The sheer level of meta is blowing my mind right now.

He was nervous. It doesn't hurt to get it out there. I thought it was fine. Generic, yes, but fine. I expect more from the face to face.

That was exactly what needed to happen. Don't try to ignore it, use it to your advantage. If they continue this route and base the entire angle around 'We don't think you're ready' 'No, you're wrong and I'm going to prove it' and keep Reigns FAR AWAY FROM BIG SHOW then we might finally have something.

It was the only option. NOT having him surprise return AND having Bryan return and go for the rumble only compounded the flames.
If you are GOING to decide that Reigns is gonna be the guy, Hold Bryan out, hold Reigns out, have Reigns surprise return to the Rumble.
It was the only way to avoid this. They could not have handled it worse.

I wasn't really hating the angle with The Big Show, but they were stretching it. That should've ended on a Monday Night Raw or something. Those attack brawls were cool and very stiff.

They need someone better than Show against Reigns at Fast Lane.

Good thing he got those 3 their jobs back. They looked so great in the rumble...

Also, if they're going to have Cena beat Rusev at WM, Rusev better win at Fast Lane.
He's going to be very near to Big Show,and often too, unfortunately... just the way it is.

Apparently WWE Fast Lane will be a special episode of Monday Night Raw and there's nothing wrong with that. I am intrigued for the John Cena vs. Rusev, as I don't really know if they're going to give Rusev's streak to the biggest name of the company. They could and there's nothing wrong with that, but they could use Cena as a can feeder for Rusev to get to a bigger spot. I doubt it though.
Also, whatever the hell happens to Ryback/Rusev? I was digging that a lot.

Because Swagger is a legit athlete with real skills. I'm assuming that's the reason why people like Lesnar and Ziggler so much. Doesn't make any sense for them to get cheered by smarks and not Swagger.
What you're saying with holding back Bryan and Reigns makes sense in terms of the surprise factor. However, just keeping Bryan back, would have worked just as well, lMO.

Yeah I was hoping Ryback was going to be the one to take him down. Not if Cena is starting a program with him.

Well watch the package.
He punched Triple H. He punched The Miz...and he's the fucking Terminator.
I'd hope that WWE has something planned for Rusev once he loses his 'undefeated' streak. That will be key towards him being a top heel going forward...

Is it weird that I am finding this Raw to be quite entertaining? It's just different, and being different is good. It means a lot less filler repetitive matches. Also, SmackDown will benefit from the lack of Raw and next week's return of Raw will be even better as far as hype goes. I am digging it, really.
I'm enjoying it too. Personally, I think the guys will benefit from this storm a little by getting a little break of sorts and to recharge their batteries both physically and mentally.

I feel like with the Ambrose shenanigans and these good talking segments, they could have done some kinda cool stuff with this format, but oh well.

Yeah this is actually pretty interesting.
I'm not even that upset with Reigns winning the Rumble. I think the overall look to this Mania will be pretty solid top to bottom. Bryan, Cena, maybe Taker, Ziggler, Wyatt, Orton, Rollins, and Ambrose will all have interesting matches. Other than the possible Taker/Wyatt match, I can't even figure out how everything will shake out.
