Confirmed & Possible Happenings For Tomorrow Night's Raw

[Jack-Hammer]

Over the course of this week, there've been several announcements made as to the content of tomorrow night's show as well as some further speculation regarding other segments due to what's already been announced.

Scheduled to kick of tomorrow night's show is an in-ring promo from Sting where he'll explain himself, hype the upcoming match, etc. There's also speculation that Sting might be out there and reveal Seth Rollins' statue before destroying it or, at least, destroying it later on in the night if The Authority decide to attempt another statue presentation.

Earlier today, it was announce that a "SummerSlam" rematch was set to take place with Dolph Ziggler taking on Rusev, which will quite probably end due to some sort of catfight outside the ring between Lana and Summer Rae.

Earlier this week, the first ever Beat The Clock Challenge for the Divas was announced. Last I read, matches were scheduled for Paige, Charlotte and Becky Lynch but not who their opponents were. The Diva who wins her match with the fastest time will take on Nikki Bella at Night of Champions for the Divas Championship.

I think they've gone as far as they can with the various tag matches; the factions are firmly planted and known, so it's time to put more of a focus on the Divas Championship and not so much on the "girl power" aspects of things.

I rather get an 8 woman tourney to determine who faces Nikki at NoC, with each match being given a decent amount of time than a series of short divas matches. I've never been a fan of Beat the Clock matches, as they typically tend to be short & forgettable.

Regarding Sting, from what I hear tomorrow is his only scheduled appearance before NoC, not sure how I feel about that, though I suppose they could just as easily build up this feud with vignettes & "Via satellite" promo's the rest of the way.

I could not possibly care less about this Rusev/Ziggler feud, just do the mixed tag so we can move on to something else for these guys.

Can't say I'm excited to see Sting appear tomorrow night for Raw. I'm a fan of his, but he's just talking (rambling), so who cares?

Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev should be at least be better than their SummerSlam match. Fortunately, the rivalry isn't going to end. It probably will at NOC in a mixed tag.

I'm also not excited for the Diva's Beat the Clock Challenge. The matches are always too short to mean anything. After last week's Raw, I can't say that's a bad thing.

Am I excited for Sting? Yes. There are the rumours that he won't be on TV until NoC, but I'm optimistic. If he is live in the ring kicking off Raw, that's great. It means we'll get some interaction between him/HHH/Seth. On the other hand, his could be a swerve and it could be Seth in a Sting mask and that would be cool and get some good heat too.

Rusev vs. Dolph? They work well together and since it's obvious the feud isn't over, I'm assuming there won't be a clean finish.

The beat the clock tournament between PCB is good because it should produce good matches and create more tension between PCB, so I'm all for character development.

I'm sure Sheamus/Orton will be in some tag team match, we'll see more of Braun dominating, I believe a Dudley is rumoured to be facing a member of New Day (so that's cool too), and we'll probably see Cena try and piss Seth off to get a US title rematch.

All in all, last week's Raw actually gave me reasons to want to tune in (even though I would have anyway because I can't lie to myself like some people).

Same here, although the prize in winning has come to mean something simply because of the length of time Nikki has held the title. Many fans have long figured out that the belt will remain around her waist until she's topped AJ Lee's record. After that, a title change can finally occur. No, this is nothing earth-shattering, but if the divas are to get their revolution fully under way, the big prize has to be attainable......and it hasn't been, to this point.

Regarding Sting, from what I hear tomorrow is his only scheduled appearance before NoC, not sure how I feel about that, though I suppose they could just as easily build up this feud with vignettes & "Via satellite" promo's the rest of the way.

And vignettes & promos are the way almost all of it will be done in the lead-up to NOC. We've seen little enough of Steve Borden since he came aboard; they're not going to risk his AARP body before the big night.

I could not possibly care less about this Rusev/Ziggler feud, just do the mixed tag so we can move on to something else for these guys.

For a change, this is a feud in which the ladies are more prominent than the guys. As far as I can see, Lana and Summer are the chief reason to care about this one, if one is to care at all. I still think Rusev is a talented and unique performer and should eventually clean Dolph's clock and win the feud. Still, finally seeing Lana in 'action' is what's extending this program. What they plan to do with these people after it's over is anyone's guess.

Go, Raw.

I'm excited for the Sting-Rollins feud. Hopefully they don't shove Cena in to make it a triple threat because that would be disastrous.

Ziggler vs Rusev is a snoozefest. Really looking forward to the Reigns/Ambrose vs Wyatt Family feud especially with the new member. That guy could be the next big thing if creative doesn't fuck him up. Sheamus/Orton feud needs to just move on already.. they have no chemistry whatsoever.

That is finally some step up in this whole "Revolution" thing. Because finally you can bring something and not just "We feud in 3vs3 with no story and whoever wins/lose doesnt mather at all because Nikki needs record beaten first and then everything else".
