Hello and welcome to the Raw Review.

We are the deadly boys of What Culture. I'm Adam Wilborn, joined by Michael Hanflot and Michael Sidgwick. Here's review everything. I'm not in the last episode on Lending, A round. But before we get into it, if you're a fan of this sort of thing, make sure you subscribe to What Culture Wrestling on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, music and YouTube, where we do daily wrestling podcasts where we not only review Raw, but also smack down the show,

formerly known as NXT 2.

Oh!

We're done about A2B. and YouTube, where we do daily wrestling podcasts where we not only review Raw, but also Smackdown the show, formerly known as NXT 2.

Oh!

A2Dynamite, A2 Collision, and pay-per-views, premium live events.

We have interviews, roundtable discussions, and a round-up of the week complete.

With the video quiz, of course, on wrestleculture, as I said, though,

joined by a handful and Sydney to review last night's Raw.

What do you make of this show? A bit underwhelming,

if I'm honest. There were, like, things I liked, it's Monday Night Raw. But I thought some of the

big things that we were previewing yesterday with a lot of excitement and suspense and all the kind of

stuff they're, the cliffhanger they were able to arrive at basically last week,

wasn't handled in a way that I would have done personally,

and a couple of the promos in particular were just annoying.

I just felt, yeah, we'll get to it when we get there,

but I just felt like it was more about, like, interpersonal politics and choices being made behind the scenes.

The unrealification of it all felt like it was coming through the fiction yet again, not for the first time this year. Like, I don't want to write out of the gate get, like, tribal about it. But, like, I'm prepared to say it. I think Smackdown was better this week. And that, like, you know, that almost never happens.

Is Sid just shaking his head, he knows.

That almost never happens.

Nah.
