WWE Monday Night Raw Review (12/22/25): The End of The Judgment Day? + Dom’s AAA Betrayal

1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,560
Wrestlers lie, we all know this.
So why is everyone believing

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,600
Roxanne Perez when she says that
she won't get in the way of

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,360
living Dom?
And if you are a live Borg and

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,480
Finn, you should be terrified of
what happened this weekend

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,240
during AAA's Grass to China's
event.

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,520
Everyone is saying Dominique
Mysterio got betrayed by El

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,720
Grande Americano but if you look
closer he is the one that turned

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,440
1st and that should scare you so
welcome.

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:32,960
Welcome.
My name is Ryder Maven.

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,080
I am the host of the Wrestling
Receipts podcast.

11
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:39,720
I cover all things Judgment day,
Dom, Liv, Raquel, Finn, JD,

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,200
Roxanne, Por, Carlito and El
Grande Americano and most

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,360
Americanos.
This raw review is entitled to

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,440
Judgment Day is just fine.
Is this the beginning of the end

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,760
of Liv, Raquel and Roxanne?
Today on the Wrestling Sees

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,760
podcast, we are breaking down
why Dom's character has

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,000
officially shifted.
Why Roxanne Perez claiming they

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,519
are best buddies is a major red
flag.

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,400
And we're reviewing this taped
edition of Monday Night Raw, so

20
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,920
let's get into it, shall we?
Now this is the brief AAA to

21
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,800
Tatana's recap.
I'm just going to recap the main

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,680
event between Los Gringos Locos
2 point O which is Dom and El

23
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,120
Grande Americano versus the Rays
of Ray Phoenix and Rey Mysterio.

24
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,360
This match has big match feel
and the finish came when the

25
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,200
Rays win when Penta uses El
Grande Americano's loaded disc

26
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,160
against Dom and the aftermatch
which is important though Dom

27
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,880
showed El Grande Americano post
and left him in the ring and

28
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,880
then El Grande Americano then
shake shook hands with Rey

29
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,840
Mysterio.
Now here is my hot take because

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,320
I have been seeing this all over
the please try again.

31
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,240
I've been seeing this all over
TikTok and social.

32
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,480
Don't let Twitter or social
media frame this as Dom being

33
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,639
betrayed.
He was not betrayed, he was the

34
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,520
one that betrayed first.
Dom showed El Grande Americano

35
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,520
first and this is like the only
time or maybe a second time that

36
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:25,640
El Grande has failed Dom.
But El Grande is was gaining

37
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:32,680
nothing and Dom losing here.
Plus in this relationship it we

38
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,880
did not see what El Grande
Americano gets to gain from

39
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,640
having a relationship from Dom.
So it's just really interesting

40
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:43,880
to see this whiplash of people
getting on El Grande Americano

41
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,000
saying he was too slow even
though he was waiting for Pinto

42
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,440
because Pinto was taking his
sweet ass time to get out there.

43
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,280
People are saying like he was
teaching and shaking people's

44
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,440
hands during the match while and
that's why Dom to be pissed even

45
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,560
though that's what happens
during the match is like

46
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,960
wrestlers will lay on the ground
for a while until they get to

47
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,320
the next spot or the next
sequence in the match.

48
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,800
It was just mind boggling to me
to see how people switch and

49
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,600
especially when people were
saying oh you know, El Grande

50
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,920
can replacement velour now.
Finn is one that was deliberate

51
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:20,800
with his slowness with Dom.
Like we actually saw that at

52
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,400
triple, not triple mania.
We saw that at Worlds Collide,

53
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:32,000
so with El Grande, this shows a
major shift in Dom's character

54
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,760
because unlike the situation Dom
has within Ria and Damian, El

55
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,200
Carne Americano didn't actually
do anything to Dom

56
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,080
intentionally.
Was he slow with the loaded

57
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:43,800
disc?
Yeah.

58
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,800
But did he intentionally cost
Dom the match that he

59
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:53,520
intentionally, you know, 'cause
Dom to, you know, lose the

60
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,320
match?
No, he was just slow about it

61
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,160
and that's the only thing he
did.

62
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,280
Now, you can always say that he
was, oh, he touched the belt,

63
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,600
but again, everybody touches
that damn belt.

64
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:09,520
So, you know, it's still a
sequence of El Grande did

65
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,320
nothing to Dom.
And the reason why this is a big

66
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,200
shift because Dom no longer has
a reason to turn.

67
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:21,040
You remember how the the
character trait of Dom is that

68
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,240
he always needs a reason to
betray somebody or turn on

69
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,560
somebody.
Now that's gone.

70
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,360
He always had a reason with Ray.
He always had a reason with

71
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,440
Edge.
He always had a reason with Ria.

72
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,600
He already had a reason with
Damian, and he had a reason with

73
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,440
Finn.
But with El Grande Americano,

74
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,600
there is no reason.
And if I'm a live fan, I would

75
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,960
be shaking in my boots right
now.

76
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,320
Why?
Because they think this is Liv

77
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,880
and Dom versus the world because
Dom is shoving everything their

78
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,360
way.
But this only just proves that

79
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,640
when the going gets tough and
Dom is not happy, he will turn

80
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,880
on you.
Now he doesn't need a reason to

81
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,320
turn.
So what happens if Liv starts

82
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,680
being useful to Dom?
See what I mean?

83
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,320
This is a major shift and I'll
be really really concerned about

84
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,800
this in the future.
But when it comes to Dom and

85
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,080
Liv.
Because it's like a people said,

86
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,880
Dom has no reason to cheat on
Liv.

87
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,720
Well, there you go.
Now he doesn't need a reason and

88
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,520
that signals a major character
shift and change with Dom.

89
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,520
We have to see if this comes out
more in the future, and I'm

90
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,120
betting it does because now they
tested that out in Mexico.

91
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,960
But the positives over here is
that El Gani Americano now is

92
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,760
now a babyface in triple Mania,
not triple mania in AAA.

93
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,560
And he will possibly face Dom
for that mega championship down

94
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,440
the line.
Next up we have the Roxanne

95
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,960
Perez interview.
Roxanne made some very specific

96
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,680
comments regarding her
relationship with Dom.

97
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,280
She claims they are best
buddies, insisted she'll never

98
00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:58,480
get in the way of him and Liv,
and play dumb regarding the

99
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,720
rumors.
Now let's break this down, shall

100
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,120
we?
A lot of people wanted to throw

101
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,840
this interview in my face saying
that you know Rockstar won't

102
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:14,080
happen, but I took some very
interesting takes regarding

103
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,440
this.
First, best buddies.

104
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,640
Roxanne said Dom and she and Dom
are best buddies.

105
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,200
Since when?
When did they become best

106
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,040
buddies?
And if they are best buddies

107
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:34,040
does not doesn't it refute
people saying that Dom ignores

108
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,840
Roxanne?
So where did the buddiness come

109
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:40,360
from?
And if you're best buddies, Don

110
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,360
won't, you wouldn't be ignoring
your friend.

111
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,360
And also this kind of also spins
up that theory I had a long time

112
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,240
ago that maybe they had a fling
in NXT.

113
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,000
Maybe that's coming back around.
I don't know.

114
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,760
But again, that's something to
think about.

115
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,040
Why all of a sudden are they're
your best buddies?

116
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,400
And another thing this brings up
the just friends trope.

117
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,160
This is a riding trope and
writing saying that you're just

118
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,200
friends.
It's just a classic trope before

119
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,680
an affair storyline starts.
So, oh, I'm just, you know,

120
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:14,520
we're just friends.
Yeah, you know, that is is a

121
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,320
classic trope and I'd be
concerned about that too.

122
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,680
Also, subtext matters. dot
Roxanne is not going to outright

123
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,360
say and say in an interview that
she's going to be stealing Dom

124
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,080
or doing this.
I mean, I'm not sure why

125
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,240
everybody now is believing
Roxanne on this.

126
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,760
Because wrestlers lie.
Just because she says she

127
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,960
wasn't, she won't get in the way
of Dom and Lib does not mean

128
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,800
she'll honor it.
Because remember, last year Dom

129
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,520
lied his ass off all the way
until Summer Slam regarding Lib.

130
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,680
So just because Roxanne says
nothing has happened doesn't

131
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,000
mean that Rockstar won't happen.
And again, I am not saying that

132
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,720
any kind of genie was happened.
I'm just putting it out there

133
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,280
that, hey, wrestlers lie and I
just find it really humorous

134
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,160
that people all of a sudden are
taking Roxanne at face value,

135
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,480
but they won't take what Dom
said at face value when he said

136
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,160
that Dom was better.
I mean, when Dom said Liv was

137
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,000
better than Rhea, See what I
mean?

138
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,840
So you know you're going to take
Roxanne at face value.

139
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,480
They ain't got to be taking Dom
as face value when he said Dom

140
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,200
that Liv was better than Rhea
'cause it doesn't get any more

141
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,680
blatant than that.
But yes, and Senor does bring up

142
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,640
what about Dom's injury.
I am not going to really

143
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,480
reference the injury because we
don't know.

144
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,080
I know Meltzer and Alvarez has
said something but the last time

145
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,200
Meltzer said anything about
Dom's injury last year, he ended

146
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:42,840
up with a huge egg on his face.
So I am not going to believe

147
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:48,400
much regarding any kind of
injury until we get something

148
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,880
from Chandra Sapp and PWI
Insider.

149
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,280
Now, I always say take the dirt
teeth with a with a huge grain

150
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,440
of salt, but those are more
accurate than not.

151
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,320
And I would tend to believe that
a little bit more than over Dave

152
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,720
Meltzer.
I know Dave Meltzer has gotten

153
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,800
some things right now, but for a
while he was striking out.

154
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,960
So I'm not really believing on
Dave Meltzer just yet.

155
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,000
Is it possible that Dom is
banged up?

156
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,240
Yeah.
Is it possible he's injured?

157
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,280
Yeah, but we don't know the
severity if that's there's a lot

158
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,240
of people are saying that he was
acting just fine after the show

159
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,600
and maybe he was just covering
it well.

160
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,280
So, you know, people wouldn't be
concerned about it.

161
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,200
I don't know.
But I'm not going to comment too

162
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,360
much on the injury just yet
because we don't know.

163
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,160
All we can do is just hope for
the best is hope that he's only

164
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,800
banged up, if that and that you
know, this time right now will

165
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,680
allow him some time to heal up
where cuz he's not really needed

166
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:47,120
in the judgment day storyline
right now in the 1st place.

167
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,920
And and that's all we've heard
right now.

168
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,360
They saying like he would get
evaluated today or something

169
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,120
like that.
But we haven't heard hide nor

170
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,120
hair about anything right now
today other than from Alvarez

171
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,760
and Meltzers.
And again, I take I don't really

172
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,560
believe them when it comes to
things like this because they've

173
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:06,360
been proven wrong too many
times.

174
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,240
Let's go ahead and get into the
Monday night Rawls pre review,

175
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,000
shall we?
We had the judgment day walk in.

176
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,680
We have the visual of Dom
physically positioned between

177
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,880
Liv and Roxanne and they're
chatting and Dom is chatting

178
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,080
with Roxanne Case.
People want to deny that again

179
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,520
and they're just they're just
talking back and forth.

180
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,400
Also note Finn and Raquel are in
the back.

181
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,800
This visually confirms their
current placement or like

182
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,280
they're of within the judgment
day hierarchy.

183
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,520
So you have Dom, Lib and Roxanne
in the front and Raquel and Finn

184
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,400
in the back.
Nothing much said on this.

185
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,640
It's just that it's just really
striking how things are

186
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,640
separating right now as relates
to the judgment day hierarchy.

187
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,120
Next we have Stephanie McCarron
and scrap daddy Adam Pierce.

188
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,520
Pierce asked Stephanie what she
wants to do regarding Raquel and

189
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,200
Nikki Bella.
Stephanie demands a triple dirt

190
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,400
match and the match is pretty
much made.

191
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,600
So we will have Stephanie
Brakira versus Nikki Bella

192
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:10,200
versus Raquel Rodriguez next
week for the World Woman's World

193
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,000
Championship in a triple threat
match.

194
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,840
My only note on this is that can
the WWE please update Raquel's

195
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,400
render and these match graphics?
It's overdue.

196
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,320
It's using that old, that old
one.

197
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,440
It's not her best look.
She's got has much better

198
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,040
renders now pictures wise and
I'm not sure why they keep using

199
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,080
that old entire render for
Raquel.

200
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,200
That's not really fair to her
for that render.

201
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,600
Then next we have Roxanne versus
Bailey.

202
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:44,720
The match is just great.
I love how Roxanne works a body

203
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,880
part and here she was working
Bailey's leg and knees.

204
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,720
So she will, she will just
pinpoint a body part and she'll

205
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,960
just work it.
I, I love it when Roxanne's

206
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,160
visually together look great.
They're really striking.

207
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,120
I like the parrot even though
you know I I gripe about stuff

208
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,960
but aesthetic wise liver Roxanne
look great together.

209
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,320
The chaos comes is when Raquel
comes out to help quote UN quote

210
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,400
but gets thwarted by Lyra and
then Lyra stays the day by

211
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,280
taking care of Lyra by tossing
her over the table.

212
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,520
The finish comes when Liv
distracts the ref.

213
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,120
Roxanne exposes the turnbuckle
and sends Bailey's head first

214
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,880
into it.
Roxanne has the match one until

215
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,080
Raquel.
This unspeakably gets up on the

216
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:41,560
apron and distracts the ref.
Liv pulls Raquel off off off the

217
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,080
apron and they're arguing.
Roxanne is confused as fuck,

218
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,280
like what are you doing?
Lyra reappears on the announce

219
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,520
paper.
Wipe them by both out by doing a

220
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,160
crossbody on them.
She then goes over there, slaps

221
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,920
Bailey.
Bailey, you know, switches her

222
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,760
personality again and then
Bailey just takes Roxanne Pillar

223
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,240
to pose and then hits a flying
elbow for the win.

224
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,760
Now, my notes on this, Raquel
popping out out of nowhere with

225
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,280
just awkward, like, where does
she come from?

226
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,360
I know this was tape.
I think this was this should

227
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,640
have been done a little bit
better.

228
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,960
Like we should have saw her
walking down the aisle, coming

229
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,640
through the crowd, something she
just kind of randomly pops up.

230
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,640
How come you can't you can't
excuse Raquel costing Roxanne

231
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,800
the match when she had it one.
You cannot.

232
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,240
People are getting on me for
saying, well, are you going to

233
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,600
talk about Raquel, you know,
costing Roxanne the match?

234
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,000
And I was like, I haven't seen
it yet.

235
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,480
But here now I can't excuse it.
And why would I excuse it if I'm

236
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,680
going to rap Dom's knuckles
about what he did to El Grande?

237
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:47,880
I got to rap Raquel's knuckles.
That was uncalled for.

238
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,040
Why is she getting up on the
apron?

239
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,680
You know, Roxanne had it one,
she could have just stayed on

240
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:56,800
the ground, let Roxanne win, and
then if he wanted to argue with

241
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,560
Roxanne and Liv about things
later like we see in the judge

242
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:01,640
clubhouse later, then she should
have.

243
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,640
I think this kind of mirrors
what happened months ago when

244
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,000
Liv had the match one, because
Roxanne helped her out and then

245
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:12,400
Roxanne did that again.
So maybe this is mirroring what

246
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,720
happened there as well.
It's pretty interesting.

247
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,200
For that note, we have to wonder
if this was jealousy.

248
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,200
Was Raquel trying to help or was
she jealous that Liz

249
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,960
interference was actually
working for Roxanne?

250
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,880
Was she is she jealous that
Roxanne and Lib are getting

251
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,560
closer and kind of she's kind of
getting frozen out.

252
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,160
These are these are some things
that we should have gotten some

253
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,160
beats on at least in the
clubhouse.

254
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,360
But then you and then poor
Roxanne takes another loss.

255
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,680
I know this is for the
storyline, but still she needs

256
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,320
to start getting some wins.
I don't like her losing and

257
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,800
that's one thing I will agree
with that Roxanne's fan is like

258
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,600
it's storyline wise.
But I don't really like her

259
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,720
taking all these losses even
though she won last week.

260
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,280
Now we shift into the desert, a
clubhouse.

261
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,160
Dom and Finn are on the
PlayStation 5.

262
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,200
Finn looks like he's facing
Brown Breaker.

263
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,600
But now it was corrected to say
that's Chad Gable which is

264
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,360
really interesting.
The women in her and arguing Dom

265
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,160
and fan are trying to calm them
down.

266
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,920
Roxanne says that she and Liv
had the match one until Roxanne

267
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,480
Raquel showed up.
Raquel claims that she was just

268
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,760
trying to get help and points
out just what they didn't help

269
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,880
her last week against Nikki.
But instead we were just trying

270
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,800
to do what you ask.
We help each other because

271
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,920
that's what families do.
Which felt sarcastic as hell.

272
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,440
The split comes is where Raquel
says that she doesn't need this,

273
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,880
she has a title master prep for
and walks out.

274
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,840
Now what I think here is that we
really needed a segment before

275
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:51,800
the Roxanne and Bailey match to
explain why Raquel popped up

276
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,400
because it just felt so random.
Raquel is being a huge

277
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,800
hypocrite.
She literally told him that she

278
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,600
wanted to handle things on her
home last week and Nikki came

279
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,680
out and gave her that big egg,
egg on her head.

280
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,040
So she's being a hypocrite here.
You mean you said you wanted to

281
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,240
do 1 on your own?
They did let you be on your own

282
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,760
and you got your bell rung
because of that.

283
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:24,440
You know spade's a spade here.
Raquel is focusing on the gold,

284
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,200
the women's title gold at least,
and it's pushing everyone

285
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,560
everyone away and in doing so,
she is lightly turned Roxanne

286
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:36,480
completely against her and Liv
has now pulled Roxanne onto her

287
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,040
side just because Liv was
actually helping Roxanne to win

288
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,440
the match until Rox Raquel
showed up.

289
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,400
I'm going to get into this a
little bit deeper later, but I'm

290
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,400
going to do my raw quick hit
sports and then I'm going to

291
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,400
circle back around.
So while Quick Kick raw, Quick

292
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:57,000
Hit is after defeating Rhea via
distraction, Roll up after Kyrie

293
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,600
attacked, yells injured Bat and
Ria went to check on her, Becky

294
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,359
and Max Anne they came to bows.
During their promo, Maxine made

295
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:10,040
Becky tap out to the Ankle lock
and they will have a match for

296
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,440
Intercontinental Championship on
the first Raw of the year.

297
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,960
In 2026, Javon Evans beat Rio
Americano and he is now a free

298
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,800
agent on the main roster.
Nikki Bella promo.

299
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,560
This is what a real promo real
champion looks like.

300
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,320
She insulted the crowd, it's
just your basic heel promo, yada

301
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,440
yada yada.
Dr. got booed out of the

302
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,200
building and that's all I can
say about that.

303
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,360
And then he did talk to Uncle Al
and AJ Styles again.

304
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,960
Austin Theory and Bronson Reed
defeated Rey Mysterio and CM

305
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,680
Punk.
Awesome.

306
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,400
Theory is looking like he's
fresh out of prison and now he

307
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,680
has converted and now looks like
a Messiah as well.

308
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,280
And here are my final thoughts
RAW.

309
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,360
The setup was awkward tonight,
but the goal was clear.

310
00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:59,840
The WWE wants animosity built
between Raquel, Roxanne and

311
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,560
Leah.
They might be speed running

312
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,000
things a bit and I think we
could have, they could have set

313
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,440
it up better, but we know what
the end game was.

314
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,440
They wanted that animosity to
build up.

315
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,320
By costing Roxanne the match,
Raquel has pushed Roxanne away

316
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,120
and live with being smart.
She's pulling Roxanne to her

317
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:19,560
side by pretending to help
Roxanne.

318
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,440
Well, not really pretending to
help Roxanne, but she's helping

319
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,680
Roxanne in spite of Raquel.
Prediction next week is the

320
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,920
triple threat.
So what I really want to happen

321
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:40,560
is that Raquel wins, but only
due to live trying to purpose

322
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,560
kind of accidentally on purpose
cost Raquel the match.

323
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,800
Like live Roxanne are kind of
trying to do that, but Raquel

324
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,480
ends up winning the match
anyway.

325
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,320
It could end up where Stephanie
wins or even Nikki wins.

326
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,880
But I think it would be better
if we go into that triple threat

327
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,480
match where Raquel is in a
situation maybe like how they

328
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:08,240
did with Izzy Dame and Tatum
Paxley from MXT at what?

329
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,120
Was it not Halloween Havoc?
Yeah, it was Halloween Havoc.

330
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,320
So like Izzy Dane went to hit
Tatum, but it ended up hitting

331
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,280
Jaycee Jane.
Maybe we can do something like

332
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,520
that.
Like Liv goes to hit Raquel, but

333
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,600
she ends up it hitting like
Nikki, like save Stephanie so

334
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,600
she doesn't get pinned.
She, Liv ends up hitting Nikki,

335
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,360
Nikki down and out.
And then this is where Raquel

336
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:39,280
can capitalize, do a Tejano bomb
or whatever, pin Nikki 123.

337
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,160
That way you have Raquel as the
champion.

338
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,520
And then going into next year,
you can have Liv enter the Royal

339
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:53,120
Rumble, win the Royal Rumble,
and then Liv can select Raquel

340
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:55,160
as the person that she wants to
face.

341
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:00,120
And then that's when Liv and
Roxanne boot Raquel from the

342
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:03,080
Judgment Day.
And that's my little prediction

343
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,440
on that.
That's what I think would do

344
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,160
better.
Right now, just having Raquel

345
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,440
lose right here I don't think
really helps the storyline.

346
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:16,240
I mean, yeah, you can eject
Raquel out of Desert Day here

347
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,400
and you could have it where
Raquel is ejected and then lives

348
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,880
in the match and then Raquel
comes back and then cost live

349
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,200
again.
But I don't think I would want

350
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,720
that for Liv if, you know, she's
in the moral rumble.

351
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,680
Like if she's in the moral
rumble, let her just go on and

352
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,560
win it by now.
And and then I don't really want

353
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,720
Nikki to win that either.
Like, she's like, I don't know.

354
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,440
Nikki, I don't think needs to be
anywhere near a title right now.

355
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,160
Maybe I see.
But I don't really think she

356
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:48,280
needs to be near a title.
And that was raw, like I said.

357
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,720
Yeah.
I mean, we're going into

358
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,080
judgment day is crumbling and we
have Dom and finish things on

359
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,240
pause right now.
It is all close to seven women.

360
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,560
We will see what happens next
week with this title match and

361
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,960
like I said, I hope Raquel went
it and that is Raw.
