I think Bray will return with a melted face.

Like what ever segment the have planned for either of them should separate.

The run everthing into the ground until even the most interesting feud goes stale.

Shane O Mac is back

:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Drew will defend his title in the Elimination Chamber match against Randy Orton (FFS), Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles, The Miz and Sheamus

seandotcomm

maybe it's the suit but Flair's looking fierce round in the face.

PTH2009

Edge once again keeping his options open

Bar the finish in the orton match i found that a very solid raw.

Any chance of seeing Edge vs AJ at Mania for the title? Or for some nostalgia, Edge vs Jeff?

Just from reading the reports the writing this week does seem to be more settled, helps there was no Fiend antics this week.

I think Nia has a job for life after this:

Was only thinking the same.

It's be nice to have a Rumble winner with a clear purpose again.

Jax with a bit of nice spontaneous working but they'll be making t shirts out of it and making a weekly forced thing of it in no time.

So Raw has a clear title program set up in Drew vs Sheamus. A perfect filler feud.

Smackdown has multiple people with claims to title shots, including a few who were screwed out of it.

So...Raw gets a chamber match? :S What? All this does is make me think they've decided Drew ain't going into Mania as champion, and need to move the title off him.....

This, I don't understand why Raw got the Chamber, it really seemed like they actually built up people on Smackdown for it. Some of the Raw entrants make no sense either, why is Miz there when he has the briefcase for one? Didn't even realise that EC was so close tbh. Seems pretty clear from this too that Edge is challenging Roman for Mania. Did anyone else think for a brief minute that Shane was going to insert himself?

Aside from that this was a decent Raw, better than previous weeks. No Fiend stuff at all this week which is a surprise. The Lacey/Charlotte match was a dud and seemingly this is the Mania feud so that's not great. I'm liking Bad Bunny's involvement more than I should and the fact the gave him those 3D graphics and pyro pretty much solidifies for me that he is gonna have a match with Priest at Mania. Nice to see Keith Lee back, that US title match has some serious potential.

Mustafa Ali gave a great promo on Raw Talk too.

J. Marston

Edge tore Miz to ribbons on the mic. Great promo.

Thought the same. Vey round and red.

Is it too much to hope that Nia going through the table writes her off tv for at least a year?

What was the point of Shane being there? Then Drew with a heel reaction asking why he didn't get a heads up.

I agree with the fact the Chamber match was already built on Smackdown. Guess that means the Smackdown women get the chamber? That would be Sasha, Carmella, Bayley, Liv, Ruby and Natalya?

Bianca needs to act like a challenger. On both Smackdown and Raw she was all upbeat and friendly. Not exactly giving off the same "Watch your back!" attitude Edge has.

Bad Bunny heel turn teased? Wearing socks with sandals.

LineOfBeauty

Big oooof at that Raw Chamber lineup.

Nia Jax stole the show though, "my hole!" will live on in infamy forever.

TimesArrow

It’s a solid line up for the raw chamber with all former champions. However, everyone in the match bar drew is over 40 and you could argue they missed a chance to give someone younger the chance to shine in this match

It's a Chamber with guys who've, aside from Styles, been on WWE TV forever, the majority of whom, peaked in the decade before last. If it were like Pro Wrestling NOAH and you're working with the cards you're given then I can muster up some sympathy but this is WWE and they've got a million guys to choose from and they've ended up with Miz, Orton, Sheamus and Jeff Hardy in 2021. That's damning.

Agent Coulson

The Nia Jax thing looks completely staged to me.

She hurts herself and makes a bit of a fool out of herself shouting my hole.

That will make up for her hurting so many over the last few years now that she has her comeuppance

CastorTroy

That's her not taking the thing seriously. Her whole attitude comes across to me as someone who thinks she can coast by and still get a decent spot. And WWE aren't exactly helping matters.

J. Marston

Riddle/Lee/Lashley should be a great match.

As a rule of thumb, triple threats are almost never great.

Why is hardy in the match? He’s a mid carder who loses every week..

Shane’s non advertised appearance was nothing short of bizarre.. could there be more to this? I hate to say it, but could the seeds have been sowed for Drew v Shane at Mania.. i think that’s where this is leading..

In my opinion, everything that has followed edges rumble return last year has been a busted flush. Really have no interest in this version of the character. Overly serious, dull promos and he just isn’t entertaining.. edge was great when he had some humour and personality- where is any of that?

riffmongous

Were Christian or Carlito there last night?

PTH2009

It was a meh Raw but match quality was decent and demonstrated how bad Nia Jax is

Odd having no mention of Bliss/Fiend an there antics, maybe saving it for something massive

JP Liz V1

Why is Adam Pearce and Shane O Mac on Raw, underground fight club returning?

I did LOL at Nia
