Official RAW Live in Pittsburgh (09/03)

[Crippler]

Not content with The Undertaker’s silence on The Road to WrestleMania, Bray Wyatt is about to make his boldest statement yet, vowing to bring what appears to be The Undertaker’s urn to Raw and “unleash its spirit.” Will The New Face of Fear finally garner a response from The Deadman, three weeks before The Show of Shows?

As WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar returns to Raw and Wiz Khalifa gets set to perform in his hometown of Pittsburgh, what else awaits on WWE’s flagship show? WWE.com has some ideas.

We’re three weeks away from WrestleMania, and Roman Reigns is as confident as ever that he’ll conquer Brock Lesnar and become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion at The Show of Shows. Yet, after Paul Heyman verbally eviscerated The Big Dog last Monday night, Reigns might be facing some physical punishment this time around. Sources have confirmed that The Beast Incarnate will be appearing live on Raw, emanating from Pittsburgh’s CONSOL Energy Center.

Wait, really? Did Curtis Axel call out United States Champion Rusev on SmackDown? Are we actually going to see Axel take on The Super Athlete on Raw? That’s seemingly entirely up to The Super Athlete, but should Axel somehow defeat Rusev — pulling off one of the biggest upsets in WWE history — we could see the “Better-Than-Perfect” Superstar vie for Rusev’s U.S. Championship at WrestleMania. This would give AxelMania two opportunities to shine on The Grandest Stage of Them All, since Axel is already confirmed for this year’s Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

Will Rusev agree to battle Axel, giving the ambitious and arguably delusional leader of the AxelMania movement a chance to make history?

Last week, sensing that five-time WCW Champion Booker T might be a Sting supporter, WWE COO Triple H mercilessly fired the WWE Hall of Fame announcer, looking on as Booker collected his belongings at ringside and took a painful final walk to the entrance ramp. Of course, The Game later revealed that he was only kidding, so no harm done, right?

In an exclusive interview with WWE.com, Triple H revealed to Michael Cole that his conflict with Sting is all about power, and in the lead-up to WrestleMania, it’s necessary at times to remind everyone — broadcasters and other employees included — who is truly in charge of WWE. How will The Cerebral Assassin demonstrate his power this week? Will it involve settling the differences between Randy Orton and the rest of his Authority associates? Will more WWE employees suffer the COO’s wrath, temporarily or otherwise?

Tune in to Raw at 8/7 C on USA Network, and don’t miss Raw Pre-Show at 7:30 ET, only on WWE Network.​

Axelmania doesn't win....I may start a hashtag about it.

And sounds like Bray wants an Undertaker moneyshot.

While I like the look of a Taker-Bray feud I just hope they don't go down the supernatural root, that is so 90s.

Did I just read that right that HHH was only joking when he said he was firing Booker? Surely they could have come up with something better than that

Wonder is tonight is the night, Orton goes full on rage against the authority mode

 

[Cwalker]

Orton to finally turn tonight? WM is getting close

Remember the days when that would have been a tag match with the main event mania match going up against the tag team.

to further hype and add fuel to the feud
