Went to RAW tonight and by the end of Rollins/Benjamin I instantly regretted it. The show just had no flow or pacing and sitting in the live crowd for 3 hours of promos/matches with all the commercial breaks was tiring.
Tonight's show had nearly every segmen build or tease to something, and nothing ever happened. It was a rough show, and I wish I would have went to the SDL House show that was closer to my house

Smackdown had me hooked from the start last night. Now looking on it, I'm torn.
*With Charlotte, Becky, Ronda in a triple threat to main event Mania, there is no way that they do Kofi v. Owens v. Bryan. Some sort of f***y finish will happen (Sami Zayn anyone?) and will then shift Kofi back to face Bryan 1-on-1 at Mania. *The tag division is stacked right now, so if they don't do a multi-team ladder match at Mania, what was the purpose of bringing back Matt/Jeff? *Asuka is deeply under-utilized right now. SDL's women's division is the weakest division in the company since they basically moved Becky/Charlotte to Raw. *I really hope the Stunner isn't K.O.'s finisher now, he looks ridiculous trying to do it.

Going through a projected card, if they book this correctly and give the right matches the right amount of time, this could be the best WrestleMania ever. Card is legit STACKED
* Flair/Lynch/Rousey(c) * Rollins v. Lesnar(c) * Kofi v. Bryan(c) * Batista v. Triple H w/Flair * AJ Styles v. Orton * Cena (or Angle) v. McIntyre * The Miz v. Shane McMahon * Andrade v. Rey Mysterio (Likely a Hair v. Mask) * Trish & Lita v. BossHug Connection(c) * Andre The Giant Battle Royal * Women's WM Battle Royal * Cruiserweight Title Tournament Finals
Not to mention I assume we will get both the RAW/SDL Tag Titles, and an IC Title match.

I'm oddly excited about this. I just don't like Batista as the heel and HHH as the face. Hopefully they keep Dave a tweeter with him being pissed about the Evolution reunion and him and Ric really crapting on him

If Owens gets the nod to face Bryan over Kofi, I really hope that they give Kofi the MITB and then have a New Day Triple Threat at SumnmerSlam. I see the card going this way:
Kickoff: 1. Women's WrestleMania Battle Royal 2. Cruiserweight Title Match 3. New Day v. Nakamura/Rusev v. The Bar v. The Usos(c)
Main Card 1. Rey Mysterio v. Andrade (Mask v. Hair) 2. Gargano v. Ciampa v. Black v. Lashley v. Ricochet v. Balor(c) (IC Title Ladder Match) 3. The Miz v. Shane McMahon 4. John Cena v. Drew McIntryre 5. Kevin Owens v. Daniel Bryan(c) 6. Trish & Lita v. BossHug Connection(c) (WWE Women's Title Match) 7. AJ Styles v. Randy Orton 8. Andre The Giant Battle Royal VI 9. Seth Rollins v. Brock Lesnar(c) (WWE Universal Title Match) 10. Charlotte Flair v. Becky Lynch v. Ronda Rousey(c) (WWE Raw Women's Title Match)

Not sure why they just cold debuted Ricochet, DIY, and Black tonight, in ing Lafayette of all places. The recent call ups have to be the absolute worst introductions to new wrestlers, probably in the history of the company.

Any chance Revival throw down the belts and leave? Better chance of them not being on tv for the next few weeks.

I hope and pray that they keep Lio and Lashley together and go with a gimmick where every time Lashley loses, he just ing destroys Lio. They can play the angle that Lio just wants to help and get his approval, and will take beatdowns to get it. Eventually it would push Lio as a huge babyface. I like that idea in theory, but it was technically Lio's arrogance that cost Lashley. He shouldn't really be sympathetic. I just wish they'd stop treating him like the biggest jobber on the roster. Dudes super talented, but just because he's on 205 Live he can't hang with bigger guys? Mustafa was doing well. He hasn't spent 80% of his time on Smackdown running away and using parkor to evade guys 10lbs heavier as him. If he was treated a bit better and eventually managed to fluke a pinfall victory over Lashley I'd be all for your idea though. There's a pretty big size difference between Mustafa and Lio. Ali's aboout 4-5 inches taller and about 25lbs bigger. There's a reason Lio will never be able to "hang" with the big boys.

Ya'll are crazy if you think Ronda is taking the L by pin or submission at Mania. Shes run through the entire roster and the 1 person that's gonna beat her is Becky? Cmon now. Its gonna be a triple threat. Becky is gonna get the win by beating Charlotte. It saves face for Ronda until her return. Becky gets the big pop, which will eventually go away cause no woman can stay over. Becky will either hold the title till Survivor Series or swap it with someone until Ronda gets back and then we'll hype up the "you might have won, but you never beat me" angle for Ronda and we'll do it all again next year midway through the Mania card. As a triple threat you have 2 big prime time names (Ronda & Flair) cause let's be honest, nobody outside of WWE knows who the Becky is. Mania is a media giant so they want names that people are gonna recognize. Plus seeing as this will be the first womens main event a lot of eyes will be on this so they dont want a walking botch fest with Ronda or a match filled with judo throws and rest holds to hide her in abilities in the ring. Becky winning this *should* in theory propel her closer to being a "household name" but even then if she cant maintain her position, she will fall right back to obscurity. LOL. Becky's been over her entire main roster career. Stop with that nonsense. Trish, and Lita have been over for 20 years. You're wildly wrong here lol.

Could be a good show judging by the card....BUT I'm expecting a bunch of overbooked matches with wonky finishes.

No reaction last night to Charlotte coming out should tell you all you need to know about her

Charlotte should be in the match... because if they are going to have a women's match, main event, it's not fair to exclude Charlotte - because as the most consistent female performer, these past few years, she's earnt her spot. I couldn't care less if it takes the attention off Lynch, or ruins her moment. Secondly, why should Lynch and Rousey get the spotlight and all the glory, anyway? Why are they deemed more deserving to be in that spot, than Charlotte? This goes for Rousey especially... If that whiny, entitled, bitch Rousey deserves to be in a marquee match, Charlotte sure as hell does. Why does Lynch deserve to be the one to beat Rousey? It's more believable for Charlotte to beat her anyway. From a kayfabe perspective, adding Charlotte to the match makes sense, seeing as she still has issues with Lynch, and Rousey screwed her over, by pushing her off that ladder. Some people seem to have conveniently forgotten this. On a personal note, I just can't get behind this Lynch angle. It doesn't appeal to me. To me, it's echoing the Bryan situation, where Bryan suddenly became the most deserving wrestler in history. I like Bryan, but I didn't buy into the annoying, YES movement, and I'm certainly not buying into this Becky nonsense. I've nothing against Lynch per se, but, just as I didn't view Bryan as the most deserving then, I don't view Lynch as the most deserving now. If anything, Lynch is becoming something of an irritant, as her character gets more delusional by the week. We know punk is the GOD of wrestling anyone or anything else sucks to you. Well clearly Charlotte doesn't - so nice attempt at trying to be clever, but that statement is a complete nonsense. Also, it may have escaped your notice, but Punk left five years ago - so unless he's getting added to the match, I'm not sure what he has to do with this... but again, good job at making yourself look silly. The overwhelming majority of fans could care less about Charlotte right now. It's painfully obvious they don't want her, Rousey/Lynch is what the fans want, thats why it is totally fair to leave her out. Hell dude, there's been tons of wrestlers that are consistent and great, but never get the main spot yet they deserved it. Your logic is flawed. As for kayfabe, she lost the Rumble to an injured Becky. They should have a blowoff match at Fastlane, Becky wins, Charlotte turns heel out of frustration and moves on to Asuka.

Going by the recent interviews of Rusev, I'd imagine he is as good as gone once his WWE contract is up.
Could see Nakamura going over too.

If I had to book this show I would essentially book the main card as two separate shows, with the WWE Title being the end of the "first half" of the show. Pacing is essential, and I feel like this could be a perfectly paced and mapped out show.
Kickoff Show: 1. Cruiserweight Title: Lio Rush v. Cedric Alexander v. Buddy Murphy(c) 2. Women's WM Battle Royal II (Winner: Mandy Rose) 3. SDL Tag Title Elimination Match: Rusev/Nakamura v. New Day v. Good Brothers v. The Usos (c)
Main Card: 1. The Miz v. Shane McMahon 2. U.S. Title (Ladder Match): Joe v. Hardy v. Ali v. Mysterio v. Andrade(c) 3. Intercontinental Title: Braun Strowman v. Finn Balor(c) 4. SDL Womens Title: Charlotte Flair v. Asuka(c) 5. Drew McIntryre v. John Cena 6. WWE Championship: Randy Orton v. AJ Styles v. Daniel Bryan(c) 7. Triple H v. Dean Ambrose 8. Women's Tag Titles: Trish/Lita v. Bayley/Banks(c) 9. Andre the Giant Battle Royal VI (Winner: Elias) 10. WWE Universal Title (No DQ): Seth Rollins v. Brock Lesnar(c) 11. RAW Women's Title: Becky Lynch v. Ronda Rousey(c)

I can't even imagine the WWE Title match for Mania, confusing and unpredictable as hell. Same. I can't see them doing AJ/Bryan again, but nothing else quite makes sense. They don't really have a super strong babyface other than Styles on SDL.

Hate to break it to ya, but Hall of Fame is Friday....TakeOver is Saturday bud. Not this year. This was pretty big news a couple months back when it was announced: My bad, guess that they didn't want it going head to head with the MSG ROH/NJPW show.
