Thoughts on Raw 10/13/2025
My G-d, I love Seth in manic egomaniac mode. Love the new entrance too
That "we don't need each other, we chose each other" lowkey sounds like wedding vows lol
That said, I don't love the way Seth was talking about Bronson specifically. He didn't have the knowledge to beat the Tribal Chief? Bitch please, the only thing that man was needing was the opportunity
Dom vs Penta was pretty solid but I could barely focus on it because I was too busy visionposting in my brain. The little hammer thingy was a great touch, we love a clean-for-Dom win
Sorry, men cancelled forever, Iyo is wearing Rhea's jacket
Rhea vs Kairi was so fucking good. Like so fucking good. Like I'm gonna need a few more rewatches good
The DDT on the table was fucking nasty and Rhea was selling that concussion like a fucking champ
The way Iyo went to Rhea and was holding her in her lap and helping her up and carrying her ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ like samijey whomst?
Okay, men uncancelled, Bronson is having a proper hometown match that's actually about him. I'm so glad they let him win 100% clean and only had shenanigans and twin drama afterwards.
Not much to say re: twin drama; it's true that Jimmy shouldn't have put Jey in that position when Jey had his contendership match coming up. I'm actually very excited for where they seem to be going with Jimmy's character development, and the oracle's prediction remains steadfast
Let's talk about what really matters: FOREHEAD TOUCHES 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
If anyone's still not shipping BronBron after tonight I honestly don't know how to help you
I loved Lyra and Bayley's matching fits. They do make a pretty interesting tag team. I love how "ok I guess this is happening then" Lyra is, and how all sides of Bayley have taken to her. And of course my beloved Roxyquel as hot and evil and mean as always, very chef's kiss
My stomach fell to my knees after that Seth segment. Not just the very blatant foreshadowing in Seth's speech, but the way Bron reacted (or rather, didn't react) to it. He's so tired of playing along with everyone's bullshit
So very happy for Maxxine to get that title shot. And the you deserve it chants! It would be wild for the IC title to stop by her before going home to AJ Lee, but it doesn't feel 100% impossible. Wonder if Jess will ref again lol
I love Stephanie and Stephanie's 'fit so much. I am DELIGHTED that Raquel interrupted in Spanish and that evil babygirl is going for the title. Especially because Kabukis vs Rhiyo need the breathing room away from the belt and/or towards the tag belts.
Raquel's subtle stepping up in front of Roxy hold me ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ BronBron and Roxyquel are the two most slept-on ships in this entire place istg
I was only half-watching the thriple threat tbh. On acount of the dread. If the title shot came down to who gave the best performance, it'd have gone to LA Knight. But of course torturing Seth takes priority.
I loved Bronson's relative lack of surprise at the spear lmao. Just a very mild "oh, we doing this already?"
I am so pleasantly surprised at how this turned out and how early it's happening. People were predicting buildup to WM43 for it. I'm especially happy that they didn't chose Paul, that was my biggest fear. They chose themselves and each other and Paul is their lackey now
And my G-d, I'm so happy for Bronson. He got to have this big plot moment in his hometown crowd
You know what? As far as I'm concerned, the last straw for Bron was the way they both were both talking about Bronson. That's my canon now
