Mar 23, 2015 It’s been a difficult Road to WrestleMania for Roman Reigns, but this week on Raw, he hits his greatest speed bump yet when he goes face to face with WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar. Will The Beast Incarnate bring the pain before battling The Big Dog on The Grandest Stage of Them All? As rap icon Snoop Dogg and ESPN personality Bill Simmons prepare to join the WWE Universe less than one week before WrestleMania 31, what else is in store on the final Raw before The Show of Shows? WWE.com has some ideas. Will Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar brawl before WrestleMania? One week after Roman Reigns momentarily silenced Brock Lesnar’s verbose advocate, Paul Heyman, The Big Dog will find himself within mauling distance of the ravenous WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Just six days before locking horns at WrestleMania, will the face-to-face confrontation between Reigns and The Beast Incarnate end in brutality? If so, for whom? How will Triple H respond to Sting? Last Monday night, as Seth Rollins attempted to orchestrate a plot to ensnare Randy Orton, Sting mysteriously appeared to help The Viper lay waste to Mr. Money in the Bank and his Authority associates. Sting’s surprise team-up with WWE’s Apex Predator sent a powerful message of defiance to his WrestleMania opponent, Triple H, who was visibly shaken by the sudden emergence of the baseball bat–toting enigma. Sting would go on to address the WWE Universe after Raw went off the air, exclusively on WWE Network, reiterating that he’s ready to take The Game down on The Grandest Stage of Them All. How will Triple H address his face-painted foe this Monday night? Does retribution await Bad News Barrett? Fed up with the game of “hot potato” several Superstars have been playing with the Intercontinental Championship in recent weeks, Bad News Barrett laid out at both Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan on SmackDown, holding his reclaimed title high above two of his battered WrestleMania opponents. Even though the night ended less than favorably for Ziggler and Bryan after their incredible efforts in the night’s Intercontinental Contenders Gauntlet Match, The “Yes!” Man and The Showoff never stay down for long. Will one — or both — of these Superstars get some payback against the Intercontinental Champion on Raw? Will Randy Orton get his hands on Seth Rollins? Randy Orton’s not the most patient Superstar on the roster, and we seriously doubt he’s going to wait until WrestleMania to get ahold of Seth Rollins again. Although several other members of The Authority suffered The Viper’s wrath Thursday night on SmackDown, Mr. Money in the Bank evaded an RKO. However, as history has taught us, WWE’s Apex Predator doesn’t let his prey run for long. Will The Viper sink his fangs into “The Future of WWE” on Raw? Is Rusev afraid of John Cena? United States Champion Rusev is many things: cunning, powerful, intimidating and, most importantly, unbeaten. But is he also getting nervous? Last Monday on Raw, in the final moments of a bizarre contract signing with his WrestleMania opponent John Cena, The Super Athlete flipped a table onto the Cenation leader and made a quick escape up the ramp. If Rusev is truly as unstoppable as he claims to be, why didn’t he stand and fight? Does he know that his U.S. Title reign is nearing its end? Is the reality that he’s about to suffer his first defeat — on The Grandest Stage of Them All, no less — beginning to sink in? Or is Rusev simply toying with Cena before crushing him at The Show of Shows? Expect some serious fireworks between Cena and Rusev before their anticipated WrestleMania rematch. Tune in to Raw at 8/7 C on USA Network, and don’t miss Raw Pre-Show at 7:30 ET, only on WWE Network.
Mar 23, 2015 Hoping for a great Raw tonight. On a 'backstage' note, apparently WWE is desperate to re sign Lesnar tonight and not have to wait until Mania or after Mania. So it's possible we'll find out some news about that today or tomorrow as well. I'm definitely hoping they re sign him, whether or not they do could have a big impact on the main event for Mania obviously.
Mar 23, 2015 Considering skipping class to watch this tonight since it's the go home show for Mania. Haven't made up my mind yet
Mar 23, 2015 i think they will re-sign him,i hope so anyway no matter what roman is still winning at mania but they could do something with brock down the line (i really want to see sting and brock at summerslam for some reason)
Mar 23, 2015 I don't see Roman winning as a sure thing anymore, thought it was before but not now. Supposedly HHH knows people aren't sold on Reigns and is trying to talk Vince into having Brock win, saw a report last week saying that at least. WWE knows if Roman walks out champ, the place will boo like crazy and it'd be a crap end to Mania..I think Rollins walking out champ is more likely but who knows.
Mar 23, 2015 yeh i saw that too but your forgetting that vince is a d-ck and doesnt like people telling him what to do,people dont like roman thats why it would make sense for rollins to cash in money in the bank,or end wrestlemania with the sting and triple h match
Mar 23, 2015 anyone else see undertaker this year? his hair is white i wonder if he will dye it back black for mania ?
Mar 23, 2015 He generally does dye it black before he returns to television, though part of me wouldn't mind him appearing with the grey look
Mar 23, 2015 hopefully he shaved his beard it looked like he had a f---ing forest growing out of his chin last year
Mar 23, 2015 Being a big Sting mark, are you at least kinda excited for that match? I'm almost positive Sting will win. But yeah the card is pretty underwhelming. I guess the optimistic side of me would say there's not many matches that should be bad, they should all at least be pretty good or better. But the main event especially is pretty weak, probably the least hyped I've ever been for a Mania main event.
Mar 23, 2015 The real question about tonights show is... will Brock re-sign? Sources are saying it's pretty much a given he is staying and that Vince wants it done and dusted by tonights RAW.
Mar 23, 2015 Brock Lesnar should be apart of the Scumbag Steve meme Signs a 2 year deal with WWE Only appears every 6 months
Mar 23, 2015 its not brocks fault tho vinces greedy a--- dont want to pay brock to apear because hes a "special attraction"
Mar 23, 2015 Brock every 3 months > Reigns every night. I don't mind it honestly, makes the championship feel important again when he does appear. I hope Brock retains for a little while longer, no one else is quite ready yet to take down the guy who destroyed Cena and ended Taker's streak. Reigns doing it after just 1 PPV main event would be a complete joke.
Mar 23, 2015 Oh, it's definitely Brocks fault. The reason he went in the first place is because of the constant travelling on the road they do. When he went back he was huge from his UFC run and Vince could see dollar signs and viewership in Brock. Add that to his million dollar contract he has and his wish to work so many dates a year and Vince pretty much gave him what he wanted.
