The final RAW before Fastlane takes place north of Milwaukee, in Green Bay, Wisconsin. And in a rare occurrence, I will not be there. Mostly because I had to choose between RAW and Fastlane and Fastlane won. So it's gonna feel super weird for me to watch tomorrow night when I get home from work.
Even though I'm not there, Goldberg will be. Six nights before he challenges Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship, he'll be in Titletown to answer Paul Heyman's comments from last week. Will Brock Lesnar also be around to take issue with the response? Will we have another awkward closeup? And will Owens himself have something to say about Goldberg while also refusing to talk about his betrayal of Chris Jericho?
Last week, Enzo and Cass pulled off a shocking upset of the former tag champs, Cesaro and Sheamus... and Enzo paid for his celebrating with a Brogue Kick. Will the former champions look to insert themselves into the title match at Fastlane, and will Anderson and Gallows be doing something other than facing Roman Reigns in a handicap match?
Speaking of Roman, his collision with the monster amongst men, Braun Strowman, is fast approaching, and his attempts to emulate Sami Zayn by trying to get his hands on Braun early have almost inevitably ended in disaster. After Braun's victory over Big Show, meanwhile, the former Wyatt Family member continues to look unstoppable. Will Braun's path of destruction continue into Fastlane, will Reigns stop making the same mistakes Zayn made, and will he even get a clean win for the first time in forever?
Meanwhile, Jack Gallagher has a big match set for the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Sunday, and it's against the Cruiserweight Champion Neville. Last week, it became apparent that the Extraordinary Gentleman is getting under the skin of his wily opponent. Does the King of the Cruiserweights have something sinister in store for his fellow Englishman?
Seth Rollins' future for WrestleMania looks bleak after reinjuring his knee in an attack from Samoa Joe. He will sit down for an update on his status, and if rumors are to be believed, it's not looking good. Joe himself seems to have made a target out of Sami Zayn, demolishing him last week prior to his match with Owens. Does Zayn have any response for Joe's attacks, and will this lead to something on Sunday?
All this, plus New Day's ice cream plans, Byron Saxton getting insulted a lot, and (sigh....) Charlotte Flair, LIVE this Monday night from the Resch Center in beautiful Green Bay, 8E/7C only on USA Network!

It's annoying how, by the time we get to the PPV where feuds are supposed to end, I'm usually sick of seeing them so I end up not caring who wins. That said, I will always tune in to see Braun destroy people so I'm good with this.

"OK, now, Byron, I want you to call Cesaro and Sheamus the winners of the titles, even though The Club is going over. And Corey, I want to really put the screws to Saxon, like really get personal about what a dummy he is, if you have to, call him a re..." "Vince, I really don't want to do this..." "DAMNIT, YOU'LL SAY WHAT I TELL YOU TO SAY, WE NEED TO GET OVER WHAT A COMPLETE MORON SAXTON IS, IT'S MY SHOW, DAMNIT!!!" "Sigh, yes sir..." |

WWE can't win when it comes to things like this. Either they ignore it and get accused to being in a bubble and not giving a shit about current trends, or they acknowledge it and they get called clingy and desperate for attention.
EVERYONE is making fun of this mixup from the Oscars, especially on here, so why can't WWE?

EVERYONE is making fun of this mixup from the Oscars, especially on here, so why can't WWE? I think for me, it's because WWE never does this stuff well and always acts like they want attention got it rather than telling a good joke with it. As proven from most of the stuff WWE does, they desperately want the media to pay attention to them but not for the stuff they SHOULD pay attention to e.g. the time they got annoyed the media called them out for the Titus O'Neal suspension. |

EVERYONE is making fun of this mixup from the Oscars, especially on here, so why can't WWE? Because it's WWE, their tasteful current media shoutouts are few and far between, they're usually a very cringy moment of TV
One of the best examples being Trump vs Rosie, Barak vs Hilary, and the infamous Guy in a Tiger Outfit getting chased by an angry woman with a Golf Club set to roaring tiger audio and a dead crowd, or those weird few weeks where Kane called Seth Rollins "Justin Bieber"... Outside of Sports Media like the SportsCenter interviews which I DO like, WWE can come across very "PAY ATTENTION TO US" with some of their moments of acknowledging some of the media moments that they do when a lot of the time, people just want to watch their product... for better or worse...
I'm not saying WWE can't acknowledge it, but heck if it'll be done well... I'm expecting if anyone does it though it'll be New Day or Enzo and Cass, and given their tanking reps here that's a pick your poison moment anyway...

Book Every Match with a Dusty Finish or Russo Swerve. They'll never see it coming, bro.

Ok I've seen on the board the last two weeks Raw has been good. Like 7/10 good. So I guess I will actually watch a full episode and not the last 35 minutes. I feel like the Raws episodes I don't watch end up being ok/good and then when I come back to watch a full episode it f****ing sucks.

I might watch tonight, might not, I dunno. Not really interested but past couple weeks have been said to be good so I guess I might as well give it a look. Probably depend on if I have anything going on this evening.
