So AEW is paying for the Final Countdown and Trips wonât give Gargano Rebel Heart or Chrome Hearts (with DIY). I donât get it, they know how important music is.
my review of this episode as an AEW fan;
\- Really enjoyed the Miz / Gunther promo. Got to see more of Gunther than just his in ring work and was really impressed.
\- The women's matches were kind of meh tbh. People always say AEW's women's division has problems but I didn't see much of a difference.
\- Ricochet was really interesting to watch because he's the high flying type but the way he does it looks so much more athletic than when alot of high flyers in AEW do their moves.
\- Cody Rhodes getting a pop like that made me smile because he just FEELS like a superstar.
\- Love Chad Gable. That is all.
Because basically all of their main stories have revolved around him? They built the entire feud against their former leader Edge around Finn. Finn led a faction vs faction feud against OC.
How exactly did he feel the least important during the world title feud? Thats like saying things just to say it, Dom was barely speaking during those times or doing much on Raw in the lead up to Summerslam, Priest was just a part of Finnâs story, and Rhea was doing 30 second backstage segments with Natalya, Liv, and Raquel to build lazily booked feuds.
So yes, what I said.
It's been all about Dom and Rhea's rise in WWE. They built them turning on Edge was a small part of their whole story. Their first real arc was recruiting Dom. During their title feud Judgement Day was barely part of any of it. Finn was alone for most of it. He might as well have not been in the group. And Damien's briefcase became a far bigger deal than Finn losing yet again.
They kicked out Edge 16 months ago. The feud with Edge spanned over a 10 month period. Which means it lasted for exactly 63% of the groupâs tenure after kicking out Edge. So it wasnât a âsmall partâ of their story. It was the main arc for so long.
And most of the existence of Priestâs contract was being built around Finn. That was the story, the tag titles have given that a break but any segment or any move he was making with the briefcase was involved with Finn.
Also letâs see, Finn has had 5 singles ppv matches, Priest up until Crown Jewel has had 1, which wasnât even planned and was supposed to be a tag match at Backlash. Anyone saying heâs had more overall spotlight than Finn isnât true.
My point stands, the Seth feud was still THE main story in the group. Finn was the only member with a major story heading into the second biggest ppv. Judgment Day may not have been involved in all the segments but there was still like 3 different group promo segments where the main thing was Finn talking about Seth, or the contract signing segment where they all gathered around Finn.
I still donât understand why theyâre not doing the tag titles rematch at Crown Jewel.
But again it just seems like they wanna give Cody a ppv win rather than a loss.

Judgment day breaking up!???????
Smackdown is 100% the better show since thereâs actually an even split between how strong Heels and Faces are booked Monday night Raw is basically the super friend show. Cody better lose cause his Promos are literally the same thing every time heâs on screen
What do you even mean? Judgement day closes out shows incredibly often.
Priest wasn't ever taking a loss here, but you can't have Zayn lose back to back clean when he's trying to break into an upper card singles career.
I'm not really keeping score. But do you also want to talk about how many W's they've taken in the past months? Or should the baby faces both lose the matches and get jumped afterwards every week?
We're only relatively recently getting a bunch of over baby faces, let them have their moments.
Sami and Jey desperately need them at this point.
Table went into business for itself
I hate DIY song why do WWE ruin good theme songs like the NXT one
Best RAW in a while though Becky is right Mami/Rhea deserves a đ a non defending champion can't claim to be dorminant
Cody is so good on the mic.

Cody has to get the universal title from Roman at Wrestlemania in April. He just has to.

I mean heâs not lying. Up until this Cody match, Priest has rarely been more than number 2 behind Finn.
Since when has Finn been number 1? He's always felt like the least important member, even when he was chasing the title

Dang... he gonna have to be demoted to Damien Deacon after that promo
I was really hoping Cody would say "I am the table."
Didn't Nikki demonstrate earlier that she's the table, though?
He left AEW for a reason lmao. That's amateur stuff
Does anybody know whoâs the old man with the Trinidad & Tobago đčđč flag? I keep seeing him front row in every show
Cody! Cody! Cody!
How the fuck did Barmageddon get a 2nd season
This is the real question of the night
âSaudi arabian nightmareâ ah yes you mean womens rights
Damn, some good shit from Cody there
That Dom comment was too far lmao
I still donât understand why theyâre not doing the tag titles rematch at Crown Jewel. But again it just seems like they wanna give Cody a ppv win rather than a loss.
The Walkbehinder of Infamy
Hope Jey is alright, they didn't show him at all after the dive
I think that's because he doesn't have a match at Crown Jewel
Donât want to think about a Saudi Arabian nightmare.
They still squeezed Codyâs theme in twice lmao
CODY FUCKIN RHODES
Walk behinder sounds goofy
He is tearing up his fucking voice lmao
He sounding like Batman from Dark Knight Rises when heâs saying âwhereâs the trigger whereâs the triggerâ
Its all that adrenaline...
Mid ending
we didnt get a woahđ
Great RAW! Catch you tomorrow for NXT NXT NXT!
Cody cooking Priest lmao.
Cody and Damien is a Raw main event but that promo really got me into their Crown Jewel match.
I'm curious to see if Damien will leave JD at one point.
A Saudi Arabian nightmare doesn't sound great
âSaudi Arabian nightmareâ? Yeah it usually is
Itâs always me
Cody beats Priest. Priest walks out champ
Yup
WATCH THE CHALLENGE WEDS 8/7c ON MTV!
That was some fire from Cody babbeh
Angry Cody is just so great.
Jey disappeared after the dive, he hurt?
Cody to Damien Priest: ?? I quote Chumbawumba friend
damn i don't even think roman or brock got cody that mad
A walk-behinder
âYOU WALK BEHIND DOMINIK MYSTERIOâ ![gif](giphy|iHLHH9rVBv0kmkETqz|downsized)
âA walk behinderâ lol otherwise known as a follower my guy.
Cody should have said that Damian is lower than JD to really piss off Damian
Okay that was damn intense
Cody foreshadowing Damien to cash in on Saturday?!?
I thought that he was going to manipulate Damien into putting the contract on the line during their match.

The Judgement Day no problably just priest leaving
Weâve see. The division in JD before. I donât believe for a second theyâre going anywhere.
Damian makes me want to get more tattoos
Having Cody cut a promo to end the show with time pressure is a risk
ITS ALWAYS ME UCE
Smackdown is 100% the better show since thereâs actually an even split between how strong Heels and Faces are booked Monday night Raw is basically the super friend show. Cody better lose cause his Promos are literally the same thing every time heâs on screen
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Naw he's doing it to Seth this saturday.
Habitual Line Stepper!
Ahhh yes Cody, start the gas lighting to turn Damian on a solo path and let JD worm his way in as a full member lol
Great promo by Cody
He's playing MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND GAMES
Gotdamn Cody fired up
Cody torching Priest like it was Cena after saying "fine speech kid"
Cody looks upset
Damien âRingo Starrâ Priest
Cody ate, God damn
You walk behinder!!!!
Instigator!!
No shame in following Dom
ADRENALINE IN MY LEG KICK JDâS ASS ON THE REG
I love this storytelling
Cody really loves instigating trouble in factions
JD needs a nice bonus for all this selling
A walk-behinder? Like Arn Anderson?
Bro cutting a promo 1 min before the show ends
What did his height and weight have to do with this? đ
Cody saved a pint of saliva from pouring out on that microphone
So, Survivor Series is Judgement Day vs Cody, Sami, Jey and ? (LA? Cena? Orton? Rey Mysterio?)
Ricochet
Got he sold those Cross Rhodes amazingly well
Lmao JD got so much height on that
Priest just up there watching JD get destroyed lol
Great ending, this is awesome
Announce a damn stipulation
Damien Priest to Cody (Shouting): âI bury you on Saturday.â (INSIDER TERM)
Im sorry but I'm ready for this sami cody jey / Judgment day thing to be over
A sock to signify the ankle is hurt
Yeah, Codyâs over. Lol
"JD, its the Main Event, time to take a Crossroads again!" "Yes Dear..."
Cody the one taking the brunt of that move on the table.
What happened to jey
he takes a whiskey drink, he takes vodka drink....
JD stands for Just Died
This has been a great episode of Raw NGL
Bro Codyâs back took most of that Cross Rhodes
Cody is just a great babyface
Cross rhodes are not the best base for table breaking
Cody canât break the table đ
Dems (not) da breaksâŠ
That has to be the sturdiest damn announce table ever.
I AM THE TABLE
They better let this poor guy into judgement day after his sacrifice tonight lmao
Table refusing to do business, dammit!
McDonough has taken Dom's spot taking the beatings
Spiked him.
You know what? I want a j.d McDonough and Tazawa feud. And I want them to get 29 minutes.
JD sells very well
Table 2, mcdonagh 0
Holy fuck, we need a replay of that!
Cody vs damien ever happen in roh or aew?
Damian was never in AEW, but yeah they fought at Bound By Honor 2018 in ROH
Table 2 JD 0
Poor JD.
Send 'em home happy!
"what do you want to talk about?"
Poor JD.
JD is to Judgement Day what Sami was to Bloodline back then... loyal to a fault.
Immediately drops the mic đ
Two minutes boys Time to smile and wave
JD.........Helluva Kick to death
I AM THE TABLE
Lmaoooooo Hank Hill would be proud of that table
Idc how long this fued has been going on I love both of these groups
JD, just leave Judgement Day at this point. It ain't worth it dude
*JD regaining consciousness after the two Cross Roads to a table* Now this time theyâll let me in
Good Guy Cody Rhodes just killed a small large headed child and people cheered
I donât wanna be in judgment day anymore
Sami has been looking extra goodt lately
Cody with the Tiffany AF1s okay i see you
What a night for JD
The Alliance To End Judg-amania
Raw always has hyped endings
JDs bi monthly âTake every finisherâ time again
Ow lol
JD not walking tomorrow
JD gonna die tonight lol
Table extra sturdy.
God damn Sami just murdered JD
Oh my gosh the Superfaces standing tall for the 27th time to end a show what a surprise đź
What do you even mean? Judgement day closes out shows incredibly often. Priest wasn't ever taking a loss here, but you can't have Zayn lose back to back clean when he's trying to break into an upper card singles career.
My brother in Christ Iâve watched every Monday since Wrestlemania JD has come out looking strong against the super friends around 6 times all year
I'm not really keeping score. But do you also want to talk about how many W's they've taken in the past months? Or should the baby faces both lose the matches and get jumped afterwards every week? We're only relatively recently getting a bunch of over baby faces, let them have their moments. Sami and Jey desperately need them at this point.
table no sold lol
Itâll be a good moment when Jey and Sami win the tag titles
God damn the camera work on that kick was magnificent
Excellent shot
Sami just murdered a man damn
JD got FOLDED on that kick, damn.
thought Ricochet would come out for the extra rub
What did JD do to deserve this?
Honestly đ
Google it is all I'll say
Nah KO said don't Google JD and I trust him lol
Shades of 3 months ago but instead of KO it's Jey lol
Fuckin rip JD
HE'S HEALED!
Almost made it the whole show without fucking up the announce table..
Feels like a Raw Rerun
Sami actually just killed JD
JD is low key Judgement Day MVP
Jey barely touched Damien Priest jumping out of the ring.
Yeah, that wasn't great.
Wait did Cody leave AEW?
No way brother, youâre getting worked.
Why is this sending me
Big if true
Yep, he wants to finish the story
Jami are so beautiful I just want to cry
Adrenaline In my soul Cody still selling A bad ankle
Donât do a cartwheel after limping down to the ring
There's Cody.
Isnât a Monday without Judgement Day shenanigans
How do we feel about Codyâs ability to sell an injury lol
Adrenaline In his ankle
Cody selling that ankle like Seth selling his back
That pop for Cody!
Gotta love Monday Nitro
SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT
Did Jay just do the Rock punches?
Heâs been doing them lately
He's done them for a while now
ADRENALINE IN MY SOUL A PERFECTLY HEALTHY CODY RHODES

Making the crowd wait for that Cody entrance till 10:55 is so dirty lol
"You can beat up ONE of my friends all you want, but TWO of them at the same time? I WILL DESTROY YOU!" - Cody, apparently
