Surprised Jeff won't be involved with Matt, but possibly for the best.
Agreed. Matt is somehow helping Bray be relevant again. Let's not mess with it.Quote:

WOW, they spoiled Samoa Joe's return.
I'll try to forget I saw it. As always... card subject to change.Quote:

Jeff as a solo act tends to be crazy over. He’s got retard charisma.Quote:

The way it's been going... I'd actually think it's Bayley. She's the stale one of the two. Kinda all "feel bad for me, I'm the innocent one. everybody be my friend" but in an annoying way. Some parallels to Mickie's obsessed fan thing when she came in against Trish. I don't know if it'll be tonight. But when it happens, I'm definitely guessing Bayley"Quote:

This feud has been so much fun. It's one of the big reasons the RAW women's division has been the best part of WWE this year.
Damn Paige officially retiring. Hopefully she gets to pull a Daniel Bryan down the road.
Well there you have it. It's all over.
All things considered: Paige had a good run that could've been legendary had she not had a dreadful 2016-17. (Which I should remind you was part fault on Del Rio)
Agreed. Paige vs either Asuka or Charlotte would tear the house down.
This is what happens when we get a properly built slow burn story behind two people.Quote:

She could just continue her career as a manager. Like Sherri Martel. Lord knows WWE could use a few of those right now.
I wonder what happens with Mandy and Sonya now. I'm guessing this will end Absolution.
Also I really feel bad for Paige, she's so young and you can tell she truly loves wrestling.
Dang I feel bad for Paige. I really wish she didn't have to retire.
God DAMN Paige sounds broken up here.
Damn that sucks hard. We've had it all tonight so far. Debuts. Returns. Emotional retirements. And we still have half a show to go.
I'm guessing they end up putting Sonya on SD, get her away from Ronda who's the real MMA badass woman, and build her up to be a top heel in their women's division.
Are we finally going to get Elias in a proper storyline? Or is he just going to drift from random segment to random segment on Raw?
Catchy tune.
OH MY GOD
LASHLEY IS HERE! Elias is gonna die.
Holy shit. Elias about to die.
Elias also plays the crowd fiddle.
THIS I can get behind.
Hooooo shit yo!
The only negative is there's ALOT of people that have no clue who Lashley is.
I'll be damned.
YES, LASHLEY!
What the hell is wrong with Bobbys eyebrows? They look burnt on.
That and Cole having to do his Oh My shtick.Quote:

I figure I need to preface this that it's totally a joke.... but... I just want to know if any white superstars are going to debut tonight?
Oh shiiit Kurt.
Kurt with a TNA joke!!!!!!!! That was savage AF.
That my friends, was the burn of the year.
TNA got mentioned for the first time ever in WWE!
TNA is dead, so I guess WWE can finally acknowledge it.
TNA is hiring? I better start eating right.
Holy shit, that TNA jab.
BIG BOBARINO
RIP
This has been head and shoulders above the Raw after Mania last year.
That was mean Kurt....but it was also really funny. :lmao:
Heerrrrreeeeeeeeee comes AoP
AOP!
Welp RIP Heath Slater and Rhyno.
I remember back in WrestleZone that there was that one guy who was a real mark for Rezar, to the level that he wanted to see him become WWE champion.
I bet he's so happy that his boy finally made it to RAW.
Lots of debuts. I bet the last hour drags ass.
In a way, this kind of bugs me. They could have used some of these surprises to make Wrestlemania a little sweeter.
Wait they're ditching Ellering? Dumb move.
If one of them can talk... why the hell not.Quote:

Maybe, maybe not. Could just be a ploy to show that they are hard to control.Quote:

AOP needs a mouthpiece as their promo skills have been limited to screaming loudly into the mic and/or most of their promos being in their native tongues, which I absolutely despise.
In regards to Slater though, the man is a treasure. He's top tier when it comes to preliminary talent.
I highly doubt Ellering wants to work a main roster schedule.Quote:

I don't hate Roman... but "I Don't Even Like Times New Roman" might be the best sign I've ever seen.
This isn't my yard.
That "Boo This Man" sign gave me a laugh.
It's not even his weird side part of the house where the sun doesn't hit and all the moss grows.Quote:

So Joe couldn't be Strowman's partner but they gave the spot to some referee's brat and then had Strowman relinquish the titles...
That was a god damn fantastic promo.
This has been a great Raw so far.
Brock apparently was a huge fan of working with Joe.Quote:

At first glance, I thought that said "AOP is getting them titties." I lol'dQuote:

So is AOP not in this tag team title thing? I'm confused.
And Bray take your workshop apron off.
AoP's match wasn't part of the tournament. Bray and Hardy will fight Revival, probably win, and fight The Bar at the PPV.Quote:

I like how one of the news articles outright said that Rousey's match was the best that night.
I'll say it: Bray Wyatt's feud and team with Matt Hardy saved his career.
Ain't a lie either. It was undoubtedly the most entertaining. The IC Title match was the best wrestling match IMO but Ronda was the most entertaining.Quote:

I'll be curious to see what they do with the loser of this match, assuming one actullay wins.
Anyone else not care about the 6-man tag that appears to be the main event? Something has to go down during it.
My guess is that Finn or Seth turns heel.Quote:
