Monday Night Raw 29-12-14

Get those cameras ready for a five-second pose or two, because Edge & Christian are in charge this week on Raw! How will this iconic tag team ensure that the final Raw of 2014 reeks of awesomeness? As the WWE Universe anxiously awaits Royal Rumble 2015 in just four weeks.

1. You think you know them? We hope Edge & Christian got new kazoos for Christmas this year, because we’re dying to see these guys perform some totally awesome renditions of Superstar entrance themes. Regardless, the fan-favorite tag team is back, ready to take control of the final Raw of 2014. Will The Ultimate Opportunist and Captain Charisma shake things up on Raw the way they wreaked havoc during the Attitude Era?

2. What will emerge from The Wasteland? This week on Raw, The Ascension will rise. The former NXT Tag Team Champions are poised to hit the ground running as they make their WWE debut, and we’re not sure if their first Raw opponents should be excited or terrified about what lies ahead. No matter what happens when these post-apocalyptic warriors stride down the entrance ramp, the entire roster — especially the tag team division — will be glued to the backstage monitors.

3. How will Ziggler close out his best year ever? No Superstar has picked up more momentum in 2014 than Dolph Ziggler, who accrued three Intercontinental Championships and one of the biggest Survivor Series victories of all time in the latter half of the year. Eager to be perceived as “the man” in WWE and taking on any challenge placed in front of him — including the rule-bending Seth Rollins — Ziggler will look to end the year in grandiose fashion. How will “The Zig Man” steal the spotlight during 2014’s curtain call?

4. Did Jimmy Uso deliver a deal-breaker to The Miz? The Miz has been unrelenting when it comes to schmoozing Jimmy Uso’s wife Naomi with promises of Hollywood fame and Divas Title opportunities. Negotiations might be stalled, though, after Jimmy’s decisive and aggressive victory over the bearer of “The Moneymaker” Friday night on SmackDown. Will the so-called “A-lister” continue his sleazy mind games, or has the owner of “The Miz’s School of Performance” finally been taught a lesson of his own?

5. Where do Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt go from here? We’ve seen them tear each other apart in a Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match. They’ve gone to war in a Boot Camp Match. We’ve even seen them unleash Christmas chaos in a Miracle on 34th Street Fight. Yet Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt still have unfinished business with each other. On SmackDown, The Eater of Worlds interrupted The Lunatic Fringe’s United States Championship Match with Rusev, prohibiting Ambrose from both reclaiming the star-spangled prize and giving The Super Athlete his first true loss in WWE.

It’s cold outside, but Ambrose’s blood is certainly boiling after his most recent altercation with Wyatt. Will these combustible elements erupt this Monday night?

Such a shame Edge had to retire.

Unfortunately due to his spinal stenosis, i would imagine Edge would be a huge no in terms of being layed out by The Ascension.

I hope E&C don't E&C The Ascension. A Ministry of Darkness joke or something along that line. Let them have a big impact on their debut.

Furious-Red

Maybe have a segment where Chrstian cant find Edge but he goes to the ring anyways. We are then shown Edge laying on the floor , Then the Ascensions music hits and they take out Christian?

Moneymaker

Edge could take a few stomps.

Fall of Man to Christian.

Alfred Borden

Is it worth staying up for my first raw in 6 months?

Rock Lesnar

Finally an interesting Raw

J. Marston

Thought it was going to be a phoned in Raw with it being near New Years and all but Edge, Bryan's announcement and some Bad News has convinced me to watch.

The White Feather

The crossroads might be is he is now with Nikki bella instead and doesn't care what Cena thinks?!! :eek::pac:

Then maybe a Hideo/Balor run-in during the Ascension debut!

I might end up regrettting it but I am going to stay up and watch it live too. Havent done it in years

JP Liz V1

Orton is advertised for dark match so he too could return to Raw

Strongbow10

A Brad Maddox Guy

Rock Lesnar

So is anyone worried about what Daniel Bryan is going to say later ? I saw his tweet earlier tonight and the crossroads bit doesn't sound great, but in this business Ive learnt to not take anything at face value.

Rock Lesnar

Cole reckons putin is watching tonight, im sure he is alright

Vince v Putin

If Putin wins, Rusev gets a title shot. If Vince wins, Mother Russia gives back Crimea.

Its win win

He has or will shave the beard

Rock Lesnar

I think if Bryan had something serious to say, he'd have opened the show.

Itssoeasy

Jesus I went overboard so far this christmas. I'm in bits. Might not stay up much longer. I've it recording.

andyman

The way the whole Bryan thing is being promoted, I'd be surprised if he is retiring..

Itssoeasy

Oh good ryback.

Andersonisgod

Ah man Ryback is Ziggler's knight in shining armour.

mrkiscool2

Some pop for Ryback there!

Rock Lesnar

Cena take note, hands go under chin when applying submission hold, ah heres Bill, sorry the Big guy.

IncognitoMan

I can't be the only one who hates ryback. How does he actually get pops?

In fairness against russev a cavity block would get a good pop.

Diabhal Beag

Prefer Ryback to CM Punk tbh

rovert

Waiting for Raw to start massively dragging with intermittent moments of time standing still. You know like normal.

brianregan09
