🔴 RAW Thread 02/25/19: The Big Dog Is Back

[Steveweiser]

RAW is live from Atlanta tonight, and it's a very newsworthy show!

For the first time since October, former WWE and Universal Champion Roman Reigns will be on RAW, as he will provide an update on his condition following his leukemia diagnosis. As the news of his arrival was broken a few days ago, it looks like The Big Dog will be sharing some good news, so tune in tonight to find out what Reigns has to say.

There will also be a party at the State Farm Arena, as The Nature Boy Ric Flair celebrates his 70th birthday with his peers and friends, and surely alongside his daughter Charlotte as well. It'll definitely be a great time... until someone, maybe a Man comes around...

Last week saw the arrival of four of NXT's top stars, as NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Aleister Black and Ricochet all made their main roster debuts. We know what's in store for them on SmackDown tomorrow night, but what will they be up to this evening? Ciampa and Gargano defeated RAW Tag Team Champions The Revival last week, is a shot at the titles in their future?

The Boss 'n' Hug Connection are in their second week as the first WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, and last week, Bayley and Sasha Banks were confronted by Nia Jax and Tamina, who feel they should be the rightful champions. Will they get their shot tonight, or will they have to earn it?

The relationship between former Shield buddies Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins is very complicated. After fighting for months, Dean seemingly made up with Seth by telling him to go after and slay Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania, but last week, Ambrose was upset that Rollins didn't help him out in his match against Drew McIntyre. What's next in this weird and not so wonderful tale?

All this and plenty more... including which segment Lacey Evans will randomly walk around in, tonight from 8/7c on USA!

Yes, the Greatest wrestler of all time may be celebrating his 70th tonight... but somewhere today, the Greatest love wrestling's ever known is celebrating her 37th whilst preparing for 205 Live tomorrow night.

I'm just gonna fear Reigns being used for cheap Lesnar heat now. I just hope it's good news and nothing else but I know this company too well.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

The whole Ric Flair segment is just gonna be Prop Watch 2019. Is Becky Lynch in the oversized gift box? Is she in the giant birthday cake? Is she in a teddy bear costume? Is she prosthetically-disguised as Arn Anderson since they just fired the real one?

I’m wondering if they’ve figured out if/how quinoa can be shot out of a hose.

Good to see Reigns back, though I'm also dreading the exploitation in the Lesnar/Rollins feud.

Hoping to see Becky cause some chaos tonight in the Flair segment.  Sucks that Arn won't be there, however.

Part of me wants the party to go normally, but Charlotte gets paranoid and starts destroying everything thinking becky is hiding in there,ruining the party.

And as she is leaving,Becky just sucker punches her from the entrance.

"Wait a second....that Spinebuster wasn't smooth! You're not Arn Anderson, you're Red Herring!"

At least you did more just now than Lacey Non-Erich did all of last week.

Becky is in a giant birthday cake, but misses her cue due to sound proofed spongy cake walls and Charlotte stabs her in her kayfabe injured knee.

Arn was pre-emptively fired for that already.

I have been saying from the minute they announced the Ric Flair Birthday Celebration that Becky Lynch will get involved, either attacking Ric or Charlotte, leading Vince to announce Becky VS Charlotte at Fastlane. If Becky wins, she will face Rousey at Mania.
