[quote][i]Originally posted by OORick[/i] [b]Tonight on RAW:[/b] the sorting-outen-ing of RAW's main event scene begins... last week, Triple H ran in to help Kevin Owens beat Seth Rollins for the new RAW Universal Title, and in so doing, got some cheers, and also seemed to piss off Stephanie... WWE has longed wished to do Rollins vs. HHH, but the belief was that it would set up Rollins' face turn... fan reaction, and the prickly heat between HHH and Steph, seem to indicate WWE is playing it closer to the vest... at least for now... Regardless, it is clear that they are peeling Rollins away from the WWEU Title picture for the short term, to do a feud with HHH.... the reason why HHH is suddenly on TV again is because WWE decided to use one of Lesnar's rare bookings for a house show in Chicago, instead of for the Clash PPV (it saves WWE money), although they had originally intended on Lesnar's Stunt Casting at the PPV.... so when Lesnar was shifted to draw a big house in Chicago, HHH stepped in to fill the void... And then, you have the new WWEU Champion, Kevin Owens, who got a monster babyface pop last week, despite being on of RAW's most consistently bankable heels for over a year.... a short term storyline to establish the new champ would obviously be Owens vs. his "best friend" Chris Jericho... the only question would be, who is the fan favorite in that scenario? Storywise, it's so much easier for Jericho to get jealous of Owens' success, and play the villain... but the thing is, Jericho has had such an amazing renaissance year that he's built up a ton of goodwill with fans by being such a great bad guy himself, so I think fans would genuinely get behind him seeking one last at the big gold, too... not only is it fuzzy as to how the heel/face alignment WILL work, I'm also torn and have no clear-cut preference: I think it'll be great either way (and maybe, whatever long term ideas WWE has for HHH/Steph throwing their weight around will dictate which way Owens goes in the short term)... WWE could also be working on Owens vs. Reigns (Jericho would be a one and done, as he's getting ready to start focusing on Fozzy again), with WWE's promotional materials for tonight completely glossing over any Reigns vs. Rusev US Title feud, and speculating about what he might want to do next after his OWN involvement in the WWEU Title situation last week... Reigns was also attacked by HHH, which allowed Rollins to pin him (before HHH attacked Rollins, too), so you could slow roll everything, and tease a partnership of convenience between Rollins and Reigns, before the Authority tip their hand (at which point, the best play would be for the Authority to reveal they've picked Reigns, with Rollins as a 100% for-real babyface; that would give us a Reigns/Rollins feud to close out 2016, with Rollins finally getting to face HHH on the Road to WM33, and Reigns have the juice to challenge again for the WWEU Title as a heel)... Or, they could just be skipping over Reigns/Rusev, because Rusev and Lana are still in Eastern Europe, honeymooning after re-doing their vows in Bulgaria over the weekend... in which case, they'll just pick up where they left off with Rusev/Reigns when Rusev returns (with his "injured" ribs healed)... if Reigns is stepping into the main event scene again, Rusev will get a hard reset when he returns, including a new challenger to his title... The New Day are still the tag champs, and Gallows & Anderson are still the #1 Contenders, so they remain on course for a tag title rematch at the Clash PPV.... while Charlotte is using all manner of rhetoric to deny Bayley a shot at the Women's Title, it's equally apparent that we'll be getting Charlotte vs. Bayley at the Clash, too... for the second week in a row, Bayley pinned Charlotte's surrogate, Dana Brooke, so sooner or later, Bayley will get her hands on the champ... Sheamus and Cesaro are 2 matches into a potential 7-match series... problem is, Sheamus is already up 2-0, and now, Cesaro is "injured"... WWE says Match 3 is scheduled for tonight, and given the way they oversold the injury angle all week, it sure feels like Sheamus goes 3-0 (perhaps even by forfeit or referee stoppage, or something cheap like that)... and then, the Swiss Superman really will have to show up the next 3 Mondays to force that 7th and final match at the Clash... The rest: Titus O'Neil is finally, 100% fer-sure a heel, whatever that means.... Braun Strowman will continue to ensure the audience's urinal tract health is top shelf, by providing ample opportunity to go and pee... and with all the shuffling due to Balor's injury, we're now in a weird position in which Zayn, Cass, and Enzo all had to play big parts in the crowning of the new WWEU Champ, but as a result, are all now floating aimlessly without personal issues of their own, which will not stand, considering how hot all three are at the moment... That is all. End communication. [i]The flOOr is yours, OO Nation. Don't wait till after 11pm to post, either. Pre-show previewing and prognosticating is certainly welcome.
