Dolfan in NYC Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Well, I guess Braun didn't get cleared or he's going to win the Rumble or something, cause otherwise, I don't know why they ran a month of promos with him challenging Brock. Also, that Fatal 4 Way was simply delightful. Whomever was in charge of setting it up definitely deserves a raise because everyone (even Corbin!) looked great. I cannot see them putting the title on Balor, but holy hell would Balor-AJ for the Universal title be a damned dream match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 This was... a very entertaining show. Best RAW in a while and Vince had me laughing my ass off out there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Devitt beating Cena is nice. Still I don't think he is beating Brock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand-Drawn Sprite Man Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Meltzer was hinting earlier in the day that there would be a change in one of the title matches, and that it was not due to injury. I assume he'll talk about that more now that the show is off the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I have a sneaking suspicion that Balor is winning the title at the Rumble. I think it fits into their new fresh start, give the fans what they want attitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 One match I wasn't looking forward to at the Rumble, Brock vs. Braun gets upgraded to Brock vs. Balor. Balor has to be one of the lightest wrestlers, Brock will have gone up against. Hopefully Lesnar will put a shift in like he did versus Styles and Bryan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peck Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Braun trying to put the limo door back together in front of Vince was fantastic comedy and more than made up for the wretchedness from last week. Otis's comedy was.... something. That was all kinda awkward. Where's Jojo been lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Yeah, that was a helluva four-way. The goofy guy from Heavy Machinery come out and blathering on behind Heyman and Alexa was hilarious. I didn't even recognize that guy. What the hell was he saying, anyway. And because you brought it up, Nikki Cross and Sarah Logan in the ring together was "hottest Diva dream match" tonight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I feel like they were really pulling out all the stops to ensure Balor is seen as THE GUY. Heel Authority buries them, wrestles multiple times in one night, OVERCOMES THE ODDS, Cena endorsement. Realistically it was more an exercise in trying to retcon the last 2 years of Just Another Guy.

Kang Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Maybe they will book him as Raws guy but not the champ. Would be interesting and very excellent trolling. Alexa Bliss looked the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Yeah, and they still have the paint to put on him if they absolutely need to underline his chances against Brock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Tonight really felt like the start of their "fresh new start" on RAW. This had some very Crash TV like elements.. segments bleeding into one another, backstage gopher walking in on Alexa half dressed, Braun and Vince theatrics.. Vince saying wild shit in the ring.. But it was enjoyable. Everyone got some TV time and they had a lot of serious business also. Sasha and Ronda setting up their title match (Ronda's acting though.. not good) and then Finn Balor winning a big Fatal 4 Way and Cena putting him over afterwards. It was a nice mix of comedy that was actually funny and solid in-ring work. I liked Sasha's Side Russian leg sweep into Bank Statement combination. She's been pulling out different ways to lock it on in recent weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Figures, I decide to go out and I miss what sounds like a pretty decent Raw. I got home just in time for the end of IC title match. I love Balor getting the title shot at the Rumble. I hope they do something different and put the title on Balor rather than another Brock WM title match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I'd rather be rid of Brock but I like how we're getting a few first time matches (vs. Styles, Bryan and now Balor) between the rinse and repeat ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
