers nicknames is always cringe-worthy. "it's Boss time here at TLC!". What's gonna happen tonight with the "monster among men, Braun Stroman?"
I'm not able to sub to the network right now so I'll have to live through this thread. Hope you folks have fun!
OK I'll watch Asuka. I'm not familiar with any of the joshii and I have being screaming for the WWE to get more of them
By The Frankman Go To PostShould I watch thsi knowing I'm like 9 months behind results for PPVs and house shows?I mean, the two marquee matches on this show were thrown together two days ago and have no kayfabe explanation. It's as good a place as any to get back in.
Gotcha. Got a stream now. Does anyone have background on her so I get a quick refresher? I don't know her particularly. Is he a typical joshii that the WWE is rebranding, or is she like Shinsuke Nakumara with natural charisma?
Asuka is one of the best workers in the company. She's put on pretty awesome matches at pretty much every NXT title defense. Really liked her work with Ember Moon this year.
I could do without the announcing crew fellating Asuka constantly, but I need to get used to WWE announcing. And by that I mean Micheal Cole.

I take back my statement about killing Emma. This is a nice little back and forth. Whoops she tapped out.
By Brinbe Go To PostBetter than Nak-Ziggler at least!God, don't remind me of that match or the one with Roode/Ziggler.
By MrKENnedDY Go To PostGod, don't remind me of that match or the one with Roode/Ziggler.
What was the last Ziggler match people wanted to be reminded of?
By Mole Go To PostThat was way more competitive than i was expecting, fun opener.Most nights it would have been a squash given how little Emma has been built up or protected on RAW. But they're clearly padding for time tonight. Now enjoy this song from Elias.
By The Frankman Go To Postwhodafuck is this dude with a guitar.He is "Rock concert" the gimmick.

Elias. He insults people, wins sometimes and plays music all the time. Don't ask for storylines. He is just there.
They might as well take 2k18 wrestling off the market. Every entrance is outdated. Even Gallagher has new music.
Jason Jordan has a hard enough time trying to get over already, they don't need to saddle him with this corny produce throwing shit.
"Jason's Dad got over by spraying heels with milk out of a fire hose. Why wouldn't he get over by throwing veggies at them?" ... said some guy in the back employing WWE logic
Jesus this card is the shittiest I've seen in a while. Shield no show and Angle outta nowhere really sucks.
And now you're telling me I missed Asuka?

And now you're telling me I missed Asuka?
By ratcliffja Go To PostCedric is a star in the making.He's super good. I wish he wasn't pigeonholed in to working 205.
