    Raw recap & reactions: Jaida Parker runs her own play (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Jacob Fatu runs the wrong play and is blindsided by 946’s newest member: Jaida Parker. Well, at least we know she didn’t do it for The Rock. Jaida Parker is the newest 946 member. And, more than likely, this wasn’t her first night on the job. Raw kicked off with The Bloodline sans Roman Reigns in the ring ready for war. They called out 946, sent warning shots, talked about cars with tons of Petro and no brakes, and of course mentioned running plays. As an aside, they really need to stop talking

    SmackDown recap & reactions: Randy Orton keeps it real (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Finn Balor comes so close, Lash Legend punches her ticket, while Randy Orton digs into Cody Rhodes’ being on SmackDown. There’s an old saying in Hip Hop that has different meanings to different people, but it was the mission statement for at least a decade: keep it real. Every artist defined “real” for themselves. At its core, it always came back to being true to yourself. There were even Sprite commercials dedicated to that notion that featured rappers. I really do miss the 1990s. Anyway, I tho

    Raw recap & reactions: Mexico City gets raw (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Mexico City shows it should host every Raw going forward. I usually reserve this space for big angles or bigger matches. And yes, Raw’s main event was huge. But I want to really talk about the crowd because. as the commentary team noted, Mexico City was the third member of the crew this week. A good wrestling crowd gives energy. A great one helps tell the story. Raw’s audience was firmly the latter. Especially for the main event. Penta came into the arena on a horse. Not quite Zorro but not far

    NXT recap & reactions: How NXT is using meta storytelling (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Grayson Waller gets three new challengers, Kelani Jordan gets a rude awakening, and the men’s tag division is chaos. Have you seen Scream? Since this is writing and not audio, nor is there anyway for me to hear your response even if this was, for the sake of argument and my sanity I’ll assume everyone reading this answered “yes.” So you’re familiar with the concept of “meta” in which the storytelling is fully aware of genre tropes and expectations. That’s NXT right now. And I don’t have a proble

    Raw recap & reactions: Keys & OTM bloody The Bloodline (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Royce Keys’ crew ain’t nothing to F with on this week’s Raw. Raw was short but sweet this week, so I will follow their lead. Royce Keys & OTM don’t have an official name yet but they’re making one for themselves through solid storytelling. WWE is relying on actions from the crew and words from others to show these cats mean business. To call a beatdown “simple” feels weird but it was. WWE needed a credible follow up to last week’s debut for this crew. Assaulting The Usos before the show truly st
