Umm how can tonight be Reigns' in-ring return when he wrestled last night?

Yes, but also leave the memories alone.

Because WWE think you’re dumb.

There will never be another Kurt Angle.

Angle vs. JINDER at WrestleMania.

I remember that. He was the WWE World Heavyweight Champion at the time. Had a solid bout with Dean too.

Lashley vs. Angle for the IC Title.

They did mention that it was his in-ring return to Monday Night RAW.

This is when he had to insert himself into the main event of Mania that year because he just had to headline in front of their biggest crowd.

With conditions 65 and windy.

This is Roman Reigns’ return to in-ring action! In a state that begins with “M!”

anyone watching raw?

Nope. I’m just shit-talking in the thread.

nope...just a bunch of dudes docking

I genuinely prefer to not waste my time watching Raw than watching it.

I made myself a smoothie and am now lying on my couch. There’s no reason I can’t watch Raw right now...I just don’t want to.

Wish they would give Drew McIntyre a more in depth personality than guy who just randomly attacks guys for no real reason

MLW is enough commitment for me for now.

I don’t really know if he’s got it in him. Nothing against the guy, I’ve never seen him as this massively energetic personality.

Looks like Roman Reigns vs Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania

Roman Reigns back in the main event all is right with the world

It's the single glove it's so stupid it just eats at me I'm sorry

Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre reminds me so much of Cena vs. Orton, and I just got these weird chills.

He is really good on the mic... Saw him in EVOLVE before he came to WWE and he was a sweet ass heel who berated the crowd and got a ton of heat

Bye!

Where are you going?

I thought the big dog roman reigns had leukemia

anyone?

Where's Dean?

I’m sure he can talk, but he reminds me a bit of Randy Orton.

He's in remission, poopy.

in remission and right into a wrestlemania storyline?

For fucks sake Vince, the guy just beat cancer, do we really need to drop a concussion angle on him??

"I just got a little headache" lol

Shazam and Pet Semetary look good

Which wrestler do you think would win matches by pooping on their opponent until they submitted? “Remission, poopy” made me think of “poopmisson” as a hold.

Was worried it would be Bray Wyatt tbh and Bray/Roman is a terrible feud always.

Has Bray Wyatt ever had a good feud?

I suppose Bray/Bryan was okay, and Bray/Cena had moments.

Not his last TV match, his last match in that trash city of Shitsburgh.

After tonight looks like the following on the RAW half for WrestleMania

Charlotte vs Ronda vs Becky
Batista vs HHH
Seth vs Brock
Lashley vs Balor
Kurt Angle vs _____
Nia/Tamina vs Beth/Natalya vs Sasha/Bayley
Roman Reigns vs Drew McIntyre
Elias song
Braun comedy
Alexa hosting

NO @ Bray Wyatt question

Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose versus Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin

I really liked the time he was part of the fued against Randy Orton...when he was in the New Nexus...as Husky Harris...and Randy punt kicked him so hard he got a whole new gimmick. That was pretty cool.

As far as I can recall, Ambrose has never defeated McIntyre in his current incarnation.

Add in probably Ricochet/Black vs Revival for RAW Tag belts and RAW's side of the card is done. Everyone else gets dumped into the Andre and maybe Women's Battle Royal matches.

"Falls count anywhere, even outside the ring..." - Michael Cole

Renee couldn't care less about Dean. Getting his head bashed in with steel steps, and Renee is all "Drew showing he wants to be at the top of the mountain"

Poor McIntyre and his McNuts

Drew sure does love to close talk his opponents

5 minutes left...I really want Ambrose to score a win over McIntosh

Good thing Triple H booked that Ambrose/McIntyre main event at the absolute last minute. Guess the previously scheduled main event was just gonna be somebody thumbing their asshole.

Kids chanting "This is awesome!"

That's never a good sign

I really hope the commentary team combinations change during the International Superstar Shakeup.

Renee don't like Dean getting hit in the boys

Renee is not happy that McIntyre low blowed Ambrose.

Oh man! I really wanted Ambrose to win.

Ambrose vs McIntyre was pretty good.

RAW thread not as popular...feel like the casuals would be bored by most of RAW tonight...could it see it dropping from last weeks 2.78 rating tbh

did it just end at exactly 11PM? I'm setting here waiting for raw to have a moment to go off the air and im 31% of the way through a modern family rerun

the redhead boy took pills and is gunna kill himself, chrissy moltisanti is there too

growing up keeping chrisley

I fell asleep and had a dream that a ghost inversed outside. Better than Raw.

"If it doesn't work on a bear, you don't do it in the ring!" - Daniel Bryan

There were some nuggets in the thread that were worthwhile.

Kane would be the top of that list.

Also, wasn't there a period of time where they "scaled back" on pyro for awhile, and they just had audible explosions where they were supposed to be for them and Brock and the Dudley Boys and such, but no visible lightshow except non-fire stuff like Edge's fog?

Is this greater than or less than loving to have fun?

You guys just don't know... there will be a new tag team of Humvees that debut on RAW to take out their frustrations of the damage done to their kind by the likes of Strowman and Lesnar. TAG TEAM MATCH, PLAYA!!!

Blasphemy! He was the greatest color commentator in the history of our sport! Suckas gots ta know!!!

Lookit you, expecting storylines and shit. The fuck you think this is, Trips... NXT?!?

thought she was some new interviewer that WWE hired and she looked like 25 or something, wasn't rlly paying attention... bitch,,,

Probably not a good night for Osprey's nuts, either.

Guru Dave bullying Triple A yet again.

Pretty sad.

Feel like Trips is a solid contender for NYC Goober #2

I'm serious-pants watching the show now instead of just commenting on the comments... KIRA is right. Thing to remember here is that she isn't the natural promo that Shayna Bazler apparently is, but she's actually adapting better to this than her simply being a draw in and of herself really warrants. She clearly wants to do this. It wasn't the drizzling shits. She sounded real. Especially compared to...

... Dana, who comes out with stilted, pre-scripted, WWE paced soundbytes sprinkled with emoting. Her shit was bad, and it made Rousey sound that much better by comparison.

Yeah, about as much as Craig Ehlo guarding Michael Jordan.

I'm fully expecting Drew McIntyre kicked the Leukemia back into me last week speech from Roman so he can go back away proving the whole thing was a work to get one last shield match in for merch sales before Dean leaves

They don't have anything for him at WM and Ambrose can avenge him vs Drew at WM

Becky Lynch vs. The debuting Zangief from Street Fighter

I really do wish they just went simple and went with Ronda vs. Becky and Asuka vs. Charlotte II.

Seems a bit dumb really, she talks about how its all a joke and "carney"and a "charade" yet somehow being a champion in the middle of that means something. So you're the women's champion in a joke business...uh...congrats?

The "carny charade" thing didnt' bother me so much, considering she is just doing exactly what Brock did when he came back ("bring legitimacy to the WWE Championship"), only she's cutting her own promos and Lesnar has had Heyman do the heavy lifting there for him.

It feels like they're trying to push really hard really fast to an "inevitable" 4 Horsewomen vs 4 Horsewomen. The only thing that got in the way of that (in terms of WWE thinking) is Becky's popularity, and having to counteract that with a heel turn from Charlotte. I mean, they did kill Bayley's "heel turn" (that the crowd was 100% behind) in its crib for them to become first tag champs.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were wanting to just put that to bed, and blow the load on a 4 vs 4 match for WrestleMania with shoehorned, half-ass building. Would make sense to pad that out, let things progress, and try to steer it that way to plant the seeds around Summer Slam and actually have that match at Survivor Series in a traditonal Survivor Series match. Hell, make it full on 5 on 5 and add Asuka (WWE) and Sonya Deville (MMA) for shits and giggles.
