    The fallout from the Royal Rumble PPV.

    – How will Roman Reigns react to losing the WWE Title?

    – What’s next for Sami Zayn and AJ Styles?

    – Build for the Fastlane PPV starts on this show.

    The dark match that is being advertised: Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose vs. Sheamus & Kevin Owens.

    Superstars who are advertised to appear at the taping include Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Kane, Big Show, Bray Wyatt and many more.

    Is it too much to hopefully build on last night & run with it?

    Will Sami and AJ stay on? And will they be given mic time or matches?

    Or will they be left off in favour of the Roman Reigns show?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,237 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Reigns: "I want my rematch......tonight."

    Crowd: "Yay!"

    HHH/Vince/Steph: "You'll get your rematch........at Fastlane."

    Crowd: "Boo!"


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Or Triple H could shoot him down and say ''You had your chance, time to give someone else a shot''

    But yeah, the situation in the previous is exactly how it'll pan out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,522 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    I'd say we're looking at a tournament which will finish at Fastlane to determine the number one contender at Mania. It's boring and predictable so I'd say it's pretty much a lock.

    And Roman will win it of course.

    tbh I actually wouldnt mind that as it avoids the main event of Wrestlemania being HHH vs Reigns and maybe we get something we wont to see (yeah not likely)

    However more likely is something like Brock vs Reigns at fastlane for the no.1 contendership, the Wyatts interfere to set up Bray vs Brock and Reigns win to set up HHH vs Reigns.

    atleast an undecard of Owens, Ambrose, AJ Styles, Sami Zayn etc could be good

    Lesnar vs. Wyatt needs to happen at Fastlane and not Mania. Wyatt has absolutely zero credibility now since he's lost every big match he's ever had, ano I can't buy him even in the same ring as Brock, let alone going over him.

    He needs to have that feud finished at Fastlane, then force his way into the main event at Mania one way or another. The difference between Triple H vs. Reigns and a triple threat with Brock involved in huge, and I could genuinely get excited about that. Triple threat main events are not traditional but I'd take them every single time over a one-on-one.

    So as for Raw tonight, I hope they build up Lesnar vs. Wyatt for Fastlane and maybe Triple H vs. Reigns as well so we can see Roman get screwed again and Lesnar annihilating both of them to set up the Mania main event.




    Of course none of this will happen though, but what do ye think?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,393 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Be kinda funny if they kept teasing the Styles Clash for another few weeks until Fastlane or something.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    I want to see a new Kliq/Evolution/DX behind Triple H.

    Basically some of his NXT guys as his backup.

    What if it this is the exact purpose The Bullet Club were brought in for? A wild shot at best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,484 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    Nah they've got the rubbish League of Nations already in that role , Let the Balor Club or whatever there going to be called to get over on there own

    It's about 6 months too late for the Stardust gimmick to end. It should have happened when he was getting agitated by people chanting Cody.

    Now arguably one of the most talented wrestlers in the game is just an after-thought.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,139 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Surly this will be triple h last world title run.

    Imagine if aj styles is doing a promo tonight and Samoa Joe comes out and challenges him.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,296 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    If they go with Owens vs Zayn and AJ vs Joe for WM that would be unreal , once both feuds get a decent build up (which is slim)

    They could have AJ come out and just as he is about to talk Joe's music hits (kinda like when Taker returned a few years ago and HHH challenged him to a match at WM)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,873 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    It'd be fun to watch them build AJ v Joe without mentioning TNA.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,159 ✭✭✭mrkiscool2


    WWE twitter teasing a surprise return tonight. I'm thinking most likely Taker or (and this is extremely wishful thinking) Bryan!


  • Site Banned Posts: 1,765 ✭✭✭Pugzilla


    Possibly the Rock, since he's in town at the moment and has a house nearby.

    As an aside, Brock and Heyman aren't scheduled for the show.

    Cody Rhodes ???

    Wud love it was taker and sting comes out and challenges him for a match at mania. Maybe add Kane and do a triple threat so sting won't have much to do


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,296 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Could it be a swerve and the return is HHH?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,237 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston

    And he'll come out to this music...



    He's going to roll back the years and dominate for the next decade!

    Haha that would be so trollish to use that music


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,032 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    It's going to be Goldberg Gillberg


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,522 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Has to be CM Punk.
























    :pac:

    I would love for it be DB so much...or Angle??? Its probaby Reigns returning from his beating last night. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,606 ✭✭✭irish_stevo815


    I have to admit, HHH looks great with that belt.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 12,822 Mod ✭✭✭✭riffmongous


    10 minutes and HHH hasn't even started yet..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,689 ✭✭✭bur


    Gotten to the stage now even the McMahons are getting 'go away heat'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,237 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Ambrose vs Reigns for Fastlane then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,949 ✭✭✭A Primal Nut


    One of the worst opening segments ever. Horrible to listen to and no pay-off. We get it, they're heels. Geez.

    Was gonna stay up but after that segment I'm switching off. The last thing I need to watch is another show where the McMahons evaluate everyone with no payoff.

    Main event at Fast Lane will probably be a elimination chamber match. Don't think they'll have Ambrose vs. Reigns in a singles match(if I'm not mistaken they haven't fought each other yet in one) but if it does happen hopefully Reigns cheats to win. Think he needs to do a Rock and turn heel and earn the crowds respect before becoming the main baby face in the company.

    Didnt they fight for the belt not too long ago?

    I don't think so, Rollins and Ambrose fought for the title alright.

    Edit: You're right, they fought for it at Survivor Series after Rollins injury


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,023 ✭✭✭seandotcomm


    Wish AJ was against literally anyone else on the roster except Jericho.
    Had enough of him last night

    I think this Social Outcasts group has potential, just as long as they get as much time on the mic as New Day. Plenty of charisma there.

    Jericho has the largest head i've ever seen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,522 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    A crowd chanting "this is awesome" for a fcuking rest hold is what's wrong with wrestling.

    Michael Cole: "Do you think it was a bit overwhelming for AJ Styles to debut at the Rumble"?

    This the same AJ Styles who has fought Shinsuke Nakamura in the Tokyo Dome at WrestleKingdom a couple of weeks ago.

    And JBL constantly going on about how AJ Styles has fought all over the world but is still unproven whereas Jericho is proven.

    So we've established AJ Styles was signed for the sole purpose of putting WWE over all other wrestling. Great! Midcard here he comes.

    Jericho is winning this I'm sure.

    Well Styles won with a roll-up great. He's got midcard written all over him.

    The commentary in that match was one of the most pathetic, petty things I've seen in WWE since the invasion.
