WWE STUFF

YOUR CHAMPIONS THIS WEEK
WWE CHAMPION: SETH ROLLINS
US CHAMPION: JOHN CENA
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: PRIME TIME PLAYERS
INCONTINENTAL CHAMPION: RYBACK
DIVAS CHAMPION NIKKI BELLA


- Show opens with a Roddy Piper montage. Everybody wore a Hot Rod shirt. Ten Bell Salute. All the stars were there and also Stardust was there. RIP

- Seth rollins is talking. He's promoting his match with John Cena. We get back from commercial and Seth Rollins is still talking. He's doing an open challenge. His opponent can't be more than 6 feet tall or over 200 lbs. JoJo suggested he face Torito, but instead we got Neville.

- A WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH IS OPENING THE SHOW. If you told me ten years ago that Tyler Black and PAC would be curtain jerking Monday Night Raw....Some back and forth stuff to start off, Neville does a dive to the outside, and then he does another dive. Cut to commercial. We get back and more stuff happens. Neville pinned WWE Champion Seth Rollins in the opening match of Monday Night Raw, but Seth's foot was on the rope. What a heel! Neville goes for a Red Arrow, but Seth rolls out of the way and wins with his move.

- 8-Man Tag Match announced: Lucha Dragons and Los Matadores vs The New Day and The Ascension. let's go big men. PTP are on commentary again. New Day are the only team that gets an entrance. Un Matadore is thrown outside and the New Day mocks him. Sin Cara did a senton to the floor. Kofi won.

- The Three Bella twins are coming out to the ring. Charlotte, Becky Lynch, and Paige come out. Team BAD are backstage watching the match and standing in a way nobody in real life would stand. It was important that I saw this. Becky put Brie in an armbar, but there was a rope break. The Bellas pose on the outside as they cut to commercial. Team BAD is watching the match backstage and standing in a way nobody in reality stands. AGAIN. I'm glad I saw this. Nikki does a spinebuster. This is what the Divas Revolution is all about. Charlotte wins with a Figure. 8 We see Team BAD standing around like nobody in reality watching tv AGAIN. JoJo interviews them. Naomi gave a bad interview.

- Up next is MizTV with Cesaro and Kevin Owens. Miz is saying there would be no MizTV withoug Roddy Piper. Miz says that Ryback should vacate the IC Title. He calls Kevin Owens out to the ring. Kevin Owens said he's a huge fan of the Miz and he owns every piece of Miz merchandise. Owens says that Cesaro is jealous of him. Cesaro's music plays and he walks out wearing a suit. Kevin Owens said that Cesaro will never match him. A brawl broke out. Owens walked away.

- Rusev and Summer Rae are walking backstage.

- Rusev and Summer Rae are walking out to the ring. Mark Henry is Rusev's opponent. Rusev won. Rusev did his awesome celebration.

- A Bray Wyatt promo. He tore up a flower. Sheamus is also there.

- Zack Ryder is in the ring. King Barrett is his opponent. Barrett came out with a mic and called everybody peasants. Barrett won.

- Paul Heyman is out. The Undertaker ruined the title match at Battleground. He called Unertaker a bitch. Brock Lesnar carried the four-thousand pound Hanzo steel steps into the ring. Summerlam, which is four hours, is going to happen and Brock Lesnar and Undertaker will be there.

- Paige vs Naomi. I don't know about this Submission Sorority, but you should probably google them if you want to know more. The Bellas are backstage, watching tv. Naomi did a thing that looked like a surfboard, and Paige kinda rolled off to the side. Naomi is forgetting spots or something. Paige wins with the PTO: the Paige Tap Out, Paige's finisher.

- Up Next: Another tribute to Roddy Piper

- Roddy Piper tribute. An kilt hanging on an empty chair. Music video.

- Ambrose and Reigns are talking. Randy Orton shows up. That's about it.

- Next week on RAW: STEPHEN AMELL!!! Stardust segments!!! Gird your bowels.

- Randy Orton, Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns come out. Sheamus and the Wyatts come out. Remember when Sheamus won Money in the Bank. The New Shield clears the ring. We're rubbing conditioner all over our bodies. Everybody doing spots. Dean gets fired up, gets booted by Harper, Roman dives onto Harper and then gets the hot tag. Sheamus tags in, and gets wailed on by Roman. Roman is on fire. Sheamus get a 2.9 on Roman. Harper does a superkick, Dean does the rebound clothesline right into the Sister Abigail, but is thrown outside. Randy sets up for the RKO, counter into A SPEAR. PAIGE AND STONE COLD ARE TALKING BACKSTAGE AS THE SHOW GOES OFF THE AIR. Technically not a 'Divas watch TV shot, " but close enough for me.







If you want something added to the OP that everybody loves talking about, like KANE, ppv buyrates, WWE distancing themselves from Hogan because of the racism while still treating the segment where X-Pac was in blackface as one of the great moments, WWE's search for a superstar Diva that isn't Lana, a dog dressed as a German soldier, the return of BRAD MADDOX, Scott Steiner's new tattoo, or Kevin Nash, just let me know and I'll add it.

Announced, no, but everything else can at least be closely assumed

Rusev/Dolph (if not a tag with Lana and Summer)
Cesaro/Owens
Wyatts/AmbRoman
At least one divas match
Stardust/either Neville or Arrow
PTP/New Day if not also including Los Matadores and Ascension

Probably something with Barrett too

Thanks. I haven't watched Raw in a while so I'm out of the loop. Sucks to hear that Sting's no longer booked for it though. Are they attempting to build any traditional face/heel dynamic for Brock/Taker or is it face vs face?

That is a really good card but the results are going to frustrate me so, so much.

It's Beast/Deadman. People just want them to beat the gently caress out of each other, and they're not trying to force anything.

it's not really face/heel so much as it is Brock/Taker. Paul Heyman is over there doing his own insane thing

Agreed. It looks stacked. Last PPV had, what, 6 matches (2 of which I think weren't even announced until day of) and still went near the limit. Ending early on a dickshot but still. This one should hit over 3.5 hours easily

I've always been okay with the Cena result, and for hilarity reasons I've become okay with Taker getting his win back. As long as either AmbRoman or Cesaro win or don't have an embarrassing thing happen to them too, it's an alright night in my opinion.

It's face vs face because they recognize they can't get Brock booed, and couldn't get Taker booed even though the first thing he did in his return was an actual dick kick. Sting's interesting because like Dave said, he was told he was going to be there and wrestling, and 3 weeks later he was told he wasn't. So unless Vince changes his mind in another few weeks again, he's not there, but the match looks decent anyways so while we're missing Shield/Sting rafters entrance, we're not missing anything more from the loss.

They're probably just gonna do Wyatts/AmbRoman and Sheamus/Orton separately. I bet the original plan was AmbRoman/Sting v. Wyatts before Rowan got hurt which sucks that he got hurt.

The ONLY reason I hate the Cena win is A) I have no clue who'll take it off him and B) it'll totally undo the elevation of the US Title he's been doing for the last several months.

Roman Reigns is at his best in tag matches where he can just come in and out to do cool stuff without all the garbage in-between.

Submission Sorority also sounds like a porn movie.

On the plus side, the next PPV is Night of Champions, so we'd be guaranteed two Cena matches in one night.

That'd be a fun feud but just like every Cena feud ever it'll be great matches with an infuriatingly predictable trajectory.

I don't think they'll do that part. I honestly don't. They SHOULD, because it'll put whoever wins the US Title off him over much stronger than just a tournament or whatever, but I believe they'll do a tournament.
