Lesner resigning

Meh same old same old, will only turn up for the big 4 and retain each time

Tbh what can they do with him, face turn, away from Heymen, put him in a tag team with another big guy ??

Hope they keep him away from reigns after the Greatest royal rumble

Rock Lesnar

More matches between Lesnar and Reigns, Delightful

They didn’t say how long he resigned for. He may have only signed a 30 day deal.

I have a feeling he’s losing it in the Middle East and off back to the UFC with him.

I think at this stage, as others have already said, they’ll probably keep the title on him to surpass Punk’s 434 day reign. Vince is exactly the type of person to be so petty, sure he did the same thing having Nikki surpass AJ Lee’s reign and she’s only Punk’s wife who never wronged Vince personally (that we know of).

I misread it as resign. "Re-sign" means sign again while "resign" means to leave a job.

The hyphen makes a world of difference..

Agent Coulson

So I wonder will he drop it to Lashley when he starts training for the UFC nad goes off for his fights there.



The UFC ban is still in place for 6 months.

Pretty crazy in terms of kayfabe. Roman got the ****e battered out of him last night and gets another shot. Crazy.

I hope the Raw crowd tonight tear him apart.

Not just this match. Brock has beaten him multiple times in the last few years (iirc, Reigns ate the pin at summerslam too), and Reigns has kayfabe been horrendous. Iirc his PPv record is dreadful.

Another title shot?

To quote Brock himself to Roman in July 2017, "You Don't Deserve ****"

PTH2009

Have to hand it to the raw crew

There doing a tour of South Africa from the 18th-21st April and then back to the US for raw on the 23rd April and then off too Saudi Arabia for the ppv. Start of may they go on the Euro tour

Pinkman

This seems like the least hyped raw after mania in a long time. Are we really supposed to be excited at the prospect of Bobby Lashley possibly returning? Who next? Jack Swagger? Alberto Del Rio?

There are usually returns of legit stars.

PTH2009

Lashley was on the road to been a major star during his 2004-2008 run and had a great look and decent In the ring. He even represented Donald Trump at mania 20 and had a rivilary with Vince and Shane McMahon but I think he got injured and released shortly after

What they do with him in 2018 ??

Mania 23 actually...

Feud with Lesnar? Having him beat Brock would give them a top star but is Lashley really good enough? Cant say I followed his post wwe career so perhaps he improved.

They could at least organise The Rock to appear. It's been years since we've seen him. I get he's the biggest movie star on the planet but you'd think he'd free up a couple of hours in his busy schedule.

I really don't think it's THAT easy.

Did they do Brock vs Rock since Lesners return ?

It is each time Raw is in Miami and he's there filming Ballers or each time it's in LA.

I suppose he's busy promoting Rampage. He seemed to be able to at least show up each Mania since 2011 but has stopped the last few.

Rock Vs Brock is still the biggest match they have. Rock Vs a heel Roman would be great too. Problem is getting insurance after what happened last time when the filming of Hercules had to be pushed back costing millions due to him getting injured in the Cena match.

Wonder what they'll do with the Raw tag titles. Maybe use the fact Nicholas, as an underage and non contracted person, can't be champion to force Braun to get another partner.

They could do a match which Strowman gets destroyed by AOP while Nicholas watches on

CastorTroy

When the Bar came out, I thought at first that Braun had gone back to his roots and got his idol Adam Rose to join him

PTH2009

Saw a pic on Instagram looking like a former TNA world champion is appearing tonight

CastorTroy

And on that note, even though I'm just back on, time to go radio silent until after I watch Raw tomorrow. Enjoy

When you win over the post-Mania Raw crowd, that’s when you know you’ve made it.
