    Graves was fantastic throughout that whole segment.

    This Saudi Arabia card seems like it's going to be the equivalent of another PPV. Wouldn't surprise me if Reigns takes the title there. Two thoughts, though:
    1) A 50-man Royal Rumble? Good lord. The 40-man Rumble a few years back became interminable as the talent thinned out. For the 50-man Rumble they might need to fly in Nicholas and his whole fourth-grade class to flesh it out.
    2) It's in Jedha? Will Roman Reigns kick out after he's by a blast from the Death Star?

    So looks like they're splitting Matt and Jeff amicably? Matt is tagging with Bray, and Jeff is in the 6-man with Seth and Finn.

    That was the best part of the night (of course I'm a first timer and did not see this coming).

    Hey, it's the rare double knockout that ends in a draw.

    Well, there just was that WONDERFUL meeting of the minds.

    It was really nice of No Way Jose to let Adam Rose's Rosebuds out of the WWE warehouse after all this time.

    My boy (16) told me recently that he was aware of it and knew a lot about it; he understood it was no "real" sports but a soap opera and said there was real acting and finesse to it; in order to build another bridge to interact with him, I said let's order Wrestlemania and watch together. It was fun to talk to him about it and pepper him with questions while it was ongoing. Also, got me to be more open-minded and enjoy it for what it is, a well done soap opera.

    Best part of the night on what was really underwhelming for a post Mania Raw.

    I cant get enough of Graves telling Cole about the woken/broken universe. “How do you know theyre a good team?” “I had a premonition!”

    Braun escaped earlier by tipping over the warehouse.

    Yeah, it wasn't that huge a Raw, other than Lashley coming back. They probably didn't go all out since they're having the shakeup next week.

    Why they're having a shakeup, instead of a draft, is beyond me.
