What did you all think of the first Raw after Wrestlemania? Where do you think the storyline goes from here?

In short:
- Cody Rhodes asks Roman Reigns for a rematch, (kinda embarrassing and weak if you ask me).
- Roman refuses and then suggests a tag team match.
- Brock Lesnar agrees to be Cody’s partner.
- Before the fight starts, Brock Lesnar turns on Cody and F5s him through the announce table and then on the steel steps.

Are they just burying Cody? Are they setting up a Cody/Brock feud? Is Vince McMahon back in charge of creative?

I don’t know, I feel like I’ve beaten the dead horse about how disappointing the result of Wrestlemania was … What are your predictions for where the storyline goes from here?
 
To answer your question, most places reporting that Vince ran that Raw entirely, first time since he "stepped down."

On that note, let's think about that. Dude "stepped down" then came back, sold his company, and somehow managed to come out equally or more powerful in it lol.

Fuckin A man, shit just works different when you're rich.
 
Also if you want a giggle and haven't already, Google Vince's new look.

Dyed hair, funny mustache, looks like Vincent Price dead ringer... also looks like he might be trying to hide a botched cosmetic procedure, them cheeks look pumped and stretched lol.

I'd post it but that needs to be deliberate viewing only, spoiler tags aren't even enough. You gotta want to see it, I ain't forcing it on anyone lolol
 
Cody is garbage so it really doesn't matter.

The 2023 version of Cody Rhodes has Star power. If you can’t see that, I don’t know what to tell you, lol.

Nah. He has big pyro, a terrible song and a terrible outfit.

No one cares about that lispy dyed hair crybaby. He's a flavor of the month. Mid-card boring can who will win the title as an act of charity from HHH and drop it and no one will care.

He sold more merch than any other wrestler on Wrestlemania weekend. He is already the peoples’ champion.

I just hope that bad booking doesn’t damage his momentum … as WWE might be in “danger” of creating a new star :rolleyes:

I stopped watching with my sons and have been a casual for a few years now. This RAW was the first I've seen in a while. It looks like Vince wants to use Brock to put Cody over (as if he wasn't already lol) the same way he still uses Cena to put over damned near anyone. I hate when he does this, it just neuters some of the best performers. Vince needs to permanently give creative to Tripps before it's too late. And what the hell happened to Seth Rollins? God, what a horrible character. Bring back the Architect.

Why don't you think that a character whose only attribute is laughing like a cheap Joker rip off, is horrible? Dude, he laughs and makes funny faces. Won Lockhear the Oscar! Seth needs an Emmy at least.
