#LAWTAKE - WWE RAW 4/24/23

Anddd we are back! Welcome to another inconsistently consistent written rundown via the #LAWTAKE. Tonight I was able to catch WWE Raw live and direct from my couch and let me tell you, this was way better than the wheel spinning snoozefest we had last week. Shall we begin…

RAW NOTES

  • Cody Rhodes is the most over Babyface on this entire program and I think even more than Sami at this point.

  • Cody Vs Brock is going be excellent to see for the first time and dare I say should main event Backlash.

  • Finn Balor Vs Cody for a World Title is a good PLE B-level main event and I’m here for that too.

  • Finn Balor might be some days and weeks and months late on recruiting Cody to Judgment Day.

  • LWO can’t catch a win. They will be in the #Cooked segment of RSC sooner or later.

  • The Bloodline can’t catch a loss. Until perhaps this next Tag Title match on Friday..

  • WWE does a much better job of presenting its black wrestlers than the competition across the country of the Elite kind. Street Profits need a tag title run.

  • No sign of a Hurt Business reunion anywhere in sight but always nice to see Cedric and Shelton get air time.

  • With HHH announcing the new World Heavyweight Title, we have a PLETHORA of contenders to choose from. Much excitement for this portion of the show.

  • The two world titles will confuse some at first but as long as WWE stays true to keeping the brands separate, we could be in for a fun rest of 2023.

  • Very sexy belt with a mesh of the WCW big gold belt and the NXT world title. I wonder if the lineage from Roman’s WWE Title Carrie’s over here?

  • HHH/Cena was such an underrated main event from an underrated Mania. I remember this PPV like yesterday. Our first cameo of CM Punk and John Cena interacting. Ha!

  • Bianca Belair needs competition or a Charlotte Flair feud. I’m afraid of the latter.

  • Damage CTRL can’t buy a win in the same token LWO never can. It’s tough out here for factions.

  • I hate Raquel smiling every thirteen seconds. Truly yo. I wish she was the beast she was in NXT. This smiley thing isn’t it.

  • The Womens Tag Titles have had more shine in these last few weeks than ever before, am I wrong?

  • Theory is COOOOKED. Mans could be the Cruiserweight Champion at this point and I don’t think it would even get much over.

  • Lashley/Reed doesn’t need a title to be a good feud, but a World Title would be a beautiful addition.

  • Theory is gonna win this triple threat at Backlash and do we really expect anything less?

  • Mustafa Ali gets a win??? Holy shit! And in his own hometown at that. If there was a Cruiserweight division, this match/feud would be hotter.

  • Gable deserves better!

  • Finn Balor as a World Heavyweight Champion is really a sleeper. Don’t forget this guy can win that belt at any time and actually have a credible reign.

  • Unfortunately losses pile up for Finn as tonight he was put down via a Cross Rhodes from Cody. The Road To Roman continues!

  • Omos/Seth makes zero sense outside of give these guys something to do, but with the new World Heavyweight Title looming in the shadows this could be a good preview to a B-level PLE main event.

  • Punishment Martinez has really stood the test of time. Mans really had one of the longest US Title reigns in ages just a while ago.

  • Rey Mysterio is having a blast with this main event/main angle spotlight he’s been given and I love to see this.

  • Bad Bunny is the fucking man right now. Yeah the part timers get shit but at least they’re kicking ass in their valiant attempts. Looking at you too, Logan Paul.

  • Bad Bunny Vs Damian Priest in a street fight could main event WrestleMania Backlash in Puerto Rico and I wouldn’t even be upset.
