Raw preview, Feb. 20, 2017: Titans collide as Braun Strowman takes on Big Show in Los Angeles

Braun Strowman will get the competition he craves this Monday night when he meets the 7-foot-tall Big Show one-on-one. Can The World’s Largest Athlete withstand the onslaught of The Monster Among Men?
Strowman and Big Show to battle on Raw



Braun Strowman demands competition, and Raw General Manager Mick Foley — try as he might — hasn’t been able to satisfy the goliath’s thirst for combat. That might all change this Monday night, however, when The Monster Among Men meets the 7-foot-tall Big Show one-on-one in the center of the ring.

Big Show is no stranger to Strowman’s superhuman strength, having been eliminated by the juggernaut in this year’s Royal Rumble Match. As for Strowman, he’ll be going up against a leaner, meaner Big Show, whom many would argue is in the best shape of his career. Will the veteran teach Strowman what it means to be a giant, or will The Monster Among Men pick up some massive momentum en route to his WWE Fastlane clash with Roman Reigns?
Is Bayley’s Raw Women’s Championship victory tainted?



This past Monday night, Bayley’s childhood dream came true when she pinned Charlotte Flair’s shoulders to the mat for the three-count and captured her first Raw Women’s Championship. However, it’s unlikely that dream included a last-minute assist from a friend, Sasha Banks, who attacked The Queen with her crutch moments before The Huggable One scored the pinfall.

Granted, The Boss was simply evening the odds after Dana Brooke rushed to ringside to aid Charlotte, but Bayley clearly had no intention of winning her first Raw Women’s Title under those circumstances based on her Twitter exchange with The Queen.
Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho: Best friends no more



WWE’s first “Festival of Friendship” ended in calamity when WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens callously attacked his supposed best friend, Chris Jericho, and sent the United States Champion to the hospital.

The true extent of Jericho’s injuries is unknown at this time, though one thing is certain: Jeri-KO is no more. Now, The Prizefighter is truly alone as he prepares to defend his title against Goldberg at WWE Fastlane. Will Owens soon regret betraying the only friend he had in the Team Red locker room?
Who can stop Samoa Joe?



Triple H’s “Destroyer” continued to live up to his moniker this past Monday night on Raw, ambushing Sami Zayn during a post-match interview, tossing him into the screen on the stage and locking The Underdog from the Underground in the dreaded Coquina Clutch submission hold.

The attack came after Zayn called Samoa Joe a “sellout,” alluding to The Samoan Submission Specialist’s association with The Game. As Zayn looks to gain momentum on The Road to WrestleMania, will he retaliate against Joe this Monday night, or will Joe’s destruction continue unabated?

Don’t miss any of the action on Monday Night Raw, live at 8/7 C on USA Network.

Looking forward to some development from Owens after last week. Plus more Joe destroying shit.

Judging by.

The preview.
The lack of custom plates for her title.
The fact that they still haven't changed her picture on WWE.com.

I'd say I'm 90% sure that's happening. I'd much prefer that idea than simply hot-potatoing the belt right back to Charlotte at Fastlane.

You know what? I'd be okay with Reigns costing Strowman the match here. I don't think Strowman loses any credibility by losing to one of the biggest superstars in history and it furthers the Reigns/Strowman feud.

I think the whole unbeaten shtick is very limited anyway so a loss here and there isn't going to do any harm to a performer like Strowman.

Looks like we're going to have to wait until after Fastlane before Rollins is back in the picture. I'm okay with that though, as absence does make the heart grow fonder. He should get a nice pop when he returns.

I wish Triple H were making more of an effort to stay on TV though. More and more I'm starting to think he just craves getting big pops, rather than actually building storylines.

Road to Wrestlemania Raw headlined by Chris Jericho, Braun Strowman and The Big Show.

What fucking year and promotion is this again?

Looking forward to the aftermath of Owens attack on Jericho last week. It's best for Jericho to stay off tv for a couple of weeks to sell the attack, but part of me wants to see him make an appearance. Also looking forward to Joe continuing to wreak havoc. Is Lesnar advertised for tonight?

I hope Roman faces the tag team champs again for shits and gigz. Last week was too funny with everyone fuckin bitching about it.
 
#29 ·
People were “bitching” because it was stupid and a giant waste of time.

The match ended in DQ, rendering everything during the match meaningless. Gallows and Anderson were never going to win and Roman winning would have just made them look like even bigger chumps.

But yeah, do it again just for shits and giggles and waste even more time.

I knew Seth wouldn't be on Raw, but damn I'm missing him. One of my main reasons to watch WWE isn't here :(

Raw last week was good, so let's hope this week can be too. Or at least decent.

I am interested in the fallout of KO and Jericho though.
