WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins claimed he no longer needed The Authority to fight his battles for him, and at Money in the Bank, The Architect proved his self-confidence wasn’t misplaced. Now, having turned back Dean Ambrose once again, “The Future of WWE” looks toward Monday Night Raw — as does newly minted Money in the Bank contract holder Sheamus. Will The Celtic Warrior strike against Rollins, one night after securing his golden opportunity?

Plus, with acclaimed rapper MGK performing on Raw in his hometown of Cleveland, what else is in store on Monday night

1. When will The Celtic Warrior cash in?

2. What is The Architect building toward?

3. Does a Spear await Bray Wyatt?

4. Is Cena beaten despite his victory?

5. Is R-Truth truly a ‘king’?

I fecking love Sheamus holding the briefcase. Great stuff.

Lithium93_ · 15-06-2015 2:17pm

The fickle nature of the IWC :pac:

So everyone loved Sheamus when he came back, now they don't, is that what happened? Interesting.

I like Sheamus to a degree. He has decent matches but he's not a top level guy imo.

Literally anyone else in the match would have been a better choice.

I didn't, i sighed with frustration when he came back.

Stereomaniac · 15-06-2015 3:22pm

Well I guess he's getting the desired reaction from you, in that case Lithium. He is a heel, sure.

ERG89 · 15-06-2015 3:22pm

Another tedious, random, i'm bored before it gets going Bray Wyatt feud awaits. To drain the life out of me

It's not even that he's doing his job as a heel that makes me hate him, whenever i see him on the television either promo or match i skip or mute

Sheamus just annoys me, he's to me what Big Show is to Omackerel

No I think he was a stale character before his injury but everyone was thinking a heel turn would change things but to me he's been still been as stale as ever

Mr.Nice Guy · 15-06-2015 4:24pm

I've enjoyed Sheamus since his return. I think his promos have been pretty good and he carries himself well.

I did find having him win the briefcase strange though since he's been pretty much presented as a mid-card guy the last while. Reigns would have been a better choice storyline-wise imo.

Rock Lesnar · 15-06-2015 7:17pm

Agreed, i like him, maybe its cos hes irish, and would love to see him succeed, again probably the irish thing, but aside from that, there is nothing he does in the ring or on the mic, that grabs my attention long enough to watch him

briany · 15-06-2015 7:52pm

After the disappointment of Saturday, I'll take an Irish win, even if it's a scripted one. Hopefully they'll give Sheamus a bit of runway and allow him to expand on his character. Or they could have Brock return and take the briefcase. Well, we'll see what happens.

JP Liz V1 · 15-06-2015 8:18pm

Is Lesnar and Heyman back tonight?

Spoiler tagged just in case.

Brock Lesnar is expected to return to WWE TV with Paul Heyman tonight.

Agent Coulson · 16-06-2015 1:05am

Hopefully a few of the matches tonight will have a good old "Dusty Finish"

Mr.Nice Guy · 16-06-2015 1:06am

The quality of the writing and the quality of the wrestling always fluctuates in WWE over the years but man, they have always been bloody brilliant at these video packages.

J. Marston · 16-06-2015 1:13am

Yeah, a crowd isn't going to react to screenshots.

martyos121 · 16-06-2015 1:18am

That was a quality heel promo from Rollins. Reminded me of Edge.

Mr.Nice Guy · 16-06-2015 1:19am

Might be a Sheamus cash-in tease coming.

Strongbow10 · 16-06-2015 1:19am

Good Crowd tonight

Mr.Nice Guy · 16-06-2015 1:22am

Seems like Rollins vs HHH is on the cards, but it would be tough to have it set for Summerslam you would think.

I am thoroughly looking forward to him making the World Championship go stale.

martyos121 · 16-06-2015 1:28am

Pretty obvious Brock vs. Rollins is all set for Battleground now. As punishment for what he said.

Stereomaniac · 16-06-2015 1:35am

I wouldn't mind seeing the two of them go. I thought his music would hit as Ambrose sat there.

brianregan09 · 16-06-2015 1:42am

Orton and Sheamus......again....**** off...just **** off

Stereomaniac · 16-06-2015 1:57am

Hopefully Sheamus will go over though. He needs to look dominant while he has the briefcase.

J. Marston · 16-06-2015 2:04am

Crowd aren't booing this. Truth hurts.

Lithium93_ · 16-06-2015 2:05am

Kevin Owens hitting the nail on the head about John Cena

brianregan09 · 16-06-2015 2:05am

Ziggler vs Owens !! yes !

Strongbow10 · 16-06-2015 2:08am

Good Stuff from Kevin Owens, liked the bit about not needing Cena to endorse him.

Cena always does that annoying schtick where he tries to piggyback on the guys who the crowd root for

Stereomaniac · 16-06-2015 2:18am

I would've liked it Dolph Ziggler just lay in the timekeeper's area while Charles Robinson counted to 10. It could be a good little device for Kevin Owens to have, knockin lads out ringside.

tinpib · 16-06-2015 2:21am

Thought Owens was genuinely knocked out there from that kick from Ziggler.

Lithium93_ · 16-06-2015 2:23am

Brock Lesnar would have been proud of that German Suplex Kevin Owens delivered to Dolph.

briany · 16-06-2015 2:24am

Ad break frequency has felt like it's been taking the proverbial tonight.

brianregan09 · 16-06-2015 2:24am

Delighted to see Owens continue to pick up victories especially clean ones , Great to see a new dominant heel

Stereomaniac · 16-06-2015 2:45am

Hopefully they don't screw up the whole thing with him now. I'd rather he just left Cena be now.

brianregan09 · 16-06-2015 3:09am

I tapped out after Owens.....had it on mute while watching the sony presser at E3 , I did see the Wyatt thing what the hell was he yammering on about now , I seen him with a pic of Roman and his sprog

Trying to make it personal are we

Furious-Red · 16-06-2015 3:10am

Wonder will we see a NXT diva help out paige?

Stereomaniac · 16-06-2015 3:19am

They might as well bring up Charlotte at this stage if they're going to introduce anyone I think.

BMMachine · 16-06-2015 3:27am

I think I actually hate Machine Gun Kelly. I have no idea who he is but by god I hate him

BMMachine · 16-06-2015 3:28am

oh good, a heel crippled him

paconnors · 16-06-2015 3:30am

At least he got a soft landing!!!

Stereomaniac · 16-06-2015 3:33am

#ThankYouOwens

BMMachine · 16-06-2015 3:34am

Kevin Owens will win the Royal Rumble

Mr.Nice Guy · 16-06-2015 3:37am

I found Owens's earlier promo on Cena grating. He won me over though by taking out THE MOST ANNOYING MAN IN THE WORLD.

Seriously, was I supposed to feel sympathy for that guy? He came off as the biggest heel on the show. No, on earth actually.

Mr.Nice Guy · 16-06-2015 4:13am

Nice to see Brock back.

Moneymaker · 16-06-2015 8:36am

Rollin's acting really was tremendous. Frozen in fear, couldn't look Brock in the eye.

Look of a man that know's he's about to die :pac:

Lord TSC · 16-06-2015 8:53am

The Good
Kevin Owens is pure money. His promo about Cena was brilliant, though probably solidified him as a face for many. And the attack on MCG was great too.

Match with Ziggler was great too.

Brock's return, and Rollin's reactions, was great. And I quite like how they handled HHH bringing him back. They'll have to give us a reason to doubt Brock though; right now, it just looks like Brock will murder Rollins in a straight up match. But thrilled to have a proper Face run from him

Feel Ambrose's character came across well tonight; I believe that the title is his life. His motivations work, which doesn't always happen in WWE.

The Bad
So last night, I wrote about Sheamus...

Lord TSC wrote: »

There's only so many times he can fight Ziggler and Orton (especially when there's never anything at stake) before he grows stale, and that time passed weeks ago. I think it's the booking thats an issue, more than the character.

So to see his first feud as Mr MitB be against Orton.....

:rolleyes:

Likewise, Bray's stories are nearly identical nowadays, except they tippex over the name of his opponent each week; cuts promos on mystery person, attacks person at PPV, more videos, loses PPV match and repeat. So of course the crowd stop caring.

Divas division is a mess.
