So what about that Strowman vs Lesnar match?

Vince canceled Braun's opportunity at the beginning of the night because Braun murdered Vince's limo trying to catch and murder Corbin.
Vince fined him 100k, then Braun talked shit about how the limo wasn't worth that much, so Vince took his title match. |

Better not be a squash either...I feel like it won't be...I think they are setting Finn up for something good at Mania...maybe against ElderTaker

Graves is laying the heel stuff on a little thick. Approaching JBL levels of annoying.

Vince (and obvious henchmen) vs Braun for Mania run?

Finn gets his win back from Cena. A bit surprised by the ending of the IC title match.

If Kevin Owens is close to returning, Lashley vs. Owens for the IC Title at Mania makes a lot of sense. That belt is such an albatross though.

I've got this weird feeling that Finn might win at the Rumble. When Brock won the belt back, I imagined that it would be to drop it at Mania to someone, but Vince might figure that he can put Balor over Brock at the Rumble and Braun over Brock at Mania and get two "stars" out of it. I still think Seth is winning the Rumble.

Big Dave is saying that Braun was pulled from the Rumble match for reasons other than injury.

Well, if Benoit could beat Brock for the title (that happenned, right?) Balor is a possibility.

Benoit never best Lesnar. Even if he did, it's not the same. Benoit is way more believeable than Balor.

Balor vs Leaner
My Universe mode in 2k was predicting the bloody future. |

My guess is the plan was/is to put Lesnar over and they didn’t want to job Braun out to him again, so they switched it up. Balor can lose but come out of it looking stronger than going in, and if they do Balor vs Lesnar here they can always keep The Demon vs Lesnar for somewhere down the line.

I can only watch the 90 minute Hulu version since I've moved, but I enjoyed Raw quite a bit from what I saw. Best in a looooong time.

I liked the way Lacey Evans made her debut to be honest. Elias used to make appearance like this.

You can surely con someone into sharing Comcast credentials to stream it. Not that it's worth it most weeks, but this week was. |

I think there’s ways to make it interesting. WWE have done an awful, awful job with it. They shouldn’t have rebranded it “The Demon King”. He shouldn’t have used it on his first PPV. It should be a persona he “taps into” when necessary, not “its a PPV fuck it I’ll get covered in paint”. He needs to change up his moveset and wrestle a more aggressive style when he’s The Demon. They could do an angle where The Demon persona becomes like a split personality of sorts and he is “scared” of what he does in Demon mode, or he begins to enjoy it and stays in the persona more than he should. Make it a bit closer to a Bruce Banner/Hulk type deal. |

They kind of fucked it up by having him have like seventeen more matches with Corbin in the normal Grin Balor persona, but in isolation, the actual Demon part went better. |

Nikki Cross is terrible, wow.
Heavy Machinery retard interrupted Heyman, wtf? I'm oldish with Finn winning, but what a hot mess of Raw. Didn't even care about the IC match because all 3 those guys bore me to death. |

I don't disagree, but do you watch regularly? I think it's really jarring how bad wrestling is when you come back to it after a while of not directly watching.

I pvr raw and smackdown and fast forward through quite a bit. I can't really get into NXT but I'm not much of a "non" WWE fan.
