Sorry, call me a shill, I don't see how this Cody stuff is WWE's fault. I really think the fans are buying way into what the dirtsheets are saying here. For all we know, there is no deal signed or in place. W ell even if they don't have Cody it'd be nice to have something interesting happen with Seth like show his opponent for Mania and stop dragging out the third "no path to WM" angle going on right now?
Also if WWE doesn't have Cody they should tell the roster to stop putting Cody tease lines in promos Yeah, that much I agree with. But blaming WWE for no Cody, when they may in fact not even have him is kinda stupid. And those teases are just for cheap pops. Shouldn't get too caught up in that imo. |

I hope KO retires the Stunner because he has done 1000 thousand moves great but for some reason that always falls flat He really should get to use the package piledriver. Looks cool, is probably the safest piledriver possible, so, win/win. |

I know it was never stated that Cody was going to be there, but it seemed like the right time to do it. So, I watched this dredge of a show and now have zero desire to actually watch Mania
I feel like that’s not the goal.

Before getting to Raw, I have to give my thoughts about the passing of Scott Hall. Razor Ramon was one of my favorite wrestlers. When he debuted, I thought he was so cool even as a bad guy. In elementary school, I had to do a project where I had to commentary over a sporting event. Instead of doing normal sports, I did wrestling, specifically a Razor Ramon match. His match with Bret Hart at the 1993 Royal Rumble is one of my favorite matches of all-time. I don't think there was a Razor Ramon Match that I didn't like. I even liked his Crybaby Match with 1-2-3 Kid. When he showed up on Nitro, he changed the face of wrestling forever. I could go on all night talking about him. But, besides what he did inside the ring, Scott Hall the man overcame his personal demons and gave his life for the wrestling business. As he said in his Hall of Fame Speech, "Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don't last, but bad guys do". RIP Scott Hall, as he enters the Heavenly Royal Rumble. It's now time to say goodbye to The Bad Guy. Survey said, one more for the Good Guys, Chico.
I'm still behind in catching up with my Facts & Stats, but I did keep track of my thoughts for Raw. By the way, I did watch wrestling last week & enjoyed everything.
Overall, a pretty solid Raw.
Awesome promo by Kevin Owens to start off Raw. I loved his tribute to Scott Hall too.
Finn Balor VS Damian Priest was a good match, but what's the point of Austin Theory getting involved since he's wrestling Pat McAfee at WrestleMania & has nothing to do with Balor or Priest. Good promo by Seth Rollins.
I had a feeling that we were going to get Omos VS Commander Azeez. I think we will be seeing Omos VS Veer Mahaan at WrestleMania.
Omos VS Commander Azeez wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
Hilarious segment with Kevin Owens & Seth Rollins.
Liv Morgan VS Queen Zelina was a short, but good match.
What's the point of Seth Rollins coming to the ring if we're getting a recap of Brock Lesnar VS Roman Reigns instead? WWE needs to stop doing this.
Another classic segment with Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens. They will have another classic later.
The Mysterios VS The Hurt Business was OK, but I still don't care about Logan Paul & The Miz.
Queen Sharmell deserves to be inducted in the Hall of Fame. She was much as part of the King Booker character as Booker T himself.
Cool new entrance music for Edge. Edge's promo was awesome. I can't wait for his match with AJ Styles at WrestleMania.
Solid promo by Bianca Belair.
Another Veer Mahaan promo, as he will be on Main Event again this week against an Enhancement Match.
Thought we have seen it several times, Bianca Belair VS Doudrop was still a great match. Belair is still impressive when she gets Doudrop up in the KOD. Nice surprise attack by Becky Lynch.
I didn't do live thoughts last week, but the Raw Tag Team Championship Triple Threat was an awesome match.
Fun segment with RK-Bro & I like the heelish side of The Street Profits to set-up their match at WrestleMania.
Riddle VS Montez Ford was a great match. I didn't mind the interference of The Alpha Academy as it could lead to a Tripe Threat Match at Mania.
Beautiful Tribute video for Scott Hall. It made me cry. Kudos to WWE for putting it together at the last minute.
Kevin Owens & Seth Rollins had another instant classic match. It doesn't matter that they were wrestling over the opportunity to host a talk show at WrestleMania. It's better than a Japanese Shampoo commercial

For all we know, there is no deal signed or in place. I don't care one way or the other about Cody, truly. But we know the company is very lax in communicating with their stars to the point where they haven't even been told about draft changes until they saw it on Twitter. So when I get bitchy or whiny about it, it comes from my Seth fangirl side because I'm imagining how frustrating it must be for him if they haven't given him a clear cut direction, especially considering how up to just recently he's talked about the importance Mania has for himself. The build could be to Cody, or absolutely anyone and I wouldn't care if I felt like it was being handled at all well or would have a point in the end. So far, this ain't it. |

Looks cool, is probably the safest piledriver possible, so, win/win. Or even go to the top rope His Swanton Bomb is really nice and not like Jeff Hardy is there anymore |

I’m gonna be the conspiracy theorist. Graves said Seth’s Mania Dreams were Dashed, right? They have to know these they’re doing. My God, it all makes sense now. WWE HAS SIGNED DASH WILDER AWAY FROM AEW AND ARE BRINGING HIM BACK TO FACE SETH AT WRESTLEMANIA!!! BRILLIANT!!! |

I know he's already had a few WM moments, but he's been one of the very few bright spots of the product over the last year. They could be doing this a whole lot better. |

I'm guessing that Rollins is probably going to show up at Wrestlemania and do an open challenge (like hijack it) and then Cody comes out, beats him embarrassing him and that's that. |

In some ways I kinda get it, the match doesn’t need a 6 week build, but there was a ton of hype after he left AEW and they missed it. |

It's clearly what's going to happen. Vince would not be giving an outsider such hints and attention if it wasn't a done deal. I don't know if he debuts next week, the week after on the go-home show or Wrestlemania itself to answer an open challenge (would be what I'd do) but he's absolutely facing Rollins at Wrestlemania. I'm shocked there's still a decent amount of people who don't think so. |

If Cody were to come out tonight, I think it might have been overshadowed by the news about Scott Hall, to be honest. Rather than have that happen, it's possible that they held off on the Cody thing and might do it next week.
In other developments, the less I see of Austin Theory at this point, the better. Put him on Smackdown so he can build his match with McAfee and keep him tf away from the US title picture.
