X-Pac is back too? Why is WWE taking a page out of TNA and bringing back washed up old wrestlers.

Not yet but he's expected to join the WWE pretty soon.

How bland. You'd think they'd learn that trotting out old timers who peaked at B-level main eventers is not good business.

LOL people have to realize Batista was going to turn heel eventually soon anyway. The fans at the RR just accelerated the process.

Daniel Bryan wasn't put into the RR on purpose.

There's no way WWE turns Daniel Bryan face after 2 weeks of being with the Wyatts & still not realize how much of a fan favorite he is. It was all to draw heat.

The WWE never intended to turn him so quickly. And they never intended the crowd to boo the **** out of Batista and tank the PPV. The fact that they're re-writing WrestleMania speaks to how they're not in touch with the crowd, and the audiences finally forced their hand.

I don't buy it at all that WWE was going to turn Batista heel. It was well known he was going to win RR AND defeat Orton at WM (which is why Punk told WWE to f*** themselves). Why would WWE have a heel VS heel title match at wrestlemania?

You're right. It wasn't meant to happen so quickly. But it damn sure was going to happen either way.
The re-writes are definitely ruining the business & rubbing the wrong people the wrong way, like CM Punk.

"On his way back up the ramp, Batista got into a verbal altercation with a disgruntled fan who flipped him off. Batista could be seen on the big screen telling the fan that he'd snap him in half and then flipped the fan off while still on the big screen. He then mockingly did the "Yes!" chant at the top of the ramp while fans peppered him with boos. However, instead of using his pointer fingers, he used his middle fingers and flipped the crowd off."

Yea. I'd say that sums up Batista pretty well, some people are just born to be heels :lol:

The Miz comes out & voices his displeasure of not being booked on Raw during a match.

Dolph Ziggler's pipebomb on Friday.

CM Punk leaving.

Looks like it's setting up as a work to me.

The Autority (HHH/Stephanie) vs. Vince. Which was always the plan.

Prediction: Brock Lesner comes out during Orton-Bryan match and destroys them both.

Solid prediction. I hope so.

I think Brock needs to take somebody's spot in the Elimination Chamber.

Terrible raw, terrible ending, WWE has no idea what the fu*k they're doing :rofl:

True. Having Kane come out made no sense.

Should've brought Lesner out.

How does Lesnar coming out make sense?

Lesner wants both belts. Bryan wants both belts. Orton wants both belts. Lesner's intervened in other matches lately to show that no one can stop him. Seems to make sense to me (and one other in this thread).

How does Kane coming out make any sense?

Because Kane is part of the authority to prevent Daniel from winning.

Lesnar is going to face Taker at Mania. There's no reason to leech heat off of Bryan when Lesnar isn't going to even be involved with him.

They had a f*cking dance off...

The fans kept chanting CM Punk in every match including the Daniel Bryan match. Why is the WWE keeping quiet about this? Why are they confiscating CM Punk signs?

HHH brought Lesner out to the ring, shook his hand and established there relationship. But whatever. The show, and the ending, sucked the way they played it.
