WWE Monday Night Raw 4/20/15…Road To Extreme Rules Ends Here

Tonight, The Authority will make their 2-week hiatus back.  HHH gave us an announcement about “Tough Enough” returning to TV.  6 days from Extreme Rules.

Raw is now.

At Extreme Rules, we will see Randy Orton Vs Seth Rollins, inside a steel cage, with Randy’s RKO move banned.

The steel cage is lowered, and we see Randy Orton headed to the ring.

For someone claiming to be smart, Seth Rollins is a dumb bastard. He believes Orton’s greatest weapon is the RKO, but Randy’s best weapon is inflicting pain. He doesn’t need the RKO. It’s too quick, and too easy. But now he has no other choice but to do it nice and slow.

Randy will break Rollins’ jaw, so we won’t have to hear him run his mouth week in, and week out. He will also take His rib, and break it. But we will take his stupid blonde streak in Seth’s hair and ram it into the steel cage. And when he is pinned, Rollins reign will end as WWE Champion.

Here comes the WWE World Champion.

Seth plays the game of human chess better than anybody. And this Sunday, he will prove that by defeating Orton and continuing his run as the greatest WWE World Champion.

He has this title to prove how good he is. Orton may be one of the greatest WWE Superstars in the history, but he is that much better.

Cage or no cage, Rollins will beat Orton this Sunday.

Orton brings up since he banned the RKO this Sunday, he will go in the back, and RKO every son of a bitch he sees. And then by the end of tonight, he will RKO Rollins.

HHH will return tonight, and make a big announcement on Tough Enough.

Dean Ambrose Vs Luke Harper, one on one is next.

Luke Harper is on the mic, he tells Dean he doesn’t know why he isn’t afraid of him, but at the end of the night, Dean will be.

The match ends in a no contest when the guys beat the crap out of each other.

The segment ends with Luke throwing Ambrose off the top of the ramp.

Seth Rollins with J & J Security are looking over their shoulders, for Orton. Tyrus O’ Neil scares him. Rollins wants to show everyone he isn’t scared of anyone, and dares to beat up the next guy he sees.

That guy is….HHH.

HHH assures Rollins he will talk to Kane when he comes in. Rollins assures HHH he has Orton under control, but he needs more security.

But Randy is one guy.

Lucha Dragons are in action, next.

Lucha Dragons Vs New Day.

Winners get Tag Team Title match this Sunday.

The New Day wins the match with a countout. Xavier Woods held Sin Cara’s foot underneath the ring.

As they celebrate, Randy Orton RKO’s Kofi and Xavier. Big E. thought it best to walk away, and he does.

New Day Vs Cesaro and Kidd at Extreme Rules.

At Extreme Rules, John Cena Vs Rusev in a Russian Chain Match. Also, Cena will have an open challenge tonight. We see footage from last week when Rusev attacked Cena with a chain.

Next, we see footage from last week when Big Show took Reigns for a ride.

We see footage from last week, including Big Show’s explanation from this past Thursday night on Smackdown.

This Sunday, Big Show Vs Reigns in a Last Man Standing Match.

It’s Fandango Vs Curtis Axel.

Last Dance, match is done.

Tonight, The Miz Vs Damien Mizdow, winner gets “The Miz” brand.

HHH is tweeting, he joins us live, next.

HHH comes out to make the official announcement that Tough Enough is coming back, and the ideal behind the show is we can audition. Anyone can try out, and he asks us what it would be like to hear your own music, to get onto this stage. To headline Wrestlemania, and to wrestle for the WWE World Heavyweight Title. That is our dream, and WWE is giving us that opportunity. Tell them, show them, go to WWEToughEnough.com, and maybe we can be one of the 10 men, or 5 women chosen to compete on the show. The winner gets a WWE contract. Do we have what it takes? If we do, show the world that we are truly tough enough.

Here comes Kane.

Kane tells HHH that he has been trying to return his phone calls, send him text messages, send him emails all week-long. HHH told him he wanted Kane to cool off.

Kane is here to give HHH his two weeks notice, because HHH trusts that WWE World Champion, someone who doesn’t appreciate the ones who have helped him get the title.

Seth Rollins shows up, calls Kane a loser and wants HHH to drop this guy. The Authority doesn’t need him.

Kane screams at him, and says The Authority could have chosen anyone to be WWE World Champ, even El Torito.

HHH gets in between of both of them, and calls for Kane to be the Gatekeeper of the Cage match. Nobody goes through Kane this Sunday.

Rollins shakes hands with Kane, and walks away.

Okay, Kane is the Gatekeeper, I guess.

Cole, JBL, and Booker T show us what happened last week, when Naomi took out Paige after being eliminated in the Diva’s Battle Royal.

Paige is out indefinitely, and it will be Naomi Vs Nikki Bella, this Sunday.

Naomi Vs Brie is next.

Backstage, Rollins and Kane are still arguing. HHH tells Kane he has to be corporate, and no longer be the hell, fire, and brimstone. Kane disagrees, and proves it tonight.

Naomi Vs Brie is now.

Naomi wins with a Rear View.

Though the title match is not confirmed, Nikki Bella confirms she will not deny the match if it’s given to her.

Heath Slater is in catering with Erick Rowan. Heath talks about accepting the John Cena United States Challenge, and will be the new United States Champion, BA-BAY!!

Rowan just walks away, and Heath is met with a RKO.

That’s 3 for Randy.

We hear from Roman Reigns, next.

Roman Reigns comes out to the ring. He doesn’t want to talk, he wants to fight. He wants Big Show to come out.

Here comes Bo Dallas.

He noticed anger in Roman’s voice. Like Yoda said in Episode I….”Anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering”

We know Roman suffered when he went through a car hood last week. He also suffered after losing at Wrestlemania. Roman is a bit of a bust, he is a “Tim Tebow” of WWE. He fails and fails every time. He knows Reigns will be WWE World Champion someday. He just has to

BOLIEVE!!

Superman Punch, and then a spear.

Big Show is too scared to face Reigns man to man, but this Sunday, Reigns will tear him up, and be the last man standing.

You can BOlieve that.

Ziggler Vs Rollins, tonight.

Sheamus is now facing Zack Ryder.

Woo Woo Woo…You Know It.

Bell rings, Brogue Kick. He can pin him, but where is the fun in that? Ryder deserves more time than that.

Sheamus is on the mic the entire time. He says Ryder is just like us, none of us could last 2 seconds in the ring with him.

Sheamus throws Zack out of the ring like a rag doll. And he gives him another Brogue Kick for good measure.

Ziggler comes out and gives Sheamus a Zig Zag.

Sheamus wins by DQ, I guess.

Ziggler Vs Sheamus in a Kiss Me Arse match this Sunday, at Extreme Rules.

Up next, John Cena US Title Open Challenge.

Cena wants to talk first.

This Sunday, live on WWE Network, we go Extreme.

This Sunday, we go for revenge. We saw earlier that Rusev means business, and why shouldn’t he? Cena handed him Rusev’s first loss at Wrestlemania.

And he, just like us cringe whenever Cena says The Champ Is Here.

But this Sunday, Rusev wants to do what is best, which is destroy. The winner of a Russian Chain match is to touch all four corners successfully. And that means Rusev wants to take the fighting spirit away from Cena.

Rusev’s plan is to dominate, and win back his United States Title. But that just won’t happen. Rusev wants to prove that Wrestlemania was a fluke, but it wasn’t, it was a statement. And this is an opportunity of Rusev getting a steel plate up his ass.

But we will still get a fight tonight.

Albany is the place to be, John Cena is the man to beat. The John Cena United States Title open challenge starts now.

You want some, come get some.

Kane answers the call.

Cena wins with the AA, with Seth Rollins laughing about the loss backstage.

Tonight, Ziggler Vs Rollins.

Kane comes backstage after his loss, and HHH gives him “the look”, you know that look, like when your parents are disappointed in you?

The Miz is with Renee Young.

Miz’s brand is on the line tonight. He gets to face that imposter, and Miz shows off his “The Marine 4” Blu-Ray, out tomorrow.

But Renee interrupts this interview, with another interview. Byron Saxton is standing by with The United States Champion, John Cena.

John talks about opportunities and tonight’s win was huge. But Rusev attacks him with a chain.

Rusev Vs Cena in a Russian Chain match this Sunday, at Extreme Rules.

The Miz Vs Damien Mizdow is up now.

The Miz wins, with some help from Summer Rae, who turns heel again.

The Miz tells us he is AWESOME…..

RKO by Orton, giving us 4 tonight.

Extreme Rules rundown.

Luke Harper Vs Dean Ambrose is added, with a Chicago Streetfight. Also New Day Vs Cesaro and Kidd is now for the Tag Team Titles, and it’s in the Kick-Off show.

So New Day was fighting for a shot at Tag Titles, and they aren’t even on the PPV.

How is that a new day?

Ziggler Vs Rollins is tonight.

Bray Wyatt interrupts us to ask if you want success, do you want money? Fame? Because you can lift as much weight as you want, but the one factor that will hurt you is Bray Wyatt. He will show that you have been nothing but a failure, and when you look up, you’ll see Bray Wyatt standing on top of you.

Behold the new face of fear.

Ryback Vs Adam Rose, now.

Shellshock, game is over.

The hot dog and banana try to attack Ryback, but it doesn’t work.

Ryback asks us what the banana said to the hot dog? Nothing, because they both had been shellshocked.

Renee Young is standing by with Kane. I guess Rollins was tweeting a joke about Kane’s loss. He tweeted that Kane needs dental floss and depends.

Kane confronts Rollins in the back. They go face to face, and Rollins apologizes. He admitted he has been under pressure with Orton. He knows Kane has done alot for Rollins, and to stay on top. He will dedicate his match with Ziggler to Kane.

Rollins walks out with J & J Security, with Randy Orton watching in the distance.

Rollins wins the match with an Implanted DDT, after Sheamus comes out to distract Ziggler for a moment.

After the match, Rollins wants to say his thank yous, and show the world why he is the best in the business this Sunday.

Here comes HHH, and he’s marching to the ring.

HHH wanted to tell us Rollins is going to defeat Randy Orton, and remain the WWE World Champion, but Rollins interrupts HHH and degrades Kane. But now here comes Kane, the cage goes down. Orton is somehow there….RKO!!!

We don’t stop there, no we must plug Hulk Hogan Rock and Wrestling on WWE Network.

NOW the show ends here.

Kevin’s Thoughts:

What a boring show tonight, the highlights were the RKO’s. Not sure why Kane and Rollins are bitching too. But eh, who cares.

Anyway, Extreme Rules is this Sunday, and I can’t wait to see New Day Vs Cesaro and Kidd.

Can’t you tell?

WWE Monday Night Raw 2/16/15…The American Dream Is In Da House…If Ya Wheel

Happy Birthday to my Grandmother Carolyn Thompson, who turned 92 years young, and my dog Romeo, who just turn 3.

Tonight, we are live, and in color, if ya wheel.  “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes is here, and will confront his two boys.

We are in Orlando, Florida.  Michael Cole, JBL, and Booker T welcome us to the show.

John Cena kicks off the show.

Tonight, Daniel Bryan faces The Big Show.  And Reigns faces Kane.

We are a week away from Fastlane.  Cena is amazed by a sold out arena in Orlando.

We see footage of last week, when Rusev went after Cena’s eye and sent him through the Raw platform, receiving a scratched cornea.

Cena is here to say no more.  Even though Rusev crushed him last week, he is saying no more.

Rusev is a super athlete, they say he is unstoppable, and Cena says that is full of crap.  He is here to say he will beat Rusev this Sunday.  He will have to put the fight to Rusev.  He slides into the ring every week, and he loves when the fans boo, and when the fans cheer.  This is what Raw is about.  Having fun.

But having fun isn’t going to cut it this Sunday with Rusev.  Everytime people ask when will Cena change.  And every opponent, Cena conquers with a smile on his face.  But now Rusev says he has lost a step, that he lacks the aggression it takes to compete with an athlete like Rusev.  If you want aggression, you got it.  There won’t be smiles this Sunday, just active aggression, and he will defeat Rusev for the first time.  This Sunday, he fights to win the United States Championship.

Here comes Rusev.

Typical John Cena giving us the tired, old rhetoric.  You just don’t get it John.  He’s not a stupid American, but he lives in a delusional world.  Where his cup is half fill, as Lana says.  She and Rusev live in the reality.  The reality is Rusev is a world-class athlete, and the greatest United States Champion.  John comes back after a brutal beating, Lana promises this time, there will be no coming back.

Rusev doesn’t need our USA.  He will destroy Cena, and everything he stands for.  His body, his spirit, his will to live will be crushed.

Cena talks about Rusev never getting his ass kicked.  He makes one more move, and he will get his ass kicked.

Rusev does the You Can’t See Me gesture.

Cena comes out to destroy Rusev.  And now Cena rams Rusev’s head through the platform.

Cena is kicking Rusev’s ass now, with Cena telling him every man can be beat.

Rusev needs the win this Sunday.

Moments ago, we see Cena take Rusev out.

Earlier today, Dean Ambrose gave us a “Weekend Update”, saying that Dean will beat Luke Harper and at the end of the night, Bad News Barrett will sign a contract for the IC Title match at Fastlane.

Ambrose Vs Harper is now.

Dirty Deeds, match is over.

Ambrose wants his IC Title match signed.

Switching gears, “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes is here in Orlando today.  He is going to settle things for both of his boys.

What is next for HHH?  We will find out tonight.

Also, Daniel Bryan faces The Big Show and Roman Reigns faces Kane.

I hate the name of Fastlane for a PPV.

HHH is talking to Kane, and they come across The Big Show.

Kane and Big Show are bickering like 2 school children.  HHH stops them and says they represent The Authority.  Seeing them argue, do you know how that makes HHH look?

Big Show gives a comment about the same way Sting made HHH look.

HHH tells him he will deal with Sting tonight.  He is looking for solutions, get it?

Bray Wyatt interrupts.

What happened to him disturbs Bray?  It makes Bray do horrible things.  And now that fear he once had for him is turned to pity.

It’s coming.

Good lord, another backstage segment.

This time with The Rhodes.

Goldust tells Stardust he doesn’t want to go down that road, and here comes “The American Dream”.

Stardust just blows stars in the mist, and Dusty tells him there is blood here, and no matter what, he loves them both.

Goldust asks him if he can do this.  Stardust reaches out, shakes hands, and gives Goldust a hug.

They have a match tonight.

Gold and Stardust Vs The New Day.

Xavier and Kofi win the match with Xavier doing a spinning heel kick, pinning Goldust, after Goldy caught Stardust and saved him from being kicked.

Stardust checks on Goldy after the match, made sure he’s okay then hits Crossroads, turning on his brother for good.

Byron Saxton is with Roman Reigns, wanting to know what the journey feels like the last few weeks.

Reigns is staying focused on the destination, and that is to main event Wrestlemania.

Byron wants to know if there is any resentment towards The Authority.  Roman talks about The Authority tried to take popular opinion, and turn the tables by pushing Seth Rollins into the mix, and it didn’t work.

But Daniel Bryan did the same thing, right?  Let’s put it like this, if the roles were reversed, and Roman was thrown over the top rope, he would take it like a man, and not whine about it.

Daniel has this opportunity because Roman gave it to him, and he’s going to take that opportunity back, after this Sunday.

Reigns Vs Kane is up next, with Daniel Bryan joining commentary.

We are in Orlando, and during the commercial, Dusty confronted Stardust.  Cody Rhodes is gone.  He was destined to live in the shadow of his father, and live in the embarrassment of his brother.  That was a disaster, a beautiful disaster.  But Cody exploded.  He dances with the stars now.  Cody Rhodes is dead.  And as far as Stardust is concerned, so is his father.

Reigns Vs Kane now.

Reigns wins the match by countout, which seems a bit cheap here.  Daniel was being doubted by commentary, and we had the Yes chants dominate the match.

After the win, Reigns invited Daniel into the ring, but Daniel instead went around the ring to chant yes.

When we come back, we see Daniel being interviewed by Renee Young.

It seems like Roman was distracted here with the yes chants, so is that Daniel’s strategy?

Daniel brings up if Roman can’t handle a few yes chants, then he has no chance of winning this Sunday.

Bray Wyatt interrupts us, yet again.

Bray just tells us to be ready.

Byron Saxton wants to interview Paige, but The Bella Twins have stolen her ring gear.

Paige comes out in a towel, looking for her clothes. For some unknown reason, she finds Cameron there. Paige asks Cameron if she has ring gear to borrow, and Cameron, the only air time she has had in about 5 months tells her no, and girl, bye.

Paige sees the Rosebuds, and takes a girl in a firy costume when we go to a break.

Paige, decked in the fairy outfit faces Summer Rae.

Paige wins with the PTO, complete in a fairy outfit.

The Bella Twins come out to mock Paige in her outfit, but Paige interrupts and says to her, it’s about winning. And after this Sunday, she will be wearing the Divas Title, again.

Seth Rollins Vs Dolph Ziggler is next.

Sheamus returns to WWE.

Rollins comes out.

Rollins is about the future. He is sick and tired of talking about the past. He is the most talented performer in the world, right now. He is untouchable, and can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. But what he really wants to do is cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase, and become the new WWE World Champion. He should be main eventing Wrestlemania. But instead, he has to deal with people who are so beneath him like Erick Rowan, Ryback, and Dolph Ziggler.

Enter Ziggler.

Ziggler tells us some jokes about Rollins, and Seth said that the only joke Ziggler knows is the joke of his career.

Ziggler is nothing like Rollins.

Ziggler tells Seth he’s right, he’s not a douche. But Ziggler will tell you the kind of guy he is. He is the kind that took out The Authority. And since they are back, he can do the next best thing, and take out Rollins, and show-off.

Ziggler Vs Rollins is now.

Ziggler wins by DQ, when J & J Security helped Rollins out. But here comes backup with Ryback and Rowan. Ryback gave Mercury a Meathook Clothesline.

HHH is watching backstage. he speaks next.

This Sunday night, on the Fastlane Pre-Show, we will an episode of Miz TV with The Miz and his guest, Paul Heyman.

HHH comes out to the ring.

We see footage of last week.

So word on the street is HHH is afraid of Sting? He finds that laughable. It takes more than just mind games. At Fastlane, the unthinkable will happen. Sting, “The ICON”, “The Franchise” will go face to face with “The Game”, “The Cerebral Assassin”.

WOOOOOOOOO

Here comes Ric Flair.

Flair is here to get something straight around here. Flair loves him, he respects him.

HHH told Flair he is here to sing praises for Sting. Save it, he has heard that many times.

Flair tells HHH to not take Sting lightly. HHH knows who Sting is, he has done his homework. He saw him, a blonde-haired punk kid go 60 minutes with you.

He also watched Sting become the Franchise, and earned your respect. sting was, and still is WCW. He watched the very last Nitro, Sting was on top and when all of the other rats jumped ship, Sting never did that and he has respect for him.

But if he had come here, HHH would have kicked his ass, and kick him out. Because he built his reputation on Flair’s accomplishments, and that pisses him off.

But that was then, and this is now. So now, he wants to make this personal. Sting is WCW, but make no mistake about it, HHH is WWE.

Flair reminds him that HHH lost to Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania 30. He did that, because he wasn’t a full-time wrestker.

HHH is not Ric Flair. But make no mistake about it, nobody can kick ass like HHH, and Ric Flair isn’t HHH.

Flair tells him not to be on the ground after he sees him this Sunday.

HHH shoves Flair, and tells him that outside of hos kids and his wife. Nobody will take his company.

He walks away, it seems John Cena will appear on “Parks and Recreation” this coming Tuesday night.

Earlier tonight, Cena knocked out Rusev,

Cena Vs Rusevl is set this Sunday.

Tonight, Daniel Bryan vs Big Show.

Darren Young, and his partner are set to face The Ascension. They don’t even tell us the dude’s name here.

Titus O’ Neil shows up to help Darren Young with The Ascension, taking them out.

Are The Primetime Players back?

The Miz wants Bad News Barrett to take care of Mizdow, and in turn, he will watch for Dean Ambrose, to make sure Barrett doesn’t get his signature. Seems like a good deal

Bad News Barrett Vs Damien Mizdow is up now.

Barrett wins with the Bull Hammer, and The Miz kept distracting Mizdow, telling him to polish his shoe, but the IC Champion prevailed.

Now comes Dean Ambrose, who lays out Bad News Barrett, and ties him around a ring post. He grabs the contract, and forces Barrett to sign the contract, set for Fastlane.

Now we have Bray Wyatt, again.

What shakes a heart of a man who truly dies? The answer is within Bray. The answer is the creature within Bray Wyatt. There is no other way with this. Find me, or I will find you.

Sheamus is returning to WWE.

Jimmy Uso and Naomi Vs Tyson Kidd and Natalya is up now.

Naomi and Jimmy win the match when Naomi rolled up Nattie for the win.

Tyson is now berating her, wondering what happened. It’s all of her fault.

The Uso’s Vs Tyson and Cesaro is this Sunday, at Fastlane.

Earlier tonight, Reigns hits a spear on Kane outside of the ring, causing a countout win. Daniel Bryan distracted him, and Roman seemed bothered by it.

Bryan Vs Big Show is up now.

But first, Roman Reigns comes out for commentary.

This Thursday night on Smackdown, Ziggler Vs Rollins, with J & J Security banned from ringside.

Our main event, Daniel Bryan Vs The Big Show is now.

Daniel Bryan is DQ’d when Reigns his a Superman Punch on Show, after Show laid out Reigns.

The show ends with both men trading blows, with officials breaking them up. We have a Norman Smiley sighting. But that doesn’t help, when Daniel has the final saying laying out Reings.

Reigns Vs Bryan this Sunday. We are on the Fastlane to Wrestlemania.

Kevin’s Thoughts:

I’ve said it before here, The Road To Wrestlemania hasn’t really started, because they have a February PPV to promote. And some of what they showed, I have no interest of. But some I do. I want to see what happens to Reigns Vs Bryan. Do we set it up where Brock Lesnar comes out, and destroys both men, setting up a Triple Threat match at Mania?

It was great to see Flair back, and I loved hearing from HHH. To hear from Sting this Sunday is intriguing.

I am also tired of hearing Seth Rollins say the same thing every week. At some point, and I have to think it will be very soon, he will cash in his MITB briefcase, perhaps at Wrestlemania?

What were your thoughts on the show? Send them to me.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/18/14…Preview To Hell In A Cell

We begin the show with highlights from Raw, when Dean Ambrose reached the contract on a pole from John Cena. Hell in a Cell now will feature Cena Vs Orton, and Ambrose Vs Rollins.

Seth Rollins kicks off the show.

The crowd is chanting he sold out, and Rollins admits it. When you were younger, honor and integrity mean the world to you. But let’s be honest, honor doesn’t pay the bills. And when it comes to making the money, we would sell out anyone and anything, even your soul to be anything like Rollins.

But we will never be like Seth, and never be as successful as he will become. Because we will never see what Seth does, selling out is the best thing you can do in life. Rollins is the future of the WWE.

And that brings him to his Hell in a Cell match with Dean Ambrose. Seth will only say this once, Dean Ambrose does not belong in a Hell in a Cell. He belongs in a straight jacket. He will be carried out. Then Dean will be nothing but a hot, sweaty mess.

Seth sold out, but at Hell in a Cell, he will put him out.

Dolph Ziggler shows up.

Ziggler tells Rollins the fans don’t want to see him. When you sell out, you get the money, you get the fame, but there is one thing you can’t get, and that is self-respect.

Does anyone really care about self-respect. Did self-respect save you from a Curb Stomp Monday night? He will get a Curb Stomp tonight just by showing off.

Ziggler Vs Rollins, now.

Rollins wins the match with a Curb Stomp, a good, competitive match, but “Mr. Money in the Bank” pulls it off.

Here comes Dean Ambrose, charging to the ring.

Rollins runs off, and Ambrose just wants to chat. He finally gets what he wanted, a shot at Rollins inside Hell in a Cell. He is going to do whatever it takes to win.

Here comes “Corporate” Kane.

Kane confirms that Ambrose Vs Rollins inside Hell in a Cell will take place, but Kane is feeling aggressive. He loves hurting people, and he wants Ambrose to scream in pain, when he faces Kane, later tonight.

Tonight, 6-man tag match od The Uso’s and Sheamus Vs The Miz, Gold and Stardust.

AJ Lee is in the ring, next.

Tom Phillips, Michael Cole, and JBL welcome us to the show, and we see the new “besties” at commentary, Paige and Alicia Fox.

It’s now AJ Vs Layla.

Black Widow time, that is all she wrote.

Alicia Fox tried to attack AJ, but Paige gets AJ at the end with a Rampaige, and then skip around the ring.

Kane is backstage, when Rollins asks Kane to leave him a little piece of Ambrose. Kane reminds Seth he and Ambrose have never experienced Hell in a Cell. Both of them don’t understand the pain they will suffer together. Kane tells Seth that the three of them will take care of Ambrose and Cena in the 3-on-2 Handicap Street Fight. But tonight, learn something, he knows Ambrose will.

We are in Birmingham, Alabama. 8 days away from Smackdown, where we find out that Sheamus will face The Miz for a United States Title.

Footage from last Tuesday’s Main Event.

Renee Young is with Sheamus and The Uso’s.

How do they feel heading into tonight’s 6-man match?

They are all ready for a fight.

Bray Wyatt is setting Erick Rowan free.

6-man tag match is up now. Sheamus and The Uso’s Vs The Miz, Gold and Stardust.

Sheamus and The Uso’s win when Sheamus pins Goldust with a Brogue Kick.

Our main event tonight is Dean Ambrose Vs Kane.

The rubber match will take place at Hell in a Cell with The Big Show vs Rusev.

Big Show is headed to the ring, next.

We see the history between The Big Show and Rusev the last few weeks.

Big Show talks about what it was like growing up as a kid, being a giant.

He accepts the responsibility of pinning Rusev in the ring, at Hell in a Cell. He has beaten him, but has never pinned him. He knocked him out once, knocked him out twice, but three times will be a charm.

Big Show calls for Mark Henry to come to the ring.

Big Show talks about traveling the road together, and one night they were hungry, going to a Waffle House, with a filled up place. Someone took their parking space, and they flipped the car over.

Big Show asks Mark Henry to stay out of ringside at Hell in a Cell. He needs to do this by himself.

Mark agrees to do this, he had his shot. Brother to brother, friend to friend, man to man, Mark will get out of his business if that’s what he wants.

Enter Rusev, and Lana.

How pathetic, Mark Henry and Big Show are like the Goodyear Blimp, they are all blown up, full of gas, and very slow.

Rusev has the mic.

After he beats Big Show, these people will turn on him, because he let them down, just like his friend Mark Henry did. Big Show, he will crush him.

Big Show has heard enough, at Hell in a Cell, Show pins Rusev.

Nikki Bella is in action, next.

Nikki Vs Naomi is up now. It seems Nikki Vs Brie is set at Hell in a Cell, with the loser being the winner’s bitch for a month.

Okay.

Nikki wins the match, with Brie looking on backstage.

Tonight, Kane Vs Dean Ambrose.

Sister Abigail is coming, or at least that is what Bray Wyatt leads us to think.

It’s coming.

Renee Young is with Dean Ambrose.

What are his thoughts over facing Kane.

Ambrose was explaining what he was going to do with Rollins at Hell in a Cell, but Kane interrupted him. Kane is talking about ripping his head off. Well, Dean thinks Kane has made way too many horror flicks. This ain’t Hollywood, this is Birmingham, Alabama. He has something to say to Kane, Yipee Kay Ye.

Kane Vs Ambrose, now.

Ambrose wins by DQ, when Rollins runs in and attacks Ambrose, with Kane helping. But “The Lunatic Fringe” turns the tides, and has a chair backing him up, nailing Kane, with Rollins running out of dodge, ending the show.

Kevin’s Thoughts:

This was an okay show, but something bothers me, especially seeing this tonight. Twice this week, the IC Champion is pinned, and for what? Pinning a champion used to mean something, now it doesn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I liked both matches Ziggler had, but why even have that match where there is no money on the loss?

Wrestling needs to go back to the simple formula, the title might mean something more if the champion doesn’t lose every week.

And Mark Henry will turn heel for the 500,000th time in his career, costing Big Show his Hell in a Cell match.

It’s that easy.

Do you agree? Send me your thoughts here.

WWE Monday Night Raw 6/16/14…Raw Is Cleveland!!

We are live in Cleveland, Ohio. The entire locker room is out, waiting for a huge announcement by The Authority.

And here comes Mr. and Mrs. McMahon.

They have called for these superstars and divas for a meeting, because they care. They can’t imagine how rough it is to not have a WWE World Champion.

It is an honor to be a champion, because you are immortalized. Take a look at Stephanie’s husband, he is a 13-time World Champion. And its embarrassing for them to be represented by a “B+ player” like Daniel Bryan.

The thing that is disappointing about Daniel isn’t his ability, it’s his heart. His refusal to defend the WWE World Championship. His lack of desire to be a fighting champion is disappointing. We deserve that. Steph and HHH are excited, because standing on the ramp could be the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Who will qualify and join 5 other men for a chance at the WWE World Heavyweight Title. Who will join Randy Orton, Cesaro, Alberto Del Rio, Bray Wyatt, and Sheamus.

We are going to have a Battle Royal tonight.

But wait a second, we won’t have everyone. Those 3 men have been defying The Authority. Those men are Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and John Cena.

Cena has been trying to help so many men lately. He has tried to help Reigns and Ambrose. He has tried to help Daniel Bryan. But he will still get his chance tonight. You see his wife has been promising this match for many weeks, and we hate to be looked at as a liar, that is why Cena will have a match, a stretcher match. And his opponent?

Kane.

Kane Vs Cena tonight in a Stretcher Match. We will also have a Battle Royal to determine who gets into the title match, at Money in the Bank. Also, our special guest tonight is none other than Kevin Hart. Not to mention, one on one, we will see Sheamus Vs Bray Wyatt, and Dolph Ziggler Vs Seth Rollins.

Kane is coming out, is the stretcher match next?

Ziggler Vs Rollins kicks things off, now.

Dean Ambrose comes into the ring, and costs the match with Ziggler to get his hand on Rollins.

He wants Seth to come back to the ring, and fight him like a man.

HHH is on the Titan Tron. Dean likes to fight, that’s good. But he’s afraid he has some bad news for him.

Enter Bad News Barrett.

Ambrose loses by countout, when Rollins comes back, and Dean fights with Seth outside of the ring.

Barrett celebrates, but Dean hits a Dirty Deeds, after the match.

I love the pace and action of this show so far.

Big night feel in Cleveland.

Roman Reigns wants to be in that Battle Royal, and he asks Vickie Guerrero to get put in the match.

She forgot the cream for the coffee she is giving The Authority, and Roman slips something in the coffee.

When will Vickie tell them to take this job, and shove it.

Vickie sneezes.

Cleveland….we’re next.

The Wyatts are in action, next.

The Wyatts are in the ring with a ladder.

You have nothing in this world, without power. Power, it can be so addicting. You need power, you crave power. And power will be the downfall of this world, as we know it. Power can be respected, and weak. Power, an influence, that’s Bray’s game. And as long as he lives in his world, with us, the titles represent all of the power he ever needs.

Take a look at his brothers. They are known as outcasts, yet power works in mysterious ways. At Money in the Bank, his brothers will fight, and take away any power of the Uso’s they ever had. power and influence, at Money in the Bank, he will stand at the top of the ladder, and change this world as we see it. Hanging above this ladder is the change we have all been praying for.

All he has to do is reach up, and take it. And when he does, he promises he will say he has all of the power in his hand.

He has the whole world in his hand….he has the whole wide world in his hand….he has the whole world in his hand.

Sheamus interrupts.

It’s bad luck to walk under a ladder, lad. And to be honest, he thinks one thing, while Sheamus will do another thing. He sings he has the whole world in his hand? How about Sheamus sticks his boot up his arse.

It’s time to fight, fella.

Sheamus Vs Bray Wyatt, now.

Another DQ finish here, this time Bray is DQ’d when Harper and Rowan went after Sheamus. The Uso Brothers, who earlier came to the defense of Sheamus fought, and all 6 men are involved.

With Sheamus and The Uso’s standing tall.

At Money in the Bank, The Uso’s will face Harper and Rowan for the Tag Team Titles.

Vickie bumps into HHH, and coffee is spilled all over Vickie’s dress. She has to get another one.

Kevin Hart is here tonight, and we will see a Battle Royal to determine who is entered in the Money in the Bank WWE World Title match.

2 qualifying matches tonight. A battle royal, and we see an ambulance, with Cena Vs Kane in a stretcher match.

Renee Young is surely digging that coffee. She is with Renee Young.

She loves that roofie.

The Authority is all about opportunity, and now she has to take a dump.

Paul Heyman shows up, and tells us where there is chaos, there is opportunity. For the first time ever, the winner of Money in the Bank becomes the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

What would the world be like if Bray Wyatt wins? Or Randy Orton, The Authority could truly be dominant, if he wins. Or Albert Del Rio, or even Sheamus.

But here is a spoiler, his client, Cesaro will become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, and shock the world.

Spoiler alert.

Heath Slater, the One Man Band, baby will face Rusev. We also get to see “The Ravishing Russian” Lana.

Lana tries to talk, but the Cleveland fans are chanting USA.

We live in a nation of weaklings, whose superiors lack conviction in their leadership. You’re not even deserving to be called men, especially when you’re being compared to the wonderful Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Our monuments will crumble, and new ones will be built in its place.

Rusev and Putin are replacing Jefferson and Lincoln on monument.

He is the superior athlete, Rusev.

Now it’s time for Heath to speak.

Weeke after week, they have been talking about how great Russia is, why not go back and live there? Slater is tired of hearing about it. The WWE Universe is tired of hearing about it, and he;s facing The American Rockstar, BABY!!

Accolade, match is over.

Slater tried.

Stephanie is throwing up, and HHH is irate at Vickie.

Now Steph threw up on Vickie.

That is not funny, it’s gross.

HHH and Stephanie leave and HHH is putting Vickie in charge. Don’t screw up the battle royal.

Vickie screams.

I hated that segment.

We come back with Renee Young, who is with Kevin Hart. “Think Like A Man Too” comes out this Friday.

Kevin talks about the movie, and Adam Rose interrupts him. We have the bunny sighting.

Kevin needs to start thinking like a Rosebud.

Kevin Hart is coming out for commentary during the next match.

The match is Fandango and Layla Vs Summer Rae and Adam Rose.

Adam and Summer win with Party Foul, after Summer chases Layla.

Kevin Hart is now being a Rosebud.

Our Battle Royal, which now includes Roman Reigns is next.

Playing the part of Lebron James is Damien Sandow. He’s the first eliminated, and will not get an opportunity to repeat Money in the Bank.

He has fallen.

Roman Reigns wins the match, eliminating Rusev with a Superman Punch. That was an awesome finish.

Reigns is heading to Money in the Bank.

Renee Young is with Cena.

Roman Reigns wasn’t even supposed to be in the Battle Royal, yet he wins. Anything can happen on Monday Night Raw.

The Authority need Cena’s help for the Stretcher Match, and he obliges.

He will defeat Kane, and advance into the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, his chance to be new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

That is best for business.

Now, it’s Cameron Vs Paige.

Paige wins with the PTO.

Moving on….

The Rhodes Brothers are struggling to get wins.

Byron Saxson is with Goldust.

Goldust likes his partner tonight, it seems.

We will find out who that is, next.

Rybaxel will face Goldust and…

Stardust…AKA Cody Rhodes, dressed in Gold.

Stardust and Goldust win!!

They shock the world.

Honoring the athletes at the Special Olympic Games.

Cena Vs Kane in a Stretcher Match is next.

Yup, you know who wins. Although Orton and Rollins came out and tried to prevent that, but Dean Ambrose came out to counter them. Cena struggles to make Kane cross the line, but an AA at the end did it.

Money in the Bank Ladder match is set now. Cena Vs Cesaro Vs Del Rio Vs Reigns Vs Orton Vs Sheamus Vs Wyatt.

Cena celebrates, as the show comes to an end.

Kevin’s Thoughts:

Tonight’s show is lesson number one, where you book a successful show, and the things you don’t book to make it disastrous.

The first hour was awesome, absolutely incredible. The pacing was great, the finishes made sense, and everything gelled.

Then, when Stephanie threw up on Vickie Guerrero, well the show went downhill. And let’s face it, Kevin Hart was used only minimal. What was the point of him being there? Especially when all they had to do was show clips to plug the movie.

They did an incredible job with the Battle Royal though, and even made Rusev look good, being eliminated by Reigns.

Then came Stardust….

I am a big Cody Rhodes fan, the guy has talent, but the writers just don’t know what to do with him. Cody was red-hot last year, when he was feuding with The Authority, and won the Tag Titles with his half-brother, Goldust. But ever since then, nothing. And now?

Wasted talent.

The guys in the main event tried to make the match exciting, but let’s face it, even a 4-year-old knew Cena was going to win.

So here we go, Raw in a nutshell. What were your thoughts? Share them with me, here.

Next Monday night is my Birthday, so Raw needs to be entertaining for 3 hours.

In fact, that’s a challenge to do it every week.
