Raw General Discussion Thread

[Austin Bates]

The Ric Flair and Triple H segment was great. Really looking forward to Triple H's confrontation with Sting at Fastlane.

 

[Sabretooth]

Ok guys we are 24 hours removed from Fastlane and on the final stretch to WrestleMania. We already have two huge matches confirmed for the Show of Shows and a few more may be announced tonight. Brock Lesnar has been confirmed to appear to respond to his WrestleMania challenge in Roman Reigns. Look out for the following points tonight.

Will Randy Orton get his hands on Seth Rollins?

How will John Cena bounce back from his loss to Rusev?

Is Roman Reigns ready to face Brock Lesnar?

How will Triple H’s WrestleMania showdown with Sting affect The Authority?

Will The Undertaker respond to Bray Wyatt’s challenge?

 

[Apoho Creed]

Who we would would win at Fastlane won last night. The ending of the Main Event, Bray Wyatt's appearance and The Sting/Triple H confrontation has me a little pumped on what might happen on Raw tonight.

 

[Sabretooth]

Sorry for the delay, I've been busy all day.


Raw is live from the O2 Arena in London. WWE continues to build to extreme rules.

Skimmed through the show this morning and thought it was pretty lacklustre, although Neville/Ziggler was pretty solid.

I'd like to quickly gripe about the Orton/Uppercats match though. What the hell kind of booking decision was that? Was there honestly NOBODY else back there that they could have sent out to job to Orton in a handicap match? It just completely devalues the entire tag division and once again makes me give zero fucks about it. I've questioned a lot of things they've done of late, but this is without a doubt one of the hands down stupidest things in recent memory and whoever signed off on it needs to take a long vacation.

Commentary selling it as Orton vs. the WWE's best team and then having him win clean may be one of the most backwards things I've ever seen in wrestling, and that's saying a lot.

Well it's Monday again and that can only mean that we are Raw.

Extreme Rules is fast approaching, and Triple H is returning to Raw to restore Authority, six days before WWE's most brutal pay-per-view! In the wake of The Game's earth-shattering announcement regarding the return of "WWE Tough Enough" earlier today, the WWE Universe looks to see what The Game has to say tonight. Plus, what else is in store on this week’s must-see Raw? WWE.com has some ideas.

We learned last week that WWE COO Triple H would be returning to Raw. Earlier today on WWE Network, WWE's COO declared that submissions are now being accepted for possible candidates on WWEToughEnough.com. What else will The Cerebral Assassin have to say on the return of the ground-breaking show when he addressing the WWE Universe tonight?

Additionally, Triple H can’t be happy with the recent tensions between Kane and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. Will the Director of Operations face severe consequences for his actions against “The Future of WWE”?

Roman Reigns might be a powerhouse, but that doesn’t mean he was able to shrug off the beating he withstood at the hands of Big Show last week on Raw, when the giant chokeslammed The Big Dog onto the roof of a taxi cab. Reigns was already reeling from his brutal WrestleMania main event against Brock Lesnar, and The World’s Largest Athlete surely exacerbated whatever lingering injuries he might have been suffering from in the wake of The Show of Shows.


In a WWE.com interview with Michael Cole later in the week, Reigns said he was determined to “bring a big fight to Big Show” in the near future, but that was before Big Show convinced The Authority to schedule a Last Man Standing Match between the two rivals at Extreme Rules. How will Reigns respond to this news on Raw?

After winning a Divas Battle Royal on Raw to earn the right to face Nikki Bella for the Divas Championship at Extreme Rules, Naomi — a longtime ally of The Diva of Tomorrow — launched a calculated sneak attack that resulted in internal injuries for the raven-haired No. 1 contender.

After further evaluation, doctors advised Paige to refrain from competition until further notice. Does this put Paige’s title opportunity in jeopardy? Will Naomi suffer consequences as a result of her actions? We’ll learn more about this caustic situation on Raw.

Being WWE World Heavyweight Champion is one of the most enviable positions on the planet, but we’re not sure we’d want to be in Seth Rollins’ boots right about now. On Raw, after both Rollins and Randy Orton earned the right to select stipulations for their WWE World Heavyweight Title bout at Extreme Rules, The Architect determined that The Viper’s RKO — the most effective tool in his arsenal — would be banned during the contest. That’s all well and good, but Orton went on to decide that the match would be waged inside a steel cage, effectively separating “The Future of WWE” from his Authority associates, namely J&J Security.

Rollins might not be victim of an RKO next Sunday, but there are plenty of ways WWE’s Apex Predator can inflict pain — especially inside a cage. Is Rollins losing sleep over his impending clash with The Viper, or is he devising a way to make the Steel Cage Match stipulation work to his advantage somehow?

Each and every week New Day's heat is growing more and more into X-Pac heat. They suck so hard.

SummerSlam rematch is what I'm talking about. Randy to RKO Reigns this time for the three.

Now that Dean Ambrose has qualified for Payback, Randy Orton seems like the odd man out.
