| 0:00.0 | So a few things from the start of this week's episode of Raw. |
| 0:02.4 | One, Roman Rain still has his title boy who runs up to him at the start of the show and gives him the belt, which I think is weird. And also, every single member of the bloodline arrived separately. Are they meant to be friends? Are they meant to be acknowledging people all of the time? You could just do this together. You're going to save so much time, my friends. Start travelling as a unit. Also, like my friends, and one-to- the only wrestling review show you need with me, Simon Miller the pro wrestling content creator and professional wrestler. I don't know why I told you that, but now you've got it up, your tucker saying, you know the deal, we've been doing this for long enough, I have watched Raw and I'm going to give you my thoughts, you're going to get mad that I have a platform I'm allowed to give my thoughts and then you will give you your thoughts in the comments below. Sound good? Awesome. Let's go. Anyway, after a decade, the bloodline did get to the ring and they stood there for another half a millennia, but eventually Robin Ranger was like, oh, hi, I just want to make it very clear that I loved my bloodline. Jay Uso, he's the right hand man, but we wouldn't even have a bloodline, and Jay Uso wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Jimmy Uso. So even though lots of people have said mean things about Jimbo, let's all acknowledge him. Jim was like, I'm so damn happy. I just want to thank my agent. I think he was going to say something nice about Jacob and 2 as well. He was just in the corner being sad, Jacob 2. But no, Jay Uso stole the microphone. He's like, listen, I love all this acknowledgement. |
| 1:11.2 | But it's time to acknowledge me and my Well, who's just in the corner being sad Jacob, for two. But no, Jay Uso stole the microphone. |
| 1:29.6 | He's like, listen, I love all this acknowledgement. But it's time to acknowledge me and my brother Jimmy. And we ain't talking about you, Roman. We are talking about sad Jacob, the S.J. So we want to hear it. Surprised, I'm not going to do that. I hate you. Now, Roman Rains was totally fine with that because he was like, you know what, I don't want yes men in my group. |
| 1:27.8 | I was like, he's such a that. I hate you. Now, Roman Rains was totally fine with that because he was like, you know what? |
| 2:21.7 | I don't want yes men in my group. I'm like, he's such a liar. He surrounded himself with yes men for the last five years when he introduced a brand new wooden Ulafala. I don't know why I found this funny, but he made such a big deal of it. And he gave it to Jacob for two who actually looked quite impressed by all of this, whereas Jay Uso was absolutely seething, and I think Jimmy Uso was mad as well, but that dude had just found Zen in his life, he's just like, man, long as I'm happy and peaceful, I don't care. Of course, Roman Rains ain't kind of big old promo about how the bloodline had been running this industry for ages, we've even got a Yoko Zuna and a Rakakeshi reference when he did give the Ulifala to Jacob for two. And I have no sympathy for Jay Uso or Jimmy Uso at all. You put yourself back in the bloodline after WrestleMania for no reason whatsoever. Roman says bend over and you say what angle? And sure, the tease here is that maybe Jay Uso will win the king of the ring and actually challenge Roman Reigns as opposed to Gunther. But in my fantasy booking world, I still kind of think WW would run back Jay Uso versus Gunther instead from WrestleMania 41, because then |
| 2:27.2 | Gunther can end J Uso and nobody will ever have to talk about that match again. People still |
| 2:31.6 | get so mad that Jay Uso did win there. I'm going to say |
| 2:34.8 | this on the quiet. I quite liked it. I know, I did. Shoot me. I think mostly I'm just terrified |
| 2:39.8 | because if you do do that, we actually have gone back in time and you've got Jay Uso and Roman |
| 2:43.8 | rains falling out again. And mostly that's why it's a down. Like when it comes to aura and cinema |
| 2:48.6 | and all those stupid words, of course they know what we're doing and I know I sound like a broken record, but it really does feel like we have gone back a few years. I just don't need to see this again, especially because the only way this works is if Jake and two eventually breaks out and go crazy, and we already had that. And yes, you're never going to top what you did do with Jay Uso in 2002, 23, whenever it was, unless this all ends with The Rock, right? When Roman Ranger going through the family, he never said Dwayne Johnson's name, but maybe he didn't say Dwayne Johnson's name because you don't want to say it and then get the fans all riled up. So, I will change my mind if it does all end with The Rock, but for now I am going to give it a down. Again, it's not bad TV at all. In fact, it's very, very good. They do know what they're doing. I just want something new. I'm desperate for it. And this one feels like I'm in back to the future part four. The follow-up was hilarious though, because as they were leaving, Eric Andre was in the crowd. and because he touched the new Ulavala, Jacob Fadu killed him. |
| 3:42.4 | And Roman Reins at one point was like, |
| 3:43.7 | no, no, you must stop because the useless rest of security came out when he went, ha ha, I'm only joking, and Jacob had two, I think splashed Eric Andre twice. I'm just looking around my room going, I didn't have this on my bingo card, and I guess Eric Andre is now dead. What are you going to do? So I did like that part because again, it reminded you that Jacob is an absolute loon. I mean, once again, I'd rather Roman Raines wasn't instructing him, but I am going to give it them up. That's the way you use a celebrity, flatten him. It was then Eoskeye versus Raquel Rodriguez in the semifinals of the Queen of the Ring, and I just thought this ticked every single box. It was David versus Goliath, which always works. At one point Raquel grabbed Eo and just held her and she tried to do a dive when Eio Sky came back with drop kits because she's super duper fast. Honestly, I could watch this all day. Sometimes wrestling doesn't need to be high. I went to here was Raquel who made a mistake here because later on she decided maybe I'll try |
| 4:32.8 | a high risk maneuver. And that's why it's called a high risk maneuver. She totally screwed up. Eoske got the moonsault and pinned it for the one, two, three. And I would imagine the story here is that the Judgment Day didn't really try to help Raquel Rodriguez. And yes, as we keep talking about when it comes to the Queen of the Ring. This should be the reason the |
| 4:48.0 | Judgment Day does melt down. We've just come to the end of their natural shelf life. And you can't say we didn't do a good job because we did. It also means Eoskai is going to the finals of the Queen of the Ring. And yes, I would do Eoskai versus Liv Morgan after she goes through. And then Eoskai can win at night of champions. You can run it back at WrestleMania, WrestleMania, Hot WrestleMania, SummerSlam. |
| 5:05.6 | And I would imagine Liv Morgan probably pins Eoske, but that's totally fine. Eoskei should always be in the main event. I'm giving it an up. I liked it. We then cut to Liv Morgan, which I think was intentional, and she was all like, ha ha, Roxanne Press, I don't care about you, because I'm going to talk to Dan Housen |
| 5:20.0 | because I want him to curse Oberfemmy |
| 5:21.9 | because of course later on it's Donald Mysterioverse |
| 5:24.0 | Oberfemmy, because of course later on it's dominant hysteriaverse over Femmy. Dan Housen couldn't give a damn. Like, Liv was trying to flirt with him. It's like, here's my demands for cursing. I need to be in your new music video. And of course, I need a lot of money when Liv Morgan just stormed off. Honestly, this Dan Housen is having the run of his career, |
| 5:38.4 | especially after all the New York Knicks stuff. I am just going to give it an up. I just think |
| 5:42.5 | it's wonderful. Remember all the stupid reaction when he first debuted and now look at him. He's a |
