Decided to try my dynasty thread. I'm fairly new to fantasy booking and TEW so feedback and thoughts are always welcome! This universe diverges from reality after the May 31 Smackdown episode, but all announced future matchups will be respected.
RAW - Monday Week 1, June 2024
TD Garden, Boston, MA
OPENING:
Drew McIntyre comes out into the ring, boasting about how he's taking the World Heavyweight title in Scotland. Once he's champion, he can't wait to defend his Heavyweight title against CM Punk. Punk comes out, and reminds him not to get ahead of himself - pointing out how well that worked for him at Mania. (Rating: 93)
MATCH: AOP (with Karrion Kross, Paul Ellering and Scarlett) def The New Day (16:29)
In a pretty low quality match, the Authors of Pain continue to demonstrate their claim to a tag title match, taking down the New Day. Both sides got a few moves in, before Akam pinned Xavier Woods for the victory. (Ratings: Akam: 40, Rezar: 45, Xavier Woods: 65, Kofi Kingston: 67 | Segment Rating: 49)
RICOCHET DEMANDS MATCH V BRON BREAKKER
Ricochet walks into Adam Pearce's office, saying that after last week, he needs a match against Bron Breaker. Pearce accepts and schedules it for next week. (Rating 45)
THE LIV MORGAN REVENGE TOUR CONTINUES
Liv Morgan comes out, boasting about how the Judgement Day can't help but make things happen her way. She thanks Dom again for his help getting her the title, and says she can't wait to defend it against Mami. Dom and Priest come out saying that title belongs to Rhea and she's only a temporary holder. (Rating: 69)
MATCH: Lyra Valkyria def IYO SKY (with Dakota Kai, Asuka and Kairi Sane) (25:06)
In a match that ended up likely going longer than it should have, Lyra continues her rise through the Women's division, taking down former Women's champ, IYO SKY with The Guillotine.
(Ratings: Lyra Valkyria: 47, IYO SKY: 63 | Segment Rating: 66)
OTIS AND SAMI
Sami Zayn find Otis and Maxxine Dupri back stage, telling him he's sorry about how Chad Gable is treating him. Sami says he's going to go to Pearce and demand to face him in Scotland. (Rating: 71)
JUDGEMENT DAY HQ:
Back in the Judgement Day Clubhouse, Priest is still suspicious of Carlito. He makes it clear that he needs to prove himself against Brawn Strowman tonight. He also makes it clear to Dom that he wants to take on Rey without his help - promising the same for him once he's healed up. (Rating: 69)
MATCH: Ludwig Kaiser def Sheamus (15:10)
While Sheamus looked strong through a lot of the match, getting plenty of moves of his own in, Ludwig Kaiser gets the last laugh, getting Sheamus in a Lotus Lock for a submission.
(Ratings: Ludwig Kaiser: 52, Sheamus: 65 | Segment Rating: 57)
FYRE WANTS A TAG TITLE SHOT
Alba Fyre comes in to the ring after the break. She reminds everyone once again that Zoey and Shayna never beat them, and that she wants a shot at the tag title in her home country in a few weeks. Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill come out with Bianca saying that she welcomes the challenge, but she needs to wait her turn.
SONYA DEVILLE WANTS TO HELP
Sonya Deville once again finds Zoey Stark and Shayna Baszler backstage, saying they need her help if they want the title. Stark and Bazler decline, saying they're more than capable of winning on their own. (Rating: 48)
MATCH: Brawn Strowman def Carlito
In a pretty poor match, it was clear that Carlito's age was catching up to him and he and Strowman struggled to look good together. The crowd were heavily engaged with the match, which is a shame that the match quality did not meet up to expectations.
(Ratings: Braun Strowman: 44, Carlito: 30 | Segment Rating: 41)
MATCH: Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair def Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark by DQ (21:14)
In another match that needed to be slightly shorter, Baszler and Stark attempt to take the Women's Tag Title. Cargill and Belair struggled to mesh with each other's and their lack of chemistry was noticeable, especially since the match dragged on a bit. Eventually Alba Fyre ran in and attacked Belair, saying that it should be her wrestling this match.
(Ratings: Jade Cargill: 41, Bianca Belair: 55, Shayna Baszler: 51, Zoey Stark: 43 | Segment Rating 50)
ANNOUNCEMENT
Michael Cole announces he's just had word from Adam Pearce that Sami Zayn will defend his intercontinental title against Chad Gable at Clash at the Castle. (Rating 57)
MATCH: Damian Priest def Rey Mysterio (22:35)
In a pretty average match for a main event, Damian Priest gets a pinfall against Rey Mysterio. The Judgement Day remain true to their word and let Priest take him on 1v1. The Match was once again a bit too long, as both wrestlers were clearly tired by the final pinfall.
(Ratings: Damian Priest: 63, Rey Mysterio: 60 | Segment Rating: 57)
Overall Rating: 66

Notes
- Defs learnt my lesson booking more long matches rather than 2-3 more shorter ones
- Will move main event to a Wednesday filming to prevent crowd burnout
- This is my first dynasty thread so hoping to get better at match summaries as i go.
