RAW Five-Point Review:

​

The Road to WrestleMania is finally clear, and the main event of Batista challenging Randy Orton for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is set. However, the lay of the land is anything but calm in WWE the night after Elimination Chamber. The Shield’s dominance is in question after they failed to defeat The Wyatt Family, John Cena and Daniel Bryan are gunning for the Superstars who cost them the WWE World Heavyweight Championship … and, of course, there’s the little matter of a returning WWE Hall of Famer. So check out WWE.com’s five-point preview for the first Raw on The Road to WrestleMania … brother.​

1. Whatcha gonna do?

​

After a seven-year absence from the empire he helped sculpt with the biggest arms in the world, Hulk Hogan returns to Monday Night Raw. The former Undisputed Champion will likely look to get reacquainted with the WWE Universe before he handles the hosting duties of WrestleMania 30, but the landscape of WWE has drastically changed since The Hulkster last came home. With new faces like The Authority, The Wyatts and Daniel Bryan in play, is “The Immortal One” already in danger? Or will he show them, once again, where the power lies?​

2. After the war

​

The war is won, and The Wyatt Family are the victors. After a ruthless collision of WWE’s two most fearsome factions, Bray Wyatt and his family stood tall over the vanquished Hounds of Justice at Elimination Chamber. But while Bray seems to have already chosen his next victim (more on that in a bit), what awaits The Shield, who were methodically isolated and defeated down the stretch of their biggest test? Can they right the ship once more? Or has the clock finally struck twelve for one of the most dominant groups in WWE history?​

3. The Viper and The Animal

​

So it’s settled, then. Randy Orton will indeed defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 30, and Batista will be there waiting for him. Tensions between Triple H’s two protégés have been boiling for weeks since Batista won the Royal Rumble Match, and with the undisputed prize now on the line between the two, how will Orton kick off the road to his biggest title defense ever? And will The Authority be forced to pick sides?​

4. The big payback

​

The WrestleMania main-event hopes of both Daniel Bryan and John Cena were dashed inside the Elimination Chamber thanks to outside interference: Both The Wyatts and Kane bucked the odds and forced their way inside Satan’s Prison, much to the detriment of 14-time World Champion Cena and WWE’s “YES!” man, respectively. Neither Superstar has ever been one to take this sort of injustice lying down, so what’s in store for The Wyatts and The Devil’s Favorite Director of Operations?​

5. Before and after

​

WWE Network officially launches today at 9 AM Eastern, and that means for the first time, the WWE Universe will get to experience the live Raw Pre-Show and Backstage Pass. Tune into WWE Network at 7:30 p.m. ET to get exclusive analysis on the show to come, and tune back to WWE Network after Raw concludes to see what happens when the show ends. And speaking of the show, Raw itself, airs at 8/7 CT live on USA Network!​

Hard to be excited after another ho hum PPV, but things better start picking up tonight. Taker/Bork, Hogan (sure to underwhelm)... Nope, still can't get excited with Boreton/Botchtista on the horizon.

 

[Tumbas' #1 Fan]

eh, I can't wait for this Raw just to see the 50/50 chance of Hogan getting shit on. Am I the only one that thinks the 'Mania crowd might start a "You Sold Out" chant when Hogan comes out?

people seriously underestimate the power of Hogan.

The IWC can stick out its chest and say they hate Hulk, but the fact is most love him.

 

[Lockard 23]

Hogan most definitely is not getting "shit on" lol. And why would they chant "You Sold Out?" They didn't even chant that when he returned in 2002 just a few years after spearheading WCW during their hottest period when they were destroying WWF in the ratings. Why would they care that he spent four years in some fed that hardly anyone watches?

 

[Brad.]

Flair is going to be there apparently, so expect some terrible Evolution angle that gets shat on.

 

[Edvy]

Jesus, WM's main event is going to be an hour long bathroom break :<
On topic: RAW, idk what to say about after seeing the same ol' same ol' with bryan getting screwed over its getting boring and way way way predictable. I'm guessing Cena is feuding with the wyatts from now on. that might be interesting to see what they do with this

The shield breaking up???? Idk possibly i mean there isnt anything left for the shield to dominate they fueded with all the main eventers its most likely there time to split and give Roman his super push.

Thats all I have to say for now atleast...

 

[WarMachine1]

Let's see here.

Hogan's back.

The beast is back

The deadman is back

Am I missing anything?

 

[Tumbas' #1 Fan]
