Show? Didnt see that coming. He's looked bad to me, in his encounters with Reigns.

Really?
He's looked bad to me, in his encounters with Reigns...

WWE still treats him like he is a legit threat to top tiers.

Minus Lesnar & part timers obviously.

Rollins
Show
Bray
Rusev
Harper

That's probably WWE's view on the Heel breakdown.

Reigns
Cena
(Bryan)
Ziggler
(Sheamus)
Usos
Ryback

For faces. () denote returns from injury

Pretty accurate breakdown.
Man the WWE seems so STALE.

Especially when you realize the #6 & #7 are probably Kane & Mark Henry.

Yeesh. 😛

Looking forward to Edge & Christian tonight. One of my fave tag teams, one of my fave wrestlers.

I also really enjoyed them, it's too bad Christian never got the respect he deserved in the WWE, he was the face of TNA for a period.

I hope we get a Cesaro & Tyson Kidd match.

Kinda a mixed bag Raw

Rusev vs Ziggler was clunky, it's probably just Rusev not really having long matches making him a bit rusty.
Ryback promo was good, not sure if CM Punk damage control but he won the crowd over by the end.
Opening show promo sucked, too long
Nikki vs Nattie was solid but way way too short
Cesaro jobbed out, why? Also face cheating
Swag vs Harper was just not for me, not bad just meh
Usos win the title, Miz looked like a million bucks
Ascension looked awful, hopeful they can salvage them
Show was good on the mic, Reigns vs Rollins was solid but I still hate booking Reigns like an underdog it's dumb. I liked the roll up powerbomb but the Cena style backdrop powerbomb/choke slam he did was ugly.
Daniel Bryan had the MOTN, awesome promo
Rollins trying to kill Edge was cool, Show knocking Cena out was ok with me
Lesnar's appearence felt wasted
Was it me or was WWE kinda shitting on Christian all night?
Wyatt promo was ok, I mark out for a good ambulance match
No Orton was a good call.

5/10 for running a house show during Raw... That's why no Ambrose, Wyatt, Dust bros ect.

Who are you guys picking to win the Rumble? I thought it might be Reigns but now that Bryan is entered, I am not so sure. It sure as hell won't be Ziggler that's for sure.

Reigns though I'm not sure why he is fursine with Show, unless they blow it off on TV

My thoughts on winners in order

Reigns
Orton
Bryan

Ambrose
Ziggler

Now that I think about it, I agree with you but I don't want to see Reigns win at the Rumble. I would rather have everybody else you mentioned as possible winners. I hope Lesnar goes over Cena, and would love to see him face either Bryan, Orton and even Ambrose.

To see anyone of these guys defeat Lesnar at Mania, would in my opinion would be a PPV worth purchasing. Reigns defeating Lesnar, not at all.

Imo I'd most likely see Ziggler win but I don't think it's happening.

I'm not big on Ambrose yet, idk just isn't clicking with me.

What an awful RAW ending.
They treated Edge like crap. lesnar comes out to what, high five? And HHH proves he cant stay off camera for an extended period.
What are we gonna have driving WWE next year thats fresh and new?
Ooh, Daniel Bryan versus the Authority!

I strongly disagree about the Edge thing, he can't do anything physically and his hostage moment was great tv imho.

I Don't mind the authority, especially if we get HHH vs Ziggler at mania.
Granted that hinges on Taker vs Sting happening.

I disagree with the disagreement. Edge could have finagled his way out of that situation, ultimate opportunisting like he used to.
I fully expected the Authority to come back, but thought WWE would at least play it out.
Honestly, is HHH eating up the first 30 minutes of every RAW, and at least another 30 throughout every show, that good for ratings?
Why not just put Cena in a match at WM with a lose and Authority comes back clause against Rollins?
Rollins wins at WM. Rollins brings out a triumphant Authority. Rollins cashes in MiTB. It could have been the heel version of Bryan's WM; Rollins would go over as one of the biggest recent heels in memory.

Honestly I'd take Rollins bullying a near cripple over getting embarrassed by one.

Most (EI all but 2) Raws since the authority left have had 20-30 minute opening segments with multiple GM segments so I don't mind. HHH needs to build up his WM match and its a good time to start.

Ye olde agree to disagree response, then. 👆

Did you not like Bryan vs HHH last year?

Loved it!

And now...John Cena, a retrospective.

2002. The Prototype. Generic, but with potential.

2003. Fate takes a hand. Also, Steph boobs.

2003-2004. A white rapper?!? Word Life.

2005. Fan favorite bad boy. Still thugging, but not as much.

2006. Holy crap...dog tags. Chain Gang Soldier time.

2007. Hustling loyally and respectfully.

2008-2015. Super Cena. The shirts have changed, but the attitude's remained the same.
