Well... that was depressing.

Kofi Kingston was denied by Vince McMahon and beaten by The Bar. Kevin Owens was unable to unseat Daniel Bryan, even with Mustafa Ali in tow. Shane McMahon turned on The Miz after failing to recapture tag team gold silver. Oh, and Samoa Joe still sits atop the midcard mountain on Tuesday night's. At least AJ Styles hit Randy Orton with that Phenomenal Forearm! Tonight is about building up the blue brand's half of the WrestleMania card. Will we finally see Kofi Kingston get that one-on-one spot versus Bryan? Indeed, will we learn why Vince McMahon holds such a grudge against the former Jamaican? Will we thicken the rivalries of Miz/Shane and Orton/AJ? And will we learn who what where and when the rest of the roster will be doing come April 7th?

Only time will tell.

It's nice to have Shane heel again, but it's not the same as the young, entitled brat.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

WM is going to be 15 hours

[BestSportsEntertainer]

I really like the new Shane

I hope Aleister's still standing there when we come back from the break.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

Aliester needs a tan.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

I'm getting worried that Kofi isn't going to be in the world title match

New Day showing a little edge. Usos promo. Lots to like in those two minutes.

[smarkmouth]

Really hoping Usos vs Hardys in a ladder match. To think Usos only had their first WrestleMania match last year and it was like 6 minutes. They've earned a little showcase, in my eyes.

Words I never want to hear/read ever again.

[Spidey]

Dayum Randy

[smarkmouth]

Randy Orton namedrops Dixie Carter, much to the delight of Dixie Carter.

[Spidey]

Dayum AJ

[#AbsoluteUnit]

Dixie Carter 2019 WWE Hall of Fame headliner right there.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

This is 100% better than Raw. I don't know I bother watching on Monday nights.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

^ I've been saying the same thing for quite some time as well

[Spidey]

*Cost Mandy to lose last Sunday*

*Going up against a big fan favorite*


Me: C'mon Sonya...give me some of them points...

[smarkmouth]

Going to be honest, wasn't expecting AJ vs Randy to interest me like that.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

Sonya > Mandy

[smarkmouth]

That spear though.

[Spidey]

Fire & Ice had a terrific showing in the Chamber. Let's split em.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

RKO vs AJ should be a good match, can see a 450 turning into an RKO for the finish.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Happy to see Joe finally strutting around with a title.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Corey is just slaying Saxton tonight.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Vince will give Kofi a shot at the Andre the Giant Memorial match.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

We're getting a multi-man ladder match for the title and Joe just lost and Cena probably isn't coming back.

*Sigh*

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Ali was great at Fastlane.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

If they are going to sneak a 205 Live guy and make them bigger deals they should use Buddy Murphy and Drew Gulak next.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

The champion... won? Yeah I'm not buying that.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Vince looks well rested and not half as ragged he was awhile ago.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

"The WWE Championship match is a triple threat match. That match is right now."

Yeah I know Vince is a heel and supposed to be unfair and all that, but how could this mean anything else?

[Spidey]

There will not be pancakes.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

That's the most accurate thing Vince has ever said.

[Spidey]

And now we've come full circle

[BestSportsEntertainer]

I didn't expect them to go that route.

[Spidey]

I dig it.

Now believe it or not, this show is going to mainly be about the McMahons. It’s a Vince and Shane night in this case, with the former being here to address Kofi Kingston and the latter to explain why he attacked the Miz. Maybe that’s why this year’s Wrestlemania build isn’t exactly setting the world on fire. Let’s get to it.
