They managed to make Zayn's match an absolute snooze. I'm a big fan of Rhodes, but having him go toe to toe with Zayn in a competitive match just makes Sami look weak.

I still don't understand why The Undertaker is fighting on the side of Vince. It just doesn't make sense. Unless there is a massive swerve planned last minute.

Neville out for up to a year after breaking his shin and ankle against Jericho. Poor guy.

Thought it was part of the match at first. Then Y2J looked genuinely pissed off at the ref when he only gave a 2 count so figured it must have been pretty bad.

Yeah, looks like Neville was booked to win and Little Naitch was trying to stick to the script. Jericho did a good job of covering and preserving the result, and I imagine Styles had to improvise a post match run in rather than a distraction run in.

So who do you guys see going over at mania ambrose or Lesnar? I reckon Ambrose goes over for a couple of reasons firstly lesnar needs a loss, his character is becoming stale thou still entertaining. Heyman seems to be cutting the same promo every week and although his brilliant at it its wearing a little thin. Being a street fight too a loss does not hurt lesnar and victory elevates ambrose to a genuine main event guy. Lesnar is also going to be off tv for a while post maina so what is their to gain by putting him over ambrose.

I think Ambrose goes over. You're right about Lesnar. I think Ambrose will quickly be turned heel too. I can see him getting some momentum going before being squashed by a returning John Cena.

Lesnar will probably break the bat over his knee and then break Ambrose. I'm looking forward to this match the most without a doubt.

Caught Raw for the first time since the Rumble go-home show.

Going from my 1999 marathon to this, one of the most glaring differences is the lack of care shown to the main event angles. It wasn't always Shakespeare, but the WWF usually knew how to lay things out to pique the fans interest and get the desired response.

I have no idea what they were thinking in regards to Roman Reigns' return. HHH won a hard fought match (like he really needed the rub) and then Roman appears to take advantage of him while he's exhausted. The psychology just wasn't there - if they wanted the fans to go ape he needed to be the hero, saving another babyface from a beatdown.

I wasn't too fond of the Ambrose/Lesnar or Shane/Taker stuff either. It felt like I was watching an episode of SmackDown where they wanted to get both guys on the show but wanted to save the big angle for Raw.

Just watched Owens vs AJ on Smackdown and it was great but I really wish they saved this match for a feud and not some random match on SD.

There appears to be something going on with Daniel Bryan at the moment. He has been pulled from all pre and post Wrestlemania appearances and signings, at his request.
