Raw Thread

Why Sheamus....They need to put the strap on Del Rio ASAP.

Miz said he can only imagine how angry Rusev was watching the WWE Title tournament while home nursing his injuries. Rusev cut off Miz. He said he was sitting at home a month ago unable to lift his — the crowd interrupted with a “We Want Lana” chant. Rusev stood up to shout at the crowd that Lana is his. “She’s my wife, so shut up!” he said.

“As I was saying, Michael,” Rusev told Miz. “No one sent me a box of chocolates or get-well cards.” He said only one person nursed him back to health. And he would like to welcome this person to the ring. The old Russian theme music played to bring out Lana making her return to TV after injuring her wrist a few months ago.

Cole said it appears that things are patched up now between Rusev and Lana. They went to the TMZ photos of their engagement announcement. In the ring, Rusev wrapped his arm around Lana as Miz tried to figure out what’s going on here. He said they have been through it all – title wins, WrestleManias, love triangles, love squares, make-ups and break-ups, and now an unexpected engagement.

Lana spoke that it was the happiest day of her life. Miz said this is wild. He said that it’s beautiful, but after all of their insults and being with other people – he does not understand how they were brought together. Lana said when Rusev asked her to spend the rest of their lives together, everything was forgiven. “The past was forgotten,” she said. “We fight hard, but love even harder.” They giggled, then Lana noted their love is only stronger after venturing out with other people. She noted that she did not go all the way with Dolph. “Yes, you did!” chant from the crowd. “No!” she said. “Rusev, my heart belongs only to him.”

Lana said Rusev is her Bulgarian sunshine. Rusev added that he did not go all the way with Summer, either. “Yes, you did!” the crowd chanted. Rusev said he might have broken her heart, but that’s about it. He said that from now on when he steps into this ring, he will break their spirit and their body! He said when he steps out of this ring, his heart will belong only to Lana. They smooched. Long kiss. Lipstick all over Rusev.

Suddenly, Ryback’s music played. Ryback marched out on-stage laughing at this situation. Ryback said they’ve all seen enough of this garbage. And, he heard the Zig-Man went all the way! Ryback said they’re in Pittsburgh, where they believe in smash-mouth. He said this is Raw, and the Big Guy is hungry. “Feed Me More!” chant from Ryback and the crowd. Cole said they have a scheduled match, and it’s Rusev against Ryback next. “Rusev, crush!” Lana declared

Great point. This is my first time watching Raw since September so hopefully they deliver for my selfish ass lol.

I love the fact that The Dudleys are back in the WWE but did they really have to reverse all the hard work Bubba Ray did to his character while he was gone? Bubba should have come back as a badass contender because...He is.

The Dudleyz were in the ring with four tables covered in black cloths. Bubba Ray spoke about the Wyatts beating them up last week on Raw, then again on Smackdown, where the beating was even worse. Why? Because they double-chokeslammed him through one of their own tables. Bubba said the Wyatts has been able to do to him and his brother what most men have not been able to do.

Bubba said there’s only one problem. “You guys didn’t get the job done,” he said. He said they are ready to fight at any given moment. Bubba and D-Von then approached the tables, pulling back the cloths to reveal the name of each Wyatt Family member on the tables. Devon reminded the Wyatts of the Dudleyville Commandments, then Bubba noted they already have the tables, so Bray needs to bring his family down to the ring to settle this right here, right now.

The Wyatts’s theme played to bring out Bray, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, and Brain Strowman on-stage. Bray spoke on behalf of his family that he would like to accept Bubba’s little challenge. But, he should be more careful inviting the devil in his backyard because he might just like it and decide to stay. The theme played again and the arena went dark.

Back in the light, Bray said the Wyatts must think they have the upper-hand with a four-on-two advantage, but they have their own family. Suddenly, Tommy Dreamer walked out through the crowd wielding a trashcan full of weapons.(Was honestly expecting Spike instead of Tommy) Dreamer tossed the items into the ring as the crowd picked up an “ECW” chant. Bubba, D-Von, and Dreamer stood their ground in the ring as the Wyatt henchmen approached the ring. The ECW trio used singapore canes to fend off the henchmen as Bray yelled from a safe distance

The Dudley Boyz & Tommy Dreamer vs They Wyatt Family, this one breaks down quick with all 6 in the ring leaving the ref no choice but to throw the match out

Wyatts picked apart the Dudleyz and Dreamer. Bray called for his henchmen to grab the tables. A blank table with no name taped on it was brought into the ring. Suddenly, Bubba woke up and pushed Bray off the ring apron through a table down below. His Family sold shock and checked on their fallen leader as the Dudleyz and Dreamer walked up the ramp. The Family eventually picked up Bray and helped him away from ringside

Yah I remember that, and Big Dick Dudley threw Dreamer off so many stages so many times that it eventually lost it's luster. Dreamer always teamed with Sandman, Funk or Raven in later years. I literally can't think of a single time when Dreamer teamed with any Dudley not named Spike in the original ECW.
