There isn't really a good way to follow that. Fantastic.
It will be interesting to see if they go keyfabe about Swann tonight
Yeah it will be interesting to see what they do now
Isn't his court appearance today? I would say unless his wife speaks up or drops charges it will be all over for him today.
Yeah but he is suspended and I would imagine will stay that way until they decide what to do.
Besides what's listed in the thread title, these matches have also been confirmed by WWE.com:
-Braun Strowman vs. Kane
-Alicia Fox vs. Asuka
The preview on WWE.com makes no mention of the Cruiserweight tournament. So who knows what will happen with that... Hopefully my man Gran Metalik gets another chance!!
I reckon they'll just say Swann was suspended and replace him somehow. Itami showing up early seems likely to me.
Some live babblings from the madmen (plural) would be nice.
Everything else tonight is gravy.
Sad to see Sheamus is suffering from spinal stenosis. Trust me.
JUST ANNOUNCED:
-Reigns vs Cesaro is now officially a title match.
-Braun vs Kane is now officially a #1 Contender’s Match! (The winner will face Brock at the Royal Rumble show on Jan. 28!)
It's what retired Stone Cold and Edge. Hopefully it doesn't shorten Sheamus' career but odds are he won't be around much longer.Originally Posted by NWo4LifeOr2Years
That could be a good way to get to a Brock/Braun/Reigns triple threat at Mania.
It's going to take a hell of swerve for me to feel optimistic of this main event at the Rumble, based on who is currently in the mix.
No Braun for the Rumble though
I think they should hold another multi-man match. Winner faces Gulak...
Tozawa would be my pick in a pinch...
They could do a segment where to En-W-Zo are celebratory because Rich Swann got suspended, making his title opportunity forfeit, and Kurt comes in and rains on their parade...
What has Kane done since coming back? Has he won any matches? I haven't watched a lot of Raw the past few weeks.
He's beaten Seth Rollins, Finn Balor and Jason Jordan...
With the exception of his loss at TLC and altercations with Strowman that go back and forth, he's pretty much been unstoppable...
Which is what you would want if you were booking the guy towards a big Strowman monster match...
David Keith voice over!!!!!
That Anora medication sounds like it would kill pretty much everyone who takes it.
Are all the Canadian Wrestlers on SmackDown?
Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Bobby Roode, Chris Jericho, Tye Dillinger, Jinder Mahal, Natalya...
I'm still waiting for the moment when a bunch of of people are in the ring, and suddenly they realize most of them are Canadian and then they all turn alla ECW during the Invasion angle.
Now I kind of want a sitcom with Bray and Matt where Bray is the straight man and Matt is the weird one
Get the wyatt family back together against the hardy family and do a brady bunch opeing credits theme.Now I kind of want a sitcom with Bray and Matt where Bray is the straight man and Matt is the weird one
Drew Gulak: "As you know"
Drew Gulak is great.
I love it when one character explains something to another character that they already know, entirely for the benefit of the audience...
I ship Enzo and Nia...
She can be the Diesel to his HBK...
Holy fuck I really really think the BAR/Shield stuff has gone on long enough.
the matches have been good but I really think I've seen more than enough of it now.
I think I smell a Lesner vs Strowman vs Kane match at the Rumble.
I shall now duck quickly before the ring fills with garbage....
Yes, Corey, things are all looking great for the Celtic Warrior except for, you know, that whole spinal thing
Now that we know about Sheamus's spinal stenosis I find my self getting nervous every bump he is taking in the head/neck.
She has far more talent than he does - I'd say she's more like Chyna while he's an WWF version of Jeff Jarrett, but I like her too much.I ship Enzo and Nia...
She can be the Diesel to his HBK...
She's the Wrecking Ball with a Million Dollar Smile, and she should show off her smile more.
Brock excels in multi man matches. Could be a surprisingly good triple threat.
kane in a brock lesnar match is just insufferable though.
Really no need for sheamus doing top rope suplexes anymore.
I guess they will make Seth sell that knee the rest of his career.
I really hope the Nia/Enzo is not some form of punshment. Enzo is always in the dog house and Nia took that time off after bashing the writers. I am not down for fat shaming her in this odd couple type of way. I am down for this version of Eddie/Chyna.
One would hope that Kane would throw everything he has into the match and bump more than usual.
Tribute to the Troops airs this Thursday on USA Network...
The Card...
Six Man Tag
The Shield vs. Joe and The Bar
Six Woman Tag
Bayley, Sasha & Mickie vs. Absolution
WWE SmackDown Women's Championship
Charlotte vs. Ruby Riot
Eight Man Tag
Usos & New Day vs. BenGable & Rusev Day
Six Man Tag
Nakamura, AJ & Orton vs. KO, Jinder & Zayn
Which is weird because not every wrestler has to do this. Did Austin or Edge have to sell their necks in every match? Have they even made Paige's neck an issue? I can't remember the last time Balor had to sell his shoulder
I haven't watched 205 Live in forever and don't always pay attention to the matches on RAW, but that was quite entertaining. Cedric looked really good too. Felt like the match was built around him.
Its a shame the Cruiserweights have no juice going into these matches, because this was a great match. Crowd got into at the end. Cole badgering Gulak was so bad, Booker lookied good on commentary for making fun of Cole being street and that maybe the best use of Booker this decade.
They should turn Gulak face.
If he turns face, he should do this move...
Asuka made her outfit from the corpses of a thousand muppets...
Looks like the RAW Women found the Absolution Solution.
Absolutely...
Now they're facing Obsoletion...
I guess Jordan interfering keeps both guys looking strong.
I like how a TV-MA show is airing after Raw.
Ambrose and Joe can definitely do better than that.
It makes a lot of sense for Joe to look strong, since he's the new variable in the Shield feud...
Off night...
Pretty much the opposite of Reigns/Cesaro...
Agreed. I just think Joe and Dean can have a much better match under different circumstances.
Having The Roots contribute the theme for Clash of Champions is pretty dope.
Poor gallows and Anderson the are now back stage fodder
More like she stole Joseph's Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.Asuka made her outfit from the corpses of a thousand muppets...
Will their armpits even make to Royal Rumble!?!
They cut the armpit shot out of the promo package.
Christ, what a lame ending.
You'd think these badass monsters wouldn't be so hurt by a flimsy little barricade.
I'm loving this Braun and Kane stuff to be honest...
Everyone should see that, Reigns vs. Cesaro and the Absolution/Asuka confrontation...
And the cruiserweight fatal fourway...
I've now got Sky Sports Action, or whatever channel carries Raw over here, and I can't decide between watching this tonight or Superbrawl IX.
Yup!
Freaking awesome.
Alexa even got in on it. Surprising after she had bailed every time Absolution attacked in the past.
Anyone notice that it looked like the women had to cover up for their match in Abu Dhabi last week?
I was wondering why Sasha was wearing the full bodysuit. I thought it was another one of her tributes, but maybe not.
From the clip I saw she and Alexa were both wearing the full bodysuits.
Yes, they were both wearing full body suits. Rules 'n' shit.
All I have to say is PLEASE get rid of Booker on announcing, I say it every week I know but sweet Jesus he gets on my nerves
Women's division's getting interesting. Nia Jax's new rainbow braids and newer ring gear are awesome.
This Woken/Broken Hardy stuff doesn't do anything for me.
Boo to the finish of Braun/Kane. Boo to Kane being in the Universal Title match. I'll change those to yays if Braun beats them at the Rumble.
You will be keeping it to boos then, according to Meltzer they are going to have Kane take the fall to BraunWomen's division's getting interesting. Nia Jax's new rainbow braids and newer ring gear are awesome.

Worst finisher in the WWE.
They cannot even give it a name.
The knee to the nose like Rollins gave Cena would be a good finisher:
You Can't Cenose.
I know. But then I can at least be happy Braun doesn't take the fall. Dude can go on to be the guy that takes the belt off Reigns after Reigns solves the Brock problem.You will be keeping it to boos then, according to Meltzer they are going to have Kane take the fall to Braun
Brock is definitely pinning Kane.
Kane in a WWE title match at the 2nd biggest PPV of the year in 2018?
This company is the fucking shits at building stars.
I heard Dean's replacement was either Jason Jordan or Finn Balor. I'm really annoyed they didn't go with Finn. Now that Dean is out. They could of built a story out of Seth and Finn and even create a match at Wrestlemania. They could of even brought Gallows and Anderson into the mix. The Club beats down on Rollins and Reigns building up to the September PPV then BAM! DEAN AMBROSE RETURNS! and people are excited The Shield vs The Club 2.0.
Also Balor was so hot before he got injured. Now WWE doesn't give a damn anymore.
He had been given a monster push (bigger than anything Reigns ever had) but I wouldn't describe it as hot. The reaction was mild when he made his first Raw appearance on the stage and it stayed that way.
