CI Wrestling Thread #56

Save of the century. For as much as Punk has run his mouth over the years, he'd still be at the top of my list of wrestlers who could time that pull off the table so perfectly.

 
Raw for tonight, first 30 minutes will be commercial free.

CM Punk to kick off the show.
Dakota Kai vs Katana Chance vs Shayna Baszler - WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament.
The New Day's 10th Anniversary.
Pete Dunne vs R-Truth.
 
The wheels are always turning in Punk's mind. He crashed the presser and was asked about his previous comments from years ago regarding Reigns. Most in his position would've peeled the curtain back and said he was wrong; that Roman has shown he's the guy. Nope. That's going to be the program of 2025 and Punk, along with Reigns and Heyman, are saving everything for the ring, so we got a "no comment" and a bit of awkwardness instead.

Opening segment was great with lots of threads to other stories affecting multiple people at once.

New Day segment was excellent. How do you turn on a preacher's son with a broken neck? Lol. Heel Day with Kofi and Woods as assholes is needed.

Great Raw and I haven't actually cared about the matches. It's a story-driven industry.
 
AEW is colder than a banker's heart during a Minnesota winter. After the Punk footage aired, I made a prediction that being so petty would turn fans off, leading to numbers in the 600k's by the end of the year. Turns out I was way too optimistic because they've had record lows more than once and have only been above 700k three times since August.
