Liv Morgan Cost Raquel Rodriguez the Title | Raw Fallout Review
Monday Night Raw may have just destroyed Raquel Rodriguez’s momentum.
Liv Morgan promised support — then became the distraction that cost Raquel the Women’s World Title opportunity. Afterward, Liv staked her WrestleMania claim, leaving Raquel with no clear path forward.
I break down:
• Liv Morgan’s manipulation of Raquel
• Why Raquel has no sympathy or killer booking
• Dominik Mysterio’s underwhelming return
• Finn Bálor’s best promo — and WWE ignoring it
• Roxanne Perez being forgotten again
• Where Judgment Day goes next

00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,480
Did Liv Morgan just cause Raquel
Rodriguez the World championship
2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,720
because Raquel told Liv she
wanted to win on her own?
3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,200
Liv came back out anyway, and
that distraction was all
4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,800
definitely for care needed to
take advantage.
5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,320
And then, And then Liv
immediately capitalized by
6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,120
hitting the oblivion on an
exhausted champion and staking
7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,920
her claim.
So now the question isn't
8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,560
whether Liv is going to
WrestleMania.
9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,080
The question is, what does
Raquel do now?
10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,880
And somehow in all of this,
Dominic Mysterio finally returns
11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,440
and barely matters.
So welcome.
12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,640
Welcome.
My name is Writer Maven.
13
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,720
I am the host of the rest of the
Receipts podcast, Things
14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:45,440
Judgment Day, Dom Lib, Raquel,
then JD, Roxanne Poor Carlito,

El Gladio Americano, Los
Americanos, El Gladio Americano,
16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,480
Originale and AEW 2.
And when I say I cover all
17
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,400
things Judgment Day, I mean all
of Judgment Day.
18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,000
This Monday Night Raw review was
entitled.
19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,000
Was it an accident or
accidentally on purpose?
20
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:08,240
As a Raquel Rodriguez fan, I am
extremely pissed off on her
21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,120
behalf.
Tonight.
22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,040
We could have had a Raquel
Rodriguez win the Woman's World
23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,360
Championship and set up a real
emotionally charged viewed
24
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,000
heading into WrestleMania
against Liv Morgan.
25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,240
Instead, we're heading toward
Liv Morgan versus Stephanie
26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,800
Vercure, which, no shade, feels
heatless and dry as fuck.
27
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,200
And the worst part?
This doesn't meaningfully
28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,120
advance the Jesmit Day
storyline.
29
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,440
If anything is delayed, it
possibly past WrestleMania.
30
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,520
And yes, we'll talk about Dom
too because his big return
31
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,880
amounted to about 5 minutes of
nothing.
32
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,600
But let's get started showing
pre raw observations.
33
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,920
Judgment Day is shown on the
back of a production truck.
34
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,840
We see Finn, Diddy, Roxanne and
Raquel.
35
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,240
There was no Dom, no live.
People are saying this means
36
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,080
separation, but remember last
year Dom and Liv had their own
37
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,920
production trucks.
Two production trucks actually,
38
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,720
and they were still in the
judgment day.
39
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Finn was also on trucks before.
There have always been some kind
40
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,600
of highlight of production
trucks featuring different
41
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,760
people.
Just because umm, Dom and Lib on
42
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,440
on this particular production
truck doesn't mean they're not
43
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,640
going to be on others.
And it eats.
44
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,960
It remains to be seen if they're
going to be together on a
45
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,800
production check truck like last
year or separated.
46
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,760
Because right now Liz is a Royal
Rumble winner.
47
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,360
She might have her own
production truck, something to
48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,440
keep an eye on.
But don't just, you know, feed
49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,960
into the the thinking that just
because Liv and Dom aren't a
50
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,560
part of Jesmond Day on this
particular production truck
51
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,720
means that they're separating
from Jesmond Day.
52
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,600
I mean, they might, but that's
not an indication of everything.
53
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,400
Let's go ahead and get it into
Raw.
54
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,160
First up, we had Finn Balor's
promo.
55
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:08,920
Finn has a nice video promo he
cut and it's like he cuts a fire
56
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:13,280
promo if Intense is focused and
he's grounded in his motivation.
57
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,560
He talking about respect, how he
gets respect.
58
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,880
But now he just seems like he
has to be the bad guy to get
59
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,520
anything done, get anything on
his own.
60
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,880
And he says that he's coming in
for CM Punk in the World
61
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,480
Championship.
And this is not a fully heel
62
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:31,040
promo, nor is it a fully faced
promo.
63
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,360
He's just driven.
He's kind of square in the
64
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,320
middle, kind of like a tweeter
almost.
65
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,280
But it's not like he's leaning
heel and it's not like he's
66
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,240
leaning face.
It's just a nice, really good
67
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,280
fire promo.
It's just this is a promo that
68
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,480
shows that Finn is reminding
everyone who he is.
69
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,280
He's the Prince, he is the
demon.
70
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,880
And I loved it, but
unfortunately you can always,
71
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,600
you can feel the WWE energy
shifting towards Punk versus
72
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Roman, which I will talk about,
which makes Finn feel like he's
73
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,760
just going to be a stop gap
between the eventual Finn and
74
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,480
Roman Reigns feud for
WrestleMania.
75
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,280
Next up we have a Lib and dump
segment.
76
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,240
Dominic Mysterio finally returns
from his injury and he looks
77
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,240
good.
He gets a dirty dump chant,
78
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,519
introduces Liv as the World
Rumble winner, his Garita, and
79
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:24,400
that's about it.
Will comes out and says that
80
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,640
she's going to wait before
choosing her WrestleMania proma
81
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,440
and then immediately brings out
Raquel causing her sister and
82
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,360
hype her up as a future
champion.
83
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,720
Realcom comes out looking
incredible.
84
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,680
Gear is leaning fully into the
Big Sexy nickname.
85
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,680
She is really channeling Kevin
Nash here.
86
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,080
And then Raquel says she only
has one question and asked her
87
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,880
why did you eliminate me?
And live gaslights her as fuck,
88
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,280
tells her that you know Raquel
will win the upcoming title
89
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:53,080
match.
And Raquel is happy about this
90
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,360
is still calling live sister.
But she says something
91
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,960
important.
She says that she wants to win
92
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,440
on her own.
And he tells Liv to stay in the
93
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,800
back.
But no she said live not dumb
94
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,720
live.
Some notes from this little
95
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:15,000
promo, because it does go
straight into the the Raquel
96
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,160
versus Stephanie match is that
Louis was just gaslighting the
97
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,880
fuck out of Raquel.
I mean, I guess we're going to
98
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,880
do this whole almost like Dom
thing, but even Dom wasn't
99
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,840
really gaslighting fan during
this time.
100
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:27,760
This is more like little
gaslighting Raquel.
101
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,160
Don was actually pretty
supportive of Raquel here.
102
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,240
You know, he you know, Raquel
went to give him a hug, which
103
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,160
was nice.
So we and I just noticed that,
104
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,160
you know, you're not seeing
something where if you feel like
105
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,920
somebody is shifting away from
you that you would know you'd be
106
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,760
like standoffish or something
like that.
107
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,520
I didn't get that from Dom at
least going towards Raquel right
108
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:58,160
now and Dom himself during this
whole time, I just felt like he
109
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,520
was there only to hype live.
And I do have a problem with
110
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,320
that because I don't like Dom in
this role.
111
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,440
He's going back into that
boyfriend role.
112
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Maria and I will talk about that
a little bit.
113
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:12,960
Then we're up with the Raquel
Rodriguez versus standing for
114
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,320
care for the women's world
title.
115
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,120
This was a great hard hitting
match.
116
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,520
Raquel targeted Stephanie's
ankle weapons were used to pace.
117
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,240
It was solid.
The finish comes with Bill comes
118
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,280
out to to ham Raquel the title.
That distraction let's Stephanie
119
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:29,440
Dr. Raquel into the ring post
parks and comes out tries to
120
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,080
help and get shoved through the
table.
121
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:35,560
She takes this table spot and
just kind of like it shoved off
122
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,280
the ring pose onto the table
that's was set up on the ground
123
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:41,280
there.
Raquel recovers briefly, goes
124
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:44,560
for a powerbomb off the
turnbuckle, but Stephanie
125
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,560
counter sitting Raquel through
the table and then Stephanie
126
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,800
hits the startle tab and
Stephanie wins.
127
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,160
After the Mets, Liv hits the
oblivion on Stephanie and holds
128
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,960
up the title, seemingly making
her choice.
129
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,600
My issues with this, I hate
Stephanie overcoming the odds of
130
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,240
Raquel.
I don't like it when we have it
131
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,680
where we've been having the face
been beat down so long.
132
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,360
It's a Cody Rhodes thing where
the face gets beat down so much
133
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,840
and then they automatically
recover just to win.
134
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,000
I don't like that, you know,
just Raquel is looking good.
135
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,840
She's looking strong and then
Stephanie kind of recovers in
136
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,640
towards the end just to get the
win.
137
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,040
I know she Raquel was distracted
by live here, but still I don't
138
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,000
like that out of recovery.
Raquel looks weak for falling
139
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,360
again, like she's gone through
three losses now and looks weak
140
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,320
as fuck because she can't win
the win big one.
141
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,080
And that's that Drew McIntyre
situation I was talking about
142
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,160
Raquel takes a tape, not Raquel
Brooks and takes this table spot
143
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,280
and was immediately forgotten
about.
144
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,000
She takes that spot.
You can barely see it on TV and
145
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,040
she was gone.
We have kind of costing Raquel
146
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,960
doesn't help Raquel story.
It doesn't advance it
147
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,040
significantly.
It's not something where Raquel
148
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,760
can be really, really mad about,
nor is it enough where will is
149
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,200
you know where it can establish
Raquel for future few future
150
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,920
storyline or whatever.
It's it doesn't help it enough
151
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,600
going into this we have after
this is CM Punk and the Roman
152
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,880
Romans Pomo.
I was ignoring this because it's
153
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,160
CM Punk and roll amaze.
I know that they were just going
154
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,560
to talk shit to each other back
and forth.
155
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,040
The only time I'm the only time
I'm mentioning it now and why
156
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,280
I'm mentioning it now is because
Punk did take the time to talk
157
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,080
shit about Finn in the middle of
his promo against Roman Reigns.
158
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,600
So I did like that.
Like he wasn't overlooking been
159
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,600
here.
He took time out of that promo
160
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,520
back and forth with Roller Ray
to talk shit to to you for the
161
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,320
Lord, and that's good.
But let's be real, Finn is
162
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,240
probably still going to lose
this feud.
163
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,720
So you got CM Punk and Roman
Reigns getting set up for
164
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,880
WrestleMania and Finn is trying
to shoot his shot but he's
165
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,800
getting over.
You know he's going to get lost
166
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,120
in all the hype between CM Punk
and Roman Reigns and I'll get
167
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,360
into that later too.
Some Raw quick pics before I get
168
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,120
into some thoughts.
Braun Breaker throws A tantrum
169
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,040
at the start of Raw.
Adam Pierce cooked them on the
170
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,840
mic saying that he's going to
allow Braun Breaker to stay on
171
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,440
Raw after that, his poor
performance at the Royal Rumble.
172
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,760
I cackled heartily at that
because Braun Breaker was just.
173
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,880
He was just so livid he tried to
go after Adam Pierce.
174
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,240
He falls and stumbles trying to
get through the future WWS to
175
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,800
get to Adam Pierce.
And then this is where Ellen
176
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,800
Knight comes to the crowd and
attacks division with the chair
177
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,320
before taking off again.
Yvonne Evans beats El Grande
178
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,040
Americano after El Grande
Americano Original causes a
179
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:53,520
distraction and gets El Gande
Americano pinned and say that
180
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:58,320
three times fast.
Gunther mocked AJ Styles after
181
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,840
he retired him.
Gun Dragon Lee steps up to
182
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,840
defend Uncle Alan's honor and
gets choked out for his efforts
183
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,080
over Family Debut and destroys
the War Raiders and they say
184
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,560
that he's a free agent so he
hasn't been signed to Raw or
185
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:16,880
Smack Down just yet.
Pinta beat Bronson Reed by
186
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,840
Cantel after LA Knight comes
back again after Adam Pierce
187
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,600
said that he has sent him home,
he attacks Bronson.
188
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,000
I think it did BFT hit.
He hits that on Bronson Reed on
189
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,840
the chair on the outside where
it made it where Bronson Reed
190
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,000
gets counted out because he
couldn't get it back in the ring
191
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,800
and Pinta wins.
So that's that.
192
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,880
Here are the my raw thoughts
over the night.
193
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,960
I genuinely feel really, really
bad for Raquel.
194
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,760
This is why I say I cover all
the things.
195
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,800
Just my day.
I'm just not covering things
196
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,840
just for live.
I'm not covering things just for
197
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,560
Dom.
Even though Dom is my brother
198
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:53,880
die and I love him to death.
I care about all the people of
199
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,000
Desmond Day.
And so here I'm feeling really
200
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,280
sorry for Raquel.
Unlike Finn, who can vivid into
201
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,480
a face term just because of how
he's been booked recently,
202
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,120
Raquel has no sympathy booking
to make her a face or killer
203
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,320
heal bookie to make her a heal.
She just kind of there.
204
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,800
She just made to look like an
idiot and made to look like a
205
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,240
chump so Liv can get into this
child match, what she was going
206
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,400
to get, but Raquel has nothing
to show for it now.
207
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,160
So what does Raquel do now?
Because every path that I see
208
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:33,040
for Raquel ends up in some kind
of loss if he enters the
209
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,840
Elimination Chamber and wins
because AAA says that is changed
210
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,880
in the winter, can choose
whichever champion.
211
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,640
So it's not like restricted to
the other person.
212
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,240
Other title belt now is just
open for everybody.
213
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,920
If she wins the Elimination
Chamber, she probably ends eats
214
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,400
the pen at WrestleMania.
If they make it a triple dirt
215
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,680
match between her, Liv and
Stephanie.
216
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,960
If she challenges Liv after
WrestleMania, which will it be
217
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,640
extending this feud for the
longest time?
218
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,960
Champions rarely lose their
first offense, so if Liv wins at
219
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,600
WrestleMania and Raquel is the
first defense after it, she's
220
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,440
not going to win there.
If she fused with Liv now, like
221
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,440
say she decides to break free of
Judgment Day and start feuding
222
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,040
with Liv now, she'll probably
lose here.
223
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,840
The only option I see for Raquel
is her costing Liv at
224
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,040
WrestleMania so they could
continue to feud without the
225
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,200
title, but I don't see that how
that's going to happen.
226
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,240
Like that's the only thing where
I can see is like, Liv talks all
227
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,640
the shit, she gets into the feud
with Stephanie and she gets all
228
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,640
the way down to WrestleMania and
that's when Raquel decides to
229
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,200
cost her and then so they can
start their feud.
230
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,960
But then why would you start
that view with No title?
231
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,240
You see what I mean?
It's like everything looks for a
232
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,000
loss for Raquel and that's why I
was pushing so hard for Raquel
233
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,120
to win here because she could
have this belt for a little bit.
234
00:12:57,560 --> 00:12:59,320
Stephanie would lose nothing.
She was going to lose at
235
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,360
WrestleMania anyway.
So you know, what's the point?
236
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,600
What you know, what would be the
harm of Raquel holding the title
237
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,400
for a little bit going into
WrestleMania?
238
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,400
And like I said, and I'll say
what my whole chest a Liv versus
239
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,880
Stephanie feud at at its core
right now, it will be dry as
240
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,000
fuck and bland as fuck and
heatless as fuck.
241
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,720
There's no storyline there.
There's no feud, there's no
242
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,920
history.
What is she going?
243
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,880
What does Liv want to say?
I am the greatest of all time.
244
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,360
And then we got to listen to
Stephanie with her English, her
245
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,120
limited English skills because
she's improving, but it's still
246
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,640
limited.
Trying to make a few.
247
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:42,880
This is the problem that Eel Sky
had with the Bianca and Rea and
248
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,400
Eel feud last year.
Even though the even though the
249
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,000
match was straight fire and it
was great.
250
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,760
I'm not discounting the match.
The leading up to it.
251
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:59,760
The leading up to the feud was
was limited on Eels side because
252
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,560
you can only say so much.
So what does what does Raquel
253
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:05,600
do?
That brings me to Dom.
254
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,640
Dom returns from injury and
talks about for talks for 5
255
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,600
minutes.
That's it.
256
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,960
He should have been checking fan
for letting Punk call him
257
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,760
garbage.
He could have confronted Lib a
258
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,760
little bit, maybe softer, you
know, asking why she didn't
259
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,560
check then for allowing Punk to
call him garbage.
260
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,400
He should have been starting
something for himself, to
261
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,240
establish himself, post his
injuries, establish his
262
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,400
direction.
Instead, everything he did
263
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,400
tonight benefited Liv.
He slipped back into the
264
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,160
boyfriend role that he had with
Bria, and I'm not into it.
265
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,440
And then there's poor Roxanne.
Roxanne again disappears.
266
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,920
She takes the stables table spot
that you could barely see on TV.
267
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,400
And then there's nothing.
Her story needs to start
268
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,240
immediately.
Throw her into the icy title
269
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,440
picture.
Do something.
270
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,000
If you're going to be with Dom,
be with Dom.
271
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,280
I don't know, I don't care.
She needs to do something.
272
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,200
This is very worrying that she's
just doing these little bit
273
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,600
parts when when she could be
doing so much more.
274
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,480
What's up next for the judgement
Day?
275
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,200
Dom defends the AAA Mega
champions that red, the Reds.
276
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,480
If he wins, he probably will
view with the Grande Americano.
277
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,480
If he loses to Vikingo, Vikingo
will view with El Grande
278
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,560
Americano.
But on Monday Night Raw, we need
279
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,960
the clubhouse seems to return,
We need real conflict between
280
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,000
Liv and Raquel, and it needs to
significantly advance Finn and
281
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,280
Dom finally interacting and
Roxanne Story to actually begin.
282
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,120
The gaslighting era needs to
end.
283
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,000
Like we've been through this,
we've been through it for a
284
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,920
year.
Things need to significantly
285
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,360
advance and Finn needs to be
taken as a significant threat
286
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,560
because he shouldn't be just a
stopgap for CM Punk, but I feel
287
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,800
that that's just going to happen
for him and that's withdraw.
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,480
Did Liv Morgan just cause Raquel
Rodriguez the World championship
2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,720
because Raquel told Liv she
wanted to win on her own?
3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,200
Liv came back out anyway, and
that distraction was all
4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,800
definitely for care needed to
take advantage.
5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,320
And then, And then Liv
immediately capitalized by
6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,120
hitting the oblivion on an
exhausted champion and staking
7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,920
her claim.
So now the question isn't
8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,560
whether Liv is going to
WrestleMania.
9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,080
The question is, what does
Raquel do now?
10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,880
And somehow in all of this,
Dominic Mysterio finally returns
11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,440
and barely matters.
So welcome.
12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,640
Welcome.
My name is Writer Maven.
13
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,720
I am the host of the rest of the
Receipts podcast, Things
14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:45,440
Judgment Day, Dom Lib, Raquel,
then JD, Roxanne Poor Carlito,
15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,600
El Gladio Americano, Los
Americanos, El Gladio Americano,
16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,480
Originale and AEW 2.
And when I say I cover all
17
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,400
things Judgment Day, I mean all
of Judgment Day.
18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,000
This Monday Night Raw review was
entitled.
19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,000
Was it an accident or
accidentally on purpose?
20
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:08,240
As a Raquel Rodriguez fan, I am
extremely pissed off on her
21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,120
behalf.
Tonight.
22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,040
We could have had a Raquel
Rodriguez win the Woman's World
23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,360
Championship and set up a real
emotionally charged viewed
24
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,000
heading into WrestleMania
against Liv Morgan.
25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,240
Instead, we're heading toward
Liv Morgan versus Stephanie
26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,800
Vercure, which, no shade, feels
heatless and dry as fuck.
27
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,200
And the worst part?
This doesn't meaningfully
28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,120
advance the Jesmit Day
storyline.
29
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,440
If anything is delayed, it
possibly past WrestleMania.
30
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,520
And yes, we'll talk about Dom
too because his big return
31
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,880
amounted to about 5 minutes of
nothing.
32
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,600
But let's get started showing
pre raw observations.
33
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,920
Judgment Day is shown on the
back of a production truck.
34
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,840
We see Finn, Diddy, Roxanne and
Raquel.
35
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,240
There was no Dom, no live.
People are saying this means
36
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,080
separation, but remember last
year Dom and Liv had their own
37
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,920
production trucks.
Two production trucks actually,
38
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,720
and they were still in the
judgment day.
39
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Finn was also on trucks before.
There have always been some kind
40
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,600
of highlight of production
trucks featuring different
41
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,760
people.
Just because umm, Dom and Lib on
42
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,440
on this particular production
truck doesn't mean they're not
43
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,640
going to be on others.
And it eats.
44
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,960
It remains to be seen if they're
going to be together on a
45
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,800
production check truck like last
year or separated.
46
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,760
Because right now Liz is a Royal
Rumble winner.
47
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,360
She might have her own
production truck, something to
48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,440
keep an eye on.
But don't just, you know, feed
49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,960
into the the thinking that just
because Liv and Dom aren't a
50
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,560
part of Jesmond Day on this
particular production truck
51
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,720
means that they're separating
from Jesmond Day.
52
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,600
I mean, they might, but that's
not an indication of everything.
53
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,400
Let's go ahead and get it into
Raw.
54
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,160
First up, we had Finn Balor's
promo.
55
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:08,920
Finn has a nice video promo he
cut and it's like he cuts a fire
56
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:13,280
promo if Intense is focused and
he's grounded in his motivation.
57
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,560
He talking about respect, how he
gets respect.
58
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,880
But now he just seems like he
has to be the bad guy to get
59
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,520
anything done, get anything on
his own.
60
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,880
And he says that he's coming in
for CM Punk in the World
61
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,480
Championship.
And this is not a fully heel
62
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:31,040
promo, nor is it a fully faced
promo.
63
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,360
He's just driven.
He's kind of square in the
64
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,320
middle, kind of like a tweeter
almost.
65
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,280
But it's not like he's leaning
heel and it's not like he's
66
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,240
leaning face.
It's just a nice, really good
67
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,280
fire promo.
It's just this is a promo that
68
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,480
shows that Finn is reminding
everyone who he is.
69
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,280
He's the Prince, he is the
demon.
70
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,880
And I loved it, but
unfortunately you can always,
71
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,600
you can feel the WWE energy
shifting towards Punk versus
72
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Roman, which I will talk about,
which makes Finn feel like he's
73
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,760
just going to be a stop gap
between the eventual Finn and
74
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,480
Roman Reigns feud for
WrestleMania.
75
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,280
Next up we have a Lib and dump
segment.
76
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,240
Dominic Mysterio finally returns
from his injury and he looks
77
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,240
good.
He gets a dirty dump chant,
78
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,519
introduces Liv as the World
Rumble winner, his Garita, and
79
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:24,400
that's about it.
Will comes out and says that
80
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,640
she's going to wait before
choosing her WrestleMania proma
81
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,440
and then immediately brings out
Raquel causing her sister and
82
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,360
hype her up as a future
champion.
83
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,720
Realcom comes out looking
incredible.
84
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,680
Gear is leaning fully into the
Big Sexy nickname.
85
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,680
She is really channeling Kevin
Nash here.
86
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,080
And then Raquel says she only
has one question and asked her
87
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,880
why did you eliminate me?
And live gaslights her as fuck,
88
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,280
tells her that you know Raquel
will win the upcoming title
89
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:53,080
match.
And Raquel is happy about this
90
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,360
is still calling live sister.
But she says something
91
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,960
important.
She says that she wants to win
92
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,440
on her own.
And he tells Liv to stay in the
93
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,800
back.
But no she said live not dumb
94
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,720
live.
Some notes from this little
95
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:15,000
promo, because it does go
straight into the the Raquel
96
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,160
versus Stephanie match is that
Louis was just gaslighting the
97
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,880
fuck out of Raquel.
I mean, I guess we're going to
98
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,880
do this whole almost like Dom
thing, but even Dom wasn't
99
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,840
really gaslighting fan during
this time.
100
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:27,760
This is more like little
gaslighting Raquel.
101
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,160
Don was actually pretty
supportive of Raquel here.
102
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,240
You know, he you know, Raquel
went to give him a hug, which
103
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,160
was nice.
So we and I just noticed that,
104
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,160
you know, you're not seeing
something where if you feel like
105
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,920
somebody is shifting away from
you that you would know you'd be
106
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,760
like standoffish or something
like that.
107
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,520
I didn't get that from Dom at
least going towards Raquel right
108
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:58,160
now and Dom himself during this
whole time, I just felt like he
109
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,520
was there only to hype live.
And I do have a problem with
110
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,320
that because I don't like Dom in
this role.
111
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,440
He's going back into that
boyfriend role.
112
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Maria and I will talk about that
a little bit.
113
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:12,960
Then we're up with the Raquel
Rodriguez versus standing for
114
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,320
care for the women's world
title.
115
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,120
This was a great hard hitting
match.
116
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,520
Raquel targeted Stephanie's
ankle weapons were used to pace.
117
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,240
It was solid.
The finish comes with Bill comes
118
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,280
out to to ham Raquel the title.
That distraction let's Stephanie
119
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:29,440
Dr. Raquel into the ring post
parks and comes out tries to
120
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,080
help and get shoved through the
table.
121
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:35,560
She takes this table spot and
just kind of like it shoved off
122
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,280
the ring pose onto the table
that's was set up on the ground
123
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:41,280
there.
Raquel recovers briefly, goes
124
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:44,560
for a powerbomb off the
turnbuckle, but Stephanie
125
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,560
counter sitting Raquel through
the table and then Stephanie
126
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,800
hits the startle tab and
Stephanie wins.
127
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,160
After the Mets, Liv hits the
oblivion on Stephanie and holds
128
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,960
up the title, seemingly making
her choice.
129
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,600
My issues with this, I hate
Stephanie overcoming the odds of
130
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,240
Raquel.
I don't like it when we have it
131
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,680
where we've been having the face
been beat down so long.
132
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,360
It's a Cody Rhodes thing where
the face gets beat down so much
133
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,840
and then they automatically
recover just to win.
134
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,000
I don't like that, you know,
just Raquel is looking good.
135
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,840
She's looking strong and then
Stephanie kind of recovers in
136
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,640
towards the end just to get the
win.
137
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,040
I know she Raquel was distracted
by live here, but still I don't
138
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,000
like that out of recovery.
Raquel looks weak for falling
139
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,360
again, like she's gone through
three losses now and looks weak
140
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,320
as fuck because she can't win
the win big one.
141
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,080
And that's that Drew McIntyre
situation I was talking about
142
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,160
Raquel takes a tape, not Raquel
Brooks and takes this table spot
143
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,280
and was immediately forgotten
about.
144
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,000
She takes that spot.
You can barely see it on TV and
145
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,040
she was gone.
We have kind of costing Raquel
146
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,960
doesn't help Raquel story.
It doesn't advance it
147
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,040
significantly.
It's not something where Raquel
148
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,760
can be really, really mad about,
nor is it enough where will is
149
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,200
you know where it can establish
Raquel for future few future
150
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,920
storyline or whatever.
It's it doesn't help it enough
151
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,600
going into this we have after
this is CM Punk and the Roman
152
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,880
Romans Pomo.
I was ignoring this because it's
153
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,160
CM Punk and roll amaze.
I know that they were just going
154
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,560
to talk shit to each other back
and forth.
155
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,040
The only time I'm the only time
I'm mentioning it now and why
156
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,280
I'm mentioning it now is because
Punk did take the time to talk
157
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,080
shit about Finn in the middle of
his promo against Roman Reigns.
158
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,600
So I did like that.
Like he wasn't overlooking been
159
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,600
here.
He took time out of that promo
160
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,520
back and forth with Roller Ray
to talk shit to to you for the
161
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,320
Lord, and that's good.
But let's be real, Finn is
162
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,240
probably still going to lose
this feud.
163
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,720
So you got CM Punk and Roman
Reigns getting set up for
164
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,880
WrestleMania and Finn is trying
to shoot his shot but he's
165
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,800
getting over.
You know he's going to get lost
166
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,120
in all the hype between CM Punk
and Roman Reigns and I'll get
167
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,360
into that later too.
Some Raw quick pics before I get
168
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,120
into some thoughts.
Braun Breaker throws A tantrum
169
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,040
at the start of Raw.
Adam Pierce cooked them on the
170
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,840
mic saying that he's going to
allow Braun Breaker to stay on
171
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,440
Raw after that, his poor
performance at the Royal Rumble.
172
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,760
I cackled heartily at that
because Braun Breaker was just.
173
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,880
He was just so livid he tried to
go after Adam Pierce.
174
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,240
He falls and stumbles trying to
get through the future WWS to
175
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,800
get to Adam Pierce.
And then this is where Ellen
176
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,800
Knight comes to the crowd and
attacks division with the chair
177
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,320
before taking off again.
Yvonne Evans beats El Grande
178
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,040
Americano after El Grande
Americano Original causes a
179
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:53,520
distraction and gets El Gande
Americano pinned and say that
180
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:58,320
three times fast.
Gunther mocked AJ Styles after
181
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,840
he retired him.
Gun Dragon Lee steps up to
182
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,840
defend Uncle Alan's honor and
gets choked out for his efforts
183
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,080
over Family Debut and destroys
the War Raiders and they say
184
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,560
that he's a free agent so he
hasn't been signed to Raw or
185
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:16,880
Smack Down just yet.
Pinta beat Bronson Reed by
186
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,840
Cantel after LA Knight comes
back again after Adam Pierce
187
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,600
said that he has sent him home,
he attacks Bronson.
188
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,000
I think it did BFT hit.
He hits that on Bronson Reed on
189
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,840
the chair on the outside where
it made it where Bronson Reed
190
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,000
gets counted out because he
couldn't get it back in the ring
191
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,800
and Pinta wins.
So that's that.
192
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,880
Here are the my raw thoughts
over the night.
193
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,960
I genuinely feel really, really
bad for Raquel.
194
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,760
This is why I say I cover all
the things.
195
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,800
Just my day.
I'm just not covering things
196
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,840
just for live.
I'm not covering things just for
197
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,560
Dom.
Even though Dom is my brother
198
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:53,880
die and I love him to death.
I care about all the people of
199
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,000
Desmond Day.
And so here I'm feeling really
200
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,280
sorry for Raquel.
Unlike Finn, who can vivid into
201
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,480
a face term just because of how
he's been booked recently,
202
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,120
Raquel has no sympathy booking
to make her a face or killer
203
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,320
heal bookie to make her a heal.
She just kind of there.
204
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,800
She just made to look like an
idiot and made to look like a
205
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,240
chump so Liv can get into this
child match, what she was going
206
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,400
to get, but Raquel has nothing
to show for it now.
207
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,160
So what does Raquel do now?
Because every path that I see
208
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:33,040
for Raquel ends up in some kind
of loss if he enters the
209
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,840
Elimination Chamber and wins
because AAA says that is changed
210
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,880
in the winter, can choose
whichever champion.
211
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,640
So it's not like restricted to
the other person.
212
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,240
Other title belt now is just
open for everybody.
213
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,920
If she wins the Elimination
Chamber, she probably ends eats
214
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,400
the pen at WrestleMania.
If they make it a triple dirt
215
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,680
match between her, Liv and
Stephanie.
216
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,960
If she challenges Liv after
WrestleMania, which will it be
217
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,640
extending this feud for the
longest time?
218
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,960
Champions rarely lose their
first offense, so if Liv wins at
219
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,600
WrestleMania and Raquel is the
first defense after it, she's
220
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,440
not going to win there.
If she fused with Liv now, like
221
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,440
say she decides to break free of
Judgment Day and start feuding
222
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,040
with Liv now, she'll probably
lose here.
223
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,840
The only option I see for Raquel
is her costing Liv at
224
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,040
WrestleMania so they could
continue to feud without the
225
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,200
title, but I don't see that how
that's going to happen.
226
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,240
Like that's the only thing where
I can see is like, Liv talks all
227
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,640
the shit, she gets into the feud
with Stephanie and she gets all
228
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,640
the way down to WrestleMania and
that's when Raquel decides to
229
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,200
cost her and then so they can
start their feud.
230
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,960
But then why would you start
that view with No title?
231
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,240
You see what I mean?
It's like everything looks for a
232
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,000
loss for Raquel and that's why I
was pushing so hard for Raquel
233
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,120
to win here because she could
have this belt for a little bit.
234
00:12:57,560 --> 00:12:59,320
Stephanie would lose nothing.
She was going to lose at
235
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,360
WrestleMania anyway.
So you know, what's the point?
236
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,600
What you know, what would be the
harm of Raquel holding the title
237
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,400
for a little bit going into
WrestleMania?
238
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,400
And like I said, and I'll say
what my whole chest a Liv versus
239
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,880
Stephanie feud at at its core
right now, it will be dry as
240
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,000
fuck and bland as fuck and
heatless as fuck.
241
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,720
There's no storyline there.
There's no feud, there's no
242
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,920
history.
What is she going?
243
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,880
What does Liv want to say?
I am the greatest of all time.
244
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,360
And then we got to listen to
Stephanie with her English, her
245
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,120
limited English skills because
she's improving, but it's still
246
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,640
limited.
Trying to make a few.
247
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:42,880
This is the problem that Eel Sky
had with the Bianca and Rea and
248
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,400
Eel feud last year.
Even though the even though the
249
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,000
match was straight fire and it
was great.
250
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,760
I'm not discounting the match.
The leading up to it.
251
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:59,760
The leading up to the feud was
was limited on Eels side because
252
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,560
you can only say so much.
So what does what does Raquel
253
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:05,600
do?
That brings me to Dom.
254
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,640
Dom returns from injury and
talks about for talks for 5
255
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,600
minutes.
That's it.
256
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,960
He should have been checking fan
for letting Punk call him
257
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,760
garbage.
He could have confronted Lib a
258
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,760
little bit, maybe softer, you
know, asking why she didn't
259
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,560
check then for allowing Punk to
call him garbage.
260
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,400
He should have been starting
something for himself, to
261
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,240
establish himself, post his
injuries, establish his
262
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,400
direction.
Instead, everything he did
263
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,400
tonight benefited Liv.
He slipped back into the
264
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,160
boyfriend role that he had with
Bria, and I'm not into it.
265
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,440
And then there's poor Roxanne.
Roxanne again disappears.
266
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,920
She takes the stables table spot
that you could barely see on TV.
267
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,400
And then there's nothing.
Her story needs to start
268
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,240
immediately.
Throw her into the icy title
269
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,440
picture.
Do something.
270
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,000
If you're going to be with Dom,
be with Dom.
271
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,280
I don't know, I don't care.
She needs to do something.
272
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,200
This is very worrying that she's
just doing these little bit
273
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,600
parts when when she could be
doing so much more.
274
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,480
What's up next for the judgement
Day?
275
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,200
Dom defends the AAA Mega
champions that red, the Reds.
276
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,480
If he wins, he probably will
view with the Grande Americano.
277
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,480
If he loses to Vikingo, Vikingo
will view with El Grande
278
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,560
Americano.
But on Monday Night Raw, we need
279
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,960
the clubhouse seems to return,
We need real conflict between
280
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,000
Liv and Raquel, and it needs to
significantly advance Finn and
281
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,280
Dom finally interacting and
Roxanne Story to actually begin.
282
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,120
The gaslighting era needs to
end.
283
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,000
Like we've been through this,
we've been through it for a
284
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,920
year.
Things need to significantly
285
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,360
advance and Finn needs to be
taken as a significant threat
286
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,560
because he shouldn't be just a
stopgap for CM Punk, but I feel
287
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,800
that that's just going to happen
for him and that's withdraw.
