I can get behind a Shield heel turn. Raw could definitely use a few.

I just watched the Raw main event. The announcers made mention that the bell never sounded in order to make it an official match. So maybe Brawn gets another shot?

Maybe this is the start of some stables/factions/groups. Brawn goes and teams up with Ziggler and McIntyre. It could be fun.

Correct. Wasnt an official cash in.

To start a match, both opponents have to be standing on their feet, which Roman was not (leaning against the ropes). I could see them changing the Shield to be heel, would go with Dean Ambrose's new attitude.

Don't think Braun goes with Ziggler/McIntyre, he seems to be like an Undertaker/Stone Cold type character where he is a lone wolf and the value is in the disruption and havoc they reap. In that respect, Braun may never really be a title holder much like Taker/Kane. Would not surprise me though if Balor joined up with them though and continued the rivalry with Roman (was just very random to do a one week title match without any followup).

On an unrelated note, I was very disappointed with what is going on in the RAW Women's division. The division seemed to be building and had many strong characters. Enter Rousey (who I enjoy watching wrestle), and WWE has seem to thrown it all away and turn into the Stephanie/Rousey division. Sasha/Bayley are irrelevant now and I frankly don't care about the characters at all.

Additionally, the current tag division is a joke. B Team is a fun gimmick, but the tag team matches have turned into the bathroom break I used to take during the cruiserweight matches on RAW.

That said, last night's RAW was the first time in a long time I was excited and wanting to see what will happen next week. The main event had a lot of energy and I actually though Balor had a chance to pull it off.

Forget Stroman partnering with DZ and DM.

Unite him with Finn "the Demon" Balor and reunite him with Bray Wyatt and kick The Shield into oblivion.

If not Finn, then there was enough acrimony between Lashley and Reigns to make that the trifecta of choice to beat down The Shield. It's interesting that they've spent so much time trying to make a "face" out of Rollins to throw it away with one ill-advised move like this.

Glad to see New Day pick the belts back up.

Rowan got hurt sunday, so he will probably be out for awhile. Main reason belts changed hands tonight.

Same here. I didn't see that coming at all, especially with Big E not at ringside. I'm wondering if his ribs actually were hurt. He wasn't gyrating with the normal enthusiasm after they won.

Where did you see Rowan got hurt Sunday? He looked fine out there to me.

I just finished watching Miz & Mrs (don't judge me) and was cracking up when they got broken down in Texas and the Miz goes "Where does spending buttloads of money get ya? Sometimes it gets you a broken down bus in JUNCTION, Texas. Yeehaw!".

Not gonna lie. We watch it too. It's more entertaining than Raw is most nights.

Its a bicep injury. WWE.com recognized it today. Saw the info monday on the dirt sheet sites.

I hear Bray will be repackaged

Just saw this from today. I love that my favorite wrestler of all time is a "Waffle House kinda guy".

Anyone watching All In tonight?

Not tonight but will be probably Monday night

I'm gonna do my best to avoid spoilers. I know njpw world is offering it for free after it airs. So I'll watch it there tomorrow probably

With all the advertising of HBK on Raw tomorrow I wonder what the odds are of him being a guest referee for the Taker vs HHH match in Australia

All In was really good

WWE is so desperate to make Roman a face and put him over that it's pathetic.

And holy crap, could Brie Bella possibly look worse in the ring?

So the Undertaker was just on Raw. Who else missed it

It was definitely a surprise, he and HBK has the crowd in their palms. Such an awesome segment

Did y'all see HBKs arms/biceps? The dude has been training hard. Maybe for "one more match"?

HBK vs. Undertaker at WrestleMania. I'm calling it now.

Watching now and that's exactly what I said too

Poor Finn

Haven't wat he's in almost 2 years...HBK vs Taker at Wrestlemania would make me skip my anniversary

You married somebody that scheduled it around Wrestlemania time?

Wolfpac turned his back on the Wolfpac

Not surprising considering his promo on Raw, but lost of rumors are flying around today that HBK will come out of retirement for 1 maybe even 2 more matches.

It would make sense. I noticed last night that they just released a brand new HBK shirt in the WWE store.

That Saudi money.....

HBK has always been my favorite wrestler. I can't believe it's been 8 years since his last match. I would love one more match from him. I will gladly pay my 9.99 to watch that ppv.

So, Mick Foley is the guest ref for Strowman vs. Reigns. I see one or possibly both of the following things happening.

1. Foley takes a big bump as a reminder of his HIAC match with Taker.

2. Strowman beats up Foley, Reigns saves him and wins the match to retain the belt in WWE Creative's last bit, desperate bid to get Roman over as a face.

3. Roman then attacks Foley because creative realizes he will always be boo'd as a singles wrestler so might as well make him a heel
