Should be a good one!

Be lovely to see Jake show up on this seeing as how he's been doing so well lately.

GTR63

I'd just like to see Matt Striker get beaten up again, not fussy by who. Ok maybe by JBL or the APA.

Melion

The Rock had better be in a silk shirt!!!

Are we going to see the start of a possible Orton/Sheamus feud in the run-up to WM.
Also if taker is back id expect him to make his enterance during a Punk promo

Unlikely as Sheamus is kinda in a feud with Barrett and the Shield at the moment, I can't see him starting a 3rd feud despite hints of it since before the Royal Rumble.

Billy Gunn tweeted

"Make sure you all check out #oldschoolraw tomorrow it's the return of the NAO so excited."

Could they be having a match?

Wasn't a NAO Vs Rhodes Scholars match at WM hinted at a few weeks back at a house show event?

I'd prefer a Cody Rhodes V Golddust match

It was yeah! That's something I want to see!!

Although cody vs goldust would be great too!

As would I but I think that moment at the Royal Rumble was the closest we'll get to seeing that on a big stage.

I think that's our post-Mania program tbh. I think Orton and Sheamus will team against The Shield, and then Orton costs his team the win, turning him in the process.

I hope.

Any word on Brock tonight?

Furious-Red

Ugh not another Old School Raw with the same superstars that show up :mad:

krudler

red, white and blue ring ropes please kthxbai.

Should be a bit better with Rock and HHH around to be fair.

They'll also have to set up some sort of Mania feud for Punk,which could be interesting.

Still holding out hope for a Steve Blackman appearance!

2nd Row Donkey

NAO versus Rhodes/Scholars.


Finally, I might actually get interested in WM29

ShagNastii

I hope it happens. The Outlaws were always entertaining. Plus I'd love to see Sandow get a decent spot on the card. You just know he would totally ham it up for Mania.

JP Liz V1

I still find it strange seeing HHH without the long hair

Tinie

Compared to last year, I have zero interest in RAW leading up to WM. I forget every monday its on until I see these threads

Maybe this episode will be good.

Lesnar is not scheduled to appear tonight, but will be next week

So we should expect Trips to extend his challenge tonight and Lesnar to confirm next week I reckon.

Does Lesnar being there next week, mean no Rocky next time? They seem to keep those two apart, I suppose they are a pretty big draw on their own.

Lord TSC

So WWE's app is displaying something interesting right now. Spoilers for anyone who don't want to know what's coming up...

Maybe, speaking of 'Taker, I wonder if there's any credibility to this story:

well this didn't take long...

BohsJohnny

Well that was quick.

Yousef

What? They're starting off with this?! Christ on a bike...they havent got a clue anymore...

RobbingBandit

halloween episode of ncis on USA network:P

BohsJohnny

That's it?

RobbingBandit

kind of hope he isn't fighting PUNK, seems stupid really.

Exclamation Marc

Interesting.

PeterNincompoop

That intro, the set, the old school logo and the pyro already make this my fave show of the year...even the black railings are back!

orestes

Did anyone else think

"Ah c'mon, I know it's an old school Raw but opening the show with footage of an old Taker entrance is a bit of a bloody givaway!

Hang on a sec.....

Buh?!"

What's going on?

They blew takers return by having him come out and pose onstage for two seconds....

Now Punk is in the ring...

Why not just interrupt Punk?!

Paul1990

Taker vs Punk confirmed.

Hmmm

Thepoet85

The set is class. Wish it was kept.

willmunny1990

This could of been done much better in fairness.

I guess they want to make it more of "Punk calling out Taker".

Punks the heel so I guess it makes more sense for him to interrupt Taker but seeing has he's not on TV, there's no opportunity.

It was a bit botched and backwards but I guess they had to do something....

It's very rushed.
