Hello, and welcome to the Raw Preview. I'm Adam Wilborn from Whatculture joined by one

of the deadly boys, Michael Hanflok from Whatculture to look ahead to tonight's episode of Monday Night

Raw. But before we get into it, if you're a fan of this sort of thing, make sure you subscribe

to Whatcultressing on either iTunes Spotify or even get your podcasts from for daily wrestling

podcasts where we review Raw, smack down the Wednesday night war between AW and NXT pay-be-views.

We have interviews round table discussions and a round of the week complete. We're

never letting you cause, of course, on WrestleCulture. As I said, they've joined by Hanflok

to look ahead to Raw, the Go Home Show ahead of Fastlane, the pay-be-view we're kind of

looking forward to because there's three matches on it and it's going to start at 11 p.m.

UK time. How you feeling about Raw tonight, Hanflok?

I could do with an actual Go Home Show and I know that doesn't seem like a big request considering

that that's the show we're talking about, but it's become a bit of a fallacy, I think, as a

format over the last couple of years, pandemic era, especially. It doesn't feel any more like WWE

channels that last, like, chase of a television show into Sunday's event. I dare say the death

of pay-be-view has had something to do that. I'll remember the Revolution Go Home Show of

WWE Dynamite, perhaps more than I'll remember Revolution, but apart from the explosion, watch,

I just couldn't have been more sold on an event and a destination and a place I needed to be

on Sunday night. Do we all want to abandon it as a principle? They'll line up the matches

in advance if they can be asked. The short-term ones will be done with just a sheer obnoxiousness

of a graphic. I always go back to last year where you had the Royal Rumble winner in Drew McIntyre,

having to eliminate Brock and Fighters way through the field to get this heroic chance at

WrestleMania, and then Goldberg coming out and smack down and Roman Reigns' music hitting
