We're on the road to Wrestlemania. But now we're in the fast lane. I'll show myself out once I'm done. Will the mark universe get our Owens win, leading to "Best Friends, Better Enemies" at Mania? Does the kickoff match begin "The Noam Dar Era" on Raw? Will Goldberg do something to make his kid get beat up at school again? All this and more, on the WWE Network.
Universal Champion Kevin Owens vs. Goldberg
Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman
Raw Women’s Champion Bayley vs. Charlotte Flair
Sami Zayn vs. Samoa Joe
Cruiserweight Champion Neville vs. Jack Gallagher
Raw Tag Team Champions Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. Enzo Amore & Big Cass
Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax
Rich Swann & Akira Tozawa vs. The Brian Kendrick & Noam Dar (Kickoff Match)

I really should have made this my first WWE live event.

I think top 2 matches get screwjob finishes.
Maybe Taker costs Reigns his match and something happens to keep the belt on Owens.

Including entrances, Goldberg/KO goes 7 minutes tops. Bill gasses out before he even makes it to the ring these days. Hell, I don't know if that even main events the show. If Taker does some shit with Reigns, you'd save that for the end I assume?
I just don't want 2 fuck finishes to end the show, which I agree Peeps, we're more than likely to get.
KO deserves to retain & head to Mania as champ. It's such bullshit if he drops the belt.
I've said this before, why wouldn't Jericho help KO win? Guarantee he gets KO for the title at Mania? On the other hand, why wouldn't Brock help Goldberg win to set up their match for Mania for the title?
KO/Jericho should NOT be for the secondary title. Brock/Bill shouldn't even be for the title to begin with.

Jericho attacks Owens/Brock attacks Goldberg before the match starts.
It'd be bad for the crowd, but it'd be best for business long term.

My favorite part was the guy singing Bayley's theme.

My favorite part was a tie between the Roman Reigns Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Waving Tube Men and Reigns punching Goldberg's kid.

RuRu got a haircut. And he dropped about 235 pounds of dead weight!

So Mick was on the speakerphone with Stephanie & Jinder interrupted saying he & Rusev are done (Jinder ended the team!), RuRu/Lana came in & Mick suggested a BEST OF SEVEN SERIES between the two, to which everyone (including Steph on speaker) said NO! which was actually pretty funny.
But Mick then said that tonight, Rusev & Jinder will compete in SINGLES MATCHES on the PPV.
You heard that right. Jinder in a singles match on a PPV. I don't get (want) this at all.

I worry they're adding more nonsense on the PPV because a certain World Title match will be super short, unfortunately. They need filler.
How the hell Jinder hasn't been suspended yet is beyond me. He said it's from working out & not drinking beer. There's no way you pop that many veins & get acne on your back from working out & not drinking beer.
Oh and Tozawa/Swann vs Kendrick/Dar up now on the pre-show.

If the main event is to be short, I hope it's because of screwjobs and not Owens losing quick.

"Am I the only one who thinks Noam Dar looks like a blind guy if you snatch his sunglasses off of him? He's got these squinty eyes, like they're half open, he can't see well."
Austin Aries on commentary fucking rules!

I love when Renee goes with "we smashed again this morning but I still want to look presentable for bottomless Mimosa brunch" look.

Great idea for the first match. Generico and Joe are going to tear it up!

I want this opener to go 15 minutes. Don't make Sami look like a boob & don't treat this like a Raw match.
Fingers crossed for the best. I'm excited for this.

This has been a solid match.
Joe must win but Sami doesn't look dumb.

Eh sort of a TV-esque match, but I enjoyed it. Sami got more offense than I thought (which is good) and Joe looked like a killer.
Not having Sami tap is smart, he didn't quit.
All downhill from here fellas.
Oh and Alicia Fox in that Tapout commercial is damn delightful! |

I could see Cass and Enzo being the focus of the Andre Battle Royal. Cass wins, Enzo still wrestles but he's more of a mouthpiece.

Enzo is great at selling, but his offense is so bad. Really hope they don't break them up though. They are a great duo. For sure Enzo should be more of a mouthpiece. Runs his mouth & lets Cass clean up.

Steph telling Mick to make sure the Womens & Universal titles go off without a hitch. So I guess that means fuck finishes in both matches then, right?
Also if Steph is watching the show on her phone, how does she not know she's on speakerphone? Just stupid.
