2025-01-07 20:46:11 +0000 UTCAnd then they said “Both? Yeah let’s do it!”
Christopher Hendrix
2025-01-07 18:29:17 +0000 UTCit was never made official for tonight, just a challenge made last week
Joel Pearl
2025-01-07 03:20:23 +0000 UTCWasnt new day and Rey tag match supposed to happen tonight
Pete Evans
2025-01-07 02:08:51 +0000 UTCHe is, because of course he is.
Francis
2025-01-07 01:06:49 +0000 UTCWWE have announced on their Twitter page he's back tonignt
TriSarahTops
2025-01-07 00:40:47 +0000 UTCI’d hope not.
Chance
2025-01-07 00:40:34 +0000 UTCNo, he’s always been there. The picture that was going around is edited to say he got added to the raw roster website when he didn’t
Abby Branch
2025-01-07 00:40:00 +0000 UTCDid Brock really get added back to the roster?
Chance
2025-01-07 00:38:37 +0000 UTCVery interested to see where Wyatt Sicks & Final Testament are tonight. Surely they have something planned for them.
NeganMOX
2025-01-07 00:38:05 +0000 UTCNo Penta?
Trill
2025-01-07 00:37:43 +0000 UTCSSR said the “Triple H welcome to WWE” stuff is usually not on rundowns. So I still expect him to open. Time will tell.
Tori Melching
2025-01-07 00:31:45 +0000 UTCI don’t believe that, Netflix broadcast cuties after all
Justmask
2025-01-07 00:22:59 +0000 UTCJacob Fatu unleashed on Hogan would be another one. Though they would get cheered and they wouldn't want that...
Robbie Wray
2025-01-07 00:13:47 +0000 UTCI believe a 3+ minute video package narrated by HHH is leading off, at least that's what I interpreted from the Tweet this morning. Fightful/Sean know better than I would though
Robbie Wray
2025-01-07 00:11:46 +0000 UTCI'm surprised Triple H isn't starting the show off.
Alex
2025-01-07 00:08:40 +0000 UTCSteph is also backstage
Tori Melching
2025-01-07 00:06:42 +0000 UTCYeah they did
Collin Ingram
2025-01-06 23:59:05 +0000 UTCNetflix told WWE they had a choice. They could spotlight a racist and his flat beer or they could bring back someone who laughs and films dead Japanese suicide victims for entertainment. However Netflix said they can’t do both
david gardner
2025-01-06 23:58:52 +0000 UTCwhat about Logan Paul?
Jeffrey Pollard
2025-01-06 23:52:13 +0000 UTCI thought they were
RoRo
2025-01-06 23:51:37 +0000 UTCThey never said that
Osuman Massaquoi
2025-01-06 23:50:27 +0000 UTCOne can wish
Keith Times
2025-01-06 23:49:52 +0000 UTCSo has the tag match of new day and rey ?? Been scrapped?
Stewart McAloney
2025-01-06 23:38:49 +0000 UTCThought new day v Rey and his partner was tonight
Fire man
2025-01-06 23:33:22 +0000 UTCI’d be willing to bet they’re keeping surprises tight because man this seems light for a “Wrestlemania” Type show
Cock…THE JOHNSON…Dick!
2025-01-06 23:28:31 +0000 UTCI’ve been trying to book Flairs last match against Jacob Fatu as well
Trevor D.
2025-01-06 23:27:53 +0000 UTCHow would you like a job for WWE creative?
Brad Woodard
2025-01-06 23:26:48 +0000 UTCReally hoping Gunther interrupts Hulk Hogan and power-bombs him
Luis Garibay
2025-01-06 23:26:12 +0000 UTCDwayne ain't about sitting around all night 😂
TorchCrawler
2025-01-06 23:25:43 +0000 UTCDom and Raquel are banned from ringside aren’t they?
Joe
2025-01-06 23:24:36 +0000 UTCBiggest disappointment is no producer for the Hogan segment. Was hoping Gunther would power bomb him until the stream ended.
Trevor D.
2025-01-06 23:23:59 +0000 UTCReally surprising that Roman/Solo/Rock doesn’t close. Nice change of pace tbh.
