the saga of sasha banks and naomi
walking out from wwe continues as it's
now been a week since the workout
happened when they walked into john
laurenitis office left their titles on
his desk and left during the show that's
what happened according to wwe's
statement anyway along with michael cole
saying on air how banks and naomi
disappointed the wwe universe while many
people have praised naomi and banks for
standing up to wwe for what they
considered poor creative a sticking
point that many have issues with is that
they decided to leave during the show
inconveniencing their fellow wrestlers
writers and producers some fans have
agreed with the sentiment of walking out
but not the execution saying that they
should have walked out before the show
before wwe had advertised the main event
and given them enough time to rewrite
well that actually might be exactly what
happened according to one twitter user
who has been in the news cycle before as
they are claiming to be a close friend
of naomi's and are followed by naomi on
twitter banks and naomi actually left
well before the show began tweeting to
say they were gone before the match
sheet was printed that's around 5 p.m if
true this would then mean that wwe knew
of their departure several hours before
the show went on air but then promoted
the main event six-pack challenge anyway
and could then claim that they walked
out during the show however in an update
from fightful select the opposite was
claimed to be true saying it was
reiterated to us by numerous talent and
staff that sasha banks and naomi left
during wwe raw at the start of the show
as first reported by ringside news and
then corroborated by brian alvarez wwe
are currently not working on any
creative plans for banks and naomi and
there are zero plans for them to return
zero talk about them in a creative
capacity whatsoever of course more and
more details keep emerging about this
ongoing situation so stay tuned to
wrestletalk.com for the latest on last
friday's smackdown wwe advertised they
were going to unify the tag team titles
which they actually did
caught me by surprise at the very least
i thought they'd just not follow through
like they did at wrestlemania backlash
but hey
they did it only just though as
according to dave meltzer on rescue
observer radio the decision to actually
unify the tag titles was a last minute
decision while the original plan was
always the angle at the end being the
post-match beat down this is reportedly
in order to set up riddle and orson as
future challenges for roman with attack
titles being used as a proxy in order to
get there hmm tag titles being used to
further singles feud where have i heard
that before and who was upset about that
again melts have reiterated that this
was not some long-term plan and they
wouldn't be revisiting it down the line
it was just the angle that was important
with vince deciding we've been pushing
this so much we might as well do it for
once wwe did actually deliver as
advertised the night's main event and
now hot tag to ollie

now it's time for my review of monday
night raw
in about five minutes following the usos
beating rk broads become the undisputed
tag team champions we got even more
brand split lol as the street profits
tanked with riddle to take on the usos
and sami zayn to open monday night
because 2022 is the one time of year
when roaring smackdown superstars go
head to head in direct competition
riddle came out all happy and smiling
for his entrance despite the
aforementioned lost and brutal beat down
of him and his tag partner you gotta get
your spots in but then became sad when
he got the mic he didn't just get
emotional over rk bros loss he got
emotional over that potentially being
the end of rk bro forever and mentioned
randy orton's back injury from out of
nowhere which is keeping him out of
action riddle led the crowd in an arcade
bro champ for randy watching at home
he's not watching riddle he stoned
playing video games and then fed that
emotion into the ensuing six-man tag
attacking the usos during their entrance
riddle and the street profits were a
fantastic babyface team with riddle's
hot tag being almost as hot as randy's
rental hit orton's signature spot
beating zayn with an rko as the usos
walked out it's a deep shame if arcade
bro is coming to an end but there might
be an opportunity here to push riddle as
a top single star bobby lashley cut a
stilted promo challenging mvp to a match
tonight where the winner would pick the
stipulation for lashley versus
in a cell match that said this promo got
over surprisingly well with the crowd
it's just a shame that crowd was
artificial pre-recorded applause
thank you
stipulation bobby would later lose the
match via count out meaning mvp gets to
pick the stipulation which i'm assuming
will be some form of cedric alexander
getting humiliated check your plane for
mechanical issues because wwe is going
back to saudi arabia for crown jewel on
november 5th damien priest commanded the
crowd to all rise
then called them sheeple for following
whatever people tell them to do i don't
know what you want from me judgment day
ht's the new member running through the
names of tommaso champa corey graves
alexa bliss drew mcintyre or the stars
they're currently feuding with liv finn
or aj not harland
because harland got fired ripley and
priest tagged against the belive club
next in a fun match while morgan showed
great babyface fire free got the win
thanks to edge interference and the
heels continued the beat down afterwards
next up came a king's court segment
where jerry lawler interviewed via mahan
for no apparent reason beer is best
booked as a silent monster lawler has no
connection with this storyline and it
wasn't even in memphis but cut down that
jacket looks familiar beard didn't
really answer any of jerry's questions
so lula started doing lame hairy person
jokes i as a hairy man i'm offended beer
threatened to beat up jerry so the
mysterious made the save
[Music]
alexa bliss took on not just nikki ash
next but also the lack of any character
direction dewdrop was in nicki's corner
coaching her to take things more
seriously which would be a better
dynamic if she wasn't called dewdrop and
bliss one in a few minutes with a
twisted bliss this was a total filler
segment that didn't progress anything
the only feud it did further in fact was
corey graves versus sasha banks and
naomi when he pointed out that nicki and
dewdrop were supposed to be in last
week's six-pack challenge before those
banks and naomi people let us all down
oh i'm so disappointed in you we got a
rerun of the miz versus cody rhodes
match next which miz built by saying he
never trusts anyone with a neck tattoo
to support that i just want to read this
cody snippet that's resurfaced from a
2007 copy of wwe magazine no there's
very little i wouldn't do on a dare but
i think tattoos are overkill i look at
some and i think they're beautiful but i
don't think i could ever get one getting
a tattoo doesn't make me any tougher huh
cody totally changing his opinion on
something
and that's the last time that would ever
happen this match was quite sloppy so it
was a bit of a relief when seth rollins
scores the dq there was then an
opportunity to take this feud to another
level when seth snatched the weight belt
roads are gifted to a kid in the front
row and then proceeded to whip code his
back seriously does cody have some form
of kink for this it was only one whip
though hardly enough to even give cody a
semi this needed a few more lashes to
really build that psychotic heat cody
returning the belt to the kid at the end
though was a great touch we got an
inferior repeat of one of last week's
best segments as ezekiel got a surprise
win on chad gable again like a true
babyface ezekiel then sprinted away
through the crowd as ko challenged him
to a match at helen a cell and the main
event was also a repeat as for the
second week in a row just this time it
was actually the plan oscar took on
becky lynch again where becky would be
added to the premium live event if she
won at least this made more sense as
becky complained to adam pierce about
oscar using the green miss last week to
justify a rematch infuriatingly meaning
pierce started this episode of raw
without a main event in mind you are
terrible at your job adam the match was
the inverse of last week really good
main action but with a dud finish asca
accidentally kicked bellaire in the head
which unconvincingly led to asca
immediately taking the loss when she
rolled in the ring what did you think of
raw let me know in the comments the
arcade bro fallout is intriguing and the
women's triple threat will be fantastic
but raw is feeling desperately stretched
with no world title no tag team titles
and now not even a randy autumn meaning
they're just retreading a lot of matches
and segments they've already done this
week's raw is 43
but as great as becky lynch is on screen
she apparently isn't liked backstage
find out the story now lynch returned to
wwe last summer with a new heel turn and
has been one of the most consistently
brilliant things in wwe since however
maybe that's just a fan perspective as
according to one former wwe star she
isn't well liked backstage
