That’s what you should do

If it weren't a WM crowd, I'd say maybe it could happen. WM crowd? Roman gonna get shat on.

The WWE champion should never be a part time performer. It just really devalues the title IMO when it's never being put on the line. For that reason alone I want Roman to win it, then drop it to somebody else at the following PPV.

Well, considering Lesnars contract expires and Dana White basically confirmed he's headed for the UFC, Reigns is winning the title.

Hopefully it's a good match at least.

No doubt in my mind it'll be awesome, unless Lesnar doesn't want to do anything like he did with Ambrose. That WM31 match was awesome before Rollins cashed in.

I haven't followed along too much lately. But I think I'm looking forward to the Styles/Nakamura match the most.

Daniel Bryan return for me.

The thing that puts a real damper on the show for me is just knowing with 99% certainty that the show will close with Roman Reigns winning the title.

That match could go first and I’d be perfectly fine with it. Too predictable at this point.

Either that or the Rousey match.

Any old school Attitude Era appearances expected tonight?

Well...I did NOT see the Andre the Giant Battle Royal ending that way....

I think that one is too risky at this juncture.

I have this bad feeling that Rousey is really going to disappoint if she’s forced to work a decent chunk of the match. And if she’s not, then I’m not sure it’s main event quality anyways.

No way Roman isn't the headliner. They want you to really, really like him.

Also lol @ Bray/Hardy Tagteam.

Really? Kind of figured they'd do that. Especially since Jeff got his DWI

I figured someone younger would win.

Tanahashi and Okada are actually in the crowd to watch Styles and Nakamura. You know they're going to go crazy. Also, Nakamura supposedly is going to have an awesome entrance.

Also, are we seriously going to get Cena reaction shots all night?

Will be behind on it tonight so have fun ****os

Okay, I get not giving Balor the win. Vince doesn't like him. No shock there. But why the **** would you waste 3 years of Asuka like that? She's completely done now. You can't ever build her back up to the point she was. What a waste. And I'm sure it was just to surprise all the smarks. She's nothing now. Might as well just put her back in NXT. She'll be midcard with ****ing Carmella and Naomi now.

Watch Vince put AJ over Shinsuke later, too, in a 5 minute match, just to stick it to all the online marks.

Two good matches with two finishes I hate so far. What a lame way to start.

I guess we see it differently.....it would be hard for me to buy an Asuka win over Charlotte Flair.

As for giving the win to Rollins...I am fine with that.

And now they put over Jinder. Jesus. ROFL

Same here, about Asuka over Charlotte.

I was surprised the Jinder Mahal won that, especially given how over Rusev is right now.

There's zero reason to have her win the rumble, then challenge across brands, if you aren't going to give her the win. Beating Charlotte builds her into the top champion in WWE, maintains the win streak, which in turn makes it a bigger deal down the road when someone finally does beat her, whether it's Ronda or Charlotte or someone else.

Doing what they did today just makes her look weak, and does resolutely nothing for Charlotte right now, or for business in the future.

The only thing they did was provide a surprise finish that completely kills Asuka. Nothing positive whatsoever came out of the match. It's one of the stupidest finishes I can remember.

Which basically makes it classic Vince, killing any talent that didn't come from his system.

It's like they they're booking the opposite of the popular predictions, just for the sake of surprise. Or they're giving the finger to online fans.

This should be interesting. I can't imagine them putting HHH and Steph over, but it's been bizzaromania so far.

Maybe the last two finishes were made to make this one seem less predictable.

That's what I'm hoping...and frankly giving the finger to some online fans is not a bad thing...lol.

Just like WM32. Good matches with stupid booking for no reason.

This mixed tag match has been much better than I would have thought...so far. It depends on how it ends.

Yeah, that couldn't have gone much better.

Her punching the shit out of Hunter was classic. LOL

I think I'm the only guy on earth that doesn't like new day.

This has been a good show. Surprised they booked Auska to lose, but it had to happen at some point.

Jinder winning was obnoxious - especially having Rusev eat the pin.

Rousey was extremely impressive.

Crowd seems tired. They were dead for the SmackDown tag match

I knew Balor wasn't winning as soon as Demon Balor didn't come out.

Auska will be fine

Well, this is a weird way to do this.

LMAO

Elias coming out is the best thing ever. LMAO

That was goofy.

LMAO for ****ing real?

Cena squashed by the Undertaker may be my favorite thing ever.

I so badly wanted Hunter to tap out :D

Taker looks awful. Should have hung it up after Brock broke the streak

Really? He was moving pretty ****ing good. He looks old as shit, but that's perfect for his gimmick. Just keep coming back every year looking uglier and uglier.

Taker needs to stop there and take his ring.

For sure

Was kinda hoping they'd close the show with this, as unlikely as that ever was. Bryan standing tall at the end would've been special.

Ending with Lesnar and Reigns seems like a really bad idea. Hope I'm wrong.

So much Raw shit left. Universal title, Women's title, tag title. Shin and AJ def not going on last.

That was probably the best taker has looked since his match with Shawn. He looked great. For a guy his age. The hip surgery looks to have worked.

He looked improved, but should walk away with his new found mobility.

Not his fault Vince can no longer build a star.

Haven't seen him do old school in a long ass time, and he was running around pretty good. He only had to go 2 minutes, so that helped tremendously.

How the **** do you not make this guy your top star right ****ing now?

KO not the main event is a tragedy.

He could get Roman over probably

I'm going to be so disappointed if Braun Strowmans partner is the Big Show.

What a dud of a match

Meh, it was fine only because of Bryan. Shane McMahon needs to get the **** out.

Don't worry, he and Sami are heading to RAW now and far, FAR away from sweaty Shane McMahon.

This was the best possible outcome, IMO.

Also - good Lord this is going to be a long show. Tuned in at 4:00pm for the pre show and I'm getting super sleepy.

I hope they lose if it is Show.

Bryan isn't in great shape. It needed a swerve to bring real excitement.

KO and Sami getting buried on the Raw midcard is the worst result.

I think WWE thinks too highly of Owens to have him lost in the mid card.

What were you expecting? A Bryan heel turn? There's no way they're doing that his first night back as an active competitor.

Shane is legit injured. He has what Brock had years ago that ruined his original UFC run.

Vince probably hates him for not looking like Batista. He at least doesn't meddle with SD.

A Shane turn

I don't think a 1998 Steve Austin could put Roman over...

Pretty sure Carmella cashes in on Nia here.

A big enough asshole could. KO is the biggest anti-hero since Austin.

****ing end this

E: that should have been a 2-4 min squash

I guess... although the crowd would still cheer for KO.

I have no idea why they just didn't have Asuka just beat Alexa. Nia Jax as a face champion will suck.

Well at any rate, Main Event time.

KO is talented enough to get heel heat going against anybody.

This is a LONG show....

What the **** is this?

I can't see AJ retaining.

God this match is a long wet queef

Yeah. It's how their first one started too so hopefully they get this shit going quick.

Or you could just do that.

Vince must of woke up and remembered he actually hates Asians.

That match sucked

Tonight's lesson is you better speak English or you ain't ever getting a push in Vince' s company, royal rumble or not.

Back to the midcard, japs!

Okay this owns now

LMAO That works too.

Hmm, maybe a longer feud begins.

Weird that they'd do this now.

Arm. To. Balls.

Crowd has been dead since the rousey match, that didn't help styles and shin much.

I don't see that changing in either of the last two matches. Maybe if braun has either a good partner or does it alone.

They're gonna crap all over lesnar and Reigns.

This mystery partner is either going to save the show or effectively end it.
