Raw 1/30/17: The Architect Stayed Out Of The Building.

Also true. But I'll do anything to believe Cena/Orton doesn't happen at Mania for the title. Because then there's likely a rematch if Orton wins. Which means more Cena/Orton. I can't handle it.

There is an article on WWE site hyping Ortons victory. Anyway, Cena and Orton started together 15 years ago so Vince and co think its fitting way for that to be celebrated by one more match at Mania.

Anyway, Joe is needed more on Smackdown. As much as they hype him can see Seth getting some retribution there and moving on HHH.

Face Seth Rollins is abysmal.

I hope HHH/Joe kicks his arse at Mania. Who thought Babyface Seth Rollins would work properly without apologizing for betraying the SHIELD. Poor storyline booking in terms of fallout from that story destroyed babyface Roman Reigns and it is doing the same to babyface Seth Rollins.


lMO, at least Dean Ambrose has largely been consistent in his animosity towards Rollins and had been allowed to sensibly move on.

Clearly in hindsight, as epic as the Seth Rollins turn was when it actually occured, there was zero long term planning for the actual fallout of that storyline.

 

[L@RISANO]

The prospect of Orton/Cena just became a lot more realistic.

I dont mind them both being in the Mania ME at all. However I do hope either AJ Styles or Bray Wyatt is added to make it a Triple Threat for the WWE World Championship.


John Cena(C) vs Randy Orton vs AJ Styles/Bray Wyatt

the Undertaker vs Roman Reigns

Goldberg(C) vs Brock Lesnar

Seth Rollins vs Triple H



The above 4 matches seem to be good choices for the top Mania 33 matches, lMO.

I want to see a stable led by Trips of his "boys" from NXT. Almost like a new Evolution. Trips, Owens, Balor, and Joe.

Brilliant post-Mania idea. I hope we now get Seth Rollins vs Samoa Joe at Mania and it ends up following onto the above HHH faction being created. Count me in.

The night I miss Raw is the night Samoa Joe kills Seth Rollins.

Fuck me.

The night I miss Raw is the night Samoa Joe kills Seth Rollins.

Fuck me.

Still one of, if not my all time favorite moments ever on the forums:

D-Man: "Man, I'm sick of waiting on Raw's endings being nothing so I went to bed early last night. Did I miss anything or was it another stupid close?"

KB: "The NXT rookies stormed the ring, beat the heck out of Cena and Punk and destroyed most of the set. It was the best ending to the show in years and one of the best of all time."

D-Man: ".....I hate myself."

My stream froze in the middle of Rollins coming out and when I turned it back on Joe was there for fuck sake. Fucking Virgin T.V lying to me about my package the bastards
