I really need Judgment Day to win the belts and show any kind of actual crack in the Bloodline armor because I'm just at my limit at this rate lmfao
The Legends are all pretty much more of the same and some of them are eye rolling like Flair and Hogan... will probably get pops even if some of them shouldn't but we'll see how it goes...

I'd have to think Sami accidentally costing the Usos the belts has to factor into the trial somehow if you're doing both the same night. Either him thinking that's enough to make them turn on him only for Roman to ultimately wave it off or him being acquitted then costing them the belts later on. Granted given how the Bloodline's usually written it's entirely possible he helps them retain then they do the trial anyway with nothing coming of it, rendering the entire thing a massive waste of time.

I am mainly dreading the annual "legends humilate current stars" spot that every one of these big "anniversary" shows tend to have. Pray for whoever is in the ring with DX. Or having someone like Lita bury Damage CTRL in another failed attempt to get people like Candice or Michin over.

I’ve skipped the past 2 Raws so I’ll be turning back in tonight. Even if the outcome is ridiculously obvious, I think you gain more by having Sami and KO being the first to defeat the Usos for any title.

My prediction is KO interrupts just before they make a decision for Sami.

Yeah, is the prevailing thought that the Usos are going to lose tonight? I feel like that does take a bit of the shine off of the Sami/KO - Usos match if that’s where we’re heading for Mania. Maybe it’s still far enough away, though, that the loss tonight would be a distant memory by the time we get to April 1-2.

For what it's worth, Meltzer says the Acknowledgement Ceremony was cancelled because Samu and Afa "weren't ready to travel" and Rikishi is sick. Hopefully everybody's alright.

Raw 25 was one of the worst Raws ever. The segments/matches already announced so far should be enough to make this one better but that's not exactly a high bar to clear.
Did they do a special episode for the 20th anniversary? I have no memory of that. I remember the 15th anniversary being a good show though. And they held that one in December which I think was smart. Doing it in January is a bit awkward because you've got this big show with all the legends but you're also so close to the Rumble and you want to focus on building to that.

In the swerve of swerves, instead of RAW, it's a celebration of WWF Prime Time Wrestling.

I was at Raw 25 live and was like "man, it wasn't that bad!" But then I was like wait, what actually happened? And then I remembered that like...the opening segment was fun and then it seems like everything else went to hell.
