HidaO-Win: Jun 5, 2013; "And I did it, because I was a man who had exhausted reason and thus turned to magicks"

I saw the idea tossed around and I thought it was a good one that instead of Edge challenging Drew or Roman for the big belt for him to challenge for the Tag Team belts at mania with Christian as one last ride together.

The problem is WWE would have to take the tag belts seriously, have two dangerous heels as tag champs and be willing to feature that prominently at Mania so I guess thats a no go.

Orton and... ? Triple H? That might actually be intriguing.

Emi Sakura is not only a better developer of young talent than WWE is, she is a better developer of talent starting out in their 30s and 40s

And she literally runs her empire out of a former dentist's office located in an alley

DeepDickPizza: Oct 11, 2012; THREE TIME! THREE TIME!

Now that Priest is on RAW using the name Reckoning as his finisher, and Mia Yim made the company admit that COVID exists, what are the chances that she just gets memory holed and eventually sent back to job on NXT?

It took way longer than usual, but they did eventually figure out a way to make Asuka a geek

Next up is forcing her to cut all promos in English

Yeah, his return at the Rumble last year was basically "OH MY GOD EDGE IS BACK, THIS IS INCREDI- :lol:

" as soon as he hit a Spear.

I mean, one that Dunn didn't cut away from anyway.

Y'know it just occurred to me that Wrestlemania is gonna be Drew's first time coming out as champ in front of fans.

I mean.

You can argue that Wrestlemania shouldn't be having fans, but that'll probably be neat.

2/1 Raw Results (full results here):

Drew McIntyre entered to start the show. Edge interrupted as McIntyre was about to speak about the men�s Rumble match. McIntyre called Edge a mentor who looked out for him when they were on the road. He remembered how terrible it was the day that Edge had to retire. Edge thanked him for the kind words but had to be blunt with him. Edge asked, �what the hell is wrong with you?� Edge said he was an immediate threat but McIntyre was showering him with compliments instead of kicking his head off. McIntyre said he wasn�t like a certain opportunist, he was a different kind of champion. Sheamus interrupted. He threatened Edge. McIntyre backed off Sheamus. McIntyre wanted to know what Edge�s decision was (regarding WrestleMania). Edge said he would assess his options. Edge warned McIntyre that he had a huge target on his back. Edge said that no matter who he chooses, he will walk out of Mania as champion. Edge left. McIntyre posed with his belt and turned around into a Brogue Kick by Sheamus.
US Championship: Riddle defeated Bobby Lashley (w/MVP) via DQ (1:40)

Lashley applied the Hurt Lock with Riddle on the apron. The ref tried to stop Lashley but he didn�t break before the five-count so the ref called the DQ (after giving him a few more seconds). I think they said Riddle tapped while he was in the hold but it obviously didn�t count. Officials were still tending to Riddle ringside after a break. Riddle couldn�t remember what happened or who he was facing. They told him it was Lashley and he tried to get up but they stopped him.
Orton cut a promo backstage. He didn�t think it was possible that Edge would return, let alone return in the Rumble at number one and win it. There was a problem with that, though. Orton told the world that Edge would never return and now Edge has made him a liar. They announced Edge vs. Orton tonight.
Xavier Woods (w/Kofi Kingston) defeated Mustafa Ali (w/Retribution) (4:07)

Woods hit a side Russian leg sweep and discus clothesline but T-Bar broke up the cover. The ref yelled at Retribution instead of calling for a DQ. Kingston jumped off T-Bar�s shoulders to wipe out Slapjack with a dive. Ali tried to use the distraction to score a rollup pinfall but Woods countered into a rollup of his own for the win.
MizTV with guest Bad Bunny

Miz mentioned how successful Daniel Bryan was learning under him and he offered Bad Bunny the opportunity to do the same. All they wanted in return was his help getting a recording deal. Miz and Morrison sang in Spanish until Bad Bunny interrupted them. He called them �special� but wasn�t interested in their offer. Miz got angry and told him that he wasn�t talking to Shakira and J-Lo. Miz warned him but Bad Bunny said he was only on MizTV because his friend wanted to be on it too. Damian Priest entered and embraced Bad Bunny before knocking down Miz with a forearm. Morrison bailed to check on Miz as the segment ended.
Damien Priest (w/Bad Bunny) defeated The Miz (w/John Morrison) (4:23)

Miz went for the briefcase but Bad Bunny took it away. Morrison confronted Bad Bunny so he gave him the briefcase. Bad Bunny then clocked Morrison in the face with his microphone. Priest gave Miz the Reckoning for the pinfall win.
Shelton Benjamin & Cedric Alexander defeated Lucha House Party to retain the Raw Tag Team Championships (11:12)
Sarah Schreiber interviewed Charlotte Flair and Asuka. Charlotte felt bad she let her team down. Asuka wanted to speak for herself. She said she was ready but they only lost because of the distraction by Lacy Evans and Ric Flair. Charlotte said the only thing on her mind was winning the titles back. Asuka was happy to hear that but her response also felt like a warning to Charlotte not to mess up again.
Triple threat tag team match: Naomi & Lana defeated Raw Women�s Champion Asuka & Charlotte Flair and Mandy Rose & Dana Brooke (11:07)

Charlotte hit Natural Selection and Ric Flair�s music hit at that exact moment. Ric and Evans entered. Instead of continuing to wrestle, Charlotte acted like a child and tagged in Asuka because she didn�t want to deal with it. Asuka looked confused as Charlotte just walked away. Naomi hit Asuka with the Rear View for the pinfall win. Naomi and Lana will face Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler for the titles.
Caruso interviewed McIntyre. McIntyre said it would be an honour to face Edge at Mania. Regarding Sheamus: McIntyre was emotional in explaining that families fight all the time but this felt different. McIntyre looked at the camera and told Sheamus that if he wants to throw away their 20-year friendship over the title then so be it. McIntyre accepted his challenge.
Jeff Hardy & Carlito defeated Elias & Jaxson Ryker (5:55)

They worked over Hardy until Carlito made the hot tag and ran wild on Ryker. Elias tagged in and used a schoolboy for two. Carlito hit a backstabber and tagged in Hardy who nailed a Swanton Bomb for the pinfall win. (Carlito and Ryker didn�t exactly work well together, but it�s hard to be critical of Carlito for that.)
There was an Edge/Orton video package. They claimed that this would be their last match against each other.
There was a Black History Month video featuring Big E, Titus O�Neil and Montez Ford.
Edge saw Priest in the back and told him that he was impressed by him last night. They shook hands.
Alexa Bliss defeated Nikki Cross (6:43)

Cross began making a comeback but stopped when Bliss� old music played and she transformed into regular Alexa Bliss. Bliss acted like everything was normal and was ready to have a competitive match. Cross wasn�t buying it and attacked her. The Funhouse music played and child-like Bliss was back. Bliss used her own version of Sister Abigail (a DDT) for the pinfall win. This was extremely dumb and bad.

As Bliss began leaving, Orton entered (for his match). They crossed paths on the ramp. Bliss stared at Orton as they passed each other but Orton didn�t look at her.
Edge defeated Randy Orton (16:04)

They had a decent match with a terrible ending. Orton set-up for the RKO when Alexa Bliss suddenly appeared on the top turnbuckle as blood (or something) poured out of her mouth. Edge speared Orton for the pinfall win. Bliss disappeared.
