Raw || March 25 - 2024

[slightly-smarter-nat]

The eradication tour continues.

[slightly-smarter-nat]

To be fair since cody got screwed and bayley got screwed i can see them having rhea give the title up so it can be like "WHAT NO NOT MAMI" and it would be amazing fuel for wrestlemania but just like cody i'm tired of Nia and Nia vs Rhea at wrestlemania sounds a little underwhelming despite their past.

Now Liv vs Rhea at wrestlemania would be amazing since she's in her revenge era AND she of course has history with Rhea AND if she wins elimination chamber she can challenge Rhea or Rhea can challenge Liv is what i'm hoping for. Nia and Rhea should squash whatever they have at elimination chamber which probably isn't likely so we or I can get liv vs rhea and more of Livs revenge era. If not bianca vs rhea or nia maybe even raquel is fine. i just really love Liv and Rhea lol

Agreed, like they did the interview yesterday on Raw and it was just the same trash talk as always. Yet Rhea having the conversation with Becky in the ring weeks ago, to which Becky admits she’s worried Rhea is better than her and has to prove her wrong just adds some difference to the storylines! Having had Becky be ‘the man’ and suggest no one can beat her and have a moment of doubt with Rhea just puts a genuine question of who will win and it won’t be as predictable as Rhea retaining. (Like having Ivy Nile and Zoey Stark take her on, they were good matches but we all knew Rhea would retain based on the match opportunities given out every week and the promos).

If it’s not Becky vs Rhea, It would be cool if it’s Liv vs Rhea (as nothing has been addressed since Liv’s injury so it’s something different) as you say, they have history together. Going from tag team partners to enemies is a perfect way to show they know each other well enough to predict the other and keep the match interesting, and have sort of a winner takes all and either end their story or start something new. It’s not like Liv can’t handle a title either. Plus, with Rhea seeing Liv as an inconvenience rather than a threat it would be interesting how her character would change after losing to someone she’d assume would be an easy win over. I’m hesitant on Raquel, just because at Payback and the Raw afterwards we had the title match between herself and Rhea so it would be nice to have a different line up.

Ooh have you played the 2k games i've only played 23 and while i like it it's missing a LOT of people. there's a supercharger pack that unlocks all of them but there's still a lot of people missing like chris(tian, jericho, and benoit) sting, stunning steve, CM Punk, THE HARDY BOYZ, The dudley boyz, older versions of randy orton batista triple h and others.

there's a community creations mode where some people make those missing characters but it's not the same without the intro. move set and looks are pretty good but sometimes the names and music aren't.

there's a fuck ton if john cenas ranging from 02-now since we had to do showcase matches and unlock him and other characters. i heard 2k19 had the best roster. this game here just feels like it's made for the newer fans nothing wrong with that entirely it just feels lost.

Cody And Seth vs The rock and Roman would be interesting. The rock just went back heel and i saw him getting booed by the crowd in Vegas so him turning on roman wouldn't be shocking since bayley just got betrayed(bless her heart). or cody gets screwed over AGAIN that would just be horrible when you look at all this buildup OR RANDY ORTON tries to some Randy Orton shit(i love Randy's antics) now that would be insane but not out of character for Randy 😂I believe it's triple H and the fans on twitter think lol.

Yeah, I’ve played a few!! I agree, it’s missing a lot of the current roster too, but I think the majority of them have been added to 2k24 luckily- I can’t wait for the official Judgement Day entrances to be used now. I think the ones that you’ve named are missing due to past controversies (Chris Benoit) and other companies having open contracts with them-especially with the Hardy boyz and CM punk. The lack of older versions for Triple H, etc. is a shame as it would be cool to have the option to pick a favoured generation with maybe a newer wrestler. Also the cut off time for the game development seems to be very early in the year for the included gameplay I think.

I agree, it’s cool to see but definitely not as cool as having the nostalgia of hearing the intro music and seeing iconic entrances as they once were.

It’s a shame it doesn’t reflect how good the earlier games were where they were pretty up to date and still had the ability to give a good range of earlier generations of the WWE, etc. At least with 2k24 they seemed to have taken feedback on board and actually include more variety in matches, players, ring gear and options.

Especially with everyone pointing out when he was referring to the loser of Wrestlemania he was pointing towards Roman and when acknowledging the Tribal chief he had the loser sign up 😅 plus in his eyes, no one is above the rock, especially Roman reigns so it would make sense. I KNOW POOR BAYLEY 😭 I’m so glad they didn’t make out she had no idea what the others were all up to and actually had her turn on them before they turned on her fully because then what would she have learned from the four horsewomen? Randy Orton is just so chaotic you can’t even hate him for it at times. He’ll just be trash talking someone then RKO them and be like ‘so that’s settled then’ whilst they’re still processing being slammed onto the canvas 💀

[slightly-smarter-nat]

i'm ready for elimination chamber i wonder how it's gonna go for rhea since it's in australia but i also can't wait for this cody rhodes bs to subside since im kinda tired of hearing about his story and yada yada. i was more of a cody fan in the early 2000 when he had his normal look. he's still good now but it's like cody is being shoved down my face everytime i open a social media app OR MY WWE 2k23

YES-it’s cool we have the alternative cover with Bianca and Rhea for 2k24 too. I like Cody don’t get me wrong but some of the storylines including his just feel like they’re going around in circles (same challengers, same matches at the PPV’s, etc). Imagine though if he wins his match at Wrestlemania and then 5 seconds later Damian cashes in and takes the title ruining the ending to his story 💀 or we even get Cody & Seth vs Roman & The Rock. Or the Rock turning on Roman lol.

Personally I think Rhea will retain as giving Nia the championship just before wrestlemania wouldn’t make sense with Rhea having had it for so long, and I think they’ve been hinting for months for it to be Rhea Vs Becky, but who knows Liv’s revenge tour may influence the decision 🤷‍♀️

[slightly-smarter-nat]

yea the Buddy Matthews hate and bullying i've seen on Twitter a reddit and Instagram is just horrible.

Just recently Rhea responded to an AEW guy who made a rap about him and basically saying he was getting cucked by a kid named dominik.

a storyline involving them would be pretty problematic and the response from the fanbase would be extremely toxic especially when it comes to someone's love life.

I remember seeing a post that either wwe rhea or dom made and buddy commented under it saying something along the lines of i get to go home to her at night or she's still coming back to me and the fans ripped on him so hard but i thought he was just playing along with the story.

i'll link it here

Yeah I saw that about the AEW thing, Buddy didn’t even realise what he said at first did he but still the trash talk should be kept relevant towards the company as we’ve seen Edge and Lita being on the awkward end of personal lives being brought into promos 😳

Oh yeah so did I, he literally works in the same industry so will completely understand the whole storyline thing so obviously he’s going to join in when people question his relationship 😭 even when he wore the ‘Wanted Dirty Dom’ hoodie they picked up on it in the wrong way 😅 they can’t win

[slightly-smarter-nat]

Currently i like :

Randy Orton(i'm so sorry rhea it's the voices😔)

Rhea Ripley

Omg yes!! I actually missed so many good ones 😭 I would say Rhea would forgive you but she’s probably still mad at Randy Orton for interrupting Damian’s cash in at War Games lol 🥲 but you can’t beat his intro and the RKO so I agree 🤷‍♀️

Are you ready for the Elimination Chamber?!

[slightly-smarter-nat]

i saw an article on rhea speaking about buddy's return and she was all mami like about it. she states that i'm a very convincing girl i always get what i want but until then i'm happy with my domdom but i think he's sticking with the aew. he might come back for a segment involving rhea dom. that would be interesting

It would, especially with the whole thing of Buddy and Dom’s sister years back. It would be great for a segment but it would be so sad if they did ‘split’ Rhea and Dom up as she’s said he’s basically her sidekick now 😭

Plus with people trying to make Buddy feel insecure about things, it would probably be better if they were on separate companies to protect their relationship more- then again people will always find ways to interfere 🥲

[slightly-smarter-nat]

also do you see yourself writing for rhea in the future when request open back up

I definitely do, I have a list of ideas in my notes for quite a few wrestlers to be honest. It’s just finding the time to sort my writing out again 🥲
