Raw preview, Feb. 27, 2017: Seth Rollins addresses his condition

For the first time since being injured at the hands of Samoa Joe, Seth Rollins comes to Raw to address his condition. Will The Architect miss his second WrestleMania in a row? Also on Raw, Goldberg returns just six nights before challenging Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship at WWE Fastlane.
Seth Rollins addresses his injury



Save for posting a series of “Fight Club” quotes on Instagram for the past few Monday nights, Seth Rollins has been relatively quiet concerning his condition following Samoa Joe’s ambush that tore The Architect’s right MCL.

At this point, it seems unlikely that Rollins will be able to compete at this year’s WrestleMania. That would mean that the former WWE Champion will miss his second consecutive Show of Shows, this time thanks to Triple H’s “Destroyer.” Will Rollins confirm this unfortunate news, or will he have another message entirely for The Cerebral Assassin and The Samoan Submission Specialist?
Goldberg returns before WWE Fastlane



Universal Champion Kevin Owens has been even more ruthless than usual since he severed his friendship with Chris Jericho during their “Festival of Friendship” on Raw earlier this month. Whether this new attitude will help shield The Prizefighter from Goldberg’s onslaught, however, remains to be seen at WWE Fastlane.

As Paul Heyman revealed this past Monday night, Brock Lesnar is banking on Goldberg becoming Universal Champion, giving The Beast Incarnate just one more thing to take away from the WCW icon when they clash at WrestleMania, along with Goldberg’s “health, well-being, reputation, legacy and career.”

Meanwhile, Owens doubts Goldberg’s true abilities, and claims that at WWE Fastlane, the veteran’s “superhero fantasy” will come to an end. Can Owens back up his boasts, or will he underestimate Goldberg’s power, just as Lesnar did at Survivor Series?
Is Roman Reigns fighting a losing battle against Braun Strowman?



Roman Reigns remains one of the most dominant Superstars on Team Red, but when it comes to Braun Strowman, The Big Dog seems to lose his bite.

After brutalizing Raw Tag Team Champions Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson this past Monday night in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match, the furious Reigns attempted to attack The Monster Among Men in the wake of Strowman’s victory over Big Show, and he ultimately fell victim to the behemoth’s running powerslam. This scenario is becoming painfully familiar to Reigns in recent weeks, and it seems increasingly doubtful that the former WWE Champion has any chance of conquering Strowman when they battle at WWE Fastlane.

Can Reigns pick up some necessary momentum before his one-on-one match against this unstoppable titan?
Enzo Amore & Big Cass close in on “Big Gal” and “Andy”



What do we got over here? A cuppa No. 1 contenders? Indeed, Enzo Amore & Big Cass defeated Cesaro & Sheamus this past Monday night to earn a Raw Tag Team Championship opportunity against Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson at WWE Fastlane.

The Certified Gs already have a storied history with the so-called “good brothers,” but now that Raw’s tandem titles are on the line, something tells us the thunder-and-lightning pair will up their game this week on Raw, both in the ring and on the mic. Are the cowboys in black prepared to truly start taking this fun-loving duo seriously?
What scheme does Charlotte Flair have in store for Bayley?



In light of the controversial circumstances surrounding Bayley’s Raw Women’s Title victory on the Feb. 13 Raw — Sasha Banks attacked Charlotte Flair with her crutch when the referee wasn’t looking — The Queen demanded that The Huggable One relinquish her title. Fortunately, much to the delight of the WWE Universe, Bayley didn’t honor that demand; in fact, instead of getting the title returned to her, Charlotte received a loss at the hands of The Boss just moments later.

No doubt still furious after being forced to tap out to Bayley’s best friend’s finishing maneuver, the Bank Statement, Charlotte is likely plotting some serious mind games to get inside the new champion’s head before their Raw Women’s Title rematch at WWE Fastlane. Will the high-and-mighty Queen sink to new lows this Monday night?

Don’t miss Raw this Monday at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Crazy how they missed the boat with Joe/Cesaro. Could've been such a great match if they would've given them more time.

And the CM Punk chants at Rollins' promo... christ's sake, man. I fucking love Punk, he's my all-time favorite, but this shit is just flat-out ridiculous. Such a show of disrespect from the crowd to the guys in the ring.

Is anyone gonna be surprised when Charlotte YET AGAIN wins the belt at a PPV? It's becoming so tiresome and bullshit people are gonna get bored and stop caring about aNY female on Raw. Why when the female Cena constantly gets the fucking belt time and time again. Yes WWE we get it you have a hardon for Charlotte get over it :leo

It's interesting how they're using Rollins' injury, and the 'will he?, won't he?' angle, it forces me to be inclined that he WILL be wrestling at Wrestlemania. I may be wrong but I don't ever recall this happening before. If someone is legit injured, that's it, they are written out of storylines until they return. It's interesting, and it's keeping me invested in Raw, which means they must be doing something right.

This is my feeling as well. They would just keep him swept under the rug until he was ready to come back if he was going to be out.

My only complaint is if he is cleared to wrestle at Mania, why can't WWE keep his return a surprise?

Have HHH cutting a promo the Raw after Fastlane how Samoa Joe has eliminated Rollins and now Zayn (presumably at FL), and that there's nobody who can stop them.... Cue Rollins' music. Is that so hard?




edit: this.


They just cannot hold on surprise returns now days, they gotta announce it.. :(

saw your post after I posted.

It really pisses me off how this fucker gets the main event spot on the go home show to a ppv even though he's in a mid card match with no title or anything on the line, Vince's obsession with this fucker is the most frustrating shit to watch i swear to god.

Wouldn't shock me if they gave Roman the main event on the ppv over fucking Goldberg and Owens, it seriously wouldn't shock me. I can't wait till that oldman's dick can't get hard anymore for him and he's put in a home and someone with some sense can take over who doesn't give a fuck about Roman.

I've been watching late 1996 Raw and Nitro stuff lately. WCW had so many washed up veterans. WWF had so many terrible gimmicks. The wrestling match to match was decidedly of lower quality than today.

Still, the shows seem better because the big stuff is so much better. The NWO before it completely jumped the shark and the rise of Austin with the Pillman stuff and then the feud with Bret. Both of those things still seem so much better than anything they are doing now.

This Raw has definitely stiffed us but hey, at least we haven't seen Enis Envy or Al Sharpton lyp-syncing, Chavo Guerrero vs Hornswaggle or a legitimately WOAT contending Johnny Damon promo followed by a parody of Tiger Woods scandal followed by Mae Young acting sexual in a low cut Santa suit in her 80s

Seth Rollins finally acknowledging his faults in the past as a heel?? :mark:

I wish they weren't running with this in front of this fucking crowd.

Aside from Seth also want to see Joe destroy and Owens be even more of a massive arsehole.
I kinda feel like that's where it'd have to go in an alliance between the two of them that was forged by HHH, given the things Joe said in his sit-down with Cole about not needing Hunter like KO, Orton, and Rollins did, but the writers have completely ignored things like that before, so who knows?
