Dark Match:
There wasn’t one.
WWE Superstars (Airing Thursday):
Naomi defeated Cameron
Fandango w/Rosa Mendes defeated Sin Cara with the leg drop from the top.
Before RAW Notes:
Arena looks to be about 85-90% full at 630. So this has to be a near, if not complete, sell out by the time RAW starts.
WWE returns for a SmackDown taping on Tuesday April 7. Presale code is Dallas.
During/After RAW Notes:
– It did not take the crowd long to start cheering for Lesnar against the Authority. Were there seeds planted for a face turn? Cena’s “Ash-Hole” joke fell so flat.
– How great was it to see Bryan have that match with Wyatt?? Awesome match. Obviously Wyatt has to go over to look like a credible Rumble participant. The important thing was that Bryan looked flawless in the ring.
– Legends Panel was what it was. All 3 got huge pops, HBK was the loudest though. Gotta say if people don’t want Reigns to win the rumble, they didn’t show it with the massive pop he got.
– Ambrose needs a feud but sucks Barrett has to take another non title loss. Ambrose was way over here. I’m sure people haven’t forgotten what he did here at Hell in a Cell.
– I dont know what to say about New Day. When their music hit, you could hear the crowd audibly groan, but they were chanting along during the match. So I don’t know.
– What a damn great segment involving NWO/Outlaws/APA/Ascension. The only way the Ascension push makes sense is if the legend tag teams step up to the plate. APA got a pop that damn near blew the roof off. That was incredible to see. Now they just need to let Ascension use that rub to their benefit.
– Obviously some filler between that segment & the main event. Was R-Truth’s entrance longer than his match?! Mizdow is way over still. Wish they’d give him just a little more though. His X-Pac was dead on.
– As the world’s biggest Sting fan, that whole segment was a blur. That ending FELT like when Austin cost Rock the title & Foley ended up winning the title. The crowd erupted when Sting came out & then just got even louder when Cena got the pin & then got even louder when they chanted YES and We Want Sting. What an amazing ending to the show.
– The Advertised dark match main event of Cena vs Rollins in a lumberjack match obviously did not happen.
