WWE Raw Open Discussion Thread 8/22/16

Tonight on the With Spandex WWE Raw open discussion thread:

Unleashing the full power of The Demon King on Seth Rollins last night at SummerSlam, Finn Bálor made history by becoming the first WWE Universal Champion. What awaits when the mysterious Superstar brings his newly won prize to Raw? (via WWE.com)

Our five-point preview:

1. SummerSlam was last night. That probably won’t factor into anything on Raw. Heck, I bet they won’t even mention SummerSlam!

2. There are going to be some main roster call-ups. I mean, I assume there will be. We’re in the land of the new brand extension, NXT just ended some storylines at TakeOver, and the Raw after SummerSlam is the new Raw after WrestleMania as far as news goes. Will Bayley come up? Will Samoa Joe have a staredown with Brock Lesnar? One thing is for sure: Heath Slater will get beaten up.

3. The Dudley Boyz are scheduled to say “goodbye” tonight. Which probably means Bubba will turn on D-Von (or “Devon,” if you’re Enzo Amore) and we’ll get the WWE debut of BULLY RAY. If he got some Just For Men going on, he could be Black Top Bully Ray.

4. The Club won via DQ last night, so will we get another title match against The New Day tonight? Further, will the Bálor Club intrigue continue with the brand-new WWE Universal Champion?

5. Rusev and Roman Reigns’ feud is far from finished. Tune in tonight, when the good guy punts an adorable puppy in a wheelchair into the balcony while the bad guy saves Cub Scouts from a burning building and everyone acts like he’s the asshole.

+1 your favorite comments from tonight’s open discussion and we’ll include 10 of our favorites in tomorrow’s Best and Worst of Raw column. Enjoy the show!
