Night one post-Wrestlemania, RAW recap:

RAW ends with Orton having attacked Cena. Looks like this will be his next program, two OVW guys and Orton can afford the loss and still come out hot. Really good choice for a transitional feud here.

Bron Breakker unites with Heyman and Rollins to fend off CM Punk and Roman Reigns. Unsure where this one is going really, and while Breakker was a surprise, I can't say that I understand the (kayfabe) logic. Breakker has always been presented as more of a lone wolf, or if anything, reliant on his Dad & Uncle for advice in the industry. It works when you want to build for a Breakker/Rollins feud in a couple of years, but Rollins is already 38, so I don't know that they have tons of time for the long game here. 

I don't see Breakker and Punk having a prolonged program. Punk is pretty injury-prone and I could see him wanting to elevate Breakker, but I don't know that the two need each other given the risks. Maybe if Breakker is the gatekeeper for Reigns getting to Rollins, but then you have the issue of making one of them look stronger than the other; Reigns either has to come out on top in the feud and get his shot at Rollins or else you risk him looking weak-- more Bloodline shenanigans to get there risks being too "blah" (and again, making Reigns look weak).

Short of a new "Dangerous Alliance" stable with Rollins, Breakker, Becky, and 2-3 others who can give you a year of work-rate of singles and tags while eating pins that plays out through War Games, I'm not seeing where they're going with this unless the plan is to split Breakker out on his own after a few months tops.

If there is a Dangerous Alliance 2.0 and they want to put the rocket on someone, Starks Saints isn't a terrible choice.

Yea, I like the Cena/Orton feud. Gives us a break from Cody which I am sure will be brought back eventually to be the one to dethrone Cena at the end of his retirement tour. 

The Seth/Bron alliance is odd, but we will see what they do. Understanding of why Bron lost IC belt at Mania. Story telling has been really good other than the Cody/Cena story. Way too many questions with that one.
