The following has been announced for Monday's 4th of July RAW from Columbus, Ohio:
* A former SmackDown General Manager appears
* Titus O'Neil vs. WWE United States Champion Rusev with the title on the line
* WWE Champion Dean Ambrose vs. WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz in a non-title match
* 16-man Elimination Match with Team USA vs. Team International, participants TBA
It's like a fucking Smackdown card.
>former smackdown GM
Heyman?
>>1434720
Vicki Guerrero for sure.
I bet it's going to be Mike Adamle.
>>1434719
Roman knew how to get you to keep watching.
>>1434720
>mfw its steph
>>1434719
They literally did Dean vs the Miz on Smackdown a couple of days ago.
>>1434719
I'm sure the 16-man tag will be a wrestling classic that would bring a tear to Dave Meltzer's eye
>>1434719
I can only assume it's this bad because the rest of the roster still on tour.
>>1434725
Smackdown is non-canon until it goes live
>>1434719
>Team International
Do they even have 8 international heels? Rusev doesn't count as he's in another match.
>owens
>jericho
>sheamus
>del rio
>the fucking shining stars i guess
Who else?
>>1434729
That's kind of a shame because it looked like they were going to start a Cesaro/Rusev feud and that would have been way better than this Titus shit.
>>1434730
Rusev obviously but I can't think of any other active ones.
>>1434730
they don't need to be heels, it's just a showcase match
>>1434735
>team international
>not heels
This is WWE. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't an all heel team.
>>1434736
They'll have guys like Cesaro act out of character and diss America I'm sure
Team America will without a doubt have Jack Swagger, we know that
>>1434730
Sami Zayne,
Possible NXT Call up moment - Just for one day, who knows....Nakamura/Baloring
Knowing Vince he might throw the Club Members as Japan.
>Shining stars
Isn't Puerto Rico technically a part of U.S? I know Vince would put Alaska as a foreign land.
>>1434730
Jericho was born in the US
>>1434742
He spent the majority of his life before wrestling in Canada and i'm pretty sure he considers himself Canadian.
>16-man Elimination Match with Team USA vs. Team International, participants TBA
people have been whining for weeks about not enough wrestling on Raw
obviously tho this match is going to end when Zayn and Owens turns on each other costing their team the victory.
>* WWE Champion Dean Ambrose vs. WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz in a non-title match
Title for Title at Summerslam confirmed, Who's with me Mizfits?
>>1434719
I'm going to the smackdown in toledo the next day. I'll be watching a recap of a recap? Please save me seff

>Alexa Bliss released a blissful fart in this thread
no one wants to watch raw on the 4th so it might as well be filler shit
>>1434743
He also spend the majority of his early career wrestling in Mexico and Japan... so, he is pretty "international" for a team international.
Though making Team International be wrestlers with international experience, rather than based on nationality, would just make the guys on team US that never wrestled anywhere else sound bad.
>tfw have tickets to this raw
>the crowd was dead silent last time they were in columbus too
please kill me
>>1434721
>bricking vicki back to correct the fact that she's the only person to get the last laugh against steph
>>1434742
So what? His character is Canadian.
>>1434774
Fucking lol, they will definitely do this.
>>1434742
IM FROM WINNIPEG YOU STUPID IDIOT
>>1434719
It's an american holiday so of course RAW is going to be completeley skippable
Go out and celebrate independence day you nerds
>non-americans still watch WWE despite constantly making fun of them by celebrating american holidays while americans aren't even watching because they're all busy out lighting fireworks, drinking and partying
Team USA
- R-Truth
- Goldust
- Dolph Ziggler
- Zack Ryder
- Big Show
- Apollo Crews
- Cena
Team no USA
- Fandango
- Tyler Breeze
- Baron Corbin
- Owens
- Del Rio
- Sheamus
- AJ Styles.
It doesn't matter the truth origin of the wrestlers.
>>1434758
Good post

Apparently this is a new NXT signing.
This is what Haitch was signing while missing. You might have to turn your volume up a bit because the mics were fucked during the event.

This is as funny as Ziggler's stand up
>>1434815
>Apparently this is a new NXT signing.
looks like a good wrestler desu
>>1434824
It's not supposed to be funny, it's a feminist recital. The guys laughing at her are jackasses.
>>1434848
It's as funny as Ziggler's stand up
>>1434719
>World champion Dean is feuding with comedy cowardly secondary champion
Fucking municipality of this man.

>Put Cesaro in the international team
>Everybody on the US team is out/caught up in a brawl outside
>Rusev is beating up Swagger, puts him the Accolades
>WHO WILL MAKE THE SAVE?
>Cesaro uppercuts his teammate Rusev and helps Swagger up
>Both of them do WE THE PEOPLE
>One night only reunion of Real Americans cleans house for a bit
>Cesaro is taken out by Rusev to further their feud
>Match goes on
Would mark, tbqh
>>1434719
This USA vs international match is very problematic and racist.
A month ago it was speculated that the WWE know this would be a terribly rated RAW due to the holiday and were going to not put any effort into it.
Guess they were right.
>Just throw half the roster into a themed match
>>1435007
it was speculated that the thing from every year would happen this year?
my god, what wizards we have
As long as dean is on the card ratings will go up
>>1435092
ur fat
>>1434719
>A former SmackDown General Manager appears
What if it's Kurt Angle?
>>1435090
they expected it to be the worst rated show in raw history
>>1435114
Vickie Guerrero
>>1434824
Rusev will lose to Titus for muh patriotic moment. Not a single heel will win
>>1434719
Gonna laugh so hard when there are non-Americans on team USA.
Guess for USA:
Sami Zayn
Cesaro
Big Show
Jack Swagger
The Lucha Dragons
Apollo Crews
Dolph Ziggler
International:
Kevin Owens
Jericho
Del Rio
Sheamus
The Shining Stars
The Dudley Boys
>>1435642
>Zayn
>Cesaro
>Dragons
>"American"
>>1434719
Doesn't sound so bad. Just a standard Raw, but with a multi-man MUH PATRIOTISM match that could be decent fun.
Also, this Dean/Miz mini-feud. Fucker got laid out by THE MIZ on Smackdown. You can tell they have zero vestment or trust in him as Champ.
>>1435655
>dean vs miz
>that state of deanetty, the wwe champion
>>1435244
it'll be heyman
>i am the advocate for the beat incarnate brock lesnar

>crowd excited as fuck and popping like mad
>suplex city chants break out louder than raw after mania 31
>well unfortunately the beast is not here tonight, but you can see him July 18th on the draft edition of RAW
>heyman steps out of the ring and walks down the ramp to the back

>next match is dolph ziggler vs baron corbin

>You can tell they have zero vestment or trust in him as Champ
We know want this to be FedoRoman, but it isn't
They are just doing a bunch of maintenance and obligatory filler they need to get out of the way because no one will watch on 4th of july anyway
>inb4 record low ratings memes flare up because 4th of july ratings drops totally haven't happened before (except every other year)
>Team Captain for US team
>Angle's music hits
A man can dream
>>1436515
>bringing back angle on what is expected to be the lowest rated raw ever
Not gonna heppn.
They should just air a classic WCW Nitro show, no one is gonna notice anyways.
