WWE RAW Discussion Thread 12/11/23

This episode had a PLE vibe: an excellent show!

Match of the night for me was the 6-man tag match between Imperium and DIY with The Miz. Amazing crowd reaction, probably because of the the hometown superstars. The post-match segment made me look forward to the 2nd Gunther vs Miz championship match. I feel like WWE will finally end Gunther’s record-breaking reign and give The Miz another IC title run, especially with the stipulation (Miz cannot challenge again during Gunther’s reign if the latter wins)

And finally a CM Punk segment that made up for the lukewarm promo on SmackDown. Witnessing Seth Rollins on the mic in front of Punk feels cathartic somehow, given their history. I also look forward to their future matchup, with title on the line or without.

Unfortunately the main event fell flat for me, a long-winded match that ends up with another red mist DQ and Cody beat up. A minor caveat to an otherwise excellent program!

I woke up late this morning (Manila local time) so I only got to started watching live during the Logan Paul vs. Kevin Owens match. I was so relieved the wrong finalist didn’t win the men’s Rumble match.

Watching the PLE replay now, boy did my goosebumps raise with the surprise entrants to the women’s Rumble!

Frankly, it’s so conflicting to be looking forward to any more WWE events, despite it being a red hot on-screen product. I’m probably guilty of compartmentalizing the evil uncovered recently (and alleged since way back) with the excitement I get from tuning in.

It feels heavy while watching clips of today’s big segments (Bayley, Rhodes and Reigns), as I also want justice served for all the women hurt by McMahon and his cohorts.
