Post-Battleground Raw

Coming off the heels of a thoroughly disappointing PPV the night before, you just know that WWE had to step up their game for Raw. Did they? Give me a "Hell Yeah!" Damn, this Raw was just full of surprises and it was . . . AWESOME!

(I missed the first hour of Raw 'cause I was asleep - I'm going to watch it Wednesday on Mun2, though - that channel is 838 for Dish Network customers, channel 410 for DirecTV customers, and idk what channel it is for Mediacom and other cable/satellite providers - please let me know so I can add them to this list? Thanks! Also, for Dish customers, they show Raw on Wednesdays and Sundays - This Wednesday, it'll be on from 9:30pm to 12:30am and Sunday from 7-10am and again at 5-8pm. They also will show Smackdown on Saturday - one will run from 9-10:30pm and again from 11pm-1am and they rebroadcast it in English)

Let's get started!

The night started off when Triple H came out there to try to the fix the mess that was Battleground last night. He clearly wasn't happy that Cena won the match (if he didn't want Cena to win the match, he shouldn't have told Creative to write it - he and his father-in-law need to step their games up!)

Anyway, he made the statement that he was going to name Cena's opponent for Summerslam *cough* Brock Lesnar *cough*. This made his "lapdogs" begin arguing that they should get their chance at the belts. Roman Reigns, the guy everyone thought should have won, came out to say that he should be in the match. Ever the opportunist (no, no the Ultimate Opportunist - that's Edge), Trips decided to get rid of Roman and his lackeys so he could draw out the "suspense" of bringin out Lesnar. He put them in a handicap match against the former Hound of Justice.

Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton and Kane (2-on-1 Handicap Match)

Okay, I kind of saw this coming when I read the results. It seems that Kane and Orton don't want to work with each other anymore and Roman capitalizedon Orton's refusal to tag in by delivering his own version of "The Five Moves of Doom" (sorry!) to Kane. 

Winner: Roman Reigns

Nikki Bella vs. Alicia Fox, Eva Marie, Cameron and Rosa Mendes

Okay, you see where this is going, right? Yet another slap in the face to poor Nikki Bella by the vengeful Stephanie McMahon. However, this match wasn't as good as what was going on outside the ring - the sem-return of Nikki's twin, Brie! Brie had bought a ticket to support her sister, who was just going to get another beatdown, anyways. This brought the ire of "The Billion Dollar Princess" out there to taunt Brie, telling her that it was her fault that Nikki was being put in an impossible situation. Brie delivered a brilliant counter of her own, saying that the reason Stephanie is doing this is because "I left my handprint on my face." This led to Brie calling Stephanie a "vindictive bitch!" (which was awesome by the way - I saw that when I woke up, so yea - it was pretty cool haha) and Stephanie slapping the taste out of her. Tensions boiled over and Brie was escorted out of the ring by security. And of course Nikki lost her match, because Alicia Fox delivered her signature Scissor Kick. Hopefully, this will culiminate in a match between Brie and Stephanie at Summerslam (with Nikki as special guest referee).

Winner: Alicia Fox, Eva Marie, Cameron and Rosa Mendes

 

Bo Dallas vs. Damien Sandow

Oy vey. WWE has continued to ridicule Damien Sandow by having him dress up in stupid costumes and make an ass out of himself. This time, though, they decided that they were going to piss off the Miami fans, who were still feeling the effect of Lebron James going back to Cleveland, by having Sandow put on his former uniform and putting a piece of tape that said "Cleveland". By the way, this reminds me of that lyric from MGK's "Wild Boy" (seriously, you need to listen to it - it's an awesome song and MGK is a BAMF, okay?) - "Never mind that's just Kells with that heat, no LeBron tho"
