411’s WWE RAW Report 12.5.16

Welcome to RAW is…..RAW! Cuz it’s not War anymore, sooooo.

Banner!!!

RAW starts with a recap of Roman Reigns earning his shot come Roadblock. After the recap, the music of Seth Rollins hits live, and he heads down to the ring, seemingly angry.

Rollins on the mic: He tells Austin, Texas what’s up, and says there’s something that’s been bubbling under the surface for the past few months, so he’s going to straight out say it, “I want Triple H.” Life is about choices, and he chose to put together The Shield, and they changed the face of the WWE. When the time was right, he had to dismantle The Shield. Triple H chose to bet against Seth Rollins and chose Kevin Owens as the new golden boy. Last week, when he pedigreed Jericho, he chose to send a message to Triple H. That was just the beginning. Rollins could call Triple H right now, but that’s not how it works and he knows that. So how does he get to Triple H? It’s simple; he beats Kevin Owens and takes the WWE Universal Championship. But he can’t beat Owens while Jericho is still a part of the equation. So, he’s gotta remove that piece of the puzzle. Without Jericho, The Kevin Owen’s show is not quite ready for primetime…

Kevin Owens is here to prove him wrong. He heads out to the top of the ramp. Just as he is about to speak, Seth wants to ask how Jericho is – and how is their friendship? Owens says it’s very rude to interrupt people, so don’t do that again. He knows what Seth is trying to do. He saw Seth Pedigreed Jericho atop a car. Yes, he and Jericho had a fight. What’s funny is the fact that Seth doesn’t realize sometimes Best Friends fight. Look at his little Shield “brothers!” He stabbed them in the back the first chance he got. Best friends fight, but what’s important is that they make up. That’s what matters.

Seth assumes then that Jericho has been replying and answering phone calls, yes? Owens says not to worry about it. They are busy guys. Jericho was busy recovering. Owens was busy buying gifts, and he got Jericho three gifts! Owens says he was given nothing! He deserves the title 100%. He’s so sick of hearing he doesn’t deserve this. Let him guess; Reigns is a fighting champion? No. Last week, the only reason Reigns beat him is because of Seth, because of what he did to Chris. He still went out nd fought, though. It’s what he’s all about. Fight Owens Fight. That’s him.

Seth then asks him to put the title on the line against Seth right here and right now. Owens says Seth would like that, wouldn’t he. It’s not, because he already defended his title against Seth, and he beat Seth – so forget about it. Not just that, but he has a match against Sami Zayn tonight. As for his title, he’s already defending it against Reigns come Roadblock.

Back to his gifts, he’s got some matches for Chris. One is tonight, when Jericho gets a chance against Roman Reigns for the US Title. There’s another match, too. At Roadblock, he’ll get his revenge because it will be Seth vs Jericho. Seth seems happy. Here’s the third gift; another match – and it’s one that Seth will have right now…against

The Big Show!

Match 1: Seth Rollins vs The Big Show

Backstage, Owens is favoring the back of his head. He screams to Foley, asking if he saw what happened. How does Foley expect Owens to compete tonight. If Stephanie was here, this wouldn’t be happening. Steph is not, though, says Foley, because the match is taking place…tonight. Foley walks away.

Further backstage, Chris Jericho is standing, scowling. Owens asks Jericho if he saw what happened. Jericho says he just got there, and didn’t hear about any gifts or what happened to Owens.

Jericho tells Owens that they are not good.

FURTHER backstage, Rusev and Lana are arguing, seemingly. Enzo and Cass are nearby. Enzo says he doesn’t stand fo ra man talking to a woman like that, and he’s gotta go over there. Cass says this is none of their business. Enzo heads over anyway and tells Rusev to calm down. Rusev starts to yell at Enzo. Lana says Enzo is just trying to help. Rusev can’t believe this. She tells Lana that she is pathetic, and that maybe she deserves a pathetic man like Enzo. Rusev is about to walk away. Lana grabs his arm. She asks if Rusev knows what this ring means….Rusev says yes, that she is his wife. She removes the ring, says, “This means you are the only man that can have me,” then tosses it to the chest of Rusev. Rusev walks away.

Enzo tells Cass to head home and keep a plate hot on him. Enzo plays it coo with Lana, wants to ask her a question…”How are you doin.” hahaha

After a commercial break, we go back to the back with Enzo and Lana. Lana says she doesn’t feel Rusev is real, and that he takes her for granted. Enzo says he is no Dr. Phil. Lana says Rusev needs to be taught a lesson. Maybe, if Rusev saw another man appreciating her, he wouldn’t take her for granted.

Cool little recap of Sasha winning the belt last week, complete with Flair coming down at the end.

Backstage, that chick I still don’t know or care for is standing by to interview Sasha Banks. She congratulates her, and asks how it felt defeating Charlotte in her hometown. Sasha says the match took everything out of her. It was a whole other level. She brings up the stipulation (side note: I nearly typed stimulation). Sasha says Charlotte doesn’t deserve to live in Flair’s legacy. Charlotte was crying because the better woman won. She says The Nature Boy deserves better, and as much as she despises Charlotte as a person, she brings something out of Sasha. She can’t wait to do it again. Iron sharpens iron, says Charlotte, and Sasha wants to make history yet again. She challenges Charlotte to an Iron (wo)Man match. There’s only one Iron Woman on RAW, and that woman is Sasha.

Welp.

Cole wants to explain just why Flair came out to congratulate Sasha, in case we all forgot what Flair looks like when he cries.

We get word that Charlotte will make a public apology to Flair tonight.

Recap of Swann’s big win, including the dedication to his mother afterwards.

Backstage, Enzo is all kinds of happy. He sings some R. Kelly and tells Cass that he’s going to the hotel room. Cass calls her trouble. Enzo says he ain’t stupid, he knows she is trouble. Enzo gets a text, it’s Lana. It’s Seth Rollin’s penis.

Just kidding, it’s a selfie from Lana.

Enzo runs off. Rusev comes up, looking for Lana. He runs into Cass, says where is Lana. Cass is about to leave. Rusev grabs Cass by the arm and says not to turn his back on him. Cass thinks Rusev lost his damned mind. Rusev says he’s going to Foley now to ask for a match tonight.

So Cole and Co try and sell the following match as goosebump worth and “never before seen,” and I’m just wondering on a scale of Kevin Thorne to Khali how bad it’s going to be.

Another recap of Charlotte bein a biatch to Flair last May.

We take a break and come back to Cass in the ring, waiting for his match with Rusev. Rusev’s music hits, and as expected, we get no Rusev. Cass is seemingly curious as to why Rusev is not here, then goes through the entire thought process in the ring before realizing that it’s a trap, even going so far as to say to himself, “It’s a trap!”

Cass grabs the timekeeper’s hand and calls Enzo.

We see that Enzo has made it to the hotel and ignores Cass’s call. He is at the door. He knocks, and Lana is there in a red robe. She thanks him for coming. Lana pretends to cry, heads into the hotel, and waits for Enzo to follow her. She then turns and hugs him. She turns him so that he is no longer facing the door. Lana claims to be very comfortable, then offers Enzo a drink. She then drops a napkin and seductively bends over to pick it up. She pours Enzo some champagne, then offers him a strawberry. Enzo chugs his drunk as she nibbles the strawberry. Enzo looks to want to leave, but Lana stops him to read his shirt. She then rips it off and blames Rock and Roll. Lana shows some boobage in a bra, but Enzo tells her to stop. He tells Lana not to keep this up. Lana tells him to take off his pants. Enzo says ok, he’ll do it, but then he’s gotta leave. Enzo removes the pants, and he’s all briefed up. Lana rubs his chest a little, then speaks Russian. She then tells Enzo what it means: “You’re a fool.”

Lana calls for Rusev, and here comes the angry Bulgarian. Enzo says he’s gonna grab his stuff and go, but Rusev tosses him aside and beats his ass on the nearby couch. Rusev sends him into the corner of the room like nothing and continues to beat him down with right hands. Hetosses him into a table and breaks it. Enzo favors the back. Rusev with a kick to the gut. He grabs a lamp and breaks it over Enzo. Rusev pulls back on the face of Enzo then tosses him into the couch. Rusev isn’t done. He grabs Enzo by the beard, lifts him up, and tosses him into the bar. Rusev with a right hand to Enzo, right in the face. Again. Again. Beating him down to the floor. Rusev grabs a vase of flowers, holds Enzo up, and smashes it into the back of Enzo’s head. Rusev isn’t done. He grabs Enzo and drags him out the door and into the hallway, then goes back in the room to smash on the now horny Lana.

Charlotte is walking!!!!

Ok, so when she is done doing that, she makes it to the ring and wants to talk about what she did six months ago. She is ashamed for what she did or said. The crowd WHATs her. She wants to remind us of what a cold hearted bitch of a daughter she was, and shows us the video that we’ve seen three times tonight already, but a bit more at length, and it’s just as bad as I remember.

The live crowd boos Charlotte. She says that last Monday night, when she lost her title, it was hard. The WWE means everything to her, the title means everything to her. Crowd still WHAT-ing her. Know what was harder than losing the title was watching her dad walk to the ring, stand in the ring, put his arms around Sasha Banks, and raise her hand. It was like her dad was saying, “Sasha is the woman. Sasha is the athelete. The competitor I wish my daughter was.” All she’s every wanted was her dad’s approval. For him to be proud of her. Charlotte starts with the fake cries/no tears. Every day, she questions if she is good enough. None of us know what that’s like. When she sat in her hometown, in the audience, and watch her dad raise someone else’s hand, she felt like she failed as a daughter. it broke her heart. She hasn’t seen her dad in six months, and she asked him here to apologize.

Charlotte asks for Flair to come out, and he obliges.

Charlotte looks him in the eyes and apologizes.

They hug. Charlotte releases. Flair then extends his hands for another hug. Charlotte smacks the shit out of him all over again.

She yells that she is his daughter, she is his blood. Who the hell does he think she is? Flair is HER father, and Flair turns his back on her?

Sasha rushes down the ring and attacks, but Charlotte gets the best of her, locking her up in the ropes and driving her boot into the back of her head. Charlotte sends Sasha into the barricade on the outside. Flair watches on in the ring, seemingly sad, in tears. Charlotte grabs Sasha, locks her up in between her legs, sets up for a powerbomb, then launches her over her own head into the ringpost.

Charlotte screams that she is the woman. She’s not done. She turns Sasha on her stomach, and drags Sasha, yelling at Flair that this is pathetic. Charlotte rolls Sasha into the ring. She drops Sasha in front of Flair and calls her Flair’s trophy. Charlotte extends her hands and makes some boo hoo gestures.

End Show.
