Powell’s POV: Bronson Reed was pulled from one of the Triple Threat matches due to testing positive for Covid-19. No replacement has been named as of this update. Raw will be held in Denver, Colorado at Ball Arena, which also played host to last night’s NXT No Mercy event. Join me for my live review as the show airs Mondays at 7CT/8ET on USA Network. Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons) have exclusive access to my weekly same night Raw audio reviews.
Tessitore is a terrible football announcer who just yells for the sake of yelling anytime even a minor play happens. He feels more like a Vince era hire than today.
Might want to update the preview considering Adam Pearce announced on YouTube that Bronson Reed is out of the match
Done. That’s it. I don’t care if Jesus Christ is named Reed’s replacement, I’m enjoying my Labor Day until Raw starts. Back to Kobayashi vs. Chestnut on Netflix!
