Monday Night Raw 13-1-14

1. Daniel Bryan to team with Bray Wyatt (This week, Bryan partners with Bray Wyatt to take on the Uso brothers in a rematch. What will unfold when the creepy group's leader takes The Beard under his wing?)

2. The Viper to confront The Authority (Orton demanded to speak with WWE COO Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. With The Authority nowhere to be found, though, the champion vowed to give the power couple “a piece of my mind” on Raw.)

3. Colossal conflict (Big Show threw down a giant-size gauntlet on SmackDown, challenging The Beast to a match at Royal Rumble. Lesnar wasn’t there to accept, but Paul Heyman was, making the match official. Who will make the next move as the collision between these two goliaths approaches at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view?)

4. Shield solidified? (Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and U.S. Champion Dean Ambrose worked together to dismantle CM Punk &The New Age Outlaws on SmackDown. Is the victory enough to make all doubters stop asking questions about the strength of The Shield, or will the black-clad Superstars carry their momentum into Raw and make another emphatic statement?)

5. Get ready to Rumble! (So far, we know Batista and Alberto Del Rio are in the 30-Superstar Royal Rumble Match. With 28 spots to fill, will more competitors be named on Raw? As the January 26 pay-per-view fast approaches and paves the Road to WrestleMania, who’s driven enough to make a name for himself this year?)


I sense an ending is on the horizon for Randy Orton & The Authority

I'd love if Too Cool and Jake were around again tonight

I'm hoping for a return to action for Christian,

Daniel Bryan must be so happy with how things are going for him.

He must be thinking to himself and pretty much what every WWE fan thinks (**** WWE'S CREATIVE TEAM, I/HE SHOULD BE IN THE MAIN EVENT)

Never give up hope, if he was at RAW last month for The Ascension Ceremony, then surely his inevitable return is right around the corner, what was Christian on the shelf for again?

Pretty much a given that we'll get our first Hall of Fame inductee seeing as the tickets go on sale Saturday.

Good money is them showing a clip of the end of Raw last week and then revealing Jake Roberts as an inductee.

I'd say those decisions are made at a higher level

I still can't see what the big deal with Christian is .....runs away

I don't think you understand Bryan in fairness. His disposition is more the laughing priest from Father Ted if anything.

rovert

The most interesting thing will happen backstage with Vince's big meeting with talent addressing that due to the Network PPV bonuses as they knew them are gone,

Christian was great a few years ago but is a shadow of his former self now.

He never recovered from his title runs

It's probably what the future would hold for Daniel Bryan if he picks up an inopportune concussion or injury

gnfnrhead

What the fcuk, starting with a match? Someone call hell and see if it's cold.

riffmongous

A dominating win for Wyatt and Bryan would be pretty cool and might actually help this story go somewhere

Moneymaker

Lawler: They don't want to see this! They don't want to see Daniel Bryan in the Wyatts!

Vince trolling the fans hard tonight :pac:

It's a shame it's not Harper instead of Wyatt.

gnfnrhead

Was expecting a save and then an eight man tag to be made later.

riffmongous

For God's sake

ricero

Bah gawd hes a sadistic son of bitch king !

gnfnrhead

Such a shame they dumped Sandow back to the midcard after that. That could have been the making of him, even in defeat.

Two matches in a row? The last hour must be the Orton/Authority stuff.

J. Marston

Feck sake, Sandow thrown to the Cena wolf.

Moneymaker

Hopefully Sandow at least puts in a good performance and it's not a total squash.

deano546

Devastated that we're not getting Khali v Sandow part 3 tonight.

gnfnrhead

Seriously? Less than five minutes since the last break.

Jester252

Is Cena wearing Hulk undies

He should get a Super Cena pair

Jester252

At least Sandow didn't super job.

gnfnrhead

Further proof that Smackdown is pointless.

Moneymaker

Over 30 mins until a Network plug :eek:

Does this count as another ad break? :pac:

Also, there was a subtle but prominent image of Sting in the footage there... O.o

Jester252

WWE network. The only place to see Chris Benoit.

Moneymaker

Oooh, i'm actually curious to see what happens with that cage match.

gnfnrhead

What exactly was the point of that? Use someone like Zach Ryder for a squash instead of one half of one of the best teams.

Least it wasn't Cesaro

Swagger can get squashed all day for all I care.

gnfnrhead

What a likable guy Big Show is. Punching out a 64 year old non wrestler just because he can.

riffmongous

Nice to see them follow up the brutal assualt of an old veteran with an add for helping veterans /:pac:

gnfnrhead

Poor Road Dogg is gassed from walking to the ring and talking at the same time :pac:

cian68

Flash funk reference. I am now fine with this rematch.

Strongbow10

is Lesnar scheduled to make an appearance tonight?

riffmongous

I just hope that cage match doesnt end with Harper and Rowan somehow still managing to get into the cage

Not according to the recent list. Obviously there is no way of knowing if it's accurate or not, but he isnt scheduled until next week according to it.
