And if they are smart, they make him and Reigns the last two entrants.

- According to PWInsider, Jerry Lawler referring to both Edge & Christian as “retired” on Raw wasn’t an error. Christian has been pulled from the ring due to the series of injuries and concussions he suffered during his current run and is considered retired as an in-ring performer.

The site adds that he has “about a year” on his current deal with WWE.

Is Rollins even ready for a run with the world title yet?

Yes. He's been booked pretty well overall and is a great heel.

@Dr. Evil:
Exactly.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Of course, there is a 0% chance that the WWE is smart.

This was the first Raw in...oh man...SEVERAL months that I've watched from start to finish.

Seth was GREAT there in the end. However, Cole all but ruined it by announcing that Rollins wanted the Authority back. Don't step on the mystery line, you moron...even if it isn't such a mystery.

The Ascension is not a new Legion of Doom. They just aren't. That devil lock face paint is stupid. They were not impressive.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Really liked that ending segment. Really, there could've been FAR more worse ways to bring back Steph and Trips and Rollins is such a great heel. So rare in WWE for a heel to actually be a heel and generate true heat.

And.....*Gasp* I'm actually going to watch a full episode of Raw live on Monday???! First time since August.

Tonight was my first time watching a full episode since September. It held my attention.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Triple H's call to give Ryback and Cesaro mic time. Granted, they had a split roster, but who would've thought they'd get talking segments?

Hope they continue to do things like that.

I'm taking it a show at a time, but for now, the company has me interested in their main show again.

Jones and Cormier are having a WWE style rivalry.

 

[Bat Brain]

Right now, my ideal Wrestlemania main event would be Bryan beating Lesnar for the title with Rollins cashing in afterwards. A man can dream...

UFC is about to get a lot like the WWE within the next year. I'm calling it now peeps.

I cannot wait to see Dana White be as mentally unstable as Vince.

Can we all admit it already? Seth Rollins is the best performer of the retired faction called The Shield. An arguement could've been made for Dean Ambrose back in August. But not anymore.

It's really strange they haven't publicly announced it until now. Even though everyone kind of knew.

Let us have this one....

Part of AmDrag's promo is up on WWE's YT channel.

I disagree. Rollins and Ambrose are about even in my eyes. Rollins has some crazy agility but I'm not totally won over by his promos. Ambrose has him beat there.

Really hope American Dragon is here to slay the Roman Empire.

If they want Reigns to succeed, they will have to protect him. Unless they want to turn him heel (lol).

EDIT:
It's in Philly too. Good luck controlling the crowd if AmDrag doesn't win.

They're back in Philly this year. They ****ed over Bryan, the Philly crowd, and everyone else last year. Now, they're gonna make everybody happy by (possibly) ****ing over the over pushed Reigns. Win-win.

Finally, got around to watching this. Only 39 minutes long though. It goes over what Dave had been up to since leaving WWE from injuries and not being a fan of the PG crap.

From getting professionally trained to achieve his dream of being in an MMA fight (which he made no money from), to joining a classic Impala club (his gets more attention from people walking down the street than than any of the Euro cars he owns), to getting into Hollywood as his new career, he got emotional while talking about Guardians Of The Galaxy because he went through so much to get the role of Drax to finally get his big break in Hollywood.

Batista wanted to be a company man and also wanted to treat the fans better than The Rock: Take turns making a movie and wrestling, but working a lot more dates including house shows to show his passion and one-up The Great One.

In the end though, Batista forgets that professional wrestling is a young man's game and after being gone for 4 years, the audience moved on without him. Its a nice, little documentary about Batista's comeback story, but the end is a buzzkill with the fans turning on him at The 2014 Royal Rumble. It was not the hero's welcome he was expecting.

His surprise return was ruined by the Internet, his gear wasn't ready and had to be fixed at the last minute so he didn't get to warm up, a lot of fans didn't want him to be in the main event of Wrestlemania or wrestle Randy Orton again. Him coming back was one giant botch and it sucks to see his feelings get hurt. The program ends with him unsure of coming back.

Jones and Cormier are having a WWE style rivalry.

Loved that press conference melee. I was shocked when I found out it wasn't staged and they got fined for it!

It's in Philly too. Good luck controlling the crowd if AmDrag doesn't win.

I love the coincidence and irony that Reigns was cheered and now will get jeered in the same state all within the span of one year. Both times because of Bryan. Fu**ing beautiful!

Batista was fantastic as Drax and will do a good job as Mr. Hinx in Spectre.
