Why is Orton doing Dark segments and Live Events but cant be on the show. Not really much of a shocking return if he keeps popping up off tv. Creative has nothing for him/ wants to drag him vs Rollins out to mania |

Great Raw tonight! Rollins is clearly the focal point of RAW and he delivered again. Cesaro was hilariously bad on the mic but had a great performance. My boy Rusev sold like a beast, Ryback delivered a solid promo and their storyline progressed nicely tonight. Thankfully D Bryan is going to be able to continue wrestling and Brock is finally showing up. Oh yeah, and The Authority is back. 10/10 MNR and hopefully they continue all the way to WM31.

Since Rollins had to take a running start to du the curb stop, couldn't Cena just have attacked him without putting the Authority back in power?

There's still hope for AJ/Steph at Mania dammit.
Rollins has officially filled the void that heel Punk had left. I love this guy. Glad the Authoritie's back, but I'm not so excited for hearing Triple H murder "here's the thing" and "DIS BUSINESS" for twenty minutes.

Did USA cut Raw off or something? They did go way over 11pm. If not, having Orton return off air in incredibly IDIOTIC. No surprise there.

They were kinda already pushing it on the returns for the night. Save Orton for the rumble or something. Why is everyone in such a rush to see him back? So we can complain about how stale he is in a few weeks? The ending was EXCELLENT imo. Didn't think we would se Authority return so soon. Especially at the expense of EDGE of all people. Pretty cool $hit. Authority coming back is fitting. What are we gonna have random celeb guest hosts every week? The authority got cut too soon to begin with. So I'm glad they are back. They could've botched the Cena bringing back the authority badly. And I think it was executed very nicely. And made Rollins look like the New Age Cerebral Assassin. . I couldn't of predicted in a million years that Seth Rollins would become such a good heel. But he is turning out to be the best ing top heel in YEARS ! Totally the future of the biz. And I still can't get over Bryans moment. Holy crap. I would've been elated with him simply announcing a return in a few months , but he's 100% NOW?! HES GONNA BE IN THE FREAKING RUMBLE?! Late Christmas miracle for sure man. We ALL thought he was finished. |

So we can complain about how stale he is in a few weeks? No. To be one of the top faces in the company. Also, stale? He hasn't been stale in years. He executes every time he's in the ring. By stale, his noteworthy matches with Cena are, yes. But Randy Orton is not. His heel turn with The Authority has been the best thing he's been since his gimmick as the Legend Killer. His feud with Christian in 2010 was great. His feud with HHH in 2009 was great as well. Orton is far from stale. His stable with DiBiase, and Rhodes would've been one of the best trio's in WWE history if WWE wouldn't have flushed it down the toilet. He's not reached his career peak yet. He still has many years to go. The man is only 34. John Cena is 37. Not saying 37 is an incredible number, but Orton hasn't been pushed to the moon and back like Cena has. Orton's character can grow so much. Also, he did have a long slump for 3 years or so. After winning MITB in 2013, he rose up to become the biggest heel in the business. |

Don't get me wrong your talking to someone who was borderline OBSESSED with Orton in 2004. I got my hair cut just like him I wanted to be just like him. I just see a lot of people call him "boring and stale "and as you said he is still SO young and has SO much time left. So rushing him back really isn't needed. Especially on a night where we saw returns of Daniel Bryan , Bad News Barrett, and The Authority. I personally would rather them save Orton vs Rollins for WM so that both men have a solid program at the big event. But if Orton comes back now then they'll likely rush that feud for Rumble or fast lane at the latest. Leaving Orton probably in limbo for mania. Which would stink seeing as he main evented last year. But I guess Now we have something to look forward to next Week. |

Enjoyed Raw but I thought the final segment was going to go a completely different way. When Rollins invited Brock out then Big Show came down I thought for sure he was going to try and cash in, then Randy Orton would come in to prevent it. Authority back in power after a month seems a bit pointless. Yes to Bryan and BNB though, and I was glad people got to hear Rybacks story it was great hearing it on Talk is Jericho.

As of the past few months I've been so bored with WWE it's almost felt like a chore to watch Raw. And Im pretty easy to please usually. But God tonight was something special. Seriously from top to bottom I was completely enthralled. Edge and Christian and Lesnar to start off. . Rybacks FANTASTIC promo. ..Cesaros mini Pipebomb and BNB return .... Title change (I kinda like Usos as tag champs. )..... DANIEL ING BRYAN with the best announcement he could've possibly made !! (Still freaking out ) ......The RISE OF THE ASCENSION to the main roster !!!!(and the amazing ultrapost that followed @jwanderson ) .....Edge finally getting physical again after nearly 5 years of being Untouched. ....Rollins becoming the new HHH.. And bringing back the old HHH and the AUTHORITY. They reminded me why I love this crap so much!! I love nights like tonight. Offically in Road to Mania mode! |

It would really help if they stopped playing entrance music for run ins and surprise appearances every time. They just come across as part of the show not an interruption. And I hate the stage it dwarfs the action in the ring, theres a reason UFC doesn't have anything like that, the fighters and octagon are the stars. There are so many little things they used to pay attention to and don't anymore. Stuff like tag ropes, I know they put them back, but they just seemed to have dismantled stuff that worked well for seemingly no reason. Why you no do as I remember WWE?  Just watched RAW, actually some pretty good stuff. And I see Cena did come out at the end with no music! |

Solid Raw IMO. The Authority is back in power! We'll have better storylines, I hope.
