Okay seriously guys I am legit enjoying Raw, is it just me being my Pollyanna-about-wrestling self or has this Raw legitimately ramped up the intrigue for the Raw side of Mania?

Because yeah.

I don't think this Raw has been particularly good but it has had a few really cool moments (Bayley going "HELL NO :haw:" especially).

Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

It's been legitimately better since the Royal Rumble but that's kinda damning with faint praise and it's still nowhere near SmackDown.

Oh of course not. Allow me to clarify somewhat.

The Raw side of Mania for me has gone from complete write-off dumpster fire to "may have stuff of interest".

So Braun/Show have to break the ring, right? That's the only logical payoff to this "reinforce the ring" angle they've been pushing all night.

Well just about every long-term planned feud except Seth's is coming to fruition this year, instead of 80% of the show being derailed followed by Vince spite-booking everything.

Somehow the ring has survived 12 man tags, rumbles, and locker room clearing brawls but Strowman vs Big Show will be just a bridge too far

A lot of that depends on where Sami and Joe are headed post-Fastlane to me. Like is this just a one-off to give Joe a big win or will this feud go into Mania?
