Good show overall.

Belair and Edge winning were fine choices.

And the Yoko doc is fantastic.

Rumble was good overall, but the first two matches did not set this off to a flying start.

Glad to see Goldberg lose, but it really had zero as a storyline moving forward; was kind of a waste of time. I had read months ago that Goldberg still had two appearances left on his contract, so I guess they’re just burning them off.

Sasha/Carmella was average at best, and not because of Sasha.

Reigns/Owens was a lot better than I thought it would be, and I thought it would at least be good. The ending was kind of fucked up, but it didn’t take away from the match.

I liked both Rumbles, but I thought the women’s was better. My girl Rhea got some shine, and Bianca deserved to get the W. I did like the ending of the men’s, and it certainly changes some predicted storylines going into WM.

Does Lashley losing title without getting pinned mean they are moving him on? Or does this just mean another Riddle/Lashley match at Mania?

I’m thinking Lashley/McIntyre at Wrestlemania.

Meh. Surely he does not keep that til Mania

Drew probably beats him before that and faces Lashley at WM.

Gives them a match at Fastlane in a month.

Didn't they just do that same thing with Drew? Beat him for the title and then have him win it right back? Was it Orton?

Yep

wouldve liked to see Cesaro hold it a little while before Mania. Miz is just too good in the scheming rat role. This will benefit both Lashley and Drew. Lashley gets a push and will likely be seen as the good guy against Miz. Drew's ongoing run was becoming a little stale; with the new story and coming back and winning it again at Mania in front of a crowd could help

BRO, Cesaro is not a good fit for the title BRO. If I was booking Fastlane BRO, it would be Lashley and the Miz in the main event with Maryse on a pole wearing nothing but a bikini and the title BRO.

BRO, that would be huuge ratings BRO.

Big Show to AEW.

Slowing turning into WCW 1994...

Whatever. I'll watch it because I have nothing better to do.

Show going to do commentary on their 3rd tier YouTube show is fine. If he gets a couple matches a year, that's okay too.

_________________

Yeah, I doubt he will do much wrestling. He's done interviews the last couple years basically implying he's done besides maybe a one-off tag match here and there.

_________________

Yep. Maybe he puts over Wardlow or Archer or something like that.

I guess I'm not sure why they had Lashley beat Strowman on Sunday. I know Lashley and MVP are more polished for prime-time, but since Strowman came back, he looks in great shape and should be more of a story line than the fall guy each time.

Probably to get Lashley in a one on one match with Miz. Put the belt on Lashley and let Drew chase into Mania.

_________________

I was thinking Miz wouldn't have it by then anyway.

Miz should lose to Lashley whenever their match is. Either Monday or at Fastlane.

_________________

I thought this upcoming Monday was Drew getting a re-match? TBH honest, I missed Monday Night Raw this week as I was out busy.

I have no idea either. Haha.

Nope. Drew wasn't even on Raw; could be that he's selling the beatdown by Lashley. Maybe Drew challenges the Miz at Fastlane or he faces Sheamus at that show.

Well, Miz will be a ragdoll to Lashley. He'll probably get a few of his staple cheap shots in, but Bobby will simply over power him and throw him around in the Hurt Lock.

I'm not really sold on the McIntyre/Seamus thing honestly.
