Mar 2, 2015 We’re four weeks away from WrestleMania 31, and emotions are running high throughout the WWE Universe. John Cena relentlessly pursues a rematch with United States Champion on The Grandest Stage of Them All, Bray Wyatt continues his quest to lure The Undertaker out of the darkness for a Show of Shows confrontation, and Seth Rollins attempts to coexist with The Authority’s prodigal son, Randy Orton, while waging a war of words with “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart. This year’s Road to WrestleMania is already proving to be among the most chaotic in the storied history of The Showcase of the Immortals, but in many ways, we’re just getting started. What excitement awaits live on Raw? WWE.com has some ideas. Will Cena battle Rusev at WrestleMania? It was a heart-wrenching evening for legions of John Cena fans at WWE Fastlane, where Cenation bore witness as their indomitable hero fell victim to United States Champion Rusev’s excruciating Accolade and passed out. Still undefeated, The Super Athlete celebrated a defining victory over the fighting American who, the very next night, valiantly urged for a rematch against The Hero of the Russian Federation at WrestleMania 31. This request was denied. As Cena has pointed out on several occasions, however, “Never Give Up” isn’t just a catchphrase on his T-shirts. On Raw, will Cena try to goad his unstoppable foe into a clash at The Show of Shows? If he’s unsuccessful in his mission, what awaits Cena at The Showcase of the Immortals? Does a Curb Stomp await Jon Stewart? It was far from a “Moment of Zen” Thursday night on “The Daily Show” when Seth Rollins appeared during the final segment of the Comedy Central series and delivered a face-to-face message to the Emmy Award-winning talk show host. “Why don't you shut your mouth and bring it, pal?” Rollins asked a visibly shaken Stewart.” “How about you show up, this Monday night on Monday Night Raw?” What will transpire when Stewart comes to Raw, where Rollins will no doubt be anxious to settle their rivalry once and for all? How will Reigns prepare for Lesnar? After defeating Daniel Bryan at WWE Fastlane and earning the right to challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania, Roman Reigns has silenced many of his vocal critics — but not Paul Heyman. Last week on Raw, Heyman said in no uncertain terms that The Big Dog doesn’t have what it takes to dethrone The Beast Incarnate at The Show of Shows, claiming Reigns is “the right guy in the right place at the wrong time.” Heyman’s words have only fueled Reigns’ desire to defeat Lesnar and capture sports-entertainment’s richest prize, but the No. 1 contender still must face his fair share of challenges — both physical and otherwise — before he battles The Beast in Santa Clara. What lies ahead for Reigns on Raw as he readies himself for the biggest match of his career? Is Randy Orton going to snap? Randy Orton doesn’t exactly play well with others, and even though the returning Viper has rejoined The Authority, his relationship with the rest of the group — especially Seth Rollins — is already tenuous at best. Re-emerging in WWE with a vengeance at WWE Fastlane, Orton doled out vicious RKOs to J&J Security and Kane, with Big Show and Rollins avoiding the punishment. Even though he’s now seemingly on the same page as the rest of his Authority associates, that same savagery lurks just beneath The Viper’s veneer of compliance, as evidenced by his frustration-fueled RKO to Jamie Noble after last Monday’s main event. Will we see WWE’s Apex Predator lash out against The Authority again this week, or will Triple H and Stephanie McMahon somehow force Orton to be a team player? Who will take possession of the Intercontinental Championship this week? Poor Bad News Barrett. Even though he’s still the Intercontinental Champion after Dean Ambrose was disqualified at WWE Fastlane, his waist has been noticeably bare thanks to Dean Ambrose, who defiantly absconded with the title when the bout had ended. After flaunting his stolen prize on Raw, Ambrose brought the Intercontinental Championship to SmackDown, where Daniel Bryan and R-Truth each got their mitts on the illustrious title before Ambrose got it back. Regardless of who’s physically holding the title, it will be Barrett who must defend it against multiple Superstars at WrestleMania 31 in a Ladder Match, as we learned last Thursday on Facebook. Will Barrett be able to hold his beloved championship again before it’s suspended high above the ring at The Showcase of the Immortals? Don’t miss Raw at 8/7 C on USA Network, and be sure to tune in to Raw Pre-Show at 7:30 ET, only on WWE Network.
Mar 2, 2015 Is Brock gonna be there tonight? I'm guessing not since that preview didn't really mention him appearing. It sucks that he was supposed to be there last week but wasn't, and now probably won't be there this week either. Obviously tonight will be the night Orton turns on Rollins you'd think. Jon Stewart will probably be announced as the guest ref or him being in Orton's corner or something.
Mar 2, 2015 Nah he's not scheduled for tonight. Here's his schedule for the rest of his contract March 9 RAW March 23 RAW WrestleMania 31 March 30 RAW (day the contract expires)
Mar 2, 2015 Spoiler Sheamus is expected to return tonight. I wouldn't be surprised to see him as a sixth competitor in the ladder match.
Mar 2, 2015 i hope vince dies within 5 years...because i am fairly sure wwe will go out of business in less than 5 years if the current trend will not end one thing wwe had for them..is that they would listen to the fans..even if that meant giving X Pac tons of belts..as long as the fans were cheering for him..now no matter how much a wrestler does, if he isnt what vince wants he wont get pushed what happened to DB and Cesaro is a crime...i have no idea why no one is trying to push vince outta the board...and what they did to sting...f--- what they did to sting then you have a massive heel which is Rusev..and you refuse to put him in the world title scene...ok in the history of wrestling, you needed 2 of the following 3 things to be a champ 1- gimmick/looks 2- wrestling skills 3- mic skills in the last 10 years wwe been putting the belt on people with only 1 of these criteria..and sometimes even none ! would you believe me if i told you swagger was a world champ?? or sheamus?? or miz?? f---
Mar 2, 2015 Koolo's right about a lot of that. To me what WWE should have done is have Bryan/Brock main event and add Reigns to the IC match, that's about where he should be on the card now. Then if they really want to and if he improves, build up Reigns for next year but it's too early now. There's a lot of people more ready for the main event than Reigns. Rusev, Rollins, Ambrose, Ziggler, Bryan, Bray and Barrett are all more ready for the main event. Reigns has potential but is still very green right now. Can anyone imagine him carrying a 15 minute talking segment to start off raw? I sure can't, and that's a big part of what the top guys need to do nowadays. Reigns also has no gimmick, is still wearing the shield outfit even though they haven't been around in almost a year and just always seems like he's acting. Yes I know he is acting, but it shouldn't seem that way. Koolo nailed it with the 3 things you need, and I'd say Reigns has 1.5 of them. He has the look(although definitely needs to develop his character more), his wrestling is okay but his talking is still awful compared to other top guys. Situations like this are a big part of the problem, WWE just does what they want to do even if the fans don't support it and even if the guys don't deserve it.
Mar 2, 2015 f---, wish my dumbass didn't click on that 2nd spoiler but I'm sure I would have seen it on wrestlezone anyways. We should know a lot more about the WM card after tonight. *edit* Spoiler apparently the idea is Paige/AJ vs the Bellas for Mania. It could be an interesting feud but weird that the divas title likely won't be on the line at the biggest PPV, unless they throw in a 'whoever gets the pin is the champ' kind of stipulation, but doubt they do that.
Mar 2, 2015 Nope. Right now the only confirmed entrants in the battle royal are The Miz, Curtis Axel, Ryback, Fandango, and Adam Rose
Mar 2, 2015 Out of those names listed so far, Ryback's gonna win, almost sure of that. Can't see any of those others winning it. f---, hope someone else wins it, still hate ryback.
Mar 2, 2015 Well to be fair, other than WrestleMania 30, the divas/womens title hasn't been defended at WrestleMania since 23.
Mar 2, 2015 I enjoyed it. Here's RAW, cut into smaller parts since the 3 parter hasnt been uploaded yet.
Mar 3, 2015 Raw was okay, some really cringe worthy parts though. Loved AJ's return in her home state even though the Bellas botched the move near the ropes at the end. The more I see/hear from Reigns, the more I dislike him tbh. This guy just doesn't have the it factor to me and does so many of the little things wrong, like at the end of raw I noticed him looking up at the screen either to look at himself or see if raw was off the air yet. There's something he did poorly in the opening segment too, but I forget. He's just such a s--- actor lol. Bray's promo was good but short. Kinda like that they're doing something a little different with Cena, teasing him joining the battle royale and not having a confirmed match yet even though it's obviously gonna be against Rusev. The 'niagara' commercial thing was r-----ed. I liked Rollins daily show and Jon Stewart was very good as well for a celebrity I thought. The IC title feud could be going a lot better, so far it's just a new person stealing the belt every segment which is....weird and kinda lame. They can steal the belt but they're still not the champ, so why's it even matter much? Usually when someone steals the title in a storyline, it doesn't last long and is to kinda piss the other guy off, now it's just weird and Barrett who's the champ barely even seems to care that a new person has the title every segment lol. It also seems to be the only thing going on in this story so far, they need to do more. *edit* s--- how did I forget Heyman's promo? That was awesome lol.
