Welcome to 411’s WWE Smackdown Report 11.21.14

* We get highlights from Raw.

* Michael Cole interviewed Triple H in the ring to kick off the show. Cole noted that if Team Authority loses on Sunday that this could be his final interview with Triple H inside a WWE ring. Triple H warned him to watch himself or it would be Cole’s final interview period. Cole discussed the fact that the “WWE Universe” doesn’t like Triple H or Stephanie, but Triple H explained that without the Authority that there is no WWE. And without the WWE there is no WWE universe. Triple H equated the fans to little kids, and that their opinions of the decisions that the Authority make are meaningless. Cole though that was an egotistical statement to make, which led to Triple H discussing becoming the Cerebral Assassin during the Attitude Era, which was the “greatest era in WWE history”. Everyone from the Attitude Era is gone but Triple H remains. He’s the constant, and that’s why the Authority will win on Sunday. When Cole asked about possibly losing on Sunday, Triple H said that Vince McMahon was a great man and that the only people that could follow him and control the WWE were Stephanie and himself. And if they lost, everyone would beg for them to come back within months. Triple H invited Team Cena out to watch the footage of Cena’s interview with Cole this week. Show, Ziggler, Ryback and Rowan all came out to watch. They play part of the interview, where Cena says he knew he was asking the men to take a leap and put their careers on the line. Triple H then revealed that if Team Cena loses, Show, Ziggler, Ryback and Rowan are fired.
