WWE Monday Night Raw Discussion Thread - 08/03

A storm is coming to Raw, and its name is Brock Lesnar.

The last time we saw The Beast Incarnate on WWE television, he sparked a melee with The Undertaker that was so intense, it required the intervention of nearly the entire WWE locker room and local law enforcement, who detained The Anomaly and escorted him from the arena. Now, two weeks later, Lesnar is confirmed to be at Raw. What do The Beast and his vocal advocate, Paul Heyman, have planned for Monday night’s hottest show?


Two weeks after trading punches with The Undertaker in one of the wildest fistfights the WWE Universe has ever witnessed, Brock will be live on Raw — an inevitability that no doubt has The Authority bracing for impact.

Will Lesnar and his advocate, Paul Heyman, address the melee that had Lesnar removed from Raw in restraints? Might The Anomaly send a bold message to his SummerSlam opponent just 20 days before their WrestleMania 30 rematch? Whatever Lesnar has planned, The Deadman will surely be watching.


In an exclusive interview with Michael Cole on WWE.com, Kevin Owens claimed that the reason he’s been targeting Cesaro in recent weeks is simple: He doesn’t want The Swiss Superman to take his “spotlight.” However, on Thursday’s SmackDown, Cesaro actually pinned K.O. in the night’s tag team main event, proving that Owens’ underhanded sneak attacks haven’t fazed the former United States Champion.

Owens will likely seek to retaliate against Cesaro on Raw, but will the end result mirror what we saw as SmackDown went off the air — with The King of Swing triumphant?


Showing undeniable tenacity in his United States Championship defense against Seth Rollins on Raw, The Champ fought through a broken nose to defeat The Architect via submission — a victory that was testament to Cena’s “Never Give Up” mantra.

However, in the wake of Cena’s severe nasal fracture, The Champ’s future remains unclear. When will we see Cena in a WWE ring again? Despite losing that incredible match, did Rollins actually defeat Cena in the long-term, putting the fighting champion on the shelf? If so, how might that inability to compete affect Cena psychologically? Stay tuned as more details on the Cenation leader’s condition emerge.


On SmackDown, The Lucha Dragons and Los Matadores defeated The New Day and The Ascension, surely bringing both of the masked teams closer to The Prime Time Players’ WWE Tag Team Championships. Yet who is more deserving of an opportunity for Titus O’Neil & Darren Young’s titles? That was the question after SmackDown’s Eight-Man Tag Team Match, when Kalisto & Sin Cara argued with Diego & Fernando backstage during an interview with WWE.com. Hopefully, we’ll get a clearer sense of the true pecking order in WWE’s tag team division on Raw.


In a conflict ripped straight out of a comic book, Neville and Stardust seem to be rocketing toward an explosive collision, as WWE’s most notorious face-painted fiend continues his mind games with The Man That Gravity Forgot, goading the caped wonder into becoming his “hero” and urging the WWE Universe to “embrace the strange.” Stardust’s dastardly antics show no sign of stopping, and it seems that Neville is the only one who can silence The Prince of Dark Matter once and for all. Will an arrow, red or otherwise, soon pierce the icy heart of this interdimensional nightmare? Tune in Monday night at 8/7 C on USA Network — same Raw time, same Raw channel.

Hoping and expecting a big tribute to Mr.Piper.

I do hope they have a good follow up to the Lesnar/Taker stuff, and hope they havn't blown their wad too early. Don't just have them both come out separately and cut promos, keep up the momentum and continue this hate feud into full gear.

Yeah!!
One more day!!

I will be there.
FRONT ROW.
Ringside.

I will experience a ten bell salute live :frown2:
Nobody wants to experience one of those. On TV, in the crowd, at home, anywhere. But I know this city will cheer LOUD for Roddy Piper.
For me, I used to live in Portland. He is a Portland legend.
Also, last year, he revived Portland Wrestling (Uncut) where his son actually wrestled.
Also BROCK FRIGGIN LESNAR.
Back to the place where he gave Michael Cole and a "cameraman" an F5.
Will Taker show up with him?

Divas!! I'm not holding my breath, but I REALLY want Bayley to debut tomorrow. That hometown pop in Hugplex City, would be EPIC.

Looking forward to hopefully 2 diva matches for the third week in a row and for New Day to outshine the masked goons and the PTP. Loving Owens and Ceasaro right now and also they need to take the US Title off off ol broken nose now.


BROCK LESNAR is always nice to have around.

Gonna bawl at the Piper stuff for realises though. It best be an awesome video and 10 Bell.

Last week's Raw was pretty meh, so following WWE logic, this one will flat out suck, and next week's one will be decent. Might give it a miss this week.

Lesnar on RAW, I always look forward to that. Hopefully the Undertaker will be on RAW as well, to follow up their awesome brawl from two weeks ago.

Also looking forward to Ambrose, Wyatt, Owens, the divas stuff. Should hopefully be a good RAW. I've honestly been enjoying RAW as of late.

The Piper tribute video will be an emotional watch because if there's one thing WWE can do superbly, it's create an excellent tribute video to honour the life and/or career of one of their Legends or Superstars/Divas. So I expect Roddy to be honoured greatly.

On another note, there's aspects of Raw that I'm really looking forward to this week, the Divas being top of that list now after Owens' and Rollins' momentum has been severely damaged with poor booking. (Both of them are still class though)
Hopefully we'll get to see Sasha and Becky in competing in singles action, either against each other or not, I'm not too fussed as long as they get a good amount of time.

Oh, and a Bayley debut would be mint!

Other than the Divas, it's probably the shenanigans that The New Day could well and truly get up to which is the next most exciting thing I can think of at the minute because I'm expecting a (sadly) now generic 'Suplex City' promo from Heyman with Brock. If he could prove me wrong kick fuck out of some people though, or if 'Taker showed up, that would be canny cool.

RAW has indeed been on a roll but this thread has remained unbearable still during each show. Looking forward to alot of nitpicking and over analyzing every little insignificant thing, to those posters I say enjoy your misery lol.

I'd expect a 10 bell ring with the roster on the stage and a video package for Piper like they did with Rhodes. I don't know if the story about the WWE yanking his legends contract over what happened between Austin and he is true but i'd expect the WWE to still do the right thing and at least dedicate a few minutes to Piper.

Other than that, i'm looking foward to Lesnar and the divas revolution.

I just think that it says something when your preview showcases Stardust and Neville, Los jobberdores and Lucha dragons.

True, but I'm sure Vince & "creative" will come up with some net-o reasons why Roman wasn't there last week..........


:jbl "So MAGGLE where was Roman the future face of the company Regins last week?"


:cole "Well John turns out Roman was out stick with a tummy bug and instead of getting everyone else sick he stayed home, where his daughter made his chicken soup."


:jbl "HA, she's such a sweetie much better than cuter than Steph Curry's little girl."



or they could say........


:jbl "So MAGGLE what happened to the Soman Superman Roam Regins last week?"


:cole "Turns out John that very bad man Bray Wyatt locked Roman in a closet during a surprise sleep over the two had. My sources say Bray wanted to make peace but instead that dirty do do head Luke Harper jumped Roman from behind and stuff a dirty sock down his mouth and Bray locked him away."


:jbl "Well is he okay?"


:cole "I think a SUPERMAN PUNCH to the Wyatt family will certain cheer him up."


:jbl "Yes MAGGLE, it certainly will and the whole WWE Universe will be cheering n as well."



But it will probably be something like this......


:jbl "So MAGGLE any news on Roman Regins last week? I mean what's more important that Monday Night Raw."


:cole "How about a little charity John?"


:jbl "What?"


:cole "My sources tell me that on his way to Raw Roman pass a family on the road with a flat tire. He pulled over his car & offered it to the family as Roman with his super human heart & strength pulled that families car to the nearest gas station to get towed, then he ran into a homeless family so he bought them dinner and...."


(meanwhile over at the gorilla position)


:vince3 " NO...NO you idiots it was JOHN, JOHN I SAY, it was John who fed that homeless family AFTER he not only fixed his own nose but donated BOTH his kidneys to sick kids before amazing doctors as it turns out John could grow both his kidneys back because he's the second coming of Jesus and...."

:trips10 "But it was Titus who fed that family."
