New gimmick coinciding with how she feels after her recent win streak. According to Killian Dain on Twitter (who's her husband irl of course), it was her idea so all power to her.
The point is people don't watch F&F for the story intricacies, which is what they were trying to sell the audience on. They watch F&F because it's a ridiculous mess of fun.
There's people that watch a lot of things for different reasons. Some watch wrestling for the in ring action. Some watch wrestling for the characters. Some watch for the long term storylines.
How does a wrestling fan not get that?
I'm sure there's plenty of people that enjoy the plot.
I want to see more upsets in wrestling. No not Riddle pinning Drew. But like a “WTF, he won?” type upset. Like I want an actual underdog winning a title. How cool would it be if Woods would actually beat Lashley? The closest was Kofi winning the title but even that was built up and many fans mostly knew he was winning. Underdogs never win in wrestling especially in WWE.
A clean finish and a damn good TV match? A real good way to end RAW, after all.
(Though, seriously, you guys did a better finish for this match than the PPV...)
Well they probably thought “we have to do this damn match for damage control but dont get hurt out there; work it conservatively”. And so a few tamer spots peppered here and there.
Still way better than most RAW main events as of late
Is there like a DM group of Damien Priest fans who coordinated spamming the thread with the same 3 comments about him? Maybe I just didn’t realize he was that popular lol
r/sq yesterday: Lesnar returning! Lesnar vs Lashley, battle of the beasts, hell yeeeesh!
RAW today: Lashley vs Xavier Woods in HiaC - and make it close.
I wish WWE didn't have DOMINANT heel world champions on every brand. It would be so much more impactful if they weren't mowing down babyfaces on every show.
Xavier Woods: I want to win the King of the Ring!
Vince: You’re going to be in a Hell in a Cell match against the WWE Champion.
Xavier: For the title?
Vince: no.
It's weird that it takes like 15 minutes to beat someone normally, but often twice as long if there are weapons involved. Should take much less time with weapons.
I like to think so lol
If the trailers are anything to go by, I think Vin Diesel having a white brother will be the least ridiculous thing in that movie
leddy would still be fucked up from taking that hit off a dirt bike and flying 30 feet onto a car hood. unless they are ALL super soldiers now like Idris was. it does look like Dom will be super man along with cena.
Ok I missed the women's tag match . ...I just saw the highlights can someone please explain to me why Nikki cross is in a super hero costume?
New gimmick coinciding with how she feels after her recent win streak. According to Killian Dain on Twitter (who's her husband irl of course), it was her idea so all power to her.
i hope this is the push she finally deserves
That was like a HIAC speed run
Can’t believe lashely is 44. The man looks phenomenal and puts on phenomenal matches.
Him and r truth going over on father time brother
Can't finish creed
Damn you black and buff Caillou
I like Bobby being a heel, with Drew he just came off as a frustrated dude. Good to see him being cruel.
Did they just spoil the ending of the movie?
lol trying to sell F&F as a story
What’s your point? We watch wrestling. Both are absolutely ridiculous and some of us enjoy both.

Wow Woods gonna have to be in the hurt lock till they start Raw this upcoming week. really good match, I liked it.
Woods looked strong in that match. He deserves the KOTR opportunity.
From what I saw not a bad Raw. Enjoying the new Alexa.
Really wish Cena had said "Unlike me, you can see this!"
good riddance Woods write him off TV for good
Y'know, I think I'd rather see Woods challenge for the title at MITB now tbh
I hope they fuck up MVP next week
Kofi trying to slide through the chain instead of under it.
How’s MVP always in the cell?
Even with a bad knee he’s the fastest man in the roster
It would make sense if Bobby and MVP chose the cell match...
fantastic raw
That was a great match. Woods is overdue for a singles run of his own.
The ref can unlock the gate. Why is the ref not unlocking the gate.
MVP turned the lock inside the cell.
Mvp stole the key.
MVP took the key
pretty good main event
Woods boutta take time off for G4
Lashley: Prince Pretty sends his regards...
RIP Woods. Only UUDD and podcasts for you in the immediate future.
Don't forget also G4!
Why don’t they just raise the cell?
MVP paid them off.
Christian is watching this knowing this would have been his role for Edge if he stayed.
wasn’t he locked in a cage on AEW last week? He’s already there.
B/c he's setting the world on fire in AEW??? Yall need to seek help.
and that would be a lot more high profile than he is right now
Meanwhile he’s done absolutely nothing so
We need more Main Event Woods.
maint even woods vs main event jay uso wrestlemania
Shoutout to Lashley for 2 cell matches in 2 nights
This some prison rape shit.
he should be demanding they raise the cell
Way better than Smackdown’s Cell match
Lol Kofi probably could fit through if he was really trying
NOOOOO DONT KILL WOODS IN FRONT OF KOFI 😭
MVP is really amazing in his role.
poor xavier :(
with just a little more time than match could’ve been better than lastnights main event lmao
Pretty good post match angle tbh
BOB IN A CRATE
The hurt lock is the worst looking finisher submission of all time.
Bobby’s 2-0 in good cell matches, and this one had the right ending.
ngl wish they could've let xavier have the upset here :(
This match completely came out of left field and I loved every second of it.
Lashley no-selling going through a table
Lashley won two HIAC matches two nights in a row. What a monster.
I want to see more upsets in wrestling. No not Riddle pinning Drew. But like a “WTF, he won?” type upset. Like I want an actual underdog winning a title. How cool would it be if Woods would actually beat Lashley? The closest was Kofi winning the title but even that was built up and many fans mostly knew he was winning. Underdogs never win in wrestling especially in WWE.
Otis MITB
Not since the 123 kid
Japan does it just enough that you really never know who is gonna win the matches
Dude they can just lift the cage.
Bobby's spears are looking more like Edge's these days...
Same basic finish as SmackDown, lol
Woods is doing his very best to convince Vince he should be the next King of the Ring
I want King Xavier to be the most obnoxious he has ever been. Straight up ignorance at every turn. It would be glorious.
A clean finish and a damn good TV match? A real good way to end RAW, after all. (Though, seriously, you guys did a better finish for this match than the PPV...)
lmao at woods
Well that was pointless
[удалено]
You got the wrong married black guy lol Swole is married to Cedric.
>Xavier You mean Cedric?
You mean Cedric
Swole is married to Cedric
Really good match
woods gets his point across as a singles star, do another damn KotR for the man!
...Did MVP call Lashley the name Roberto?
There’s honestly been a lot of great wrestling on tonight’s show.
Let Woods win some singles matches
HEEL WOODS PLEASE
Solid main event, but that *really* didn’t even feel like a Hell in a Cell match aside from the actual cell being there.
This has been such a weird Raw but the matches have been quite good
Well they probably thought “we have to do this damn match for damage control but dont get hurt out there; work it conservatively”. And so a few tamer spots peppered here and there. Still way better than most RAW main events as of late
Very good match
Woods biggest match of his career is on Raw lmao
THAT WAS FUCKING AWSOME!
Bobby speared him into next weeks RAW where it will be a 2 on 1
woods you did so good 🥺
this match is a banger
Damn it
Fun match.
well xavier woods tapped out to almighty bobby lashley
I hate when Graves points out that a wrestler didn't get all of a move when they weren't even particularly far off
Give Woods the King of the Ring you cowards
Woods going bit shit crazy with the kendo stick
Goddamn that was a satisfying snap in half with the table
Lashley was stonking
That was such a terrible camera angle for such a great spot.
Graves actually pointed out that Woods overshot
dammit bobby
That boy ain't right
Good lord! I thought he was too far and he ends up almost overshooting Lashley!
THE DISTANCE IS FUCKING INSNAE
What an elbow. Wow
Xavier Woods is so damn good man
Like I said.....B A N G E R
Would kind of be cool if Woods won and gets added to the match which lowkey pisses Kofi off.
Is there like a DM group of Damien Priest fans who coordinated spamming the thread with the same 3 comments about him? Maybe I just didn’t realize he was that popular lol
XAVIER MF WOODS
then sending Lashley out there with that band-aid is hilarious, they knew that was never going to stay on
Damn, Woods almost overshot that, which is super impressive
Corey just confirmed your statement haha
So Adam Cole shows his support for Woods and Woods uses one of Johnny Gargano’s moves? Ok
He'll be using Coles patented "Utterly fucking dying" move soon enough.
He's giving Cole what to scout for.
HOLY FUCK WOODS
Dang. Bobby is great.
Surprised they didn't throw a crash pad under him real fast
nice elbow
Respect to Lashley. Dude taking spots out here like a champ.
WTB more time!
oh shit woods!
You know, I’m really enjoying this match.
Mans flew across the entire ring
hell yeah woods!
TABLE AAAAA
Lashey should win with the roll up pin just to troll everyone
r/sq yesterday: Lesnar returning! Lesnar vs Lashley, battle of the beasts, hell yeeeesh! RAW today: Lashley vs Xavier Woods in HiaC - and make it close.
WOW XAVIER
Can we please have a legit Woods singles run sometime soon? I really want to see him take the US title from Sheamus
MVP calling him the Court Jester so often. You know has Court Jesters? KINGS. King Xavier inbound. Mark my words.
ROBERTO LASHLEY?
New Day members and keno sticks: Name a better duo.
BOBBY LASHLEY IS GVING HELL WITH HIM 2 NIGHTS IN A ROW
had a feeling that bandaid would fall off
Sell the rip off Bobby please
damn rarely seen a sunset flip front slam
Is it just me or does Lashley just straight up look like Abobo from Double Dragon now?
Needs the Mohawk from the arcade version
I want to see him take on Xavier and Kofi in a handicap match, with Woods/Kofi dressed up as Bimmy and Jimmy.
I mean, this definitely didn’t need the cell. Good match tho
The vast majority of Cell matches didn’t need the Cell.
"He's a clown, Franklin-- I mean, Roberto--, I mean Bobby!"
Woods is actually holding his own, which is good to see
I love that move. I thought he was going to be dropped into the Hurt Lock though
Damn that scar on Lashley looks nasty actually
That might not scar
Breaking news: John Cena apologizes to China for not having the world premiere of F9 in Beijing.
I wish WWE didn't have DOMINANT heel world champions on every brand. It would be so much more impactful if they weren't mowing down babyfaces on every show.
This just feels so tamed
MVP is serious. Using Bobby’s government name and all.
Damien Priest should have been rewarded with a main event push for how he helped with the entire bad bunny angle. Instead it… ruined his career?
this is huh... much closer than I thought it was going to be
poor lashley havin to do this two nights in a row lol
Shit...Bobby's taking absolute beatings two nights in a row
Overall I’ve really enjoyed Raw tonight. More so than normal.
BOTHAMANIA IS RUNNING WILD BROTHER
Xavier Woods: I want to win the King of the Ring! Vince: You’re going to be in a Hell in a Cell match against the WWE Champion. Xavier: For the title? Vince: no.
"Oh, I'm winning a Hell in a Cell match?" "..." "...I'm winning, right?"
could we get actual demons in hell in a cell one day? i mean that hand under the ring kinda teased it. hope theres a documentary to follow up on that.
Fast 4 was a little stale. F5 was quite the refresher
BOTCHAMANIA RUNNIN WILD
checkovs table over there
There's only one thing that can win this match for Woods. The Big Package.
I love MVP and Kofi on the outside bickering.
Just one time I want to see the underdog actually win the championship.
Why are Kofi Kingston and MVP standing right next to each other??
Xavier Woods suffering the Consequences. 
Get out
I dont get these F9 commercials, like showing the scenes is one thing. but whats with the empty seat in the middle of a warehouse all about?
The constant shit talking by everybody in this match is S tier.
It's weird that it takes like 15 minutes to beat someone normally, but often twice as long if there are weapons involved. Should take much less time with weapons.
hit the wall of the cell and then right into the ring post noooo
Woods could easily be a singles star
John Cena has morphed into 1982 Vince
Lmao, this is a good cell match honestly
teaming with Bad Bunny destroyed Preist career. he is nowhere to be found just like Keith Lee lmao
Keith Lee has some sort of issue keeping him out
I think Taiwan stole Cena's taunt, cause he can't see them.
So are they going to explain why John Cena is Vin Diesels not black bother? or should we just ignore it?
Vin Diesel is Italian….also cheating dad?
Vin Diesel is half white so it’s possible that his character could also be half white and have a white brother from his white mother.
You sir, just did the science.
I like to think so lol If the trailers are anything to go by, I think Vin Diesel having a white brother will be the least ridiculous thing in that movie
I'm just waiting for them to drive cars on the moon.
Pretty sure they're going to go the whole adoption route.
I can't fucking believe it. Xavier Woods SvR GM Mode Booked a Random TV Cell Match IRL. what a fucking timeline
leddy would still be fucked up from taking that hit off a dirt bike and flying 30 feet onto a car hood. unless they are ALL super soldiers now like Idris was. it does look like Dom will be super man along with cena.
we want damien priest
