Tonight on the With Spandex WWE Raw open discussion thread:
With his clash with Brock Lesnar at WWE Battleground looming on the horizon, Seth Rollins is undoubtedly clutching his WWE World Heavyweight Championship a little tighter these days. After all, The Beast Incarnate not only demolished J&J Security’s Cadillac last Monday night, but put both Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury on the shelf during his rampage. Who will watch The Architect’s back this Monday night in Atlanta, when The Anomaly is in the building?
Join WWE.com as we preview the final Raw before WWE Battleground. (via WWE.com)
Our five-point preview:
1. The Brock Lesnar/Seth Rollins feud will continue to send me down a rabbit hole of fantasy booking ideas, including “Brock Lesnar runs to the ring with a briefcase and tries to cash it in on Rollins … the referee explains that Brock can’t cash in a normal briefcase, so Brock just beats Rollins to death with a regular men’s briefcase.”
2. This is an especially important show for Cesaro, who has become everyone’s darling again after two weeks of tearing it up in U.S. Championship matches with John Cena. If we can get to and through Battleground without stepping backwards and putting him as MAN No. 6 in a six-man tag against The New Day, we’ll be ready for Cesaro/Owens and the best days of our summer.
3. The Roman Reigns/Bray Wyatt feud will continue with Paige showing up in 1920s formal wear and explaining to Roman that there’s always a man, there’s always a lighthouse, and there’s always a mid-match distraction.
4. It’s the final Raw before Battleground, so now’s the time to pull the trigger on Charlotte and Sasha Banks showing up to help Paige defeat Team Bella. Or, knowing WWE, lose to Team Bella and get told they’re all jealous, causing them to fight among themselves. Still, Sasha Banks on Raw, please and thank you.
5. Backstage, Damien Sandow considers cosplaying as somebody who still gives a sh*t about Damien Sandow.
