411’s LIVE WWE Raw Report 5.18.15
* Welcome.

That’s right everyone, it’s 5/18/15 which means today marks the second ever edition of 411’s RAW REPORT BINGO!!!! Those who have sent me their e mail should have received their cards earlier today! I have them all printed and ready, and will be playing along with you!

The prizes are a bit different this time around, as I saw that the Network wasn’t as viable as assumed, and a majority of us already have it! Instead, we’re giving away shirts!! WOOT WOOT! If you have your card, the prizes and ways of winning are explained. If you don’t have a card, then you’re stuck just watching RAW. Sucks for you!

Let’s do this!!

[Editors Note: To those reading the actual Report, sorry for the Bingo stuff. It’s for the Live Recap, and I’m not going to delete it all. If you’re interested in playing next time around, let me know! ]



RAW!
IS!
BINGO!

Well then…looks like we’re getting a promo to start the show! Steph and Triple H come out, and for the first time ever, we are hoping for a promo that is longer than 10 minutes…

Steph wants to ask us a question: Did we miss her? Of course we did, just like she missed us. She says it was a successful night for WWE and Authority. She says we can’t relate to being a winner, but Rollins can. He defeated three opponents at Payback. The future has never been stronger, and his name is Seth Rollins. Triple H says those that questioned them and their choice can no longer do so because he has proven that he is everyhing they say he is. They are good at their jobs. He told us so. Seth Rollins is the future of the WWE. Tonight, they pay tribute, calling tonight “Seth Rollins: Architect of a Dream.” She says Seth is resting backstage, but Orton, Reigns, and Ambrose will acknowledge their inferiority as they go to the back of the line. Sorry, they just couldn’t get the job done. Championships are reserved to those who can man the fack up.

Speaking of titles…

They show a black cloth covering a title. They remove the cloth, and it’s the IC Title. We get a Yes Chant!

Bingo Alert: YES! YES! YES! Chant

Steph knows Bryan is at home picking berries and chopping wood, but she knows how much courage it took for him to admit that Steph was right. In two years, he had two injuries that caused him to give up two championships. How heart wrenching. The show must go one, however.

Triple H says when one door closes, another opens, and in two weeks we will have a NEW IC Champ – the most resilient and durable champ, because it will be decided inside the Elimination Chamber.

Steph calls it an historic night, and is interrupted by…SHEAMUS! He is sorry to interrupt. He looks stupid, according to the crowd. He loves what The Authority has done with the place. Steph says she loves his look. He’s here to talk about the fact that they don’t need an Elimination Chamber match for the IC Title. They have the one man who put an end to the Yes Movement. He was the one who finally ended Bryan’s career, and he’s got video proof. This was last month when Sheamus apparently destroyed the neck of Bryan. Clips of their match focus on Sheamus tearing Bryan up. He says he should be handed the title.

Ryback makes his presence known, interrupting Sheamus,.

Ryback tells Sheamus that he looks stupid. Ryback says Bryan has more heart, passion, and determination than Sheamus could ever have. Steph predicts the Yes chant that comes next, but Ryback says he’s got the mic, so he’s talking. He calls Bryan more of a man than Sheamus by damned near ruining his body to become the IC Champ. Ryback says how bout tonight Sheamus tries picking on the Big Guy. Ryback has a secret; he doesn’t like bullies, and doesn’t like Sheamus. Sheamus gets ready to go.
Steph says they can prove how much they want that title when they compete in the Elimination Chamber. Triple H likes the vibe going on, though, and wants a match tonight between the two.

Bing Alert: Booker claims this is BEST FOR BUSINESS!

The promo itself was just under 10, but I’m going to allow it.

Bingo Alert: Opening Promo > 10 Minutes

Sheamus is still holding his eye after the match. He sees Ryback roll away then smiles as he removes his hand and shows he’s quite alright. Nicely done, Sheamus…

Backstage, Steph talks about the movement known as “Seth Rollins: Architect of a Dream.” She says it’s a strong idea that needs a strong man behind it, and that man…is Kane. Kane thinks that Seth has grown. Insert Seth with some champagne and ego. He pours a glass for everyone except for Kane. He says that no one deserves this more than Kane, so he tops him off. “Because after last night, I saved your job and you finally got something to celebrate.”

Dean Ambrose walks up all jolly. hahaha. Great. He says congrats, calls it a big win, and it only took four other guys to help him. Ambrose wants to reassess the scorecards and says last time they fought one-on-one, Ambrose beat Seth. Last night, Seth couldn’t beat Ambrose. Ambrose tells Rollins that in two weeks, HE will grant SETH a rematch on one condition: Seth puts the title on the line. Triple H tells Kane he can handle this one and he and wifey leave.

Seth tells Ambrose that he’s in the back of the line. Kane says that it should be up to the champ to decide his future, because after all…Seth is the future. Seth tells Ambrose that when he finds the back of the line, say hi to Roman and Randy.

Ambrose tells Kane he always knew Kane was Seth’s nuetered little lap dog, but seeing it up close…breaks it heart. What would Paul Bearer think? Or his brother?! Ambrose calls him a glorified butler. Kane says if Ambrose wants action so badly, he gets action tonight…against Bray Wyatt. Ambrose says ok, then takes Kane’s champagne and takes a sip. He tells Kane, “You really shouldn’t drink on the clock” then walks away, champagne and dignity in hand.

-Commercial Break-

We’re back, and Renee Young is all hot and bothered from seeing her man jest with Kane. She introduces the man that gravity forgot, Neville. Booker is on a one minute moment of silence to assure slipping up.

Young asks Neville about his rematch with Barrett coming up next. She wants to ask first about his debut after Mania. How does he enjoy it so far? Neville says that he’s been fortunate enoguh to compete all over the world, but nothing compares to competing in the WWE. Take one look, he may not be th biggest guy, and he’s got some doubters, but there’s nothing more he loves than proving them wrong. When he looks down at his opponent and he is flying through the air, he is 10 feet tall.

Young brings up his NXT reign and how has he transitioned from that to this. He is interrupted by a fresh faced Bo Dallas. He says there’s nothing more inspirational than hearing a good children’s story – like The Little Engine That Could. He says Neville’s story is more The Little Engine That Couldn’t. He says it takes a brave man to keep his chin up. He would say Neville’s career is looking up, but that would be a lie, and he would never say things that he doesn’t BO-Lieve.

Neville asks Renee if she knows who he beat to start his record-breaking championship reign? He BO-lieve’s it was Dallas. Dallas attacks like a chump, then rolls to the outside as King Barrett makes his entrance.

JBL welcomes Bo Dallas to the commentary table.

Match 2: Neville vs King Barrett
Wade goes for the leg, but Neville locks the head. He side steps a shoulder in the corner. Wade calls for the Test of Strength then shoots for the leg.

Back, after a break, and Neville is trying to fight back. He hops over Wade in the corner but lands awkwardly and Barrett takes out the knee from behind .Cover for 1..2..NO!

We get some stills of the I Quit Match from last night where Lana gave up for Rusev. Not to be confused with “Gave it up to Rusev,” which she did as well.

Back after a break, and Rusev is here with his super angry George Zimmerman face. There will be no Lana tonight, he says. Shit. He says there is no Lana. Lana needs to learn her place. Yeah boi! Lana does not speak for Rusev, only he speaks for himself. He speaks our stupid language perfectly and knows how to say “I quit.”

WE WANT LANA

Rusev: THERE IS NO LANA!!!

He never said “I Quit.” John Cena did not beat him last night, he crushed John Cena. He beat him so badly that Cena passed out in the middle of the ring. Then Lana quit…because she is weak. Rusev calls out John Cena and The Authority and wants the match restarted right now.

Out comes LANA!!! She says she knows Rusev said not to come out. Rusev says no, he TOLD her not to come out. Lana says she wanted to explain herself. She wants to explain that Rusev is not who he claims to be. He is not JUST the Bulgarian Brute, he is misunderstood. They share some conversation in another language. Lana says she believes in him, has so from the beginning and more than anyone else. She was positive to be the first man to make Cena finally say the words “I Quit,” but it did not happen. It’s disappointing, but that’s life. She was trying to protect Rusev. Rusev questions this. Lana says she cares about him. He calls her pathetic and disgusting. Lana says “ENOUGH!” What did he expect for her to do? Stand and scream while his body is being bent backwards? She did the right thing for him and for them. She couldn’t stand and watch as he screamed “I Quit” in Bulgarian. Uh oh…

Rusev shows some anger. The crowd chants “YOU QUIT!” He calls Lana a liar. Says there is no “Us!” There is only “ME! I don’t need you! I need no one!” He calls her weak and says Rusev makes her weak. He tells her to go back to wherever she came from, no one needs her.

Rusev continues to berate her as she walks up the ramp to the back. Rusev stands proud. So…does he still want that match?

BINGO ALERT: NO! NO! NO!

We still have this:

Match 3: Dean Ambrose vs Bray Wyatt
Bray and Ambrose smile at each other like long lost lovers. They hug it out in the corner, with Bray getting the upperhand. He hits the midsection then smiles. Lockup but Bray hits a body slam. Bray hits the ropes, goes for the splash, but Dean moves. He hits a clothesline to the seated Wyatt then an elbow drop. He locks the leg, turns Wyatt over on his stomach, and pulls back on his face. He lets go of the hold at 4 then locks the arm behind Wyatt. Ambrose drops a knee to the back and pulls back on the arm of Wyatt. The arm is locked far behind Wyatt, looking pretty spectacular. Ambrose is up, he kicks Wyatt then scrapes the face with a forearm. Ambrose attacks the back as we get a replay of Payback where Wyatt didn’t miss the splash.

Rating: ***1/2

After some Tough Enough vids, we get our first Title Match on the show.

New Day comes out second, and Kofi wants to speak on the situation. He says Woods has been banned from ringside as a result of this controversy concerning their win at Payback. Big E calls it injustice. After they are victorious tonight, they are meant to defend their titles in the Elimination Chamber against FIVE tag teams! This is not fair. This has never been done before, and everyone can see that the odds are being stacked against them. Even we simple, illiterate people in this backwater state. Fear not, says Kofi, for through the power of positivity, they shall persevere. Big E asks for everyone to stand and clap, “NEW DAY ROCKS.”

The crowd gets close.

BINGO ALERT: MILLIONS OF DOLLARS DANCE!!!

During the tag match, participants were announced for the IC Title Match come Elimination Chamber: Rusev, Ryback, Sheamus, R-Truth, King Barrett, and an unnamed participant we’ll likely learn tonight.

Orton?

John Cena is here. He holds up the title and says it’s the Championship of “Our United States of America.” He then holds up a towel. Says these three words (Never Give Up) helped him keep the title exactly where it belongs. In case we missed it, he’s got three letters for us…USA. He says we all have a difference of opinions, but we are all proud Americans. Do they cut this out on international feeds? He’s proud to carry the title into battle every night. It’s for men like that (points some military in the crowd) that make this title different than any other. It’s a true symbol of excellence and sportsmanship. ALl they have to do is accept the challenge. He calls the title “Our Championship” and the Champ is here.

Speaking of champs….It’s KEVIN FUCKING OWENS!!!

Oh wow.

“Hello, John. First of all, congratulations on your victory last night at WWE Payback, it was very impressive. Now, I would introduce myself, but you know exactly who I am don’t you?”

Cena smirks.

“If anyone out there doesn’t know who I am, quite frankly, those people are not worth my time in the first place.”

Cena wants to do this right, introduces Kevin Owens as NXT Champ. Owens thanks Cena, then says he must feel a little guilty and responsible for Zayn’s injuries two weeks ago, but Owens is here to ease his mind. Sami was injured before he ever accepted Cena’s little challenge. He’s the only that injured him, and this Wednesday night, when it comes to Sami, he’s going to finish what he started.

Cena calls it a fine speech, and says he has a lot to learn. Cena wants him to listen. Right, some of these people don’t know him, but not a single person here is ever to be called a “waste of time.” ugh….

Cena says to take a good look because without all of them, there is no him, no RAW, no WWE. THIS is why WE are here.

I feel like I’m getting the worst blowjob ever.

From one champ to another, he wants to bestow some veteran advice. Owen stops him, says he may not have been in the WWE as long as Cena, but he’s been doing this for 15 years, longer than John Cena, so he doesn’t get to give HIM advice.

Cena says ok, then he’ll give him a warning. Zayn had fire in his eyes, but he sees nothing in Owen’s eyes. He sees fear, because Owens realizes he bit off way more than he can chew. He tells Owens to watch himself because Zayn is going to take that title away from him, and if he has a problem, this is RAW and the US Title Challenge is still open.

Owens says he is a prized fighter, but he already has a prize, and it’s the NXT Championship so….when it comes to the US Open Challenge…his answer is no. But trust him, Cena and Owens are going to fight…some day. On his terms, not Cena’s, and if Cena thinks he has Owens all figured out, he’s going to realize…

KICK TO THE GUT! Whip to the ropes! POP-UP POWERBOMB! Owens stands atop Cena. HE STEPS ON THE US TITLE!!!! Holy shit!!! Owen does the You Cant See Me taunt then heads to the outside.

Holy shit….

We’re back after a break, where Cole gives us a “Yeah, hi, 1..2…3.” You’re all good, Cole.

Ziggler received over a dozen stitches on his forehead from last night.

Match 5: Dolph Ziggler vs Stardust
Cody attacks the back of Ziggler. Ziggler runs into a awkward Rock Bottom like move from Stardust. He Stomps the chest then hits a right hand to Ziggler. Ziggler with a clothesline. Cover for 1…NO! Stardust goes for the finisher, but Ziggler kicks up high. Wow, kind of impressive.

Zig Zag out of nowhere. Pin for 1…2..3!!
Official Result: Dolph Ziggler
WWE’s way of reminding you Ziggler still matters, but Cody doesn’t.
Rating:

Cole heads to the ring and wants to ask Ziggler how he feels about the match with Sheamus? Ziggler tries to be funny, but it falls flat. He says that the stitches, they hurt – but not nearly as bad as losing to Sheamus. He says “but hey, chicks dig scars.” Cole says they’ve been talking about the Elimination Chamber match. There is one spot remained, and he’s here to tell Ziggler that it’ll be filled by….DOLPH ZIGGLER! Ziggler points to his scar, and says he’ll go through 20 more of these to get his hand on the IC Title. Anything else that comes his way, anything….you name it.

Um…Lana?

Lana heads down the ramp. She grins at Dolph. Dolph smiles back. WE WANT LANA. Lana gives Dolph those eyes. Dolph wants to make sure. Lana grabs Dolph by the head, smirks. She heads in for a kiss…

Lana puts one on Dolph!

Yes! Chant. Dolph waits for the inevitable attack, looking around as if Rusev if going to attack. The crowd chants ONE MORE TIME. Lana grabs Dolph by the neck, and goes for a more slightly intense smooch. Dolph, still unsure, looks everywhere for the attack..

Oh, and there’s Rusev! He rushes down the ring and enters. Dolph goes to attack, but Rusev with a kick! He stares towards Lana. Lana has her arms crossed in the corner while Dolph is outside, an afterthought. Lana heads closer to the yelling Rusev. Rusev screams in Bulgarian. Lana with the slap!! She crosses her arms once again as Rusev looks on in shock and awe and a little bit of sexual frustration. Rusev seems to pump up with anger until Ziggler comes back and hits a Zig Zag to Rusev!!!

Booker T: “Dolph Ziggler, you better watch yo back, son!” hahahahaha

Backstage, Kane yells at stagehands to make sure the carpet sparkles. Well then…

He walks by Adam Rose and some chick making out. She doesn’t look at all like the wife we saw on E:60.

Want a gif? Here’s a gif

Match 6: Luke Harper and Eric Rowan vs Fandango and Zack Ryder
Harper and Fandango to start. Harper misses a right. Fanny with some chops. Harper escapes the corner and locks in a side headlock. Rope work and a shouldertackle knocks Fandango down.

Fandango gets sent in the corner then Harper gets tagged in. Throat thrust and a kick from Harper. Harper with an uppercut. Gator Roll on the apron. Side headlock on the mat. The crowd is quiet save for a small sputtering of “WE WANT RYDER.”

I love how Cole says Ryder could make a name for himself…

Rating: NR

Backstage, Steph runs into the Bellas, calls them everybody’s favorite. She wishes Nikki luck. Steph tells Brie that she knows she comes off bitchy, but she understands and sympathizes with her; she’s a wife of a superstar, too. She also says that the health of superstars, both physical and mental are worrisome for her. In fact, she has scheduled some meetings for Brie, and thinks that Brie shouldn’t go ringside tonight.

The Bellas seem worried, and we’re supposed to care because they’re faces now.

BINGO ALERT: CONNIE SPEAKS!!!

Nikki hugs a kid on the way to the ring.

Naomi comes out with Tamina. I wonder if she remembers this:

Match 7: WWE Divas Title Match
Nikki Bella vs Naomi (W/ Tamina)

Naomi with a go behind and a push to Nikki. COME ON, NIKKI! Nikki tries to attack, but Naomi is on th apron and side steps. COME ON, NIKKI! She hops over, lands on her feet, and impresses herself.

Both girls attack!! Paige is here!!! She heads into the ring! She attacks Naomi and Tamina!! “THIS IS MY HOUSE!!!” Paige grabs the title and sets it down, then looks towards Nikki. Nikki goes to grab her title, so Nikki locks the head! RAMPAIGE!!

Backstage, we see Triple H shaking hands with Kevin Owens! Afterwards, Renee Young comes up to him. She brings up the attack and wants to know what he and Trips were talking about. He says that he would fight John Cena on his own terms, and The Authority agrees. So, in two weeks, he’s going one – on – one with John Cena at Elimination Chamber. He says what he does to Zayn is what he will do to John Cena. The champ is not there…the champ is here.

The Authority is here. Steph says one of the greatest things about growing up in the WWE is watching bold and incredible superstars reach up and grab that brass ring, and none are more inspirational than the superstar she is introducing tonight; The Architect of a Dream – Seth Rollins.

Rollins is here!

Triple H says they have believed in him since NXT. He has made history. Steph cheers for him. Since Mania, he’s beaten 6 men. He has lived up to every claim he has ever made. Triple H sees the reflection of another WWE Superstar in Seth. When he looks into The Architect, he sees the reflection of the Cerebral Assassin, and he’s gotta admit that when he watched Seth Pedigree orton in the middle of the ring, it gave Triple H goosebumps. What he wants to say is that they are all here for Seth. The Universe is here to celebrate Seth. Ladies and Gentlemen, let’s hear it for Seth Rollins! Tripel H wants to give everyone a moment to say how the feel, and he wants to start with Kane.

Kane struggles a bit. He doesn’t know where to begin. There are so many things that he’d like to say right now. Everyone knows they haven’t seen things eye to eye, but what do you expect, Kane is over a foot taller than Seth. In all seriousness, they wouldn’t be out there without each other. He can finally say he’s glad Seth is still champ, and he is truly best for business.

Seth: “That’s all you have to say?” Oh, dear. He wants to know if there’s anything else. Kane says Thank You for saving my job, and to show how sincere he is about that, he has this put together:

Video package of Seth Rollins lookin all spiffy and bad ass. Who knew Kane was so good at Final Cut Pro?

Noble on the mic. He wants Seth to know it’s been awesome being by Seth’s side. He says where he’s from, there’s a saying “Cream rises to the top,” and that’s what Seth is. Cream. He’s cream, guys. Anyway, he says it’s been an honor to protect Seth. He says Joey has something to say as well.

Joey grabs the mic. He’s visibly emotional. Joey struggles with words. He is about to say what he wants to, but Ambrose’s music hits, and here he comes! He just enters the ring like no big thing. Steph says he’s got a lot of nerve.

Ambrose apologizes for being late, he was out looking for the perfect Bieber album for Seth. Might I suggest his first, My World? Ambrose says, instead, he’ll give Seth another opportunity to take him up on his offer for a title shot. Seth says this is his night, and Ambrose must be dreaming. He’s at the back of the line. Ambrose says unfortunately, he’s a notorious line-jumper. He wants his Championship match, or else.

Steph wants to know who Ambrose thinks he is? Ambrose hasn’t done anything to earn the title match – in fact, he lost last night. But Steph has something to say, he’s a fighting champ and won’t be intimidated by Ambrose’s threats. She tells Seth “Get him!” Steph and Co back up a bit, leaving Seth to stand up to Ambrose. Seth removes his jacket and title. He tries to cheap shot Ambrose, but Ambrose gets the upperhand until J&J attack. Rollins tries to take advantage, but Ambrose rolls him to the outside. Suplex to Rollins on the outside of the ring. Hip toss to Mercury, tossing him into the timekeeper’s area. He sends Noble into the barricade. Rollins locks the head, sends Ambrose to the ring, but Ambrose rolls back to the outside nd tosses Seth atop the announce table. There’s a black cloth nearby. Ambrose removes it, and there are cinder blocks!!! Ambrose grabs a chair! He steps on Seth’s head!! He stares down The Authority. Steph on the mic, tells Ambrose to stop. She tells Ambrose to listen, to let Seth go. She says if he lets Seth go, Ambrose has the match. He’ll get the title shot. Ambrose says “Deal” and lowers the chair. Ambrose raises the chair, looking to attack, but Mercury is here to grab the chair. J&J attack, but Ambrose grabs Noble and tosses him into J&J. Kane is here. Ambrose hops off the barricade into all three of them! Seth runs through the ring and heads out the other side. Triple H grabs him and helps him out. In the ring, J&J attack but Ambrose sends them to the outside. Kane is here! He goes for a chokeslam, but Ambrose gets out, hits the rope and locks up for Dirty Deeds. Rollins from behind! He attacks! PEDIGREE TO AMBROSE!!!

End Show!!
