Fake It Till You Make It, Liv Morgan | WWE Raw Review 12/15/25

Fake It Till You Make It, Liv Morgan | WWE Raw Review 12/15/25

On the December 15, 2025 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, Raquel Rodriguez stepped into her own power—and Liv Morgan didn’t hide her discomfort very well.

This episode breaks down:

  • Liv Morgan’s increasingly performative support of Raquel

  • Raquel choosing independence over protection

  • Judgment Day dynamics without Finn Bálor and JD McDonough

  • Nikki Bella’s interference and what it sets up next

  • Roxanne Perez is still eyeing Dominik Mysterio

  • Austin Theory’s underwhelming masked attacker reveal

This wasn’t a loud episode of Raw, but it was an honest one.

1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,520
Liv Morgan is still fake, fake,
fake, and Monday Night Raw made

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:08,440
that more clearer than ever.
Tonight was all about Raquel

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:14,360
stepping out on her own, and Liv
Morgan slowly, quietly, is not

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,440
liking that one bit.
Liv does not like Raquel going

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,960
after Stephanie Vicura's women's
world title.

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,080
She smiles, she claps, she's
saying all the right things.

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,320
But her body language, the
vibes, the drop smile when

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:32,400
Raquel turned her back, it's
obvious she's not liking it.

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,440
Dominic was happy for Raquel.
Liv, not so much.

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,040
Slipping, folks.
And so welcome, welcome.

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,040
My name is Writer Maven.
I am the host of the Wrestling

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,600
Receipts podcast.
I cover all things Judgment Day.

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:53,440
Dom, Liv, Raquel, Finn, JD,
Roxanne, Poor Carlito and El

14
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,960
Grande Americano, and most
Americanos who made their return

15
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,040
to Monday Night Raw tonight.
This RAW review is entitled Fake

16
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,720
it until you make it or Liv is
still fake, fake, fake.

17
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,360
There is a striking difference
between how Dom is treating

18
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,720
Raquel and how Liv is treating
Raquel.

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,280
Dom is happy for her.
During his interview during the

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,760
commercial break, he was really
hyping her up as someone to

21
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,480
bring gold back to the judgment
day.

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,360
But for Liv, she's not.
She was smile in Raquel's face,

23
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,080
but as soon as she turned her
back, that smile dropped.

24
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,600
It's very fake.
It's very obvious that she is

25
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,480
not liking Raquel going for the
title and she's also not liking

26
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,600
that Raquel wanted to go out
there on her own.

27
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,920
But it is really the parent that
Liv does not like Raquel's

28
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,760
autonomy.
She does not like that Raquel

29
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,800
wanted to go out there and prove
to herself and to live that she

30
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,400
can do it on her own.
And to be fair, Raquel has been

31
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,040
doing it on her own, so we will
have to keep watching Miss

32
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,520
Morgan and see if that mask
keeps slipping and if it starts

33
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,320
going into direct conflict with
Dominic and Roxanne.

34
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,720
Especially now that poor JD and
Finn are not there in the

35
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,440
Judgment Day clubhouse right
now.

36
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,240
But let's get into it, shall we?
First, a quick housekeeping note

37
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,520
before we get into the Monday
Night Raw drama.

38
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,760
JD posted that he was injured.
It looks like he was post

39
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,800
surgery.
He had a photo of this ground.

40
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,760
He had his hand wrapped up.
We wish JD McDonough the best.

41
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,680
I am a part of JD, see, and I
hate that he's injured.

42
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,040
But now that the men's storyline
between Dolphin and JD have

43
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,640
slowed down, then he's not
really needed as much.

44
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:39,200
So this is probably the best
time for him to get the surgery

45
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,240
right now because of this.
Finn was not there.

46
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,400
He was not there in a clubhouse.
And it looks like the dolphin

47
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,400
storyline is on pause.
That's fine, because if the

48
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,840
storyline had to pause for Liv
and we had to wait all these

49
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,960
months for Liv to get back, we
can wait on on Finn and JD to

50
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,720
get back.
I mean, we've waited this long.

51
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,400
It was another few months by now
and it looks like it was going

52
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,440
to get dragged to WrestleMania
anyway.

53
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,440
So if it pauses, it pauses.
This gives time for the women to

54
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,280
get built up.
That is sorely needed and I

55
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,680
could take a step back right
now.

56
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,200
The only thing I don't like is
that the Arm doesn't get as much

57
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,240
promos and segments and things
like that.

58
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,560
But hey, it is what it is.
Let's go and get into Raw, shall

59
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,320
we?
Starting off, we have a Dom

60
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,520
interview that happened during
the commercial break.

61
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,440
Of course, the Arm is talking to
Baron Saxon.

62
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,760
He's hyping himself up as the
greatest Mysterio of all time

63
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,760
because he was the last person
to pin John Cena.

64
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,560
But this is the sticking point.
Listen to what he said about

65
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,040
Raquel.
He says that she is going to

66
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,640
bring gold back to the group and
he is really hyping her up and

67
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,000
he's happy for.
He also mentions that Finn and

68
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,400
JD when they get back, they'll
be looking for some gold is too.

69
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,640
So he's hyping up everybody
wanting to bring gold back into

70
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,880
the judgement day.
So take what Dom is saying here

71
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,400
as Dom just being happy.
And it's really interesting that

72
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:05,960
Dom is not backing Lib here
because last week when Liv was

73
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,040
saying I didn't you say
anything, Dom did not back her

74
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,160
up on that.
And he hasn't been really

75
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,200
backing her up.
When Raquel has been wanting to

76
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,360
go for gold.
He's pretty much stayed out of

77
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,000
it or right as of now recently
been backing her up.

78
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,000
He hasn't expressed any
negativity regarding Raquel

79
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,800
going for the title.
It's not like if Raquel was

80
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,160
going for the title and he would
be just saying, oh, that's for

81
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,840
Liv.
He has not said that at all.

82
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:34,400
And I find that really
interesting.

83
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,560
And Tom also was kind of
sparring with Byron here.

84
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,280
Desperate Day doesn't need luck
before he walks off, which was

85
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:44,400
funny there.
Like I said, while Liv has a

86
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,080
problem with Raquel go for the
title, Dom obviously doesn't.

87
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,880
And now let's go into the
Judgment Day clubhouse.

88
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,200
This is where Liz Bass started
to slip further.

89
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,400
Dom is excited about the vision,
taking out his Debbie.

90
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,400
Dad talks about it's going to be
a great Christmas present.

91
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,120
Liv asks where was asking about
where Finn and JBD were.

92
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,920
Dom says that JD is going to be
out for a while, he's going to

93
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,280
be on the shelf and Finn is with
him because Liv was asking

94
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:18,000
you're going to have a great
Christmas.

95
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,120
But she asked where Finn is and
Dom said that JD is going to be

96
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,960
on the shelf.
Liv says we can focus on what's

97
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,320
positive for tonight, which is
her sister again with that

98
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,120
connotation there.
Raquel becoming the new women's

99
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,720
world champion.
Liv says that she can be in

100
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,960
Raquel's corner and Roxanne
cosigns this.

101
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,480
Raquel says that she knows that
they have her back, but she

102
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,600
wants to handle Stephanie on her
own.

103
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:46,200
Liv says that she can't wait for
Raquel to bring the title back

104
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,280
to the clubhouse as she and
Roxanne bring back the tag

105
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:52,360
titles.
Roxanne says that she needs to

106
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,840
handle Bailey 1st and when she
does, she and Lara B will be out

107
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,240
of the women's tag team picture.
Raquel says that she's happy Liv

108
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,880
is back and the titles are
coming back to Judgement Day and

109
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,840
Judgment Day runs raw and then
she leaves and this is where the

110
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,000
segment ends.
Now first of all, peep the

111
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,560
hilarity on the PlayStation Five
in the background where JD is

112
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,640
taking out Hulk Hogan.
That is just so random as fuck.

113
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,680
Peep Roxanne.
I'm Dom, she's still doing it.

114
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,720
And like as Halo said in the
comment earlier, Dom is squirt.

115
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,720
Dom has Liv and Roxanne posted
up there and that's just

116
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,440
amazing.
Like he beating the allegations

117
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,120
now.
Now you want to pay particular

118
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:47,400
attention to live in this
segment because the second

119
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,560
Raquel looks away, Liv drops the
smile.

120
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,880
It's like obvious like as soon
as like Roxanne is talking and

121
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,720
Raquel turns her attention to
Roxanne, Liv drops the smile.

122
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,760
And then when Raquel goes back,
the smile comes back up.

123
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,640
And then when Raquel is still
not really paying attention to

124
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:09,760
her, Liv has the fate smile on
her face.

125
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,520
Also peep that the really didn't
like that Raquel wanted to do

126
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,680
this on her own.
I'm sure that's going to be a

127
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,920
bone of contention that comes up
later like as a as I told you

128
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,560
so.
But she really didn't like

129
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,440
Raquel wanted to do that on her
own.

130
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,400
And like I said, when Raquel
left, she live has still had

131
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,360
that fakey type smile on her
face.

132
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:41,200
And it's obvious here again, the
split between Liv and Dom Dom is

133
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,760
genuine with his happiness and
his and encouragement of Raquel.

134
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,680
Same thing with Roxanne.
They are really hyped for her.

135
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,840
They're not being fake about it.
They are really wanting Raquel

136
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,600
to win and bring the women's
world title back to the

137
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,640
judgement day.
With Liv, it's it's she's not

138
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,000
liking it.
She doesn't like that Raquel is

139
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,200
going for the set, the title,
and the main thing is that

140
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,480
Raquel has an autonomy and she's
not liking it.

141
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,360
Raquel is not being that
bodyguard.

142
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,240
Raquel is not being that person
that is just taking orders

143
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,800
anymore.
Raquel is her own person.

144
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,040
And yeah, like I said, the
Roxanne is still Iron Dom.

145
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,880
It's being really obvious at
this point and I'm pretty sure

146
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,920
somebody else live fans are not
going to bring it up.

147
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,920
But she's still Iron that man.
Those seeds are being planted

148
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,120
there and it's probably going to
be a while before we get any

149
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,600
acknowledgement of that, but
it's there.

150
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,960
Like I said, they're going to
have some they're going to have

151
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,360
by the time it rolls back
around.

152
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,360
We're going to have a nice,
pretty nice product promo

153
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,680
package of Roxanne giving Donald
a look for all this time.

154
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,440
And now we get into the women's
world title match between Raquel

155
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,480
and Stephanie.
Raquel.

156
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,440
Raquel comes out with new gear.
She looks great.

157
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,160
I love it.
I love the look.

158
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,600
I don't share with the body
stocking.

159
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,120
I think that was kind of
slipping down, but she's been

160
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,480
looking great and I I have no
problem with big money cool with

161
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:10,240
gear wise.
Stephanie was out first, which

162
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,040
was interesting, but they went
and start having their Max

163
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,040
Raquel proceeds to show off all
her power moves.

164
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,000
She could just catch Stephanie
Hoyster up until a stalling

165
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,560
vertical suplex and pretty much
slam her down onto her stomach.

166
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,480
She's been doing those power
moves.

167
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,840
I love her.
I don't the match did not get

168
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:33,000
out of first gear, but I'm
thinking they're saving what

169
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,440
they want to do in the match for
the next iteration of the match,

170
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,200
which I think it's going to be
the triple threat match, which

171
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,840
I'm going to get into later.
But I think they're not do

172
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,840
showing all what they can do at
this particular moment.

173
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,600
I think they're holding back.
So it shows in the match where

174
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,480
it was decent, but Raquel was
able to still do her power moves

175
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,800
and stuff like that.
And if it had not been for

176
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:02,320
Nikki, who shows up towards the
end to take out Stephanie and

177
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,320
Raquel, then we might not know
if Raquel would have won this

178
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,720
match or not.
But so towards the end when both

179
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,520
Raquel and Stephanie were on us,
Nikki comes through the crowd,

180
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,480
attacks Stephanie, attacks
Raquel, and then she throws

181
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,680
Stephanie back into the ring and
hits the racket Pack 2 point O

182
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,240
to make a statement.
And then later in an interview

183
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:29,800
backstage with Jackie Redman,
Nikki's is all in her feelings

184
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,600
saying that she's legend, she be
she should be treated like 1 and

185
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,680
that Stephanie and Raquel should
be shining her boots and that

186
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,600
was that.
I do think we are heading to a

187
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,560
triple threat match between
Stephanie, Raquel and Nikki and

188
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:50,160
I think this is how they get the
title office Stephanie.

189
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,040
Stephanie will lose by Raquel
pinning Nikki.

190
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,560
Nikki's going to take that pin.
I don't think Lib is going to

191
00:10:57,560 --> 00:11:00,160
get in there yet.
Lib, I think it's going to be in

192
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,960
there for the Royal Rumble or
Elimination Chamber.

193
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,560
So if she's not getting Royal
Rumble, she'll get the

194
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:13,080
Elimination Chamber probably.
So we'll have that showdown.

195
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,080
So it'll be Raquel wins the
title at some point in the

196
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:22,320
future, Rocks Lib will win Royal
Rumble or elimination Chamber,

197
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,680
and then that was and then Liv
will choose Raquel as her

198
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,960
opponent for the title.
Like I said, what Nikki's

199
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,440
interference.
I do think this is going to be a

200
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,200
bone of contention in the future
where Liv can be able to say, I

201
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,200
told you so you needed me.
You gotta and that's probably

202
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,440
going to cause even more tension
between Liv and Raquel because

203
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,920
Raquel can all can fire back and
say Hey, I had it on my own

204
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,560
until is that the she could even
just say that was handling it.

205
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,720
Even though Nikki caused the
interference.

206
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,200
Who's to say that Lib or Roxanne
would have been able to prevent

207
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,960
Nikki from causing an AQ because
Nikki went right after

208
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,720
Stephanie's.
Oh yeah, and I totally called

209
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,360
Nikki interfering.
So I put that prediction out.

210
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,480
I said that yesterday.
I put it out today.

211
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:11,760
So I got that prediction right.
So scoreboard other quick hits

212
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:17,560
for all we had doctor get booed
out the building and taunted AJ

213
00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:20,480
Styles.
It remains to be seen if he

214
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:23,240
maintains that heat.
I don't think 1 country is going

215
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,040
to maintain that heat.
It's not going to.

216
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,160
I don't think he's going to be
like a dog who was able to carry

217
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,080
his heat for months.
I think it's he's going to get

218
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,040
that initial heat and then it's
going to die off because like I

219
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,960
said, he's not even the third
most interesting person on Raw

220
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,040
right now.
Usos beat New Day and why the

221
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,280
fuck do they not have them come
out to their tag team theme?

222
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:50,800
Why is it still Jay's theme of
it's just me use treating Jimmy

223
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,800
filthy?
I don't like that Jay is the one

224
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,600
that failed.
Jay is the one that got sloppy.

225
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,400
Jay is the one that got blown up
doing Yeats, so why is it that

226
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,720
Jimmy got to carry his ass?
Jimmy could have had a nice

227
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,600
singles run on his own because
he's a better wrestler and a

228
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:26,960
better USO, and he's still
having to hold the bag for Jay,

229
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:38,720
right?
While I wasn't holding her, she

230
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,040
managed to bend herself into her
Karana attempt.

231
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,920
It was really interesting.
Like, it's just her Karana.

232
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,200
I don't know what that is, but
she was throwing out some really

233
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,080
innovative moves.
Like I'm like, damn.

234
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,000
Like she was tossing them out
there.

235
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,280
They look clean.
They look fresh.

236
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,680
It's obvious that the work she's
been putting into Natalia's

237
00:13:56,680 --> 00:14:00,440
dungeon has been really paying
off because she was throwing out

238
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,240
those spots where she got to be
a submission with the ankle

239
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,080
lock.
And I really like how it's not

240
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,600
just the standing ankle lock
like her ankle and Chad Gable

241
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,360
do.
It's more of a length.

242
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,360
She'll get them into the ankle
lock and then she lays down with

243
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,480
it where she interlocks her legs
over their legs while they're in

244
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,840
the ankle lock.
And I think that's a really more

245
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:25,120
effective submission maneuver
for her because she's using her

246
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,920
long legs for that.
I really like that.

247
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,480
So she meant she retained the
championship and that was a good

248
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,400
first match for her.
It remains to be seen if Roxanne

249
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,200
gets back in there sometime, but
I really hope she does.

250
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,120
Rhea and EO were taken out by
Oscar and Carrie.

251
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,800
Rhea and EO were coming down to
the ring and when Oscar was in

252
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,920
the crowd and then pretty much
blue misted Rhea and then Rhea

253
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,760
and and then not Rhea and then
Oscar and Kyrie started taking

254
00:14:54,760 --> 00:15:01,400
out Rhea and EO and then Oscar
drags Rhea into the ring.

255
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:07,880
Kyrie goes up to the top rope to
do the insane elbow, but EO get

256
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,200
back into the ring and covers
Rhea.

257
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,600
So Kyrie's insane elbow hits EO
in the back, which was looking

258
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:21,040
really gnarly.
And so we got that nice little

259
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,240
bit of friendship with EO
protecting Ria from that insane

260
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,160
elbow.
We also got Bailey Blit

261
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,640
personality coming back because
she was really down to herself

262
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,800
because she lost to someone with
less experienced than her.

263
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,080
And then Ira started wishing and
showing her talking about

264
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,120
because Bailey was saying that
Oscar is right.

265
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,440
And I was saying, really, this
takes us, you know, just one

266
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,200
loss to feel sorry for yourself.
She starts pushing and shoving

267
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,840
her.
And this is when we get like

268
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,000
stupid idiot Bailey coming out,
yelling at Lyra when you're

269
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,800
walking off and and then Lyra's
like, oh, she's back.

270
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,520
So I think Lyra's and figured
out lately has this split

271
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,040
personality and she's probably
going to start using it to her

272
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,880
advantage pretty soon.
Also Logan Paul defeated Rey

273
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,640
Mysterio, CM Punk chased all
Bronson and Breaker earlier but

274
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:15,280
the mass man came out and
attacked Ray helping Logan Paul

275
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,880
win.
The Mass man is then revealed to

276
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,320
be Austin Theory and that was
Uncle Matic as fuck because

277
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,600
Austin Theory had this weird
buzz cut and he looked like he

278
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,000
was out of prison and no wonder
Don is happy because that's his

279
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,960
best buddy helping beat his
deadbeat dad and that was wrong.

280
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,920
So final raw throat.
Liv is showing her true colors

281
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,720
and that mask is slipping more
and more.

282
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,640
It's really obvious that she
does not want Raquel going for

283
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,360
the title and he's probably
going to rub Raquel's nose and

284
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,280
the fact that like he did come
out there to cost her her title.

285
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,920
Dom and Roxanne are showing that
they are happy for Raquel and

286
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,080
they are not siding with Liv
just yet.

287
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:03,360
We're not seeing Dom being
really obvious with supporting

288
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,640
Liv on this discomfort.
So he's not with Liv like doing

289
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,640
licks, you know, we've seen Dom
do looks behind people's backs

290
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:14,880
where he agrees or doesn't
agree, but he's not doing that.

291
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,800
He's been showing support for
Raquel.

292
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,880
Roxanne has been showing support
for Raquel.

293
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:25,240
Roxanne still has eyes for Dom,
of course Raquel, I think it's

294
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,040
on a collision course, collision
course for gold.

295
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,520
And I do think she is going to
be getting that title soon.

296
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,120
Some people were saying, am I
not going to lie, that Lib will

297
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:36,640
win it first and then Raquel
will be the first challenger and

298
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,800
I think that would be so not
that would be unfair to Raquel

299
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,880
because Lib has already won the
title.

300
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,280
She's already had the title.
She's been a two time champ by

301
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,720
now.
She can wait a little bit Now.

302
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,600
I don't like saying to be
waiting patient.

303
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,360
You know me, I don't say to
wait.

304
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,240
I don't say you have to be
patient.

305
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,200
But for this storyline, I think
Raquel needs to win it first

306
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,240
because Raquel being the first
challenger to live means that

307
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,800
she just loses.
And then there's your feud.

308
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,240
Meanwhile, while Raquel wins at
1st and she wins it early

309
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:14,240
enough, like cutting this coming
up two year 2026, so by the time

310
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,920
they head to WrestleMania, which
I do think that's where they're

311
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,720
going to have said match, then
you would have built up the feud

312
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,880
by this point.
Now, I don't put a lot of space

313
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,040
in Triple H, but at least that
gives them enough time to set up

314
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,160
that feud between Raquel and
Liv.

315
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:35,480
Liv just winning it now does
nothing for Raquel's story and

316
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:41,360
Raquel's history with Liv.
And because of that, and like I

317
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:43,320
said, Liv is still like it's
going to have a problem with

318
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,280
Raquel trying to go for the
goal.

319
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,440
And it remains to be seen if
Logan Paul is next in line for

320
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,360
Dominic's championship.
And it'll be interesting if he

321
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:56,240
starts trying to play for the
Intercontinental Championship.

322
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,280
But we have to wait right now.
Don is just happy that division

323
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,360
took out Ray Ray.
So we it remains to be seen if

324
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:04,200
Logan Paul is going to be going
for it right now.

325
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:10,000
And that was raw.
Like I said, we got enough

326
00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:12,800
storyline advancement.
This is mostly between Raquel,

327
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:18,120
Liv, Raquel and live and we are
just seeing how the storyline is

328
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:21,160
shaping up.
Dom Story is on pause right now

329
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,560
and probably for the best.
I'm not sure what they're doing

330
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,200
with Logan Paul.
I'm not going to share what they

331
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,720
were going to do with Finn and
JD.

332
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,280
So right now he's probably on
pause until next year.

333
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,000
And this is December anyway, so
everything is slowing down and

334
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,600
things are being tape recorded,
so it's not like Don could do

335
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,040
that much anyway right now.
So it's fine.

336
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,880
It's cool.
It'll be interesting if we get

337
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,720
another Judgment Day Clubhouse
Christmas card like they did

338
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,360
last year where Finn was acting
like a demon.

339
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:49,680
So we'll see.
Oh, that's it.
