Spoiler: Raw Results

Opening

Stephanie McMahon came to the ring. She talked about the women's Royal Rumble and brought the winner, Asuka to the ring. Stephanie announced that the Raw Women's title would be defended in an all women's Elimination Chamber. Sasha Banks came out and said she was ready for Asuka. Stephanie made a match for them tonight.

After the commercial, Kane was taken out on a stretcher.

On paper the card itself looks fairly boring, I’ll give you my opinion in a few hours as I haven’t watched the show.

What are they doing with Matt? Is this WOKEN gimmick fading away and classing itself as OBSOLETE, or are they turning WOKEN into Broken?

 

[The Sheik]

Opening segment was decent until that purple haired freak came out then i changed the channel

Coach is back on commentary. That's amazing, miss hearing his voice calling matches

Strowman destorys shit again, always fun

Elias is the best, he beat Hardy and is going to Elimination Chamber. Great move

The Miz beat Roman Reigns again.. Not that surprising considering the IC Title was on the line. Good match

I love the Revivals promos. Match was boring obviously

Sheamus and Cesaro are getting stale as tag champs

Cena and Finn was pretty good. Cena looked like an idiot throughout the match tho.

6/10 average show

Hi Everybody!

Hi Dr. Nick!

Let's see what is happening on RAW tonight...and remember...

~ I'm actually glad that Coach is back...now we won't have to listen to Booker T
bury Jason Jordan every week.

~ A Women's Elimination Chamber...YES! YES! YES! I mean its a year late
but still YES! YES! YES!

So...is Alexa actually going to wrestle or defend her title before then? I
only ask because she hasn't defended the title in 112 days & she has only
wrestled one televised match in the last 72 days. I mean...she didn't even
show up tonight.

At least Charlotte has been active wrestling tag matches nearly every week...
all Alexa has been doing has been sitting on her biscuit butt doing sweet fuck
all.

So...Asuka isn't in the Elimination Chamber match right? Okay...so...

Alexa, Sasha, Nia, Bayley, Mickie &...Ronda? Ronda wins the title...Asuka vs.
Ronda at Wrestlemania? Maybe?

I mean she may show up on SmackDown tomorrow to challenge Charlotte
for all we know.

~ Yes! More focus on Sasha please WWE!

~ Asuka vs. Sasha tonight? Well...I would have waited till Wrestlemania but
sure...I'm keen!

~ Braun is in the Elimination Chamber...I mean he isn't winning it...but he
should be in the match.

Why do I have the feeling he's going to rip a side off the actual chamber during
the match allowing "other" people to get in...

~ Okay...so I'm stoked the Drifter is in the Elimination Chamber...but I was kind
of hoping Woken Matt & Bray would be in the match as well.

Well...there are only 6 spots...so you can't include everyone I guess.

~ Wow...The Miz now has 2 victories over the Plank of Wood...Nice!

~ Yeah...we kind of guessed the Elimination Chamber match would be for a title
shot at Wrestlemania Paul...it kind of had to be really.

~ So...The Bar vs. The Revival at Elimination Chamber? I'd be keen for that.

~ I'm really hoping Finn gets the win tonight...I really am.

~ Sasha is Awesome! You all know it! Just admit it!

~ And well...

*Watches*

HOLY SHIT ON A SHIT SANDWICH WITH SHIT ON TOP!!!

SASHA WTF!!! STOP IT!!! NO MORE DIVES!!! PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU!!!

& Asuka wins & that's cool...but this was great match. Let them do it again for
the title at Wrestlemania!

Come on WWE...let Sasha win the title at the Elimination Chamber & fight Asuka
at Wrestlemania...in fact...& I'm just going to say it. Sasha should be the one to break
the undefeated streak by cheating to retain at Wrestlemania.

The story writes itself...well...it does in my brain...

~ I am also beginning to wonder what Cena will be doing at Wrestlemania...

~ Well...the Bar won...I'm not really surprised.

~ And CenaWinslol...Ugh...so Finn vs. The Miz for the I.C title at Wrestlemania?

And I'm done...

Seems a bit lack-luster considering it is the day after the rumble but still, I will watch a recap and see how it goes. Sounds better than the normal mediocre Raw at least.

I was busy tonight so I didn't get to watch, but I did have some free time at the opening. I can't believe I'm agreeing with Sheik here, but when Sasha Banks showed up I changed the channel.

Other than that I got to see Bar beat Titus Worldwide, and I must say Apollo is really impressive. Not world champion impressive or anything, but I hope his 2018 isn't going to be as awful as his 2016 and 17

Also for like, a few lines I heard Coach, and from that sample size, way better than Booker and way way way way way better than Otunga

 

[Grievous 3D]

but when Sasha Banks showed up I changed the channel.

No...don't do that...

Sasha's Awesome...and she can actually wrestle...
you know...the most important part of being a wrestler.

*Looks at Alexa Bliss*

Also for like, a few lines I heard Coach, and from that sample size, way better than Booker and way way way way way better than Otunga

But let's be honest...its not hard to sound
better than Booker T & David Otunga right?

Exaggerate much ? It couldn't have been that bad, dude.

I didn't say anything was bad. Did you quote the right post?.

 

[Grievous 3D]

Sheamus and Cesaro are getting stale as tag champs

Hey...Piece of Trash...how can Sheamus & Cesaro be stale as
tag champions if they only just won the titles back 24 hours ago?

 

[Solid Snake]

Don't start insulting each other personally over opinions, especially not in this thread.

Its okay Snake...its my nickname for him...

Its meant as a term of endearment.

Noo, i love the insults.. It makes me laugh how angry some of them get over opinions.

While personally I like The Bar, I can kinda get what he meant. Sure, this reign has only been a day, but I'm pretty sure he means in general. Like when Cena won his 16th title last year, I thought it was stale despite the short reign, because he already had 15 reigns that were extremely similar

 

[Solid Snake]

Not surprised they retained but I question these names...

Also, this was lovely:
