Reigns stands tall in the ring as Triple H raises the title on the stage. Reigns' music hits and we cut to replays. RAW goes off the air with Reigns in the ring and The Authority on the stage.

Another RAW that suffers from being an hour too long. Crowd just werent interested and the show feels like it should have ended after the Ambrose segment (which I loved by the way)

Can't see anything but a swerve in the Reigns match...the crowd on Raw crapped all over him and it will be heck of a lot worse come Mania. The Rock is due to play a major role according to reports; and while I don't think he will cost HHH the match I can see him coming out to fight off HHH should Hunter have someone run interference.

The 2nd option is to have Rollins cost reigns and set that one up or cost HHH but not sure that makes sense ATM.

It's an interesting Mania but I'm not sure that's because of the stories in place...more so my interest is in how they are going to book themselves out of the mess they have created. Like most of the time with WWE the seeds are there for the product (in this case mania itself) to be great...however the decision making has ruined the opportunity for it to be truly special...i.e having ryback vs kalisto as a singles match instead of Owens/Zayn ...having the extremely over New Day booked but not in a title match (talk about burying your titles!

If you needed the examples of just how messed up the thought process is with wwe...you had Steph wave people out...heels...who attacked and helped HHH get upper hand...then the faces came out to even score but held reigns back. They then didn't all engage with each other despite numerous feuds between everyone there being in play. I mean Ziggler..the man who went after HHH two weeks ago stopped Reigns getting at him. Despite the fact he hates the authority and HHH and readily admitted it *baffling*

No lie. Shane o Mac is the truth.

Anyone notice Sal and Q from Impractical Jokers? They were sitting behind the commentators, it just made me happy to see them as that, along with WWE are my favourite shows to watch.

Opening to Raw with Shane and Taker was great, as was Ambrose playing mind games with Lesnar. New day/LON was okay, the rest was pretty boring.

Out of the three big main events, I can only see Ambrose/Lesnar finishing clean. I reckon LON and the Rock will get involved in the Reigns/HHH match while someone (not sure who, but I reckon Sting) could screw Taker.

Genuinely the only reason I'm tuning into Wrestlemania

I marked out when I saw them. Was hoping for a punishment skit.

The bald bloke next to Q was Murr (He lost a punishment & his eyebrows )

Nothing beats the Jaden Smith tattoo!

Reading social media and looking at how much more views segments featuring Shane seem to get on YouTube than basically everything else that happens I suspect we're not alone young Oliver
