For the first time in a minute for Monday Night Raw, I was home watching.

(I was also tryna cook some fried rice. Any brehs that know how to keep rice from becoming mushy during the cooking part, let me know)

My takes from the episode:

— Between all the character development with Judgement Day and this shyt with Truth, Priest’s eventual face run is gonna go so much better than the first time around.

— This is the first time where it legit feels like multiple people could win either rumble match, and I like that shyt.

— I noticed they’re branching Rhea away from JD a little more often. Specifically, away from Dom (At least on camera). Maybe gearing up for her face turn too, maybe just deciding she’s over enough that she doesn’t need the association as much.

— DIY/The Way were never gonna get over with presence or mic work (Ciampa might’ve, but he needs someone that people care about to bounce off of), so in ring work is definitely the way to go.

— Jey Uso vs GUNTHER is gonna feed families.

— aight, man. This Seth shyt gotta end at some point.

I’m a big HHH guy

but rumble is one week from Sunday and they’ve only announced the two rumble matches and between the two rumbles, and the Roman 4 way, between the two rumbles maybe like 10 total people announced
That's just typical WWE. The Rumbles and the 4-way are the selling points, everything else is just there to fill time.

You have to use day old rice.

Seth's title reign has jumped the shark which is funny considering Roman has been a champion way longer. It's just not interesting. His promos are bland and he kicks out of everyone's finishers and then pops up and hits a curb stomp.
Last time he was interesting was as a tweener heel on top of Vince desk begging for a WM match :beli:

Get a rice maker or a combo Air fryer...does the work for you.

The winner of the Rumble has to be the Rebel or the Rock if it's not a tease out.

Not sure what the endgame is for Drew though. Cody is not winning back to back.

As seen during the January 15th 2024 edition of WWE RAW, a different stage and setup was used for the event but it was only a temporary change. According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, WWE had to use the “house show” set due to weather restrictions with The Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock, Arkanas and it was not a matter of WWE cutting back on production costs.

Johnson explained the situation…

PWInsider.com is told that that the venue, which opened back in 1999, was not structured in a way that could support the company’s current lighting rigs, which hang from the ceiling of the venues, due to concern about the amount of snow sitting atop the arena from the weather conditions Arkansas and a lot of other places are dealing with this week. Instead, WWE utilized a lighting truss that was supported by towers erected from the ground up.”
