Daniel Bryan is a once in a lifetime level talent. What an incredible performer. At least for one week he stole the show from Becky. God damn is he good.

Just a thought about Mania. We are probably going to be getting Becky Lynch beating Ronda Rousey in the main event so much like WM 30 people will probably look past any potential problems with the other big matches because we are getting the massive cathartic ending

Well the one from earlier this year was people just theorizing and speculating. This time Meltz says it's the plan for Mania. Doesn't necessarily mean Brock will still be champion though

Alexa was training at the PC today so have to assume she's on the way to getting cleared. I wonder if that changes some of their creative plans as rumors was she was going to be the next GM if they boot Corbin

Loved the Joe promo. He's been underutilized lately. At least on the mic

Has to be he worst Raw this year. Wow was that terrible

That segment was worse than anything Seth and Dean did last week and that was real bad too

My God Nia should not be doing comedy in her promos

He's being given terrible material. I'm not sure if anyone could get this over. Hmm I still like him. At least he's committing to this stuff

They must not expect Alexa back in the ring anytime soon with them giving her that role. didn't Brooke Hogan have that title in TNA like 7/8 years ago?

Man, he always seemed like a genuinely good guy when he was on with Dave. And even though he was from a different generation he didn't put down or overly criticize current wrestlers or the current product. Just loved the wrestling business. RIP

Probably in the minority here but I agree with this. Everyone acting like every tweet of hers is the greatest burn of all time is getting old

I liked a decent portion of SD but damn WWE TV this week seemed to evaporate all the positive vibes and momentum this show built up

There was a post show dark match of heel Bryan v babyface Miz that apparently got over huge

Great promo from Bryan. Love how he changed his look to match character change. The next member of Raven's flock? Extra in a Weezer video? Love it.

Looks like they are dropping the Shane heel stuff. With Bryan turning it was not needed. Miz was fantastic in that segment

I know there are a lot of people down on Ambrose star power wise but his 2016 run with the title did very well on the house shows, drawing the same or even slightly better than Roman. And that was coming off the Brock program where he was made to look completely inept. He's also one of the top merch sellers in the company. Of course he was greatly helped by the Shield stuff but he's done okay to very good on his own. Right now he is being booked terribly. Also if you go by twitter he has an incredibly loyal fan base. And they are mostly young. I'm not saying he can be the guy but he's always going to have a decent spot

In fairness to Dean they are giving him generic heel stuff to work with here. He needs better material

Man watching the replay and Braun's elbow looks even more fucked up

Another extended heel beatdown. Yet another staple of Heyman bookIng

Holy shit Braun's elbow. That doesn't look good. Yeesh

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if he has been helping out Becky lately

So this has been alluded to recently but .Heyman has to have had a big hand in creative the last few months or so, right? At least since September or so with all these heel turns and shooty type interviews. He's backstage at Raw working with Ronda every week. All this stuff just screams Paul E. I think he has Vince's ear more than he ever has. I'm not saying he's writing all the shows entirely but his fingerprints are on them

also from Dave. Roman v Dean was the likely mania match before Roman became ill just my guess but I'm thinking they drop the Shane heel turn all together now. With Bryan heel it makes it sorta redundant and pointless

Observer: Becky v Ronda is set to headline mania Shane v Bryan was planned for mania but has been dropped with Bryan turning heel
