It’s been established that Angle reports to Stephanie, so why would she have to comply with his decision that she and Triple H face Angle and Ronda Rousey?...
‘RAW’ thoughts Am I the only one who … … was surprised Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins didn’t save Roman Reigns from the three-on-one beatdown by The Miztourage that seemed to go on forever? I get that WWE wants to build to the big moment when The Shield inevitably reunites — much like it did for the reunion of Ambrose and Rollins — but it was absurd that they didn’t come out to help their brother in Kevlar....
