Be back here tomorrow for the full Best and Worst of Raw column.
WWE Raw results:
1. Dean Ambrose defeated Bad News Barrett. R-Truth was on commentary. During the match he once again stole the Intercontinental Championship, but was threatened by Luke Harper and handed it over to him. Harper leaving with the belt distracted Barrett, allowing Ambrose to hit him with Dirty Deeds and win the match.
– The Miz accidentally appeared in a Viagara parody commercial. Everybody on the show with nothing else to do laughed at him. He struck Mizdow and Mizdow almost stood up for himself, but didn’t and apologized.
– Bray Wyatt once again challenged the Undertaker, this time by setting a coffin on fire.
2. The Usos and Naomi defeated Cesaro, Tyson Kidd and Natalya. Tyson tagged in Natalya, who was confused as to why she’d been tagged in. That distracted her somehow and allowed Naomi to roll her up.
– John Cena attempted to enter the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Stephanie McMahon wouldn’t allow it, so he called her a bitch. She said that the only way Cena could get a spot on the WrestleMania card is if Rusev accepted Cena’s challenge for a Fastlane rematch. Curtis Axel interrupted them, and Stephanie made a match between the two.
3. John Cena defeated Curtis Axel. Cena hit an AA and won by submission with the STF. After the match, Rusev once again said “no” to a match.
– Triple H spoke extensively about Sting. He brought Booker T in the ring and fired and rehired him to show him what power and control are. HHH says he’ll kill the last of WCW at WrestleMania.
4. WWE Divas Championship Match: Paige defeated Nikki Bella (c). Paige was about to win the championship with the PTO, but Brie Bella interfered, drawing a disqualification. After the match the Bella Twins tried to attack Paige, but a returning AJ Lee made the save.
– Seth Rollins had his own episode of ‘The Daily Show’ with jokes about Jon Stewart and New Jersey. Stewart interrupted and the two argued until Stewart said Rollins hadn’t earned the Money in the Bank briefcase. The two almost came to blows when Randy Orton’s music interrupted, at which point Stewart kicked Rollins in the crotch and escaped. You can watch the segment here.
5. Daniel Bryan defeated Luke Harper. Bryan won by submission with the Yes Lock. After the match, Bad News Barrett reclaimed his Intercontinental Championship but was attacked by Dean Ambrose. R-Truth and Dolph Ziggler also got involved.
– Alundra Blayze is the latest inductee in the WWE Hall of Fame.
6. Seth Rollins defeated Roman Reigns. J&J Security and Kane interfered throughout the match. Randy Orton tripped up Reigns when the referee wasn’t looking, allowing Rollins to roll him up and win the match. After the match, Reigns single-handedly fought off the entire Authority.
