Broadcast on the Sept. 30th "Season Premiere" edition of WWE Raw:



You gotta wonder if the newest lead storyline was written by new creative head Paul Heyman or straight from Vince McMahon himself. This is, apparently, their major hook to draw people in from watching AEW's debut this week. Keep in mind, the couple Lashley and Lana, are the heels.

RAW IS NTR just doesn't have the same ring to it.

And the show started off good all things considered from what i heard.

Trying to dish on one of my fetishes for shitty WWE propaganda...can they get any sadder than this. But i guess if your still watching wresting at this point, its pretty sad in general

As a former WWE fan until like earlier this year, I don't understand how people still subject themselves to this. Even outside of gross bullshit like Vince's direct ties to the Trump administration and the disgusting deals with Saudi Arabia, the actual shows themselves are just fucking abysmal. Absolute slogs to get through. And there's like 10 hours of programming a week MINIMUM if you want to stay caught up.

NJPW exists and AEW is promising as hell. People don't have to suffer through this.

Vince does this to breakup real life couples he doesn't like. He's running the exact same storyline with Mike and Maria Kanellis right now. The plan is to have them do this storyline and then it end up with real life cheating and breaking up of the couples. That's how it usually goes. WWE continues to be trash and I won't watch it again. AEW is it for me.

What in the holy fuck?

Was this a Vince or a Heyman decision? Either way, fucking really?

Glad I stopped watching Raw live a long time ago. Bring on AEW where I won't have to worry about shit like this.

I remember back in my day, they put a motherfucker through three stacked folding tables off the top of an extra tall ladder to draw the crowd.

Poor kids these days are getting cheated with this nonsense.

Who cares if they heels or faces? It was just stupid not really news worthy. They wasted Lashley since he returned and Lana can't wrestle anyway.

I'm not defending Vince but he literally does it with every couple. He did it with his own daughter and Triple H. Didn't they end up feuding and Stephanie was with Jericho and even Angle. So he's consistent in that regard.

I feel bad for Rusev. Great talent getting constantly put in these dumb stories with his wife. It's 2019. This jerry springer stuff is 1990s rubbish.

Vince seems to really, really hate that Rusev is with Lana in real life.

if this was Elizibeth kissing Hogan, Macho Man would be doing a lot more than just standing there looking at the ground, shaking his head.

This is actually the second concurrent cuckolding storyline going on right now, for who who don't keep up with WWE.

Also you can feel sorry for Rusev and Lana blah blah.

But if they have signed new contracts then they are fools especially with the money Rusev can make outside WWE.

I kinda haphazardly following it but aren't their two storylines like that right now in WWE?

This isn't the first cuckhold storyline they've done with Rusev and Lana. Also yeah, they would be the heels in this case given this was horrible and not only did it hurt Rusev but nobody seems to have liked it judging from what I've been seeing. The only positive is that it gets Rusev and Lana in storylines again but at what cost?

Just another thing that proves Vince still hates Rusev. He deserves better.

For those who don't pay attention, this is actually the second active cuck storyline on Raw
