Although it's going to happen the idea of Goldberg vs Lesnar as a title match is utterly ridicolous, it's a match that doesn't need a title thrown in. The story they've built up between Jericho and Owens is way more compelling plus at their biggest show of the year surely they should be pushing their emerging talent more (Owens not Jericho obviously). I know the big name marquee matches are more appealing to the casual fans but it's time they stopped catering so much to outsider eyes and concentrated on making a more solid card that concludes longer running storylines.

surely the main thing being set up for WM is Cena winning the championship for the 17th time and breaking the record? 

I'd like styles and owens to be the main cards, they're the best (AJ technically, Owens promos) at the moment. Jericho is my fav but only because he's so hilarious. 

The way they are bigging up Strowman on commentary makes me think Strowman could be set up for a long reign at the top. God knows what they will pull out vs Reigns now after he massacred him after the Big show fight. Tbf - Strowman showed some real athleticism in that match! 

I don't get Ziggler at all..

what a waste.. no one really cares about nikki and maryse and the miz hasn't come close to winning a match in yonks. When are they gonna bump Baron up a bit? He looked like he was on a roll but from rumble to now he's been tossed around like salad.

the miz isn't a hot heel - he never wins!

Miz is the perfect stepping stone heel for me. He has a great gimmick and plays it up well, he can take losses and losing to him after all he has done isn't that big a knock back either. He was over pushed to main event but at his current level I think he is perfect - kinda like a modern day Honky tonk.

Even miz ain't that good

Weird raw this week. They slowly setting up strowman for a match with foley?!

No jericho meant it was far less interesting than previous weeks. Seemed like lots of calling out prior to fastlane.

Enzio and big cass to win the belts? Would love that. At least they have character compared to gallows and Anderson who remind me of demolition with out all the "what a rush" stuff.

New day presenting WM could be fun.

I think Foley is scheduled to have surgery, for his hip I think so this is essentially the storyline that leads to him getting fired/suspended.

Yes sorry

S'okay. All through my junior years I thought Demolition were the real deal and LOD were the imposters.

MK I love your analysis

It's to build to AJ vs Shane somehow, unfortunately.

How do you know that? From the kick?

Jesus I'm terrible at working out what's really happening. It's just a soap for christs sake.

Btw at mania which title match is usually more coveted? Raw or smackdown belts?

do they usually make one heel win a main belt and one face win one?

Not always, benoit and Eddie were champs at the end of mania.

If lesnar and Goldberg is the title match then I'd go for lesnar to win but with a respect angle at the end to turn him face. Not sure who is down to face bray.

I thought orton gave up the chance and that went to the elimination which was joint won by aj and luke but then aj won in the rematch so isn't it AJ vs Bray?
