The Ruien Returns to Raw Thread!
 

Woooo out of training! I have a television the hotel I am put in.

Also a fucking Lieutenant now in the Army fuckers.

Your stint with Team Gorm has served you well.

Was the first thing on my resume.

That should go a long ways in Trump's America

Stickied!

Welcome back -- I have a feeling you picked a HUGE show to return to!

News sites reporting the following are all backstage:

And Congratulations on being a Lieutenant!!

Hell ya. Hoping for a big Rollins day. Still believe WWE should have went with him as the face of the company. If he takes out Brock though maybe they will see him as the present.

How many weeks till Mania?

Hmmm. Should I go to Mania?

Happy 70th Birthday, "Nature Boy"!

ric's dead junkie son leaves less shame on his family than you

Probably just for Flair's birthday bash. I wouldn't be surprised to see Orton show up for it too.

Mania doesn't look all that great this year. NXT Takeover on the Friday before Mania looks insane though. Go to that.

man kinda pissed. Was gonna go to RAW tonight but scheduling conflicts prevented it :( Could go to the Smackdown house show still but meh.

Charlotte gonna <strike>beat up</strike> verbally abuse her dad on his birthday for heel heat

"You never Main Evented Wrestlemania!"

I'm really not looking forward to much.

I'm thinking they just loaded up the show just for a ratings grab. Roman's back (but is he cleared), Flair's birthday with a ton of legends guests, NXT call ups in action.

The question as always. How long before they put me to sleep.

:lol:

I was thinking the same thing. He'll get cheered for a little while. Then it's back to normal.

Sting better be on television but doubting it

wwe needed to sign jay lethal for 3 hours

My source just called me. He informed me that Roman will open the show and his leukemia is stage 4. He also will announce his retirement and he's entering the HoF this year. He'll also announce that he's shooting Thunder In Paradise 2 with the Hulkster.

hes been shooting some movie in hawaii

Let’s go Roman

How can I miss you if you wont stay away

They're doing an emotional video package. This means good news, yeah?

WOOOO RAW.

Roman is going to announce that radiation has given him superpowers and he's now Reignman.

For his birthday the company should parade out all of Ric's Ex-Wives demanding alimony

Oh wwe w/ those close-ups, so classy

So Roman eventually beat Brock?

He's just showing up to promote the Paige movie

Dean snapping and going heel that very night was great.

It doesn't matter if you have cancer or not the WWE love their shocked faces in the crowd shot

Dean Ambrose gonna be completely forgetful

He's baaaaack!

No matter what happens. I think this will end in a ...

6-way TAG MATCH PLAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Vince to commentary: "CLAP! LOUDER! LOUDER!"

i wish Cole would stop clapping

Vince must have been orgasming in tears over this on the one hand he finally got Roman the monster cheer he's been looking for for five years on the other hand his cash cow is leaving with no guarantee of ever being able to come back

That Roman Reigns fan on Twitter just exploded in orgasm

All you have to do is

Ro Lie Ve

Not that huge of a pop for Reigns but off to a better start than with last week's mostly dead crowd.

WAS THAT DAVID ARQUETTE?!

BAWWWWWW GAWD WHAT IS DAVID ARQUETTE DOING HERE? HE'S HERE FOR THE BELT!

Not the best time to be chopping onions.

Let's be honest the first hour is completely his if he wants it

David Arquette for the run in

I think this long entrance is just a ploy to make Undertaker jealous and get him back for WM35.

Soak it all in, Roman. They'll eventually turn against you faster than they did for Chuck Pagano.

Roman Reigns coming back from battling cancer still play second fiddle to the Wrestlemania sign I love Vince McMahon he's such a cock

Reigns/Arquette at WM

in for one "not the Size of the dog but the fight in the dog"

David Arquette sighting

All jokes aside though...

Where's Alexa Bliss?

Now the crowd's mellowed a bit

WEVE ALL GOT LEUKEMIA

Roman prob going to insert himself into the WM main-event, Ronda vs Charlotte vs Roman

Just found out Vince had this on repeat on his portable cd player all day. MP3 players and smart phones are too technical for him.

hoping for a 1 more match chant

Happy for Roman but I want this sergeant to be over.

Good thing this isn't in Lafayette, Louisiana

If Roman just tells everyone he lied, this would be the single greatest heel turn that could ever be accomplished.

Wait a minute Roman isn't it kind of arrogant to think that God favors you

God it down a little, Roman..

Ola re vato, I lied homes...

Mark Henry Approved

Let the man speak his heart

Sort of bored w/ this so far tbh (ducks)

Oh boy.

I'm actually going to say the same thing ease up on the god throttle man but it is his moment so whatever

Wooooo! Update!

Spit it out.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hell yeah! Good for Roman.

Remission! Fuck yeah!

:y: Reigns spearing his leukemia back into remission.

Roman vs Brock tonight lol

WRAP

IT

UP

A class act indeed.

McMahon backstage right now wishing there was a way to liquidize those cheers and inject it straight into his veins so he could just veg out for an hour

Oooooh. Some empty seats over on the camera side.

Don’t be a hater, Slik.

How many times does Ronda have to beat the Riot Squad up?

This was way more important than anything else that can happen on this show.

I'm glad he's feeling all right I truly am now we can go back to booing the s*** out of him
Jk
Glad there's not too many people that can beat cancer a second time Roman is the man

ROLLINS!!!

Glad to hear he is healthy

Now, no more 20 minute promos to eat the beginning of RAW no matter who it is, plz

Ah man! Would’ve loved to see Dean come out.

Cool

Yep. Love the man, doesn't mean any of us have to like his wrestling.

Letting this week slide

When did you transform into that one wrestling fan who makes extremely uncomfortable comments?

Oh yeah I don't plan to do it this week or next week or the week after but at least now when it does happen he knows that it comes from a place of love

Where the fuck was Dean though? He went heel for a bit but he's back to being a face now, so it's weird and slightly disappointing that he didn't greet his friend.

Alright. Aleister Black.

Ohhhh. Is Black the new Boring Corbin?

Why does Black have an NXT nameplate? He didn’t have one back in NXT.
