Keep Refreshing For The Latest WWE Raw Results


We are officially moved into the new spot, and although I still have to stream RAW through a shady website that show me where hot chicks are in my city who can’t wait to meet me, I’m lovin the comfort. Now, for some discomfort…RAW!


EVERYONE! It’s Vanessa’s birthday tomorrow! Wish her well!

Seth Rollins starts the show with a new shirt, The AOP, and Buddy Murphy. He wants us to know that everyone has played a small part in making him the man that he is today. Without all of us, there is no Monday Night…I’m not sayin it. He thanks us. For our support, for all of the faith as the leader of this show. For this, he is in our debt. There is someone he wants to thank specifically, though. He heads to Buddy and says that last week, this man opened his eyes and embraced his fate. This man was courageous and brave and rose up, and now he stands firmly etched on the right side of history.

Rollins introduces us officially to the newest disciple after a video package shows us what went down last week. They hug. Seth says what they are doing is fate and destiny, and it cannot be stopped. We have reached a crucial time, a time for all of us to decide what kind of person we want to be, in the crowd and in the back. The battle lines are drawn; what kind of people do they want to be. Either they are with Seth or they are against them, and for those that are against him…

Kevin Owens is here! He’s not alone. Joe is quick to follow. Owens asks Joe if Seth talks to much, then affirms it. Owens understands how Seth can gloat over taking out Show. They are all so happy for them. The problem is that Show will be back to deal with Seth, Owens is sure, but two, they did not get rid of Joe and Owens. He’s pretty sure Kansas agrees, and we get visual proof that they do, that they are tired of Seth’s stupid voice. Owens suggests less talking and more fighting.

Seth says they will not fight right now. They need to decide a proper time and place.

Joe says he sees a self-proclaimed Messiah, but what he hears is a lawyered up ass hat.

JOE chant.

Seth tells Joe that Seth is a very forgiving man but the AOP are not, but if the two of them are hellbent on fighting the four of them, then there’s not much left to say except to come on down and dance with destiny.

Joe tells Seth that one of the side-effects of being an asshat is that listening skills diminish. They’re ready for a fight, but they aren’t the only ones. Joe calls out the boys…

And the boys are The Viking Raiders.

All four enter the ring, and Seth is quick to weasel out of the ring while the faces take on the heels. Owens with a Stunner to Akam. Joe with a rock bottom to Buddy. The faces stand tall in the ring.

We return to Raw to Seth saying he is challenging The Viking Raiders for the tag team titles tonight. He will be teaming with his new Buddy.

Heyman and Brock are here to talk about the Rumble. Heyman mentions Brock coming in at 1 and eliminating 29 others and everyone says, of course Brock will – he’s Brock. Brock has vowed that 29 other contracted challengers will be eliminated, and he will win. It gets better, because the winner gets to choose who they face in the main event of Mania, and Brock has deemed that there is not one person in the locker room that is worthy of main eventing Mania against Brock. DO we really believe that there is anyone worthy of stepping into the ring that is worthy? Name one…they’ll wait.

Ricochet’s music hits. Lol.

He says that every time that he jumps off the top rope, it might be the last time that he ever takes that risk, so he ain’t afraid of nothin, and certainly not Brock.

Heyman says Ricochet must have been educated in Wichita. Heyman calls him lunch meat and tells his ass to be taken back to the locker room before he gets hurt.

Ricochet says he’ll stay right here. This Sunday might be his only ticket to Mania ,and he’s not afraid to fight for that. He’s seen what happens when challenging The Beast, then tells Brock directly that he’s not afraid to step in the ring with Brock.

Now that he’s in the ring, he’s also not afraid to challenge Brock to a fight right now.

Brock isn’t down. He walks out of the ring, chuckling. Ricochet asks him if he’s afraid. This stops Brock in his tracks. Brock re-enters the ring and kicks Ricochet in the nuts.

Brock: “Not Scared”

Backstage, Orton is with Charley, who wants to know how Orton feels about McIntyre. He says that Drew is a hell of a guy, a hell of a talent – he has a hell of a future, and he’s got one hell of a chop, but on par with oRton? Nah. It’s virtually impossible for someone to be on par who can attack at any time, any place, anywhere, with the most devastating move ever.

Charlotte gets to talk about herself backstage some.
