* Has Roman Reigns earned another opportunity at Universal Champion Brock Lesnar?


* Who will qualify for Money in the Bank?


* Are KO and Sami friend or foe after Backlash?


* Can Bayley/Sasha put their differences aside when they face The Riott Squad?

Yes
Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Elias and Jinder Mahal
Friends pretending to be foes
No

They probably won't all qualify tonight. Hmm, Bobby Roode will probably be in there too. 9 seems like too many. I think they do one for Raw and SmackDown and one for the women.

Reigns winning the Universal Title in Chicago is going to be hilarious. Brock will have surpassed Punk's title reign by then too. Glorious.

They really need to run a long term injury angle and shelf Roman for 2-3 months.

I think whats going to happen is Lesnar and Reigns will wrestle at MITB and whoever wins MITB will cash in on them like Seth Rollins did at WM and pin Reigns so they can get the belt off Lesnar.

Same answers for the above questions.

How bad is our addiction that we are going to sit through three more hours of this.

We get to see the continuation of Nia and Bliss!

The best way to start Raw off tonight is with a Roman Reigns in ring promo

What's the fucking point

Dark One entering the RAW existential crisis zone early tonight

Evening boys & girls.

"WHAT'S EL TACO NEGRO DOING IN THE EXISTENTIAL CRISIS ZONE?!"

Activating 99th title shot

No
Curt Hawkins, Bo Dallas, No Way Jose, Jinder Mahal, Mike Kanellis, & Mojo Rawley
Frenemies
Yes or maybe No since Creative keeps forgetting each week.

"Last night, the viewers experienced the Backlash."

Oh, Corey. If only you knew.

"we never stop pushing Roman!"

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN! has something to say about this.

Ha ha at Thanos Braun sign

Remember Kurt, just give him what he wants.

I CHOPPED THAT MOTHERFUCKIN' TREE DOWN!

Even as a kid, Braun was tipping over objects

Glad Corey didn't call out Coach for missing Braun in TLC this year.

Here's Kevin Owens with a death wish.

Braun killed kids

BAD MONSTER

Think Owens took one too many bumps on the head last night. Publicly insulting The Braun is not wise for one's health.

BAD MONSTER

RING THE BELL!

Just tuning into RAW what is going on w/ KO and BRAUN?

They both want a free ride into MITB.

Angle just made a match between them as a qualifier.

Thx!

anything else happen so far?

This should be brutal as hell

Roman gets auto bid into Money In The Bank. Everyone else has qualifying matches tonight.

We don't know that 💯, TBF.

Wonder if the winner of the MitB case is limited to just their brand's title or can go after any title like Rumble winners.

Made sense when they had brand specific cases or shows that it would not be possible but now that every PPV is co-brand, wonder if that restriction is gone.

Also, poor Alexa. Sending positive vibes. 🙏

Lol at coach thinking that Bron can't climb a ladder for some reason

Is she ok?

I know what you meant but saw that spelling and thought of LeBron trying unsuccessfully to climb a ladder and thought to myself

Owens is awesome.

According to Metzer and WrestleTalk, she injured her shoulder v. Nia last night.

These guys are really good together.

That giant eat beast of a woman should be suspended and sent to fat camp for the summer

My fantasy dream match for KO is against Austin. I think they would have had an epic match. Fuck Strowman just knocked Owen's head off.

OMG! What a bump by Owens that was cool.

Owens doing a very good job of illustrating how a smaller man takes down somebody like Bruan making it look believable

Braun's steamroll run on the outside is great. Owens makes them look really brutal.

Braun vs KO is a surprisingly great match

Okay he's dead.

Oh man this is fun.

That was fun.

I'm just going to get this out of the way it's not me it's spell correction

Imagine when he tries to do that to Brock but gets caught in an overhead belly to belly through a table.

now that people kept pointing out the long-haired dude I can't unsee him thanks a lot dicks

I'd agree but we all know she'd just eat everything in sight while she was there. She needs an inedible solitary room with padded walls and a huge straitjacket.

Hopefully Sami wins I am disinterested in the other two. They could turn Sami at anytime to be a babyface.

I figured that. Was just saying your unintentional misspelling made me giggle.

I want to say Ember is going to win this but she hasn't done enough yet and Ruby Riot seems to be on a roll

Wow. Adam Sandler doesn't age. Like at all.

Still hppe to see my dream buddy comedy film come true with him and Jim Carrey in one together. My two all-time favorite funny men.

Is Roman really into the MITB already for beating Joe?

And Bayley may somehow cost Sasha in the match, too.

No.

He's in a triple threat match with Balor & Zayn for a spot.

NO!

NOT SMARTPHONE PROMOS!

The interview guy has a disturbing head

Bayley is so annoying

That was a good heel promo. Let the man be heel.

And thus facilitating her long-awaited 1997 Eddie Guerrero heel turn

I'm all for Goldust being in the MITB.

Roman is such a cock why not just turnhim into a bad guy

This "Reigns is pissed at management" storyline is really stupid even by WWE standards. Reigns keeps claiming management holds him down yet he keeps getting title shots and main events.

WWE desperately wants Reigns to come off like Stone Cold for this but its not working because the storyline is just a big mess.

I've really had enough of No Way Jose already.

I would Mark out for days if Goldust won the Money in the Bank

Yes! DANCE PARTY! I NEEDED THIS!

jose no way. please...just go away

Braun won.

I really have no other reason to stay tuned in tonight.

I hope No Way Jose gets injured badly in this match.

Adam Rose needs to return to fight No Way Jose for this lame gimmick

WAITING FOR ROLLINS. This is Monday Night Rawlins right?

It's like they completely forgotten how to write an anti authoritarian upper management hated Stone Cold it's pretty clear that they're in love with Roman there's no way he can make the claim that they're against him and have people buy it

Nice of Titus to recover from his sudden Tripaitis disease.

I'm about to see Baron Corbin and no way Jose and a match together give me strength

Theres supposed to be a tag team mitb match? WHY

theres not enough tag teams

Roman coming across as really unlikable

again...

if mgmt is mad at Roman why did his match close the ppv...

Dont care about this match at all. Hope they all get hurt

The Lone Wolf Baron Corbin....... And Company

He's not wrestling Nia

Yeup. The brief time it worked for Reigns involved Vince both times but led to nothing since WWE couldn't resist the urge to quickly go back to Cena-like stale booking for him.

Same for not letting him gradually develop his own special persona instead of shoehorning former mega star personas to him.

Baron Corbin seems like he would be an incel..... Someone should give him that gimmick.

Nia reminds me of Earthquake

How long til he's just Jose

If Nia Jax injured Alexa's tits shoulder, i'll be fucking pissed.

Roman or Nia more hated now?

Im pretty sure he does not. Hes a Chad. that should be his gimmick.

:eek: rare win by someone Angle traded for a few weeks ago.
