Five-Point Review:

What a difference a week makes. Just seven days ago, Daniel Bryan was the people’s pariah after being denied the chance to enter the Royal Rumble Match. Now, thanks to some serendipity, he’s headed into the Elimination Chamber to challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Title. Similarly, The Shield seemed to be coming apart at the seams last week; now, in the face of a new enemy, they’ve cried unity more than ever before. Will Bryan’s momentum — and The Shield’s resolve — hold? WWE.com previews this week’s Raw for some hints.​

1.Justice for all

​

The Shield took its biggest hit ever in the Royal Rumble Match when Roman Reigns — angered by Dean Ambrose’s attempt to eliminate him, which also drew an angry reaction from Seth Rollins — eliminated both of his teammates only to be thrown over the top rope by the winner, Batista. A potential implosion was stopped, or at least delayed, when The Hounds of Justice set their sights on The Wyatt Family after the freaky tro cost The Shield their trip into the Elimination Chamber. With one more faction in WWE left to topple, can the men in black pull themselves together?​

2.Prime Time no more

​

Well, we did not see this coming. One of WWE’s tightest tandems, The Prime Time Players, abruptly collapsed on SmackDown when Titus O’Neil blamed Darren Young for a quick loss to “Rybaxel” and promptly stomped his former friend into a stupor. With “The Big Deal” gone solo and D. Young reeling, what’s next for the former partners ?​

3.Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

​

The Rhodes Brothers’ bid to reclaim the WWE Tag Team Championships from The New Age Outlaws was abruptly derailed by an enraged Brock Lesnar, but WWE COO Triple H has granted Cody Rhodes & Goldust a Steel Cage championship rematch this Monday on Raw. With nothing to interfere in their match, can The Outlaws prove they do, indeed, still have it? Or will their “Attitudinal” victory at Royal Rumble Kickoff be proved to have been a fluke?​

4.The most dangerous game

​

Alberto Del Rio promised for weeks that he’d embarrass Batista in the Royal Rumble Match. It didn’t quite work out that way, and The Essence of Excellence vowed on Monday to ensure The Animal doesn’t even make it to WrestleMania. He got a win over Kofi Kingston to start his campaign off on the right foot, but will Del Rio find his mark and hit Batista where he lives? Or is The Animal truly ready for anything the former WWE and World Heavyweight Champion can throw at him?​

5.The #YESMovement begins

​

Daniel Bryan has taken his first official step toward the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by claiming one of the six spots in the Elimination Chamber Match, and the WWE Universe’s legions have firmly placed themselves at his back. With John Cena, Sheamus, Antonio Cesaro, Christian and current champion Randy Orton opposing him, though, the submission specialist’s path to the WrestleMania’s main event against Batista is anything but guaranteed. Can the people’s hero keep his momentum going? Or has the other shoe simply not dropped yet for the former WWE and World Heavyweight Champion? Find out this Monday at 8/7 CT when Monday Night Raw airs live on USA Network.​

Interested to see how they address the Punk issue tbh. They'll probably be selling his chokeslam by Kane. Hopefully, there's lots of chants for him.

Am I seeing this correctly, they're actually pushing the PTP break up........:mog:

No its correct. Titus is getting a push according to rumours knocking around. No legit sources yet its all speculation but thats supposedly the plan.

WWE's production team is well aware that there might be CM Punk chants at tonight's RAW from Omaha but they expect it to be more of a problem when they get closer to the Northeast part of the country and actually in Chicago. They don't see Omaha as a hotbed of "internet fans." Source: PWInsider

I think it's interesting how WWE underestimates their fans and I truly hope this crowd tonight proves them wrong.

The third act with the Rhodes Brothers vs New Age Outlaws can't wait to see this Steel Cage match with the teams.I have a feeling we see Cody Rhodes do a Moonsault if not on, one of the Outlaws maybe one with both standing? As I look at the competitors in the Chamber 4 face and 2 heels woah.This is going to be great seeing the faces tear each other apart, as the heels stand back and fight when they want to.

I've been so happy to hear murmurs of a Titus push, he's found his way back into my top favorite 3 from #6

I'm mad that PTP never won any tag titles. I would have loved to see them have a tag title reign back when they had AW. Punk probably won't be mentioned.

 

[Nick]

Considering it's in Nebraska, they shouldn't have to worry about Punk chants. I don't even think they have Internet there yet

I live right next to Nebraska and whenever I cross into Nebraska, my phone stops working. Coincidence?

 

[Toto]

[Rogue]

[ShaRpY HaRdY]
