Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane.

Russo opens today’s show speaking about the missed dropkick spot at the recent Ring of Honor show which featured The Young Bucks. Russo was vocal about his disapproval of this spot but he wasn’t trying to talk crap or looking to start fights, he just feels that we need to start calling these type of things something other than ‘professional wrestling’.

Lane mentions that on one of his shows this past week, The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer was perplexed over people being on their phones while sitting ringside at wrestling shows. Russo says he doesn’t blame these people for being on their phones at all because they’re obviously bored out of their minds.

Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet mentioned this past week that the Hype Bros were more deserving of a main card spot at Clash of Champions than the Triple Threat US Title match. Russo calls Satin a jackass, and mentions that Satin probably hates Baron Corbin because he was a football player and a legitimate athlete, and Satin can’t relate to that.

At another point last week, Meltzer said that RAW has probably been losing viewers in the last hour because of long matches which feature talents who aren’t over. Russo says that nobody’s over on RAW right now, so who are WWE going to put in the ring?

Welcome to Monday Night Raw for the final time in October 2017!

Kurt Angle is expected to make a statement on tonight’s show, regarding SmackDown Live’s invasion of Raw last week. What will Angle have to say in response to Shane McMahon and will he finally announce the Raw team for Survivor Series? Angle’s team is expect to include The Shield and himself but who is the fifth member? Finn Balor? Let us know your thoughts in the comments and if you expect Raw to retaliate.

Furthermore, the Raw women’s team needs to finalise it’s team. Alicia Fox won the Triple Threat last week to make herself the team captain. Sasha Banks and Bayley are very likely to join the team, perhaps along with Asuka. How will the team function with Fox at the helm? It’s worth mentioning that Emma was released by WWE yesterday, which came as a big surprise to everyone. Emma had been on WWE TV a lot recently and it appears she didn’t ask for her release, which makes the release all the more shocking.

Elsewhere on tonight’s show, Kane will be searching for more competition, and we are due to get more progress with the Champion Vs. Champion matches at Survivor Series. Remember to check out the free Ringside Talk app and give us your thoughts and feelings. Enjoy the show.
