RAW was "meh" tonight.

Going to interesting to see what they do for the go home show next week.

WWE is getting worse and worse even with the 2nd biggest event of the year coming up.

I don't know what they were thinking giving Roman Reigns that promo. He's already pretty bad on the mic and tonight I felt embarrassed for him.

The Ascension won't be around long imo..there's nothing special about them.

ummmm what else what else

I do like the tension between Heyman/Lesnar and Rollins/The Authority. Lesnar sold that curb stomp like a champ

They needed to inject a new story line tonight IMO.

Daniel Bryan vs. Kane on Thursday? Really? Kane needs to go away. I thought all of RAW was a huge disappointment. Not sure what they can do on the go home show to make me feel different.

Anyone else think Sting will make an appearance at the Rumble? Not as an entrant, but just make an appearance? I actually think he will show up on the go home show to officially begin his feud with HHH. Hope he brings Rowan, Ziggler, Ryback as a group of vigilantes!

The Reigns promo was not great. He flubbed a few lines. That said, at times I could hear a Rock promo in there. He needs the mic time to get better. Until he's polished there is no way I can give him the strap without an advocate and I doubt they turn him heel to be a Paul Heyman guy.

I would think that the RR, the strap comes off Lesnar. If it is true he might head back to MMA, it would make no sense having him go into WrestleMania as the Champ. Everyone would know he was dropping it, and I think it takes a little away from the match. I would go the route of Cena pinning Rollins, only to have Lesnar come in and destroy Cena, thus having Rollins cash in for the Win. Have Rollins head into WrestleMania as the Champ, and have it against Ambrose, Ziggler or Bryan who should win the Rumble. I just don't think that Reigns is ready for the top spot yet.

The whole plan was for lesnar to drop the belt at wm to make a new star. I don't think the plans have changed. Him losing at the rr makes no sense in my opinion

I agree. It would be a slap in the face to the Undertaker and his legacy if he loses it at Royal Rumble, especially if Cena ends up walking away as champion. Even if Rollins wins it, it would probably not be clean.

To make a new star, someone needs to beat Lesnar clean, and there is no better place to do it than at WM.

Well Rollins is cashing in before WM... he's just had that fucking briefcase for too long. I bet he cashes in at the Rumble and Sting interferes and fucks everything up like he did at Survivor Series.

(This would help the Sting vs. Authority angle...)

I agree that it makes sense for Brock to only lose at WM and to lose clean.

Wonder if we'll see Sting on the Rumble go home show.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Seems like it was only a week ago it was Survivor Series. Can't believe next week is the Rumble!

On the dirt sheets they are saying there's a small chance that the Undertaker returns and interferes in some way shape or form in one of the matches.

No word on if he's medically cleared or not yet.

Unless Taker is the one who causes the distraction that costs Lesnar his title. It sets up the re-match with Undertaker at WM and then some combination of Cena, Rollins, and Bryan can have the WM title match. And Lesnar doesn't lose his dominant image.

I know it makes ending the Undertaker's streak a waste....personally I believe it would've been a waste no matter what and shouldn't have happened....but Reigns isn't the guy WWE thought he was going to be yet and even if it's obvious Lesnar will be leaving WWE, this is still a match many people want to see and will care about.

Wonder how Vince is going to blow the Rumble go home show tomorrow.

Also wonder if the fired guys will be back tomorrow or if they will somehow impact the Rumble itself.

Creative video but does nothing to move tickets our the network imo.

Taker if he fights needs sting, Rick, Austin, or Lesnar

Sean Waltman (Xpac), Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, Ron Simmons (Farooq) and Kevin Nash added to tomorrow's reunion show.

Apparently JBL is going to get confronted by The Ascension and Ron Simmons is going to come out (ACOLYTES REUNITE). WWE fucked up that booking, especially with the anemic tag division as it is.

They are thinking there may be a DX/nWo semi-reuinion... creative is still uncertain how to book it because they need to fit Sting into the program.

I am very excited for RAW, for once.

 

[Rex]

I will mark out HUGE if Razor Ramon is in the Rumble.

And not NWO Scott Hall, I want the fucking badguy!

 

[brett05]

The rumble serves three purposes....injury returns...surprise/fun enterants...wrestle mania opponent

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Opening segment for RAW was pretty good.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Bryan vs. Wyatt first match. .. although entertaining. .. why?
