Absolutely because oh look, Bryan's in the EC, things might be different this time!!! They weren't the first 50 times, but 51 is the charm!

I honestly don't think they have a motivation other than that they're heels, building to a match with Cena, so they need to run in and hit him regardless of logic.
I think a good route to go would be to take on the Shield, play mind games with them throughout Feb. and take credit for splitting them up at ES. Get some groundswell for Wrestlemania.

2 heel factions is a little overkill, and the Wyatts are impossible to like. Looks like they'll set up Reigns and Rollins to be together and Dean will need to strike out on his own if they dissolve. It makes sense, really, to do it like that. Reigns ain't ready for singles work, and those two can be really likable.
Raw was decent. Much better than the last 2 weeks which were just terrible. 3 hours is way too long though. It's just too much. This'll be the last Raw I actually watch. I'll just check the segments I want to watch when I can be arsed. I don't know how long they've been doing this, but 2 hours is best. This should would be so much better if it was just condensed it to 2 hours.

Raw won't be the same after the shield
Break up. They have been the one bright spot since their debut.

Ziggler vs Rollins best of 5, King of the Ring, US belt, IC belt, etc.
Then.
Now.
Forever.
I just want to see them try to outsell each other.

That's an amazing sell of the brogue kick.
Dean ded
Ryder WISHES he was still on job duty.
Roman Reigns is turning face soon, and they've been building a Shield breakup for about three months now. I don't expect the Shield to last past WM.

I agree, coming back to watching sporadically I really can't go 3 hours, it's just asking way too much from any viewer. Plus at least an hour of the show is shite anyway so whats the point really.

If Bray and nobody from the Shield is in the EC then I wonder who fills out the final 2 spots. Lesnar seems like a lock but no idea who the 6th person is.
God I hope its not Big Show.

Yeah I can see that, doesn't mean I have to like it. I really enjoy The Shield, hell they are one of the reasons I started watching again. Sure things have run their course but damn are they fun as a group.

People think there was crowd noise tampering? Isn't it more likely that Cleveland is just full of dumbfucks?

hbk will have orgasms on the sells
They at the very least funneled in fake dueling Cena chants in. The crowd was solid as stone when the chants were heard. It was MEGA fake.

You could have fast forwarded all the bullshit tonight and been left with about 20 minutes of show. I'm out again. If something cool happens I'm sure I'll hear about it. I'll check dirt sheet sites after Raw and watch the segments where Undertaker/Hogan/Sting show up. Sitting through 3 hours of dreck doesn't appeal to me. Also, another fuck you for WWE muting the DB chants. Whole crowd was doing yes with their fingers at the end and you couldn't hear shit.

He's suffering from damaged motivation. He's expected to recover sometime after NHL playoff season.

My guess is they put Bryan in Punks spots just guessing from the HHH confrontation at the start

Does that gig pay well? Better than astroturfing for Xbox One?
Because I could always go for a second income.
You'll be a happier person without the weekly torture of Monday Night RAW in your life. Good for you, BoboBrazil.

He really needs like a month off.
Kane put him through an announce table at the Rumble, I assume he was off to sell that.

Now they have a clear road to set up Shield versus Whyatts at EC.
But that isnt happening.

Jeeeezus at the Punk fanclub on here. Why don't the rest of the roster deserve the night off? It's not like he works any harder than them :lol
I think a match between the two groups could happen at the EC PPV, and that's where the breakup between The Shield will begin due to as you mention, Ambrose messing things up. What will the 3 members do at Mania, though? Triple Threat match seems likely.

I know that feeling. Been doing a similar dirt sheet, forum, youtube clips to see what I want (which wasn't much for years). I'll be back out of it after Mania.
I have really enjoyed lurking the shit out of these OT threads for a few months. Last nights Rumble OT got me to actually start posting in them.

You're right. The rest of the roster deserved the night off. Hell they deserve a nice long vacation after these rough few days.
In fact, why doesn't the rest of WWE take a vacation? Especially Vince. I hear Belize is nice this time of year.
That's why he needs a month off. Dude looks tired and bored.

Vince isn't taking any vacations until he's in a casket of some kind.
In fact, he'll probably have RAW & the pay-per-views wired to a screen inside the casket so he can continue to book matches from beyond the grave for at least a couple years once he's in there.
If Al Davis can run the Raiders for a couple decades as a zombie, Vince McMahon can surely remain a part of Creative for at least a couple years before he decomposes too much.

Naw, just during the opening segment it seemed pretty clear that the audience didn't have any fucking idea what they were doing. They were handheld through that Authority/Brine segment and still managed to miss 90% of the cues.
