411’s WWE RAW Report 2.22.16
From Fastlane to a slow crawl, let’s hope tonight’s RAW is everything we’ve ever dreamed of. Speaking of crawl…
RAW!
IS!
CUTTING EDGE!
Recap of Roman Reigns pointing at the Wrestlemania sign.
Breaking news, according to Cole, and we get a video posted to Facebook from Earlier today.
Ambrose has been taken to a “nearby medical facility.”
We switch gears to the man in the suit, Vince McMahon. Dude looks killer in a dark colors.
The award we’ve been hearing about since last week is in the middle of the ring. It looks like a small piece of The Fortress of Solitude. The Legacy of Excellence Award sits atop a black sheet as Vince grabs a mic. He says it’ll be a night we’ll never, ever forget. Tonight, he will present the first ever Vincent J. McMahon award. He tells the crowd not to WHAT the award, because it’s too special.
For over 100 years, McMahons have been presenting sports entertainment. From his great grandfather in 1914 to his dad who was inducted into the Madison Square Garden in 1984. His dad was a very cunning yet kind person. He had a really warm heart and a generous person, so the person they honor tonight has those qualities. A truly, warm, good-hearted soul. Vince introduces:
Vince says there is no one in the world that deserves this award as much as Steph. He is so proud of her. She was born into the business, and exemplify all of the attributes of his father. The crowd is booing so hard.
Steph fake cries, and gets the Vickie Guerrero boos. Steph says she didn’t expect to win, but prepared something just in case. Before she says anything, she wants to acknowledge her husband.
HOLY SHIT!!!!!
SHANE O MAC IS HERE!!!! He does the money shimmy!!! Shane O Mac heads to the ring. Steph and Vince are shocked.
He’s still got the moves!!!
THIS IS AWESOME chant. Shane is nearly crying.
We finally get to them talking, and Vince says they should do this in the back. Shane says that even when he was a child, Vince said they always wanted to do things in the ring, so they’re doing this tonight.
Steph says this is her moment, this is her legacy,
Shane says she hasn’t earned it.
She says it’s real convenient for him to watch from home, but she and HHH have been running this show whether people appreciate it or not.
Before he addresses this – says Shane – he turns to his father and says “She doesn’t know, does she?”
Uh oh….
Shane then says that her and her husband have been really…running this company into the ground. Let’s take a few indicators. Stock, ratings, plethora of talent injuries all over Steph’s watch….great job.
Steph gets super evil, says Shane is nothing more than a quitter, and tells Shane to get the hell out of her ring.
Shane says that it’s her father’s ring, #1, and – let him explain something. Vince says it’s not the time or place. Shane says it’s definitely the time and place.
Shane explains that several years ago, Vince messed up big time. Hugely. Who was there to save the day? Shane. Vince and Shane cut themselves a little deal. In that deal, Shane was able to do lots of things that he wanted to do – take some time off, build businesses, but he never lost his place in line. The reason Steph has been able to climb so high is because he has let it happen.
Steph doesn’t believe in it, asks Vince what’s the truth. Vince says that he wants to have a word with Shane real quick. Steph says this is insane. They have Wrestlemania coming up. Steph says she’ll get him a ticket, not ringside, but she’ll do her best.
Vince tells Steph that they’ll talk later. He’s got to have a word with Shane later. He’ll present the award to her backstage. She asks if it’s true. Vince finally confesses that there is some truth to it. Shane says it’s all true. At the time, it was “best for business.”
Steph says she will never forgive Shane for this.
Steph heads out, and Vince wants to know what this is all about. Vince has his checkbook, and he wants to know Shane’s price. Shane says this isn’t about money; it was never about money. He left a lot of money on the table just to get out from underneath Vince. He has finally realized, however, that he is not beholden to Vince anymore. What this is about is legacy. Vince’s GRANDFATHER, His father, Vince being third and he being fourth generation, GROOMING the fifth generation. He wants this business to be on for the sixth and the seventh, and the way it’s heading….
Vince asks what Shane really wants then, if it’s not about the money.
Shane says it’s simple….he wants control of Monday Night RAW.
Vince says things have changed, it’s a public company, he can’t just step right in and pick up where he left off.
Shane says he is here for generational growth. Vince claims Shane is here to embarrass Vince and Stephanie, and we people want Shane to run RAw? We have no idea what we’re asking for.
Vince will make a deal with Shane. He’ll give Shane what he wants as long as he has one match one night. If Shane wins, he gets his wish. If he doesn’t win, then Vince gets the key to a lockbox that Shane possesses. How about it, “Shane-O?”
Shane says he’s down! Good lord, I don’t want to get too anxious, but this would be the perfect opportunity for a creative alteration drastic enough for a positive outcome!
Vince calls this one last opportunity to watch Tony Acero be with AJ Lee. Or something like that…
Shane says he remembers the beatings very vividly, but all they ever did was just make him stronger. Vince wants to know how strong is he, because his place and opponent will be almost as big as his ego. The place and time is……Wrestlemania, and the opponent…..
The Undertaker.
Also, it will be Hell in a Cell. Welcome back, Shane-O.

Rating: ***1/2
Backstage, Roman is playing Plants vs Zombies 2. JoJo wants to know if Roman has an update on Ambrose. He says he’s called the hospital, and all he knows is that Dean went through a window. JoJo asks about his win. Reigns says this is what he’s been waiting for. No family business, no more corporate tricks. Just Reigns and HHH in the ring in front of the whole world. It’s going to come down to the fist and the heart. Reigns likes his odds. Nice of him to be able to transition from Ambrose to himself.
Heyman and Brock are here, and Heyman wants to inform us that THIS is the main event of the evening. Of course, Brock is not in his wrestling gear, but every single segment that involves Brock is the main event. Brock is the biggest box office attraction in sports entertainment or MMA. oOooooOooooO. Last night, Brock took both Dean and Roman to Suplex City. Then, he locked the kimura on Reigns. He was only seconds away from tapping out. Just as Reigns was going to tap out, along comes Dean Ambrose. Ambrose takes a competitive triple threat wrestling match and turns it into a street fight. He takes Brock out of the equation for the main event of Wrestlemania. This pissed off Brock Lesnar. Then Dean takes himself out of the equation – he’s so out of his mind. Today, as soon as Ambrose arrived, Brock got his revenge. Since Brock is out of the main event, then Dean Ambrose will be out of Mania all together.
Heyman shows the footage we’ve seen three times now in less than an hour.
There is on shield that can protect Dean Ambrose from the wrath of Brock Lesnar. Lesnar deserves the main event, but moreso…Brock IS the main event. Triple H may think that he is the main event, but Brock Lesnar is on the card. Reigns? Ha! Brock is on the card. Allllll because of this Dean Ambrose. He does all of these little things until the reality of a semi hops up on the sidewalk and runs their asses over. Heyman knocks the mic out of his hand to show more character, knocking his mic out in the process. ECW chant. Now if we think that Heyman is in this destructive of a mood, how destructive do we think Brock Lesnar is?
Brock needs a new opponent, so this is fair warning to any member in the locker room that wants to step up; Go to the hospital tonight and visit the barely breathing Dean Ambrose and ask what happens when you earn the wrath of Brock Lesnar. There’s an F5 that will tear through the entire locker room all the way to Mania, and it will have no mercy. So sayeth the main event of Wrestlemania, Brock Lesnar.
Brock is about to head out of the ring, but the tron shows backstage where a door is rolling up. A horn is honking and an ambulance truck is here. It drives in, knocking shit out of the way in the process. Sirens blare, and Scott Steiner appears.
We get the camera focused on Brock Lesnar for far too long. Finally, it appears the ambulance is heading out stage right. Stage left? Fuck, I don’t know.
So, Ambrose is driving the ambulance, with a neckbrace on. He heads out of the door, removes the brace, struggles to find his footing. Dean crawls down the ramp towards Brock. I mean, I get it…but meh.
Dean makes it to the bottom, where Brock is waiting. He steps right over Dean like he’s trash, and heads back up the ramp.
Ambrose has a mic. He screams at Brock, tells him to kiss his ass, and says he is indestructible, and Brock will find out the hard way. Ambrose wants Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania. No Holds Barred. Street Fight.
Brock heads down the ramp, lifts Ambrose like nothing. F5!!!!
Crowd: “One more time!”
Heyman grabs the mic, “My client….accepts your challenge.”
Well….shit.
Before the upcoming match, The Dudley Boyz come to the stage. Bubba wants to be the first to welcome them back, and says about what happened a couple of weeks ago, do not take it personal. The Dudleyz just needed to remind the entire WWE Universe that The Dudley Boyz are not one trick ponies. They are not a nostalgia act. are the most decorated tag team in the history of the WWE. They are the 9 time WWE Tag Team Champions. They’re legacy will not be defined by a piece of furniture, but by their accomplishments, and that’s why everyone else will never ever see the tables again.
D-Von: Speaking of One trick ponies, maybe The Usos’ father should have been teaching them a little bit about respect instead of going out and buying thongs.
The Ascension takes the opportunity to cheap shot The Usos before the match officially charges.
Match 2: The Usos vs The Ascension
One of the Usos shoots the legs of Victor. Jimmy knocks Conor off the apron, then gets kicked by Victor. A tag to Conor, and he comes in with a boot. Tag back to Victor who drops a fist the ncovers for 1..2..NO! He hooks the arms from behid. Victor shoves Jimmy ot the corner. Tag to Jey who runs and hits a right to Conor. Right hand to Victor. Kick to the gut. Ducks a clothelsine. Samoan Drop. Jey rushes the corner with a butt splash, then goes for a kick to the incoming Conor. He spins him and eats an Enziguri then a Superkick.
Victor hops off the top rope. Double Superkick!!! Jey Uso goes to the top rope. Splash from up top! Pin for 1..2…3!!
Winner: The Usos
The Ascension is anything but their name…
Rating: *
The Dudley Boyz make to head down to the ring. They stop at the bottom of the ramp to jaw jack and think twice, heading back to the back.
Speaking of back…
Y2J is here, all smiles. He heads to the ring and grabs a mic, soaking in the chants for a bit. He welcomes us to RAW IS JERICHO, and says he has a story. For years, he’s been hearing about a guy named Styles. All he heard about Styles is that he is Phenomenal. He shows up at the Rumble, makes his debut, and right off the bat, Jericho didn’t like him. He didn’t get the self proclaimed phenomenon. He then had three matches with him, and now agrees. Jericho has had 24 hours to reflect on the loss he suffered. He said he didn’t like or respect Styles, but he has a few more things to say tonight. He invites Styles down to the ring.
Styles takes some time, but The Phenomenal one makes his way out eventually. Dueling chants from the crowd.
Jericho says that last night, he told Styles that the pressure was on him. If Jericho had beaten him twice in a row, it would have possibly ended his career before it even began. But that didn’t happen; Styles beat Jericho. Jericho congratulates Styles on the win. Styles proved something to the entire universe. He proved that Styles belongs in the WWE. He has what it takes. More importantly, he proved that he is Phenomenal. They shake hands once again.
The Social Outcasts are here! They all head out clapping. Slater says this is a memorable moment, and they are so sorry that they had to interrupt right before Jericho and Styles were going to hug. Bo says his heart is truly warmed to see so much love in the ring right now; it’s beautiful. Heath says he’s being sarcastic. Bo says, me too. Axel calls this garbage, and they mock the hand shaking. Axel says that they can see right through Jericho, and he’s only playing nice because Style made Jericho tap last night. And Styles? Shaking Jericho’s hand after all that was said by Jericho? Where Heath comes from, they call people like Styles a coward. Rose wants to know what they are now, friends? Buddies? No one is buying them two together. They are not a team. Social Outcasts are a team, and Y2J and Styles need to get out of their ring. Now.
Jericho calls Heath “Ginger Jackass” and tells him to shut up. He does make a little sense. Jericho wasn’t planning on teaming up with Styles, but maybe they should be. Maybe they’re officially a team, and they’re going to start with these four stooges here and now.
Match 3: Styles and Chris Jericho vs Social Outcasts (Heath Slater and Curtis Axel
We come back to Jericho beating down Slater with a chop. Whip into a dropkick by Jericho. Jericho with a suplex. He grabs the head of Slater and tags in Styles. Right hand by Styles. Snapmare into a running forearm to the face. Stlyes calls for the Clash, but Heath lifts him up and over the rope. Styles lands on the apron. Right forearm to Slater. Kick to Rose. Kick to Bo. Axel with a clothesline from the apron. Stomps from Heath and a tag to Axel. Right hand to Styles. Right again. Whip to the ropes and a dropkick from Axel. Axel with stomps in the corner. Tag to Heath. Axel hits an elbow then tosses Styles into a kick. Cover for 1. Cravat from behind by Heath. Styles turns into the hold but Heath hits a high knee then goes for a back suplex. Styles lands on his feet. Pele kick! Styles with a tag! Tag to Axel!! Jericho with a shoulder tackle. Chop in the middle of the ring. Whip. Reversed. Axel tosses Jericho over the ropes.

She is moved by watching the two of the girls bond the last two weeks. It’s like Tina Fey and Amy Peohler, only cheaper hair dye. Anyways, after her very emotional victory of Brie Bella last night, The Authority has informed Charlotte that there will be a match to see who will be facing her come Mania, and it’s Becky Lynch vs Sasha Banks. Charlotte wonders who wants it more; the cutthroat former NXT Women’s Champion, The Boss, Charlotte’s former BFF with an axe to grind.
Charlotte screams for Becky to watch out, and Becky falls for it. Charlotte says the relationship must be so rock solid. The next few weeks should be fun…for Charlotte.
