WHAAAAA!!! Why didn't that fire pyro kill Randy? Freaking immortal!

:lol: at the pyro not going off on one of the ring posts.

This Bliss Fiend shenanigans and Orton puking stuff is horrible.

Styles vs. Orton was mostly good but this Fiend/Bliss vs. Orton stuff is downright terrible. Way too many main events ruined because of that shit.

RAW itself was mostly average overall. It didn't completely suck but nor was it really worth watching if you missed. Only stuff I'd really recommend is the Drew vs. Sheamus match and R-Truth's antics with Strowman backstage.

Only thing tripping me out is how I was talking to my roommate about a month ago WWE should bring Bray back with a Jack in the Box, but I didn't think Alexa would be the one "doing it".

I imagined it more as computer generated looking box with a horror warped version of "Pop goes the weasel"...and every week or time it appeared something would change or light up on the box to indicate a type of countdown till his return.

Like first few times, it's just the box turning it's own handle...next time...a hand slowly comes out gripping the box, week after that, a creepy ass CGI version of Bray's mask comes slooowly peaking from behind it, then BAM! The week the box opens Loud noises and screams and the screeching non stop just mass chaos....then pure blackout of all the lights, and the first light on is at the top of the ramp, only focused on his new mask.

Guess if you want a push or quality screen time in WWE, just have your mom complain on social media first and WWE will listen afterwards.

Smeat I was just coming to post that. Well fucking done Peyton Royce!

Apparently the really odd and terrible promo by Shane where he was wheezing a lot and looked like he completely forgot his lines was actually meant to happen that way.

bet she wishs she left for aew. i can't bealive wwe did not salute jim crocket

I read in a recap that Sheamus said that’s he’s been living in Drew’s shadow for the past 20 years. Is that right? Because that is... not accurate.

You mean 4 time World Champion who won the title 11 years before Drew, won the Rumble 8 years before Drew, former King of the Ring winner, MITB winner, 5 time tag champ Sheamus? Adds up to me!

Those CGI lighting strikes at the start of Lashley's new entrance still look terrible. WWE needs to get rid of it since the rest of his new entrance routine is great.

Also WWE just abruptly announced Lashley's facing Drew at Mania without Drew having to do anything to actually earn it.

lol @ Morrison's hair

you get tired of raw dark is on at the same time

Going to watch Elevation after RAW.

Rather have it be a weekly palate cleanser for my Monday wrestling like how NJPW Strong is for whenever Smackdown has a bad or off night.

So in Sheamus mind, he doesn't care about getting a potential WWE title shot at Mania but wants to face off against Lashley just for the sake of it.

Same for him not being upset at all that Drew got handed a title match and their big match at Fastlane has no bearing on the WWE title match for Mania.

I am baffled as to why if the plan for months has been to have a crowd at Mania they haven't put tickets on sale yet...nothing like last minute

Supposedly its due to them not being sure how many people they can actually have for Mania despite Florida being way more laxed than other states for live events.

Them now wanting more fans for each night also means whatever coronavirus precautionary plans they had in place before had to be completely redone recently.

WWE being shameless at wanting the largest live crowd for a pandemic era show doesn't help either since they probably could have put tickets on sale right after the NFL's Super Bowl game last month had they kept it to the same limit.

omg Shane and Braun are awful together.

OMG this Shane & Braun promo somehow is way worse than the very strange one they had last week.

:lol: R-Truth.

He's been one of the very few bright spots on RAW this past year or so.

:lol: at Asuka randomly interrupting a women's tag match and starting a fight with Shayna at ringside.

Way to make the tag match completely meaningless and uninteresting to watch dumbass RAW creative.

This first hour has been a mess so far.

Why not do AJ vs Braun w/ Omos at ringside....why is Braun/Shane a thing...I can't think of a less appealing WM feud.

Even though New Day's gear is supposed to resemble Sub Zero and Scorpion's colors from Mortal Kombat, Kofi looks more like he's a member of the Hurt Business instead since they use very similar colors.

:lol: at WWE really doing a title change right before a PPV show.

The amount of times they've done that just to lazily setup a rematch at the PPV a few days later is baffling.

Tag match itself was pretty good though.

AJ & Omos vs. New Day at WrestleMania for the RAW Tag belts sounds a bit interesting but mainly because of that being Omos first match on the main roster.

:lol: at Kofi bringing up the point that Styles & Omos are not an actual tag team but still accepted their challenge.

:lol: at R-Truth trying to sneak attack Bad Bunny to get his 24/7 title back.

:lol: at Bad Bunny just giving back the 24/7 title to Truth.

Lame way to get around the problem of Bunny holding the belt and WWE not wanting him to suffer any sort of loss before Mania.

3 good workers and 1 green guy, that should help omos.

That's a good first match for Omos for real. Those 3 can easily carry him and he can learn a whole lot just from watching them work. I like the idea. He's obviously still super green but given his look and the role he's played so far he needs to be protected from looking too bad and this is the best way to do it honestly.

So far Damian Priests call up has been the best handled in a while. He's getting all kinds of screen time and even though he's with Bad Bunny they aren't being booked as a pure joke act.

Whelp there was the actual setup for Miz & Morrison vs. Priest & Bad Bunny at Mania.

Miz went from mostly jobbing and looking like a big goof these past 2 weeks to now being in a high profile match at Mania on the flip of a switch.

The real sink or swim moment for him is going to happen once Bunny leaves shortly after Mania.

WWE's done this type of routine way too much in the past with anointing their next big star for the latino market only to pull the rug out from under them once Vince and/or Creative gets bored.

Do agree that his call-up has been handled the best in recent times even if most of the stuff he's been doing hasn't really been that interesting.

:lol: at Shane managing to beat up Braun and giving him the green slime treatment.

How is any of this shit helping Braun at all?

that will be fun to clean up

I think Damian has an honest chance at having McMahon actually invest in him as the next big latino star. He has that size and look that Vince likes. The last few guys before him that had a chance at the spot have been smaller and more agile and Vince almost always shies away from guys like that at some point. You know he loves big, tall, sweaty ripped dudes.

This Shane/Braun shit is incredibly stupid

lol wtf was that. Ridiculous.

i still want to see shane vs jeff hardy

I've been a fairly consistent Braun mark for awhile now. When he was built as a monster I was into it hard. He always just came across as legit threatening to me. When he isn't being pushed I never get it. Even if you don't put the title on him he should always be a top level threat just because of his persona and the fact that he is a genetic freak.

This garbage with Shane is making me lose all of my love for Braun. This is sad. It's making him look terrible and ruining any credibility he had. It's boring too because these promos are dog shite so far. Some of the worst in recent memory. Shane has never been this bad at promoing and Braun is better off when he doesn't talk much and just yells and makes threats. I have no idea why they are doing this and whoever is responsible should be sent to the end of the unemployment line.

Yes. That would be a much better feud for Shane and the spotfest match they would end up having would probably be super entertaining with them trying to one up each other.
