411’s WWE RAW Report 11.23.15

November 23, 2015 | Posted by Tony Acero

It’s RAW BINGO! Everyone who e mailed me over the last two weeks should have their card! Pay close attention to the show, and have fun!

RAW!
IS!
BINGO!


Remember how RAW ended last week? I hated it so much, I wrote about it! Be sure to check out What Paige and Charlotte Did Wrong!!

Oh, yes. RAW.

Well, it starts with recaps! I’m sure that’s a square.

We are welcomed to RAW by Michael Cole. Immediately, The Authority’s music hits, and for the first time in a long time, some of you are hoping for an opening that lasts longer than ten minutes.

Timer starts……now.

Steph welcomes us to RAW. She said life is defined by opportunity. Those who sieze it, miss it, and those who let it pass through their hands. That’s right, two weeks ago, H offered Reigns an opportunity that virtually insured he’d be champion at this moment. All he had to do was shake H’s hand, and show the faith in the company the same way the company had faith in him. What Roman chose was to tell Triple H to shove the opportunity. For some, their lucky if opportunity knocks once. For Reigns, it’s knocked a few times. Reigns turned it down last night as well. H offered a congratulations, and Reigns speared him. Triple H says “buried” and it gives me chills. H wants all of us to learn from this. This is a life-lesson. Our lives are defined by opportunities – the ones you sieze, and he ones you miss. He wants to introduce us to a man that knows how to sieze opportunity.

HHH introduces Sheamus, and here he is, wearing no pants. Sheamus calls this a moment, claims it doesn’t get any better than this. He thanks us for booing. He appreciates this. There is nothing we can say to ruin his moment. Last night, Reigns made it to the top of the mountain, but he didn’t stay because he Brogue Kicked him right off. Historians know that the Roman Empire lasted five hundred years, but this one lasted roughly five minutes and fifteen seconds. He asks H if he saw Reigns reaction last night. When Brutus stabbed Caesar, at least he rolled over and died like a man. OK….

Sheamus told each and every one of us that he was just one Brogue kick away from becoming the next WWE Champion. He has one question for the entire WWE Universe…..WHO LOOKS STUPID NOW?!!?

The answer, according to the crowd, is still Sheamus.

Triple H interjects, and says Sheamus doesn’t look stupid, he looks like the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. They hug.

Roman Reigns has something to say about this.

Sheamus mocks Reigns reign, effectively raining on Reigns parade.

Reigns gets in the face of Sheamus, and he’s smiling far too much for my liking. He congratulates Sheamus. The crowd is pro-Reigns. He tells Nashville that Reigns wants his rematch tonight.

YES! Chant! That’s a box!

Segment has officially surpassed 10 minutes! That’s a box!

Steph says that Reigns opportunity to make demands was lost when he speared Triple H, so this is what Steph wants…she wants Reigns to get out of her ring.

Reigns looks confused. Is Triple H standing behind Stephanie because he’s afraid of Reigns?

Steph steps aside. Triple H has his super serious business face on. Roman steps forward.

The stare lasts longer than my first time.

Triple H is about to say something, but Reigns steps forward even closer. Triple H congratulates Reigns on the spear last night. How’d that work out for Reigns? This is why he’s no longer the champion. H says Reigns will get his rematch when HE says he will. It sure as hell won’t be tonight.

Triple H and Stephanie leave the ring and, from out of nowhere, RUSEV with a SUPERKICK!!!!

Reigns struggles. Stands. Brogue Kick to Reigns!!! Rusev shouts obscenities – or menu items – in Bulgarian. He and Sheamus shake hands.

Nashville, stupidly, tries to start a USA chant. The hell?

Well, fifteen minutes in, and already a few boxes should be filled!

Triple H on the ramp, says pride is a bitch. Triple H says the rematch will happen at the TLC PPV in a TLC match.

Steph says the closest Reigns will get the title is when Sheamus is in the corner of Rusev tonight in his match against Reigns.

-Commercial Break-

A promo that means nothing just before this match.

After the match, Rowan goes in and hits D-Von with the Full Nelson Slam. Braun enters and grabs Bubba in a bear hug, then drops his lifeless body. Bray acts all crazy in the corner like he didn’t just get his ass handed to him less than 24 hours ago. Bray grabs D-Von from Harper and Rowan, and hits Sister Abigail.

Cole and JBL verbally fellate The Undertaker, and we get a recap of the 25 year thing going on. They splice in the panel of H, HBK, and SCSA with JBL.

Team BAD is here! The Boss is front and center.

Match 2: Sasha Banks vs. My Feelings for AJ Lee
Sasha plugging her ears to Becky’s music is awesome. Lockup to start, and Becky tosses Sasha across, only for her to land on her feet.

Official Result: Sasha Bank
Could this be…
Rating: **

Cole and JBL try and say Sasha may be next in line, but they’re cut off by Paige backstage. She says that she’s next in line and she’s going to show how Charlotte is a cheater. Cole interrupts and asks how she cheated. Paige yells for him not to interrupt. She says that we don’t know about this world. Before Cole interrupts again, she is going to show some footage from last night. We get the end of the women’s match where Charlotte has the hold on her, all while her arms are underneath the bottom rope. Paige says she hates the way Charlotte walks around thinking she is a someone. She is just like her dad, a Dirty Player, and Paige is about to show her and us that she is nothing but an embarrassment, just like her daddy.

Paige got her some fire…

The New Day’s First Anniversary Country Music Jamborie and WWE Tag Team Championship Open Challenge is next!! I LOVE THE FACT THAT I HAD TO TYPE THAT ENTIRE THING OUT!!!

New Day comes out riding Unicorns! Well, unicorns on sticks! Big E has a litte red hat, and rope.

Kofi has a horn in his hair. He calls out Music City. It’s a very special time of year, because this is the official one year anniversary of The New Day! Woods says they’re turning one! Big E says “Yippee Kiyaay Mutha—” SHUT YO MOUTH! Kofi says that New Day is being forced to spend their one year anniversary in the capital of….

Big E: “In the capital of….*spews*”

Woods tries: “Capital of…COUNTRY MUSIC?!?! EW!”

Kofi calls this terrible, because New Day is about the power of positivity, and when it comes to Country Music…it sucks. Big E calls it awful. Kofi goes country for a bit, and Woods plays the trombone. Big E talks of his pickup truck. Kofi’s dog ran away, and he needs a new girlfriend. Big E wants to know how many songs are there about tractors? Kofi says no one wants to hear about them. If there’s one thing we’ve learned about The New Day, is that the power of positivity is your friend.

MESSAGE.

This is why The New Day wants to show all of us what Country Music should sound like. Woods sings a beautiful song, “Momma don’t let your babies grow up to beeeeeeeeeee BOOOOTTTYYYY!!!”

They bring up Country music sucking again. Kofi says this is him, not his character – Country Music sucks!

Woods claims that they have been inspired by the Power of Opportunity, and want to allow an Open Challenge for their titles.

The Lucha Dragons are here, and they have something to say. Kalisto says New Day doesn’t rocks, he says NEW DAYRUNS. He tries to start the chant. In all seriousness, Kalisto says that if the challenge is real, then they are serious about taking that challenge. Sin Cara on the mic, says Happy Anniversary, and the Luchas enter the ring.

We get a staredown. New Day backs up, and is about to leave the ring but here’s The Usos!

The Usos say WHOA a bunch of times. WOods says they don’t deserve an opportunity at their title. Usos bring up the fact that the challenge was open. Kofi says this was just a figure of speech. The Usos are not ready for a title match. The Usos say they’re ready, and Nashville’s ready for it, too.

Sin Cara tells Usos to calm down, because they were out here first but Sin Cara says the more the better. He says to make this a Triple Threat.

Usos enter the ring. BIG E says “ENOUGH” and that they have all ruined their jamboree. This was supposed to be a celebration. Kofi yells SHAME to each team. haha. Tonight was about them, and these two teams have made it about them. Woods says that NO ONE gets a shot at their titles now. The challenge has officially been cancelled. One of The Usos cheap shots Woods as The Lucha Dragons attack Big E and Kofi. They double team Big E, sending him to the outside. Attack on Woods that I miss, because I had to take a bite of this monstrosity:


*Brock Lesnar is not affiliated with 411mania or Tony Acero*

I hear it was a Superkick Party, though!

Some flashes of New Day Awesomeness, but overall a rare miss in my opinion.

According to The Authority, we’re getting a Divas Title rematch.

The Divas champ is backstage with Renee! Does Charlotte have anything to say? Charlotte says she always has and will respect Paige as a competitor. She knows the type of person Charlotte is, and she knows it’s not over. Charlotte says Paige can moan, cry, politic all she wants, but she’ll be facing Paige tonight. WOOO.

That promo made no sense.

Mark Henry is here to lose.

Wait, he’s facing Neville…maybe not.

Match 3: Neville vs Mark Henry
Neville circles Henry a bit. Neville with a kick to the thigh. He ducks a clothesline and gets another kick in. Henry gets him cornered, though, and tosses him into the turnbuckle. Headbutts drive Neville down to the mat. Henry smirks a bit, then lifts Neville up like a good sportsman. Neville with forearms!!! Henry shoves Neville back hard. Uh-oh! Henry tosses Neville across the ring like nothing. Neville rolls to the outside. He gets up on the steps while Henry struggles with his anger issues. Neville gets to the top rope and goes for a crossbody, but Henry catches him! He goes for The World’s Strongest Slam, but Neville floats off on his feet. Henry rushes the corner, and Neville side steps.

High kick to the head!!! Mark Henry falls down. Neville goes up top! RED ARROW! Pin for 1..2….3!!!
Official Result: Neville
I hate when they try and do a Chapter 1 when there were so many issues beforehand…
Rating: NR

It should be noted that Backstage, The Miz was watching this match.

After the match, Neville is about to head up the ramp, but the big man Henry is in the way. Henry extends his hand in respect. He tells Neville he’s gonna be good, and playfully gives him a slap in the face. Neville nods in agreeance and respect.

Stardust decides to cut a promo. He mentions Cesaro, then says Goldust might as well be an atom whizzing by at a—-

He’s cut off by Titus O’Neil who claims he must have taken a wrong turn. He loves Stardust’s place. He brings up constellation. Titus brings up his favorite one, Titanium. Stardust says there is no such thing. Titus tries to show him where it is, then barks in his ear.

So tonight, Stardust and The Ascension will face Primetime Players and Goldust.

Cole tries to make Goldust’s return important, but the WWE screwed that pooch.

Match 4: Stardust and The Ascension vs Goldust and The Primetime Players
Cody and Goldust to start. Cody thinks better of this, and tags in Conor. Victor wants in, so they stall more, and tag him in. Lockuop to start, and Victor backs Goldust in the corner.

Tag to Conor, who catches Young off a slingshot and slams him down hard. Pin for 1..2…NO! Conor with a back kick to the face. Conor drops an elbow and pins for 1…2.NO!

Sweet Ending

Zeb and Del Rio are here. Zeb wants to make something clear. Just because Del Rio wasn’t successful last night doesn’t mean MexAmerica is a failure. Quite the contrary. What last night was, was Growing Pains. He brings up another young country – America. Zeb says America is in trouble. Out of the kindness of their heart, they left MexAmerica open. This was not received very well. We did what Americas do best. We went to Twitter, Facebook, hashtagging, Grindr….hahahahaha

We complained and became a bunch of haters.

Del Rio cuts a promo on Mexicans. I’d translate, but I don’t want to. Just assume he said we ain’t shit. The crowd WHATs Del Rio. Zeb calls Del Rio’s promo beautiful Zeb wants to translate. They tried to teach us humility, tolerance, a lot of things we don’t have now, but we did not listen. So, Zeb is terminating all work and charity that they tried to do. Del Rio says to hell with all of us. From now on, the borders of MexAmerica are closed forever. Zeb reiterates this. He brings up an old saying; you can lead a horse to water, but can’t make em “think.” Uh….it’s drink. Zeb says he doesn’t see bravery out in the crowd. Zeb is about to go in on Freedom, but someone has had enough.

Jack Swagger is here! Swagger is shaking his head in disappointment as the crowd chants for USA. Swagger says he can’t believe what he is hearing. Zeb used to stand for something. Well Jack, now he’s not even standing. These people looked up to that just like him. Now, look at him. Zeb turns his back on the country? Swagger calls Zeb an old, bitter, out of touch hypocrite. Del Rio calls Swagger a stupid American. Zeb calls him a hater. Swagger says he promised to protect this country against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. If Del Rio doesn’t like what Swagger’s gotta say, why doesn’t Del Rio do something about it?

Del Rio holds his title out as Swagger enters the ring. Del Rio exits the ring to some boos. He and Zeb head to the back.

Swagger has one more thing to say. He asks for everyone to please rise, put your hand over our heart, and say “We the People!”

Cole describes the colors the girls are wearing for the following match, just in case you don’t know who is who…
