Roman will face Braun for the US title at Mania (and beat him, obviously)

Even with Vince in love with him I doubt that they will put Roman to fight for the main title for the third year in a row (but maybe he's back on 2018)

I think you mean roman vs Braun for the universal title.

I can bend my arms at the elbow joint like Alexa Bliss did last night. It doesn't hurt, but I forget how people think it looks nasty. When I'm leaning on an outstretched arm, it sits naturally like that, past the normal point, and people freak a little.

The worst part about Cena's burial reign is that it's not over, and Reigns is being built up to be that same superstar, the final boss that always beats new superstars being built up.

Cena should never win going forward, he's done enough.

Confirmed. The only people who think Cena doesn't bury people are fans that haven't watched.

It's called hypermobility. Lots of people have it.

Yeah, his argument basically boiled down to "I don't think Cena buries people because I'm uninformed about all of the talent that has seen their careers sputter out after crossing paths with Cena"

AJ is beating Cena the Rumble. Miz is winning the rumble. AJ vs Miz title for title at Mania. Cena vs Taker career vs career at Mania.

This is what's called misplacing expectations and setting oneself up for disappointment. I have absolutely no sympathy for any of you once reality sets in post-Rumble and you realize we're in for another year of Roman-pushing, Cena-pushing, Triple H-pushing, McMahon-pushing and part-timer-pushing at Mania.

I'd rather see Cena than The Miz or The Undertaker. Don't really find Cena all that entertaining, though. He's too stiff (like a board, not a Vaduh) for my liking.

John Cena is great in and out of the ring and undertaker can still put on a good match. (Unless he suffers a concussion very early in the match)

Undertakers last 3 WM matches were dogshit, so I don't see how that call can be made. Only one involved a concussion.

Even the other Brock match just had that gif.

ABOUT THAT HIP OPERATION

I guess I should've said something when I started getting prayers and well wishes from friends and colleagues alike – including some of the biggest names in the business. I have definitely mentioned that I needed a hip replacement, definitely mentioned that I intended to get one sometime early in 2017, but never actually set a date. I have this little tiny problem in that I don't actually have health insurance.

I had health insurance for 26 years, but the last four years have been tough – with companies sending out letters telling me they will no longer be insuring families, and that I needed to find alternate insurance. By 2016 health insurance was particularly confusing, and after missing one payment, I found myself no longer insured. I am doing my best to be insured in 2017, but nothing is guaranteed, and I have no idea how this new insurance company will feel about replacing a hip that clearly should've been replaced many years ago.

For those wondering why the general manager of Raw needs to procure his own health insurance: well, I'm on a handshake deal. I do the job as long as I enjoy it and feel like I am making a difference, and I do it as long as WWE is happy with me and thinks I'm the best person for the role. No contract involved at all, except for the legends deal, which is strictly about merchandise. For those wondering why I just don't pay out-of-pocket, well it's a $60,000 operation, and I am going to look at some other options before I shell out 60K for an operation. Maybe I will concentrate on landing a couple of TV or film roles and get the far superior AFTRA insurance to take care of the operation. I probably should not be talking about it at all – but the word is out there, and I feel like I owe people an explanation.

Luckily, I am used to the constant pain – and it's not like I wasn't warned by almost every guy in the wrestling business that the moves I was doing as a younger man were going to come back to haunt me. Well, they're haunting me! The weight-loss has helped considerably; without it, and the DDP yoga, I don't believe I could even get through airports. But the constant travel means constant pain. I love being the Raw GM, and I will miss it when it's gone. But my quality of life will probably improve when Stephanie and WWE decide to go in a new direction.

Thank you for your prayers and concern. I am coming off an amazing December, during which I created some memories that I know I will hold onto for a lifetime. I know a lot of people don't get my whole Santa thing. I can only tell you that when that red suit goes on, the very best part of me comes out, and I do some things I am very proud of each December. I had wanted most of December off, but I had made a commitment to the Pittsburgh Children's Hospital, and it meant a lot to me to fulfill that commitment. Then Mr. McMahon said something to me about a shark cage in question with Chris Jericho suspended above it, and I knew I had to be at that Raw. I missed Monday's raw. I should be back for almost every episode until that moment comes when/if the company decides to go in a different direction. If they do, I will simply be grateful for every single day I had a chance to go out and try to make a difference. Some nights I was more successful than others. But deep down I think the superstars in the back know I was doing my best to look out for them - and they know that has not always the case when it comes to the people who fill these roles.

With or without a new hip I'm going to lead a good life. The medical sciences out there to help me lead a life with far less pain. I hope that I am given the opportunity to take advantage of the new technology. Maybe some enterprising orthopedic specialist can think outside the box and look at me as a potential poster-boy for their services. If The Rock can sell tires, then I have to believe I can sell hip replacements.

Have a nice day.

If they were planning on Cena v. AJ at WM, they wouldn't be doing it here unless they're planning to go with a screwy finish again.

Dave's under the impression Cena/AJ and Bayley/Charlotte (at least singles-wise) are both done at Rumble. If Bayley/Charlotte happens again at Mania, it's with at least a third person in the match

One of the biggest of the night. Tons of AJ Styles chants during the commercial break prior to his entrance.

Randy Orton was over as hell too.

Having Renee being forced to answer to JBL's questions on Talking Smack about whether its okay that she's dating Ambrose is really awkward.

Then again, I guess it was weird having them pretend to not be together.

I would be okay with Undertaker not being on the show, but I think the Cena/Undertaker thing is just too juicy for them to avoid. And let's be fair, they might be right - this is probably their last shot to pull the trigger on that match. Styles isn't going to be in the main event anyways, so as long as he gets a decent match I'm okay with it.

Miz got one of the best matches of the year out of Dolph Ziggler. Dolph Ziggler. Miz is better in the ring than people give him credit for. AJ and Miz would put on a classic at Mania.

Fantasy booking scenario I think they should go with:

AJ wins at Royal Rumble through serious cheating, and Orton pulls the trigger on the Wyatt betrayal and wins the Rumble. Finishes up with Wyatt at Elimination Chamber, and then Orton/Styles at WM, while Cena does the Undertaker match.

You end up with a bunch of high profile matches that way.

I knew they were winning before the match ended because I saw 2 older people sitting in the front row during a couple spots who looked like Jason Jordan wearing identical American Alpha shirts and figured it was their parents.

It's actually apparently a tradition that when you win the title your family is flown out to be in the audience.

Could have Taker come after AJ at the Rumble which would cost Cena the belt leading to a three way at Mania.
This would protect Taker's current ability, and have Taker pin Cena for the belt thus not having AJ technically be pinned for the belt leaving that to be used down the line.
