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

DaddyWay's of WhatCulture, Michael Hanford at Michael Siegewick, here's a 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 WhatCulture Wrestling on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music.

Where did I get your podcast from? For daily wrestling podcasts, well, we're not on a review

Raw, but also SmackDown, the show formerly known as NXD2, but-

Oh, wait, don't be done in my AW-Rampage, pay-per-views, premium live events, we have interviews,

round table discussions, and a round of the week complete. Well, the money acquies, of course,

on WrestleCulture, as I said, though, joined by Hanford, and Siegewick, to look ahead to Raw

tonight, the penultimate Raw, before Wrestlemania, with a rather big return on it tonight.

Yeah, I described SmackDown over the last month or so as basically being one extended kickoff

to Wrestlemania. The match both, the match content in terms of quality and quantity has

got an awful lot lighter as that show is relied on angles. In most cases, really well-received

storyline developments in the like to just get to Wrestlemania, and people are mostly

content with it. It's two hours on a Friday night, and you're getting most of the big stars.

Raw just can't do that, and Christ, I wish it could, because every now and then,

I, there's a match that you're genuinely excited about. But is there? Shock of all shocks,

like three hours is too long. So you're still tired by the end. There's, I think, most

Raw's lately, because most of the story isn't going into WrestleMania pretty good. They've had

something like a pretty strong takeaway, but then you look at this card, and there's loads of

stuff on it, and some of it still seems superfluous. And what was it, the penultimate Raw before

Wrestlemania? Yeah. It's just weird. This symptom of team was wrestling, isn't it?
