RAW 29-6-2015

Lithium93_

It was almost a foregone conclusion that Brock Lesnar would dismantle Seth Rollins to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion at WWE Battleground. However, The Architect changed many a mind last week on Raw, when he mended fences with his Authority allies and brutalized The Beast Incarnate.

Now that they have successfully transformed the unstoppable Anomaly into an underdog, The Authority's two heavy hitters, Rollins & Kane, will put their combined skills to the test against Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns in the main event of Raw.

1. Is Rollins unstoppable with The Authority back on his side?

2. Should Ryback fear Big Show (and The Miz)?

3. Has Bray Wyatt thrown Roman Reigns off his game?

4. What’s going on between Rusev and Summer Rae?

5. Are Cena’s days as United States Champion numbered?

Nice to see some good fresh match ups in the main event these days and always great to see that upcoming superstar Kane get some much needed exposure in the main event.

Three minutes until RAW, and only 3 replies to the new thread. Looks like one to tape and watch tomorrow!

ricero

Anyone know on average how many would be at a raw show ? Would it be the same attendance as a ppv ?

paconnors

Wonder will Lesner show up?

ricero

Rollins has come on leaps and bounds this year

irish_stevo815

Some lovely product placement there

J. Marston

Trying to push hashtags is sad.

Edit: We're deep in Wrestlecrap territory here, lads.

irish_stevo815

What is going on here? This is just bizarre

ricero

I'll enjoy watching brock or ambrose destroying that car

Joey loves a leather interior

Lord TSC

Just tuned in. Nice car...

And don't forget the watch

Moneymaker

Oh good here comes Big Show to add to an already epic segment.

brianregan09

All thats missing is a fat guy in Hawaiian shir.................Never mind here's Big Show

Moneymaker

Are we REALLY opening Raw in 2015 with Mark Henry vs ****ing Big Show????

I'm out lads.

Lord TSC

Am jabbing the fast forward button and it's not working

J. Marston

That opening segment followed by a Big Show match. It's like they want people to turn off.

ricero

Big show is raw !

Lord TSC

I will never not like Miz.

Stereomaniac

I hope The Miz beats Ryback clean by submission. That's how much I want him to lose the title.

Hopefully he answers the United States Championship Open Challenge, and wins.

Doesn't he have a match with Owens at beast in the east this weekend?

Makes sense to set it up here.

paconnors

Is this the 4th or 5th ad break since the start

Lord TSC

Not actually watched a Paige match in ages, but her flurry there was awesome.

ricero

Jasus that was the longest divas match on raw in years

J. Marston

Shut your hole, John.

Lord TSC

Please Balor. Please please please.

SureYWouldntYa

The start of Raw will prob end up on one of those "Raw's most embarrassing moments" videos, just awful stuff

Yeah. He's challenging Kevin Owens for the NXT Championship on Saturday morning/evening Japanese time. Here's hoping he makes a big impact when it comes.

J. Marston

Wait for it....

There we go.

Lord TSC

Gah.

brianregan09

this would be exciting if we didn't already know Cesaro doesn't stand a chance

Lord TSC

Well, at least we are getting Finn name dropped...

Lord TSC

Dammit, my signal keeps dropping :mad:

Lord TSC

**** me! that makes Cesaro look amazing...

Winning Hand

What a match

ricero

Probaly best result for cesaro

J. Marston

"The most talked about romance in sports entertainment."

Nope, that's me done.

Professional Griefer

That "Lana Backwards" sign :pac:

Stereomaniac

I didn't spot that one. But realistically, why didn't Rusev march out there with a sawn off shotgun?

grames_bond

Such an incredibly Skippable Raw, if it wasn't for the US Title match (which was incredible) it would have been a waste of a few hours!

The main event was pretty well worked but yeah. Paige/Fox was DECENT so it was the best Divas TV match in a while. I thought Summer Rae was gas in her role. I am surprised that a big deal hasn't been made of how hard Ziggler pulled up Lana dress.

PWInsider is saying that Mark Henry is being buried after he messed up in the pod in the Elimination Chamber.

Lol

I didn't bother recording Raw so i'll just listen to Review A Raw off the Fight Network instead

Lord TSC

Some say the show closing beat down is still going on....

Andersonisgod

Somebody needs to teach Summer Rae how to walk like a normal person.

Ziggler could not be more heelish in this feud if he tried. Even his attire and hair scream "boo this man." How could you not feel sympathy for Rusev, injured and betrayed by Lana and now saddled with Summer Rae, that's a sympathetic baby face if ever I saw one.

Moneymaker

Add in the fact he threatened a man on crutches too!

They really haven't a clue what they're doing creatively.

It's infuriating as the in ring product is pretty damn good most of the time. Cesaro and Cena tore the house down.

Lord TSC

I thought the same when Lana was insinuating how Ziggler has a bigger zig-zag. Their promo came across as if they were really horrible. Which is weird, cause "attractive girl breaks free of dominating brute" should be the easiest diva face character to get over...

Reebrock

If Kane doesn't rock up wearing a Hawien shirt next week, well I'll be dammed.
