interesting selection, figured that was his role once he had the makeover, without Seth's injury though he was failing...

i seriously doubt he is gonna main event Mania so its simply paper champ

He'll drop it at Rumble for sure, most likely to Reigns

I get the feeling they're setting up Triple H and Reigns for WM. like Triple H to screw Reigns out of the title and so on

They've wanted to put the belt on Reigns for a while now, but keep delaying it due to his crowd reactions. They will try and put him in spots over the next month or so were he can get more pops and reduce the amount of haters

yeah spot on, that's why I thought they were  setting it up in a way that HHH keeps screwing him, try get the crowd on Reigns' side, have Reigns beat HHH at WM and go from there

i agree, it feels like HHH vs Reigns at Mania...
Brock is the obvious main event for Mania but i cant see it working vs Sheamus
Ambrose wont work, not ready
Orton?
Cena maybe?
Brock wins title defends against Cena at Mania :-\ eh thats been done
by default it kind of has to be Reigns doesnt it, there is nobody else

maybe something like Reigns vs HHH at WM, if Reigns wins, he has a second match at WM for the title?

Looks like Ambrose vs Owens for the IC

[Hellopplz]

Heard Cesaro may be out for 4-6 months for surgery (tore his rotator cuff I think). Sad news as was building steam again (with fans becoming more vocal) :(. So many injuries happening these days :-\.

Looks like Ambrose vs Owens for the IC

Think that was the route they were taking for Survivor Series before Rollins got injured and the tournament made. They can put on a match so I'm not complaining :D.

[RiOtChEsS]

Yeah it worked reasonably well with DB so yeah that could work, but then to face Brock :-\ Cena has to be involved somehow imo

I think they are vastly under utilizing Bray Wyatt, whatever this thing is with Stroman, get it goin already ::)

WWE is in so much trouble right now. This past Raw was the WORST ratings a Raw has gotten in 20 years! Wow! Shows how important Seth Rollins is.

and Orton... and Cena... and Lesnar

They are flowered atm, dare say H is on the horn to Lesnar offering a bonus for an earlier return

[Levi434]

Here is a good watch and a behind the scenes look at part of Seth Rollins' rehab work on his knee. Amazingly he is doing 5 hours a day  :o

an anti-american faction/storyline? what a creative and fresh idea. keep up the good work WWE

Rhyno though... awesome  ;D this better be going to 4 man 4 team TLC match

[Hellopplz]

Rhyno has been back for a while, but has been in NXT. So is Samoa Joe for those who didn't know!

Where were all these factions before Survivor Series when we needed elimination tags? :P But yeah was pretty cool to see a 4 team tag match on Raw. TLC should be pretty fun! Wyatts Vs ECW guys in a elimination tables match!! Then Lucha Dragons Vs Usos Vs New Day in a Ladder match should be pretty great! The two I'm looking forward to the most 8). Can't remember many others off the top of my head besides the IC and HW Champ matches.

I thought the episode wasn't that bad. Definitely wasn't the best but a lot of holes in the roster atm patching work needed to happen and I guess it is better for the show in the long run

[Atto]

Woah, I've missed a bit haha

Agreed, it'll probably be Roman v Hunter at WM, as I think the initial plan was to make it Rollins v HHH (which would have been flowering awesome), but can't now due to his injury. Also, I thought Sheamus was the guy to make Roman over, since he was basically useless prior to cashing in, everyone would hate him for doing so. It has worked to an extent.

Loads of injuries to fan favourites as well as poor product (although I have noticed more 'edgier' content and SD becoming slightly more relevant) are probably the reason for the downfall of ratings, as mentioned, Cena, Orton, Rollins, Cesaro just to name a few, and Lesnar not appearing regularly doesn't help either.

And yes, the Tag Teams/factions are probably the best part of it atm.

Crazy spot that looked wicked!! I'm going to go out of my way later to watch this tag team ladder match (was the one I was most looking forward to).

I agree there, props to New Day and the other teams for picking it up. Although WWE should do a better job with some of the up and coming ones (Ascension lost a handicap match against Ryback ::) ).
