I'd say there won't be a turn this time, but it'll be hinted with the final nail being one pinning the other in the Elimination Chamber. Of course we need a winner so I could be wrong

J. Marston · 13-02-2018 02:34AM

That was really lovely from Cena after the match.

sky88 · 13-02-2018 02:42AM

Very good match to start

Why in the hell are they putting graphics on the screen now

Kinda scummy to cheer for an injury

Rock Lesnar · 13-02-2018 10:08AM

So now that he's destroyed everything and anything possible on this show, Strowman is now singing (instead of having an actual match on Raw for once), and when thats done, he lays out one of the guys most over with the fans, thats brilliant.

Rusev should watch out, he could be next.

ERG89 · 13-02-2018 10:40AM

What will Braun Mememan do next in his increasingly madcap adventures?

ricero · 13-02-2018 01:30PM

Strowman is wrestling !

Give him his mania moment and let him slay the beast and the big dog !

Officer999 · 13-02-2018 02:14PM

That was quite the hype video for Asuka.

Would suggest it's gonna be Asuka vs Rousey at Mania

martyos121 · 13-02-2018 03:16PM

I personally loved Braun’s segment. He doesn’t need to be the silent destroyer every single week, anyone that watched him on the MMC knows he has great comedic timing and the crowd popped huge for his song last night. I like him even more now.

SlickRic · 13-02-2018 03:36PM

the Braun thing was superb, because he is superb.

they needed to do something a little different, and they did. i was getting bored.

Lord TSC · 13-02-2018 04:11PM

I was reading some comments on Reddit earlier comparing Stone Cold and Braun, in terms of....

The crowd love them. They can pull off the most ridiculous scenes, and then they can march down to the ring and have 100% credibility in the ring. Braun can slot into any main event feud and be a massive danger, and he can hovver in the midcard having fun, and he stays over. He feels, to me, like something WWE haven't managed to pull off for ages; he's a giant, which Vince loves, but is charismatic enough that the crowd adore him as well.

He's going to have a pretty good career in WWE. Hope they push on and give him a title reign post Mania. I think it's a shame they're doing Roman over Brock; Brawn would get so, so much more benefit from such a win.

Agreed. It seems crazy to compare Austin and Brawn but that's exactly what I keep thinking myself. They sadly sh1t the bed with Brawn and Brock. It should have been much much bigger than it was and the lustre is gone off the match. You're never getting a technical 6 star match from Brawn but he's damn entertaining and deserves a run with the belt at the very least. Hopefully post Mania it happens.

The Nal · 13-02-2018 04:50PM

Big angry shouty smash everything up Braun being compared with Austin?!

Some crazy stats.

Credit where it's due, WWE have made a ridiculously dominant wrestler over two and half years work very well. I'm not bored of Asuka and neither are most people in live crowds or online.

Still better than Mr. Anderson being compared to the Rock a few years ago. Jaysus

So I'm guessing we are getting Finn Vs Seth next week to determine who will get the last spot in the chamber match after that ending.

Also I see they are obviously saving the Bayley/Sasha heel turn for now. Sasha was more like a heel in that match but obviously only because it was in Bayley's home tome town. I think Sasha should be the heel but watch them turn Bayley

No the chamber match now has 7 in it instead of the usual 6

PTH2009 · 13-02-2018 09:09PM

I can see Reigns starting the EC match and going all the way

Cena may go out early and be all depressed on Raw the nignt after and Challenge Taker to a retirement match ???

Really hope Braun doesn't go the santino comedic route, he's main event material

Kurt's stuttering in promos seems to be getting worse week by week.

SureYWouldntYa · 13-02-2018 09:55PM

Braun and his massive "guitar" was so bloody stupid

But he pulled it off and it was great imo

He's had a hell of a turnaround from 2 years ago when linked with Undertaker for Mania, nobody wanted to see that at all

He's great with Alexa in the MMC too

Has to become champion soon, and I'd love to see the Universal title match for Mania made a triple threat even if he's not going to win

I’m surprise it isn’t mentioned more often, I notice it every week now. Maybe he’s suffering from nerves or anxiety but with the accumulation of bangs to the head he’s taken I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s playing a part in some way, though I don’t know enough about that to say for sure.

CastorTroy · 13-02-2018 10:35PM

Better Braun came out with a bass instead of a ukulele. Though now I want to see that.

I know we tend to see the same matches a lot, but defeating 34 different opponents over 2 and a half years doesn't seem that impressive when put that way

sky88 · 13-02-2018 11:02PM

Whatever about his booking roman is in a very good to great matches every week on raw.

Granted hes always given the time to do one unlike others.

More down to getting fresh opponents than time. Few matches on Raw aren't given time. But he isn't wrestling Cesaro & Sheamus every week for 6 months like Rollins has.

I've noticed this too since he came back but I've been putting it down to having to presumably recite lines from a script rather than have the relative freedom he's had with promos the rest of his career.

xpletiv · 14-02-2018 12:22AM

Re Kurt; or its part of his story, asked to stutter, as he gets more pressure from job and it all blows up at some stage

CastorTroy · 18-02-2018 01:39AM

WWE just announced all 7 competitors in the EC match will take part in a gauntlet match on Monday night.
No idea what they hope to achieve. I guess 7 is an awkward number to have in a tag match?

Roman wins as a preview of what's to come at Elimination Chamber next Sunday, is it next Sunday?

Also, there will be lots and lots of pointing at the Wrestlemania sign

to make Roman look strong

prob end up being Braun killing everyone and him standing tall

be interesting if they do something like whoever loses first will be out of the match and they go back to 6 ??
