HEY ALL! I’ve yet to hear from Hawkeye Fan OR DrCottonBalls so if you’re in here, e mail me fuckers!

Thanks for playing!

---

It’s Monday…you know what that means.

Hello there, WWE fans! It’s Monday evening, and that means it’s time for Raw! I’m Jeremy Thomas, and I’m filling in for Tony for the first 15, so get ready for that. Not much to say, so let’s just get into it.

As a reminder, the GoFundMe for Larry’s daughters is still active and if you can make a donation, that would be awesome. Thank you so much to everyone who’s done so thus far.

* We’re LIVE in Denver, Colorado and we’re on SYFY, commercial-free for the first hour. Bobby Lashley will speak tonight, as will Lita. We have a Quiz Bowl final as well, so…yay?

* We’re starting with the Quiz Bowl final, hosted by Kevin Patrick. He introduces Riddle and Randy as the challengers, then American Alpha. This is the third and final challenge of the Academic Challenge, and we get a recap of how the last couple weeks played out with the spelling bee and the scooter race.

Patrick goes to explain the rules, but Gable has it from here. He will explain everything that even the moronic mouth-breathers of Denver can understand. They’ll get categories with multiple choice questions. Correct answers get a point, and opposing teams can steal on incorrect answers. Winner is the first to five, and the categories are presented.

Alpha Academy chooses US Presidents. Which president was the first to be elected with a college degree? Gable touts his 4.0 GPA says of the options, it’s not George Washington; it’s John Adams. Correct for a point.

Riddle chooses biology, and Orton doesn’t seem certain. The question is how many hearts an octopus has? Riddle says his cousin is a marine biologist and they dissected an octopus. So he says three hearts and that’s correct. Gable calls it a lucky guess and goes for Greek Mythology. The question is about who flew too close to the sun, and Gable yawns, calling it a softball, and correctly says Icarus. 2-1, Alpha Academy.

Orton selects cartoons next and the crowd likes that. The question asks which Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle used nunchakus, and Riddle says Cowabunga! It’s Michaelangelo. 2-2 tie.

Gable is angry cartoons is an option, and Orton tells Gable to shut his freakin’ mouth and let Otis answer a question. Gable gives Otis a chance, and he selects geography. Which state is the largest of the continental states? He takes a shot at Colorado then says Texas. 3-2 Alpha Academy.

Riddle picks pop culture. The question is whose daughter Justin Bieber married, and Riddle asks if Randy knows. “Absolutely not.” Riddle wants to use a lifeline to call his friend Justin. Orton guesses Alec, but that’s wrong. Gable says the answer is one of his favorite films, Biodome. It’s Stephen Baldwin. 4-2, Alpha Academy.

Gable says he’s going to enjoy this so much and tells RK-Bro to pick up a book. He chooses film and literature, asking which Shakesepeare play has been adapted into the most movies. Gable says he’s got it, saying it’s the greatest love story of all time. Otis wants to keep saying Hamlet, but Gable says it’s Romeo & Juliet. That’s wrong. Riddle says Hamlet, and that’s right. 4-3, Alpha Academy.

It’s RK-Bro’s turn, they pick sports. Which QB has the most wins in Broncos history? Orton asks Denver for a bit of help, and it’s John Elway. 4-4 tie! Gable flips out.

Alpha Academy is up next, and we’re down to metric conversions. Gable picks it, and the question is how many grams are in an ounce. Well, the pothead definitely has this. Gable waffles between answers, but picks 12 which is wrong. Riddle then goes to guess but Orton says he’s got it. Riddle asks how he knows, and Orton says “You think I’m the only one that bakes, bro?” Orton gets it right and RK-Bro win. That was certainly a thing.

Gable demands a re-do, and Riddle tells him to SHUSH! He says Gable got outsmarted by the most dangerous syllables in sports entertainment (and shockingly it’s not THC): RK-Bro. Gable loses it as the buzzer keeps going off and RK-Bro leave.

FML.

DADDY’S HOME!!!

Yo, yo, yo! Pop a forty and check your rollies!

Wait…

Anyway, Street Profits come out and Gable challenges them to a match.

In things that are TOTALLY not commercials, we get ads for Smackdown.

Match 1: The Street Profits vs The Alpha Academy
Ford sends Otis off the apron, flips away from am ove, hits a hard clothesline, then kicks Gable in the stomach. Whip to Gable, Ford drops after a tag, and Dawkins hits a shoulder tackle and a pin for 1…2..N!O!!! Side headlock, nother tackle. Gable with a surprise go behind, Dawkins escsapes, cartwheels away then hits an arm drag, antoher, dropkick from Dawkins! Otis gets a tag and drops Dawkins.

MVP is in the middle of the ring. He is honored to present to us the reigning, defending Bobby Lashley. The crowd loves Bobby, being his hometown. MVP says last week, they should have celebrated. Some are saying Bobby only won because Reigns interfered, but Bobby didn’t see that, and Brock would have done the same thing. So instead of celebrating, Brock came out and interrupted, then interjected himself into the Elimination Chamber. Bobby will enter it and leave the same way; WWE Champion.

MVP calls out AJ and Seth, saying they’re two of the best. There’s also the future in there in Riddle and Theory. All stellar superstars, but they are mere men. Brock disrespected him for the last time.

Lashley on the mic – Brock came to RAW with his little MMA gloves on, trying to demand a rematch. He don’t make demands from Lashley. When was the last time Brock defended the title, more importantly ,when was the last time Brock had a match on RAW?

Eeek, this is rough. He hopes it comes down to Bobby and Brock at the Chamber.

Bobby chant. When Brock wakes up in the hospital shaking at the mere sound of Bobby Lashley, he can go challenge for the Universal title. Meanwhile, he will be defending his title at Mania.

We get a recap of last week with Alexa Bliss, and now we are in real time…sort of. I think. The doc asks for the replica Lily. Alexa hesitates heavily, then hands it over. She starts to cry.

AJ Styles is here for a Championship Contender’s Match…

Match 2: AJ Styles vs Damian Priest
AJ with a quick duck and a chop. Priest tosses him in the corner, AJ leaves it and hits another chop. Whip but Priest holds on tight, so AJ chops him again. AJ hits the ropes, back elbow from Priest.

Rollins is backstage with Owens, and Seth is so upset that Owens is not in the Chamber match. Gosh, it’s so bothersome. Owens says worry not, because with Seth’s influence and support, and Owens’ determination and popularity, Owens has a good feeling that Pearce and Deville will have no choice but to put him in the match after he beats Theory tonight.

Seth says he doesn’t make the rules, Owens says it will happen, Seth likes his enthusiasm, and has Kevin’s back. He believes in him. Owens wonders if Seth is lying to him. He’s not…right?

Seth laughs this off and says he is a lot of things, but a liar is not one of them. GOOD LUCK.

The Miz and Maryse are here for MizTV.

They invite Rey and Dominik out.

Miz says he senses conflict amongst the lot of them, and he just wants to clear the air. We get some footage from last week, and Miz sees nothing wrong.

Rey questions him, then says he has a problem with what Miz did. Does Rey think Miz is a cheater? He is not a cheater. Look no further than the Royal Rumble. Beth punched Miz, kicked him, illegally. So when Rey or even Eddie used underhanded tactics, they are loved, but he is booed and called a cheater? He was cheated out of the opportunity for the Elimination Chamber. He should be in a position to enter the Chamber, but who got that shot? He beat Drew when Drew was unbeatable. Rey mentions that was with Lashley’s help.

Crowd calls him a cheater, so Miz goes in on them, saying he was on Dancing with the Stars, is the only two time Grand Slam Champion, but is his face on the posters, the trucks, the video games? No, it’s Rey! What does Rey have that Miz doesn’t? What about Maryse? She could learn a thing or two from Mayrse.

Rey thanks her, but says he is good. Miz is only asking for a little respect. Where is his appreciation. Where is his respect?

Dominik stands up, asks where is Miz’s respect. He needs to show his father some respect.

Miz wonders if this is how it’s done now. Dom wants to put his big boy pants on? Ok. Want a rematch? Miz vs Dom tonight.

Miz mentions that Dom is taller than Rey…is he sure he’s not Eddie’s son?

Dom holds his dad back, then shoves Miz into the corner, tripping him up in some chairs.

Match 3: Dominik Mysterio vs The Miz
We come back to the match already going down. Crowd tries for a CM Punk chant, but it’s short lived. Dom sends Miz into the corner, then mocks his little pose. Drop toe hold to Miz, and he hangs on the ropes. Dom hits the ropes, but Maryse trips him up RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REF. lol wtf.

The ref kicks Maryse out. Miz hits the ropes and Rey trips Miz up but the ref doesn’t see. Miz is pissed. Dom rolls Miz up and gets the 1..2..3!!!

Winner: Dominik Mysterio

Match 4: Bianca Belair vs Nikki A.S.H.
Lockup to start. Bianca makes short work of Nikki, dropping her on her ass, then flipping over her and hitting a dropkick. Nikki rolls to the outside. Bianca grabs her by the hair. Nikki places the apron skirt under the foot of Bianca and pulls it out from under her, tripping Bianca in a convoluted spot. Nikki beats down on Bianca in the ring. She works the left le, locking it then spinning into a half crab. Bianca escapes, hits a body slam on one leg, another, goes for a third, Nikki shoves her into the corner. Bianca escapes, rolls through, spins Nikki, locks the head, hits a suplex, flips into. Second one that is a bit delayed. Nice. Tornado DDT out of the corner from Nikkil. Cover for 1..2…NO!!!

Kick to the side of the head. Bianca, selling the leg still, hits the KOD! Cover for 1..2…3!!!

Winner: Bianca Belair
A distinct feeling of apathy for this one. Bianca did great selling when she sold, but also did quite a few moves that probably shouldn’t have been done had the sell job been real.

Backstage, Truth and Akira and Tamina are looking for something.

Dana and Reggie come out of hiding and Dana thanks him for everything he does and kisses him on the cheek. Reggie has a question. He’s just curious as to what this all means, and she puts him in the friendzone. She hopes that never changes. They lock eyes, consider a kiss, then stop. Truth and Co come up. Truth says they can run, but not hide. But they are hiding. And running, too. Truth tries to lead the charge, but Tamina and Akira walk away from him.

Theory’s got some new music. I think?

Match 5: Kevin Owens vs Austin Theory

In a similar fashion to AJ, Owens went out there and just lead this match by the hand. Unlike Priest, however, Theory played his part incredibly well. The dude has IT, and although this was less than ten, it was a lot in a little. Good shit.

Lita is here.

We go over last week, then the match that was made.

Lita is all smiles in the ring. Sh had no idea she’d be on RAW in Denver. She brings up the Rumble. One person was not there, though, and it was Becky. Before long, Becky comes out. She tries to tell Lita she’s in over her head. Lita says it was the crowd that did this. The crowd that chanted her name and brought her here.

Becky tries to cheap shot Lita, corners her and beats some ass, then leaves. But she isn’t done. She comes back into the ring and Lita kicks and hits a Twist of Fate! Lita to the top rope! Moonsault to Becky!

Kinda feel like they coulda waited on that….

Earlier tonight, Alexa cried over giving Lily back.

We are back with Alexa, and she is all smiles. Apparently, she handed the doll back last week. She cried but didn’t act in an aggressive manner. Progress. Doc asks her about her week. Alexa fills him in about her getting cut off. She thought she was going to go crazy, but she chilled, took a breath, and went about her day. Later, she gets cutoff again and her parking spot is stolen. Instead, she controlled her anger and left home.

Doc says progress.

Bliss says then she went to the grocery store, standing there for 30 minutes, then an evil creature cuts in front of her. She had this rainbow hair, eyes made of buttons, deep breathe, blood all over her face, and her teeth looked like little skulls.
