WWE: Monday Night Raw 207: Stuff Just Happens

[TNT87]

Same. My expectation based on Monday's vignette was that the person who made her feel special was Ruby (not in a romantic kind of way, but in an empowering "The Riott Squad made me feel like I was really a part of something" kind of way) and that she'd be coming back heel and feuding with a face Ruby when she returned.

Thought the same thing as well.

First time that i'm tuning into the opening of RAW in at least a month, probably closer to two months.

With no MNF game and no Pens game on tonight, let's see how long I can last.

 

[GKJ]

Lesnar entering the Rumble at #1, even though he's the champion.

 

[Damien]

So he is going to win the rumble then face The Fiend at Mania. Brock will be the one to destroy The Fiend's invincible aura. Of course.

You a brave brave man.

I rather Brock do it nd keep it short than a snoozer with rollins or big dog.

 

[hockey20000]

so sick of this type of stuff over the years... "the ref is blind" when its there job to check for foot on rope in first place smh..

 

[iamjs]

You a brave brave man.

Made it an hour, switched over to Avs/Isles.

 

[iamjs]

I turned it back on, only to see they're still running the Lana/Lashley wedding angle.

.

 

[Dominator13]

Goddamn I'm so sick of these boring storylines...

There's no evolution to anything anymore.

- Black, Murphy and Rowan fighting jobbers every single week

- This Lana (I'll say anything to be a heel) wedding garbage.

- Lesnar with no opposition since Mysterio

Etc etc

Things need to start moving quicker.

 

[Dominator13]

Speaking of Allister Black, I'm thinking he's the 3rd man in tonight's main-event. The dark locker room and everything.

Edit; I take that back.

 

[Damien]

Maybe it's Juan Cena.

 

[ColePens]

I watched 45 mins of Raw for the first time in a LONG time. It went...
- Drew beat up Jose and a promo: A+ I really enjoyed it
- Black/Shelton and then Buddy/Black: A+ I reallllllly enjoyed this
- Big Show returned: It was fun.. I enjoyed it. I thought it was cool.

Best 45 minutes i've seen out of raw in years.

 

[hockey20000]

usually I hate brock lesnar stuff.. but I actually hope he wins the royal rumble lmao.. theres no other good pick this year to be honest..

 

[ON3M4N]

I don't see Brock winning the RR. There is just no logic behind him winning...you know what, that means he's probably winning.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

My thought is that Brock makes it down to 29 and ends up getting eliminated by #30 and whomever he loses to is who he's going to be in a program with at Mania.

 

[Brodeur]

If it were me, I'd have Brock run roughshod through the first ten before getting eliminated by whoever they want him to go against in Mania. In particular, I'd probably have a few spots (edit: with Brock):

Comedy: R-Truth or Heath Slater (although part of me would enjoy R-Truth stealing Nia Jax's spot in the women's Rumble)
NXT rub: Walter or Velveteen Dream (not sure how close he is to returning)
Legend cameo: (insert names here)

They can do that and a couple crazy floor is lava moments and Im happy.

 

[ColePens]

The best way to start the rumble is the most obvious way... Cain comes out #2 and they eliminate eachother. Cain eliminated Brock. Brock comes back in and eliminates Cain. You get your silly match at WM.

A Rumble storyline dominated by Lesnar would be soooooooooooo boring.

 

[Brodeur]

1. Brock
2. Heath Slater
3. Jinder
4. McIntyre
5. Booker T [Kane]
6. Velveteen Dream
7. Aleister Black [Ricochet]
....
~10. Kofi

Some armchair booking if it were me. Comedy spot to start with #2, Brock just toying with Slater and throwing him around the ring. Slater gets saved by the 3MB reunion as the trio neutralize Brock. Slater/Jinder let their guard down to celebrate before both being eliminated by McIntyre. Brock then hits McIntyre with an F5 (but not eliminated) as the countdown starts for #5. Since it's in Houston, I went with Booker T with the obligatory legend spot. Some quick offense, but Spinarooni into quick elimination. Velveteen Dream enters next and gets a staredown with Lesnar, both guys get their offense in. Aleister in next and him/Dream team up on Lesnar, leading to another staredown as a callback to their NXT feud.

Eventually have Kofi be the guy to eliminate Lesnar and build towards a Mania program. Maybe Kofi does his annual floor is lava spot only to have it be wrecked by a returning Brock. Although realistically I'd assume Vince would want a bigger name against Lesnar to pull in the casual viewers.

I like where youre going with this

I thought all the reports are Vince wants Roman to destroy The Fiend at mania.

Already regret tuning in after two minutes once I see that they’re advertising a fistfight for the likely main event.
