•Who will throw their hat into the ring for the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania?

All that and more, plus 205 LIVE, beginning tonight @8PM E/7C! Enjoy the show(s)!

Looks like I'll actually be able to watch live tonight. I hope DAMN iNATOR doesn't say stupid shit throughout the show to harsh my mellow.

I know, right?! HATE that guy. Also, now that I've got the Network I may even check out 205 LIVE.

Don't get ahead of yourself. Smackdown hasn't even started yet.

Here's hoping for good television.

Last night's RAW was tough to get through.

Hey, I was just agreeing with you about our mutual arch-enemy.

I'm here.


Run

This should have gone on much longer.

The Authority starting off the show........

I thought Raw was good last night, but whatever.

I hope Shane catches another big boot tonight.

I do enjoy the fact that Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon seem to be willing to work together, as opposed to the Stephanie/Mick dynamic.

C'mon, Smackdown Creative. You got time to avoid a disaster.

John Cena did one year, exchanged his right to fight at "No way out" instead.

I have friends sitting right here:

Go say hi if you're there.

Isn't RP there tonight?

Why are they showing replays of things that we saw in the opening video package.....

Maybe have your friends avoid RP.

Stalling for time? Not a big show planned?

One is black and one is a girl, so he'll probably be avoiding them on his own.

Musical chairs?!

I think there should be a "rigged" fan poll.

Lol, AJ clearly got piped in boos.

Didn't they already announce that Orton is gonna face Styles... why are they spending 20 mins on this... waste of time

oh :/

Must have time to kill

Yeah...... a rare big waste of time from the A-Show........

At least SD keeps it short and to the point

My friend (from the picture) is messaging me on Facebook live. I asked him about this, and he said AJ legit got more boos than cheers.

Because just like who is facing Bray at Mania, Shane and Bryan couldn't decide on how to start the show tonight.

The point that they made last week. It would've been easier to just have AJ come out with an angry promo (like what we're seeing backstage right now).

Ellsworth could definitely stand to fuck off right now and forever. It's not even funny anymore.

James Ellsworth only works as a pathetic face. Anything other than that is a terrible idea.

Wish Carmella still wore "shorts"........

How is that offspring tattoo not a source of instant heel heat?

Still can't believe Nikki somehow managed to convince Vince and Creative to scrap a potential Cena-Taker match for an inter-gender tag match at Mania instead.

Ellsworth's new trunks are an improvement over his generic red trunks IMO

Haha, I love that Mauro made an "Ether" reference. He's the best.
