You know, I really wasn't all that interested in this and was going to give it a miss...but Cyndi Lauper appearing has my interest. So I guess I'll be around, at least until she shows up.

More news on tonight's show....

As first reported by WWE's Breaking News alert service, John Laurinaitis will deliver a farewell address to the WWE Universe live tonight on Raw SuperShow. What will the fired former Raw and SmackDown General Manager have to say?

I hope this is the opening segment.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Five minutes until we find out what happens after #PeoplePower.

 

[Sabretooth]

So Randy Orton is still in the opening segment.

So Randy Orton is still in the opening segment.

Why not? It's not like he no longer works for them.

 

[NovaRoad]

The Micker!

 

[Fuji Vice]

Whoa! Foley to start us off? That's alright with me.

 

[Sabretooth]

Mick is wearing a suit. I guess this means he's the new GM

 

[Castiel]

Mick is wearing a suit. I guess this means he's the new GM

That's some logic.

Someone hit me up with a stream! I don't want to miss Mick!

What a shock. Laurinaitis still gets theme music. Can't WWE ever come up with little things to represent a big storyline. If he's fired why does he get music

 

[NovaRoad]

Wow, that crowd is HOT!

 

[Sabretooth]

Oh Mick your such a kidder

Are you really nitpicking the product that much that you're complaining about him getting theme music?

Wow.

 

[Sabretooth]

It would have made more sense to use Big Show and Tensai but nope.
