Tonight, on the With Spandex WWE Raw open discussion thread:
Goldberg has accepted Paul Heyman’s challenge to fight Brock Lesnar, and now The Beast Incarnate is coming to Raw, live in Minneapolis, to address the impending battle. Plus, Seth Rollins, Chris Jericho and WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens battle it out in a Triple Threat Match, and Cesaro & Sheamus take on Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day! (via WWE.com)
Our five-point preview:
1. Brock Lesnar will respond to Goldberg’s acceptance of his challenge — how many times do we have to respond to each other before something’s official? — and I don’t care what they do as long as it ends with him pulling kids out of the front row when he’s done and German suplexing them for emphasis.
2. Cesaro and Sheamus have pinned the Tag Team Champions!
3. We were really hoping one of this week’s WWE.com talking points was, “Is Dana Brooke Fired?” followed by a short paragraph about how if we fucked up like that on the job that many times we’d be out on the street, flexing for spare change. Maybe Emmalina will show up and change Dana’s name to Brooke-arino.
4. Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho vs. Seth Rollins is your main event. Insert “Chris Jericho has pinned the Universal Champion!” or “Seth Rollins has pinned the Universal Champion!” based on your best instincts.
5. According to the Dot Com preview, it looks like we’re doing Braun Strowman vs. Sami Zayn tonight. Congratulations on being one step up from Johnny Knockout, Sami!
