The Wyatt Family will be making their WWE TV debut
Vickie Guerrero will undergo a job evaluation
Triple H and Vince McMahon are both being advertised to appear on the show

rovert

Bryan Alvarez says the Vickie evaluation is a take off of TNA Gutcheck. With Trippers, Steph and Vince as judges.

Playlist of all the Wyatt Family videos:

I hope they don't do a swerve debut like they did with Brodus:

Or like give them slop buckets.

Very strange to debut an act before a Pay Per View instead of the night after. Wonder if they have something bigger picture in mind.

GTR63

The Wyatt family will probably squash someone like 3MB or a thrown together jobber team tonite. Although they were making a fuss about them last week so it could be something bigger. The think with MITB is that there just isn't a lot of feuds going on with over a dozen in the 2 matches.

rovert

I'd lol if The Sheild aligns with Vince, Wyatt Family with Stephanie and Triple H on his own beats both at Summerslam.

HHH with the Outlaws and X Pac surely.

And just Pedigree those at the start of the match? Like your thinking.

RobbingBandit

Honestly wouldn't be surprised to see the Wyatt Family attack the Shield, I don't think they will waste them on 3MB, more than 9 months of the McMahon feud build up is gonna be tough to watch, I hope they go with a Survivor Series match with a Vince vs Triple H/Steph 5 on 5 rather than drag it out to Wrestlemania XXX.

Lithium93_

9 months of the McMahon's - One can't handle all that bad acting (Hunter & Stephanie), got seriously high hopes for The Wyatt Family hopefully as someone previously mentioned they won't be a swerve,

Vickie Guerrero i wish you well in your future endeavors

CastorTroy

I remember Teddy's job evaluation. And who are they going to replace her with. I doubt they would with Brad on his own.

Lithium93_

It would be interesting if Shane McMahon came back as RAW gm, then again i think another McMahon on weekly television would be bad

Insect Overlord

They'll probably be on the cusp of firing her, and somebody's music will cut in at the last moment. Like when Vince had Paul E. in the ring last year and Brock came down.

sockmo

Maddox for GM!

gnfnrhead

Has to be the return of People Power.

Lithium93_

I think the crack in CM Punk's & Paul Heyman's friendship will widen further tonight, MAYBE a tease of Brock Lesnar's entrance music to screw with Punk

sockmo

I havn't stayed up to watch Raw in a while.Looking forward to this. Watching sky and NXT should be on by now I think its running later than scheduled, not sure about raw though.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

No work tomorrow and have lost the key to bedroom so have to sleep on the couch would be a shame not to watch

No! No! No!, anyone else besides John Lauranitis

Big Johnny and Easy E were the 2 greatest GMs in my opinion!!

Lithium93_

I'd rather The Rated R Superstar Edge for RAW general manager

We could do with this guy bringing order back to Raw

Mike Adamle was TERRIBLE,

Vickie's climbed a ladder

mrkiscool2

Well Vickie is fcuked, no way is she get a pass grade on the App.

A Rogue Hobo

I reckon the Wyatt Family will appear during Vickie's evaluation, attack Trips or maybe Vince and Vickie will remain where she is. Probably way off though.

Why not? He was VERY good in the role and actually managed to make people hate him. Very few people can do that to the extent he did.

Fire Jerry Lawler, an annoying cretin, he's like the annoying relative who drinks and never leaves you alone and talking nothing but pure diarrhoea.

I just didn't enjoy watching him at all...I know he is a heel and I'm not meant to like him but the likes of heyman,punk or badies in film like joker etc are all enjoyable badies .

People may like him, but i ABSOLUTELY despised him, to me he came across as arrogant & douchey, but hey that's just my opinion of him

Insect Overlord

Cool to see Sheamus use a submission for a change! Has he tried that on TV before?

smellmepower

No money in a wrestler who uses the phrase whatevs.

wretcheddomain

Some people have receding hairlines.

Some people have receding gums.

Hell, some people can even have receding nail beds.

Mark Henry has receding eyes.

sockmo

pisses me off when they have the babyfaces shake hands at the end of the match.

Lithium93_

I expected The Shield vs Brodus Clay & Tensai to be a quick squash match,

brianregan09

Funny they show a clip rvd and eddy killing 1 another for the intercotinental title on raw and then cut to tonnes of funk, shows how far raw has fallen

spiritcrusher

Surprisingly enjoyable match. Y'know for the Wyatt Family I'm starting to think I'd like them to never actually interact with the Shield until next Wrestlemania. Could you imagine if there were somehow enough creative people in WWE to keep them both away from each other with decent storylines til then. The demand for a match would be nuts.

Lithium93_

Oh great........ John Cena,

spiritcrusher

Also, that reporter looking for the Wyatts vignette was f*cking brilliant.

Sirsok

The two matches were both very very good...standard of wrestling has gone up in the past year or so

Angron

What's the third match between MITB contenders? WWE.com is telling me it's Randy Orton vs. CM Punk; Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus and Randy Orton vs. CM Punk.

You're supposed to want him to get his ass kicked. How often does that happen with Punk? Shield? Swagger? Ryback? Hardly ever. The whole point of faces and heels is to want to see the heel get whats coming to him. Big Johnny made that happen. Punk doesnt. Ryback doesnt. Mark Henry doesnt. The Shield doesnt. You're supposed to want them to be beaten up by the face(s) rather than wanting them to win.

Austin completely changed the heel dynamic by being a cool heel. Ever since then, the vast majority try to do the same, or act like a coward. The cowards are just boring while the cool heel's end up being more interesting than the babyfaces (in WWE at least), screwing it up even more.

That was the idea.

Mark Henry should be given a run as WWE Champion before he legitimately retires

That was the idea.

I completely understand that but did you enjoy when cena kicked his ass last year and then big show turned? I didn't?

Like sticking with the batman theme, I always wanted batman to get the upper hand against bane or joker but I still really. Enjoyed watching the badies on the screen....

Big Johnny had (at the risk of sounding like a mark) for me x Pac heat

CSF

Please never let Curtis Axel near a mic again...

Zeb to Wade: "Are you speaking English?"

Loved Fandango popping out of nowhere too. Good segment all 'round, that.

That was my only issue with him. He wasnt up to much in the ring. His ability to make you hate him, combined with virtually any full timer's in ring ability and you'd have a top heel on your hands.

looks like Lance Storm is up to his usual smarkyness on twitter.

I was a huge wrestling fan when I was younger, drifted a way for a bit and my interest has gone up and down at various points since then. Usually I'll record Raw and flick through the spoilers the next morning, see if it's worth watching and even then I'll fast forward most of the show. But, pretty much have stayed up tonight to see the Wyatt family debut. Their promos have been brilliant, and even tonight I've loved their three cut scenes. Genuinely excited for their debut and looking forward to seeing what comes of them.

I dunno, I can't see it being done in a memorable way although I hope to be proved wrong.

CSF

This will surely be the debut slot here?
