You'll know earlier than usual this week as it's being taped in London

CastorTroy

I'm guessing Reigns. Probably in a tag match. Probably teaming with AJ, or will that be next week in a "How will they co-exist" scenario

the groutch

6 Man Tag

Reigns, Barrett & Cesaro Vs League of Chumps

Bounty Hunter

Whatever it is I doubt it's what they had planned last week after Bray's injury so I wouldn't be surprised if they do go the champion / challenger tagging route.

Bray is a big loss for them but I wonder will it lead to them pushing someone else they hadn't planned now esp while HHH is not wrestling post mania, Brock / Taker are gone post mania and Cena, Rollins, Orton are all not back yet

please not Big Show or Kane

More of "The Guy" shtick from Roman...

Any chance we could keep this thread spoiler free for those of us watching it later?

Shane is running Raw again this week, as if that's any surprise.

Hell In A Cell was absolutely pointless..

JP Liz V1

Vaudevillains making their Raw debut in tag tournament

Bounty Hunter

Thing im most interested in is what they do with Anderson & Gallows

they clearly want the fans to at least be aware of the Bullet Club anyway wether they go that way initially or not. They just put this up on their youtube page

Re: Gallows & Anderson, and going to indulge in a bit of Fantasy Booking, they attacked The Usos last week, Styles facing Reigns for the Championship at Payback, they take out Reigns back up, stacking the deck in AJ's favour..

Styles wins the championship, aligns himself with Gallows & Anderson, Styles declares himself now to be "The Guy" and eventually gets Roman over after a well written feud

But that won't happen.

Really, did anything much change? Did Mania impact the "WWE Universe" at all?

Ryder's lost the title he won. Shane is still running Raw. Ambrose is the same as he was and Brock is gone again. Charlotte still the champ. At least The Authority has been MIA since the show. But overall, Mania had zero real lasting impact on the shows moving forward

Nope nothing changed, sure we got a few NXT call ups, appease the smarks and what not, but that's just WWE putting a plaster on a shotgun wound and hoping the plaster will hold everything together, the writing is still terrible, WWE/Vince pushing a guy the fans clearly despise, but insist on it anyways..
Ryder should not have lost the title after Mania, the guy has been treated like **** to state the obvious.. Do we really need another Miz IC Title reign?

Dean Ambrose, you could start a thread on where it's gone wrong for him, definitely won't see Brock again for a few months. Charlotte's only got the title because of Ric sticking his nose in where it shouldn't be, Ric just needs to f*** off at this point.

The only thing that really changed is a face running the show instead of the heels which is kinda refreshing, but the novelty is starting to wear off, if it hasn't already..

Angron

One of my friends is at Raw, they are sending me snapchats of it.

Shane interviewed by Dean on the Ambrose Asylum. Kevin Owens interrupts them.

Annoys me more that they don't even care about wrestling, and are just taunting me >_>

I'll be back on around show start time if anyone's going to chat while watching it.

Jerichoholic

There's a live stream for this but it cuts out after 5 seconds.

Yeah I'll be around as usual, because somehow mediocre pro-wrestling is more important to me than a good night's sleep these days.

I'm just gonna pretend that it's live.

Faugheen

I'll be around for a bit at least.

No, you can be the evil power hungry C.O.O ,

J. Marston

Read the spoilers, won't post anything but one segment just made me roll my eyes and put me off watching.

paconnors

According to sky sports its live. lol

More like "live"

PTH2009

Hopefully I'll be over at the tapings in November

The authority to hire ko to eliminate Shane ?

Toobz

smell a 6 man tag brewing

CastorTroy

Is that Y2J or Solomon Crowe?

martyos121

Fairly weak start to the show.

CastorTroy

So since it's recorded, does that mean Reigns will get a great reaction?

Will get the cm punk pop from chicago with the cm punk chants left in by accident i hope!

I thought the same, but if they were gonna filter crowd noise you'd think they would've drowned out the cheers for Y2J when he was trying to get heat. They always do their best to help out the characters on recorded TV.

Stereomaniac

Sorry I'm late guys I couldn't find my tye dye t-shirt and feather boa to become StereoBody!

Toobz

holy sh*t, turning AJ?

Stereomaniac

Ya know Gino, A.J Styles is a smart guy. He knows he needs to plan for Roman Reigns' cheating.

connemara man

I Like Enzo and Cass

Stereomaniac

I find them to be an even less talented version of the New Age Outlaws at the best of times.

Toobz

oh wow, no edit!

connemara man

did he get a jobber entrance? i looked away

Nah full entrance. God he's reached new levels of awful. Dat slogan

Faugheen

It amazes me that in an era where not many wrestlers can get genuine heel heat, WWE have one right in front of them and they continue to try push him to get him over as a face/tweener.

connemara man

ugh

Stereomaniac

I thought that was kind of cool. Hopefully A.J actually sides with them. He'll still get face pops.

PTH2009

Aj should of done a cheeky smile and joined Anderson and gallows

The shield vs bulletproof anyone ???

Toobz

was at raw in november, fandango was so over..hate the way he gets jobber entrances just because he is so over. Love Corbin though, hope he becomes the new monster heel of the company.

Stereomaniac

Are we actually on another commercial break already? There was literally nothing between this one and the last one except for Roman Reigns walking along and Fandango just dancing.

Mr.Nice Guy

Rusev looks like he lost weight. Getting in shape for the wedding?
