Raw LD 8/1/2016: Once Again Starring Brock Lesnar

[Sean Valjean]

Bork Laser makes his first appearance since his Wrestlemania squash against a certain reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion that WWE hasn't felt like mentioning since it happened. This is also his first appearance since winning his UFC return bout with help from the power of illegal spinach or something. How will he respond to Randy Orton's inflammatory comments about him? Will he take the Apex Predator to Suplex City or will Brock take a detour down Viperville?

Since all the cool people have their own personal cities now, Finn Balor has been relaxing in Demonberg since his squeaky clean win over Roman Reigns last week to earn the #1 contendership to the WWE Universal Championship. What will happen when the break-through draftee confronts his Summerslam opponent, Seth Rollins?

The Women's Championship now resides in Bosstopolis after Sasha Banks defeated Charlotte, sending the former champ packing back to...I guess Charlotte since that's an actual city. How will Charlotte respond? By that, I mean what new method of siccing Dana Brooke on Sasha will she utilize?

Most of all, what unfortunate soul is Braun Strowman and his theme song of RAWR going to devour tonight?

I hope Paul starts referring to himself as the "Performance Enhancing" Paul Heyman.

 

[Deoxyribonucleic A.C.I.D.]

I'm waiting for the promo "I won everything by getting pills and I will continue winning everything by taking pills, because no one can touch me".

 

[J-Dogg]

Looking forward to the show and Paul Heyman doing his thing on the mic.

 

[BaconBits]

I'm drinking. Quite heavily. Let's watch some half naked people touch each other.

 

[rbv13]

I'm working on a bottle of sangria.

 

[J-Dogg]

Hope the show does well tonight

 

[J-Dogg]

Sasha to open that's a good sign it's changing up in terms of what opened the shows in the past.

 

[BaconBits]

I'm working on a bottle of sangria.

Well it is summer. That is as good a choice as any.

 

[Radical Canadian Goose]

Nice! Open with the Bo$$!

 

[Navi]

I'm drinking. Quite heavily. Let's watch some half naked people touch each other.

Good Lord.

 

[BaconBits]

I'm not really a Sasha fan (or any of the women on Raw, for that matter), but it's cool she's opening the show.

 

[Bernkastel]

Finally I agree with the crowd when they chant "you deserve it" at someone.

 

[BaconBits]

Good Lord.

No, Jesus has nothing to do with it.

 

[Sean Valjean]

Sasha doesn't have custom side-plates. They're usually super quick on that. I wonder if that's cause for concern.

 

[J-Dogg]

I'm a Sasha fan and this makes me happy she has the title.

 

[Navi]

Oh geez, she's stumbling over her words.

 

[L@RISANO]

ok promo to start there by Sasha. Didn't see anything special...

 

[JoeFromTomsRiver]

They put way too much damn makeup on Sasha. She looks so much better without it. Charlotte on the other hand looks way too much like Ric without it.

 

[Radical Canadian Goose]

Now what does "The Nature Girl" have to say?

 

[J-Dogg]

Charlotte got a sweet robe on

 

[Sean Valjean]

Charlotte resembles Cersei Lannister in that get-up.

 

[J-Dogg]

Oh geez, she's stumbling over her words.

I noticed that I got
A bit worried but hey I'm sure she will do
Good as champ.

 

[BaconBits]

Sasha doesn't have custom side-plates. They're usually super quick on that. I wonder if that's cause for concern.

Well, if the sheets are to be believed, Charlotte has asked for time off, so this was probably a quickie title change and the plates aren't done yet.

 

[J-Dogg]

Oh snap Charlotte
