03/31/14 Raw: It's the Final Countdown

From WWE.com: Well, here we are: The final Raw on The Road to WrestleMania, and on the verge of a twelve-car pile-up in each lane. Daniel Bryan hasn’t been seen since being carried out on a gurney two weeks ago thanks to Triple H. Bray Wyatt is – for all intents and purposes – haunting John Cena. Batista’s at his wits’ end. And The Undertaker’s ghoulish misdirection has Brock Lesnar running scared. Six days before WWE descends upon New Orleans for The Show of Shows, what lies ahead on Raw? WWE.com has five ideas. Five Point Preview: -When the dead come knocking. Spoiler Brock Lesnar fell for the old empty-casket trick last week and for all the bravado of The Beast Incarnate, “Eat-Sleep-Beat-the-Streak” is looking more and more like an impossibility. The Anomaly does have one thing on his side, though: When he gets in the ring with The Undertaker at WrestleMania, he’ll presumably let his fists do all the work for him. All he has to do is survive The Deadman’s “final message” this Monday. What does The Phenom have in store? -He can see you. Spoiler Another Superstar who’s making excellent use of mind games? Bray Wyatt, who has John Cena unusually shaken heading into their confrontation on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Wyatt hasn’t relied on mysticism a la The Undertaker, but he has seemingly cut to Cena’s core with his weekly sermons, and disgraced the Cenation leader by stringing him up in the ring ropes last week on Raw and slapping a sheep mask on him. Can Cena find his footing and rally, or is Bray Wyatt irreparably in his head? -What could have been. Spoiler Is Batista losing his cool? The Animal’s rollercoaster return has seen the WWE Universe turn against him in droves. A tough match with Sheamus on SmackDown exposed Batista’s frustration; with Daniel Bryan lurking in the wings and Triple H gaining steam in his own bid to enter the title match, can The Animal maintain his momentum and fulfill his promise to become champion? -Shield vs. Suits Spoiler How the tables have turned for The Hounds of Justice, who are set to face both a key member and longtime associates of The Authority when they battle Kane & The New Age Outlaws at WrestleMania. The Shield has stuck through thick and thin and looks stronger than ever, but The Devil’s Favorite Director of Operations knows them just about better than anyone. Can Ambrose, Rollins & Reigns power their way to their second consecutive WrestleMania victory? -The home stretch of the "Yes". Spoiler Daniel Bryan wasn’t at Raw last week thanks to lingering injuries from Triple H’s brutal attack on his shoulder, but with only a week to go before the biggest match (matches?) of his career, don’t expect the “Yes!” Man to sit out this week’s Raw. The Cerebral Assassin will want Bryan as weak as possible heading into their match, though, so what final hurdle does Triple H have in store for the thorn in his side that is Daniel Bryan?

WWE.com calling the build for Wrestlemania XXX a "12 car wreck in both lanes" is a pretty spot description.

My predictions:
-Undertaker's entrance takes up 14 segments.
-It's a generic hype promo, brother.
-The IC Title gets some heavy build towards Wrestlemania.
-Damien Sandow loses to Hornswaggle.
-Sin Cara defeats The Miz.
-Eat. Sleep. Run away and look weak. Repeat.
-Apparently Los Matadores > The Rhodes Brothers.

It's in Washington DC. I'm curious to see how Batista is received.

[ProfessaPackMan]

I'll go 70/30 Boos for Batista tonight. He's not as loved in his hometown as other wrestlers are in their hometown.

Had to pass this one up since I'm going to the Nets game on Friday. Please don't make me regret it, Raw. And DC, don't disappoint tonight.

[Reed1417]

Hopefully it's a mixed bag of cheers/boos. Would hate to see the guy get booed in his hometown even if he is a heel.


Reed is comin' atcha!!
