-OFFICIAL MONDAY NIGHT RAW GAMETHREAD-
>Keep all discussion here throughout the show
>A battle for control will hang over the May 2 edition of WWE Raw.
>Per Vince McMahon's decree on Sunday night, both Shane and Stephanie McMahon will be at the helm of the marquee show. So as in-ring rivals continue to collide after the Payback pay-per-view, two authority figures will be in a fight of their own.
>St. Louis hosts the post-Payback Raw as WWE has to start building toward Extreme Rules right away. There is only a three-week gap between PPVs this time around.
>That means that Roman Reigns and AJ Styles' issues will heat up quickly, Natalya's pursuit of the Women's Championship won't feature any slow-burn storytelling and the tag team title picture will have to clear up in a hurry.
>What can fans expect to see unfold on Monday's Raw? Who will show up and who will be out of action? The Raw preview on WWE.com, backstage reports and a look at social media reveal answers to those questions. As thrilling as much of the action was on Sunday, the PPV's lasting image has to be Enzo Amore banging his head on the ring apron in a scary moment during his match. Medical staff then transported him out of the arena and into a local hospital.WWE later announced that Amore had suffered a concussion Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com added more information on his condition. Johnson reported, "According to sources we have spoken with, Enzo Amore regained consciousness after being brought backstage last night. He was diagnosed with a pretty bad concussion and was released last night from the hospital but will be held out until he is cleared by WWE medical personnel."

Is it still 1am bong time?
BADA BOOM
SAWFTEST NECK IN THE ROOM
HOW YOU DOIN
That means Amore is out for at least Monday's Raw. WWE has been extremely careful with concussed wrestlers in the recent past.
In less serious news, signs point to Stardust possibly making a character change.
Cody Rhodes has moved away from staying in character on Twitter of late. In place of the Stardust persona, he has been himself. A recent photo showed him without his makeup, showing off a tattoo that honors his late father.

I think the entrance mic drop was worse than the injury.

do people actually watch monday night raw?
how can you not do anything but

>Nailed it.
;^)
>>1255060
Where are you pulling this from? Your asshole?
>>1255103
I read the results and give it a cheeky download if anything interesting happened. Same with PPVs really, except Rumble and Mania.
>>1255084
>55:55
Nailed it
>>1255106
He has made hints at a gimmick switch in the past, but nothing has come of it yet.
Don't count on seeing The Architect in St. Louis. Rumors about Seth Rollins potentially showing up on WWE programming again are apparently not true.
Johnson wrote, "Rollins was not at the Payback PPV and is not scheduled for this week's TV tapings."
>Payback Fallout
Natalya and Charlotte's battle for the Women's Championship certainly doesn't appear to be over.
Once again, they had a match end in controversy. When Natalya locked in the Sharpshooter at Payback, the referee called for the bell despite the challenger not tapping out. That is sure to lead to an angry Natalya on Monday night.
The Raw preview stated, "Undoubtedly, Natalya has unfinished business with Charlotte, whose family clearly orchestrated the questionable turn of events. Might The Queen of Harts strike back against the champion tonight on Raw?"
>>1255108
Same pretty much, but I actually wanted to watch Payback because just about all of the matches on paper were good, and Raw has been somewhat decent of late.
>>1255114
With Extreme Rules just three weeks away, WWE won't be taking its time with this storyline. Expect Natalya to lunge at Charlotte in a hurry, setting up a rematch for the next PPV.
Sunday's show was supposed to decide the No. 1 contenders to the tag team titles. Amore's injury, though, prevented that from happening. That creates a lack of clarity with the championship picture, something Raw promises to address.
"As Amore recovers from his injury, the No. 1 contendership to The New Day's WWE tag team titles hangs in the balance. Expect more on this developing story tonight on Raw," the Raw preview reads.
As for the Intercontinental Championship, it's a lot more obvious who is in line for a title shot. A chaotic scene at Payback pointed to Kevin Owens, Cesaro and Sami Zayn all mixing it up with The Miz.
>>1255108
>reading results
why not just watch PPVs and not really care about wrestling otherwise desu
>>1255124
>Owens and Zayn's feud spilled over into Miz and Cesaro's. Then all four men started swinging at each other. Look for that to continue as WWE moves toward a Fatal 4-Way match for the IC title.
>The Reigns vs. Styles rivalry will be a crowded one. The Usos, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows will all be a part of the story. They certainly were on Sunday night when the champion's and challenger's allies brawled outside the ring during Payback's main event.
>The Raw preview hinted at more of the same coming. It reads, "Will Gallows and Anderson find a way to get involved in this rivalry as they've done in recent weeks, or will The Usos keep Styles' longtime running buddies at bay?"
>You can bet on that. A big part of the appeal of this rivalry has been all of its moving parts. Those will continue to play a major factor with the relationship between these allies evolving.
>>1255103
i read the results and watch the segments of my guys
>>1255084
> 00:00:00
>Nailed it.
Usos and Roman vs. Styles and friends is definitely going to be the main event tonight, right?
>>1255103
>put it on TV
>pay zero attention
>hear someone you like
>pay brief attention
>person you like leaves
>pay zero attention
>>1255142
Nah, that's just how it'll end.
>>1255142
Obviously
>>1255092
That'd be an interesting gimmick. I thought they were going to build a feud between Cody and Crews over him dropping Dusty's name during their promo.
Why does Cody love jobbing to black guys
yeah I know the ONE(1) Spear finish was shitty, but isn't the superman punch also his finisher? I mean they certainly treat it as such.
So Ramen was hit with 4 finishers, and wasn't AJ hit with 4 as well?
3 superman punches and a spear?
I knew ramen would win but I'm happy that AJ got thrown from a WM loss right into the main event. I think it's obvious he'll get it this year.
granted I said the same thing about Dean last year, and he's currently sitting buried under a pile of rogain
>>1255196
>I think it's obvious he'll get it this year.
As if Vince would put the belt on a guy who made his name elsewhere. These guys are in the main event for one thing only: to be fed to Roman.
>>1255196
Superman Punch only finishes jobbers.
>>1255196
No it's a signature.
Triple H's spinebuster, Cena's five knuckle shuffle, Orton's rope-DDT, Roman's sooperpooper punch
What snacks do you guys eat during Raw?
How many hors till RAW?
>>1255206
Nothing because I'm not a fatty
>>1255196
AJ is not getting shit.
Welcome to the Reigns of Terror.
>>1255103
I usually just keep it on for background noise while doing something else like playing vidya or browsing /asp/; then if something intresting happens I look at the tv. Best way to watch
>>1255218
>Welcome to the Reigns of Terror.
>>1255221
Pretty sure his finisher is the forearm because they wont risk breaking guys necks for a shitty looking finisher.
>>1255221
AJ's finish is the forearm now, I think
What all was Roman hit with, last night?
Gallow/Anderson's fireman's carry single-legged dropkick thingy and two forearms?
>>1255235
he was hit with 3 forearms
>>1255208
Let me guess you're the loser who said he was drinking ON whey + water during Raw from last week
>>1255235
i thought it was 3 forearms and the boot of doom, and he fought out of a clash
>>1255238
>ON whey
don't even know what that is
>>1255246
It's a jewish saying.
MY NECK IS S-A-W-F-T SAAAAAAAAWFT

who has the highest power level in wwe history
Now that the baseball slide has taken out two superstars, when will it be banned?
>>1255268
On the current roster, probably cena
Out of people on legends contracts, probably stone cold if you pretend his neck isn't damaged to shit
>>1255268
it depends, does no selling moves count also?
>>1255268
Andre pre-1987
>>1255268
1 Cena
2 Lesnar
3 Undertaker
4 Hogan
5 HHH
>>1255277
I was thinking more just kicking out of multiple finishers
>>1255282
Oh, then Cena
>>1255268
Taker at Wrestlemania is probably the strongest
>>1255268
Ultimate Warrior
>>1255268
Undertaker maybe. Didn't he take like three pedigrees and scm at wm27? two of those finishers being right after each other too

Fucking Carlito would have kicked out of all dem forearms.
2Cold Pedo Mod just made a game thread so i expect this one to mysteriously get pruned in about 5-10 mins.
>>1255324
cartman pls
>>1255338
Did they?
Roman has the highest power level of all-time
He kicked out the strongest finisher canonically in WWE history (roll-up)
He has never lost cleanly, EVER
He has beat or
Will beat: Triple H, Randy Orton, John Cena, Brock Lesnar. Dudes with top 10-20 power levels
He is kayfabe potenially the greatest of all-time as stated by Paul Heyman
>>1255345
What about Warrior
>>1255345
>He kicked out the strongest finisher canonically in WWE history (roll-up)
>>1255349
Warrior beat Hogan CLEANLY....hmmm, it's either him or Roman
>>1255344
randy savage got there first.
Would Roman have been the one to break the streak if Brock never came back
>>1255349
He got up immediately after a pedigree, he's canonically the most powerful wrestler of all time.
>>1255254
New Day just sitting there.
>Fuck, I hope he's ok. We can't help, we can't leave, we can only sit here and hope he isn't dead.
>>1255357
The timeline would have been drastically different if Brock never came back.
CM Punk might have never came up with the shield in that timeline.
>>1255358
>He got up immediately after a pedigree
That just tells me he doesn't know how to sell shit.
I mean is that all you have to do to be considered strong? Be a bad performer?
>>1255254
>Big Cass

>>1255362
