That ambrose rollins match made raw a win no matter what. Epic raw match one of the better ones of this era for sure. And to have ambrose go over? Gotta love it.

Sami Zayn & Charlotte confirmed backstage for RAW tonight.

Montreal is Zayn and Owens' hometown.

Zayn vs Cena

 

[TCD]

Sami fucking zayne pop ces formidable.

 

[ob1force]

Yup, this has officially been the best RAW since post Mania, IMO. Idc how the rest of the night goes, I have been more than impressed tonight, and I am a pretty tough critic. To think I almost skipped the entire show to get extra time on studying for finals.

 

[TCD]

Yup this raws been fantastic.

That cena zayne match was really good. I got markbumps at the end there. Despite the predictable cena win they booked sami really strong.

 

[Shawon0Meter]

Yeah, I feel pretty good about the way that match went.

Started off kinda sloppy and got better as the match went on. It doesn't seem good to have a guy kick out of every big move in your arsenal in your debut but I guess that guy was Superman John Cena...

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Dat through the rope DDT hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng

 

[ob1force]

Only thing missing in this episode of RAW is the IC title. I thought they would finally address the situation with Bryan but I guess not. Maybe next week but doubt it.

Seems like finishers really arent finishers anymore for anyone in the wwe though. Everyone seems to kick out of them now. Everyone and their moms is kicking out of the AA these days the first time. But yah Cena gunna be super Cena all the time.

As much as Cena annoys me... it was nice to see him give a rub to a guy like Zayn.

Hell of a fucking match.

That and could have used lucha lucha lucha instead of the ascension whom i personally can not tolerate in the ring or out of it. They need to go back to nxt where they wont be jobbers. They dont have the builds to be pulling off that gimmick on the main roster. Will never go over being a road warriors/ demolition/powers of pain rip off when their physical appearance just isnt intimidating.maybe a sandow segment would have been good too..although i didnt realize he wasnt on the show till it was over..so what does that say.

Ones gotta think the way they are finally booking Ambrose that it says DBs injury is going to keep him out a very long time. Ambrose is about to get the DB push.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

WHAT THE ****!!!! They actually got the ending right?!?!?!

AMBROSE GETS A FUCKING PUSH!!!!

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Sami Zayn may need shoulder surgery.

Hideo Itami is out for 4-6 months with an injury as well.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Macho Mandow and Axelmania fucking RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TCD]

Not a horrible Raw for a go home show but not the best either I give it around a 6.5.

I just can't get into the Wyatt/Ryback feud at all. There is no meat to it. Bray spent weeks doing those cryptic promos then only 2 real weeks of the two actually building the match after that. No substance to it at all.

Neville with another win

Loved how Rollins got shit kicked at the end of the show

Yah Macho Mandow and Axlemania slays me..too funny. I like that sort of comedic break

New Day keeps winning me over and I am still invested in the rivalry with Cesaro and Kidd. These Tag Teams remind me of the good old days of the tag team division and if they throw Harper/Rowens, Sandow/Axle, Lucha Dragons, Prime Time Players and build them all really well then that tag division could be super fun. Not sure about the Ascention still though..I hate em and the way they are jobbing I think they are dead in the water anyways. Them and El Matadores can stay doing house shows for all I care.

What happened to my boy Heath Slater trying to get his USA title open challenge match? That shit was killing me...did they pull the plug on it? Slater kills me for some reason. I still liked his booking when he kept having to face the Legends everynight and he was getting his ass kicked by them all.

Ambrose build is getting good but damn it I just know he is in the fatal 4 way to be the guy to take the pin. At least after that I hope they give him the now vacant IC belt and give him a good long run with it. Speaking of I am pretty sure that May 31st Elimination Chamber Network "ppv" is going to be for the IC strap unless they rinse and repeat with the fatal 4 way guys.

If for the IC strap I would like to see Ambrose, Wyatt, Neville, Ziggler, Sheamus and maybe Rusev? Think that gives a good balance of heels and faces, strong style, brawlers and high flyers. Could be fun if booked right. Can't say I have ever been a huge Elimination chamber fan but...with the right guys it can be good.

According to the WWE website, the Tag Team Championship and the vacant Intercontinental Championship will be defended inside the Elimination Chamber. In addition, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and US Championship will also be defended but not inside the EC. Good enough for me, I hope the IC title match ends up being the main event.

I am very much intrigued by having a tag team title match inside the EC. New Day vs Brass Ring Club vs Wyatts vs Lucha Dragons would be too sick. For the vacant IC title, there are too many guys I would love to see enter. Orton, Reigns, Bray, Ryback, Rusev, Neville, Ziggler, Sheamus, Ambrose, Barrett, Sandow, Cody Rhodes (please get rid of Stardust), etc. There will probably be something along the lines of a tournament for these guys to earn spots for the match.

My only question is, who faces Rollins and who faces Cena for their respective belts? WWE will only have 2 weeks after Payback to build something quick.

My hats off to the WWE that if you put the right guys, Cena can be in a five star match.

Orton will face Rollins again.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Apparently the decision to add elimination chamber was made right before raw last night.

3 PPVs in 6 weeks is overkill imo.
