411’s LIVE WWE Raw Report 4.13.15

RAW!
IS!
ACERO!!
(thanks MakinItRainRed)

We start this totally NOT LIVE RAW with pyro and British flags! The cheers have an accent, and Cole is back! We are sold out in London, and I’m not wearing shoes or pants. It’s going to be a good night.

Just as I say that, John Cena’s music hits, and the crowd sings along with “JOHN CENA SUUUCCCCKS!” With ever holding up of the title, the crowd boos hard. JBL asks Cole how he feels, and Cole rightfully puts the product before him, saying we’ll get to that later, since the US Champ is in the ring. We get some photos of London landscapes and the like to stall a bit.

Cena on the mic, and he shows some shock due to the boos, then brushes it off, saying those watching around the world, do not adjust the tv set, London is loud. One Man tries so hard to start a LET’S GO CENA chant. Good effort, brah. Cena brings up some times that Cena and London do not get along, but one cannot deny that there are people all up in the crowd, and that this crowd has more excitement an energy than any audience they perform in front of.

That one trooper of a fan continues to try to start a LET’S GO CENA, but instead the crowd does a YES Chant. Cena gets a pop by saying London deserves Wrestlemania. Another Yes Chant. Cena brings up people waiting, just like Rusev, who wants to wait until Extreme Rules. Cena says we’d rather see a fight, so let’s get down to it. The Open Challenge starts…now.

We’ve got an answer!!

Thank you, Barrett chant! Wade says thanks, but he hasn’t actually done anything yet. Funnily enough, Wade agrees with Cena. Why should we wait? Why should he wait to beat Daniel Bryan for the IC Title when he can just go ahead and beat Cena tonight for the US Title in front of the greatest nation in the world?

Match 1: United States Championship Match
Bad News Barrett vs John Cena

We start off with a test of – nope! Side headlock from Cena. He tightens it as the crowd tells him how much he sucks. It’s a lot. Wade shoves him to the ropes, but Cena hits a shoulder tackle. Pin for 1. NOPE. Cena with a side headlock one more time. Cena backs Wade in the ropes, whips him, and Barrett hits a kick, sending Cena out of the ring. The crowd is loving Barrett, and Cena looks all kinds of sad. Cena heads back into the ring slowly. He circles, go-behind into a side headlock takedown. Wade stands out of it and hits some right hands. Cena with a right of his own. He hits the ropes. Big Boot from Barrett! Pin for 1…2..NO! Wade with a right hand to Cena. Another. One more is missed, and Cena with ANOTHER shoulder tackle. He goes for one more, but Barrett ducks out of the way. Barrett with hard knees against the ropes to Cena. Wade backs up after 8 knees and hits a hard boot to Cena! The crowd is LOVING Wade.

Wade on the apron, goes all Cactus Jack on us, BANG BANG, and drops an elbow onto Cena outside of the ring!!! Wade rolls Cena back in the ring and covers for 1…2..NO! Wade with a missed corner splash. DROPKICK from Cena! Cena goes up top. He flies! Crossbody! Pin for 1..2..NO! Cena with a protobomb!! He wants the Five Knuckle Shuffle, but Wade rolls out of the ring. Cena slides out, grabs Wade, and gets hit in the gut for his troubles. Wade whips Cena into the steps shoulder first. He lifts Cena then tosses him in the ring. Wade covers. 1…2…NO! Wade with a stomp. He hits the corner, gets on the 2nd rope. ELBOW DROP IS MISSED!! Cena with another Protobomb! Five Knuckle is hit! He sets up for the AA! Barrett hops off. WINDS OF CHANGE!! Pin for 1…2..NO!! Cena fights his way back standing. Right hands to the gut, then he runs into an elbow in the corner. Wade sets up for a tornado DDT, but instead hits a nice suplex! That was sweet! Covers for 1…NO! STF from Cena!!! He locks it in, but Barrett grabs the ropes. The hold is broken. Booker T makes a pun about being close to the ropes as “handy” but doesn’t realize it. Barrett with a hard kick to the face of Cena. Pin for 1…2..NO!

Cena and Wade do the BOO/YAY back and forth. Wade gets the upperhand, sends Cena in the corner, Cena hops up and locks the legs around Wade’s head, only for Wade to send him up and hit a kick! WASTE LAND! Pin for 1…2..NO!!! Wade stands. He holds his arm up. He’s ready for the Bull Hammer! Cena is slow to stand. Wade goes for it! Cena runs! AA!!! Pin! 1…2……NO!!!!! Wade kicks out of the AA!!! Cena isn’t done. He goes for the AA again! Wade hops off! He sends Cena to the ropes.

BULLHAMMER!!! Pin for 1…2…NO!!! Barrett is up first. He wants another! Cena ducks it! He hits the ropes! Springboard Stunner! AA! Pin for 1…2…3!!!!!
Official Result: John Cena
I like the matches, I like the idea, but something is missing, and I’m not sure what…
Rating: ***

After the match, Rusev’s music hits, and the wonderful Lana heads out solo. She tells Cena that he disparges Rusev for waiting to get his rematch, but by waiting—-

Ah, ya see, it was all a RUSE(v). Lana says that the match at Extreme Rules will be a Russian Chain Match.

You see, Russian Chains are made from the East Side of the Iron Curtain, which makes them only destructable by an American who breaks down walls…

JBL brings up Cole’s lawsuit against Brock. Cole says it’s a private matter, and points back to Cena who is recovering from the blind side attack.

We’re taken back to last week where Big Show knocked out Roman Reigns hard and the following win from Orton allowing him to face Seth Rollins. Per the DOO, both Orton and Rollins will be in action, and whoever wins their match will choose the stipulation. If both men win? Well, don’t ask, because that’s not part of the plan.

Randy Orton vs Cesaro
Seth Rollins vs Dolph Ziggler

Nattie is a face this week, signing autographs rampside.

Match 2: Divas Battle Royal
Entrants: Paige, Naomi, Natalya, Cameron, Alicia Fox, Emma, Summer Rae, Rosa Mendes

Girls start goin all crazy attacking each other, while Nikki says she’d want to face Rosa Mendes at Extreme Rules, then laughs it off as a complete joke. Nattie knocks Summer Rae down with a clothesline on the apron, then goes to attack, only for Rosa Mendes to knock both of them off. Emma clotheslines Rosa Mendes then hits a sliding dropkick to Rosa, sending her to the outside. Emma attacks Alicia only for Alicia to eliminate her after a pretty nifty flip kick.

Naomi then attacks Alicia. Alicia with a scissors kick. Nikki is annoying. Alicia and Cameron attack Paige while Naomi struggles to get up. CAmeron and Alicia attempt to eliminate Paige but she prevents it. They continue to attack Paige. Cameron hits a horrifying kick to Paige. They try again to eliminate Paige, but can’t. Paige struggles, slides back in the ring. Naomi with a Rear View to Cameron and Alicia. Cameron eliminated by Naomi. Paige eliminates Alicia.

It’s Paige and Naomi. Paige lifts Naomi and looks to send her over, but Naomi stops, whips, reverse, goes for a leg scissors, ut Paige lands Naomi on the apron. Naomi with a headlock, dragging Paige down to the apron. Naomi tries to send Paige o the outside with some kicks. Paige with a kick to stay in. Paige on the paron. She lays in with some knees. Paige screams, so Naomi hits a high kick. They struggle against the ropes for a bit, but Paige grabs the leg and heads back in the ring. Enziguri from Naomi.

Whip to Paige, misses the Rear View. Kick from Paige to the face! Another to the gut, sending Naomi down to the mat out of the ring and winning.
Official Result: Paige
I miss AJ…
Rating: -*

What did AJ think of this match?

To give a more astute example of Nikki on commentary….

We’re back to the show, and Paige is in the middle of the ring with Byron Saxton. He congratulates her, wants to know what’s going through her mind. She says she won the Divas Championship on her first day in the WWE. Two weeks ago, she teamed up with AJ to win her first ever Wrestlemania. Nothing, however, feels better than to walk in her home country to win the battle royal. This is where she started – in carnivals and high school gyms, getting paid five pounds for a match just to make it here. So to be on the biggest stage of them all, in front of her dad and brothers, and the best friends in the world, she’s got one thing to say; This is HER house.

Saxton wants to know if Paige has anything to say to Nikki Bella. Paige is about to, but Naomi flies out of nowhere to attack Paige!!! She sends Paige outside and tosses her into the barricade! Again! One more time! WORLD STAAARRRRR!!!!!

Naomi send Paige one last time into the barricade, back first. Naomi questions the notion that this is, in fact, Paige’s house. Naomi lifts Paige up, gives her a hard slap, then heads to the back.

Bray Wyatt is here. Someone assumes so much it becomes an obsession, a sin. Love can be blinding, it could cloud your judgment. Love can consume your well being and cost you everything you worked so hard for. You, you’re in luck friend. Bray has decided to reach deep inside of you and rip out that love like a cancer, and he will replace it with fear. Fear is much stronger than any love could ever be. Sooner or later, you’re just going to have to watch everything you love fade away, and what will you do when that one thing that you love so much, that one thing you cannot live without with, is taken from you? Bray’s doing you a favor, so pay close attention. He’s talking to you. Behold the new face of Fear.

Match 3: Lucha Dragons vs The Ascension
First moments are missed, but I get back with Conor getting a pin for 1. Tag to Victor who sends Sin Cara into the corner and hits an elbow. ANother attempt is thwarted as Sin Cara hops over and goes for a pin. He’s unable to get it and kicks Victor into the corner. Tag from Conor, who tries to attack Kalisto, but he’s too fast! Dropkick frim Sin Cara! Tag to Kalisto! Tag to Victor! He flies off with a cross body, rolls into a kick. Hits the ropes! Headscissors head slam! Pin for 1…2.>NO! Conor breaks it up! Kalisto with a kick sending Conor to the outside!!! He hits a spinning elbow off the rope to Victor!

Sin Cara flies out of the ring into Conor and gets a tag! Salida Del Sol to Victor! Senton from Sin Cara! Pin for 1…2…3!!
Official Result: Lucha Dragons
The Luchas are picking up steam. Can’t wait for them to be given more time.
Rating: 1/2*

You guys see the new Finn Balor shirt?

Booker T is the guy to interview Roman….

Ok.

He makes it down to the ring, and Booker wants to know his mental state. Reigns says he is mentally strong for a reason.SUPLEX CITY Chant. Reigns says, yeah he went there. And he woke up the next day. As long as he wakes up, he can handle anything. They didn’t lie though, they told us there was going to be a fight. Do we like brutal fights? He also told the world he was going to do a couple of things; he was going to hit the beast in the mouth and make him taste his own blood. Reigns made Brock look different, and he also told the world that he could win – h could beat him. He had more fight in him, more punches to throw. Bottom line? Seth came out and did what he was supposed to do. He took Reigns’ moment. When it comes to Rollins, he can beat Rollins. He has. So that means he will become WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Booker brings up The Big Show preventing Reigns from facing Rollins at Extreme Rules. THANK YOU BIG SHOW chant. haha. Reigns wishes he could give Big Show props, but he can’t. Lately, he’s just Seth’s giant bitch.

Big Show appears on the tron, and wants to cut Reigns off before he says something dumb. He says don’t try to take away from the fact that at Mania, Reigns failed and a lot of people are happy about it, including Big Show. While Reigns was losing the biggest match of his life, Big Show won the batle royal, making him the greatest giant in history. Reigns….Reigns is a bum. His potential that never will be. Show can do what he wants when he wants, regardless if orders are given or he’s making orders himself. His goal, his pleasure, his mission, is going to be making Reigns the most epic failure in WWE History. When Show is done with Reigns, he’ll never even get a chance to smell the WWE Champioship. Last week, Reigns was knocked out. Every time Reigns tries to get up, Show will be there waiting and is going to knock him down.

Reigns calls Show out on being all the way in the back. There are two types of superstars; guys that come out every week and fight and prove themselves, then guys like that (points at Show). Reigns says Show is either too lazy or doesn’t have balls to say this to his face. Reigns hasn’t forgotten Show screwing him. Reigns says if Show continues to stick his nose in his business, he’s going to take his trophy and shove it down Show’s throat, and we can believe…..

*waits for crowd participation*

……

That.

Cole and Co talk a bit about what just transpired as Reigns makes it up the ramp. He is stopped by an attack from Big Show! He tosses Reigns into the LED board. Show tosses Reigns headfirst into a nearby taxi. Show attacks Reigns once again, then grabs his head and tosses him atop the car. Show climbs the car, and he reminds me of a kid at a mall playground. Show with the goozle. He’s atop the cam now! CHOKESLAM to the hood of the car! Five people chant Holy Shit.

Match 4: Randy Orton vs Cesaro
Lockup to start. Orton turns Cesaro into the corner. Ref breaks the hold. Side headlock from Orton. Cesaro tries to leverage out. Hits the ropes. Orton holds on, and we’ve got a stalemate. Cesaro goes for the legs, then the midsecion, gets Orton in the corner. Kick to Orton. Uppercut. Another. One more. Ref stops Cesaro, so Orton hits a kick then a few uppercuts to Cesaro as well. Cesaro hits the ropes then a hard shoulder and just hops up and lands on Orton’s chest. Cesaro with a cravat from behind. Both men up. Cesaro runs, hops on the apron. Orton foes for the DDT, but Cesaro gets out. Orton ends up on the apron. Tyson Kidd pulls the leg of Orton and Orton hits the apron.

Clothesline to Kidd for his trouble, and we get a bell ring. DQ Win for Orton…
Official Result: Randy Orton via DQ
Is everyone jet lagged or something…?
Rating: *

Kane is here. He says not to celebrate quite yet. The Authority is no longer on vacation, but they are not here in London. As DOO, he is fair and impartial to each and every employee, but with the stipulation on the line, he cannot allow this match to end in a DQ. Since Orton clearly want some retribution against Kidd, Kane orders this match to restart as a 2-on-1 Handicap match right now.

Match 5: Randy Orton vs Cesaro and Tyson Kidd
Orton turns, and Cesaro heads in the ring to attack. Orton holds his own until Kidd clips the knee. Stomps into the corner from both of them. The ref regains control as we go to break, and it looks like Kidd and Orton will start.

We’re back after a commercial break, and Kidd has a boot to Orton. Every time the ref holds him back, Cesaro does the same. Tag to Cesaro. Cesaro in here with an eblwo, but Orton hits an elbow to Kidd. There’s a tag to Kidd, but it looks like Orton didn’t notice it, as he tries for the DDT on the apron. Kidd in with a neckbreaker! He looks for a Sharpshooter but Orton tosses Tyson into the corner. Tag from Cesaro, who comes in with an uppercut after Tyson flapjacks Orton! Cesaro with a few hard rights. Tag to Kidd and he hops over the ropes with a rollup to Orton. Pin for 1…2..NO! Tyson goes for a shoulder block on the apron, but Orton side steps, hits a kic, and gets the rope-assisted DDT. Orton hears los voices. He is about to go for it, but Cesaro pulls KIdd out of the ring. Orton rolls to the oitse and hits a back suplex to Cesaro on the apron, but Kidd is on the apron, and runs with a knee to the face of Orton! Kidd rolls Orton in the ring. Kidd with a springboard elbow. Beautiful! Pin for 1..2…NO! Kidd with a boot to the back of the head on the ropes. Kidd hops over and goes for a leg drop, but he misses! Orton stands up!

Cesaro runs in the ring. POWERSLAM!!! Tyson Kidd with a springboard, but no!! RKO OUT OF NOWHERE!!! Pin for 1…2….3!!!
Official Result: Randy Orton
YOUR Tag Team Champions….
Rating: *1/2

Backstage, Seth is talking to Kane, asking if he has anymore brilliant ideas. Kane does, though. Kane says if Seth wins, then both he and Orton can pick a stipulation. Seth decides that tonight, he will not be facing Dolph Ziggler. No, he’ll be facing Jamie Noble, and Noble will lie down for Seth. No offense, says Noble, but why should he have to lie down for him when it was Kane that made the triple threat, and Kane who gave Orton the option to pick the stipulation tonight.

Kane says he has another idea, one that involves a car battery and Jamie’s testicles.

Seth says this is all Kane’s fault, though. Kane says he’ll be out there to watch Seth’s back, and protect him. But is Seth really afraid of Dolph Ziggler? Seth says no, but they can’t take any chances – Seth must win. So as the DOO, Kane needs to change his opponent. Seth should be facing someone who knows what it takes to get the job done, someone who knows what’s Best for Business. Kane thinks Seth is implying Kane. Is that so?

Seth isn’t implying anything. All he’s sayin is his #1 priority is to protect Seth and his title, just like The Authority, so if that’s what needs to be done then maybe Kane is the man for the job, or they can just call Triple H. Kane walks away scowling. Seth tells J&J Kane has no choice.

Over at ringside, there’s a hint of Authority showing…

Match 6: Dean Ambrose vs Adam Rose
Ambrose right out the gate with an attack in the corner. Chops to Rose. Rose misses a clothesline but hits a spinebuster and a pin for 1. NO! Right hands to the chest of Ambrose, who is laid out on the ground. Fist drop to Ambrose. Cravat from behind to Dean. Ambrose is able to get out, goes for a headbutt. Running bulldog from Adam Rose. Ambrose gets up top, he looks to fly, but Adam rolls out of the ring. Ambrose decides to hit the ropes, and we get a suicide dive to Adam Rose! He sends Rose back into the ring, and is met with a kick!

Rose sends Ambrose into the ropes, he comes back with a clothesline! Dirty Deeds! Pin for 1…2..3!!
Official Result: Dean Ambrose
We’re just phoning it in at this point, ain’t we?
Rating: NR

Backstage, Kane is on the phone. It’s a short conversation. Big Show is here. He brings up Survivor Series. Big show knocked out Cena. He didn’t do it because he didn’t like Cena, he did it to be a part of the winning team. He and Kane made a commitment to Steph and H. They live by Best for Business, and they both know that Seth losing tonight is going to put him at a disadvantage. Orton as the Champ is NOT what’s best for business. Show feels for Kane. They don’t always get to do what they want to do, but they do what they need to. Show tells Kane to do what needs to be done.

-Yawn-

Kane says tonight it’s Seth Rollins vs Kane, and he will do what’s best for business.

Match 7: Stardust vs Fandango
Cody starts wit the rights. Fandango blocks one and hits one of his own. Cody hits an elbow off the ropes, sending Fandango to the mat. Fandango with a front suplex. Stardust grabs Fandango, tosses him into the corner, then runs for a…well, I don’t know, because he gets hit with a spinning Heel Kick. Fandango goes up top. He wants the leg drop, but Stardust is up!

Fandango lands on his feet, only to be met with the Beautiful Disaster.
Official Result: Stardust
Thanks for changing, Rosa…
Rating: NR

Fandango is in the middle of the ring with a mic. He says he finally realizes what the problem is. He’s been sharing his gift of dance with you (apparently Rosa), but he should be sharing it with the entire world. Fandango, on the announce table, and the entire crowd sings along with him as he dances across the barricade. So, apparently, Fandango has dumped Rosa, and is now a JBL Hat-wearing face.

We’re backstage with Kane, again, and Daniel Bryan is here. Kane sends him away with a please, and Bryan calls him out on saying please. What happened to him? Oh, Bryan gets it, Kane is going to go out there and lay down for Seth. Large DB chant. Bryan says the Kane he knew would go out there and Tombstone Seth on those steel steps and damned near end his career. Bryan would insult Kane if he felt it would make a difference. He’s not even angry, he just feels sorry for Kane. Kane shouts for Bryan to leave. Bryan tells Kane not to be a stooge, be a man.

Match 8: Kane vs Seth Rollins
Bell rings, and we’re off. Kane removes his jacket. Seth says Kane doesn’t need to remove his jacket or all that, man. It’s not that serious. Kane removes the tie and shirt now. Kane gets in the face of Seth. Seth tells him to lay down and let’s get this over with. Kane rolls his eyes then drops to a knee. Kane then lays down. Seth with the cover. 1…2..NO! Kane kicks out! Kane stands and turns as J&J enter the ring to plead with Kane. Kane sets up for a double chokeslam but shoves J&J out instead. Seth starts to yell at Kane so much until Kane turns and hits a right hand. Kane calls for a chokeslam. Seth yells for Kane to think about his job. Kane drops his arm. Seth stands, smiling. He tells Kane to lay down. Seth now screams. Kane drops to a knee again. Seth says this is HIS WWE. Kane reaches up! Chokeslam to Rollins!!!! Kane calls for it!!!! The neck-slice!!! Ah, but he’s conflicted! So so conflicted!

Kane kicks the arm of Seth then lays down and covers himself with Kane like a weird lover. Pin for 1…2…3!!!
Official Result: Seth Rollins
Well then…
Rating: NR

We will find out what type of match Orton and Rollins will have tonight.

Guys! Guys! Guys!

Match 9: The Miz vs Damien Sandow (w/ Summer Rae)
While Sandow attempts to remove his jacket better than Miz, Miz attacks and beats Sandow down. We get a kick to the face. Miz hits a right hand to Mizdow as Summer Rae starts a Let’s Go Mizdow chant (so she’s a face, now, too?)

Sandow with the neckbreaker/backbreaker combo. Sandow attempts the Skull Crushing Finale, but Miz escapes and hangs him up on the ropes.

Sandow with a roll-up. He holds the tights. 1…2….3!!!
Official Result: Damien Sandow
They really killed the steam in all this, didn’t they?
Rating: NR

Good news! Prime Time Players are here! They bring up The Bad Day and the Detention, but tonight they have something special…they are Los Matadores. *cricket chirps*. They forgot something. Enter red curtain, and here’s El Torito in the form of a rainbow-colored teddy bear. Darren Young calls Rainbow his favorite color…haha. They should be called Lost Matadores because they lost their pride, their dignity, and their minds – even their culture! “Please don’t tell them we’re Puerto Rican…”! hahaha

Who ever heard of a Puerto Rican Bull Fighter anyway?! I’ll wait….

Match 10: Ryback vs Luke Harper
Lockup is short lived as Ryback in the corner. Ryback beats down on Harper. Rope work and Harper just hits a hard superkick to Ryback!! Pin for 1…2..NO! Nice. Harper rises and grabs Ryback. Gator Roll. Both men are up again, Ryback with a spinebuster! Harper sends Ryback to the outside then attacks him on the outside, calling for the DQ.


Official Result: Ryback by DQ

Ambrose is here! He runs down the ramp! Lou Thesz! He beats down on Harper. He locks the head, but Harper is able to escape the battle of grey tanktops!

Cole encourages us to go to WWE.com for further updates on Paige. Naomi is backstage with Saxton. He wants to know what motivated her to attack Paige. Naomi says she feels really disappointed in herself for losing her cool.

-insert heel laugh-

She could care less (couldn’t?). Naomi says this isn’t about Paige of the country they are in. This is about Naomi. That’s all. She wants to know who the Divas Champ is? Nikki Bella, the Diva she beat twice. So why was there a Divas Battle Royal tonight? Right. It blows her mind. Do wins and losses mean anything around here? She was on the same season of NXT as AJ. AJ is gone, and girl after girl has had their opportunity. Everyone is called AJ a legend since she is retired. Are you kidding me? Naomi thinks people have taken her kindness for weakness for way too long, and she’s not asking for a chance anymore…she’s taking it.

Here comes the 11th match on the show….11th, right?

So, Ziggler brings up Kane. He says if Kane thinks laying down for Rollins is best for business, he may want to think of changing his name to the Devil’s Favorite Dumb Ass. Ziggler lives for this, and now he wants to issue an open challenge. Any superstar who wants to go toe to toe with the best there is, then come on out…

Match 11: Dolph Ziggler vs Neville
They circle the ring. Lockup, and Dolph works the arm. He twists until Neville spins out of it and drags Dolph down. Neville works the arm this time. Dolph tries to break out, does, and hits a dropkick to Neville! Dolph works the left arm again, brings it down towards the mat. Dolph with the headlock. Whip to the corner. Neville hops over, flips all the way over to the other side, and hits Dolph with a kick! Standing shooting Star! Pin for 1…2..NO! Cole calls it a moonsault. Dummy. Dolph turns into a hold, hits the ropes, but Neville flies under. Dolph grabs the head midflight! Stalls! DDT!!!!! SWEEEEEET! Pin for 1…2…NO!

Back, after a break, and Dolph has a headlock on Neville. Neville turns into it and hits a right then sends Dolph into the ropes. Dolph flies back and Neville lifts and lets him drop! Clothesline sends Dolph to the outside! Neville on the apron! He hops up and backflips off the top rope onto Dolph! Beautiful moonsault! Neville slides back in the ring and awaits Dolph. He reconsiders, and heads to the outside. He walks across the barricade! He runs and hits the fucking 450 from the barricade!!!! Son of a bitch. Neville rolls Dolph back in the ring. Pin for 1…2…NO! Neville calls for the end. He waits for Ziggler, then grabs from behind. Dolph with elbows, goes for a German, but Neville lands on his feet! Kick to Ziggler! Neville hits the ropes! SUPERKICK from DOLPH!! Pin for 1…2..NO!!! Neville with a duck in the corner, and Dolph hits the corner.

Neville gets Dolph in position for the Red Arrow! Dolph moves! Neville lands on his feet! Ziggler sends Neville into the corner! ZIG ZAG from Ziggler! Pin for 1…2…3!!!
Official Result: Dolph Ziggler
It only took 2 and a half hours, but we got ourselves a wrasslin show!!
Rating: ***1/2

After the match, Sheamus enters the ring and attacks Ziggler! to Ziggler! Brogue Kick for Neville!!! Sheamus attempts to attack Ziggler, but Ziggler escapes and attacks Sheamus!! Ziggler on the announce table! He flies off with an elbow and lays in on Sheamus!! Right hands over and over, until Sheamus grabs Ziggler by the head and shoves him into the ring post! BROGUE KICK TO Ziggler!!! Sheamus stands atop the announce table and taunts the crowd.

Sheamus stands over Ziggler, towering, as the ref screams at him to head to the back.

I want to take the time to let everyone know that most of these gifs come directly from the wonderful Wrassling Monkey and his site Wrestling With Text. Please check him out, and make sure ya tell him Tony sent you!

It’s Decision Time, Lebron Fans!

There are two seats on either side of a reclining chair in the middle of the ring, and Seth and J&J take the time to relax a bit. Seth brings up beating both Reigns and Lesnar in te same night. J&J applaud him very happily. Seth has a newsflash for anyone that thinks what Kane did tonight made him any less of a man. A real man knows when to put the team before himself, and that’s what Kane did. Before of Seth’s hard-earned victory over Kane, he gets to pick the stipulation for his match at Extreme Rules, and Seth has a doozy for Orton. He invites Orton out to deliver the news to his face.

Orton makes his way out, seems a bit impressed by the setup. Orton wants to know why Seth overcomplicates things? How about they clear the furniture, and just fight right here and now? Seth says that simple is boring, and complicated creates opportunities – which is where he thrives, and this is why his stipulation is….to BAN THE RKO!!!

Orton brings up Seth’s greatest arsenal – the connection with The Authority. What if The Authority couldnt help Seth, though? What if the match was…

IN A STEEL CAGE?!?!

EXTREME~~~!!
