    Raw%205%20Point%20Bryan.jpg


    WWE’s Extreme holiday has come and gone, but the WWE Universe will feel the reverberations of Extreme Rules 2014 for some time, as Daniel Bryan retained his illustrious WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a brutal battle against Kane, The Shield put a halt to Evolution, The New Face of Fear wore a wide, wicked smile, and a new Intercontinental Champion was crowned.


    1. Halting Evolution (To say they put their bodies on the line at Extreme Rules is an understatement, as The Hounds of Justice pulled out all the stops in a stunning battle against the combined might of Evolution. United as ever, The Shield emerged from the IZOD Center victorious, vanquishing a legendary trio of opponents in a match that saw Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns showcase their wealth of talent — and their willingness to take risks when their reputation is on the line or their toughness is called into question. But with WWE COO Triple H as the figurehead of Evolution, where do these two teams go from here? Surely The Game isn’t yet done with the black-clad trio. Might pay-per-view tensions spill onto Raw?)

    2. Spreading The New Face of Fear (After one of the most haunting victories in WWE history, Bray Wyatt comes to Raw with sights set on … well, the whole world.

    His victory over John Cena in a truly unsettling Steel Cage Match at Extreme Rules may have served only to further spread The Eater of Worlds’ message of fear and loathing, as the disturbing appearance of “Little Johnny” at ringside literally stopped the Cenation leader in his tracks and spun him into the arms of Bray Wyatt — and Sister Abigail. With his sway threatening to encompass more members of the WWE Universe on a weekly basis, what new message might Bray Wyatt have on Raw?)


    3. Bryan extinguishes Kane (He may have gone through hellfire and brimstone to do it, but Daniel Bryan walked out of Extreme Rules with his WWE World Heavyweight Championship in tow. Though he may have extended it last night, when it comes to The Beard, it seems like his is the most vulnerable of title reigns in recent memory. The Authority’s mad-on for the submission specialist is well-known, as Stephanie McMahon herself made an overt attempt to have Bryan sit out his scheduled title match against the Demon Kane at the pay-per-view.

    Now that Extreme Rules has come and gone and Bryan has survived The Devil’s Favorite Demon, what new, hellish roadblocks does The Authority have in store for the fan-favorite WWE World Heavyweight Champion?)


    4. Title-bearer of Bad News (We’ve got some bad news for you, WWE Universe — there’s a new Intercontinental Champion in town. Sunday at Extreme Rules, Bad News Barrett delivered the goods in an all-out brawl against entering champion Big E, as the British grappler reclaimed the illustrious title in a hard-fought championship bout. Now that Bad News is the new gold standard, what does it mean for the rest of the WWE locker room? And who might step up to knock Barrett off his podium?)

    5. Paige ushers in new Divas era (In her first Divas Title defense, Paige defeated the always-intimidating Tamina in a hard-fought match at Extreme Rules. Though her victory over former Divas Champion AJ Lee may have come as a shock to the WWE Universe, the former WWE NXT standout has developed a quick track record inside the WWE ring. Now that she’s proven capable of answering the call under the pressure-packed environment of a pay-per-view, what’s next for the Divas Champion? And, for that matter, what’s next for an embattled Divas division that boasts serious threats from all corners? From AJ to “Total Divas” stars The Bella Twins, Cameron, Naomi and Natalya, Paige has a target painted squarely on her back. Who will step up next to challenge for the butterfly-emblazoned title?)

    Please no Kane vs Bryan Buried Alive Match at Payback.

    I'd rather see a Triple H vs Bryan rematch - they had a great match at WrestleMania, there is a better chance of Bryan being screwed; so I think it would be a bigger draw as well.

    Assuming Batista isn't going to be around; Orton does have his rematch clause still. We've seen Bryan-Orton a million times but I don't think we've seen Bryan get his big victory over Orton. Would prefer it be on RAW than on PPV though because like I said we've seen that match so many times.

    There are so many upcoming heels on the roster; the question is whether to risk putting them into a programme for the title if they aren't going to win.

    Its still there on the network replay anyway.

    Got them some mainstream coverage.

    Needless to say the love-to-be-offended brigade got some satisfaction out of it.

    Hope not. Looking forward to him tonight :D

    Would like to see Bray or Cesaro move towards the title picture tonight.

    I think a heel Sheamus would be best for Bryan. Was Sheamus even the ER card ? Let Shemus interfere in a Bryan match tonight

    They don't want to turn him before the European tour it seems.

    On Sheamus:
    - Many fans near the pre-show panel at Extreme Rules last night noted that Sheamus appeared to doze off during the R-Truth and Xavier Woods vs. Alexander Rusev match. There was a chant started for Sheamus to wake up.

    Makes sense. Give him Orton for the next PPV then

    Payback seems like a match with Batista or the plan B of a Buried Alive match instead.

    Batista wants to leave early due to issues with Creative and pay.

    I predict we get this within the first 5 minutes of the show.

    ^^^ Was just gonna say that, Cena comes out at the start his usual happy, nothing ever happened schtick.......... ****ing hate when he does that.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    WWE United States champion Dean Ambrose will defend his championship in a 20 Man Battle Royal during tonight's Raw broadcast from Albany, NY. The storyline is that The Authority is forcing him into a situation where he's very much against the odds.

    19 on 1 handicap match!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,860 ✭✭✭Ape Lincoln


    I laughed when Ambrose dumped the belt on the ground after his entrance and then kicked it.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    Wonder if Cesaro or Rusev win it based on who they pushed last night.

    Cesaro is gone past the US belt but Kofi hasn't had a random title run in a while.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    not way they'd stick it on Cesaro again, it'd be a big step down.

    would like to see the likes of Luke Harper win it, give him some time to shine as a singles competitor.

    Knowing WWE logic, Big E will win this!

    Adam Rose wins as the Rosebuds keep catching him.

    Or Little Johnny wins after a final 4 of Hornswaggle, El Tornito, Little Johnny and Little Jimmy.

    Wouldn't be shocked to see Bo Dallas win it.

    BO-Lieve.

    PWInsider:
    As of this afternoon, Batista's new final date looks to be the 6/1 Payback PPV.

    The idea of Batista vs. Daniel Bryan for that show has been dropped and WWE is considering several options for Kane vs. Daniel Bryan at that show

    So Paige's next opponent looking at the heels:
    Alica Fox (I think she is a heel this week)
    Layla
    Eva Marie
    Summer Rae
    Tamina (again)
    Rosa Mendes

    Aksana?

    This is exactly why Total Divas is the worst thing to happen to the division. So many are simply not an option to be heel now.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    Meant to add Aksana

    Also SHUT UP NATTIE on the preshow

    El Torito and Hornswoggle should do the post-No Mercy 1999 Raw Hardys-Edge & Christian handshake to a standing ovation.
