About this episode
In this episode of Wrestling Soup, Anthony Thomas and Joe Numbers discuss their frustrations with this week's episode of RAW. The hosts feel RAW was lackluster and uninspired, with phoned-in segments and boring tropes. SmackDown had some fun moments, but overall the wrestling shows fall short. They touch on injury updates, including Liv Morgan's shoulder dislocation. The hosts also joke about the absurdity of certain storylines, such as Goldberg facing Gunther, and talk about WWE's aggressive expansion strategy and how it impacts various wrestling styles like Lucha Libre. Additionally, the episode features commentary on the problematic booking of women's storylines and the overuse of certain talent. Overall, their dialogue highlights a need for better writing and more engagement from wrestlers and audiences alike. 00:00 Raw Recap: A Disastrous Week 01:53 Seth and Cody: A Tired Rivalry 02:52 Liv Morgan's Absurd Angle 05:44 Corey Graves Steps Up 07:50 Women's Division Woes 20:51 Goldberg's Controversial Return 32:28 AJ Styles vs. JD McDonough 34:09 Bailey vs. Becky Lynch: A Heated Exchange 35:32 Bailey's Decline and Bird Girl's Struggles 39:05 Liv Morgan's Injury 43:08 WWE's Title Dynamics and Future Prospects 55:20 WWE's Global Expansion and Lucha Libre 01:11:58 Concluding Thoughts on WWE's Current State Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wrestling-soup--1425249/support .
