Tonight, on the depleted roster edition of the With Spandex WWE Raw open discussion thread:
Update: Mr. McMahon will return to Raw tonight, WWE.com has learned.
After being Superman Punched by WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns two weeks ago, it’s safe to assume that The Chairman will have a lot on his mind.

Our five-point preview:
1. If you’re wondering why the Dot Com preview is so, “uhhhhh, I don’t know, Mr. McMahon’s here?” it’s because half the roster is at a house show. So, unless they’re flying everybody from show to show on a helicopter, we may actually get an episode of WWE TV without a Wyatt Family/Dudley Boyz match on it. PRAISE BE.
2. As the preview mentioned, Mr. McMahon will return for the first time since he kicked Roman Reigns in the nuts and got punched in the face for it. Maybe this week he’ll fight Tom Phillips!
3. Also, don’t know if you’ve heard, but Big Match John is back. John Cena returns to Raw for the first time since getting murked by Alberto Del Rio at Hell in a Cell and taking a two-month vacation. Del Rio might as well be one of those lambs Yellowjacket f*cked up trying to shrink in the middle of Ant-Man.
4. The New Day retained the Tag Team Championship on Smackdown, so look for them to lose a non-title match tonight. It’s your turn, The Ascension. Haha, just kidding.
5. If half the roster is at a different show, does that mean we can get some fresh faces on Raw? Can we at least get the more infrequent, stale faces? Can Damien Sandow catch a break? Maybe we can finally do that Bo Dallas/R-Truth match we were all looking forward to?
As always, we’re including 10 of our favorite comments from the open discussion thread in tomorrow’s Best and Worst of Raw column. There should be a lot to talk about, at least. To nominate a comment for consideration, reply to it with a +1.
Enjoy the show, everybody.
