It would be great if WWE could just be a bit unpredictable and put the belt on Balor and have himself and Rollins tear the house down in the Mania main event

Don't you dare make me dream like that.

It would be a fitting storyline. Rollins and Balor fought for the first Universal Championship... Rollins took Balor out and cost him the championship.

Instead Bork will prob be going over on Sunday.

Watching last night, I have to agree with Necro. They certainly were giving off the vibe they usually do when there's a genuine chance of a "shock" result.

Now, is it a 100% chance he's winning? Nah. Head over heart says Brock kills Finn as a roadstop on his path to fight Braun for the title at Mania.

But I do feel there's a slight chance they do Braun vs Brock without they title, pull an Eddie with Finn, and have him go on to defend against a Rollins or a Drew.

I'll give props to WWE and the writing team though; they've done a good job unconvincing me Brock will win.

My thoughts exactly,the RAW champion doesn't have to be a musclebound heavyweight

Bork Lesnar sounds better

:D:D

I don't care if they're Finn, Drew, Seth, Elias or Curt freakin' Hawkins. Just get the belt off Bork Laser and have it featured every week like the WWE Title is.

It's why - whilst I'd have preferred a Braun cash in - I didn't mind Reigns getting the title earlier in the year. At least it was then a feature piece of the show, like it should be.

Yeah these are just placement feuds until the big one at Mania... he must be going to win the Rumble.

Thats my thinking, he goes for Brock at Mania, cant wait for Raw next monday, til we start f'n pointing at that wrestlemania sign again

Lord TSC · 22-01-2019 01:54PM

Oh, also...

I've never really seen much of Otis and Heavy Machinery before. But I'm all in on him now!

sky88 · 22-01-2019 04:44PM

have to agree after last night i think finn is winning.

honestly wouldn't be surprised if they do an eddie/brock like finish with braun substituting for goldberg.

Good shout. That would probably lead to Brock V Braun at WM and then Finn v Drew v Seth at Mania maybe?

2ndcoming · 22-01-2019 04:57PM

That looks the most obvious route, but will they take it??

I would have went Drew Vs. Cena at Mania myself and just have Seth Vs. Finn.

The Eddie vs Lesnar match was entirely different. Eddie was suplexing Brock in that match. Eddie was 2 or 3 stone heavier than Balor and was juiced off his nut.

So the everyone in the ring throwing each other over the top rope to happen tonight and tomorrow? Men tonight and women tomorrow?

Wasn't in the ring but the women got that spot. Guess men tonight.
And Alexa in the rumble? So she cleared or protected somehow?

And the biggest news of the night was, of course, the reunion of The Edgeheads. When the beatdown on Curt was happening I was expecting Ryder. Though I was watching the match waiting to see how they could have a ref lose?

And what was with EC3 not speaking?

J. Marston · 22-01-2019 08:35PM

If they have Hawkins end his losing streak with Ryder against The Revival it will be hilarious.

I was actually surprised in the lack of size difference between Bork and Finn. I mean don't get me wrong, Lazer is more built than Finn but the height difference didn't seem all that pronounced last night..

Could be just the angles WWE were showing and I'll get a better idea on Sunday but according to Wiki

Brock is 6 ft 3 in (191 cm)
Finn is 5 ft 11 in (180 cm)

5 inches isn't a massive difference imo. Size wise though..

Finn - 190 lb (86 kg)
Brock - 286 lb (130 kg)

Fairly pronounced.

Did find it kind of funny they had Seth come out talking about MLK jr right after 2 black men fought each other.

Agent Coulson · 22-01-2019 09:21PM

Paul E is the greatest Hype man of all time.

I think he could make me a believable Opponent for Brock.

A motivated Brock is great and he looks motivation Right now for me.

Shoe horning in MLK quotes through Ambrose and Seth (comparing his plight to those of the people MLK was referring too) was just cringeworthy

Furious-Red · 22-01-2019 09:38PM

I think my favourite part of Raw was the fresh new matches that we were told we were getting between Elias/Corbin and Rollins/Drew

ERG89 · 22-01-2019 10:21PM

So David ate every mushroom he could see before he battled the green giant Goliath. I'd like to think that Vince was ad libbing but no he is just bad.

CastorTroy · 22-01-2019 10:30PM

I think he just got mixed up with the story of Mario and Bowser

we all just need to accept that he is losing his mind.

Anyone else see the Sasha malfunction? Version I watched blacked out for it

TimesArrow · 28-01-2019 11:17PM

after watching 7 hours of RR coverage yesterday, I don't know if I can handle a full three hour commercials galore episode of Raw tonight

She had tights on so wasn’t much too it

CastorTroy · 28-01-2019 11:51PM

Since Rollins will probably challenge Lesnar, does that mean Smackdown will have the second chamber match?

PTH2009 · 29-01-2019 02:07AM

Would love if Rollins choose Daniel Bryan for mania but obv will pick Brock

Whats triple h want

mcdaids69 · 29-01-2019 02:12AM

johnnyryan89 · 29-01-2019 02:14AM

D Bryan on Raw tonight

PTH2009 · 29-01-2019 02:21AM
