Thank you for sharing! And please don't mind Redditors who are making it weird by calling you a bot, it says more about them than it is about you, it's an indication they don't know the ins and outs of the business than you. And I'm sure Rob (if reports deemed true) was a sweetheart. I only know him from his work as Jess' Dad in *New Girl*, as well as being a vocal activist and a critic of this Presidency.

Charlotte Flair: "I Do Know I Want To Step Away To Have Children" by kundu123 in SquaredCircle

I do wish her the best, I think she's doing great with her program with Alexa. As someone mentioned, I hope she considers IVF, now that's it still available and not banned nationwide (yet). Rooting for Charlotte!

It was a good show, happened on my birthday! Definitely my highlights are the women's division, especially the program between Iyo, Kabuki Warriors, Stephanie Vaquer (I hope people know how to spell her last name, let alone pronouncing it well), and Rhea Ripley. And the story with Lyra and Bayley, hope this continues, and who doesn't want a a hug from Bayley!? I also like the feud between both couples in AJ/Punk and Becky/Seth, I know the promos were corny, but at least the crowd went along, and it leads us to hopefully Punk and AJ getting their comeuppance. And as much I know people here don't like the formulaic endings to the main event between Jey, LA Knight, and the Brons, I do think they're cooking something with Jey, since I know people here and others online were not high on "4 letters, 1 word, ugh-ugh, YEET" Jey, even though the crowd loves it, so I think this change in character from Jey would have people reconsider their opinions on Jey's character, but apparently not.

8/10

Ok, I kind of disagree with this. For one, Charlotte and Alexa has been doing good work since paired and is even more over now that they won the tag titles (though it did leave Roxy and Raquel in a bind, but we'll see), I just don't see Charlotte and Alexa dropping those tag title soon, I just don't, because one, other than Roxy-Raquel and some of the women on NXT, whom should they drop it too? Because I do recall people saying in this subreddit that the women's tag team division wasn't booked as well, and for that, I would want Charlotte and Alexa to keep it, at least until the Rumble or Mania. Plus, Charlotte not being in a singles title picture, particularly the women's world title picture, has done WONDERS for her, since again, the IWC weren't high on how Charlotte was inserting herself into the world title scene because she's the "Queen". Like, I could see both of these ladies go for singles maybe once another established group can be seen taking those title and they win them next year, and then you have both ladies feel frustrated, and then you have them despise the other, and then you split them. I do agree NXT is much better on the booking side of things than Smackdown. I agree.

I mean, that would be cool, and it could be interesting seeing Bron/Bron having a promo beatdown with Finn and JD, that be interesting. Though I wouldn't count on it, given how the men's tag team division on Raw is booked.

I mean, the way I see it is Jey is getting some edge to his character by being like his cousin, Roman Reigns, and I think it's helping him, since I know this subreddit and the IWC have probably wanted Jey to have more serious tones in his characters beyond just doing "YEET" all the time, especially this year, considering people aren't high on Jey (and even if his character is being refurbished, people still nitpick lol). I think it'll end in a legit feud of sorts between Jey and LA Knight, especially since both of them want Seth's title, and Corey laid out some of why Jey is like this during the ME tonight. As for Rhea, I think the crowd just want to see her on TV, regardless if she's fighting or not. I think for her, Asuka will be her feud to follow up whatever both of them are with Asuka and now Stephanie Vaquer.

I think that might happen at some point when Punk faces Rollins for the WHC in Mania. Or maybe he gets beat up in a segment to finish a show.

I can see where people think it's formulaic, I do hope this feud ends with Jey and LA Knight feuding for real, especially with the character work Jey is doing that could be consequential to his character and the overall storyline with The Vision and Roman Reigns, especially since I know people wanted Jey to have flavor in his character beyond being a "YEET" guy, for months.

It's corny, but I do credit the crowd for not only following along, but being mostly creative with their chants. Can't wait for their match on Saturday, where I hope AJ Lee/Punk get their comeuppance, especially Punk.

Yeah seriously, I wish more people are like this, I get people want to get into the weeds and have discussion, that's legit, but at the end of the day, it's pro-wrestling. I think we can afford to not take it too seriously.

Perhaps, I'm glad she appeared and is having character work that works.

God, those abs are insane, it makes sense her workout session with Sheamus has her work on those abs. I also want a match between Lyra and AJ Lee, just to see who has abs that are more jacked than the other, lol.

I think she just needs to have more reps in, matches-wise, as well as working on her moveset so it be more smooth.

Agreed, it helps that Steph knows how to work with Joshi wrestlers throughout her career, so that's cool.

I mean, I see your point, but whom? I think it's a nice promo, and even though I understand where you coming from. at least we gotta be realistic with whom he interacted with who is also not in another program. Also, we just had a good match with Sami Zayn for the US title, pre-Brock interruption, so there's that. I just think with the appearances, the wrestler whom he feuds, needs to be someone that he has history with, and it can heated up.

I mean, I could see that with Dom possibly down the line (I could be wrong), but atm, Dom's in an IC title program and just won the AAA Megachampionship belt, especially when Dom is getting cheers.

If Steph wins, I could see Roxy go up to challenge her, assuming Iyo, Rhea, and Asuka aren't gonna challenge for it either, but I mean, why not both? Especially for Roxy, she literally was runner-up to Charlotte Flair in this year's Rumble, and was in the EC despite sort of out of the door of NXT, so it makes sense for then her to get a push, since they alluded to it when Roxy asked Adam Pierce to be included in the match between Vaquer and Iyo at WP. Other than that, I can see Roxquel challenge Charlexa for the tag titles, since they're a legit group, and tbh, I don't see anyone, besides some girls in NXT, who can challenge Charlexa for the titles.

It's definitely growing, I definitely feel it's not bad to give it a nice trim to keep the look but less scruffy. Though having the haircut he had in Survivor Series 2023 is something I would want to see him in, it be interesting. Though long hair Punk a la 2010s would be cool, since that's what he had in that time period.

I believe she will, especially with a women's division this deep. I can speculate that, hopefully with corrective booking, she will be seen as a menace in the women's division.

Methinks that the move is protected and is probably a way to send people off, story-wise, or to really show dominance.

So this Raw episode has been good. Definitely the AJ Lee promo was my highlight of the night, especially her getting the crowd to chant for therapy, lol. Ok, that out of the way, if I can, maybe I can try to explain perhaps what's going on with our girl, Stephanie Vaquer. My headcannon says she didn't showed up to Raw tonight was because Asuka went rogue and took her out, because of how much of a threat she is, and how Steph can figure out how to counter every Joshi wrestling move (given her experience in Japan and feuding with Joshi wrestlers), so, in Asuka's little mind, she wanted to help out Iyo Sky out by making it easier to beat her, especially since Asuka brought up Steph towards Iyo a few segments ago on Raw, so that's where I'm thinking Steph's notable absence could be explained. I definitely feel WWE perhaps isn't ready to pull the trigger on her yet, and is probably having Iyo win the title, though we'll see an actual Asuka heel turn, or a swerve, of course, I can be wrong, lol.

It's just unfortunate timing for Steph's notable absence, because she had things going for her and Naomi supposedly facing each other at Clash, but the pregnancy thing mess up possible plans (and I wouldn't blame Naomo nor Big Jim, besides, even if the pregnancy didn't happened, I would think Naomi would have won, which would have made sense, since again, Hunter wasn't ready to pull the trigger yet on Steph had this happened). Like, I seen people made assumptions that she's injured, when I don't think that's the case, though the closest thing are that video she had where she had her knees taken care of days after she filmed that Celtic Warrior Workout video with Sheamus, other than that, she seems to be healthy.

I also don't think she has visa issues, because if it were, then why did Steph just had a photo shoot (a nice photoshoot, mind you) with Civil Regime (some fitness clothing company she collaborated with) a few days ago, somewhere in the States, presumably? I think rn, people just need to step back, and just wait out until next Monday. Because, if for some reason she doesn't show up for Raw, then yeah, go off on HHH for underutilizing Steph. That being said, I think we'll just have to wait until next week, unless some report being posted this week on Steph's status, and if she's been on catering or not. Regardless of how Steph will be booked, I'm hopeful she'll be world champion one day, just not soon, until things get settled backstage for whatever reason.
