RAW Thread (12.18.17) - The Road to the Royal Rumble Continues
 

Or something like that.

Y'all watching? What's supposed to happen tonight? Something cool with Jason Jordan? Probably.

Braun does something worse to Kane than putting him through a table?

I'm running out of crazy ideas since a lot of crazy things have happen the last few months.

Is Braun/Kane gonna main again in some ridiculous gimmick match? Or are they just going to make it a triple threat at the Rumble?

Maybe we'll get some Rumble qualifiers?

Let's get rumbling

WE'LL FIND OUT TONIGHT!

Most likely a triple threat at the Rumble.

Which would suck.

Especially since I'm going.

Do they really think that anybody still gives a fuck about Kane?

Please Kurt, address the Braun/Kane situation.

And then proceed to get interrupted by somebody. Most likely your "son".

Yeup. Think the sheets mentioned before about Kane being Vince's personal favorite when it comes to needing a reliable monster heel on the spot.

I wouldn't mind a Samoa Joe/Roman Reigns/Jason Jordan triple threat at some point. Possibly the Rumble. Possibly tonight.

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

Braun wants an answer now....................................OR ELSE!

Mick Foley would give them a match against the tag team champions.

Will never manage to not hear Hogan's voice whenever Braun speaks.

Look at his face. Is he Bronzer Strowman now?

God damn it.

Honestly, my disdain for Kane would be considerably less if he wasn't wearing that stupid fucking wig.

Brock/Kane would be terrible and not at all believable that Kane could win. Brock/Braun has already been done and it wouldn't look good for Braun to job again.

A triple threat could potentially be a fun trainwreck, allows Kane to do the job, and Braun can be kept strong by going through the announce table or something.

It blows my mind that two years ago Braun had like six matches under his belt and was the drizzling shits, now he's 2017's Stone Cold Hulk Hogan.

Paulie's here.

Alternatively, they could, you know, not book a match where all answers are wrong.

well, here comes the pain

Lesnar should eat that Fernando > Lesnar sign and wipe his ass with it.

Kurt you pussy.

Uh oh are we going to get that Brock vs Kane match I know we've all been dying to see?

Well, that didn't take long.

And fuck.

Good boy, Kane. You take that F5.

I agree. But this is WWE.

Well, there's 1 answer for next year's tipsters.

Hope the ring survives. Wouldn't want the Rumble to get cancelled.

Kane's probably the nicest guy or whatever, but I have absolutely ZERO interest in watching him wrestle.

Rollins/Joe could be good.

Just gotta hope the SummerSlam main event is the template they use for the Rumble. Just let three big dudes do inhumane things to each other for a while before Brock wins.

Seriously Kane is like 50 where did this push come from?

Brock's The Man Now, Dog

"Kane just sat up from an F5!"

...60 seconds later.

To be fair, Kane vs. Brock Lesnar is something new. (I didn't say it would be good or was 15 years too late -- but new).

Did The Shield break up again?

Seth back to his old entrance.

I have a whole new respect and love for Booker T after hearing Saxton last night

Has Jason Jordan got X-Pac heat yet?

OOH AH OOH AH OOH AH

or is it more like go away heat?

Kind of funny how short The Shield's reunion was considering all the hype and blabbering by commentary about its return. They pretty much are just a group in name only now.

Jordon sounds a little like Dustin Rhodes

Sounds fair.

No because his matches are still really fucking good

That's exactly what X-Pac heat is.

They all do their own entrance.

The "SJ" star from Joes titantron reminds me of "Jamstars" avatar.

looks like these two pretty gals wanna dance with each other first

What is there to look forward to tonight?

(this is an honest question, not trying to be a dick)

Something tells me Jordon will slowly work his way into fans hearts like a heartworm

I dunno what the problem is. I like Jason Jordan a lot.

Why is facing Samoa Joe a PRIZE? People should be terrified.

It all started with an idea...........

"This is boring" chant for Rollins/Jordan

Ouch.

They think this is boring? fuck this crowd

That's what I thought they were saying. Nothing wrong with this match so far.

Been liking his character as a "li'l b***h" as of recent weeks

Yeah, it's working for him.

He wears it really well glad WWE had sense enough to switch gears on him

dunno who was stupid enough to think nepotism was the way to push a face

Going to assume the crowd simply just wants to see Rollins-Joe instead of another attempt by the WWE to get Jordan over with crowds.

Match itself has been fine, crowd just doesn't want to be as invested in Jordan like the WWE has been trying.

The rolling Northern lights is incredibly impressive.

A small gripe with Jordon (and a lot of wrestlers really) not making it look like you had a plan for somebody doing a springboard or move from the top
Jordon just walked into it hands by his sides

I thought it looked like he was about to toss him over his head.

Frog splashes used to be finishers

Kinda like Kurt Angle used to do.

We saw his former partner hit a chaos theory on Big E last night

crazy

Kane recovered awfully fast from Brock Lesnar to RT this just now

Jason Jordan loses again. Maybe he should face Braun next week.

Rollins has a really weak finisher, shoulda kept the pedigree.

There was no reason to split American Alpha.

Samoa Joe and Braun two of the most over faces in the company right now.

Asuka? I assume.

He needs a finisher badly

It broke Cena's nose. It's not weak.

Cole calls Samoa Joe out for a cheap shot when Rollins original cheap shot on the outside is what started that whole thing.

Just realized I'm looking forward to SDL tomorrow

Ambrose should be pissed that both of his partners have already been in a match tonight.

Oh no. Please don't.

WWE revolves around Samoa Joe incredible

Why has Finn been smiling so much lately? Is it because he just likes to have fun?

I can see Vince notes to Graves "Make sure you hit WOKEN really hard" last part is triple underlined

please don't say that.

He just loves to have fun (MAGGLE).

Balor upgraded to an "extraordinary man" tonight!

Hey it's Finnegan McOver

Haha, I thought I heard that too. I'm glad somebody realized that you can't make a star by calling him "ordinary".

If WWE did a way better job with Finn, the "first ever Universal Champion" tag line would be a lot more meaningful and aura worthy.

Instead its a weekly reminder of how far Finn has fallen since that moment.

The Ordinary Man Among Men

RIP neckbrace

So now its an extraordinary man doing Extra ordinary things.

hmmm

Balor needs to go to SmackDown. He's just treading water on Raw.

RAW should just be wrestling..no skits. they can fill the rest of the time up with woken matt laughing..

Did finn keep that smile the whole break his face must hurt

A bit redundant now

Bo picked that jacket off a Vegas card dealer
