RAW is in Chicago - 3.18.19
 

Dana Brooke + Kurt Angle and more!

Alternate title:

"Dark One could be playing The Division 2 but is here anyway"

How long before I regret this choice

I'll place a bet on by the end of the first match.

lol someone is celebrating their 70th birthday

Floor stage tonight.

Brock is kicking off the show

This crowd will show themselves as complete Nerds and like a desperate ex that can't let go chanting for CM Punk.

It sounds like the production truck is piping in the boos.

It's tricky with a crowd like Chicago.

Lesnar lookin real good.

I almost wouldnt mind Lesnar vs Mcintyre

1 more time = 13 times apparently

Thankx 4 yr take

C'mon. Dana Brooke doesn't need the shit kicked out of her again.

Nice hot start, and a nice touch having Brock look equal parts unnerved and impressed.

way to give away the surprise cole

Needs more Johnny Wrestling.

Nice of Cole to spoil who is Balor's mystery tag partner for the commercial break.

Nice manicure, Finn.

will anyone care about Braun vs Bobby at wm?

Oh my god Lio Rush has a mic.

WRAP

IT

UP

long long time 2years

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

Is that racist?

Knowing WWE....

There's at least a 15% chance that Braun's going to bolt for the back in the middle of this match and it's going to be revealed that Colin Jost sent him apology chocolates which were actually laxatives.

I apologize for the spoilers.

this match featuring a bald guy brought to you by shampoo

since when did raw do side by side ads

That Becky Lynch Head & Shoulders commercial was...…………….corny.

this match is <strike>presented</strike>preempted by head and shoulders

When they realized they could add more commercials by having people sponsor a match and have 90% of the match take place in a tiny box during the sponsor's commercials.

Charlotte needs to get jealous of beckys shampoo commercial

Wonder if there will be "The Man has Dandruff" signs

Dandruff

Still can't believe that after years and years of forced pushes and failed attempts, Vince finally gets a big man over organically with crowds and decided to reward this by not striking while the iron was hot for Braun.

Is Rush dead?

A few refs just hit the ring.

The Kurt Warner look-alike ref speaks.

rush getting thrown around was entertaining he is a good heel maneger

:lol: at the ref having security both for his own well-being and to make sure Ronda didn't do anything crazy at the show.

Missing Link

Was that it for Alexa??

:lol:

The what chants

Did Otis just steal No Way Jose's gimmick?

Nevermind, it was just part of the ploy by a burger disguised No Way.

Go away Jose.

This is adorable :lol:

No Way Jose getting an angle and match on Raw?

What universe did I fall into

This show is boring so far

Thanks for the rundown

Jose was wearing jeans before the break and now he’s wearing green pants. Odd.

I have a Jusse Smollett and R.Kelly joke to make but I'm just too bored

Watching Raw... 3 weeks before WrestleMania... Stuff should probably happen, U would think...

This was the point I began to regret not picking The Division 2.

Jose vs Elias was pretty boring overall.

Elias is a great character but truly feel like I have never seen a non-shitty/non-boring Elias match

What a terrible pick for Angle's final match

Oh jesus christ.

Of all of the options... Baron Corbin?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkk thhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Gable vs Angle!!!!!!

Although, I guess there's at least a good chance Kurt will win his last match if it's Baron Corbin but fuck

LOL WTF, is Glorious Gable gone?

LOL Angle/Corbin. Fuck that shit

I mean you will have ended your career but you will have ended your career against Baron Corbin that's not really a high note no matter what you do

LOL I called it

Corbin vs Angle

Baron Corbin :nono:

This. How the fuxk do you pick the ONE wrestler I despise so much I actually turn the station. At least Angle should go out on a win.......

Okay this is kind of a dream come true but what I wouldn't give for us to be able to go back in time and get 1999 Kurt Angle the face Gable

I hope so. I really disliked their entrance scheme and felt like the tag team held both men back.

Maybe next week Cena will come out and challenge Angle.......

Not sure what's worse, Angle claiming it was his choice to pick Corbin or WWE trolling the crowd by having Gable come out right afterwards.

Crowd struggling to be interested in this match after that dud of an announcement.

Okay who are they chanting USA at

Serious Technical Wrestling right here

I bet Corbin pins Angle in 3 minutes so he gets 'heel heat' and then can go feud with Seth Rollins after WM for like 3 months or whatever

Oh my God it's actual wrestling I don't know how to process this

Angle would choose to bang Luna over Alexa.

If they intended to do "Angle vs Corbin" at Mania, why would they book them in a squash match on RAW?

Actual Wrestling. Loving this.

Don't

Baron Corbin currently the #1 trend worldwide on Twitter

Crowd solidly behind Kurt. I appreciate that Gable is getting a competitive match.

Feel like they should turn Baron Corbin into a cartoonishly evil heel like Big Boss Man and have him like kidnap Kurt Angle's family or make him unknowingly eat his pet dog or w/e

We want Cena chant in chicago

hell froze over

Watching Wrestlemania is going to be a chore this year. Dear Lord, I am already dreading the runtime.

angle pins corbin superfast to allow cena to come out and be all "come on man, you dont want that to be your last match"

its only 7 hours

I can't wait for Corey to remind us how Sasha is a leech and is eventually going to stab Bayley

My dream porn shoot would be Me, Alexa Bliss, Mandy Rose and Sasha Banks. It would start with them eating each others holes while I'm in the bathroom sifting through there bathroom trash.

Or you could just not watch the matches you don't care about.

RAW's side of the card looks really terrible.

The most interesting match for RAW is the RAW Women's match but only because of Smackdown's Becky and Charlotte are involved in it.

Would be interesting if bald guys didn't shave their heads and every bald guy in WWE just had a George Costanza hair cut... idk...

Trish and Lita definitely facing Sasha and Bayley at WM

Wait, Beth? Whoa!

Wish Big Boss Man would come out and "clear the ring"

Ricci the Dragon Phoenix

Awoke the dragon?

Shouldn't that be a phoenix considering Beth's name.

#givecurrentdivasachance

I mean, a ghost appearing on national television would probably make people run the fuck away, yes.

Alexa Bliss has woken my dragon

SHOOTAMANIA RUNNIN' WILD

This has to get extended to a 4 way tag unless Nattie pulls a Braun on raw after mania should they win
