Monday Night RAW Updates/Discussion/Spoilers

[Cory]

Surprised there isnt a thread here to talk about Raw, but I'll be giving it a go here for the home stretch to Mania and now with Shane back I'm very intrigued.

[Fnord]

hahaha, yeah, that'll work. lol

Shane O'Mac coming back was a shocker. Midas pushed me when he came out.

[Cory]

Shane is a legit top 5 favourite WWE/F wrestlers for me so as weird and clusterfucky the HIAC vs Taker sounds, Shane ALWAYS puts his body on the line every time he has a match.

[Fnord]

Yeah, but this was then. He's like 45? now.

[Alex Smiley]

When I saw there was a separate Raw thread, I thought Fnord took the idea of an upcoming brand split too seriously lol.

Tonight's WWE RAW takes place from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch in a #1 contenders match has been announced for tonight.

WWE is focusing on the following points for tonight's show:

* How will Triple H continue to assert his power on The Road to WrestleMania after injuring Roman Reigns?

* How will Dean Ambrose respond to Brock Lesnar?

* Expect The Dudley Boyz to continue reminding WWE fans and the locker room that they're no mere nostalgia act

aaand Y2AJ is the worst tag team name ever.

Love arguably the top singles wrestler on the main roster getting teamed with cool dad himself Jericho for no apparent reason that screams we have no idea what to do with you.

Really?' Didn't scream that to me. It screamed "AJ/Jericho isn't over and Jericho is going to shaft AJ". I think they have plans, but this is more of a period of "let the casual fans acclimatize to AJ" before they pull the trigger.

[Fnord]

WWE has announced AJ Styles and Chris Jericho vs. WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day with the titles on the line for next Monday's RAW from Chicago.

WWE has also confirmed Shane McMahon for next Monday's RAW. Shane will be there to respond to what The Undertaker and Vince McMahon said on this week's show.

[Cory]

....and still no explanation.

WWE is focusing on the following points for tonight:

* Will Dolph Ziggler instigate himself into another all-or-nothing match?

* Expect the Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch rivalry to kick into gear in a big way

* How will Lana and Team BAD make their presence known?

* Who will enter in the third annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal?

* Will The Authority settle their Roman Reigns problem in the ring or with a mountain of litigation?

Outside of the AJ/Owens match, that was one of the worst Raws I've seen, especially for the second last to Mania.

I agree...

[Chris Shields]

Man, after that RAW I am just sooooooo happy that I dropped 250 bucks on a Wrestlemania ticket. 

[Cory]

and looks like another injury to one of the few good workers left in Luke Harper, heard he fucked his knee up in the dark match...add this to Neville in the last 14 days and jesus.

Well hey, at least there's Takeover: Dallas.
