WHY did they have Rollins vs Reigns 6 days before the PPV? is Smackdown main event going to be Jericho vs Orton?

Also, I'm kind of antsy and sad that Bray Wyatt doesn't have a match on Sunday.

Once Cena beats Lesnar Cena will go to the void that the Wyatt's cut their promos in and triple AA all of them.

You can mute the commentary and not miss anything important after the first time they make a joke about not being able to tell which Ziggler is which, because they basically just keep repeating that for the entire rest of the match.

It'd be nice if Ambrose rose above the binary face/heel dynamic and ended up in 'nutjob' territory, kind of like Austin or Loose Cannon Pillman.

I'd enjoy watching some three way matches from now to the Rumble between the three Shield dudes. There's already a bit of flimsy reasoning there: Dean can be mad that Reigns went back on his promise to leave Rollins to him, so now they all fight.

I haven't seen Raw yet but I'm assuming that Ambrose just runs in and beats the poo poo out of Rollins on Sunday so they wanted Reigns to have a clean win before the DQ finish at the PPV.

I will only tune in on sunday for Cena/Brock since there is no other match which would really interest me atm.

I can only hope that they will surprise us, maybe make Cena look strong all match long and then lose due to Heyman shenanigans. Although that would also be terrible, since it would make "the beast :3:" look weak.

They really maneuvered themselves into a corner here. Brock is not a fighting champ who will show up for every Raw and those house shows. On the other hand he is the only guy with the necessary looks and background to be considered a notch above the rest. If this becomes his 2nd loss then I really don't understand what they are trying to do here.

I'm trying to think via the big picture, Brock holding the title to Mania and then dropping it to Reigns could be the big defining moment that could establish Reigns as the next guy. An alternative to that would be Cena holding the title to Mania and doing a passing of the torch with Reigns, could work but that would mean spending Brock on Cena.

The third option I see that could tie into Rollins losing on RAW is the standard MitB booking and that Rollins' is cashing in on Sunday (most likely on Cena). Booking mentality that he could lose clean to Reigns twice in the space of a week, but that won't matter since he works away that night with the gold. If that happens you've got both Cena/Ambrose to feud with Rollins.

I dunno. I mean Cena is 37 and in killer shape, the man is obviously a genetic freak who can still be the top dog of the company for a few more years. Brock is also 37 and currently looks far better than when he came back to WWE.

Cena is falling apart health wise and has been for years. He is always wrestling while injured. He probably has a herniated disc or something that he's fighting through.

If Cena wins on Sunday then I'm gonna be disappointed. Cenaas champ is so stale.

From reading recent Raw results and feedback it appears that current WWE is worse than 1995. In ring is probably better, but the booking is more illogical.

See, this is why I sincerely care more about the Divas now than anything the guys are doing. God helps us if, at any point in the next year, we have to sit through Cena/Orton MMXVI. And I don't know how I will react—or if I'll be able to react at all, given the absolute apathy it will generate—when Cena overtakes Flair's belt record, which in all likelihood will be sometime in the next 12 months.

gently caress that Raw, gently caress the ham-fisted nature of Reigns' push, gently caress where all this is going unless they uncharacteristically have Lesnar squash Cena for a second time.

Oh shut the gently caress up. Seriously a guy insinuating Reigns (not even a black guy) is a big dumb gorilla means he's a racist? Even if he was in fact a black guy, it wouldn't be racist in the least. Meatheads are called big dumb gorillas all the time.

The segment was dumb though.

It would be astoundingly racist if Reigns was black. As it was, it was just a stupid and pointless segment.

I strongly disagree given the context of the segment (but could see the outcry), but I also strongly agree it was a pointless segment that ultimately hurt Rollins. Losing clean did not help either.
