The Holy Bron-ity were amazing last night. Bronson and Braun was obviously GOATed, but Bron was also fantastic. That final spear? Oh my gosh, he fired himself like a projectile!
How.about a *Kaiju Brawl match* 🤔⁉️ Y'know what i mean- mini buildings & toy tanks strewn around in the ring, electrified ring rope, maybe a warning siren sounding off constantly... 😊Harmless Fun😊
@@prasannavishal Goldberg is old news. Stone Cold is old news. We need Simon to dress like the newest bald sensation … The latest follicly challenged phenomenon … The man they call … Ricky!!
The big meaty men slapping man meat and breaking stuff was the highlight. I'm a sucker for breaking the ring and going through drywall. The metal shrapnel falling a second later was funny. But I am loving Bronson Reed. Bianca vs. Iyo. was AWESOME! I would like to see a best of 5 with Jade & Bianca vs. Iyo and Kairi. Raw titles defended for the 1st time since June is a disgrace.
Iyo and Bianca were by far my favorite of the night. The back and forth to start it off was great and they both looked fantastic. Iyo screaming that Bianca was a coward was just the best too 😂
Does anyone else think Bron was late with the Spear at the end? Jey actually looked like an apprehensive babyface getting in the ring with The JD, as he was clearly waiting way too long for Bron to "blindside" him...
Dude, I'm seriously waiting for Rhea Ripley vs EST. Bianca! Rhea need to consider creating a female Judgement Day Crew (⚖️) to try to dethrone Jade & Bianca...🤔💭
Simon has been complaining about the Women's Tag Team Titles, but I'd argue the men's ones are in a much worse position. this was the first time in months since those were defended, and I can't even remember about the Smackdown's ones (which, btw, the last champions before the Tongans only held the belts for a month and lost at their first defense). at least the Women's Titles appear more and are actually involved in programs for them. nah, the WTTT have been the best tag titles in quite a while, and maybe the better tag division too
100 percent I always down vote the vid every time for this both men’s tag titles since being split have never been defended at a ple the women’s tag titles have I already miss the unholy union hope they get another longer run 🤞🏻.
It should be made a rule that titles have to be defended once a month barring injury or else you vacate them. I'm sick of champions who don't defend their titles for months.
Here is my hottake: cm Punk is far from being the best in the world. His mic skillz are quite good, but there isn't a single move he does, that other wrestlers simply perform better. And i really Hope, Drew Beats him in the cell. Overall an entertaining raw. And thanks to you, Mr. Miller, your Reviews Always make my day.
The new day stuff makes even more sense when you factor in that Big E and X were the originators of the team and they brought Kofi in on the idea later.
A simple nice touch from commentary, like they do in racing broadcasts, is talk a little about some history of an item or car. when they bust out a Shellaye (spellcheck) they could have Wade Barrett give a touch of historical context to the weapon.
We've had some really good 3-hour RAWs this year, but going to 2 hours even if only for a few months will be great. The Punk, Gunther/Sami, and Bron/Jey promos were all solid and helped build up their upcoming matches. Sheamus and Pete Dunne rarely have a bad match. I love that we are finally getting the New Day break-up, it's needed. Let them be a part for a few months then have Big E be the one to bring them back together again. Iyo and Bianca continue to prove they are two of the best women in wrestling, I admit I was surprised Iyo won, with her track record against Bianca. Iyo has had so many great singles matches and needs to get back into the title picture. Bronson vs Braun was just a fun trainwreck, this has to lead to a Fall Count Anywhere or Last Man Standing match. For me the only real negative of the show is the whole "Pure Fusion Collective" is not working at all. I'd much rather see Shayna as a solo act finally getting a singles title. This is why I say they need to drop the Women's tag titles and go with the Women's midcard titles.
I agree with everything but as much as I’d like to see a Kofi/Woods feud, I think HHH and WWE are gonna put Big E in before they even break up to keep them together
I know the Pure Fusion Collective doesn’t win at all, but I am so glad Sonya DeVille, Shayna Baszler, and Zoe Stark are getting TV time. 🖤🔥 I do wish their story would progress. But, I trust HHH’s creative process and continue to hope PFC can work towards, and have, a strong, successful future.
I agree, even if it’s only for a month and Bron wins it back at Survivor Series, I also say the same about Gunther and Sami, I think it would be a great story that Sami is the only one out of everyone in WWE to beat Gunther for a title…twice
It’s funny. When watching I was also distracted by Punk not closing his door. Drove the folks around me crazy because I talked about it for 30 minutes. 😂
happy for dmg ctrl and happy belair und cargill got a loss, bit disappointed that it was only a roll up, but we take those. this raw was crazy good. i love how they have wrestlers have multiple storylines like jey helping rhea and priest while also being after the ic title. wwe should do something like that more often, makes the entire show feel way more connected and not just like seperate storylines. i also hope chad gable gets his push at some point. he's been with wwe for quite some time now and he has everything you need to be a main eventer.
Balor has been on a roll since going heel. And now his super A-Hole heel super👍🏽. Also glad I wasn’t the only yelling at my screen. CLOSE THE CAR DOOR how hard is it and imagine how annoying that will be for the one pulling up next to him 😂.. ultimate heel move as a good guy 😂 love Pete Dunn he is just absolutely amazing. Glad he is getting some screen time
Bronson Reed joins the Judgement Day (Balor, McDonaugh, Carlito, Dominic) for a Survivor Series match/War Games match against Damien Priest, Jay Uso, Ilja Dragonov, Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee or something.
Something I don’t think you commented on was how Bron sold Jey’s spear. He threw himself out of the ring and then writhed in so much pain he nearly rolled all the way around the ring
I know it’s about suspension of disbelief. But I have a hard time getting interested in a romance angle when I know one of the people are married to someone else in real life. Maybe back in the late 80’s and early 90’s when kayfabe existed. But not now.
I honestly expect Big E to return (perhaps not in an in-ring capacity but for something) around the anniversary to patch things up between Kofi and Xavier. Because ever since they started this teasing that they might break up, they started referencing Big E in every other talk. Either he'll patch things up, or he'll special-guest-referee the match when the two of them get it out of their system and afterwards hug and be friends again. Because I don't see them breaking up for real - a) they're huge real-life friends and it wouldn't work; b) they already did the "this tag team has been together since the dawn of time and now they're breaking up" thing last year with the Usos. Nobody needs to see the less-compelling rip off just a year later. And c) I think E can remind them of the "power of positivity" and the amount of Booty-os they still need to get top people. Anyway, this episode was really good (and pretty insane for some parts). Punk's promo was intense. The stuff with New Day was great, the segments between the Terror Twins (plus Jey Uso) and the Judgement Day were very funny too. And the entire segment with Braun and Bronson had me actually laughing loud. It was SO unhinged :D And Wade on commentary even said afterwards "we just witnessed the greatest moment in the history of wrestling" and he was right too :D I mean, what the flubb was that. Anyways, I am fired up for next week as well as Bad Blood, so big ups to WWE for a banger episode - apart from (as always) the bad representation of women's matches, because they still seem a bit directionless and out-of-the-blue. I do hope that this will change soon. However, given how Triple H has been booking (in general) and how we've been forming a bunch of new teams and stables in the women's division, I kinda expect this all to turn out fine - it feels like they're holding off until whatever they're cooking is ready. We'll see.

Is it worth getting 2k24? I feel like 25 will come out soon. Iyo Sky needs to get back into the single title soon, she's really good. And I loved the Reed and Stroman brawl.
When I saw Reed toss the poor "fan" in a Test shirt at the Strowman Express, I felt as happy as a young Gunther seeing his first Goldberg match!!
Not yeet shirt 😂
I’m still bothered by the car door… 😢

The Holy Bron-ity were amazing last night. Bronson and Braun was obviously GOATed, but Bron was also fantastic. That final spear? Oh my gosh, he fired himself like a projectile!
Iyo/Bianca was fire.
If only Iyo had more matches like that during her title reign… her reign would’ve been an entirely different story
THAT BRONSON REED THING WAS 5 ⭐️…EASILY
So good, I’m hoping they do a Last Man Standing match at Bad Blood to blow it off
How.about a *Kaiju Brawl match* 🤔⁉️

It was a really great promo by Punk. He was in top form.

Jey vs Bron promo was lit af. I'm excited for a IC title match after a while.
I felt the same way about closing the car door 😂
Probably why Tony didn't get him a car in aew after the first few got stolen.
Green Up fingers. Best prop ever on Ups and Downs!!!
(Though bring back the throwing babies cut-segment)
Iyo and Bianca were by far my favorite of the night. The back and forth to start it off was great and they both looked fantastic. Iyo screaming that Bianca was a coward was just the best too 😂
The most devastating move gestures 🤣🤣 every week, its getting an UP
Simon rules
That dramatic reading skit floored me😂
The Up finger looks DOPE on the green screen!! 😂
Simon, in all seriousness, your videos have brought light to some of my darkest days, thank you 🙏🏾
I was like why didn't he close the door? Hahaha
The fact that the fan reed threw was wearing a yeet shirt made it even better
Such a fantastic entertaining Raw, and Simon, You are great, thanks!
Also.........as usual.......please bring back AEW Collision ups and downs.
RIP The New Day (2014-2024)

that Bronson Braun segment was the greatest thing ive ever seen in my life
Give me the trio stable Bron, Braun, & Bronson! Please WWE. Let them run wild!
They just need a good faction name and I’m on board with this lol
@robdurfee6861 That should be there name. Like Ed, edd, and eddie
@@robdurfee6861 Brawn is the stable name.

CM Punk: "I didn't expect I would make a mortal enemy."
Me: "Phil, have you met...you?"
They followed up the segment about the New Day missing Big E with the meatiest match of the past several years. They knew what they were doing
Here is my hottake: cm Punk is far from being the best in the world. His mic skillz are quite good, but there isn't a single move he does, that other wrestlers simply perform better. And i really Hope, Drew Beats him in the cell.
Overall an entertaining raw.
And thanks to you, Mr. Miller, your Reviews Always make my day.
CM Punk did a small rib on how Perry did something very similar prior
That narrated Wyatt bit was amazing haha! More please
Another great episode of Raw. I was looking past Bad Blood to Series but they've got me into it now.
Pete Dunne Vs Grayson Waller for The Ashes!
I thought Pete dunne used a cricket bat cause he's a fan of the ninja turtles character Casey Jones. He the first person I saw use one. 😂
Cricket? Nobody understands Cricket! You gotta understand what a crumpet is to understand cricket!

I thought of Moblins from Zelda when Bronson Reid threw that guy at Braun!! Haha throw a Boko at him!!!
Hope we get a Big E comeback!
Simon give yourself a Golden Up and keep smashing it 💪
"It was me Rhea! It was me all along!" 😂
Sheamus must be great froends with everyone then Simon😂
Right!
Greatest episode of ups and downs
The new day stuff makes even more sense when you factor in that Big E and X were the originators of the team and they brought Kofi in on the idea later.
American Made's vignette reminded me of Sgt Slaughter's 1990 WWF return promos...
Dominic and his mustache are a great team, but I can't wait until his mustache betrays Dom and forms its own faction.
Finaly able to watch ups and downs after my trip to norway!!
A simple nice touch from commentary, like they do in racing broadcasts, is talk a little about some history of an item or car. when they bust out a Shellaye (spellcheck) they could have Wade Barrett give a touch of historical context to the weapon.
Excited for this friday coming up. Going to smackdown in Sacramento ca. Last event i went to was the 2019 hell in a cell
Electromagnetism, gravity, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, the commercial break.
Judgment day and the Bloodline must now defend their respective tag team titles. With no Champions advantage now.
Thank you Simon
As soon as I saw the Braun Strowman segment, I immediately laughed thinking about what Simon was going to say in the review

WWE see how over Jey is right? He better win that title, Bron just got here, he’s got a long career ahead of him. GIVE JEY THE BELT, YEET!!!
Not going to happen he just won it
I agree, even if it’s only for a month and Bron wins it back at Survivor Series, I also say the same about Gunther and Sami, I think it would be a great story that Sami is the only one out of everyone in WWE to beat Gunther for a title…twice
Not gonna happen. This is just filler until he rejoins his brother
Not at all. I like Jey but someone like Bronn shouldn't lose to Jey. It's bad that he lost to Sami
Yea bron don’t even need a mid card belt jey should of been the one to beat Gunther, but it’s too late now bron not losing 🤷🏽♂️😂
It’s funny. When watching I was also distracted by Punk not closing his door. Drove the folks around me crazy because I talked about it for 30 minutes. 😂
Was at this show with my kid. The Strowman/Reed match was a hoot.

Monday Night Raw was great
The invisible finger with just the white on it showing up was kinda neat, actually lol
Braun and Bronson was 🔥
Fan with the Yeet shirt got Yeeted!
Dudes shirt said YEET, Bronson obliged
As someone who remembers the Io Bianca match from NXT all I can say is "Yes Please!"
Punk's "best in the world" merch looks odd considering there are people on that roster who are really stellar and that's no knock on Punk.
great good decent show as usual mr miller however.............PLEASE BRING BACK RETRO UPS AND DOWNS
The guy who took the Bronson throw deserves a contract, like the "security" guy who ate the Cross Rhodes on SmackDown a few months ago...
