Can RAW Save the Day?...

Greetings Enthusiasts!

Well, I’m not surprised at how Hell in a Cell ended but I will say that it is poor timing on the WWE’s part.   Now the question becomes, do they care?  Because if they don’t, I would read that as the company more or less folding.  To pull in new fans requires quality content and if they refuse to offer it then they basically make the statement that they refuse to stay in business.  I doubt it will go that far but do take note of how they proceed.  We have to now look to see if WWE Management is operating under some kind of delusion.  That's a step passed "out of touch".

Yet, let us be fair.  The main event was the only real low point of HIAC.  Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch should be very proud of themselves.  They came out and set a very respectable tone and even get to take match of the night.  The Ladies in general delivered as expected and the Men came off too self-involved to care about portraying a clean match, realistic but unprofessional.  Perhaps some Management representative should come through and check this behavior.  Not that the WWE may address it but here’s where they could do themselves a favor by laying down some believable storyline or “drama” at best.  And the WWE can illustrate defiance here by saying things along the lines of “if you don’t like it, you can leave…”  AEW can only accommodate so many.

That being said, this is also a good time for the WWE to do some minor restructuring.  There’s obviously a creative issue and they need to sort it out and in the meantime they can save some cash and start downsizing by playing smaller venues.  They made it clear they don’t know how to get people interested in a storyline anymore so they have no choice but to get back to basics and focus on what works.  That is if they want to keep the ship afloat.   I’m no stranger to the WWE missing the mark, they’ve been doing that, now the landscape is different.  They now can’t afford to attempt to get away with it.  They will lose fans.   Can’t be #1, when no one is watching.   It will be interesting to see how they clean up their own mess.

So, RAW has the martial artist and Heavyweight Champion, Tyson Fury set to make an appearance.  Rumor has it, he’s here to book a match with Braun Strowman.  Lacey Evans gets another chance to mis-execute a SharpShooter against Natalya.  The kicker here being it’s going to be a “Last Woman Standing” Match so it’ll be about 15min.  And I’m sure we’ll either hear a lot of trumped up banter regarding last night or they’ll do the ballsy thing and go “WTF” on themselves *gasp* that would be the day.  Funny tweets get retweeted and as for Likes/Favorites, well from the sound of it there should be plenty to riff on.  Remember, we respect wit above all.  Keep it funny, not mean. 

See You in a Bit,
