Official RAW is Chicago Thread for 3/7/16 - Ft. CM Punk, Small Boss Lady, & Vince's Son, Shane
 

Will tonight be less of a filler episode now that Shane is slated to appear?!

Also promised is the start of Kevin Owens' road to Wrestlemania and the beginning of some sort of story for the IC Title.

rofl at all the Punk dreams going on.

don't forget today is James Steele's birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE DISCIPLE OF H!!

CLEAN YOUR ROOM OR NO RAW FOR YOU GRINGO

No Roman Reigns? :(

Roman Reigns should be kept off TV until Roadblock.

With RAW being in Chicago, tonight would be a great opportunity to bring back AJ Lee for a short run against Evil Steph.

I'm tossing up whether to get drunk for RAW or work on some papers.

Similar to Shane's return, a big surprise is happening very early in tonight's show.

Fuck work get drunk

I'm hoping the Tag Title Match goes like this:

* Strong showing for Styles & Jericho.

* The New Day take control of Jericho.

* Jericho tags in Styles.

* Styles gets beaten down.

* They do a false hot tag spot, where it looks like Styles is about to create distance, but New Day get Jericho off the apron and Styles gets beaten down again.

* Styles creates another opportunity, but when he goes to tag Jericho, Chris jumps off the apron.

* Styles fights back against New Day on his own and gets some flash near falls on Kofi Kingston.

* Jericho runs back in and hits a Codebreaker on Styles.

* The New Day capitalize and retain the belts.

* Styles goes looking for Jericho backstage. He gets attacked by Jericho from behind and laid out.

On SmackDown Jericho cuts a promo explaining his actions. He talks about how we all seem to love AJ Styles and he has to hear us cheer for him during his matches. Styles made him tap out at Fastlane and now he has to stand there with Styles while he knows that AJ thinks he's better than him. But why would he throw a Tag Team Title match? Because Chris Jericho doesn't need to be a champion. He's won championships. He's won more Intercontinental Championships than anyone else in history. He was the first-ever Undisputed Champion. AJ Styles is the one who needs to be a champion. Well Chris Jericho took that away from him, and he wants Styles to think about it for the rest of his career.

Cue AJ Styles walking out in street gear (but with his gloves on because he means business) and a stern look on his face. No music. He's just a man walking into a crack den ready to crack skulls. Jericho flees the ring and calmly goes through the crowd to get away from Styles -- who is wearing a face that makes people think "if looks could kill."

Put the United States Championship on Jericho at Roadblock. It's the only title he has never won in WWE. He wants it. Jericho gets what he wants in this world. Kalisto fights his little heart out and gets some good shine against Jericho, but gets caught off a hurricanrana with the Walls of Jericho and Jericho celebrates like he just won the Undisputed Title again.

Build then moves towards Chris Jericho vs. AJ Styles -- US Title. Jericho has held every title and basically holds the belt as a taunt to everything Styles is yet to accomplish in the career people are already labeling legendary.

Who's watching RAW tonight?

John Cena returns and teams with The New Day at Mania against The League of Nations. Cena even wears magenta tights.

Mick Foley to bring THE THOROUGHBRED out of Roman Reigns.

Steve

Might have to meet up for some business during the start of RAW. Dammit.

Detroit, Nashville, and back up to Chicago. I sometimes don't understand WWE's driving routes. That's seriously gotta be a weird gig driving for them.

Yeah. Shane-o dropping by is a plus. Hope this is a hell of a better show than last week.

MY SON, SHANE fest to open RAW!

Here comes the Money bitches.

Kids these days: "Mom, who's that? Where's John Cena?"

If you ain't talkin' money, than your talkin' don't matter.

Wow, Shane O'Mac on RAW. What is this, 2000? :D

Mean Street Posse needs to be involved in this. This Mania needs more Pete Gas.

Is tonight the night Kurt Angle returns? Can't wait to find out.

NO CHANCE!

Hahahaha Vince with the Troll

It's cool he's there and all but does Shane McMahon really get any of yall wet

oh wait

undertaker

oh no

its just vance

hahahaha fuckers fooled us

still owed a tombstone piledriver in this segment

Welp. It's getting really real, real quick.

Relieved @ not having to sit through 6 min Undertaker entrance right now

:lol: Vince

He ain't coming back, Chicago.

Well that didn't take long

Is CM Punk going to be at WrestleMania?

Something tells me Linda is there

So the Dead Man is Vince's greatest creation.

Not Hogan.

Not John Cena.

The Undertaker.

Make a note of that fellas.

It says "Roadblock this Saturday" on the TITANTRON

What is that?

Why is there a new ppv on a Saturday?

Vince McMahon is such a great character.

Wish Stone Cold would come out and stun everyone.........

Let's see whatcha got, Shane.

These are the worst security guards

It's a "network special".

Geez, Shane. I expected a better showing than that.

is that like a televised house show

Shane murdering those guys

Yeah.... with Brock Lesnar

J&J Security were way better than those guys for security.

Pretty much.

Triple H/Ambrose for the WWE title, and Lesnar/Wyatt have been announced so far.

rooting for NEVILLE in this match

reminds me of nigel mcguiness

Keep wanting Neville to just float off with a confused look on his face

I give him a 7 for the landing.

No Owens vs Ziggler?

Classic WWE, never giving the Fan's what they want.

Any chance Neville pulls out the victory?

Poll:

-Yes

-No


(will update poll results later)

Yes

DAMN, OWENS!

Hell No

Good match

That was a really good match.

Sami's back.

Olé!

:D SAMI

SAMI ZAYN

About time

Few weeks late

Really wish Sami still "looked good".....

Hey guys.

I think the car's finally out of the shop and we're finally on the Road to Wrestlemania.

Wonder if they are going to go straight Owens/Zayn, or if they are going to have Neville "in the mix"?

PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 350 AND BAKE MY DICK, SAMI ZAYN IS ON RAW!!!!

I zoned out and started watching this video on youtube and I missed what happened

[IMG]<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2FRg3Fe_tt4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>[/IMG]

An Owens/Zayn WrestleMania match is akin to a Sunday Night Heat-exclusive feud from the summerof '99 getting a spot on the WrestleMania 16 card.

@poopfromweiner dude

Kevin Owens beat Neville via "pulling the tights", and then beat him up post-match and was gonna "do some damage", but then Sami Zayn came out and fought off Owens, and Neville and Zayn "slammed fists" in the ring

Wrestlemania is free, for only $9.99c.....

Wish I could get the Network...

Will be working this Saturday during "Roadblock"....

The Godfather? ok if Gangrel doesn't get in at some point...

Steph telling it like it is re: Dolph Ziggler's big Survivor Series moment/win

Doubt that's ever happening since I think Gangrel is involved in the porn industry now and that's a big no-no for the WWE. Or at least that was the excuse Triple H gave to why Chyna is never going in.

Shocked they actually mentioned Survivor Series . Hope it leads to something other then Dolph getting burried.

God it just hits your ears like a truck! I wonder if Brie actually likes her theme?

lol Stephine sort of looks like Mary Cawford from that tv series TAKEN

That was a shoot, BROTHER!

But Sunny is safe. Right?

Oh yea forgot about the porn thing ...I guess it hardly compares but didn't the godfather run a strip club? Also, if I recall Gangrel only directed not participated in sex.

His entire gimmick was hookers. I don't think the strip club is going to be a problem.

WATCH TOTAL DIVAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Edit: Now the ONLY way you can ever watch Daniel Bryan.

Remember a few weeks ago when they had Summer Rae randomly beat WWE Paige and then WWE Paige disappeared off the face of the Earth?

Wrestlemania caliber feud between the Bellas over a scooter.

Raeberg scores another big win.

I mean if they are qualifying people based on what they do post-WWE.


That was my other thing he was a playing a pimp on-screen.

Did Lana go back to being Dolph's girlfriend or something?

Are they really going to have a Brie Bella/Lana match at Wrestlemania?

Lana uses Brie's finisher on Brie.

Michael Cole: Facefirst, goes Brie!

Gotta say, Lana did Brie's finisher better than Brie does.

This the reboot of the Lana push? Please tell me she's not getting a One on One match at Mania

X-Pac used that move originally, ahaha

Are you Byron Saxton?

Dean Ambrose making Roman Reigns look like a female reproductive organ.

Ambrose gets beat down by several people, and he comes back the next show/later in the night/etc...... Reigns gets beat down once and is gone for weeks.
