WWE Raw Results - Spoilers Ahead

Owens is in the ring with a single spotlight on him. Owens says that now that the spotlight is solely on him, he can explain why he is going to walk out of WWE Fastlane as the WWE Universal champion. I anyone asked him if he thought he would be facing Goldberg in the main event of a PPV, he would not have believed them. Not the main eventing a PPV part. Owens always knew that would happen. It’s the part where it is going to be against Goldberg. Everyone buys into Goldberg’s hype. Owens does not. Even as a kid Owens couldn’t care less about Goldberg running through everyone in WCW. What about when Goldberg beat Brock Lesnar in a minutes or whatever it was? Lesnar took Goldberg lightly, Owens will not.

This is not going to be Goldberg’s match, it will be Owens’ match. Owens doesn’t have to out muscle Goldberg, he just has to out think him. Owens knows how to play the game better than anyone. Owens says he waited his entire life to be a champion in the WWE. There is NOTHING he will not do to stay that way. When Goldberg came back to the WWE, he stated he wanted to show his wife and all the kids around the world that there are still superheroes in the world. At Fastlane, Owens is going to show Goldberg, his son, and everyone else that Superheros do not exist. At Fastlane, the people can chant for him all they want. As far as Owens is concerned, Goldberg is NOTHING. As far as Chris Jericho goes… Owens drops the mic and walks away.

Im all in on Braun Strowman. Massively improved since his debut. One of my current favourites right now.

Yeah I like what they've done with Strowman, I just hope they continue with him and he doesn't tail off when he eventually loses

Like the owens promo. This is where he is best. Was there a hint to a potential stable with triple h (as is rumoured) when he said it's about the game and how you play it

Stephanie is just awful

The Owens thing is kinda odd though. They wait until they're just about to drop the title to Goldberg before making him serious rather than a comedy sidekick.

GSC wrote:The Owens thing is kinda odd though. They wait until they're just about to drop the title to Goldberg before making him serious rather than a comedy sidekick.

Theres always the chance they do the right thing and dont have him drop the title... but I think im being overly wishful.

I think that Owens promo was all about selling the possibility that he won't drop to Goldberg.

didn't really enjoy RAW this week, first in a while to be fair, thought the Bayley, Sasha, Charlotte segment and match was the best bit and I also really enjoyed the Strowman/Big Show match, way more than I anticipated although that's because it was the Main Event and they went way over time, I kept expecting something to happen, even an appearance from Shaq .

I like Strowman too, big time, not overly sold on the hair and beard but he's a very good talent, protect him and even find him an experienced, legitimate talker ala Heyman and you could eventually have someone as legit as Brock.

I'd like to see him use the Clothesline from Hell as his finisher, rhe size of his arms and how fast he moves, i think he'd look like he's taking guys heads off if he did that and it's also an explosive move that can come out of nowhere which helps, I'd have no complaints if they stuck the title on him for 4/5 months, he's a badass, a huge badass

I think we are 100% getting a stable with HHH, Owens and Samoa Joe.

Jack Gallagher and Neville segment.
Kevin Owens Promo.
Big Show vs Strowman
Womens Segment.

All the best and only good bits.

Thought Strowman looked naff. Not enjoyed him in the ring et, and whilst I like a legitimate monster character, he needs to be guided. Moveset is a bit crud too.

A long way to go before I'd be ok with suffering him as a champion.
