Raw 14/3/11 *Spoilers*

jmolloy

Right folks it's the big one on the road to wrestlemania. The appearance of well respected author Snooki

Only way this isn't going to suck is if they give Zack Ryder some TV time with her. He's from Jersey it's a natural route to go down. Woo woo woo you know it

JP Liz V1

Will The Rock bring it via satellite

parker kent

Snooki WILL get Raw some outside attention on sites like TMZ, Perez Hilton's blog etc. As long as it is kept to a minimum, it'll be alright.

JP Liz V1

This could be Sheamus's last night on Raw also if he dont beat Bryan for the US Title and if Vickie loses to Trish she wont be on Raw either (I can see Vickie winning thanks to Laycool)

Furious-Red

Maybe we are gonna see a swap with Ziggler to Raw and Sheamus to SD

The Raw GM has already hired Ziggler

makes sense sheamus doesn't really have many obvious storylines on raw, needs to refresh the character

1 of 2 things will happen imo.

He leaves Raw as a result of his match and then trades places with Ziggler to head to the blue brand. Maybe he could get on the mania card this way with Drew as 1 team challenging for the tag titles.

Or its a disputed finish and leads to a US title match at Mania vs Danielson with maybe Morrison or someone else added also.

Snooki meanwhile will be most likely involved in a segment with her guido for the night Santino and might have a confrontation with Tamina as a result imo. Expect some fistpumping or reference to GTL (gym, tan and Laundry).

now off to watch Jersey shore (yes i know), I feel stupider as I watch it but I'ts car crash like in its addictivity and yep it will bring in a different audience to Raw as said above with the TMZ type audience interested in her.

Would be hopefully of an appearance from the Rock after the via satelite jibe last week and now with the Miz to confront also but I do fear we might not see him again on Raw till the post mania show.

Worried for our Sheamy What if he loses?

He'll be on Smackdown jobbing to the Pig Show even before wrestlemania starts.If he was taking on anyone but Bryan i'd be sure he's losing.Vince just hates Bryan doing little petty things that derail his momentum.

Xinkai

Only way that I can see this match finishing is via DQ, or Sheamus winning.

Either way it ends up as a WM match, DQ Rematch or Bryan cashing in his Rematch.

Also Snooki & Ryder VS Nikki Bella & *Insert Heel Here*

jaykhunter

i think Rock's gotta make a live appearance since Cena really called him on it last week. They're really holding off on an in-ring confrontation, probably won't happen til the week of mania.

Cianan2

I really hope Sheamus wins the belt... I don't watch Smackdown and I frickin love Sheamus! It'd be a pity...

I know we're still three days away from Raw, but one would expect WWE to have started promoting any Rock appearance next week on their website or tonights Smackdown, especially because last weeks Raw ended with two promo's cut against him.

Your right.

But WWE doing this **** pisses me off. They might get a few thousand casual viewers but if they focused on consistent booking where feuds mattered more people who used to watch wrestling would get back into it.

Anyway, that not directed at you parker kent, its just something I have been thinking about.

He what now? seriously?

I know there were some weak moments for him like Sheamus beating him up a few months back or Miz two weeks ago but in the main he has been well looked after.

Like:
After he was released he was brought back in style at Summerslam, in a position you would normally expect a big star to get. Bryan getting that spot showed WWE (Therefore Vince) had a liking for the guy.

Then he feuded with the Miz (A guy Vince likes) and consistently beat him and became US Champion.

Then he was moved into an inter brand Rivalry coming out on top against the Intercontinental champion.

Even after his Miz feud and WWE weren't sure what feud to put him in he was nearly always on RAW and was put with the Bellas (Another pair of Vince's rumoured Favourites) before getting an on screen Girlfriend!

I think Kong is debuting after Mania

Just a heads up that due to Daylight Savings Time coming up in the States this weekend, WWE Monday Night Raw is now being listed as starting at 1:00 a.m. in the UK as opposed to the usual 2:00 a.m. start time.

Colilfc

Don't forget Mason Ryan beating Randy Orton to be in Punk's corner at Wrestlemania.

Probably setting up Laycool v Trish and probably Kelly for Mania.

Nattie deserves a mania payday, as do LayCool. Doesn't Eve still have the butterfly belt though?

"That thing is famous? Why??"
"I DON'T KNOW!"

Exclamation Marc

John Cena tweet;

"CeNation. Huge raw tonight. @Sn00ki gets raw! What will the rock do!? Miz = Dauwsh. enjoy"

The Rock tweet;

"Team Bring It - today is "Dominate Pie Day" (or strudel pending your gender or preference..)..nothin' like warm pie though.."

One would think the Rock will have to make some appearance before Mania as the VT's every fortnight will start to lose effect...

Exclamation Marc

Well the Rock definitely won't be on Raw tonight...

"I won't be live on RAW.. BUT, John Cena and I had a much needed heart to heart talk this weekend at my home. U will see it tonight on RAW..."

jaykhunter

I guess they're just trying to keep Rock's live appearances to a minimum, sure he's only done one. That's what happens when you're not building to a match

So I can look forward to Rock bringing it via satellite, a video of him at home cutting a promo on a cardboard cut-out of John Cena then tearing it.

I sound unimpressed now but I'm sure it'll be a killer promo

Exclamation Marc

Well

"The Rock"

is scheduled to appear on Raw the night after Mania according to the venue itself.....

Could be a sign of something post Mania.....although it could be a goodbye, but I'd hope and assume its the former

tbh I think that'll affect the buyrate

(for people that were buying to see Rock's in-ring stuff) if they know we're getting the conclusion/fallout the next night on RAW....

That is an excellent point. I'm sure a lot of people assume that Mania is the

final farewell for The Rock

and if they see what the next night has, they might be less inclined to spend so much on the PPV...

TheBantam

Why is it on an hour early? Time zones?

starviewadams

Few boo's for Rocky there

starviewadams

Haha no gang signs!

Mr.Nice Guy

This is like Hollywood Rock persona. I like it.

Headshot

starviewadams

Headshot

Liam O

wasn't really impressed with that tbh, some decent jokes but overall not great promo

TheBantam

Lmao at Michael cole in a box

Mr.Nice Guy

LMAO at Cole in the protective box. Reminded me of the Father Ted episode when Jack was in one.

Liam O

Cole is going to be brilliant yet again tonight I see

Super-Rush

That done absolutely nothing for me.

What the hell was the music all about?

Was Rock glowing?

How Soon Is Now

Liked it very much so still better then anything miz or cena s done and rock didnt even have to turn up.

GTR63

LOL at Cole in the Glass booth.Enjoyed Rock spitting at Cena's shirt.Not as much as the time he Spat in Hogans face that was quality.

Worlds better than "The Final Knockout" no matter what you think of how good it was.

I loved the "do you know why you're not as good as the Rock"

"It's because I'm not talented..."

"Yes, its because you're not that talented."

Brilliance.

stiffler123

And that my friend was Cena getting absolutely owned! The music was great too.

Degag

LOL at Cole in the box.... kind defeats the purpose of it though with no roof!

cian68

I hope when they meet live they keep it serious because the comedy has run it's course

Matt986

Aah. Missed most of The Rocks promo. Thought I was recording Raw only to notice about 8mins in that there was no red dot on my sky box.

Will Raw be repeated? Can't seem to find it in the listings.
