946 now has less members from Oakland than from Oakland

I mean, i know there's not a lot of choices ... but maybe don't name the faction after a city that only 2 of the 5 members are even from ... let alone from the same coast lol. The others are from boston, MD and FL

what sucks is i WANT to like this group because i love everyone in it ... but it just seems dumb. Like imagine if DX had a bunch of dudes not from gen X?

[u/brady2gronk]

I met Melo last month. He said he was going to Raw.

I wasn't expecting this though.  

[u/somehetero]

Also can we talk about how the guy named Crowbar hasn't been referenced yet?

THAT is how you make being called "Crowbar" cool.

[u/thekidnocash]

AAA got the Perros and Raw got 946. We are moving deviously this winter

[u/Hbp1707]

So my guess is Usos, Solo, Jacob or LA, and Naomi vs 946 at War Games. I don’t see how Roman will get involved at all which is dumb

[u/DetDipstick → u/Hbp1707]

He will. His face is plastered all over the advertisements. 946 will probably recruit an outsider for their 5th guy (or maybe an actual 5th member which I hope isn’t the case). Naomi and Jaida will definitely be involved but more as run ins to help their teams in dire moments.

[u/Mysterious_Goal_6377 → u/Hbp1707]

No one is safe but roman

[u/I_Hate_My_Cat_]

I can’t tell if paranoid WWE Champ Sami or 946 is the best thing going in WWE rn…this is great shit, man!

[u/bullhammerelbow69]

I bet you PS Hayes called them “cryme tyme but serious!” Way too many times. Anyways. All these guys are awesome so I hope it goes well.

[u/RonJeremys_Mustache]

WE ARE THE NATION… OF DOMINATION (or 946 whatevs)

[u/LilNardoDaVinci]

After that why the fuck am i meant to care about the vision😭

[u/itzfantasy → u/LilNardoDaVinci]

The Vision were always a bunch of geeks even in their "heyday". This is an actual disruptive and dangerous faction.

[u/poembug]

Melo was drivin the uhaul

[u/TH3K1NGB0B]

Really solid follow up Raw to a pretty mediocre MITB. Rumors of Melos demise have been greatly exaggerated 😂

[u/Bortjort]

wow the gringo perros del mal are crazy

[u/ThrottleServic3]

The new NWO , and everybody gets a black tank when they join

[u/MoistCloyster_]

That ending reminds me of something we’d have seen in the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras

[u/Manpons]

I can not tell you how annoying it is when the camera man does that whistle so loud to get the wrestlers attention for the “shot”. It takes me out of it.

[u/semizurdo]

end Judgement Day, push 946 to the moon

[u/My_Diet_DrKelp]

Loved that episode tbh

[u/FlashyClaim]

Melo looks jacked. Maybe he was injured that’s why he’s MIA?

Wrestlers tend to look jacked after injuries lol

[u/DemiGod9]

Royce has been a champion yet this is the best he's ever looked anywhere

[u/ImpactMiserable9384]

The aura is pretty great ngl

[u/the_mexican_menace]

LA Botch don't want that smoke 🤣🤣

[u/itzfantasy]

That was a very entertaining main event ngl.

[u/TwoPistolRickle]

Keys world title Melo ic Jaida womans Otm tags

Pull the trigger

[u/KinZil_R3]

I’m looking at Chad Gable crazy right now, Melo needs that gold off you

[u/Secret_Designer6351]

alright so Jacob comes back and Naomi does as well and we have our 5 v 5 Wargames

[u/Ahud412]

They really turned it around for Royce. This is doing wonders for him. Good boost for Melo

[u/Well_Caffinated]

Now that was a great ending and a massive surprise. Melo is a perfect fit for 946.

[u/A_Wealthy_Benefactor]

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" - Bronco Nima

[u/TheInfinite182 → u/A_Wealthy_Benefactor]

One of the great thinkers of our time

[u/hbkedge3]

The one guy yelling “WHAT DOES THAT MEAN”! 😂😂😂

[u/corps-peau-rate]

The muerto riders

[u/tenista85]

Hahaha fan in the background “What does that mean?!”

[u/Fookmaywedder]

Roman, we need you to win our battle

[u/PyrexPicasso85 → u/Fookmaywedder]

nah, this year's all about the 946. They need the W more than Roman. He still has the title everyone wants.

[u/LeafInTonysSpyShack]

Now break up the Vision and free Bron

[u/qlurp]

Nobody

[u/jcupgif]

Melooo melooooo melooooo WHERE IS MY MELO CHANT

[u/Iotatl]

NOW THIS IS WHAT A HEEL FACTION IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE!!!!! GO AFTER IT ALL 946!!!!!

[u/PyrexPicasso85 → u/Iotatl]

If they aren't draped in gold like Undisputed Era or the Bloodline, or Nation of Domination, it don't make sense.

[u/Bortjort]

946 capture tiiiime

[u/Shinobi347]

This was a great Raw.

[u/llamawithguns]

Is the match just over then lol

[u/BiggieDoin]

AND THUS… THE BEST FACTION OF CURRENT WWE ENDS RAW

[u/blingera]

the spear Melo is gonna get from Roman
https://giphy.com/gifs/WDPoOfeQMOx6o

[u/RAA94]

A mixed gender War Games could be kinda interesting.

[u/Rhakha]

Aaaaaagh!

[u/LAWSAB]

Is LA going to join the Bloodline side at Wargames, so we get a “can they coexist” theme going on?

[u/somehetero → u/LAWSAB]

Is Jacob shelved?

Fucking LA Knight needs to stay as far away from this as possible.  He's corny as fuck and the whole point of this is that it's hard.

[u/DetDipstick → u/LAWSAB]

That’s my guess. I thought it for sure happen here, but today was Carmelo’s intro. They’ll probably hold LA’s joining to the last minute with some bit with Roman asking him to join. If Jacob’s likely the 5th guy on that team, who’s 946’s 5th guy?

[u/gordy06 → u/LAWSAB]

Guess it depends on Roman. Does he get involved yet or hold out so LA has a spot?

[u/DaCrees → u/LAWSAB]

Is Jacob hurt for real?

[u/ELEGY14]

this was a great raw wow

[u/XanderVixon]

https://giphy.com/gifs/6kvzHcsq6oYCCxtNpJ

[u/Mets_BS]

946 is kind of a badass group, like a new Judgment Day.

[u/ctorresc → u/Mets_BS]

need Judgment Day to bring back Balor, Priest, and Carlito so they could take them on

[u/Neptune28 → u/ctorresc]

Bring back Edge

[u/Tough-Reaction9671 → u/ctorresc]

How could you forgot R Truth

[u/JJtheMark]

Lmfao I like how the match didn’t even have a finish. Just a fight.

[u/LTKMK]

So Bloodline and maybe Knight v 946 and maybe Drew?

[u/mellsuck → u/LTKMK]

Nah it's going to be Jaida and then Naomi on the other team

[u/thepirateman493_YT → u/LTKMK]

Or Jaida with Naomi

[u/Jumpy-Needleworker77]

🗣️AHHHHHH

[u/Joel_Servo]

lol I knew it. That's why his profile went dark.

[u/Saru77]

Where'd the 2nd ref go? Isn't this match still going?

[u/Tough-Reaction9671 → u/Saru77]

Was there even a 2nd ref?

[u/Saru77 → u/Tough-Reaction9671]

Yeah, he was standing by Royce and Oba before the table spot when they were on the stairs.

[u/Eternal_MrNobody]

Is Roman ever going to get involve?

Or is this how Zilla debuts?

[u/FunnyMemeHere]

Happy for Melo

[u/theopression]

The his will be a top tier war games match

[u/dlhx14]

Gable gotta come up off that IC title, idk.

[u/J0vita]

ain't nobody safe so PROCEED WITH CAUTION

[u/malk0to]

Melo looks fucking huge geez

[u/Meat-Dimension]

There’s a LOT of factions on Raw. Does Smackdown have any? They’re all Raw

[u/velocity-monstrosity → u/Meat-Dimension]

No male factions, just tag teams. They have 3 women’s factions on Smackdown

[u/Meat-Dimension → u/velocity-monstrosity]

Ah yeah you’ve got Fatal Influence

And I guess Tatum hanging with Charlotte and Lexi sort of makes that a faction

[u/yeethan-02]

Yeah that was awesome man

[u/Ahud412]

Loving this 946 faction

[u/Tough-Reaction9671]

“San Deigo”

[u/Nazmaldun]

it's likely we know how the war ends, but it's nice to see 946 looking strong

[u/DJ_Ziptie]

lol but the match is still going

[u/dizzybala10]

SAN DEIGO lmao

[u/CaptainYorkie1]

Bloodline has 5 guys and 946 now has 4, who's gonna be 946's 5th guy for War Games (besides from Ilkley LA Knight)

[u/MarkyMarkWahlburgers → u/CaptainYorkie1]

Maybe Drew?

[u/playthisthis → u/CaptainYorkie1]

THE MAN

Becky Lynch

[u/thanoshasbighands → u/CaptainYorkie1]

Omos would go hard standing behind them all

[u/connorjacobz]

That’s a great shot to close the show on, too

[u/Ferrari_Bones]

About time they did something with Melo

[u/SambaLando]

These guys all sell better than Mike Blackwell

[u/JulesWinnfieldJr]

That Jimmy whisper in the wind spot was clean, they didnt stand around waiting forever for him it looked pretty natural

[u/ryn2o01]

This was great

[u/MundanePlantain5124]

this fucking rules

[u/bulletbullock]

AGHHHHH

[u/Fookmaywedder]

Survivor series with Roman

[u/Man0Steel123]

This has been a fantastic last hour and a half of raw

[u/JosePawz]

Tiffany Stratton to 946 confirmed

[u/FlashyClaim → u/JosePawz]

Or maybe.. some woman with CAUTION tapes all over her?

[u/Marsman2100]

People were swearing Carmelo was leaving WWE and now he’s in the main event angle. I’m just glad they’re doing something with bro

[u/Mr_J_0801]

So they adding one more member before War Games or they gonna try and do an intergender war games with Naomi? Not even sure how that would work.

[u/Ferrari_Bones → u/Mr_J_0801]

I think it will be intergender, this is the full 946 stable, they will tease Jacob joining but I don't think he will

[u/Awkward_Syrup8415 → u/Ferrari_Bones]

Yeah but Naomi only allowed to mix it up with Jada would get old.

[u/ichinii → u/Mr_J_0801]

Probably gonna add LA Knight and Naomi. It makes sense considering what Roman said about Knight after their match.

[u/BallinBrown23 → u/Mr_J_0801]

I think LA will be the extra 946 member

[u/IAMA_MAGIC_8BALL_AMA]

Evil Ginyu Force lmao

[u/Background-Gas8109]

So the match is still going on...

[u/NewTribalChief]

Royce is leader of 946 not Rock or LA Knight lol

[u/Ferrari_Bones → u/NewTribalChief]

Good, as it should be

[u/Victor_Zsasz]

So that's why he blacked out his twitter profile.

[u/Tough-Reaction9671]

So is Chad Patton just dead

[u/Equivalent-Jicama-28 → u/Tough-Reaction9671]

It's how he would have wanted to go

[u/TheBallasOG → u/Tough-Reaction9671]

Yep

[u/uglyfoliage]

Ay lemme get Melo vs Roman lol

[u/playthisthis]

Los perros del Mal 

They are attacking everybody🤕

[u/moongirl12]

So Naomi is definitely coming back soon.

[u/baojinBE]

Is that a fake crowd chant

[u/SupaMonroeGuy]

"Roman ain't gonna take care of 💩."(BobbytheBrainHeenanVoice)

[u/shockzz123]

946 stole all of the aura the Vision was "supposed" to have lol

[u/PoutineSmoothie → u/shockzz123]

Jaida helped bigtime. Melo leveled it up.

[u/Background-Gas8109]

They just stole Darkstate's slogan. Ain't nobody safe isn't yours Royce.

[u/xXTERMIN8RXXx → u/Background-Gas8109]

Darkstate been dead for a while, even before Quon got kicked out

[u/Creative_Eye7413 → u/xXTERMIN8RXXx]

So glad they pulled Saquon outta that dump

[u/Iotatl]

GO AFTER THAT IC TITLE CARMELO!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/YoungPapi406]

946 and Carmelo Hayes from Boston

[u/Onionboy76]

ppl were rlly talking about “LA knight” joining the group 😭✌🏽

[u/Tough-Reaction9671]

Popped as I saw the tattoo on Melo’s bicep

[u/Nazmaldun]

need more RAW endings with Bloodline laid out

[u/LTKMK]

Uhh are they gonna pin someone

[u/PyrexPicasso85 → u/LTKMK]

it ain't about pins no more, it's about sending a message.

[u/topcontender]

OTC somewhere doing insta posts while his family getting beatdown week after week

[u/RPerene]

*disappointed Roman noises*

[u/GoldenDevilman]

I’m so happy to see Melo back on my screen and relevant again

[u/Psychoace47]

does roman not gaf about them?? lolol

[u/Man0Steel123 → u/Psychoace47]

That’s the thing. He never has

[u/K_Prime]

Why is solo back in the bloodline. I think im actually done watching raw for awhile…..

[u/Man0Steel123 → u/K_Prime]

He isn’t. He said so himself earlier in the show. He just wants to fight 946

[u/Threw907 → u/K_Prime]

To fight 946

[u/CrossingYoulnStyle]

Christian Casanova is NOT All Elite

[u/AldousKing]

I love how Roman is just like "I've already wrestled this month"

[u/SurgeV1]

Melo is the Rocky/Randy Orton of the 946, for sure. 

OTM - Tag titles

Jada - IC

Royce Keys - WHC 

Melo - IC champ 

Ideally but who knows how far the group will go lol. Judgment Day might be on borrowed time as RAW’s main stable lol 

[u/ThrottleServic3 → u/SurgeV1]

already way better than judgement day

[u/ctorresc → u/SurgeV1]

the guys in Judgment Day take a backseat to the 3 ladies who are the ones actually carrying Judgment Day now

[u/DarkstarIV]

Damn if only Roman didn't work part time.

[u/Common_Dig5526]

Is just me or is melo looking jacked?

[u/SadFeed63 → u/Common_Dig5526]

Looking real jacked, baby

[u/Meat-Dimension]

lol everyone earlier thought he was leaving WWE

[u/The810kid]

946 has lapped all the heel factions that have been on Raw in the past 3 and a half years.

[u/26265273]

Melo needed this big time.

[u/Deadmaninc1]

Of course Roman ain't here as his cousins are getting beat down

[u/JustAnotherMark604]

Its h1m

[u/PreCheckLeo]

Sports entertained.

[u/Ahud412]

That Jacob pop when he comes back for the save later is gonna be awesome.

[u/ctorresc → u/Ahud412]

what if he joins 946

[u/Ahud412 → u/ctorresc]

I hope not.

[u/paulbucketnunomarty]

What was Carmelo doing the entire match before appearing? Just didn't feel like helping at that point?

[u/poembug → u/paulbucketnunomarty]

He had a hard time parking the truck in the dark

[u/FunnyMemeHere → u/paulbucketnunomarty]

He got stuck in traffic

[u/Suitable-Day-8463]

946 don’t miss

[u/RelativeRemarkable15]

So the reason we haven't seen him on TV is because he's been growing his hair out lmao

[u/titomb345 → u/RelativeRemarkable15]

And doing bicep curls holy fuck

[u/mrmrmagicman → u/RelativeRemarkable15]

To be fair the in between phase can be pretty ugly

[u/jfrodriguez1983]

Melo had people thinking he was gone lol

[u/connorjacobz]

I am thoroughly entertained

[u/boogalooshrimp1103]

The H bomb!

[u/TheHonestGuy85]

That crowbar look plastic AF! lmao

[u/Intrepid_Piccolo1623]

guys something exciting is actually happening on RAW

[u/CorporateElbow]

He ain’t Scrypts, but I guess Melo will do

[u/mrgpsingh1999]

And there’s the fourth member for Wargames

[u/mashturbo]

my god... that carmelo joining 911 thread 👀

[u/Threw907]

Alright it seems every week the bloodline except for Saturday... they get beat up

[u/LiveFromNewYork95]

Pretty cool but WWE has kinda killed the “Oh my God! _____ has joined _____” the last couple years because they rarely ever elevate that guy. He normally just becomes the same kid card fodder he was before after a few weeks.

[u/ichinii]

Melo vs Jacob in War Games is gonna be crazy

[u/Eternal_MrNobody]

Carmelo has knees !!

Hes agile

[u/Nazmaldun]

shades of Crowbar!

[u/LonelyMeatHead]

Now 946 actually feels strong

[u/BarbellsandBurritos]

I’ve been holding Melo stocks for at least 2021. FINALLY

[u/TheBlackLink]

HOLY SHIT CARMELO

[u/BoomanShames]

someone check in on MJF and the sickos

[u/DemiGod9]

946 is the new Bloodline lol.

[u/ThrottleServic3 → u/DemiGod9]

Bloodline /vision/NWO hybrid

[u/France_Reddits]

MELO DONT FUCKIN MISS

[u/WettyLufaThe3rd]

This group is fucking awesome

[u/ThisIsTheKaiToshiki]

Royce Keys as a face was bland af, but as a heel he's great and his faction just got even more interesting.

[u/Nobodyydobon]

Low bar or not, 946 is the best faction in the WWE

[u/h-town_info]

Ok, no more "where is Melo" comments lol
