Where has this Iyo been for the past 8 months? It feels like it was her first title defense. Has she defended it before? She's amazing. I'd basically written her off a long time ago as someone that was good at being a nothing champion.
Word is Giulia has now signed with WWE and will start in NXT shortly. She's another import I'm really not familiar with other than seeing her name in various ratings and dropped here and there. I guess I've got some youtubing to do when I get a few quiet minutes.
Disappointed Drew lost the title before tomorrow. Hopefully he's sticking around and not leaving. His work the past several months has been incredible.
Priest as WHC is ok, too, though. He's put in the clicks. I guess it's time for Imperium to get back to feuding with Judgment Day. Gunther vs Priest in Berlin?
Was interesting that the Bucks and Omega were featured during the Cody preamble for WM.
I'm wondering if this recent back and forth between AEW and WWE is a work and they're plotting something together. Plenty of mention of names such as Jericho, Banks, Edge, etc over and during Wrestlemania. Never would have happened with Vince around...CM Punk insults Tony by saying he's a nice guy. Stone has been thrown.

I don't know if Giulia has signed with WWE yet, but it's definitely happening. I know they brought her in for a try-out around 6 months ago, but since then Rossy got booted out of Stardom and last I heard is she will be sticking around to help him build up a name for his new promotion as a favor to him. The new promotion is expected to be up and running by this summer.
A lot of the broads from Stardom are loyal to Rossy, not to Stardom as a company, so by giving him the boot, that company is about to become the craps. 5 of the more known women (including Giulia) have left to go with Rossy and more have announced they will not be re-signing when their deals are up. It is looking very likely WWE and Rossy's promotion will form a partnership of some sort and I couldn't be more excited.

No fudgein crap. She pulled it out. Bayley/Iyo became the second best match of the show, right behind Gunther/Zayn. Her title reign was booked fudging terribly. Props to Iyo though, she did her best.

Predictions for RAW tonight?
1) Who debuts from NXT/Random signings?
2) Who does Gunther go after, Rhodes or Priest? Whichever he chooses (Probably Priest), who will face the latter?
3) Does Gable cash in on his favor?
4) First challengers for Raw tag titles? DIY/Pretty Deadly?
5) Will Reigns/Rollins/Drew/Rock/Drew come out and address crowd?
6) Will we get a new challenger for Ripley?
7) Any other big announcements?? New Belts (like woman's intercontinental belt or Cruiserweight belt comes back?)
8) Will woman's tag belts FINALLY be challenged by maybe Jade/Bianca/Naomi combo?
For the first time in a long time, I'm actually interested in the direction WWE is going...

1) Random signings...there's usually one anyway. I can't think of any free agents they'd be interested in...unless MJF actually made the jump, but I doubt it. I could see some people coming back who've been off for awhile like Strowman, etc. Possibly Tyler Rotunda.
2) They kinda already started some friction between Judgment Day and Imperium so I'd expect that to start up again. I've got nothing for Cody...probably do the open challenge crap for awhile until they figure it out....or someone turns heel.
3) Of course he does
4) Pretty Deadly being left off the card was a tragedy.
5) Maybe Drew, but I doubt it.
6) There's nobody left to challenge Ripley that could be taken seriously. Probably Liv Morgan, though.
7) Not yet
8) Are those still a thing? They haven't mattered in 2 years.
Yep, agreed. It should be interesting for awhile

Matt Hardy is a free agent now. Wouldn't mind him getting a spot either as a match producer or something on creative team.

That was a bad episode of Raw. Cody/Rock was fun though.
What was the point of the Cody/Rock thing anyhow?? It was pretty lame, and to be honest, cheesy as hell.. IT was 49 minutes long and quite honestly, could have been cut to like 15 minutes..
The best part of Raw was the Judgment Day part when R-Truth came out..
This was one of the worst post Wrestlemania Raws I've seen..

Yup. That Bray doc fudging annihilated me. Life's too gosh darn short, fellas.
+1 to watching the Bray Wyatt documentary. Listening to his family/friends recount the day he passed was absolutely brutal. Highly recommended, but be prepared to shed at least a few tears.
On a happier note, The last 5 minutes of the Reigns vs Rhodes match was awesome. Felt like a little kid again.

I was kinda expecting a Rock hijacking when they mentioned the first hour was going to be commercial free.

I think one thing WWE does very well consistently is creates anticipation for 'what's next'. A few things will be mentioned throughout the show, a few newish feuds may start up or continue since the Wrestlemania break, and people expect to see some new faces show up. I'm sure if MJF had sauntered out there, most everyone would have been, "OMG, best Raw EVERRRRRRRRR". Some would be, "Who's this guy? New manager?" The 47 minutes of the Rock being booed wouldn't have mattered anymore. The endless recaps of Wrestlemania wouldn't have been the talking point to anyone who saw it....but he didn't, nor did anyone else of interest so the talking point is The Rock abusing his power and privilege to hijack the first hour of the show....again.
So, what people found out...
Liv Morgan is next to go after Rhea
Sheamus is coming back soon
The Draft starts in a couple weeks. NXT is involved
Cody will continue to be on Smackdown, at least until after the draft is finalized
Punk is all better and will be feuding with McIntyre imminently
Shinsuke Nakamura might as well go back to NXT, Japan, TNA, or somewhere he might get over again. I'd normally say AEW....he'd be great there, too...but he wouldn't be winning anymore than he does now.
Chad Gable is turning heel. I don't think he'll be winning the belt next week in Montreal but expect Zayn/Gable at the next PLE, where he'll go over.
Also, if everyone keeps ramming sunshine up Cody's ass, the fans are going to turn on him hard. He suddenly desperately needs a new feud soon - before Rock comes back and continues his wasting of TV time....but who could harass him that would be believable after these past few months? Also, he does cry pretty much every week. I didn't notice so much until Rock said it. It needs to stop.
From there, they leave some unanswered questions so tune into Smackdown this Friday...and they will.
I was thinking about it. I think that may have been one of the only Wrestlemania's I've actually watched live while it happened. It's also the first year since Wrestlemania began that there is a possible way to do that in Rural Manitoba without going to some public place that 'might' be airing it. It's different watching this stuff this way, rather than by my usual alternative methods after the fact with slow internet and no TV provider. Watching it all go down after you already know what the results are isn't as fun.

I guess the Rock/Cody had some good callbacks to past events, which from a storytelling standpoint is great. It didn’t play out well real time though. Rock needs to move along the dialogue, too much posterizing for the crowd.
Cody needs to lose the awshucks aspect of his character and lean into being a face champion. While he was irritating to me at the time, looking back Cena was the best at that.

Probably when Punk was walking through a table screaming at him after they got pulled apart. EDIT: My question is where was the part that triggered Punk's Silva/Sonnen reference from the interview, where he suggested he pushed Perry because he "couldn't let him get close?" Punk got directly in his face then leapt on him.
Either way, Punk's original side of the story for sure wasn't what happened. He does come off as a punk though, that's for sure.

Heck at least it adds heat to the Bucks/FTR Dynasty match. That match is gonna go hard.
