Or just make her rip off the Cena playbook more blatantly. Less coming off like she'd rather be in a pillowfight or building a fort right now, more hustle, loyalty and respect and calling out people like Alexa selling out their morals to get to the top.

HHH v Kurt Angle
Braun v Miz

Multiman tag team Raw ladder match
Randy Orton v Bobby Roode

Those would my guesses to fill out the card , but it does leave a lot of Smackdown guys out. New Day especially since they didn’t have a match last year.


My problem with Rousey vs Charlotte at Wrestlemania is Rousey can't lose, and she can't win because she's not even close to being ready, after this Wrestlemania Rousey should be out of sight and training for years like Lana after she was in that outdoors Wrestlemania (and she still wasn't ready after she came back). HHH/Stephanie tag match seems to protect her most

Shane will have a big-ish match... heel Orton vs Shane?

For a while I thought they could be heading for Miz vs Angle since the promos could be about he's a better father than Angle was with Jason Jordan. It would be one of those soap opera storylines that has no match quality expectations on Angle if he looks as bad as he did at Survivor Series. But enough people seem be predicting HHH/Angle and if Miz is IC champion by then it's unlikely he's headed that way. Plus HHH has lost a few Wrestlemanias in a row so daddy needs a win, Angle is a good candidate

Where does Rollins go if Ambrose is really out 9 months... Braun? Multi man IC title?

Samoa Joe vs Braun Strowman? One of few credible physical threats for Braun

Tag titles - The Bar vs babyface tag team Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt. Or the Authors of Pain show up
My card is already busted. Looks like Ronda/??? V HhH/Steph will be the big match. Asuka v Alexa makes no sense though, so I think Nia gets that match with Asuka going to Smackdown to face Charlotte. Who knows with the men other than Roman and Nakamura challenging Brock and AJ for the titles.

Didn't think I'd see Jeff Jarrett anywhere near WWE again. There's hope for everyone.

Novel idea to devote half of RAW to a gauntlet. I'm not sure where Braun is going. He needs to be the challenger to Brock and win at Mania, but I can see them going with Reigns and/or Cena. Possibly a triple threat, since Cena seems like he's on the way out, or at least to a part-time gig.

By the way, where did "Get these hands" come from? How is this suddenly Braun's catchphrase?

The episode that Angle fired him for like an hour. He was attacking the guards backstage and said you're going to "get these hands" (I believe he said it multiple times that night while on his rampage). I don't know if it was planned, but either way, it definitely stuck with the audience.

Post Re: Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH)
I don't dispute that Roman Reigns is a lot better than the crowd gives him credit for. He's by no means any better than, say, John Cena. But he's not an abomination.

Yet, I don't understand the incessant need to push him into main event positions at Wrestlemania without ever changing his character. After Mania, he had what was easily one of the best heel reactions in a long time, but he just lapsed back into his standard "Big Dog" act, playing up as a babyface but getting constant heel reactions. It's lazy that WWE doesn't change that. With Cena, they needed a star and they had him. But Roman isn't John Cena. They have too many other names that must do as well or better. Roman should have went full heel. Sure, the crowd would cheer him then, but it's better than pretending he's something else.

Oh yeah, there's nothing wrong with Roman as a wrestler. It is His opinion of Roman that the crowd is booing. It is His need to book Roman in the main event 4 years in a row as some sort of revenge for how the Daniel Bryan story turned out. Ever since the Rumble, WWE has been shifting away from fan-spite booking, so there is hope that something else happens in the main event. But it is a fool's hope.

Nia/Alexa and Asuka/Charlotte definitely makes more sense than Asuka/Alexa and Charlotte/whoever. Don't know how they'd get there though, Nia wins by DQ tonight? I read someone suggest Nia vs Alexa - non-title, Sasha vs Bayley for the Raw title, and Charlotte vs Asuka for the SD title.

Post Re: Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH)
WWE does it to themselves. For a whole year, they build these guys that deserve a shot, only to go with what is guaranteed to get booed out of the building at Wrestlemania. This will be our second time getting Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns, our fourth consecutive main-event featuring the extremely polarizing Roman Reigns (unless they go with the equally-polarizing Ronda Rousey), and yet another year where WWE goes with the boring, safe choice.

But hey, at least Braun looked strong in the match. That's always their fallback answer. Oh Roman won, but Braun looked so good in that match! He'll look even better when he inevitably wrestles Big Show or Kane at Mania.

Solid Elimination Chamber.

I was honestly surprised that Alexa retained. WWE seemed to have lost interest in her since she has barely been on TV or in any televised matches since October, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity to give the title to Sasha once again. We appear to be getting closer and closer to a needed Sasha heel turn, and it would have been awesome to see Asuka feud with and challenge Champion heel Sasha for the next 6 weeks.

A few takeaways:

>I guess we're going to get a multi-women (triple threat, fatal four or more) Raw Women's Title Match at Mania again this year. I'd love to see it just be Nia challenge Alexa, and win, but I doubt that'll happen. If it is a multi-women match again, I really hope Nia comes out on top... finally.

>Asuka choosing to challenge Charlotte for the Smackdown title is very likely now that Rousey won't be getting a title match at Mania. Asuka vs. Alexa just isn't going to get anyone excited since Asuka already has a win over Alexa in their non-title match a couple months ago. Asuka versus Charlotte is the biggest main event caliber match the women's division can get this year at Mania. And assuming Asuka wins the Smackdown title and moves to Smackdown, it'd continue to keep her streak safe for awhile longer, and avoid any Asuka/Rousey showdown if they're on separate programs.

>Angle is probably replacing the Rock as Rousey's rumored tag partner versus HHH and Stephanie at Mania given what happened last night.

>I don't think Strowman is out of the title picture, and thus the Mania main event just yet. Making the Universal Title match a triple threat is probably for the best, even if we've already had a similar match or two last summer that involved all three guys.

Post Re: Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH)
-Reigns cut a decent promo for once. I'm assuming this was planned, advertising Brock and saying he no-showed. Gives Roman good ammunition to try and sway the audience in his favour. Unfortunately those who boo him are the people who cheer Brock, so it's a lost cause. But I will give credit that he did a good, brief promo that said what so many are thinking.

-Seems like Cena vs. Undertaker is happening. I'm mixed. Not that Taker will come back again, but that his streak isn't still alive. Since we're long past the point of Brock ending the streak having any relevance, it would have been nice to have Cena come out in the later stages of his career and want to achieve one last thing he and no one else has. Brock and Roman beat him to it twice. But it's still a cool dream Mania match.

-Ronda Rousey has a long way to go. Putting her with Kurt Angle against Triple H and Stephanie will be an interesting choice and will guarantee some good will pops against The Authority, but once she's in the actual division, going to be interesting to see if she can sustain interest.

I wonder if there's a way John Cena could win the WWE Championship at Fastlane and Randy Orton could steal Shinsuke Nakamura's title opportunity so we could really save Wrestlemania 34.

It just seems so outside the realm of possibility that they will keep Styles and Nakamura in tact for Mania. Styles and Nakamura is what could save what will otherwise be a mediocre-at-best Mania. I didn't like the slight "point at Mania sign" moment between Nakamura and Cena either. That's not the money match.

Rumor says that WWE sees Braun as over big, especially to pull off side-splitting WWE comedy. The only time he should be doing comedy is with Alexa Bliss for their Mixed Match Challenge promos. It would strongly diminish him to partake in many comedy segments. Unless WWE hires legit comedy writers, and even then, what the fuck, this is WWE, not Comedy Central.

Undertaker is proof you can get over without succumbing to becoming a walking joke. I don't want to see Braun come out and start cutting promos where he talks about how small some guy's balls are, or calling other guys a "little bitch". Standard WWE fare to get cheap crowd pops.

I do seriously hope (fuck, never thought I'd say these words) that Roman Reigns wins the title at Mania. I need Brock Lesnar to take an extended break and when he does come back, only as a non-title holder. Look at guys like Rollins, Balor, Samoa Joe, Strowman. They should all have had a title run in the past year, or at least challenged for it. But they've all been held down because you can't feud with an absent champion, and even when you do (for Joe and Strowman), you aren't winning the title.

Rollins could be getting a top-level push, but now he's bound for an IC title match. I'm not complaining, the IC and US titles should hold more value. But it's weird to see guys like Rollins and Orton in these mid-level title matches. Not to mention they're taking that moment away from someone else who could use the spot.

Lesnar's contract details should be rumored/leaked in the coming days/weeks, so we'll know if he'll retain the Universal Title or not soon. He's made what, like 6 or 7 Raw appearances, and had 4 title defenses in a year?

I can't recall last when any title has been so irrelevant.

Post Re: Wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH)
It's so crazy to think how much they're bending over backwards for him. He doesn't need that title. He could do an Undertaker-style run from a few years ago where he wrestles four times a year and not hold the title. People will still pay to see Lesnar. You put the title on someone who needs it to stay relevant. He would still be a name without it, so why waste it?

It's crazy to think it started so promisingly, with Finn Balor winning the title. Kevin Owens held it and made it a strong championship, until Goldberg took it and then gave it to Brock. I'm not sure if they see it as some UFC-WWE hybrid, where the champion only defends a small number of dates a year, but this isn't UFC.
