Hmm. Interesting twist here. Orton actually kept his cool. It's going to be interesting to see where they go here.

There was no swerve. ...... which I guess itself is a swerve. Huh.

You know how to get your returning babyface over? Make him look like an idiot. Orton's return booking was so easy to see and they are managing to fuck it up.

You seem bored Officerrob. This is WrestleMania season.
Just listen to those old farts at commentary telling you to watch the Network.
They're telling a story. Isn't it exciting?

Truth was a fantastic heel champ in the early TNA days. It's a shame he's been buried since.

See guys the RKO actually calmed Randy down. That's what happened.

The Usos got chants during their match, on cue. Same thing with Ryback once his music hit, and afterwards. Or are you one of the people who think there's a volume control on the crowd?
COUNTER POINT!
Jim Duggan is a conduit of nostalgia and American Pride.
they're keeping the sheamus/bryan build short and sweet

Slow burn.
What are you talking about? It's Sheamus.

Dug Orton saying he's tired of 20 minute promos and everyone coming out to only lead to A RAW BUSINESS MEETING and a 15 minute promo. Barrett coming out for a match with Dolph makes sense - Barrett cutting a promo mid-stream and Cole talking about "THE INTERRUPT" doesn't. Match wasn't much, but they're seemingly doing a 4-way IC Title program. Orton re-joined the Authority in theory during the business meeting. Ascension-PTPs further hurt both teams. Speaking of killing acts dead, we got minutes of Bryan fellating Roman Reigns before Heyman finished him off saying that Roman would beat Bruno, Austin, Hogan, Andre, Rock, Cena, and of course, HHH. Roman said REBELLIOUS WORDS including asking Heyman politely to standing a few steps to his right. THAT REBEL!
Kidd and Cesaro vs. Usos helped no one. Yet another match that helps no one. THE STREAK CONTINUES! Excellent Bray-Taker video set up a good Bray promo. Swagger beat Stardust thanks to Goldust pointing and distracting Cody. THE STREAK CONTINUES. 2 hours in and nothing has really gotten this show out of first gear. THANK THE LORD ABOVE FOR RUSEV, LANA, AND CENA - they were amazing in their long deal setting up a WM rematch.
Sting hype was "next", but first, Paige came out and got to watch some coach and the AWESOME STING HYPE VIDEO. Then Paige and Emma lost in a minute, so that really worked out well. AXELMANIA RAN WILD until Ryback came down and told him to turn his mouth south cuz they're in SMASHVILLE! Ryback killed him with a meathook and Shellshock. Seth and Orton versus Bryan and Roman was in fact a match. ROMAN TOOK EVERYTHING IN STRIDE TONIGHT. What a great guy he is by golly! Faces won and Orton RKO's Noble, but he leaves Seth alone and they spend eons plugging the "free day of the Network". Wow. What a shitty show this was.

It's true. Not a good build for Mania so far.

We sure about that?
Why not Bryan / Orton (rematch from WM 30) and Rollins / Ziggler instead?

What an incredibly safe and boring show. Nothing happened. The Bryan/Reigns dynamic is so bland, and Orton playing the slow burn card makes no sense at this point.

If D.Brine's lucky, perhaps he'll get to be in Roman's corner for the Brock match to cheerlead.
Failing that I suppose he could always show up with the Bellas or be one of the 20 dudes tossed out in that battle royal.

D-Bry is actually a Paul Heyman guy. Setting up the long con.

No, because this story doesn't make sense for Orton's character. Orton is most over when he doesn't give a shit and just kicks everyone's ass. It's how he got so over as a heel they had to turn him face back a few years ago. His return was hot and they should capitalize on that. Instead they are cooling him off because "they have a story to tell".

Would be better than Reigns vs Lesnar.
The slow burn makes no sense. You're right. Guy should just go after Seth. The guy put you out for 4 months and you don't end the show with an RKO? Weaksauce, bros and sisters.
