Luke Harper is 100% my favourite thing happening right now.
Plus is it just me or has he put some muscle on recently?

I feel like Styles/Harper next week will end up with Orton helping Harper win, then convincing Bray he needs to be in the match
aaaaand sadly AJ gets stuck with Shane

Quick Thoughts:
- The execution of the finish to the Battle Royal was horrendous. - Actually shocked they are going through with this stupid Cenas/Mizanins tag match at WrestleMania. - Sad that AJ is relegated to Shane for Mania. I understand it's high profile, but the guy carried Smackdown all year and had tons of incredible matches and now, you want to do a glorified squash match at Mania??? Pretty awful. - I like Bliss getting the title, but there is really nobody left to face but Becky yet again. - The Usos are hilarious. I don't know if their intent during that promo was to be funny but goddamn I was cracking up.

So happy that Alexa is champ again. Not happy Naomi had to get an injury for it to happen, but it is what it is.
Also very happy that Luke Harper is FINALLY getting a push. He's so talented. He deserves to be in the upper part of the card. Him and AJ Styles are going to tear the roof off the place next week!

So Shane will ref their match next week, and give Harper the win pissing off AJ? I do think it will end up being a triple threat, not just Orton/Bray.

God I hate Nattie. Did anyone else hear her tell Nikki "Good job!" after that dropkick? Way to stay in character during a vicious battle.

I do have to comment though that I watched the spot numerous times on my DVR and what I think happened was that Luke's left foot and one of AJ's foot touched the ground first, but that Luke couldn't get his right foot to come of the apron fast enough. I think the idea was either for Luke to suplex aj on the Apron as opposed to the floor, or for AJ to keep one foot in the air longer than the other. The idea was fine, but it needed to be perfectly executed by both men. Just didn't happen here.

Natalya is just such a bad actor, it hurts. Also her telling Nikki ''good job'' didn't help... The ending of that match was a pleasent suprise though. I'm okay with Cenikki vs Mizanins at Mania.

I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if they booked it to be 50/50, or, at best 60/40 in favor of AJ. Styles will likely get the win, but I would bet they're going to make Shane look like a credible opponent. Shane is going to look like an idiot, too, because the crowd is going to cheer for AJ. That's probably why they're doing this in the first place, honestly.

I'm not saying that Shane can hold anything close to AJ's ability when to comes to the actual 'wrestling' portion, but if there is one thing Shane has shown through every one of his matches, it's the amount of punishment he can take. I don't see Shane getting the upper hand for large portions of the match, but highly doubt it'll be a short match. I see AJ struggling to put him away and has to bust a blood vessel to put him away. By way of that, it would class Shane as a 'credible' I'd say, and to be fair, he should be in that respect. As with any of Shane's matches, would love a stipulation to this.

I think he knew this push was coming. Ambrose appears to be bulking up once again as well. He's starting to look like he did in The Shield compared to how skinny he got last year.

I think by the end of it Shane/AJ will be highly entertaining, but there are just so many better choices out there which pisses people off. I still don't quite understand why they didn't just hold off on Styles/Cena for Cena's 16th win. They could still go about with the Wyatt triple threat and put Ziggler against Shane if they are dead set on Shane wrestling. AJ deserves another classic matchup, not just a McMahon.

Man.
If that last few minutes with Styles, Harper and Ambrose was a little less botchy that would have been IMO the best "Battle Royal" ever. It was booked so damn good.
Haven't seen one that well booked since Mania 30.

The choices are AJ vs Shane McMahon in one of the featured attractions, AJ being the third/fourth wheel in the Wyatts storyline, or AJ in one of the "get everyone on the card" multi-man midcard matches. Because they had a big venue booked for the Rumble, and Cena's gone again after WrestleMania anyway so he can't be champion then.

Oh, please. Raw hardly ever has decisive endings. They always end in controversy.

While I don't like to see anyone get injured, I'm glad Alexa is champion again. She should never have lost it in the first place.
