On his new DVD, Batista will talk about the Royal Rumble disaster. I wonder how much he will disclose. And man when Hunter talks about NXT it's really hard not to like the guy

There was a midde aged female Undertaker fan that attended a bunch of wwe shows in mid 90s. She wore a veil a few times and had the foam urn. She seemed like a shady character back then Btw I hope they have something planned for Bryan on Sunday. The Chicago crowd will take a collective dump on the show if he simply hands over the titles. Something has to be up. A face authority figure to combat Hunter and Stephanie has to be in the plans, right? Anything else is going to be a disappointment. A Brie v Steph match won't be enough

At the SD tapings last night a female fan jumped the guard rail to get at the Shield. I can't imagine the life these guys are living on the road

Still trying to figure out the point of the backstage Steph/Del Rio segment. I guess it was just to show both were still in the building

Set up for the 6/29 MITB PPV

Just think almost a year ago exactly they were trying to get Curtis Axel over as a top heel by concussing Hunter and aligning him with Heyman. A year later we are probably headed for a Brie Bella v Stephanie McMahon match that will decide the fate of the world champion. Weird stuff happens in wwe in the spring months

Can't believe this is the same company that produced the go home shows for Mania. I guess this is really the nature of the business right now. Take the good while it lasts

Probably an overreaction but WWE feels like an ice cold product right now. At least compared to the build to mania. Hopefully just the Spring time slump

This show will not end

This raw has felt seven hours long. Just brutal

I'm guessing it ends with Brie goading Steph into a match. If Steph wins Brie is fired and if .brie wins Steph must stay out of Bryan's business (or something of that ilk). Doesn't make sense why Steph would accept to I expect Brie to incite her somehow

Wedgie!!!

So what was the Steph/Del Rio deal about?

Sort of lame they promised a decision tonight and drag it to the PPV. I guess the logical thing would be .brie challenging Steph with her job on the line

And they drag out the title picture to the PPV. Bryan surrenders title or Brie is fired

Even Steph prompting the yes chant in the opening got no reaction

This has been the deadest crowd for a Raw in quite some time. Lack of Bryan taking its toll?

Del Rio involved in the Steph/Bryan angle? He's ice cold as a character. Maybe it was just a throwaway deal

JBL tries to protect Lawler and gets bet down! Holy shit this could be good

"What does he mean by skinny jeans sell out?" "Hey you got big legs." Okay that made me laugh

That was the least amount of heat a Stephanie/Hunter promo has drawn in quite some time. Maybe the live crowds are getting sick of it. I'm sure the Bryan segment with Steph will do much better but man

Basically Stephanie is the top heel in the promotion and can't take bumps. I guess Hunter can take them for her but still it's frustrating

All the heel heat is going to Stephanie and Hunter. Even more tonight. Again not taking anything away from their performances but I can't wait for this Authority stuff to be over. We are going on 10 months of this

I saw it at cageside. The rest of the news is from Bryan so I assumed the title stuff was attributed to him. Guess not. No idea where they got it from then
