    Looking forward to Takeover

    Honestly expect the Accension to beat Kalisto & Sin Car then get attacked by Steen & Devitt

    You're probably right there actually. Even with the surgery, for a guy his size and age the shape Big Show is in is still phenomenal. Doesn't get the credit he deserves imo.

    Khali has been done for a long time, if he wasn't a cash cow for them in India, they'd have let him go long ago.

    I'm not sure if you've got the network, but they're showing old WCW Nitro episodes from the mid 90's. Big Show was phenomenal back then.

    He was somewhat lucky that he was born where he was when he was, as he managed to get his condition identified and treated early, unlike Andre who died before they had the treatment available, and Khali, who was born in the wrong part of the world unfortunately.

    Aye but he was 23-26 in his WCW days. Even compared to when he left in 2006 he's looking a lot better these days, must have made some big changes a while back.

    They're going to repackage KENTA as Yoshi Tatsu and act like nothing happened aren't they :(

    The talk was that he got a bit lazy in recent years, not bothering keeping in shape and suchlike.

    He's definitely looking better, that's for sure.

    - Brie Bella reportedly said in a media interview for Total Divas this past week that her husband Daniel Bryan will not need a second surgery as expected. Doctors made their decision this past week.

    Brie added that Bryan is going through REHAB and is slowly regaining strength in his right arm. There's still no word on when he will be back in action but WWE officials are hoping for three months from now.

    Bryan winning the Rumble and then facing Lesnar in the WM main event would be the dream.

    Let Reigns go over Cena or something instead at the big event.

    Bryan/Lesnar
    Sting/Taker (loser retires)
    Reigns/Cena
    Ambrose/Rollins

    Great upper card for WM31, in my opinion.

    Tonight's WWE RAW takes place from the Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. Confirmed for tonight's show is Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton, Chris Jericho vs. Bray Wyatt in a steel cage match and Jerry Springer hosting an intervention with The Bella Twins.

    WWE is billing tonight's show as the season premiere of RAW. Other stars advertised include John Cena, Triple H, Kane, Seth Rollins, Sheamus, Cesaro and The Wyatt Family. Cena, Jericho and Reigns vs. Orton, Kane and Wyatt is being advertised locally.

    WWE is focusing on the following points for tonight:

    * Will Orton’s aggression lead to an Authority victory over Reigns?

    * Will Wyatt's buzzards be circling the steel cage?

    * Does Rusev fear Mark Henry?

    * Can Jerry Springer keep the peace between The Bella Twins?

    * Is John Cena truly prepared for Night of Champions?

    Not been interested in Raw the past couple of weeks since Lesnar and Ambrose have both been away, will probably watch tonight though.
