Always a fun Raw, but the crowd reaction to Roman with the belt id going to be so fun too.

Here's the problem:


If Reigns isn't your #1 face, then who becomes that guy? Ambrose? Ziggler? Rollins? Soon-to-be-40 year old Cena? Who?

[Schlomey]

any of those options you mentioned would work better for my personal tastes.

[road doggy dogg]

The real answer is Nakamura.

[Droford]

I want to see Corbin vs Reigns. I know it won't happen anytime soon though

[Blonde Moment]

The real answer is Nakamura.

would love to see this but I just don't see hom being called up until after the Japan trip at the earliest unless the injuries keep piling up

[Swiss Ultimate]

Here's the problem:

I like John Cena. He never gives up and you'll never see him in a Mexican whore-house like Lyin' Ted. I call him that because he lies so much, more than anyone I've ever met.

No more PG? That'll be fun. Mostly to shut up those people that think the PG rating is the reason for garbage.

[BigCrippyZ]

Likely just a screw up. Mine still shows TV-PG for tonight.

[BigCrippyZ]

Same.

What are the odds Ryder loses the IC title to Owens?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

What are the odds Ryder loses the IC title to Owens?

I was thinking Joe would be called up to crush him when Ryders odds started getting lower. Now it might be Corbin.

[Evil Vito]

Gave up on spending 3+ hours every Monday watching Raw a few months ago. Probably not gonna change that now. The post-Mania Raw last year was fairly boring IIRC.

As always, I hope some cool stuff happens that tempts me to go back and watch later.

[The CyNick]

Here's the problem:


If Reigns isn't your #1 face, then who becomes that guy? Ambrose? Ziggler? Rollins? Soon-to-be-40 year old Cena? Who?

I mean Cena is still the number 1 babyface in the company. WWE should try to build up a major match between the two, either at Summerslam or Mania. If Reigns struggles at the gate as a babyface champion, you can turn him.

There are lots of big time matches for Reigns this year, if they stay with him on top as a heel or babyface. Lesnar, Taker, Cena, Rollins could all be huge attractions.

[Heyman]

Posts like these give me confidence that realDonaldTrump will help make TPWW great again. :cool:

Good points. I'm thinking with Cena, they'll likely do Reigns/Cena at Summerslam. I think Wrestlemania will be in Lesnar's home state next year and so I'm sure Lesnar will be in the main-event next year. Reigns/Lesnar part II can be the headline.


I know this won't ever happen, but one idea I had was having Reigns turn heel......with Eric Bischoff becoming his manager. Very farfetched obviously, but Bischoff's mic skills and on-screen presence could help Reigns. This would also add another element to a potential feud with Lesnar/Heyman.

[Swiss Ultimate]

It's all about the people. Get on the #Trumptrain or get run over by it. You're choice.

I don't look anything like an orangutan and even if I did, they're really beautiful creatures so I don't take that as an insult. Only someone who hates nature and God would have a problem with this. I'm a big Christian which is why the IRS goes after me so hard.

That falconarrow dude who has been right several times in the past posted stuff about Raw.

1. NXT callup - Baron Corbin has arrived on the main roster
2. Tonight - "Tonight has a few cool surprises. Should be very enjoyable."
3. Cesaro - How soon would you like him? Tonight? I'll see what I can do.
4. Shane - Still up in the air from what I have seen.
5. Thoughts on Tonights RAW - However I think this sub will be disappointed in one return that causes a title change tonight. Who knows though, I really like it though.

I'll believe those IF they happen. I do think/hope that they will collect Charlotte's Divas' Championship belt and award her the newly designed WWE Women's Championship.

I also think tonight might be a great time to (and I know it probably won't happen, but let me dream for a moment) also introduce a pair of Women's Tag Team Championships. Would give the ladies who aren't in the title picture at the moment something else to shoot for, and I think there's a lot of interesting women's division tag teams that can be formed. They really need a shot of fresh air from somewhere and I think this would be a great start.

IC belt makes the most sense to happen for #5.

Doubt crowd would be that upset if the US belt or tag belts got new champions if some of the other names floating around as possible debuts happen.

Observer teasing Enzo & Cass, Anderson & Gallows, and Apollo Crews as other names getting a possible post-Mania debut tonight. A few more are also being considered as possibilities.

[road doggy dogg]

he's been pretty on the money every time so I'm inclined to believe it all

33 is in Orlando.

If anything I could see Lesnar v Reigns headlining that. Cena v Taker as semi main.

Personally I would just let Roman develop on the mic. I don't even think he's that terrible. Just needs to get into a groove with his promo style.

[Sepholio]

I'm going to WM Sunshine next year and if Reigns goes over Lesnar we riot.

They tried Lesnar v. Reigns at WM 31, and do you remember how that was turning out BEFORE the Rollins cash-in? I'll give you a hint: Not very well.

I'd like to see them hold off until next year and do the Shield triple threat as WM 33 main event. I agree, however that if Cena isn't injured this time next year he should be 'Taker's final WM opponent, retiring the Deadman with a 23-2 record.

[Emperor Smeat]

I'm going to WM Sunshine next year and if Reigns goes over Lesnar we riot.

Would be a bit surprised if Lesnar agrees to another year deal or wrestles at Mania 33.

A couple of interviews leading into Mania last night had him implying he's very close to being done with the WWE and not even Vince's money can convince him otherwise.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I'll believe those IF they happen.

Hey, me too! I usually believe things that happen.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

More things have been said.

2 returns tonight, one is a woman and sounds like the other is Cesaro. Main event will be a fatal four way

[Poit]

Hey, me too! I usually believe things that happen.

But not always. Reality is tricksy.

Well, I was trying to say I don't believe everything I read on the Internet, and that furthermore, all speculation should be taken with a huge grain of salt, even if it's from some Nostradamus wrestling guy or whatever.

I mean, she looks great and all, but I'd just as soon hop in a time machine with her and swap her for 2000 Steph. That's just me though.

That's not very good English. I'm not surprised considering you're foreign-born. Very suspect.

[Corndad]

I'm so happy Ryder got his moment last night but I just can't see him having the title for that long. Might get past tonight but prob not. Either a call up or return takes it.

I think tonight will be an all around better show than last night but won't touch Takeover.

Big event coming out of tonight me thinks will be.. Taker-Cena pulling a Rock Cena and setting up Taker's last match for next year. If anything that keeps Roman who will be champion again next year to defend on an under card match

[Outsider]

Enzo and Cass to the main roster makes sense. One big guy and the other a good talker should do fine (until creative eventually break them up further down the road with no clear plans for them at least). This the right crowd for it as well, will be a disproportionate number of NXT fans tonight which will help.

[road doggy dogg]

finally got a YT stream this week... so much better than other shitty stream sites

WWE addressing the crowd is their way of trying to stop the crowd "bullying" them right? Like "If we acknowledge how this is a cool thing the crowd does, it then becomes uncool for them", right?

Big E gyrating is probably my favourite thing on wrestling... no homo

New Day needs to lose the belts soon and focus on Big E's single run. Keep the group together of course but make it a little more about Big E.

Dunno why, but I feel a running gag of Woods playing the trumpet behind Mark Henry a la Family Guy could be golden.

Hope he has a better entrance.... burst out laughing every time he does his entrance in NXT and he does a "big pose" to two little tiny columns of steam....

[Mercenary]

Ugh seriously Crews.....TAKE BACK RAW VINCE!!!!!!!

[GD]

Maybe Shane is trying to win his father's approval.

Would have liked to have been surprised by Crews' debut

Would have liked to have been surprised by Crews' debut

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW NOT TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL

[Volare]

How long before Apollo teams with D. Young hoping nobody notices he's not Titus?

I was thinking maybe he'd be the 4th for the new day against the LON.

[Ermaximus]

Crews will squash Slater or Axel?

[Lock Jaw]

ha ha boos anytime Roman's pic came up

[Tom Guycott]

Interesting choice to promote Apollo Crews to the main roster.

About as quick of a turnaround as Big E was on his call-up.

[ClockShot]

Tyler Breeze gets an entrance?!

[Ermaximus]

Tyler Breeze is #1.

[VSG]

I was thinking maybe he'd be the 4th for the new day against the LON.

TOO SOON :'(

[Lock Jaw]

See Tyler Breeze so little now that everytime I hear his music start, I think it is The Miz....

[Shadrick]

lol tyler breeze is lovely

[Poit]

Tyler Breeze losing to Apollo Crews... it's like he was never called up.

[Outsider]

Enjoy your call up Apollo Crews.

What better start than squashing a former call up.

[slik]

I thought it was the miz too

[Lock Jaw]

Entrance less laugh inducing without the steam columns, I guess

[ClockShot]

Stone Mountain, GA?

He live next door to Jake "The Snake" Roberts?

[slik]

Apollo Crews about to see his own future in Tyler Breeze in 6 months.

[Ermaximus]

I say Breeze has about, 3 minutes.

[Shadrick]

Man I didn't know he was from Stone Mountain, GA. Thats like 5 minutes from me.

[Ruien]

Hell ya. This guy looks like a beast.

[road doggy dogg]

is his name "crews" bc he looks like a Terry Crews clone? prolly

[Shadrick]

"I'm a little concerned about you"

[Ermaximus]

WWE hasn't learned their lesson. Remember The Ascension or Adam FUCKING Rose? Yeah, neither does anyone else.

[Lock Jaw]

Not quite as good as their NXT encounters....

[Ruien]

Oh my lord. They had this guy but brought up Neville? What the hell is wrong with them.

[ClockShot]

So he's another Neville but with strength. I guess this can work.

[Ermaximus]

Titus 2.0 or Lashley Lite?

[slik]

How long before Michael Cole starts saying "Apollo is in Crews Control"?

[Lock Jaw]

WWE hasn't learned their lesson. Remember The Ascension or Adam FUCKING Rose? Yeah, neither does anyone else.

How can you say this based on one night? Unless you are talking about Tyler Breeze....

Apollo Crews has at least a few weeks in him before he is ruined. :shifty:

[Ermaximus]

How long before Michael Cole starts saying "Apollo is in Crews Control"?

Less than a month.

[road doggy dogg]

he has a weird baby face for his body.......... funny JUXTAPOSITION

[ClockShot]

And a "spin out" powerbomb to boot.

I guess every body is trying to innovate the Powerbomb to some form. Mr. Kevin Owens, I'm looking at you.

[Ermaximus]

How can you say this based on one night? Unless you are talking about Tyler Breeze....

Apollo Crews has at least a few weeks in him before he is ruined. :shifty:

Definitely talking about Breeze.

[Volare]

So we getting our Bailey moment tonight??

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

He DARED to challenge the system

[road doggy dogg]

I gotta say, aside from fucking awful placed shitty commercial breaks, this first hour flew by

[ClockShot]

Ooooooooooooooooooh boy. Champ's out next.

[road doggy dogg]

I gotta say, aside from fucking awful placed shitty commercial breaks, this first hour flew by

(I mean this in a good way)

[Tom Guycott]

Oh my lord. They had this guy but brought up Neville? What the hell is wrong with them.

Being fair to your point, PAC was called up around the time Uhaa was walking in the door. He also needed a few weeks before his NXT debut, as they apparently had some mechanical issues with the WWE Name Generator.

[Lock Jaw]

Seems weird to bring up Apollo and Corbin when Samoa Joe is RIPE for the picking

[Emperor Smeat]

Oh my lord. They had this guy but brought up Neville? What the hell is wrong with them.

Sort of like Hideo Itami sans injury that he had problems getting used to the WWE style and connecting with NXT crowds.

Neville was a lot more well rounded prior to his call up than Crews.

[Frank Drebin]

Would mark out more for Asuka than Bayley. Just saying.
