Raw Thread - 2/26/18 - Let's see what Wrestlemania is REALLY going to look like!
 

Call me crazy, but I have a good feeling about tonight's Raw. Also, I kinda marked out for that Ronda Rousey segment from last night. Who wants to walk with Raw tonight?

I'll walk with RAW

I'm here to see a pissed off Braun Strowman kill somebody.

add Braun to the main event at WM plz

Cant wait for Roman Reigns !

They should have Chrisley host Wrestlemania

Still don't get the purpose of Strowman laying waste to everyone only to lose in the end and then a post-match beating spot that does nothing for him nor Reigns. Same for building up Rollins on RAW and then not using it to push him as the worthy challenger to Lesnar.

That would be cool if they hadn't just done a triple threat at the Rumble. That would be decidedly better, though.

Do they have to show this whole segment again? I literally just watched it like an hour ago.

Kurt was kinda hilarious last night.

Joan Jett's Bad Reputation is her entrance theme?

Joan Jett okay this?

So rude of Ronda acting like she did.

Yeah, thought that was the first time he made a positive contribution on the microphone and didn't seem like a malfunctioning robot.

:y:

Kind of surprised they are actually using video and not just stills for the Ronda recap.

Ronda > Reigns based on the PPV recap treatment.

Kinda weird how Steph went from being petrified, to growing the courage to slap Ronda, and then back to petrified in a matter of minutes.

GET READY FOR SIX WEEKS OF THIS

can't be unseen!

I'm sure the checks are clearing.

Alexa Bliss and Mickie James to open to show.

Putting the inevitable off for a little while.

:lol: at WWE going back to stills for PPV recap.

Alexa totally turning on James right now.

I really don't understand what Mickie James is trying to accomplish here.

Monday Night Rousey era begins

So the police know where to wait to arrest him and his stupid family

I thought the womens Chamber match was kinda dope. I was way into it.

I actually think this will be a horrible Raw.

Kid grew up quick

Mickie's attire last night looked pretty good. She usually dresses like a bit of an asshole.

I'd be down for Sasha v. Ronda at Mania.

I also thought it was pretty great. A lot better pace wise than the Men's Chamber and better flow than the Women's Rumble for the historic "1st" stuff.

Alexa's ass is made for primetime tonight.

:lol: talking about the sign pointing

Women's Chamber was pretty good @ABT, imo

Don't say anything, Asuka.

Asuka has CENA NUFF of Alexa Bliss tonight

Oh dear.....

Good work.

Tag team sense is tingling.

Ok lowering the bar

54-person tag match coming up or what?

6 WOMAN TAG MATCH BROTHAAAAAAAAA!

Mickie never officially...like, turned heel, did she?

Good segment.

Askua didn't talk and got jumped

ugh. Asuka going to team up with those 2 scrubs

So Mickie is suddenly a heel now and Sasha coming out for the save wasted a great opportunity of last night being the start of a heel turn for her.

Wow that opening segment felt like a filler at the hour and a half mark of a show...terrible

Why did Mickie James randomly turn heel? Makes no sense

Bliss was good. She's always good. Her and that Prime Time Ass.

Maybe Sasha goes full on heel during the match that's definitely about to happen.

Glad I'm not alone here. Thought I missed something.

HA!

/wish. Her character is so stale but the whole division can't be heels.

And then the Inflatable Bayley Buddies turn heel on Bayley to complete the friendship betrayal.

I guess that Mickie "turn" didn't really help things.

double turn. mickie goes "back" face and sasha goes heel

Why they acting like Sasha hitting Bayley in the Chamber is such a horrific event? It was every women for herself.

Now if Sasha was eliminated by Bayley and THEN attacked Bayley, that would have been dastardly.....

But it isn't a real stretch or "stab in the heart" that your opponent would seize an opportunity to attack you in a match.

My friend was telling me she wanted Bayley to come out and start stabbing the Bayley Buddies and dress like a goth.

Thanks Coach

Is Asuka allowed to lose in tag matches?

No prob

Why wa Sasha laughing after that Nia bump?

WHY YOU SUCH A BAD FRIEND? LOLOLOL

"WHY ARE YOU SUCH A BAD FRIEND?"

:lol:

In theory, at least, attacking one's best friend is not something they would do if they were truly that person's best friend, even in a competition. I guess that's what the argument is, but it's a weird argument.

LOL is Sasha drunk? What the fuck was that?

:lol: at "why are you such a bad friend" to Sasha by some random person in the crowd.

Someone just said " Why are you such a fat friend? "

Amazing.

Her just barely winning is irritating takes away the sense of her being unstoppable

Baylee as Heyman's illegitimate child would be totally believable.

this is tag team match playa and cena you're going one on one with the undertakkkaaaa

Those Bliss Ass shots are amazing

You know, RP is right. Alexa does indeed have a prime time ass.

Knew that was coming.

Kind of reminds me of Bret Hart, his oppenent was always in the match.

Ohhhhhh shiiiiiiiiittttttt

Heyman impregnates an anti abortion activist and doesn't call her back.

Bayley heel turn!

BAYTRAYAL!

I'll take Bayley v. Banks at Mania if it's anything like their Takeover classic.

The women are so clunky in the ring.

Did she officially even choose Alexa yet?

Asuka didn't look like a bitch in that match. Bayley is given something interesting to do again. Alexa's ass. I'll give it a thumbs up.

Cole's head looking transparent

Cena: I don't have a woman to propose to this year.

Who the fuck is supposed to feel bad for John Cena for not getting a Wrestlemania match?

Little Jimmy

That anti-smoking commercial is sure to give me nightmares tonight.

the troops and kids with cancer

and jort enthusiasts

really fucking sick of these anti-smoking commercials and I am a non-smoker

If WWE had the balls, they actually go with Cena not having a match at Mania but still being on the show in some form. Use it to build an actual redemption storyline for next year or as a possible start of a heel turn because he becomes too delusional about his status.

This just feels like every other interesting Cena storyline where its going to fall apart before it gets really interesting and/or back to the usual Cena booking in a few weeks.

Did John Cena try asking Kurt if he could have a match? Maybe that would work.

I would think John could just go ask Vince for a match at Wrestlemania. I'm sure Vince would say yes. It's going to be a 7 hour PPV.

I bet he starts crying ha!

:lol:

CENA NUFF

#BROKEN John Cena
