Predictions for tonight? I think they’ll close the show with roman and I’m guessing it’s good news since he’s back. I don’t know any spoilers or anything- I’ll guess Corbin/Lashley/drew shows up, setting up some tag/6 man tag match at Mania. Maybe he’ll team with Braun/Kurt or maybe Ambrose. I can definitely see the shield being reunited one last time at Mania to celebrate Rollins winning the title v Brock. Playing devils advocate here, but That could well be the final image of the show, therefore pushing the women’s match down the card

Rumour has it Reigns is set to appear live via satellite tonight.

We are also prob going to have becky lynch attempt a murder on a 70 year old man tonight during the flair celebration gotta love wrestling

I want to see the dirtiest player in the game tonight. Roman to give a very emotional speech and just as Reigns starts to cry, Flair comes in from the crowd and hits him with a low blow from behind.



And then quite literally gets into his birthday suit.

PTH2009

Is it possible too get rid of the illness so quick ??

Reckon we will deff get a final Shield reunion at mania

Rock Lesnar

Will Becky drive a beer truck or a zamboni into the arena for the birthday celebrations or will security actually manage to stop her before she does

J. Marston

She'll be inside a comically sized birthday cake.

PTH2009

So when will they use Romans illness in a storyline and say something out ragious ??

The White Feather

Not sure if this is a spoiler or not but this guy that I think owns the place Roman was training said he is making a comeback

I’m not a doctor but from what I know from people who have had it you can get the blood levels back to normal reasonably quickly with treatment but it’s hard to say that you’d be rid of it for good. They’ll need to monitor him for years possibly but there’s no reason for him not to be active I would think. Open to correction on that obviously.

Itssoeasy

I don't think it's spoiler that roman would at some point(all going well with him) would start to get back in the ring for a return. I didn't like the character and the way he was booked, but it has to be a good thing that he's on raw tonight as it means things are good with his health. We haven't had a ten bell salute of an active wrestler in many years and hopefully it doesn't happen again.

Only thing I could think of but that’s a totally different as Pratt is linked to that church with known homophobic views than most religions

PTH2009

So will reigns have a match at mania ??

Agent Coulson

FTR.

seandotcomm

Jaysus, they didnt waste much time using the cancer for cheap heat

TimesArrow

NIce opening segment with Roman but do they really have to use his cancer to start a feud with Corbin

PTH2009

Ambrose is face again ?

Yea, last week they had him come up to Rollins backstage wondering why he didnt have his back in his match against corbin, like.. he's crazy so he's forgotten that he's a heel and turned his back on the shield etc....

TimesArrow

I love Renée, she’s great at interviewing, everything backstage, the pre shows and was great on talking smack, but sorry, she brings nothing to the commentary table

said he believes in god and visits a certain church with homophobic views as lads said :D playing far cry new dawn as well as watching..cant keep up LOL

Mr.Nice Guy

Been a while since I stayed up for a Raw but was worth it for the opening. One of the best Raw segments I've seen. Fair play to the crowd for the fantastic response as well.

Think I'll give the rest of it a miss though.

mcdaids69

gwan becky!
gwan ronda!

TimesArrow

I think Ronda needs to get the upper hand at some point in this feud

J. Marston

She should be going after Charlotte really, shouldn't she?

PTH2009

Ronda is dreadful for this segment

mcdaids69

cue "shes leaving" all week on boards :D

TimesArrow

Dafuq is ronda on about

Ginger douche in cuffs

J. Marston

Ronda is better than Finn on the mic.

TimesArrow

That clip with the Ascension was just awful. As bad as anything I’ve seen for a while. Jesus

TimesArrow

Woah!!!! What an ending

mcdaids69

good show over all,wont give any spoilers :eek::eek:,just dont want to hear the rondas leaving rubbish in forums :D

martyos121

One of the best Raws in a long time, and the ending......perfection. Loved the little touch that was

Batista dragging the cameraman with him and keeping him there. As someone already pointed out on Twitter, subtle things such as that is what Bruce Prichard was known for backstage, so he may have started his job already.

Was debating whether to spoiler that or not, but given that a lot of people check this thread to see if Raw was worth watching before diving in, I thought it was for the best.

Lord TSC

Audibly gasped at that ending. Had zero clue it was coming. Amazingly shot too. WWE get flack, rightly so, when they are poor with camera work so thought that last scene was bloody awesome.

Roman back is great news (just please let Seth beat Brock and avoid moving towards Roman vs Brock again, please). On Post Wrestling last week, they pondered if the Triple Powerbomb on Braun at EC was coincidental or leading to something, and 5ought maybe it was Seth/Dean/Strowman teaming up. Guess they were close and that should have been a clue Roman was cleared. Guessing Shield/Strowman vs The new stable?

Also really enjoying Ronda vs Becky. I genuinely like Ronda standing up for Becky, not out of liking her but wanting to face the best. She’s doing it in a way that puts Becky over as a legit challange to her.

Awesome show, or at least for the three main segments.

RollieFingers

Best episode of Raw in ages, that ending was fantastic, Batista is a legend, he binned old man Flair

Absolutely delighted for Roman, great news. Not a fan of them going full blown Stone Cold Becky Lynch, find it a bit cringey and think it will burn the feud out if Becky keeps getting the upper hand before Mania.

sirmanga

I'm sorry, but I just don't get the Becky stuff. Why is she on crutches? What is that adding to the storyline, apart from her attacking babyfaces with them?

Then when she was getting arrested she was whinging "they robbed me. I should have a shot at the women's title." What a big baby. Why am I supposed to like her?
If they had to have her get arrested like Stone Cold then she should have been smiling as she was being carted off instead of complaining.

I guarantee that the fans will eventually turn on Becky if WWE keep this up.
