In this episode of Wrestling Soup, Anthony Thomas and Joe Numbers discuss their frustrations with this week's episode of RAW. The hosts feel RAW was lackluster and uninspired, with phoned-in segments and boring tropes. SmackDown had some fun moments, but overall the wrestling shows fall short. They touch on injury updates, including Liv Morgan's shoulder dislocation. The hosts also joke about the absurdity of certain storylines, such as Goldberg facing Gunther, and talk about WWE's aggressive expansion strategy and how it impacts various wrestling styles like Lucha Libre. Additionally, the episode features commentary on the problematic booking of women's storylines and the overuse of certain talent. Overall, their dialogue highlights a need for better writing and more engagement from wrestlers and audiences alike.
