He could be a heel manager for years. It’s hard to believe heel Truth was 13 years ago.

Punk vs Cody promo was excellent! That's how you build the Royal Rumble. When those two eventually have a feud it will be outstanding.

I thought Punk’s line in the Rumble was spicy. “I didn’t come back to lose to Dusty’s kid.”

Emotional promo from Punk and nice set up to the feud with McIntyre (Summerslam?). How can you hate CM Punk?
They've got an injury problem heading into Wrestlemania 40... I hope they don't go Cody/Seth and Rock/Roman. |

feels not unlikely at this point, especially with the punk v drew feud so visibly in the mix now too tbh
leaning towards the triceps injury being a work |

i have been v much on the "cody has to finish the story" train for a few reasons but honestly after seth's promo i don't hate the idea of cody choosing him instead
i like it when they let the wrestlers get a little honest on the mic, bc i don't think seth had to dig too deep to find the gravitas and reality behind what he was saying about roman. but it made him believable and i found myself quietly agreeing |

I haven’t seen the Cody/Seth promo, but if the issue is that Punk is out and they also need a new opponent for Gunther: Seth vs. Gunther is the most direct way to address that.

If Punk is out, I hope they let him do commentary. Punk calling WrestleMania would be grand.

So I actually watched Raw this week. Good show. Didn’t drag nearly as much as other Raws I have tried to watch.
Highlights: * Jey Uso and Gunther’s story in the opening tag. * Sami Zayn is so good. * The work in general was really good. * Seth/Cody promo. * Becky/Nia/Rhea segment. |

The product is pretty cohesive. They’re serving bits up I’m not really interested in but on the whole the product is good.

Seriously wonder what Zayn is going to do at WM... from being one of the main events last year to not really having any story or steam this year....
Seemed like he was going to face Drew before all the plans changed, and seems like they are still planting that... but they are also planting that Drew is gonna fight Rollins at WM now. |

Feels like they are def putting the title on Drew. Rollins needs a rest and with Drew still not signing a new contract as far as I know, I think maybe they told him he gets another run as champ to entice him to stay. Plus he's gonna get a big feud with Punk later this year if he stays, possibly 3-way feud with Rollins involved too. Should be good stuff.

I imagine he has a program with Judgement Day between Rollins and Punk returning. He has some history with JD from a few months ago and Damian has to attempt a cash in at some point. Would be a good filler program while he waits for Punks re-return.

Drew winning the WHT seems “obvious,” and while I’m enjoying what I’ve seen from Drew, I’m kind of hoping they don’t go down that tidy route. I’m hoping LA Knight wins the Chamber and Drew has got more stuff to whine about.
Zayn’s mission to get onto WrestleMania reminds me of Mick Foley looking for his moment in 2006 or Jericho throwing MITB out there in 2005. I don’t know if I’d do this, but Zayn challenging a bunch of guys to a multi-man Ladder Match of some sort seems like something that could have come of this in previous years. I am still hoping for Zayn & Jey Uso to be in the Tag Team Title scene. Them against Solo & Jimmy at WrestleMania could be fun. |

I want Knight to win the Chamber and go against Seth. Rock gets the production truck to use the photo of Becky & Knight together to try and torture Seth. Rock tries to anoint LA Knight his chosen one, but Knight sticks to his own guns and wants to be his own thing, but doesn’t shy off from letting Seth know he’s a fool for tangling himself up in other people’s business. LA Knight is going to make more people care about the WHT in one night than Seth has done with an entire year. Rock and Roman use Knight as a challenger to push the idea that Seth might be nervous and Cody can’t trust him.
Zayn & Jey against Solo & Jimmy. SmackDown is in Philly before Mania, right? The brothers have a Street Fight in the main event there. Jey makes Sami promise to stay out of it, no matter what happens. Solo gets involved and the heels beat-down Jey for too long. Sami eventually makes the save, but Jey is weary that he told Sami not to get involved. Either team can be champs — Solo & Jimmy can win off Bate & Dunne or Jey & Sami can win off Judgment Day (preferable). Orton and McIntyre can have a match or something. |

I like that Dom has taken on Eddie Guerrero's move set and gets Vicky Guerrero's heat.

Where has this Seth Rollins been?!
Remember when he opened every RAW as WWE Champion with boring 20 minute promos in a whiny voice? From that to his budget Joker promos, unwatchable. This was good. |

I hope Drew wins. He has been awesome.
He can drop the belt to Punk. |

Outstanding episode of RAW.
The Rock and Cody face off and subsequent brawl. Awesome. The problem is again Cody vs Roman has even less heat. I'm sure they're cooking up something to get that one back on track. CM Punk and Drew McIntyre. I cannot wait for this one. The promo battles alone will be outstanding. Drew's stuff on social media where he takes jabs at CM Punk with AEW references has been gold! |

I haven’t watched the whole show, but those segments were good. I like Chad Gable coaching Sami Zayn. It’s a nice way to give Gable some shine. He gets to be responsible for Gunther’s reign ending. You can make two babyfaces instead of just one.

Not sure how I feel about the rushed Rocky 3 story for Sami Zayn. Found Sami and Chad paraphrasing Rocky and Adrian's conversation on the beach about being afraid kinda cringe. I thought the beat down by Gunther was cool.
