411’s LIVE WWE Raw Report 6.15.15
* Welcome.
Money in the Bank has come and gone. More of the same? A sign of change? Maybe both? Who fuckin knows?!
BEWBS!
RAW!
IS!
WARIO!!!!
Seth welcomes us to Monday Night Rollins. He says that week in and week out, he is the best thing about RAW, and he is OUR WWE World Heavyweight Champion! He would like to take a second to acknowledge Ambrose. Ambrose brought the fight like no one before. Ambrose brought his A-Game. We get clips of said A-Game in photos. Rollins claims that the only issue with that, is that as good as Ambrose was, just not as good as him. Rollins took back what was rightfully his. More Pictures! Rollins claims he doesn’t want to brag; he is only one man, and it takes an incredible team of people to make people like Rollins thrive. He wants to thank all the people that got him to the very top of the mountain…oh, look, more pictures!
Rollins wants to take a second to acknowledge all the people that helped him get to where he wanted to be. Rollins has a list. He unfolds a sheet of paper.
“First and foremost, he would really like to thank…Seth Rollins.”
Rollins continues to thank himself a few more times. Who else would he thank? Not Dumb and Dumber J&J, not the Devil’s Favorite Dinosaur. Hell, he didn’t even need Trips and Steph. You know why?! Because that’s how good he is! After last night, he may as well be in the Hall of Fame. Parents everywhere are going to be naming their children after Seth. He tells Cleveland to take a good look at what a World Championship looks like. Ooooo, burn. He shouts out Johnny Football and Lebron. He says this is the only championship they should be celebrating. Mega heat here. He tells them to soak it up because he’s leaving this piece of crap town, and he’s taking the title with him.
Ambrose’s music hits.
Rollins heads out of the ring. Dean meets him near the end of the ramp. THEY FIGHT!! In the ring, and Ambrose attacks! He clotheslines Rollins to the outside. Rollins attacks the knee of Ambrose, but Ambrose hops on the top of the announce table and flies off to Seth. He rolls Seth to the inside of the ring, who then heads back out and scurries up the ramp, removing his shirt real quick to show you what’s up. Ambrose shouts from the ring, fuming with anger. Rollins heads backstage. Ambrose heads outside the ring, grabs a chair and the mic. Is he staging a sit in? Haven’t seen that in a while…
Ambrose says that the title slipped right through Ambrose’s fingers, and while Seth was out here running his mouth, it made him realize how much he enjoyed making Seth’s life a living hell. Ambrose says he’s going to take a seat, and he’s not leaving until Seth comes back out.
-Commercial Break-
We’re back to the show, and Ambrose is conducting his sit in.
Backstage, Triple H is whispering to Steph. Rollins walks in, asks what’s the deal. Trips says it’s taken care of. Rollins says he won fair and square, and that “WE” make the decisions around here. Steph says it appears that Seth doesn’t need them. Seth says he didn’t say that. Trips wonders if Seth is calling Steph a liar. Seth says he doesn’t disrespect, and would never. He was just sticking it to those who didn’t believe. This is what’s best for business, right? Let’s just get rid of Ambrose. Triple H says he and Steph was just discussing what’s next, and who Seth’s next challenger is. It could be anyone, including Dean Ambrose. They’re going to make a decision by the end of the night. Trips says that they trusted Seth to beat Ambrose by himself, and now he can trust them to make the decision by their self. Seth is shut down by Steph, and leaves.
Ambrose is still in the ring.
The pipes hit, and Sheamus is here with a mic and briefcase. Sheamus calls Dean “Dean-o.” He says that they are both alike; they both like to fight and both made bold predictions for MitB. Difference? Sheamus is a winner, Dean is a loser. The briefcase means that he is one brogue kick away from winning the title.
So, apparently, we’re having a match.
Match 1: Sheamus vs Dean Ambrose
Sheamus goes after the leg almost immediately, dropping Dean down to the mat and kicking the back of the knee. Sheamus stomps in the corner. Dean is able to fight out, attacks Sheamus against the ropes, and hits a clothesline. He attacks in the corner, but Sheamus attacks the knee again, and sends Dean to the floor. Sheamus heads to the outside, grabbing Dean’s leg in the process. He drops it on the apron, then drops him with a right hand. Sheamus sends Dean into the steel steps as the ref hits the count of 5. Sheamus rolls Dean into the ring and misses a clothesline. Crossbody from Dean, who then attacks the head with rights. Dean bounces off the turnbuckle, hits an elbow, goes for a Bulldog, but Sheamus with a Brogue Kick that isn’t called as such, sending Dean to the outside.
Back from a commercial break, and Sheamus has a muffler on Ambrose, working the leg yet again. Ambrose gets out, runs to the corner. He lifts a leg, but Sheamus catches. Dean fights back with rights and lefts. He runs, but Sheamus clips the knee. Sheamus goes for the Cloverleaf, but Ambrose kicks Sheamus away. Sheamus runs with an attack, but Ambrose sends him to the outside. Sheamus lands on his feet and heads right nack into the ring, right into a neckbreaker from Ambrose! Ambrose side steps an attack and hits a bulldog out of the corner. Ambrose heads to the top rope. He’s looking to fly, but Sheamus is up and hits an uppercut. Rolling senton from Sheamus! He locks in the Cloverleaf! Ambrose reaches for the ropes. He’s nearly there as Sheamus puts pressure on him. Ambrose makes it to the ropes, “but how much damage is done?” I don’t know, Cole! Geeeeeez. Ambrose is on the apron, struggling to get up, so Sheamus helps him, then proceeds to beat on his chest a few times. Ambrose reverses this somehow and beats down on Sheamus a bit. Sheamus goes for the Brogue, but Ambrose dodges and hangs up Sheamus! Dean heads to the top rope! He hits the elbow from the top rope! Pin for 1….2..NO!!! Sheamus is up and attacks the knee, then hits a running high knee, sending Ambrose into the ropes. Ambrose bounces off and comes back, going for Dirty Deeds! Sheamus rolls out of the ring quickly, grabs his briefcase, then heads up the ramp backwards.
Randy Orton’s music hits, and here’s The Viper! He decides that their work isn’t done, even after the 2,000th match. The distraction of Orton allows Dean to send Sheamus in the ring, duck a Brogue kick, and roll up Sheamus for a pin. 1…2…3!!
Official Result: Dean Ambrose
Oh, nice, a roll-up
Rating: **
I’ll have to go back at a commercial, because I missed the end from Orton showing up till Seth shows up backstage. Let’s just assume we’re getting Orton vs Sheamus version three million.
Backstage, Seth runs into Noble and Mercury. Noble says that he thinks the person who should face Seth for the title is Joey Mercury, since he pinned Seth last week. Seth laughs it off. Mercury claims that Seth is afraid of him. No matter what happens in Seth’s career, the record books will forever show that Seth lost to J&J. Mercury says that it doesn’t become a question of IF Seth is going to lose the title, the question is when.
-Commercial Break-
Back from the break, and R-Truth is here with a bed sheet as a robe and a crown made of paper. So, he’s back to stealing? He heads to the commentary booth to talk about beating Wade Barrett. He says Barrett looks very upset, and he would hate to see his opponent is. JBL tells R-Truth that he is actually in this match…Truth is confused, but eventually drops the headset to head into the ring.
Match 2: R-Truth vs Wade Barrett
Wade with a hard kick to Truth’s face. He attacks with right hands, then gets ready for the Bullhammer. Truth, from behind, rolls up Wade. Pin for 1…2….3!!!
Official Result: Wade Barrett
Rating: NR
Immediately after the pin, Wade hits the Bullhammer anyway then tears up the paper crown and tosses it atop of Truth. Wade grabs a mic and his crown. He says this isn’t a joke. Wade earned the right to be called a King by winning the KotR tournament. He calls it prestigeous, and Truth is just making a mockery of it. Shoot comments?
Backstage, Heath Slater calls Machine Gun Kelly “Shotgun Gordon” hahahaha. Paige interrupts a nothing meeting to ask Emma and Alicia Fox if they’d reply to a text she sends a bit later. Fandango, Ryder, and Summer Rae are there also.
-Commercial Break-
We are back to the show, and it appears that RAW has officially started. Kevin Owens is here with HIS NXT Title. He heads to the ring.
“John Cena is not here tonight.”
Owens says that if we want someone to blame, then look no further than John Cena himself. Owens isn’t denying that he played a part in what happened to John. After all, he did powerbomb him on the edge of the apron, but the truth is that Cena forced him to do that. After the match last night, as they shook hands, Cena said something that was the most disrespectful thing he’s heard in his 15 year career. Cena told Owens, “You belong here. You belong in this ring in front of all these people.” Owens says he knows this, he has known the first second he stepped foot in the ring. He doesn’t need Cena to tell him or endorse him in any way, shape, or form.
People want to talk about Owens being a sore loser, how about Cena being a bad winner? Cena stood there and waited for Owens to shake his hand. That was Cena trying to hog the spotlight, because Cena always has to be the hero. The fact is Cena disrespected Owens, and he did what he had to do. Regardless of what happened last night, Owens still holds a victory over the US Title, and he deserves a rematch. This time, when Owens wins, he wants the US Title.
This is about the time Cena’s music will hit, Cena would head down the ramp, slide in the ring, hold up his title, and issue an open challenge, but since Cena won’t be doing that tonight, Owens will. He’s issuing said challenge right now…
IT’S LANA!!!
Oh, and Ziggler. They smooch. Dolph says that Owens made Dolph’s night. He’s not out here to defend Cena – he never will, but Owens has a lot of guts. Ziggler has scratched and clawed for everything he’s ever got in his business. Want to talk about sacrifice? This city! Apparently, they deserve a championship, and Dolph is going to give them one right now. If Kev wants a challenger, he’s looking at them, brother.
Garcia gets ready to annonuce the match as a title match, but Owens stops her, calling her “blondie.” He says he never put the title on the line. If Dolph wants to go, they can go, but it’ll be non-title.
Match 3: Dolph Ziggler vs Kevin Owens
Ziggler rushes the corner and attacks with rights. Owens stops it and sends Dolph to the outside. which means it’s time for a commercial.
Back from said break, and we’ve got a chinlock on Ziggler. Ziggler turns into it and fights out. Kevin drops him, and hits a splash and a pin for 1…2..NO! Owens stands first and stomps on Ziggler’s abdomen. He gloats to the crowd then sets up for a suplex, dropping Ziggler on the ropes. Owens grabs the head of Ziggler and goes for another suplex to the ropes. He hits it, and Ziggler slinks down to the mat slowly. Pin for 1..2..NO! Owens drives his elbow into the kidney area of Dolph, then hits a headbutt. Stomp from Owens. Owens whips Dolph hard. He calls to Ziggler to show off, then stomps him some more. Owens grabs the head, Ziggler attacks the midsection a few times, then right hands to the head. Whip to the ropes, but Owens holds on. Ziggler runs and both men tumble over the top rope to the outside! Owens with a forearm to Ziggler’s face on the outside. He attacks the back. Ziggler takes a breath, then attacks! It’s shortlived as Owens just grabs Ziggler and tosses him over the barricade into the Time Keeper’s area! Owens rolls back in the ring as the ref counts. He’s at 4 while Dolph attempts to get out of the corner. He struggles, grabbing everything on his way back to the ring. He gets to the apron by 9, and makes it in the ring at 10! Owens goes for another Senton, but Ziggler rolls out of the way! DDT FROM ZIGGLER!!! Owens roll to the outside!
Back from another break, and we’ve got a rest hold. Ziggler fights out, gets sent in the corner, hits a kick, and hits a flurry of punches, until Owens gets the upperhand. Owens goes for a Cannonball, but Ziggler with a SUPERKICK! He falls into a cover for 1…2..NO! Owens and Ziggler struggle to stand. Ziggler up first, he goes for a Fameasser, but Owens sets up for a powerbomb. Ziggler reverses into a pin for but Owens breaks it. FAMEASSER from Ziggler!!! Pin for 1…2…NO!!! Owens is up first, in the corner. Ziggler goes for a splash, misses! Owens with a release GERMAN SUPLEX TO ZIGGLER!! Ziggler backs up in the corner! CANNONBALL!!! Pin for 1…2..NO!! NICE!!! Whip to Ziggler! Pop-Up Powerbomb, but no Ziggler floats over! Ziggler with a ZIG ZAG!!! Pin for 1….2….NO!!!!
Ziggler grabs the head of Owens, and raises him up, but Owens with a kick, another. Whip to the ropes! Pop-up powerbomb! Pin for 1….2…3!!!
Official Result: Kevin Owens
That commercial seemed unnecessary. Great match otherwise.

Backstage, all of the Divas are backstage taking selfies. Paige is holding this meeting, apparently. Layla is wearing the ugliest outfit known to man. Paige declares that the Bellas have done everything they can to make the show about them. Summer Rae brings up Paige losing, and wonders if this is the motivation behind her rallying of the boobs troops. Alicia Fox wonders how they can trust her considering her inability to get along with tag team partners. Yeah….let Alicia make that call.
Paige wants these divas to prove that they are just as strong as the Bellas. Naomi can’t stand the Bella Twins, and she may even agree with her, but Paige must be crazy if she thinks Naomi is going to let her boss her around. Paige calls herself crazy, so crazy that she’s facing The Bellas in a handicap match tonight. Who’s comin with me?! Wyatt Paige wants to know.
Bellas are here, and they claim Nikki won the title and not by accident. She says it’s a free country, twice. So – you know – you get it. She says if they want to side with Paige, then by all means….
Summer Rae is the first to leave, then every other diva bounces. From the left, AJ Lee comes and attacks both Bellas and Paige! She hits the G2S on Nikki! Macho Man Elbow Drop to Brie off a nearby ladder! Ladies and gentlemen, AJ LEE IS BACK!!!
Ok, I wake up, and apparently we’re getting Kane vs Randy Orton instead.
Match 4: Kane vs Randy Orton
Kane hits a low dropkick to the seated Orton, pins for 1….2…NO! Kane with the cravat. Orton tries to fight out of the hold. He’s on one knee, and shows signs of fading. So, too, does an older gentleman in the crowd. Back suplex from Orton. He grabs the leg, and we get a stomp. Another. Orton to the arm, and goes for a knee drop. Kane moves. Sideslam to Orton from Kane. Pin for 1…2..NO! Kane sends orton in the corner and hits a clothesline. He drops Orton to the mat, hits a stomp, then grabs the left arm. Kane lifts Orton, hits a right hand. Orton responds with a right of his own, and an uppercut. He hits the ropes, and runs into a neck grab. Orton off the ropes with a clothesline. He sends Kane in the corner, hits a clothesline, another. He goes for one more, but Kane with an elbow. He misses a clothesline, hits the ropes. Powerslam from Orton. Orton with a kick to Kane, who is hanging over the second rope. Sheamus is here! His music hits, distracting Orton a bit. Kane is on the outside. He’s got a mic, and has decided that the rest of this match is now No Holds Barred – Anything Goes.
So……Orton attacks Sheamus. Kane heads back in the ring. Sheamus with a Brogue Kick! Kane covers. 1….2….3!!!
Official Result: Kane
Rating: *1/2
Sheamus stands above the prone Orton and holds up the briefcase.
We are reminded of Bray Wyatt’s wrongdoings last night, and Reigns wants answers, apparently.
Backstage, Kane walks, breathing heavily. Seth walks up to congratulate Kane on his hard fought victory. Seth says that of all the doubters in the world, Kane may have been his biggest. He says that Seth’s success pains Kane because it reminds Kane of what he USED to be. Kane says that anyone can win one match, but if Seth truly wants to be the man – the future of the WWE – he’s gotta win match after match after match, night after night after night, and it takes an entire team behind Seth to do that. If he doesn’t understand that, Seth isn’t an architect, he’s an idiot. No one can do it on their own. Seth can and will and did this on his own. Someone like Kane wouldn’t understand, because Kane has always had someone holding his hand. He mentions Paul Bearer and Taker, and Kane grabs Seth by the invisible lapels. He says that Seth not to EVER mention his family again. Seth gets back in Kane’s face, saying that he hopes Kane is his next opponent, because Kane is a sad excuse for a human being, and needs to be put out of his misery.
Another Dusty video for us to enjoy.
Back to the show, and Ryback is tableside wearing blue pants, next to JBL. Big Show’s music hits. He’s here with what Ryback calls a “Boo-boo face.”
Match 5: The Miz vs The Big Show
Miz attempts to remove his glasses, but Show charges. Miz heads to the outside to do his pre-match ritual. Show follows, chases Miz around, then Miz stomps. Show no-sells, and Miz heads back to the outside. He pleads with Show, but Show follows and chases him back in the ring. Miz gloats to the crowd. Show tries to get in the ring, but apparently hurt his legs. The ref checks on him, but Show is pullin the leg of Miz. Show attacks, as he’s a phony! A BIG FAT PHONY! Show chops Miz in the corner. Whip to the corner, but Miz kicks out of it. Show grabs the head and sends Miz to the outside. Show heads to the outside and chops Miz again, then grabs Miz and tosses him on top of Ryback, who is seated. Ryback stands and gets in the face of Big Show to talk shit.
The ref is counting. Miz rolls back into the ring as the ref’s count is nearing ten. The ref hits 10, and Show turns around, realizing what happened…
Official Result: The Miz via countout
Oh Show…what a rookie
Rating: *
Show is angry at Miz, standing at the ropes. Ryback is behind him in Kurt Angle gear minus the gold medal, and looks to meathook Show. Show rolls under the ropes to head out.
Reigns takes about 20 words to say he’s pissed off. He’s not waiting till Battleground, and says he wants to throw down right now in “the cube.” He tells Bray to head out right now.
Bray, on the screen. He says two stars will rise. One speaks the truth. The other, lies. Reigns tells Wyatt to shut his mouth and come out now. Wyatt laughs him off. He says hello to Roman, and says his temper is fiery. Reigns wants answers, but he hasn’t the capacity to comprehend their meaning. Oh how quickly we forget. He claims that Reigns was grabbing HIS destiny atop that ladder. Two weeks ago, Reigns stole his opportunity. Wyatt could have changed things – could have been that beacon of hope that this world needs, but Reigns selfishly denied him. Wyatt thinks it’s Reigns ego, the ego that makes him do such crazy things. Reigns reminds Wyatt of someone he knew a long time ago. He, too, was the chosen one, and his people believed that this chosen one would lead them to his salvation. He was chosen while the other was cast aside. Now we know….they made the wrong choice, and if you don’t believe Wyatt, look outside the window and see that all of this is no paradise. Now, it’s quite the opposite. Just like he and Reigns…opposites. Wyatt is the ying to Reigns yang. They balance this whole thing out. Whether Reigns admits it or not, they need each other. That’s how he knew that the true justice – the justice Reigns once fought for – needed to be sought out. Anyone but Reigns. Anyone. Wyatt will haunt and destroy Reigns. Not tonight, though. No. What kind of example would he be setting with Father’s Day right around the corner.
Wyatt has a photo of Reigns and his daughter in his hand. Reigns is having a nice little tea party with his daughter. He tells Reigns “Our fun is just getting started.”
I am notified at this moment that the image they got of Reigns and his “daughter” is from a commercial. Is this true?
Match 6: Paige vs The Bella Twins
Nikki to start. Paige rushes her, so she uses the ropes to prevent it and tags in Brie. Paige rushes again, and Brie wraps herself in the ropes, then tags in Nikki. Nikki comes in for some jumpin jacks, but Paige attacks and hits some rights. Nikki with a shoulder block then gloats. Paige trips up the leg and pins for 1. Paige with a kick. She sends Brie off the apron then sends Nikki over the 2nd rope. Knee raises to Nikki, causing her head to go in circles. Paige screams, and Brie trips her up on the apron.

Work-wise, not all that bad. Story wise…I’m lacking any care.
Rating: *
So…um….Machine Gun Kelly is here.
He cuts a Cena promo before his song, so we got that going for us.
After what seems life forever, Kevin Owens comes out applauding Machine Gun Kelly’s performance. Kelly extends his hand, and this presumably reminds Owens of John Cena’s attempt at a handshake. Owens with a kick!!! YES!!! He grabs the head of MGK! POWERBOMB OFF THE STAGE INTO SOMETHING THAT IS TOTALLY NOT PROTECTED FOR THE FALL!!!!
YES!!!!!
THANK YOU OWENS!
We are back from a commercial break, and Cole and Co are so disgusted by Owens’ actions that they show us another commercial.
Back again, and New Day are here to spread positivity, not being upset in the least about their title loss.

Rating: **
Backstage, Dean Ambrose is playing darts. Rollins’ face is on the board. Kane comes in. Dean laughs his ass of in Kane’s face. Kane is about to say something, but Dean laughs once again. Dean’s laughing at the thought of Kane being champ. Kane says he HAS been champ. Dean says, well it wasn’t really “Kane.” THAT guy, Dean kind of enjoyed. Kane says he’s an executive with a global company. Dean says Kane talks a big game, but in the end, Kane is loyal to The Authority. Kane’s heart is not in this…it’s just a job. This? This is his life; laying it on the line. Dean will not stop until he gets another taste of the title. He needs the title, and will never, ever stop until he gets it. That’s what he lives for. What does Kane live for?
Backstage, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon…..WALK!
They are now in the ring, and Steph wants to apologize to MGK for Owens actions, and he will be disciplined. Tonight, they have the distinction of announcing Seth’s next challenger for the WWE World Title. She guarantees that they’ve made this decison doing what’s best for business. Trips says a lot of superstars feel they deserve a spot at Seth. He assures that it won’t be Mercury or Noble. It won’t be Kane or Ambrose either. Seth asks if not Ambrose, then who.
Seth wants to know, as well. He comes out to his music, all smiles. He seems happy. He heads into the ring, shakes the hand of Triple H and Steph, then grabs a mic. He says it doesn’t matter who they pick, because they’ve been right about him all along. There is no one on the roster capable of taking the title away from Seth. He is every bit as good as they think he is. Trips brings up all those Seth has beaten. Last night at MitB, he did what he said he would, without any help or backup. He beat Ambrose. Triple H says arguably, he never needed anyone’s help in the first place. Steph calls him a very polarizing figure. Without The Authority, some feel he’s ripe for the picking. He’s also tested their patience a fair amount. Because of this, he has a little left to prove.
Triple H says that they have invested everything in him and sometimes you must take a step back and look at the investment, wondering if it’s going to pay off or if it’s nothing but a cost. If you want to know what you have with a lump of coal, you stick it under immense pressure. This does one of two things, causes it to crumble to and turn into dust, or turns into the diamond that you always hoped it could be. The question now is…does Seth crumble, or does he become the diamond? Because Seth…the pressure is on.
…….
Brock Lesnar’s here!!! Seth’s smile drops. He’s got a new shirt, and it’s wonderful. It’s a highway sign that says Suplex City. The back is a yellow caution sign with a stuck figure suplexing another. It also reads “EXIT F5” haha. Nice. Heyman is close behind. Brock stares a hole into Seth as he circles the ring. They finally enter the ring. Heyman shakes the hand of Triple H long enough for us to understand that a deal was made.
Heyman leaves the ring. No talk time from him. The Authority leaves the ring. Brock and Seth are left alone in the ring. SUPLEX CITY chant. Brock gets closer to Seth, smiling. Seth is very frightened. Seth takes a step back. Brock steps forward. Seth steps back again. Brock continues to step forward. Seth leaves the ring.
End Show
