aKeep Refreshing For The Latest WWE Raw Results

Day two of me, and guess what y’all! In a couple of short weeks, you’ll be getting more Acero!! That’s right; I’m tired of Watry, and oh so many of you wanted a REVIEW instead of a Report! In true Charlotte Flair fashion, it’s the person you want more of the least! Stay tuned!!!

The lady the world hates starts the show! Charlotte is quick to bring up last night, then talks about how she was the replacement for Becky when she couldn’t make it. No one wants to admit this, but she is the backbone of this division. She is the Franchise Player, and she is a winner. We all think Charlotte is Mr. McMahon’s favorite, but this isn’t why. He made a smart business decision, and chose a future Hall of Famer over someone that has just had a few good months. Charlotte points at the sign and says Becky, hoping she will come out. Oh man, she didn’t. So let her finish. Vince chose her because the main event of Mania is the biggest match of the year, and you’re not going to risk it on a flash in the pan like Becky Lynch. So we may not be happy with his decision, but she can promise sus this: Wrestlemania will be like every other PPV she has main evented. Everyone will be on their feet chanting This Is Awesome, so boo her now. She wants to dedicate this main event match that she is going to have to her best friend; Becky Lynch.

WOOOOOOO!

YOU SUCK chant. OMG. Charlotte WHAT chants the crowd!!! Hahahahahaha


Match 1: Naomi and Carmella vs Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville vs The Iiconics

Carmella and Mandy to start. Same rules as last night where the losers are the first to start. Mandy and Sonya double team after a tag. Cover from Deville and she gets 1..2..NO! Carmella with a front faced head lock. Naomi gets a tag. They double kick then suplex Sonya away. Cover for 1..2..NO! Naomi works the arm behind Sonya but gets pushed to the corner. Shoulder thrusts to Naomi. Sonya argues with the ref and Noami gets a kick. Rope work and Naomi lands on the apron and hits a high kik then hits a splt leg drop and a pin for 1..2..NO! Naomi tags in Mella and she comes in for a suplex. Deville is able to knee out of it a few times, though. Mella jumps over a leg sweep, then moonwalks away. She hits the roeps. Mella with a hurricanrana. Naomi gets a tag. Mandy gets a tag. Rose doesn’t want to come in, though. She drops down and runs into the ring. She goes to tag in one of the Iiconics, but they both drop down. She continues running out of the ring and around it, but stops at Carmella. Naomi takes advantage of the distraction and launches herself over the top rope onto Mandy.

Back from a break and both Carmella and Sonya hit a double crossbody. It is mentioned that The iiconics have been using the gimmick to their advantage and actually started the match.

After the match, The Iiconics attack Naomi and Carmella! They send Naomi into the post then send Mella’s face into a knee. They pick up Carmella and send her into the ringpost alongside Naomi.

We get an interview with Bayley from last night who is defending her friend, saying that what happened tonight will not stop her, and she will be there at EC. She says this every week, and means it, there is no connection like The Boss and Hug Connection.

Nia and Tamina cut a promo. It sucks.

After a commercial, we are informed that a member of The New Day will be replacing Ali. They mentioned this earlier, but I did not, so there ya go.

Ali cuts a promo via his cell phone in the snow to talk about taking big shits. I mean hits. Sorry. I shouldn’t joke. Ali talks about his body giving up on him before his heart. He says it’ll take a lot more than Joe running him over or Orton kicking his face in or Rowan slamming his head through a table.

Miz welcomes us to McMiz TV. Miz talks about his reality show and how he was filming it while Shane was out filming an episode of NCIS. Shane wants to get down to business. Their guests are The Usos.

Out come the best Samoans currently on the WWE roster. They got the freshest kicks, y’all. They’ve decided to stand as opposed to taking a seat. USO chant. The mockingly call Shane and Miz the best tag team in the world. Or is it? The message remains the same; a wannabe tag team trying to be The Usos. Shane says they aren’t trying to be The Usos, but they ARE the best tag team in the world.

The Usos have a question; do they ride together? No. Train together? No. Eat together? You bathe togaether Let’s take a tag team test on em. They do a little test amongst brothers. They make the mistake and mention the 49ers. Miz wants to do a test too. He asks what his fvorite color is, whispers it in his ear, then gets the answer. They shout out the minor league team of the city they’re in. Nice. HOLY TOLEDO! What a face move, Miz. Hahaha.

Miz brings up Mandy Rose. The Usos take offense. They shove Shane’s hand away. Shane steps up and wonders if the twin things works with physicality cuz he’s going to hit one so hard that the other is going to feel it. Miz says save it for Elimination Chamber. He is about to say something, but the mic gets smacked out of his hand. The usos go in on them, saying it’s disrespectful. In front of them is the true tag team. Six times is coming soon.

Man, y’all, The Usos are….they special.

Shane holds the titles in the air, and says the only thing that is real are these titles right here. Shane and Miz hold the titles up, so The Usos give them a swift Superkick to the chins.

Daniel Bryan is here and says that there are a lot of people here who want him to lose his WWE Championship this Sunday at Elimination Chamber, but the truth is that we are lying to ourselves because we are all fickle. We need somebody like The New Daniel Bryan to show us how to live our pathetic lives. Bryan doesn’t want to be called a martyr, but his sacrifice is necessary to win the title and stay the champion.

Big E cuts him off with some shouting, and it’s powerful.
