Tonight's RAW episode will take place at the Keybank Center in Buffalo, New York.
This episode will be interesting. RAW is clearly focusing on the Brock vs Goldberg feud and on the teams that will represent team red at Survivor Series against team blue.

Here is what to expect to see from RAW tonight:

•In-Ring segment between Brock Lesnar and Goldberg.

•Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan come to RAW

•Can team RAW get along?

•Is Sami ready to go against Dolph for the IC title?

•Is Brian Kendrick ready to defend his Cruiserweight title against Smackdown's Kalisto?

RestHoldParty believes that RAW is going to be great this week, let's just wait and see.

How RAW Can Save Itself after Clash of Champions



Hello everyone, It's the sleeper hold member of the RestHoldParty, Bowen Holder, back with another little blog explaining how RAW can book the wrestlers that were at Clash of Champions without murdering their credibility, so let's start!

Alicia Fox

well, to be honest there isn't much they can do with her. Maybe just have her lay low and develop an actual character before investing more time into her. She's being used now to put Nia Jax over, and I'm okay with that. Nia Jax is the next Kharma, but not as scary and probably just as nice off screen. Anyways, Alicia Fox needs to get some decisive wins and challenge for the womens title once before maybe getting traded to SmackDown in favor of someone from NXT or Becky Lynch. There really isn't much she can do that could put her back on track for the Women's title on either brand.

Nia Jax

Nia Jax has been on a roll as of late and I think she needs to get a victory over Sasha or Bayley and contend for the women's title soon. Sasha, Bayley, and Charlotte contedning for the belt is getting boring, and it seems that the WWE doesn't want to put that much time into her. I'd say let her have a match with someone who isn't Alicia or a jobber and beat them, grab a mic, and say it how it is. It's time someone new got their hands on that - gold? - Red? - um... you know what I mean.

Sheamus and Cesaro

These two put on one of the best matches on the card, and proved that they are a threat to the new United States Champion, Roman Reigns, by putting on a clinic in what I would say is my favorite mid card match so far this year. I personally see Sheamus getting really pissed at Cesaro and just tearing him apart and having a really meaningful rivalry out of this, and I think it could work out if done correctly. Both men are former United States champions, and I think this rivalry could put them both in the line for that title. Sheamus won the WWE Championship almost a year ago, and ever since then has been booked pretty leniently. Cesaro has had a bumpy road in the WWE his entire career, and I hope he can get to the top of the WWE soon.

TJ Perkins and The Brian Kendrick 

These two might not have chemistry just yet, but I believe if the WWE keeps this rivalry going, we can see a new heel cruiser-weight emerge and come to Kendrick's aid. Whether this be a jealous Rich Swann or a game Sin Cara, who has been hinting a heel turn ever since the Lucha Dragons just up and broke up outta nowhere. Speaking of the Lucha Dragons... where's Kalisto at?

"The Big Dawg" Roman Reigns

I like how the WWE drooped Roman down the the midcard, as it seems he has gained a few fans with this part of his career. I think Roman should continue with Rusev until maybe Sami Zayn or one of the BO7 Series guys pops into the #1 contender spot. I do believe that Roman could turn heel tonight on RAW, belittling the US title and attacking a Face towards the top of the midcard, maybe attacking Mick Foley or someone else with authority could make that transition to heel work out.

Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins

Kevin Owens is doing very well with the Universal Championship, and his reign is already better than Finn Balor's (hehehe). I see Kevin feuding with Chris Jericho because Jericho made Owens look like he needed him, or maybe feuding with Sami for the belt because it's Sami freaking Zayn and we need to see Sami win the belt from Owens eventually. Rollins might need to just have matches away from that title for now, and give other people a chance with it. I do see WWE eventually having their big 3 be Owens, Rollins, and Balor on Raw, and Styles, Cena, and ???? on SmackDown Live.

anyways, that was a little blog for you guys. Remember to check out all the other blogs on the site, and check out our amino page for exclusive stuff there. I hope you all enjoyed, and yeah, stay cool I guess...

Unsettling Differences: An Interview With Blue Smock Nancy

Hello, i am the Local Hero, the Review Guy, Cameron Mcdonley and welcome to a special interview! This is one of the best independent bands today, a band that created one of the most iconic ROH themes in its entire history, the one and only, Blue Smock Nancy:

CM: Please welcome, my guest at this time, Blue Smock Nancy. How are you doing today?

BSN: I'm doing very well thank you, and I hope you are too!

CM: Thank you very much! Alright, first question: was Unsettling Differences intended for Kevin Steen or did ROH contact you and pay you to use that song specifically?



BSN: Little back story,Colt Cabana is a mutual friend of an artist I work with. Colt contacted us about doing "A Thrust Is A Must" (Rhett Titus), and then "Boom Boom" for himself. People were really happy with them so then [Kevin] Steen contacted me directly and asked for a song. By this point, I had been to several matches and hung out backstage meeting the ROH guys, If you watch the music video for Rush Rock Remix you'll see we kinda had access to the whole place that night which was beyond fun. So ultimately, the wrestlers knew to contact me directly and that I would work a deal with them,then grant ROH the license to use them.

CM: That is very interesting. I am a huge Kevin Steen fan and the theme itself. Great stuff. Next question, what went into the creative process of writing that song?

BSN: I watched one-hundred Steen clips on YouTube to get a sense of what he was all about. Then I asked him what song he wanted, what sort of pace he wanted to walk out at and what effect he wanted. He sent me two examples: one was a Coheed and Cambria song and I don't remember the other. I started with the pounding toms and the song kinda just wrote itself. I don't remember much after that,specifically when I'm in the zone or studio. It's kinda like that.

CM: That is definitely interesting, a lot of creative process had to have gone into such a work of art and I honestly hope you make more themes, which leads me to my next question. Are you planning to make any new themes for ROH or any other wrestling promotion?



BSN: The last couple I was asked to do, I turned down. I enjoy doing it but honestly, I have had so much music illegally downloaded and traded by so-called fans that it kinda killed it for me. YouTube Unsettling Differences and see how many people have free download links in their descriptions. Those same people will argue with me that what they are doing isn't wrong and. between that and YouTube to Mp3, it's impossible to make a reasonable income off of music these days, so I focus more on recording other bands and getting back to playing instruments. I have released a bunch of songs on Soundcloud and have 2 albums of unfinished Blue Smock material so I'll put that out whenever I have a chance to finish it up.



CM: That's a shame. It's not difficult to spend a couple of bucks on a theme you like, but that's my opinion.

BSN: It is frustrating to say the least, but the real fans are incredible. I agree. i spend money on anything that makes my daily life better and music is certainly one of those things.

CM: Agreed. two more questions left after this and one of them is a side question if you have time, but before that, I want to ask another question. Are you still a wrestling fan?



BSN: So my wrestling fan history got started as as a little kid watching Saturday Night's Main Event on NBC which would've been around seven years old in 1985. I grew up in Chicago so WWF would come to town and I remember going to three events over the years, seeing Hogan, Earthquake, Brutus The Barber, all those old school dudes. The entrance themes always got me super pumped so it had actually been something I've wanted to do since I was young.

CM: Do you watch any wrestling promotions currently?

BSN: At the moment, I don't. I'm not into the WWE product, not my thing, but I watch the old WWF and ECW videos when I'm in the mood. I also check out my ROH clips when they come my way.

CM:Nice, I highly recommend the 7.99 ROH Ringside Membership if you're a fan, very much worth it for all the old and new stuff, except for certain PPVs. Anyway, as a side question, any certain favorite wrestlers?



BSN: Favorite Wrestler? Current: Kevin Steen [Owens] All Time: Ultimate Warrior



CM: Thanks so much for your time. Anyway, anything else you'd like to add before we sign off?


BSN: Not really. Thanks for the opportunity though! I could go on forever about this stuff so hopefully I wasn't too scattered *laughs*

CM: You were definitely not, I enjoyed it! Anyway, that was Blue Smock Nancy, I am the Review Guy Cameron Mcdonley, and we say goodbye everybody!
