    What a difference a week makes. Just seven days ago, Daniel Bryan was the people’s pariah after being denied the chance to enter the Royal Rumble Match. Now, thanks to some serendipity, he’s headed into the Elimination Chamber to challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Title. Similarly, The Shield seemed to be coming apart at the seams last week; now, in the face of a new enemy, they’ve cried unity more than ever before. Will Bryan’s momentum — and The Shield’s resolve — hold?


    Main points for this weeks Monday Night Raw

    1. Justice for all (The Shield took its biggest hit ever in the Royal Rumble Match when Roman Reigns — angered by Dean Ambrose’s attempt to eliminate him, which also drew an angry reaction from Seth Rollins — eliminated both of his teammates only to be thrown over the top rope by the winner, Batista. A potential implosion was stopped, or at least delayed, when The Hounds of Justice set their sights on The Wyatt Family after the freaky tro cost The Shield their trip into the Elimination Chamber. With one more faction in WWE left to topple, can the men in black pull themselves together?)

    2. Prime Time no more (Well, we did not see this coming. One of WWE’s tightest tandems, The Prime Time Players, abruptly collapsed on SmackDown when Titus O’Neil blamed Darren Young for a quick loss to “Rybaxel” and promptly stomped his former friend into a stupor. With “The Big Deal” gone solo and D. Young reeling, what’s next for the former partners ?)

    3. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide (The Rhodes Brothers’ bid to reclaim the WWE Tag Team Championships from The New Age Outlaws was abruptly derailed by an enraged Brock Lesnar, but WWE COO Triple H has granted Cody Rhodes & Goldust a Steel Cage championship rematch this Monday on Raw. With nothing to interfere in their match, can The Outlaws prove they do, indeed, still have it? Or will their “Attitudinal” victory at Royal Rumble Kickoff be proved to have been a fluke?)

    4. The most dangerous game (Alberto Del Rio promised for weeks that he’d embarrass Batista in the Royal Rumble Match. It didn’t quite work out that way, and The Essence of Excellence vowed on Monday to ensure The Animal doesn’t even make it to WrestleMania. He got a win over Kofi Kingston to start his campaign off on the right foot, but will Del Rio find his mark and hit Batista where he lives? Or is The Animal truly ready for anything the former WWE and World Heavyweight Champion can throw at him?)

    5. The #YESMovement begins (Daniel Bryan has taken his first official step toward the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by claiming one of the six spots in the Elimination Chamber Match, and the WWE Universe’s legions have firmly placed themselves at his back. With John Cena, Sheamus, Antonio Cesaro, Christian and current champion Randy Orton opposing him, though, the submission specialist’s path to the WrestleMania’s main event against Batista is anything but guaranteed. Can the people’s hero keep his momentum going? Or has the other shoe simply not dropped yet for the former WWE and World Heavyweight Champion?)

    Raw is live from the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska

    Crowd mikes to be turned off and canned fan reactions to be put out I would expect if Punk chants to take over.

    I just want to see the face of the WWE lose it again when the crowd don't chant the way he wants them too.

    I expect Cole to mention this

    I would also love if DB came out in a Seahawks Jersey

    I think it would do serious harm to the case for a Daniel Bryan push if the crowd spent the night cheering for Punk.

    I'm wondering the same. It isnt a city that is talked about a lot. Could be a blessing in disguise for WWE if it's a boring crowd who do what WWE want. The last few weeks havent exactly gone to plan.

    Staple Centre in LA next week though.

    Before it was all snatched away by Scumbags Orton & Triple H


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,888 ✭✭✭Charisteas


    No Punk or Lesnar makes me sad :(

    Nah it'd be a fairly average even slightly pro Cena crowd.

    Probably a good gauge of how they'll view the Punk problem if he gets a big reaction in his absence.

    Hyped for Triple H's put down of the fans


  • Registered Users Posts: 787 ✭✭✭Deadlie


    Cmon Bad News Barrett!
    I mean imagine had he been the #30 entrant at the royal rumble and then they let him announce CM Punk is gone. Insta-heel. And a quality one too. Perfect fodder for the superfaces.

    That would have been weird, seeing as Punk was still in the ring when #30 arrived... :pac:

    Would pop huge if Triple H came out to Cult of Personality to be honest.

    hahah, I was literally just thinking that. I'd be hilarious


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Moneymaker


    And the chants begin.

    I really think they should have addressed the situation right at the start. It's not 1985 anymore and they need to start respecting their fans intelligence.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,106 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Randy did well to shut them up fairly quick.


  • Registered Users Posts: 60,317 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    If they keep the chants up he will snap


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,116 ✭✭✭Professional Griefer


    Decent crowd.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Moneymaker


    What the? HHH is doing the Yes chant?

    Da fuq?


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,106 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Trips is yessing.

    It's not cool anymore.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 767 ✭✭✭SimonQuinlank
