Official Raw thread

What's the news with Eva Marie? Has she been wrestling at all? Has she shown up on RAW or Smackdown at all? I see she has been getting a special one-on-one wrestling lessons. Not at NXT. Is this as common thing? Or is she getting special treatment?

It seemed that the WWE switched from wanting Lana to be the next big woman there, to Eva Marie becoming that next big woman saying the WWE wanted a latina in that role. When they went to the diva revolution I figured they gave up on Eva Marie too. The preview I saw for total divas had her in the hospital, something about her implants and it being life threatening. Maybe she has the wrong goo in there and they are afraid of it bursting?

I have a question about Raw, I haven't watched the replay since but how did that not count for Sheamus cashing in? He handed the ref the briefcase and said I'm cashing it in so I don't get it.

It doesn't officially count as a cash in unless the ref rings the bell.

and technically, he never gave up the briefcase, he seemed to be playing tug of war with the ref, if the ref took it he would have rung the bell.

In my opinion, Sheamus should be really pissed at that ref, lol. Either that or Orton was late on his RKO spot. That ref looked dumbfounded and Sheamus was screaming "CASH IT IN!" in his face over and over. Made the ref look like an idiot.

well finished off Raw with a couple of things. Paul Heyman, usually right on the script, uttered the words, now undertaker is 22-1, Thought he should have said 21-2, had a false bell with no undertaker, more Heyman and a second bell tolled and undertaker kicked lesnar in the nuts again, choke slam and tombstone.

So do we usually stick with the guy that ends up on the mat on raw ends up victor on sunday?

Really pretty lame. The crowd was in a frenzy in Brocks home town and considering the 15 minute fight with gangs of people not able to keep them apart, this was pretty lame. Brock looked like cena, got alot of lift on the choke slam.

I was pissed by the ending. I would have been cool with Promo. Let Brock and the Mic god talk us into spending our money. There was no need for Confrontation

 

[OregonDucks]

Yes. After the way RAW ended Lesnar gets the win, and without that typical outline and pattern Lesnar should get the win anyways, unless Taker wins by cheating.

Taker looked really really old, and he was gassed after picking Lesnar up.

I agree about the no need for confrontation at the end.

Really? I thought he looked pretty jacked considering his age. Way less flab than we've seen in recent years. He still moves like crap though but that's to be expected considering his legs and hips are beat up beyond repair.

he did look ripped, but it didn't look good rip...don't know maybe it just showed his age more

 

[anotheridiot]

they just created such a buzz 4 weeks ago, if that brawl happened last night people would be chomping at the bit waiting for sunday.

I mainly noticed his love handles when he did the fist pump with his back turned.

Taker literally did on RAW what he did at Battleground, minus one tombstone. It was so stupid. They should have had that brawl from a few weeks ago end this week's show to really sell it. Cause I'm for sure not sold on it now. Should be good, but we all know who's coming out on top. I expect a Kane interference at some point, though.

Exactly, this was at a fevers pitch for three weeks, with two kicks to the dick in two separate occurrences, its almost like Taker is going into this as the heel.

I've seen multiple sites say he's the heel going into this Sunday, also saw this morning where someone said Kane is going to interfere on Taker's behalf and give Taker the dirty win over Lesnar. Not sure where it goes after that. Who really wants to see Kane/Lesnar?

I could go for Lesnar retiring Kane in the mask, one match and finish it.

The way WWE is promoting them on social media right now leads me to think they are back for a good while. Probably similar to what the New Age Outlaws did not long ago.
