So on Raw talk Kairi asked Asuka for a shot at the title and Asuka agreed. So is that Kairi’s last match before she goes back to Japan? The rumor I heard that the WWE wants Kairi to resign and stay. if her deal is up lets say August I don't think she'll be able to go back to Japan due the overseas travel ban. Bayley wrote on twitter "Let's seee, another dream match down, another victory won. Sooooo.....after we get all the gold Extreme Rules ........ we will take Lita and Trish at Summerslam. Thank youuuuuuuu #raw,".

There were rumors about her being one of the head trainers of NXT Japan but covid put a wrench in those plans. She isn’t unhappy with the company just wants to go home to her husband and start a family.

A lot of the show just didn't have me engaged. I think it was the limited roster they're using. A lot of rehashed matchups last night.

Raw dropped by about 120k to 1.5 million viewers (the 1st episode of Dynamite did 1.4). It averaged close to a .5 in the demo each hour. Age 50+ is still the biggest category for WWE. The overall picture is pretty bleak for a go home show before a PPV. Numbers are normally up in this spot, and they packed last nights show with matches they thought would draw. Prichard might not survive Q3.
It'll be interesting to see how low they dip in overall viewers compared to the dip in the demo. AEW & NXT combined are going to come pretty close to this weeks Raw.

Supposedly that's the lowest they've ever done. So episodes in 93, 94, and 95 that had jobber matches never did that low? 1.5 is horrible considering how many people used to watch this show. I can't say it isn't deserved. I'd be surprised if AEW didn't do at least 800,000 this week.

I don’t know if its the crowds missing or some stars MIA because of the virus or what but I just cannot get interested in the current WWE product anymore. NXT has been alright but to me you could wrap up the last 4-5 months and I couldn’t tell you anything that happened because nothing stands out. Edge/Orton is about the only thing.
For example, look at it Kofis title reign from last year, you remember him winning sure that was big but could anyone tell me everything that happened in the middle? Is anyone gonna remember his feud with Joe or Ziggler or Owens? I remembered he did but I couldn’t tell you anything that happened during them. I honestly look back to Raws from 2000, 2001, 2002 and I can remember specific things that happened on specific dates because of the big moments that happened every week. I just feel like that’s really missing from todays products, shows are really feeling like its just going through the motions. And I feel bad for the writers, if they have to put up with Vince’s last second rewrites and turmoil and then out the other end comes something shows like these, its gotta be demoralizing.

And with the MLB i coming backwith a 60-game season where every single game has huge implications. NBA is coming & will have high level playoff games soon.NHL is coming. Sports are returning. Maybe now wwe will get it nobody wants to see Big Show Mvp, Bobby Trashyley, edge Orton, Flair, Christian ect. we want to see fresh new talent. Hi JD.

Seth's promo got hilarious at the end when he started talking about how he will make Rey go blind and he starts listing the things Rey will not get to see anymore. The lack of emotion on his face and in his voice made it funnier and i applaud him for not breaking down in laughter, maybe he did and they filmed it a few times but either way, great promo lol.

VOW brought up the point that Raw & SD should hotshot their biggest matches every week to draw ratings, but then pointed out that they have no draws on the main roster. I’d be stunned if Dynamite does over 800k.

Really nice seeing Baszler and Bianca back
KO and Seth had another good match. I love seeing KO,Black,Seth and Murphy on my screen at the same time you know you gonna see some great wrestling.
Orton is awesome at everything he does right now. It's hard to believe he's the same guy that we seen pre Edge. Askua,Kairi,Bayley and Sasha all did a great job.

The 48 year old legend vs the 40 year old legend killer lol

If we keep getting this Orton I don't care what people calls him. Since Edge came back Orton been one of the best things in wrestling imo.

I'm going to make this simple...
I don't want this board or any topic to become WWE vs AEW. Rather than complaining about Orton & Show's age, by all means go to the AEW board and talk about young upstarts like Matt Hardy, Dustin Rhodes, & Jericho.
And I'll say this in bold so even tang can understand, DO NOT COME TO THE WWE BOARD AND CALL PEOPLE "WWE SHILLS". THEY'RE ON A WWE BOARD TALKING WWE, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT. NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERY SINGLE THING. GO AWAY. Just be cool.
