Tonight, on the post-Payback With Spandex WWE Raw open discussion thread. Words!
Last night at WWE Payback, Mr. McMahon decreed that both of his children will share the responsibility of running Monday Night Raw. What do the warring siblings have in store? WWE.com has some ideas. (via WWE.com)
Our five-point preview:
1. Welcome to the first episode after the first pay-per-view of the New Era! It features McMahons in charge but bickering at each other, and Roman Reigns is the champion. Completely new era, folks. Because … Tyler Breeze? I don’t know.
2. Be sure you’ve read the Best and Worst of Payback before watching tonight’s Raw.
3. Chris Jericho tweeted that he was done with WWE for now which means there’s what, a 60% chance of him showing up on Raw tonight? Chris Jericho is basically the Duck Season/Rabbit Season bit of wrestling characters.
4. But yeah, Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon are in co-control of Raw. Triple H apparently burst into dust and ash when he lost the WWE Championship to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania and has no power whatsoever. They should just reveal that he’s an active wrestler again and put him in a match against Fandango. Tell me you don’t want to see Triple H vs. Fandango on Raw tonight.
5. The WWE.com preview says that due to Enzo Amore’s injury, “the No. 1 contendership to The New Day’s WWE Tag Team Titles hangs in the balance.” Did the Vaudevillains not win that match? If you get KO’d do you not lose anymore?
Hey! We’re including 10 of our favorite comments from tonight’s open discussion thread in tomorrow’s Best and Worst of Raw column. To nominate your favorites for consideration, reply to them with a +1. Enjoy the show, and keep the dream of a deformed third McMahon child alive!
