The off-air angle advancement

By Scott Keith on 15 December 2024

Hi Scott

How do you feel about the current WWE trend of having the angles advance after the cameras have stopped rolling? Obviously this is mainly the Rhodes/Owens story, why was the piledriver not aired on TV?

I just admit finishing watching the show I felt quite deflated after a standard Rhodes title defence and how quietly Owens took the loss.

But now I have to log on to social media to see not only that but a confrontation with HHH also took place. I sort of liked the parking lot scuffle to start this off but surely something as big as your champion being taken out should be aired on TV?


Yeah given all the advertising on the show for the RAW Netflix debut, you'd think they would want to find a hook for people who were watching the SNME show.  I think as long as they show it on RAW or Smackdown it's fine.
