We're less than a week out from WrestleMania 32 here in DFW (I used "here" because I'm here in DFW so it's "here") and we got our final taste of WWE programming leading us into the big event. The Go-Home RAW . Which at times was Go-Home AF. And then other times it was all "This is all you got? What a bunch of mule gunk!"

That opening segment though... Shane tapping into vintage classic retro daredevil suicidal Shane and hitting that flying elbow drop on Taker and busting up the announce table was hot hot hot! Not only making my jealous of Shane's leaping ability, but - as usual - his clothes. And now...his abs. Basically I left the segment feeling like sizzling garbage, but it was worth it.Also, I like how the initial fighting words here, that caused Shane to walk down to the ring from the stage, was when Taker called him "Rich Boy!" Which, as it turns out, is what I've been wanting to be called my whole life. Here it was an insult though. Making my highest aspirations Shane's rock bottom.But yeah, I'm phenomenally excited about Shane and Taker. I already went through all the ways it could end (including how I'd end it if I were booking) in last week's Wrap Up, so I won't "ad nauseum" too much here, but I think Taker will win. AND Shane will get RAW. Somehow. Taker wins because he's Taker (plus OPPOSITE MOMENTUM) and Shane gets RAW because - well - that's the entire story.Speaking of the almighty and powerful super-scientific OM rule, let's break it down a bit. I'd say Hunter and Reigns is a split since it ended with a brawl, though Roman will most likely take it since he got beat up MORE on RAW. I don't know how any of this will work unless there's a severe tweak/swerve to the story. Because him winning straight up is going to get massively s*** on by the angry, mammoth crowd on hand. So if someone's going over clean, and the WWE want crowd support and cheers, it's gotta be Triple H. It has to be. If not, then there needs to be some serious tinkering with the formula DURING the match itself.Now, the Divas three-way match is going to be great. I can feel it. And you all know how ridiculously over the Sailor Moon I am about Sasha. But I don't feel like she's taking this one. As much as I'd love it. And as much as that Mania crowd would love it. I'm speaking along OM lines here. Becky's due. And Charlotte winning still seems more feasible than Sasha since they may want keep her heel run going. And look, it breaks my heart into a million shards. I hope I'm wrong here. I mean, I hope science is wrong here.At least the announcers have now gotten behind Sasha's undefeated WWE streak. And by that, I mean Mauro mentioned it on Smackdown. It's still nowhere to be heard on RAW. But Smackdown still exists as this extra thumb of WWE programming each week that no one will have removed because it's a sign of good fortune in some cultures. And there Sasha's multi-month legacy can shine.So...Brock and Dean. Hey, side quest...did you all watch Smackdown? The end segment on Smackdown was really good. With Brock and Dean and the Wyatts. Wonder why they did that for B-Show and not on RAW. Which also ended with Dean and the Wyatts but in a very flat, unexciting way. Were they just trying to drive eyes to SD with Brock? Anyhow, it was the best of this feud's "Road To" segments so far after the initial parking lot beatdown. Also, there's no way the Wyatts don't get involved with the Mania match. They're not booked, which is still f***ing obscene on several levels (I figured Bray could win the Andre Battle Royale), but they'll be there. Without Luke Harper unfortunately. He busted his leg during the RAW post-show dark match last week and just had surgery. He's out for a while. Just a little news to make your day a scosche more terrible.On RAW, Dean wheeled out his big Red Wagon of pain and torment. Filled with assorted accouterment designed for agony. AND that damn chainsaw. *le sigh* The murder tool that really can't be used for anything. I don't like it. It's even a step beyond TNA's "Janice." You know, the spiked plank that Abyss pulls out and then promptly falls on because it's only designed to undermine Abyss at every turn. Seriously though, what can a chainsaw do here except possibly accidentally get someone dismembered in front of a live stadium of fans? I already feel like I'm going to witness a violent homicide in that ring. Don't actually tease a snuff film.Zayn pinned Owens in a big tag match on RAW so Owens is most likely winning at Mania. By OM decree. Plus, with this type of messy match, the champ stands a good chance of retaining. I mean, Barrett didn't last year, but that match had Daniel Bryan in it. And also Barrett wasn't over as IC champ at all. So Owens winning makes sense.OM states clearly that Brie will win her Total Divas vs. "Bad and Blonde" match because she's Brie and she basically become our good will surrogate for Bryan. Also, she announced she's retiring after this match. Which is a whole other chunk of news I want to get into. Possibly gut-wrenching news. But no one's talking. The rumors are barely rumors. Just a mouse trap. Daniel Bryan was pulled from all his appearances post-Mania. Also, his "Daniel Bryan Appreciation Night" at MSG. And we don't really have an inkling as to why. Is he suffering seizures? Is his health a big concern? OR is he just too raw from retiring to be around so much of the business? And to keep meeting fans and saying goodbye to them? Perhaps it's all just too much right now.So, either/or, Brie's bumped up her final match. She was going to stick around a few more months, but now she's out. And it's said that Bryan is the reason. Now it also could be - and this is her story - that the two of them want to really get started on having kids. Which has strangely become ALL of our business. Like, we're all now super invested in these two having a lot of baby-making sex. And then having a litter of vegan children. I feel like it shouldn't be our concern because it's a private thing but then I also just want to watch them have sex. It's a delicate balance.
