OH NO!
The Alexa topless segment was there purely because Vince knew lots of viewers would all ragequit after Lashley won the title, and missing out on that is our punishment for not believing 100% in the journey that Vincent Kennedy McMahon wants to take us on.

That seems like a really, really bad way to write Braun out. Can't you just have Brock injure the guy?

Finn's gonna come out as the Demon and then lose anyway, isn't he,.

I like how this match had a spot where Seth Rollins completely no-sold a Doomsday Device and I really hope that was them dogging on Animal for talking poo poo about my girl Becky Lynch.

Vince thinks it’s still 1996, is unaware that the Internet exists outside of the WWE Network, and thinks that the mere hint of forbidden flesh constitutes appointment TV of a water cooler show.

Vince also thinks appointment TV and water cooler shows exist in 2019.

They are probably building Alexa up to be dumb too since the person knocked, went into the room and got to ~2ft away from her without her noticing while she stared at a wall holding her top to her breasts and then acted confused

Can't happen, because a lot of them are injured but...
Tag Team Elimination Chamber where the chambers are War Raiders, Heavy Machinery, Bludgeon Brothers, and also all of New Day.

so the teams for the ec seem mostly easy (sasha/bayley, tamina/nia, riottttt squad members, 2conics, mandy and sonya I guess) but it feels like there's a gap. I don't think they'd put Lita and trish in... I guess you can stick like, naomi and carmella together.

I had heard that Lita and Trish were basically around (sparingly, obviously) until WrestleMania

Outta curiosity, what did you guys think of the reaction when Braun flipped the limo over? Seemed pretty dead to me.

That’s what happens when you build up a guy as being strong enough to literally tip over ambulances by himself, only to then somehow book him to never win the big one.

the new tag titles look rad as heck but it sucks that they say “women” on them. It’s a white strap and a different design than the dude belts so come on.

I hope we get Demon Finn for the rumble, and I really super extra hope we get more Heavy Machinery tomorrow (and all the drat time. keep them on both brands!)

It's going to be the same layout as every other "Brock fights a guy smaller than Roman" match. Brock beats up Finn for 10 straight minutes and the announcers get all quiet and suggest Balor should forfeit to protect his health, but then he makes a comeback where he does all of his signature moves on Brock, who then kicks out of his finisher and Balor dies to one F5.

imo the most perfect way of doing this is to have Balor lose the match but win the Rumble, then come out as the Demon at Mania and win.

I know Seth's probably winning the Rumble, but, I dunno. He feels cooled off to me.

I actually thought Raw was pretty good! Otis segment was strange but hilarious, 4 way match was good and I was legit pretty shocked Finn won as I woulda bet money on it just ending in a giant fuckfest where Braun comes in and kills everyone.

THREE TIME! THREE TIME!
Vince probably just heard about the Toni Storm leaked nudes or whatever and told them to write a rib of it on Raw. When he was alerted that she was not on Raw or Smackdown, he told them to just make it with one of the other blonde girls.

As for Braun not getting as big a pop when he flipped the limo, he was just booked to have his Title match taken away immediately before that. And they've already pulled the football away on him numerous times. Their inability to ever pull the trigger on anyone is finally cooling Braun off. At the end of the summer, Braun and Seth were both red hot. Now they both seem like they don't belong in a Wrestlemania Title match. Great job, Vince!

I'd also attribute the diminished Braun pop to two things: as soon as you get 8 camera angles you know it's a stunt we've already seen 5 times, and acting so meek in front of Vince, only to act out, break something, and then yell at him once he leaves is so childish it's honestly pathetic.

On the one hand, I really want Finn to win. On the other I think it would be hilarious if Vince yet again kept the title on Brock, and then Brock got the poo poo kicked out of him by Fat Dad DC in UFC :allears:
