YES DEANO

 

[plagiarize]

This RAW is going to take a turn for the awful soon, it has too. It's been ages since we've had a RAW where the first hour and half was this good from a match and booking perspective.

 

[TomcatTheLion]

DEANO IS IN!

 

[KissVibes]

Ambrose is the designated pin guy.

How sad.

 

[Vylash]

ambrose on the fast track to another ppv loss

 

[NastyBook]

Yeah, I think Dean'll put on a great performance, even if he does take the pin like some here are saying.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Love it!

 

[jinxthejiv]

Michael Cole is so damn irritating. I liked him better when he was just a shoe in the ring.

 

[Officerrob]

So Ambrose was put into the match to take the pin...

 

[Wagram]

I like deans persona but he really could use an expanded move-set. That same clothesline four times every match is old.

 

[JavyOO7]

Its not going to happen but I'd love if it Ambrose won the title on Payback.

 

[somedevil]

Yeah, I think Dean'll put on a great performance, even if he does take the pin like some here are saying.

You can say that the match doesn't matter because Rollins is holding that belt for his Summerslam match with Brock.

 

[Mengetsu]

The fact Ambrose is in makes me happy win or lose. The guy works his ass off he deserves the spotlight for abit.

 

[TomcatTheLion]

That match should have been the main event.

 

[spindashing]

LMAO, I missed New Day beating Roman and Randy?!

 

[OctoMan]

First 90 minutes of Raw has been amazing

 

[The Elite]

LMAO, I missed New Day beating Roman and Randy?!

I missed the first hour as well.

Tuned in for Rollins and Ambrose.

What was so great?

 

[OctoMan]

I thought that was a legit 4 star match...on Raw

 

[KissVibes]

Yeah, I think Dean'll put on a great performance, even if he does take the pin like some here are saying.

You really think Orton or Reigns would be pinned? Really. Given that we've seen leaked Payback promos before extreme rules where it was a triple threat match, it's clear someone had cold feet about Orton or Reigns taking the pin (as they need to look strong in future feuds). Now they've tossed Ambrose in there to be that guy.

 

[Guzim]

LMAO, I missed New Day beating Roman and Randy?!

Yeah, their promo before the match was hilarious too.

 

[The Elite]

Yeah, their promo before the match was hilarious too.

I am happy they managed to figure out New Day.

Yeppers. Who are we crediting with this? Is Trips guest booking or is it the fine work of Jimmy Jacobs?

 

[Howard Ballou]

So close to that Shield Triple Threat match...Don't really have any problems with the Fatal 4Way though, glad Dean is doing stuff of note again.

 

[XenoRaven]

Come on guys. Who cares who's taking the pin? It was a good match and the Payback match will be fun too.

Wrestling's more fun when you just enjoy the ride, friends.

hey, RKO could hit a banana peel between now and then.

 

[Entropia]

Wait, Ambrose is in the title match? COT DAMN.

Get Orton outta there. Make it a shield triple threat match!

 

[aspiegamer]

That match should have been the main event.

Even the horrid writing staff had to know that there's absolutely no way the "real" main event could ever compare with that. Might as well stop watching now and call it a win for the week. They had to desperately throw in Ambrose to try to appease the audience. What else is left to try to hold our attention?

Perhaps Orton will politely exit the event and give us the match we've been waiting like a year for.

 

[The Elite]

The heel champ dealing with the face authority figure is always a weird dynamic.

I guess this is what this is.

 

[Amory]

Oh Lana.....

 

[Entropia]

Faaaaaaaaaahndango gonna steal Lana

 

[OctoMan]

Wait, Ambrose is in the title match? COT DAMN.

Get Orton outta there. Make it a shield triple threat match!

I think you'll have to wait for wrestlemania 31. Don't think they'd do it on a throw away ppv with a two week build

 

[KissVibes]

Triple H still on TV even when he isn't there.

 

[Officerrob]

Fandango about to be squashed

 

[spindashing]

Yeah, their promo before the match was hilarious too.

Damn, I'll have to check it out later.

Lana slipping in her American accent for a second, damn... I guess they're really headed in that direction.

 

[Howard Ballou]

hey, RKO could hit a banana peel OUTTA NOWHERE between now and then.

ftfy

Nah, don't waste it on Payback. Shield triple threat has to go down at Wrestlemania or at least Summerslam.

 

[ramoisdead]

Welp there goes that Fandango momentum.

 

[XenoRaven]

This is Fandango's time guys. I can feel it.

In other news

Oh look, a guy who the internet told me is never returning ever forever.

 

[TomcatTheLion]

RAW needs more Lana all the time.

That reminds me, what is the main event? Orton vs. Reigns?

 

[NastyBook]

Well, when you put it like that...

 

[sephi22]

So shield reunion into triple powerbomb to orton to rollins retain at payback?

 

[KissVibes]

I can't fucking believe Lana is for real about to become John Cena's American girlfriend.

 

[blackaroni]

LOL at that crowd shot

 

[TomcatTheLion]

I can't fucking believe Lana is for real about to become John Cena's American girlfriend.

All according to plan.

 

[NastyBook]

Why is that so HOT???

 

[Alex Anderson]

Lana is now 4 years old

 

[ramoisdead]

Pouty walking away Lana is so effin' fine.

 

[Cagey]

Was anyone criticizing SuperAmbrose or did I miss it among the excitement?

 

[Phatmac]

Poor Lana

 

[slightconfuse]

LOOL Ambrose added as personal jobber

 

[KissVibes]

FANDANGO REALLY IS MR. STEAL YOUR GIRL.
