Official New Year, New Champ? RAW Thread 1/4

I'm still awake cause I just got done with Wrestle Kingdom 10.

Your move, WWE.

I'm looking forward to raw tonight. Got my Ric Flair shirt in the mail today.

I'm only here for The New Day & Renee Young.




And the chance The Bunny returns.

Maybe if you wait about 7-10 hours.

The most likly outcome, "Roman Reigns over comes the odds and retains the title"..............ugh, that'll put butts in the seats.

Realistically, WWE should tout this particular episode as the "season premiere" that they like to throw around in September. Historically, the first episode of the year is the biggest reset or ramp-up that we see, perhaps second only to the night after Wrestlemania.

With that being said, I don't expect much out of tonight. I think they believe they sold the show with the title match and another Vince McMahon appearance. While I applaud them announcing the match a week in advance, I think we all pretty much know where this is going, and there's absolutely no juice in Roman Reigns vs. Sheamus. They spent whatever little good will that match had already between TLC and the next night on Raw.

The only thing that interests me is the trajectory of the title of the next few months. Surely they don't think they can get away with another PPV title match between Roman and Sheamus, Rumble being the headliner or not. That means they either have to spend the Triple H match now (which I don't see happening), or throw another underdeveloped opponent at Reigns that will draw as much apathy as Sheamus. As usual, they've booked themselves into a corner.

The Bunny Club has too many members and should have ended last night.

For the first time ever i hope Cena wins a title.

Well because of work I'll be here a bit late. Doubt I'll miss much though.
