RAW Go-Home show!
hopefully Raw sends themselves into Mania looking somewhat strong
They need to!
Any predictions?
Seth vs HHH will be confrimed Taker with chokeslam Roman Strowman will be announced for the battle royal Sasha and Bayley win the tag match heels beat them down afterwards
Also no Finn
Still surprised there not using Finn balor at wrestlemania
I think he might show up as a surprise
I would not be surprised honestly if Finn showed up at Mania as a run in for the HHH vs Rollins match
sounds like a standard RAW lol
??? true
so sounds like a either depressing or mixed day cause first Eva is going to be gone soon which okay for me and RAW won’t be as good as hoped just a standard Monday night in WWE for you folks…until next week lol
TV Guide says we’ll get Lesnar/Goldberg in the ring.
See Eva Marie leaving to try to be come an actor good luck with that I think this might be the end of the wwe what are they going to do with out her
???
some spots are opening up on Smackdown, Eva gone and Nikki’s gonna be gone due to her neck soon for a bit so landscape’s open
Hold up! Eva Marie is leaving?! Where was that announced?!
Yes today she wants to be actress
So, it’s official?
I don’t think it’s official yet but it does sound like she all but done in the wwe
Wow. Can’t say I’m broken up about it, but I figured they’d keep her around, even if she doesn’t fit into the Women’s Division.
We have to wait for her contract to expire first
When does it expire?
Idk
I’d wish her luck trying to be the female Rock…but Ronda Rousey’s already got the spot so…Eva’s already failed with that lol
Is it bad that I’m only a tiny bit……….sorry that she’s going? And I mean tiny.
Here we go!
Let’s Go!
Taker taking over
Hi everyone!!! Thank God for another week! Let’s get this Pre-Wrestlemania week poppin’!!!! #TeamBlue baaabbbbyyyyyy!!!!
Howdy
Creepy opening
uhhhh Roman after that opening video package from Taker…run
See Paige and Alberto del Rio or Alberto el patron or whatever the hell is name is are getting married this weekend I give it three months
Lol chill
Okay sorry I will give it six months better LOL
Thank you
Already?
Yes
Ya he announced on instagram that they will get married on Wednesday
It seems like they got engaged just yesterday. Wow.
I know right
Really? I was under the impression that his divorce wasn’t even close to final.
Bayley kicks us off
Women’s tag match kicks us off
women kicking off Raw…I’ve really enjoyed this progress honestly
Same thanks HHH
key man at the end there…HHH not Vince
Love the shirt she has on
Here comes the queen
I won’t front. The cape/cloak/whatever that Charlotte has on is poppin’!!!!!
You mean robe lol
Yeah. That.?
Still say they should’ve had Bayley break Charlotte’s PPV streak at mania
Yeah. Would have enjoyed it more honestly.
Same. It made no sense for her to break it at Fastlane which is why they should have waited and put the title on her at mania
I agree with that should not of even had Charlotte perhaps lose the title in the first place
Agree, they could’ve had Bayley lose by DQ because of Sasha, even though Dana interfered first.
I was wrong about Charlotte I didn’t think she was going to be that good when they called her up from nxt but I will admit I was wrong for the first time in my life LOL
she’s probably the best out of the 4 as a overall performer
Yes
ya and she’s obviously grown to both as a performer…and as a body lol hey any dude with a carrot stick can’t deny that Charlotte is hot as hell just saying lol
hey Brian could you remind me of your twitter account again?
Here comes the boss
Patiently waiting for that sasha heel turn
It’s coming soon. I can feel.
???
It is coming
Mania, she’ll turn heel and feud with Bayley.
I am thinking on the RAW after
give it 7 days
Look here. Nia be talking about high school drama but she be sounding like every mean girl in every high school movie EVER! Bruh! ????
She just a bully and thats cause of WWE Logic
That’s exactly it! Her character is not matching with her wrestling moves and it’s making her seem childish.
Lol true
You think she seems childish? Wow I think she feels exactly like a woman who is proud to be a dominant force who doesn’t care what people think of her and who knows nobody can take her. That’s one of the reasons she’s always calling the other women “girls” because of her size and ability compared to theirs. I love her character.
Don’t get me wrong. She’s a good wrestler. However, her mic game is less than stellar. In fact, she needs a lot of work with timing, punchlines and delivery. The good news is that can be fixed. And that’s what I meant when I said it makes her seem childish. The dynamic is just off for me.
At this time next Monday will Kurt Angel be the new GM of Raw ?
YO
Hey!
What’s up? Welcome!
Howdy
Reminder: Kurt Angle’s WWE 24 special is tonight I believe
tonight is the “Raw after WM” 24 special i thought
I’m not too sure it might be RAW after mania
Just looked it up it will be the raw after mania wwe 24 special tonight
The Kurt interview is already available to watch
Lol really cause they have it set to air after talking smack tomorrow
I could be wrong or it’s a mistake on their part
Long match lol
OK Bayley!
Okay, promo and Women’s tag in first half hour, very nice.
Thank you Nia
okay Nia looking strong heading into Mania that’s cool with me
……That scene didn’t make me mad in the slightest.
That was a nice opening match. Liked to finish to make Bayley look strong as champion, liked Nia reminding everyone she’s the X factor. I love watching Nia wrestle. She uses her size perfectly. Also I feel like this was the first time in a long time that Bayley got good pops.
What? #NewDay
Soooo… New Day handed out the first New Day Pop earlier today. It’s literally just a normal popsicle. How creative
Where did you see that?
Twitter. WWE tweeted it earlier. They rang the bell at the New York Stock Exchange and handed one out
I saw that too it was soo sad i was looking for the ice cream they promised not just a regualr popsicle
none of their products are original. Booty-Os are just a rip off of Lucky Charms
Oh snap! ?
What is your excitement level for Wrestlemania?
VERY high. ALWAYS high! Can’t think of a match that I don’t care about and that includes the Raw Tag Team Title match which includes The Club; an act that I care nothing for personally.
So no celebrity inductee this year
Not needed, the class is solid, so there’s no need to bring in a celebrity.
surprising but hey it’s a nice change up you could say to have no celebrity inductee
Man I wish Rick Rude was still living ):
Sami in the battle royal?
So sad that Sami about to announce he will be in the battle royal at mania
how is that sad? He’s getting a match at WM
He’s in a jobber match, not a 1-1 like he should be.
It’s not a jobber match. Dude still has plenty of WMs left… this battle royal ain’t gonna hurt his career
People the company is high on aren’t in the Battle Royal. It’s the catch all for mid and low carders who wouldn’t be on the card otherwise. More Manias aren’t guaranteed to anyone, the fact that he went from IC title match to Battle Royal in a year for no reason is ridiculous.
Am I the only one that thinks he doesn’t deserve this? Like he deserves a solo match.
you know what I had a cool idea with Zayn in the Battle Royal have it be him and Strowman as the final two and Zayn last eliminates Strowman in fact that could of been Zayn and Strowman’s match for Mania against each other
Look Mommy! An evil leprechaun!!!!
STOPPP
Alicia Foxx on my TV! Life is good!
I just want her to wrestle
I’d rather that too, but I’ll take whatever I can get! She’s a very underrated hand in my opinion. She’s a GREAT seller.
Austin Aries!!!!!
Still got that dead emu jacket
Ikr! That thing is awful.
That looked viscous
So if Sami doesn’t beat KO tonight he will be fired and go to Smackdown
Austin Aires and the others making first wrestlemania appearance must be going out of their minds with excitement
Har har har @ Noam Dar
Neville and Aries on the kickoff show 🙁
WHAT when was this announced
Just now
???
So CW, probably the battle royal. I can live with that.
Please give Alicia Fox something else to do
I love the way Dar says Fox
You like him sounding like a foghorn?
Oop! ????
What was Alicia screaming? “I don’t like your face!!!”????
She was screaming you cheat your a bad person I don’t like you
Oh OK. Thank you.
digging the King Slayer shirt Seth has got
I want that shirt
Austin Aires vs Neville is on the pre show WTF wwe it is probably going to be the best match of the night and its on the pre show unbelievable
Sets the mood for the whole evening.
True. Way to be optimistic
I’m keeping my expectations low. All I want out of Mania: Dean Ambrose to retain, a Shield reunion during the Rollins/H match, a great Taker match, great Women’s matches in both brands.
TL;DR: I don’t want to feel like I spent five hours of my Sunday only to be disappointed.
Same
I had big expectations last year and was horribly disappointed, didn’t watch most of the show. Low expectations, mean less to be disappointed about.
I had low expectations going imto mania last year cause of all the injuries but I still watched cause it’s mania
They should put the battle royal on the pre show know one gives a shit about that
Yeah, but CW is exciting and will get the crowd excited. Battle Royal SHOULD be on the pre-show, maybe the RAW tag matches.
Come on, SOMEBODY has to be on the pre show! Plus, you want a solid match to kick off the night and get the crowd invested. Put trash on the pre-show and you basically handicap the following match with a dead or turned crowd. I know it sounds like I’m making excuses for WWE, but I legitimately think its a good idea.
Know one pays attention to the pre show the fan’s are just trying to get to their seats
Aries vs Neville is on the preshow cause of the concert
So the kickoff is not two hours this year since it starts at 6 and mania starts at 7
That creepy footage again….
“Good boy”? I would have fought him. He would have beat him with the crutch.
Is he talking about John right now? ???
lol
Triple h got better with his Mic skills when he first came into the wwe he was terrible on the Mic
Triple H vs Seth confirmed!
Seth got some weak crutches
Hunter rolled out as fast as he rolled in. That was so funny. ????
Bathroom break
Hope we dont get another tug of war between Goldberg and Brock
0 hype around NXT TakeOver
I guess the main roster is tired of being upstaged by them
but I’m saying there’s only like 3 matches confirmed for NXT TakeOver… at least that I know of. It’s like there’s not a good rivalry going on right now in NXT
There really isn’t. It looks like we will have an 8 man tag at takeover between sanity dillenger strong no way jose and ruby riot
oh great… lol
I know this takeover is weak as hell
Had to make a food run before I ate my shirt, anything interesting happen between Triple H and Rollins?
Ya they cut good promos HHH attacked Seth but seth stood tall at the end
Contract signed, match official. Triple H tried to take out Seth, Rollins hit him with the crutch
all you hear is silence when Jinder’s music hits
Here’s how this will end. Strowman will come out last and eliminate Big Show
It could very well go that way.
Or not.
I spoke too soo
Or not
YOU PSYCHIC
Can we just move Bo over to SD and have him join the Wyatts already????
Strowman, you piece of crap. Get cho bubble butt in the ring!!!!!
Well, if Strowman’s in the battle royal, guess Taker’s good to go with Reigns. Still think Strowman was the backup plan if Taker didn’t think he could go after last week.
You might be right
No real reason for Strowman to keep attacking Roman after Fastlane, other than him being the back up if Taker didn’t think he could do the match. Think last week was the make or break.
The Good Brothers!
If this turns out to be Roman playing head games, I’m gonna laugh.
O_O
How much y’all wanna bet that that’s Roman and not Taker?
Don’t joke like that
It would be perfect!
I’m thinking the same thing. That could be Roman playing games with Taker.
Or not
You’re going to take his word for it?
Now why would you say something like that for? You just like to see the world burn, don’t you?
(:
Do kids still smoke these days?
feels like a 4 hour Raw as does most Raw now a days
Please get rid of Byron
Leave By alone!!!
I legit thought Sheamus turned on Cesaro there.
Stipulation incoming!
Ladder match?
I just saw the aries vs neville graphic and died on the inside a little bit when it said kickoff
well something has to be on the kick-off show
Battle royal and Smackdown tag team title match not crusierweight title match
thought you liked SD… why have the tag match on the pre-show?
Because there’s no real story there. Usos just won the belts last week. UNLESS, they issue an open challenge and either Revival or Hardys show up.
Where is RAW at next week?
Orlando
ah okay. so they’re still continuing to do RAW after Mania in the same city as Mania
Yup no reason to make these people come from all over the world for mania then travel to another state for RAW
very true
Austin, Austin, NEVER do that again.
“NEVILLE GOT NO HIPS”
None. ?????
Al Roker…? Really?
Random lol
very random lol
Oh, why did they have to use rollercoasters?
Cause it’s the ultimate thrill ride.
“Ultimate Thrill Ride” Orlando has multiple theme parks
Or Ultimate Vomit-fest of Misery(I can’t ride coasters, motion sickness)
ohhhhh. I’m not a fan of rollercoasters
well this is one of the last things to really watch about Raw so let’s see what they do here
So, how are they going to kill the last hour if Reigns/Taker is now?
We know that fool. Cole just said it
Waiting for that gong to hit
Here we go!
Let’s do this
Haha! Grave. See what he did there?
Lol
Damn! Really thought they’d have it be Roman. Wow, Taker looks old ;_:
This is huge for Roman’s career
New boxers please! ????
Wow. If this is the last ride for the Deadman, that was the ultimate promo.
Was just thinking that
I thought for sure Taker was going to say to Roman “You would be Buried Alive”
Dang it! I wanted Taker to tombstone Roman
Gabi from the 2015 tough enough just called Rhonda Rousey a p**** for not facing her friend
Sami vs KO must be the main event
???
Lol love the AI reference
Show of hands, who really thinks this is and/or should be Undertaker’s last match?
Ladder match for the tag titles just confrimed
Good grief, why are people so determined to believe that this is likely Taker’s last match?
because it needs to be
It does, but you’ve got people determined and screaming that it won’t be. WWE would promo it to death(like they don’t anyway).
Stacked card for WM
????
Owens vs Zayn, why?
Maybe, and hear me out on this one, this is so that Team Blue can have Sami if he gets fired w/o the hassle of a draft/trade.
The List of Jerhico 2.0
It’s baaaaaaccccckkkkk!!!!! ?????
Who won?
Well, Lesnar/Goldberg’s next, so I’ll take my leave. See y’all tomorrow for the A Show!
Here comes the beast
Oh. Spit him up and chew him out like last time? Cause it kinda seems like Brock had indigestion back then.
Oh Brocky. You tried it.
See y’all tomorrow God willing for the real wrestling show. The A show.
