1/25 Raw Discussion Thread: GOD'S BACK ON HIS THRONE!

[Sabretooth]

Wyatt family to cost Brock lesnar the match leading to a Wyatt/lesnar match at WrestleMania. That's what's happening.

Bork/Roman interactions

You can already see the wheels turning in their heads as they realize it can only be one else of them at Fastlane. Throw in the Beast Incarnate and you have anarchy. This is going to be a phenomenal road to WrestleMania.

Lesnar/Reigns 2.........and Ambrose

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Can't wait for Fastlane!

Well it was nice being here with you boys tonight. Missed this talking with y'all during Raw. Hopefully more people can show up next week, but hell if not. You two are chill as hell anyway.

What a damn good Raw, a great way for WWE to start 2016 and a phenomenal discussion with the Punks.

It was lovely seeing @Blazy Blaze tonight. You made this top notch fun. Please come back every week. @CM Jericho it was a pleasure as always.

Thanks to everyone who joined in for Raw and the Royal Rumble.

 

[Sabretooth]

God bless both of you. Good night.

Excellent Raw. Best in a long time.

Rock killed, obviously...but that light have been the most on fire I've seen him in years. A 20+ minute long segment(even for the Rock) and I wanted more?!?

Add in the New Day and it was bananas.

I, like most of you, felt it was going to be Dean vs Roman at Fastlane...adding Brock just hyped it up even more.

We all know the Wyatt's are going to screw Him over there leading to Brock vs the Wyatt's at WM.

But who wins the ME? I'm guessing Ambrose with a turn.

All in all I like the way this is all going...as usual the WEE really steps it up after Rumble leading to WM.

Show was good until the ending. Why in the blue hell would you just put Roman Reigns into another match for the title when you could have booked it without him? Yeah, they're really trying to keep the title away from the guy. : For that matter, how the hell did Brock get put into the match when he wasn't even there? So fucking stupid and while I realize it's supposed to be about suspension of disbelief, that was all pretty hard to swallow at the end of a good show.

Also, this has been said by others but the WWE have once again really fucked up their booking of Reigns. If you want people to cheer the guy, why the fuck would you put him in a match with Ambrose and Lesnar, basically guaranteeing that he's the only one that'll be booed until the Wyatt's come out to ruin the match? Makes absolutely ZERO sense.

^I was thinking the same thing about Reigns. I would love to see Dean win the triple threat and take on HHH at Mania. I see Lesnar being screwed by the Wyatt Family as well, and then destroying Bray at Mania.

New Day vs The Rock and Usos in a six man tag anyone?

 

[Austin Bates]

Reigns is back to bad reaction with Ambrose hanging around. Maybe the plan is Triple H vs Ambrose at WrestleMania with them being the final two at Rumble.

They gotta give Roman his rematch at some point.

Having him In a match with Dean and Brock is a decent ME for the next PPV.

If y'all are right and Dean wins, than even better.

Really build up a Dean Vs Roman after WM if Trips actually puts Dean over.

To be honest with you, I thought it was clear that their decision was basically at their own whim. No guidelines were set as to how one would "earn" a spot in the main event. The reason why they're giving Reigns another chance after successfully screwing him out of the title is simple: they want to completely break him down. The only way to do that is to take away the one thing that keeps him grounded: his support system. If they can successfully divide the brotherhood between Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose by dangling that WrestleMania carrot, Reigns will be a fool for slaughter for Triple H in Dallas.

You add in the Beast to give the brothers a common goal in the match, making it that much more painful when they have to turn their attentions on each other. It doesn't hurt that Lesnar might murder them both and make the Authority money in the process. If Ambrose and Reigns are out of the picture, Triple H has it easy until Dallas. Of course, he would then have to deal with Suplex City, but the Game has been there before.

WWE has no idea how to get Roman Reigns over at this point. Bringing out AJ Styles in third derailed him for the rest of the night. I honestly think they should turn him heel and try to get him over in a sadistic, dominate your favorite babyfaces type of way. If he kills Ambrose at one PPV and then Styles at another and so forth, the Universe might give him the heat he so desperately needs. Instead, they'll turn the babyface that is actually over.

They gotta give Roman his rematch at some point.

This is actually a sneaky way of avoiding having to do the rematch right away. He forces Reigns to earn a match that is his already, while testing his friendship with Dean Ambrose and his pain threshold in Suplex City.

I can't see Ambrose winning the main event spot at WrestleMania as the story has been Reigns and Triple H since Triple H got Seth Rollins to betray the brotherhood over a year ago. Which is why it might be the final straw when Triple H gets Dean Ambrose to "sell in." I think after or during the match Ambrose will turn on his friend and be by the Authority's side on the road to WrestleMania. The money match is here is definitely Triple H and Roman Reigns and it'll be all the more real if Reigns has to go it alone.

Nah, that doesn't make any sense to me at all, particularly considering Vince McMahon's comments about how he "used up" Roman's father in meaningless, bottom of the card matches. If they really wanted to break him down, they'd force him to start at the bottom again and constantly screw him even there until he reaches his breaking point and quits. Giving him a free pass into a match for a chance to main event 'Mania for the title they just screwed him out of is the complete opposite.
