please. for all that is holy. Let Austin Theory steal Cena's finisher and adopt it as his new finisher for the rest of his career. After Mania would it work though? Cena could hit anyone with the AA, is Theory strong enough to do so?

If Bianca can lift Otis in a firemans carry...Theory can too

Seth Rollies got those dumb Astro Boy boots! Seth looks like he's about to Mario/Astro Boy his ass out the arena. They got people talking, so I guess there's that.

Outside of that Cody/Sami segment, that RAW pretty much sucked.
Saturday should be a great show though! That’s what really matters.

Im so sick of Super Bianca Belair. Asuka just needs to demolish her at Mania. Also Pearce is making me long for the days of Foley/Stephanie

Hope Bianca vs Asuka is the Wrestlemania plan and I hope Bianca wins.

Corbin vs Top Dolla in a pink slip on a pole match makes sense at this point

How's that for a justified "this is awesome" chant Tony Khan. For a show that wasn't even at its best tonight but was still better than yours. Hatred huh? Grow the f up!!

Enjoyed the main event(could've done without the outside stuff) and Sami/Cody but that was about it. We're getting closer to seeing O Tis being a model and having Bum A$$ Corbin again,so that's a good thing. Just please don't make me watch him and JBL in a match Saturday should be a real fun show,really looking forward to Sami/Roman and the US chamber. Both chambers and the main event are pretty predictable but still should be good. Wouldn't have mind if they would've thrown Becky in,she definitely would've made it a better match, gave it more star power and throw a little less predictably to it. I can only see two real options,most likely one unless they try the Liv push again. I be shocked if we get a clean finish with Brock/Lashley or really even get a start to the match.

I am loving Sami Zayn's character arc right now. It's not even just the Bloodline story either anymore, its amplified by everything he's done in the past. Traditionally every character, heel or face, in a feud proclaims absolute confidence in their ability to win. No matter their size, speed or circumstances. Yet here stands Sami Zayn, who has all the momentum in the world and comes out to challenge for both titles AND he shows doubt while doing it. He shows vulnerability and that too for good reason. Roman Reigns is on a 900 day run as champion, with at least Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa in his corner. He represents legacy and has been able to defeat all challengers that include blockbuster names such as Lesnar, Cena, Orton, Undertaker, etc. Meanwhile Zayn represents humility, he was a comedy act at last year’s Wrestlemania. (still one of the best matches imo) In my eyes Zayn showing this side of him that doesn’t know if he will be able to get the job done but is determined to give it his all, that is as real as anyone can get in kayfabe. Then you have Cody in there with him giving the story a "brother to brother" angle where Cody is encouraging Sami but Sami is warning Cody to use caution. Cody as the guy guaranteed to go, Roman is the unbeatable champion, and Sami is the one who unwittingly weakened him. Zayn is fighting against all odds and his words show the fear of going against them, like most would do if faced with a similar challenge. That, in my opinion, is peak story-telling at it's best.

I liked this Cody segment a lot more than the one with Heyman last week. He can be such a great talker when he stays away from the typical Dusty promo and doesn't try to solve racism.
But man I really wish the crowd could have just let them talk instead of inserting all those chants. Drives me freaking nuts.

Has anyone thought that maybe… just MAYBE, that Sami actually wins at Chamber? Then loses it on Smackdown back to Roman because of Jey?
Then the Bloodline, destroys Sami after which “leaves” him out till Mania? Then Owens, comes back the following week, says he’ll take on the USO’s on his own at WM. Which leads to the feel good moment of Sami returning at Mania’ to win the tag titles with Owens. At the end shaking hands with Jey and Jimmy?
Whilst Cody takes the straps in the main event, leaving Roman in the ring on his own, with no Heyman to be seen?
Would still legitimately keep Reigns serious, whilst also adding a layer to the story???

Get the humongous pop for Sami winning.. call gets reversed… massive heat.. beat down ensues.. Roman wins I don’t think you have a 900 day champion and beat him before WrestleMania

Sami could hit a Helluva Kick and do the Neville/Rollins spot where he pins him so tight, that Sami unintentionally causes a rope break. You could either have it as a VERY close call, or have another ref run out and show the footage of Roman's foot on the rope after Sami "wins"

KO in the mix.. it’s all gonna play out beautifully with the Bloodline going down at Mania I’m excited for Saturday. Haven’t looked this much forward to a match finish in years

Think Roman losing to Sami at Chamber allows for the story to have that extra layer with Roman having a chink in his armour because of Sami, so Roman goes beyond god mode till Mania. Although you could be right it’s just very risky
