After Sami Zayn managed to survive his onslaught at Roadblock: End of the Line, the furious Braun Strowman wanted nothing more than to eviscerate The Underdog from the Underground this past week on Raw. Unfortunately, Raw General Manager Mick Foley gave Zayn the night off, leading Strowman to unleash his anger on Sin Cara, Titus O’Neil, several crewmembers and, at the end of the night, U.S. Champion Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.

It remains to be seen if The Monster Among Men will face consequences for his actions, but if Strowman is allowed to roam free on Raw this coming Monday night in Chicago, pain will surely follow.

Charlotte Flair is pretty proud of herself after defeating Sasha Banks in a 30-Minute WWE Iron Man Match at Roadblock: End of the Line to become the new Raw Women’s Champion, but it had to sting a little bit when Bayley scored a non-title victory over her on Monday night, bringing The Huggable One to 3-0 against the self-professed “Iron Queen.”

One has to imagine that a Raw Women’s Title opportunity is on the horizon for Bayley given her successes against Charlotte. To paraphrase her theme song, there ain’t no stopping her now

After being forced to attend sensitivity training on Raw — punishment for his “revealing” post-shower mishap back in November — Enzo Amore’s misery continued when he fell victim to a two-on-one assault, courtesy of Rusev and his sensitivity training classmate, Jinder Mahal.

Big Cass already had unfinished business with The Super Athlete, but now The Realest Guys in the Room have even more reason to bludgeon The Bulgarian Brute and his apparent ally, the so-called “Man Who Comes in Peace.” Will these “haters” get a certified beatdown from The Certified Gs?

Is rusev a face? Every stroyline seems to be home defending his wife

If Bayley gets a longer, un-interrupted, reign than Sasha than you Vince really dislikes Sasha

Its interesting because the rumored wrestlemania opponent for Sasha

Spoiler

is lita

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[Angry Grimace]

People still get shook by Meltzer ratings, incredible.

Can't wait for Nak to hit main roster and people to fall over each other praising everything he touches.

The second he hits the main roster people will say he's a geek who mails it in and can't cut a promo.

That's interesting. I was wondering why they didn't roll her out for Asuka after Trish fell through.

 

[Into the Light]

The Bailey stuff sounds like the Ellsworth stuff.

 

[Zach]

I'm glad you guys are already on high alert for opinions to disagree with in the future. >_>

 

[Professor Beef]

Opinions can change, wow what a shock

 

[somedevil]

It was always going to be Mickie James. She been wrestling in Indies and

Spoiler

Lita hasn't done a match in 10 years. So if this is going to happen she has be getting into ring shape

This is interesting. WWE put up a Samoa Joe and John Cena video talking about their history together.

Wasn't she recently let go from her job on the pre show? Seems weird to bring her back after that

Oh, interesting. I thought Trish was at the performance centre getting ready for something six months back or something? I don't know. I need to stop buying into rumours. I get too excite d

 

[Zach]

I finally watched that recent Iron Man between Sasha and Charlotte. Pretty good. Three and a quarter.

I think I'm gonna go back in time and watch Sasha vs. Bayley and see if it's as great as I thought it was in the moment...

Yeah its just a rumor. Though if want to give Sasha a big match who else can they use other than Asuka?

Waiting on your definitive ranking of every Bayley match.

read this sentence out loud

 

[Professor Beef]

"The Huggable One."

smh

 

[Zach]

Waiting on your definitive ranking of every Bayley match.

Look for the Bay Rankz in '22, brother.

"The Huggable One."

smh

One day you'll know the warmth of an embrace, Mr. Beef.

 

[SallyIsNow]

I want Zach to rate every Bull James match.

 

[Zach]

What a gah dang fantastic match.

 

[Heroman]

The Carnies are up
So vote you Marks

 

[Zach]

The post-match is still so touching. :')

Shame about "diva" still being a thing then.

 

[Zach]

The Carnies are up
So vote you Marks

Uhhh... where is Matt Hardy in that Wrestler of the Year section? Seems rigged, guy. Rigged!

P.S. Haha, The Miz.

P.P.S. Some of these typos are killing me, Heroman. C'mon!

P.P.P.S. : )

 

[Data West]

The Carnies are up
So vote you Marks

That underrated listing

gaf not too good with what 'underrated' means

 

[imBask]

Voted

I was super honest and gave Jericho some props!

 

[Zach]

Why isn't The Miz (haha) in the "Best on the mic" section? I thought that's what you guys were always rubbing one out over?

 

[Data West]

Why isn't The Miz (haha) in the "Best on the mic" section? I thought that's what you guys were always rubbing one out over?

I was also wondering that

 

[oneofthose]

why is roman reigns on the overrated when everyone constantly craps on him and his matches?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Really fucking unfair for me to have to choose between HHH and Dean for Most Overrated

But in the end, Fuck HHH

 

[Zach]

Oh man, Heroman, your run on top is coming to an abrupt end, brother.

 

[blackaroni]

P.P.S. Some of these typos are killing me, Heroman. C'mon!

[Barrage]

Roman Reigns being on Most Overrated is a joke.

Also,not being able to say to vote for WWE as Promotion of the Year without a snarky insult is trashy (and I say that someone who wouldn't have voted for them.)

 

[Zach]

Who usually runs these awards? NeoGAF Vince McMahon?

F'ing NeoGAF Vince McMahon...

 

[Professor Beef]

P.P.S. Some of these typos are killing me, Heroman. C'mon!

For real, did slightconfuse proofread this?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

For real, did slightconfuse proofread this?

Now that's rude

Implying he'd stop shilling Lapsed Fan long enough to organize an award series

smh

 

[Mubbed]

I thought Big Japan had enough positive buzz this year for at least some recognition (Strong BJ and Twin Towers at the very least).

[Sweeney Tom]

We need to be glad to throw it in their face more

#WatchOtherShit2017 is nigh

I've tried for 3 years

It's not happening.

 

[Zach]

Sweeney Tom, I don't need you to start riding me like Dato, okay? He's been doing it for three years already.

 

[avengers23]

The options are easier than ever. Don't want to pay? Watch Big Japan, NOAH, All Japan, and a bunch of other puroresu on the RealHero Archive. Paying for the WWE Network?

Why not pay for NJPW World, Demand Progress, FloSlam, RevPro On Demand, Stardom World, or DDT Universe instead?

But WWE viewers will always make up the majority.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

I've tried for 3 years

It's not happening.

I'm trying, only so much time. Looking to use 2017 for more NJPW & Progress

 

[British Monsoon]

We've got a fair few people here watching PROGRESS now, which is progress. More non-NJPW Japan talk would be welcome though.

Incidentally, if you haven't watched the main event from Fortune Dream 3 yet (I'm looking at you, Zach), please do so; https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5rK95X3mRiianBVMTB5YWZkY0U

Best tag match this year. Yes, better than that other tag match you're all thinking of.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Is that one ROH archive still up?

 

[Heroman]

Is that one ROH archive still up?

Yes

 

[avengers23]

And there's a surprising amount of chatter during Evolve shows.

 

[MC Safety]

Wasn't she recently let go from her job on the pre show? Seems weird to bring her back after that

I think Lita has back or neck troubles and can't wrestle anymore.

She was fired as a commentator most likely because she is awful.

 

[MG310]

There should be a "Most Carny Moment of the Year" award.

Things like..

Billy Corgan/TNA lawsuit

Orton/Brock

Brock's piss burning through to the center of the Earth and WWE ignoring it but handing out wellness suspensions for late paperwork.

The Paige/Alberto Del Rio Saga

etc.
