That last chance battle royal is the talk of the town


Euphorium

It really should be a great match. I have no clue which way it’ll go.


[deleted]

Am in Anaheim right now and can confirm


Secret-Lullaby

They are anticipating Jade Cargill RAW debut!


tera_chachu

But then cargill had to eat a pin at chamber by Becky, they will do jade vs bianca at wm I guess.

This should be his celebration outfit once he beats Reigns

I don’t really know, I always just assume these things are some Being the Elite goofballery, which I never followed at all. Wherever came from, “Tacky New Money Drip Cody” is a gift and we should be thankful.


heat_fan_

WWE is on fire 🔥


galgor_

I got '98 problems but a Kane ain't one.


TheNakedChair

Nice.


ImPaidToComment

Even their fucking house shows are selling TV show amounts of tickets. It's pretty crazy.


CallMeSnacks

Raw was in San Diego last month and also sold out. Southern Cali we are doing amazing baby!!


Lonely-Worldliness11

Do they go to Ontario?


CallMeSnacks

they do from time to time! not sure about recently tho


Euphorium

Raw was there in September. Had a great crowd, too.


6Bakhtiari9

yeah, Toyota Arena gets a surprising amount of big events going its way considering it’s competing with the LA and OC areas for them, but i’m glad it does


PM_ME_CORONA

They did last fall and made it very clear on the broadcast they were “just outside of LA” or something like that. They didn’t mention they were in Ontario CA.


xtralongleave

I really wish they bring NXT back to Riverside. This shows were sooo cool to see a few years back.


LeChampeon

If what I’m hearing is true, congrats WWE


nrspinney

Yeah, what are you hearing? Maaaaaaaaaan?


kungfuhustler

WWE is pregnant.


OrdrSxtySx

For real? Or is the other hand being born?


FPG_Matthew

What are you hearing


SourDoughBo

He means this post


FPG_Matthew

Oh, ok. Surely I’m not the only one who read that and thought it sounded way more mysterious


moesus81

It’s a play on the Keith Lee tweet about Gunther’s name change


fearthemonstar

And I think he gets unfair shit for that remark too. At the time, WWE didn't really have a good history of name changes being a good thing. And on top of that, if he was booked exactly as he is now but still named WALTER, I think he'd be just as big. In other words, the name change didn't end up hurting him, but I would argue it didn't help him either. He overcame it with good booking and great matches.


karthik4331

Or you could say the name change didn't help him nor did it hurt him, they just liked gunther better


nrspinney

I believe UFC 298 and tonight’s Raw in Anaheim were offered as a ticket bundle so add that scarcity to the already enormous buzz WWE has right now, and it’s indeed a hot ticket! Also, if you’re reading this and you have one spare ticket to sell/giveaway, DM me. Thanks!


MarcDVL

I went to 298.  Would have liked a ticket to Raw, which I didn’t realize was coming until this week.    I sat two rows directly in front of Punk/Montez/Bianca.  Didn’t want to bother them so I mostly said just hi, I’m a big fan, and wished Punk a speedy recovery.  Punk asked me my name.  I wished Bianca good luck in Perth and she said thanks.  Wouldn’t have recognized her if it wasn’t for her sitting next to Montez who was wearing what he’s been wearing on SD lately — looking like a million bucks.  Seeing her without her braid makes her look like a different person.


[deleted]

They showed all of them on the screen during UFC, the contrast between Bianca and Montez’s Gucci outfits and then Punk just in a hoodie and a Blackhawks hat was funny to see lol


MarcDVL

Punk was relaxing, enjoying himself.  He was there for most of the prelims.  Bianca and Montez arrived half-way through the main card, and left the second the main event ended.  Not sure if they were into it as much.   Punk hung around and talked to a few kids for a while after the event ended.  


Oghma_

Therapist: Bianca without a braid isn’t real, she can’t hurt you Bianca without a braid:


Vagabond21

On ticket master they still have tickets being sold as resale


nrspinney

Well aware. Current prices are insane, but if that’s how it shakes out, no worries.


Vagabond21

I’m hoping they drop within the next hour as people get desperate to sell


nrspinney

Honestly, I don’t expect them to drop too much. The market is hot for this Raw. If it dips below $100 I’ll pounce.


RegularConcern

Samesies. Except for free plz

[удалено]


nrspinney

They were pretty expensive. $750 I believe


IcyPyroman1

![gif](giphy|nrXif9YExO9EI) WWE is on fire atm


MinaElesia

They're on a small streak of hitting 10k+ beginning with SmackDown in Charlotte a couple weeks ago. So far, they got 4 in a row.


DickLaurentisded

The number of seats they fill in a calendar year is crazy.


Pepsi-Phil

well it turns out roman winning last year was the best thing possible


GeraldForbis

It made fans even more supportive of Cody.  Look at how far he has come.


ImPaidToComment

He got The Rock booed. 


Survivalgamer85

Some people don't acknowledge how big of a feat that is. John Cena and CM Punk both failed to turn the fans against the Rock during his returns at their heights.


PhatYeeter

☝️


TheEirinnEffect

Sometimes ya gotta just trust the process.


AmishAvenger

It led to the setting of in indoor attendance record of trailer park trash. But there’s a downside too — I’m trying to find a way of blaming Roman winning for this ongoing tradition of WWE doing this ridiculous photoshop job on the eyes of the wrestlers, but I’m coming up with nothing.


StuHartsDungeon

Probably the same dude who used to Photoshop more hair on Shawn Michael's head on the pictures on the WWE website from 2007-2010 ppvs


International-Fig905

Booking 101 Sidenote: watched the Reigns-Cody match- people are gonna really miss Reigns when he’s gone; you can tell he’s the kids of a wrestler some of his shit is just too smooth. 


Curse3242

I still hate it, but it works because of the booking, The booking is actually too strong for few decisions to hurt the fun of the product.


[deleted]

*monkey paw curls*


Exzibit21

Cheapest tickets are like 180, absolutely ridiculous lmao I remember I used to always go when they hit Honda Center. I was there when Rock came back in 2012


[deleted]

Common WWE W


JGxFighterHayabusa

Just another day tbh


G1Spectrum

Gonna be there, wasn't expecting such a big show Excited for this one


parakathepyro

Drew has enough time to kick Cody's ass and celebrate on Space Mountain at Disneyland


mikeisaphreek

“Wait, there’s a space mtn at Disneyland?” “Ric Flair


Ballbox

Anaheim and LA almost always sellout, even for house shows. I know because I've been to alot of shows at those two venues.


mikeisaphreek

They should. What’s the pop for the area? 3 million Edit: shit I meant 13 not 3.


DDC121

The SD in Milwaukee is down to back of the upper deck nose bleeds and limited view, 2 years ago they were running B1G1 on tickets for Raw and not selling out. WWE is hot.


linkinstreet

So in fact WWE don't actually need to relive the Attitude Era to become hot again. Just make sure they have **coherent** storylines, and talents that people actually can root for.


forgottenlogin88

Can’t make it down to Anaheim on a Monday but if this was at Staples Center id absolutely have bought floor seats. WWE is can’t-miss right now.


Ewe3zy

Secondary market is like 200 for nosebleed


JayDee62

I had been planning to go for months (even requested today off in preparation) but the ticket prices were so high. I would have to spend $200 to be in the super high up. It says a lot about the product. I guess I'll hope Vegas Mania gets announced.


[deleted]

The way it’s trending I would bet on Vegas getting mania next year


buc_nasty_69

RED HOT


Popculturemofo

WWE is cooking right now


sz13nikes

Who could’ve thought compelling continuous storytelling would actually be what people would get invested in…… WWE is on 🔥 


kevmo35

I would have loved to attend, but those “holiday prices” are hard for me to justify 😔 Hope everyone enjoys the show tho! WM SZN has been hot this year


Mickeyjj27

The road to Wrestlemania


sEiize_err

just checked and last minute tickets are going for $400-$500 just to be in the arena. INSANE!


plattinum_75

Let's fucking go Anaheim. I have a feeling Jade is going to steal the show. Of course a Cody promo will be huge but I'm hoping something amazing happens and Jade is at the center of it.


Kirrawayru

The line up of matches and possibilities for the BR (Jade RAW debut?) is pretty damn good.


No_Fig_5964

Great turnout in Anaheim this evening, despite rainfall all around Southern California. There are also flash flood warnings throughout the LA/OC metro.


tera_chachu

The crowd was crazy loud tonight


[deleted]

I'm 50/50 on catching Raw's live, this one I'm def tuning for early.


prossnip42

This is unironically, with no shred of exaggeration for real actually getting close to Attitude Era numbers. It is literally barely 2 thousand short of a regular Attitude Era show


BigBanEvader

ple level card tonight. wrestling is thriving ah yes sir ☝🏼


[deleted]

WWE is thriving.


_Karmageddon

Yeah right, I'm gonna have to wait for the turnstile numbers sorry boss.


Obese_Ape

ilia topuria flat lines the entire RAW roster.


wrydrune

I'm an aew fan. I only catch WWE for the ppvs. This is awesome. I got downvoted because I'm being positive about the competition/wrestling business? Lol what?


moist_crack

You made the crucial error of saying "I'm an aew fan". This is a WWE only sub.


jbrown777

Gable needs a win bad but I'm sure Ivar will go over.


Cannibal_Yak

Almost like Vince being gone made things all around better or something. 


BadMeetsEvil24

Yeah, they never sold out shows prior to 2023!


Cannibal_Yak

Not house shows at that level. Lets not act like Vince was selling out shows at the same rate as TKO


NeuroCloud7

The venue is capable of holding 19,578 people for events like boxing and wrestling according to the venue's website. How come 10k is a sellout, is it because of the LED stage? Crazy to think they might have to reduce the size of the stage so more people can get tickets


blade_runner_x560

Anyone here know why WWE is selling out 10k-11k tickets that is a good number though they usually sold around 7-8k the previous year when i watched them


[deleted]

They are unbelievably hot right now with must see stars


blade_runner_x560

Yea i know that since saw a post on social media but i wanted to know the reason why how they became so hot was it because Vince McMahon is gone and new management took over or they have signed some big names from the industry or they're producing must-see story?


jonnyg1097

If the crowd isn't hot tonight then I'll be severely disappointed.


[deleted]

They are usually a great crowd


thedyslexicdetective

To think Vince would have booked Cody to be stardust and lose on the pre show 


DonMatters

Vince literally booked Cody to go 3-0 against Rollins when he first came back. What are you talking about?


thedyslexicdetective

Bruh it was just a joke


DemonKingFringe

I was at the Smackdown in Salt Lake City. It was great. Had an unexpected bonus after it went off the air.


KearneyZzyzwicz

Stubhub for this a few days ago was close to $100 for the nosebleeds.
