I think it was fantastic. Great match, and really made Neville look strong with him hitting his finish before the interference.

Hopefully at Payback he doesn't just lose to Barrett again. Needs to keep this momentum again, and then perhaps be John Cena's next PPV opponent.

Did Neville ever cut promos in NXT? If so, is he any good on the Mic?

If he loses his COO position will he go back to Koncessions Kane?

Finally someone does to Roman what only makes sense.

Sweet.... same commentator boxes that we use...

Well that was quick.

Of course. You implemented them during your stint as anonymous GM, right?

He has a pretty terrible accent, but he didn't make me want to change the channel or anything. Not exactly Mr. Charisma on the mic, but decent enough "reality-based" "I'm a competitor and I will fight my best" type promos, etc....

Fully expecting Daniel Bryan to pull an Edge retirement tonight.

It would be a shock of the year moment of Bryan walked out and said "After everything I've been through, screw you guys!"

Just started watching. What happened with HHH/Kane? Been loving Kane's character recently. Really hope he continues to hate Rollins and be the Commish for awhile. Gives Raw a new edge it has been lacking. Is Big Show part of the Authority still?

HHH said if Rollins loses at the ppv then Kane gets fired and he made him wrestle Reigns

HHH told Kane if Seth Rollins doesn't leave Payback as champion, he'll no longer be Director of Operations and Smackdown General Manager when Triple H Doesn't Want to Work the Taping. Kane showed some edge, but they're still using the WILL HE OR WON'T HE angle.

Brie Mode for life

Naomi with a Dean Ambrose T-Shirt

Good stuff. Can't wait for D Bryan now. Guess he will go on around the 9pm mark. Hopefully its good news.

Those crazy Face Bellas.

Where is the pastry British girl?

I appreciate that they've given Naomi a character and there's a little something to the feud instead of just "I pin you one week, you pin me the next" but I just can't get into her.

It helps this week that she didn't come out pretending to be Sasha Banks.

Save_Us.Paige

Why is she not on tv?

WWE Paige was beat up by Naomi, which turned Naomi heel and turned the Bellas face.

In "real life" she is out filming a WWE Movie and getting lapdances from Wolverine

Because she had to film a shitty movie with the Miz.

Oh shit please do the Sandow thing!!

Hate Damien Sandow in general.

Mega Powers exploding on RAW!

What is the point of having Sandow break away if you are gonna stick him with the same fucking gimmick?

LOL, what? That impersonation of Savage was spot on!

This is sad and not funny. I feel like SlickyTrickyDamon.

my childhood was just ripped from my chest and stomped on tonight

They are repeating the Main Event angle? 'Cause nobody watches it.

It happened again....

And by that, I mean that I heard the screech of The Ascension's music and thought CM Punk's music was hitting...

Is this about to make axelmania and macho mandow a tag team?

The Ascension finally get to take on THE MEGAPOWERS?

Also, not sure how I feel about Sandow losing the eighteen month feud with the Miz despite getting a huge crowd following, cutting a decent promo that was punctuated with him acting like a four year old, and then feuding with Curtis Axel and acting like the Macho Man.

Pretty sure I don't like it.

The Ascension is so terrible now.

I'm a huge fan of the "Ascension Wasteland" sign with them in a toilet. Not Roman Reigns DERP good, but good.

SHAKE HANDS!

This is terrible in general.

So the Goofball Mega Powers reunited?

:lol: announcers having no clue to what just happened.

So a crappy Mega Powers rip off vs A crappy Demolition rip off..... fuck!

C'mon be a swerve. Enter the Rumble again Daniel.

Make it easy, let them cut a promo telling the fans how much they loved the old WWF, and how they've lived their dreams for the past few months, but they want to show a serious side to them.



Or something along those lines.

"I am announcing my entry in the 2016 Royal Rumble, where I may be healthy enough to compete. Maybe."

Axel and Sandow both have charisma, but every serious singles push they have had has been pretty abysmal.

So, I guess, I am ok with keeping them kind of goofy not doing anything of importance.

They could do that.

Or Sandow could be Damien Bra-dow and be throwing flat footballs in a few months.

Random clip of Lillian tripping.... ok.

I miss Randy Savage

I hope Tough Enough is good....

Best part of last season was Steve Austin's lectures... Jericho just not as intimidating as Stone Cold Steve Austin....

OH SHIT BIG O ON RAW!

Where is Rollermacka's submission....

I think that's the second time they've shown a clip of his audition video. Maybe that's a sign he'll be on the show.

I'm guessing/hoping DB coming out still holding the belt is a good sign...:-\

Deep breath youre a big boy Kira don't freak out and toss the TV

Too much in the way of Edge retirement feel right now.

Probably just announcing his Tough Enough gig

Or at least i hope......

Ya, don't feel the retirement vibe.

Oh God.

RIP Daniel Bryan

Daniel Byran is nothing more than a C- guy

Cole should run to the ring grab the belt and declare himself champ.

Bad timing to go and talk on the phone. No clue what happened.

Barrett/Neville or Seanus/Zigler for the IC title?

More MRIs. Still no idea what's wrong with him. Might be weeks. Might be never.

Now Go Heal The Hell up and Get Back Better than ever.

Well damn, I don't know how to feel after that.

Even if he never wrestles again, at least there's still this moment:

http://giant.gfycat.com/SoftDirtyAnemoneshrimp.gif

That's really sad. I sincerely hope that they do not rush him back. Love Daniel Bryan.

I was there live, motherfucker

:cool:

So now the obvious big question is what happens as far as deciding a new IC Champ?

This sucks, Bryan was one of the best things on RAW.... I hope he recovers and doesn't Edge it so young.

All those years of wrestling like he did have caught up with him :(

Want a cookie?

Well, if he does end up having to retire, I know he's only been in WWE for like 5 years, but for my money he'd be a lock for the HoF someday.

Can't believe how "hot" New Day is.

Xavier Woods' sexual appeal just increased without the facial hair.

New Day is still lame.

Congrats to WWE for turning the New day which was absolute shit into something I love to hate.

Love how Xavier Woods' is wearing the strap instead of Kofi due to the "freebird rule".

He does look handsome without it.

IKR?

JBL taking about fixing in sports :lol:

I miss The Usos very much....

That was some Samoa Joe shit

Cesaro with the greatest roll-up there ever was.

OH SHIT THE CHAMBER YES!

Nice to see that Damien Sandow went from impersonating the Miz and wrestling on PPV pre-shows to impersonating Macho Man and wrestling on PPV pre-shows.

:y: Chamber coming back.

Probably going to be a last minute thing the WWE prepares for just like the King of the Ring was.

That's like 3 PPVS in like 2 weeks lol

I'm down with the Chamber being back. Bring it.

I might be missing Pay Back, esp if I read spoilers before coming home... so yay for Elimination Chamber.
