"Emma"?  Just "Emma"?  After months and months and months of "Emmalina" we get "Emma"????
WTH?

I think "Emma" is the wrestler alter ego of Emmalina. Mitt Face is getting serenaded like she did in NXT.

I read she was dating Zach Ryder (but not anymore?), and supposedly Vince doesn't much like Ryder, so maybe that was the punishment of her not being on live tV after her injury until now?
She kicked ass. Brought a smile to my face when she said she wanted Bayley in the ring because Emma (Tenille Tayla) had left before she had a chance to wrestle Bayley (Davina Rose) in SHIMMER.

Sending AJ to RAW just shows the favoritism Vince shows to RAW and Staph. I knew Angle was gonna be RAW GM.

You don't want to see 'the Bullet Club' reunited?
Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, AJ Styles , Finn Bálor might now all be on one show.
This could be massive like DX, if they are allowed to be more humorous, and I wish they would bring in Gallows' wife, Amber O'Neal, she is a great hilarious character in every match I seen so far. She comes off as a babyface at first, then turns into a whiny heel.

Assuming that Gallows and Anderson stay put they could move too. Im not all that impressed with this "Superstar shakeup" essentially its a draft something theyve done after WM most years

At least a re-draft should give us some fresh matchups.  Both Raw and Smackdown are beyond stale now.

You mean you don't want to see another Sammy Zayne/Kevin Owens match?

You guys are right.

That Dash guy from The Revival does look a lot like Arn Anderson back when he had hair.  His body type is a spitting image.

TND to SD... so far the shakeup has been predictable.

Kurt Hawkins is relevant enough to get traded?

What's happened after the Hawkins acquisition?

I was flipping back and forth but the Cardinals have a rally going in the 5th so I've missed a bunch.

TJ Perkins beat Austin Aries in a snooze fest and then turned heel it seems. Rollins promo which referred to Steph going thru a table at WM and then Angle came out.

So basically I've missed nothing.

Rollins wants to stay on RAW and Steph wants him gone to which Angle said as long as he's GM Rollins has a home on RAW. Joe jumps Rollins and Angle tries to intervene but mildly and the Rollins bests Joe and Jow walks away.

Basically, yeah. I expect KO to SD and Charlotte too.

Flipped back over because the Cardinal bullpen blows.

I saw Nia "manhandle" Charlotte.  Good for her.  I think Creative is going to turn Nia face after the Instagram/Facebook post she took of herself in a bathing suit.

That botched shoulder breaker that dropped Charlotte on her head was scary.

Oh great, Dysentery Face vs Jindroid.

Finn Bowel.

Oh boy, Finn Balor over the walking steroid monster.

I like Finn Balor.  He's a hell of a lot more interesting that a lot of the other characters on Raw IMO.

Great beat down!!!!

I had heard earlier in the day that Alexa was going to RAW but I didn't wanna believe it.

Gojira better not even think of hurting Alexa.

Braun looked like Superman last night. I kept looking for telltale signs on that ambulance (props, etc) as he was turning it over but I couldn't see none. So, they either had gimmicks on it that I couldn't see, or Braun is just legit freakishly strong.

I saw a video of him, can't find it now, but it was a competition and he was incredibly impressive. will look for it.

Here is one:

I don't like this whole direction they're taking with Strowman.

They'd been playing up his athleticism, having him do dropkicks and stuff off the top rope.  But now he's feuding with Reigns and he's back to being a one-dimensional strongman monster-type and you know he'll inevitably lose to "The Chosen One".  Pisses me off.

Was Nakamura this weird in NXT?

Yes. He was also like that in the latter years of his NJPW career too.

If they do this right, they'll put Roman on the shelf for 6 months, and allow him to make a surprise return as a heel. But they'll really have to protect that secret to add to the surprise.

Meanwhile, they need to go ahead and tease a feud with Braun and Brock. It's inevitable.
