Well that was a rollercoaster ride of a Monday Night Raw, and I have lots of thoughts haha. I'm still bummed that Alexa and Charlotte lost the Titles, and think that was a major mistake, but you can check out all of my hits and misses of the night right here! Also make sure to let us know what you thought of the episode as well!

Congrats to John Cena on becoming a Grand Champion! Dom was a perfect foil for Cena. Also, this episode has actually been stacked so far. The main roster NXT exhibition announcement, Cena winning the Title, and Nikki turning on Stephanie are all highlights, and the WarGames teams are coming into view too.

Happy Monday folks, and welcome to your weekly discussion and reactions post for WWE Monday Night RAW! Tonight kicks off with John Cena's last appearance in Boston, with other matches and highlights including Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair defending their WWE Women's Tag Team Championships, Stephanie Vaquer defending her World Women's Championship, and more from The Last Time Is Now Tournament. We'll post reactions throughout the night, but let us know what you're loving, what you're not loving, and match of the night right here!

Well, I did not see Giulia losing her WWE Women's United States Championship, but man, couldn't go to a better person than Chelsea Green! Green is one of the consistent highlights of whatever WWE show she happens to be on, and it's awesome seeing her become a double Champ over the course of a week. Couldn't be happier for her. Unfortunately, this also ends a pretty disappointing Title reign for Giulia, and I'm curious to see what happens with her next as far as storyline and her alliance with Kiana James. You'd be forgiven for forgetting Giulia was actually Champion if you watched every week, and there wasn't much in terms of story or growth for her since winning the Title. Hopefully, WWE has something planned for her that will fix that, because she's too good just to fade into the background.

G.I. Joe was awesome!! That 2-page spread ruled, and the creative team teased that's maybe the smallest scale splash in the entire story haha. Such a great series

Welcome to the returning WWE SmackDown discussion and reaction thread, where we talk all things wrestling all the time! Whether you want to talk about Ilja Dragunov's United States Title Challenge run (which gave us a Johnny Gargano match tonight), the beginning of Jade Cargill's Women's Championship era, or the new feud between Cody Rhodes and Alistair Black, you've come to the right place, and make sure to vote in our polls as well! Highlights: Dragunov is knocking his Title reign out of the park so far, and it's great to see him utilized so well on SmackDown Several factions and storylines are really dragging at the moment and feel a bit aimless, like anything around the MFTs and whatever is happening with Giulia's Championship reign. I really hope we keep Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair together for a while longer before they inevitably break up or one turns on the other. They are just so fun to watch as a team Lash Legend getting called up was the right, well, call, and pairing her with Nia Jax is big time

I gotta say, Absolute Superman is just hitting for me, and issue #13 was one of those truly wondrous examples of Supes just being Supes, even in this incredibly dark world. Awesome stuff.

What did you think of Aliens vs. Captain America? I really liked parts of it, but think I'll like the next issue more, given that there will (hopefully) be more Captain America actually in

I adore the Narnia franchise, and with Greta Gerwig attached I'm hopeful they can capture the magic of the books. The third film of the original series was fine, though I really loved the first two films, and Liam Neeson as the voice of Aslan was just incredible.

My favorite non-big two horror book is without a doubt Something is Killing the Children. Big fan of much of Tynion's work in general, but that's by far my fave.

I love American Vampire! Such a great series (though I also just adore Scott Snyder stuff in general

Rumors have started to circulate that Brian Michael Bendis could be making his return to Marvel, and now I'm hoping it's true, because it's the most excited I've been about Marvel in quite some time. With the Ultimate books ending (the previous lone highlight), this would be a welcome return and a shot in teh arm when Marvel needs it most. Bendis was behind some of my favorite Marvel books during his run, and I would love to see him bring some of that same energy back. What do you think of Bendis possibly returning, and what's your favorite Bendis series? His Ultimate Spider-Man is all-time for me, and I have always felt that the Uncanny X-Men run is seriously underrated.

You did the colors for this??? Hell yeah! Panda Khan rules

I agree that he's consistently underutilized. I often prefer him as part of a team, just so you can play him against other characters and their personalities, but would like to see him pop up more often

For Marvel, I agree with @Deathwalker in Magneto, though I also think you could make a more personal journey type of solo film work for the character as well. For DC, I would probably go with either Bane or Deathstroke, because there are things you could dive into there for both, but I believe there is a movie that features both of them in the works already, so that's probably out.

I will always recommend Detective Chimp for any DC discussion haha, but here are a few others that come to mind. Larfleeze The Phantom Stranger Hawk and Dove Amethyst

DCeased is one of my all-time fave horror-style storylines from the big two, though there are some others I love too. Also really enjoyed DC vs. Vampires! Also you can always go classic with Batman: The Long Halloween.

I adore the Mass Effect series, and cannot wait to see it return. Would love to see Shepard brought back, especially if I could bring over my version from the past trilogy, but guess we'll see what happens.

Sega Saturn is actually where I played the first Tomb Raider game, and it has been one of my favorite franchises ever since. Your love of the Saturn is how I feel about the Dreamcast haha, will always be all time for me!

I always forget that Peanuts is all on Apple TV, It's like the one service I don't always subscribe to. We always watch Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (the Burl Ives versions) every Christmas, as well as Elf and White Christmas.

If I were to hand anyone a few trades of books to just give a try, those would be: Far Sector: If you want to see what Lanterns will probably be like and meet one of the coolest new Green Lanterns of the last decade in an alien crime thriller, Far Sector is the book to read. Also, it's absolutely stunning with Jamal Campbell's art. Once & Future: Again, another artwork powerhouse from Dan Mora, but this time, what if all of the fairy tales and legends of King Arthur were real and a secret organization had been guarding mankind from their presence all these years? You'll also meet Bridgette, who lives in a senior living home and yet has gun caches stashed outside and knows where all of these secrets actually are. Brilliant. Something Is Killing the Children: If you're looking for something on the horror side, this series consistently rips your heart out of your chest and keeps you hooked like few other books on the market. It's stunning too, and the premise of an order of monster hunters that kill monsters only kids can see? Insanity in the best way.

Really enjoyed Recoat and Rook, though fell off a bit just due to so much other stuff. Never could get into Geiger as much, and haven't checked out Junkyard Joe yet. I need to catch back up on Ghost Machine and get up to speed! Lost Fantasy is fantastic! Really enjoying it.

I would 100% be behind Yelena leading the team
