Raw Thread - 4/2/18 - Wrestlemania go-home show, Rousey/Angle v. HHH/Steph confrontation, Rollins v. Balor
 

I know it's a little early, but it's Wrestlemania Week, and I'm just happy to be here. This show should be great, in theory. Whose watching? What are your expectations?

I am in love with Royce.

Will be watching via illegal stream. Excited for Braun.

Seeing as this thread was made way too early, I'm gonna dedicate this raw rassle thread to the eternal memory of Paul Bearer RIP

I've seen show threads not even start until the show already has, so why not take an hour to speculate about the Wrestlemania go-home show?

It's all good. Just hope its not a crappy show

I don't know who I want Brauns partner to be. I would love it to be Bliss but Elais should be involved more than the stupid battle royal match. He has such star potential it isn't funny.

100% dont want it to be Joe though. Anyone but Joe.

Maybe it'll be Just Joe?

Any predictions? I think Rollins will win since Finn won their last match. I also think Cena will have a fire ass promo. Does Undertaker show up? He'd almost have to, right?

College basketball's national championship is tonight too, so they'll have some stiff competition.

I really, really, really would love it to be Elias. Not even sure how Joe could make sense. If anything, he can win the ATGBR.

Taker won't show up until the WM. Gonna be watching the basketball too bc if Nova wins then I win my work bracket. Fuck Michigan!

I'm expecting Big Show to team with Braun and I won't be disappointed. I like Big Show and he's been a way for a while now so maybe he will do something different or have a different theme or something.

He definitely won't have a different theme. Maybe different tights.

Ya, give Joe the ATGBR. Makes sense.

Taker will not show up but will accept the challenge tonight via video. Maybe a fire on stage saying RIP or some crap. Will be unique.

Braun is going to kill someone and I can't wait. Hopefully Braun goes in the ring and says anyone willing to fight him tonight will be his partner. Elias comes out and gets his shit stomped in but becomes Brauns partner.

That is by far the best way to introduce Brauns partner. Instead of the hey it's so and so yey go team!

If Undertaker show's up I wouldn't mind seeing some fisticuffs, gotta fire this up baby! Whoo1 Rasslemania!

Ohhhhh, that would be awesome with Elias/Braun. I thought Braun was acting like he already knew who his partner was last week, though? He told The Bar he'd tell them his partner if Sheamus beat him. They'll probably have the same deal tonight, only in a match with Cesaro.

Crap, ya you are right. Maybe they will forget? Probably not. But it would align with Brauns character.

I think Cole said "Well this give him another week to find a partner" on commentary at the end of that segment last week.

Biker Taker vs Rapper Cena ONLY.

but seriously Cena posted an american badass shirt on his instagram.

lmao guys you have all got to check out John Cena's instagram it's hilarious.

Biker KANE vs Mordor CENA

ONLY

His obsession with posting the Stone Cold pics is making me lol, and his love for vintage Undertaker pics.

Wow his insta is dope. Totes followed.

Texas Red vs Prototype ONLY

Okay Vince.

How you gonna get all of fans sitting on the fence to subscribe to the network or buy the PPV?

Better have some good material planned tonight.

Dude the card is staccccccckkkkkeeedddddddd

Steak and sriracha flatbread pizza and antipasta salad JUST showed up. Right on time. This Raw has to be great now.

it looks really good on paper for a change, hope it delivers.

Or The Punisher vs Juan Cena.

Sure is.

Problem is we know how half of 'em are gonna end.

Main event debate

Steph looks dressed for a scuffle. I wonder if she cuts Ronda's balls off here.

Sup.

A face-to-face.

With tables, comfy chairs, and Coach as the moderator.

I wonder how this is going to end?

Steph looking fine as fuck

Stupid question.

If there are balls to be cut off, Steph will cut them off.

I figure like 20 points at the wrestlemania sign minimum tonight.
