WWE RAW Live-Blog 2014.4.14
10:21 pm And the mixed tag team between Emma + Santino and Fandango + Layla now.
And it was glorious.
That's what I am feeling.
Crap, I didn't think of that.
10:14 pm Emma and Santino cut an awesome promo on the app. Really enjoyed it. "I almost said, 'kill,' but we will not kill them. We will just beat them and crush their spirit." They're taking on Layla and Fandango later on.
Now, the Wyatts comes out.
I believe he's out here to just talk. Okay, cool. Wyatt saying that he won't let Cena lie to the kids anymore. And that he has Cena right where he wants him. But that all he wants to do right now, is play.
Cena comes out, and says he's willing to have some fun.
9:56 pm Damien Sandow out talking to the crowd.
And out comes the Big Show. I feel bad for Sandow at this point. I feel like a punch in the face is about to happen.
And sadly, there's the punch. No match, just talking, and then getting punched in the face.
9:49 pm Tournament talk on the app. And on Twitter:
And up now, Swagger v. Sheamus
Zeb getting involved in the match a little. I'm assuming to check Sheamus' "papers." Because, you know, they're in those trunks somewhere.
Whoa, that might be a little too close to home / true.
Wow, FaceVHeel was right, Sheamus beats Swagger with a Brogue kick out of nowhere. Wow.
More on Fandango and Summer Rae
9:33 pm Back from the break, and Triple H is telling Brad Maddox that the Shield are in the Main Event. Against who, or what, no one knows.
And out comes Lana to introduce Rusev. Going to face Xavier Woods.
God, that's quick. Match is over. R Truth coming out to help out Woods. And he gets, I don't know, destroyed? Yeah, that's good.
By the way, Fandango and Summer Rae are still going through their breakup.
9:26 pm Just some final tweets on the last match.
9:22 pm And we're back from the break. Triple H meets with Ortista, "Told you."
Paul Heyman now out talking about Brock Lesnar. The fans booing him after three minutes.
And he turns this into an intro to Cesaro. No music. I guess they're still working on it. And now out comes Mark Henry. Now there's some intro music. I really hope this isn't a squash, but something epic.
Not an amazing match, but impressive. Cesaro gets the Netrualizer in on Henry.
9:07 pm People still talking about the last match between Paige and Alicia Fox, and how much they hated the commentary.
On the app, The Usos are giving a pumped promo for their match upcoming against Batista and Randy Orton. And that match, indeed starts now after the break.
(temporary break for the following hilarious tweet)
Now back to the match.
Damn it, my wife called it better than I did. The Shield came out and attacks Ortista. I really thought they were just going to focus on Triple H. Well, score one for, Mandi.
8:53 pm On the app, it appears to be a Paige promo package. Back on RAW, it's a Bo Dallas promo. Oh it's terrible, and I love it.
And out comes Paige.
Paige wins.
Indeed, a great match.
8:43 pm - Rybaxel v. Goldust + Cody Rhodes.
Goldberg chants.
I agree with that ^^
8:35 pm - Everyone on Twitter talking about the bad WWE + Toys 'R Us commercial. Moving on.
The meeting, Triple H telling Randy and Dave that The Shield need to be dealt with. "If the three of us are on the same page, you know as well as I do, nobody ... can stop us."
They tell Triple H it's his problem, not theirs.
8:27 pm - B roll from last week, I believe to heighten The Shield v. Triple H. Which, sounds like exactly what I wrote earlier regarding the pre-show.
Now Randy and Batista meeting with Stephanie and Triple H. Silent, just showing the meeting taking place. And we're back to more Warrior tribute.
8:24 pm - Up now, first match in the IC tournament. Del Rio v. RVD.
If you guys think the announcers are in another world, you should listen to them as you watch a match on the WWE App.
And there it is, RVD over Del Rio.
I'm not sure if this is a compliment. The match felt a bit slow. Like both RVD and ADR were coming back from injury/break. Anyway, RVD will face the winner of Mark Henry and Cesaro.
8:06 pm - All the superstars out to pay tribute to The Ultimate Warrior, as they roll the video montage.
Cody looked pretty beaten up about the whole thing.
7:58 pm - Talk of the 8-man intercontinental championship tournament (for #1 contender)
My thoughts exactly.
Good promo from Big E. A bit scripted, but I feel the "real" Big E coming out on the mic, and it looks like Hunter agrees with me.
And Monday Night Raw about to begin.
7:52 pm - Renee Young talking with Paige
And they roll on to the Adam Rose promo that I'm in love with.
7:48 pm - Recapping Cena v. Wyatt. I can't help but remind people that Bray Wyatt wears a "trilby," not a fedora.
I hate that the above tweet is a thing, but, well, it is.
7:42 pm - The guys are building up The Shield v. Triple H. Meanwhile, acknowledging in the background that Superstars is being taped as Big E wins over Titus O'Neil.
Apparently, later Paige will be on RAW, which makes sense considering what a big deal her arrival and win over AJ Lee was.
7:33pm - Live blogging again for tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW. Onto the pre-show.
 | thesteelcage I wonder if Natalya is going to make stripper comments re: Layla, now. #RAW 4/14/14, 10:16 PM |
| thesteelcage In case you missed the Fandango / Summer Rae split, it happened via Twitter last week. Yes, really. #RAW 4/14/14, 10:17 PM |
 | FaceVHeel I'm glad fandango finally got placed w/ a Diva that can actually dance. Does Summer Rae interrupt the match? 4/14/14, 10:17 PM |
 | ahess49 Fucking Fandango stealing Tyler Breeze's schtick 4/14/14, 10:19 PM |
| thesteelcage Layla pinned Emma. That was dumb. #RAW 4/14/14, 10:20 PM |
 | loveablelinds Between me and you, I think Paige got the better deal. Sorry, Emma. 4/14/14, 10:20 PM |
10:14 pm Emma and Santino cut an awesome promo on the app. Really enjoyed it. "I almost said, 'kill,' but we will not kill them. We will just beat them and crush their spirit." They're taking on Layla and Fandango later on.
Now, the Wyatts comes out.
| thesteelcage Ooh. The clap-along is coming through nicely on TV this week. #PiedPiper #RAW 4/14/14, 10:01 PM |
| thesteelcage Bray Wyatt essentially saying he didn't even want to beat John Cena at #WrestleMania. #RAW 4/14/14, 10:05 PM |
| loveablelinds John Cena needs to take the Wyatt's on the Exotic Express. 4/14/14, 10:06 PM |
| ahess49 God, Cena is awful. 4/14/14, 10:06 PM |
| thesteelcage Same old Cena. I miss the #WrestleMania build already. #RAW 4/14/14, 10:06 PM |
| ahess49 Ok, the Mike Price joke was legit awesome. 4/14/14, 10:06 PM |
 | MattRoth512 "The last thing I need is another push. Nobody wants to see that." Best line of John Cena's career. 4/14/14, 10:06 PM |
 | _katierose13 this is me not laughing. 4/14/14, 10:07 PM |
| ahess49 And back to awful 4/14/14, 10:07 PM |
| thesteelcage This is the worst. Cena making MySpace and Tinder jokes re: Bray Wyatt. Opposite of #MindGames. #RAW 4/14/14, 10:08 PM |
 | davidbix Did WWE get a new director recently? They miss so many cues for shot changes lately. #raw 4/14/14, 10:08 PM |
 | clinteldorado Creative, fuck you. You always do this, and it always fucking ruins guys. Remember Dolph Ziggler? You did this to him. Look at him now. 4/14/14, 10:07 PM |
| thesteelcage Cena goes from intriguing build to full retard mode in one week. One damn week. #RAW 4/14/14, 10:08 PM |
 | dvewlsh Oh man this has turned stupid reaaaal quickly 4/14/14, 10:08 PM |
| thesteelcage Let's just pretend that didn't happen, k? #ExtremeRules build up starts... now! #RAW 4/14/14, 10:09 PM |
| thesteelcage John Cena vs Bray Wyatt inside @thesteelcage!!!! Yes, please. #ExtremeRules #RAW 4/14/14, 10:11 PM |
| loveablelinds Well that escalated quickly. 4/14/14, 10:11 PM |
| ahess49 Oh hai, @thesteelcage match 4/14/14, 10:11 PM |
| FaceVHeel Yea, listen to that crowd singing along with Bray...Cena really did a good job burying him.... 4/14/14, 10:12 PM |
 | LanceStorm Can we get Dewey Crowe for a cameo with the Wyatts please. #Justified #RAW 4/14/14, 10:12 PM |
| thesteelcage As a build up for #ExtremeRules Cena vs Wyatt, just watch Deliverance and Cape Fear back to back. #RAW 4/14/14, 10:13 PM |
| FaceVHeel Cena amps up his corny factor, which causes Bray to amp up his culty qualities. This is what we call a rub. 4/14/14, 10:14 PM |
9:56 pm Damien Sandow out talking to the crowd.
| FaceVHeel Sandow & a mic. yes. 4/14/14, 9:52 PM |
| FaceVHeel part of me really wants Show to do the job for Sandow but LOL...yea... 4/14/14, 9:53 PM |
| FaceVHeel Sandow is shooting right now, guys. 4/14/14, 9:54 PM |
| FaceVHeel This is a lot of talk for him just to get squashed... 4/14/14, 9:55 PM |
| ahess49 Poor Sandow 4/14/14, 9:56 PM |
9:49 pm Tournament talk on the app. And on Twitter:
| davidbix Oh, the horrible things Cesaro will be able to do to Rob Van Dam... #raw 4/14/14, 9:33 PM |
| loveablelinds I'll be humming the Real Americans theme for the rest of my life. It never leaves my head. 4/14/14, 9:39 PM |
| FaceVHeel I want Swagger & Cesaro to get a PPV match. Doesn't seem in the cards though 4/14/14, 9:41 PM |
| thesteelcage Swagger benefiting from Cesaro with "We the People" chants. That, or... Alabama. #RAW 4/14/14, 9:42 PM |
| davidbix Sheamus-Swagger is pretty good so far. Would like to see these guys have more matches together. #raw 4/14/14, 9:44 PM |
| ahess49 So, Swagger screws Cesaro, Barrett wins Tourney and IC Title. 4/14/14, 9:47 PM |
| FaceVHeel Didn't expect a Sheamus win...keeps hope alive for the Real Americans PPV match. 4/14/14, 9:47 PM |
| davidbix Sheamus has gotten awesome at hitting the Brogue Kick out of nowhere. Great timing on that finish. #raw 4/14/14, 9:47 PM |
| thesteelcage I'm sorry for being intrigued by that match. #RAW 4/14/14, 9:47 PM |
| FaceVHeel Um. did Sheamus actually hurt his ankle? 4/14/14, 9:48 PM |
| ahess49 @FaceVHeel No. It is a setup for easy Barrett victory, mark. 4/14/14, 9:49 PM |
More on Fandango and Summer Rae
 | WWEFandango .@RealSummerWWE you weren't complaining a week ago... #RAW 4/14/14, 9:43 PM |
9:33 pm Back from the break, and Triple H is telling Brad Maddox that the Shield are in the Main Event. Against who, or what, no one knows.
| loveablelinds I can't hate on Brad Maddox. He was nice to talk to. 4/14/14, 9:27 PM |
 | billibhatti Lana has music. Cesaro lost music. Back to pre-mania logic. #RAW 4/14/14, 9:28 PM |
| FaceVHeel I would like a Rusev-Cesaro match, please. 4/14/14, 9:31 PM |
 | WWEAaLLday21 #RusevBUL .... S-A-W-F-T #SAWFT!! 4/14/14, 9:32 PM |
By the way, Fandango and Summer Rae are still going through their breakup.
 | RealSummerWWE There isn't anything fresh about you, @WWEFandango. That haircut, those pants, that..."dancer?" Eww. #ItsSummerTime 4/14/14, 9:27 PM |
9:26 pm Just some final tweets on the last match.
| loveablelinds This commercial brings a little tear to my eye. 4/14/14, 9:23 PM |
| thesteelcage @ahess49 I don't entirely blame them for that last match. Heyman's presence makes it tough. 4/14/14, 9:22 PM |
| FaceVHeel Maybe Cesaro's going super old-school and just not having music? I like that. 4/14/14, 9:22 PM |
 | HaveTilFive Cesaro doesn't need theme music. #RAW 4/14/14, 9:22 PM |
9:22 pm And we're back from the break. Triple H meets with Ortista, "Told you."
| thesteelcage Loving the dynamic between Triple H, Orton, and Batista right now. Honestly. #RAW 4/14/14, 9:13 PM |
| loveablelinds Stop rubbing salt in my wounds, Paul Heyman. 4/14/14, 9:15 PM |
 | NoelleFoley Hey @HeymanHustle http://t.co/X5MTJpByQH 4/14/14, 9:15 PM |
| billibhatti So Cesaro didn't conquer 30 men? Not worth a mention? Really feel he didn't need to win battle royal now, if Heyman is his main rub anyway 4/14/14, 9:18 PM |
| FaceVHeel Mark Henry swinging Cesaro around. 4/14/14, 9:18 PM |
| thesteelcage Crowd seems unsure what to do. This is weird. #RAW RT @jksmlmf: I don't get it. Cesaro acknowledges crowd cheers. I'm so confused. 4/14/14, 9:20 PM |
| ahess49 This crowd is pretty lame train. Really, @wwe ...you chose Birmingham to follow the Raw after Mania? 4/14/14, 9:20 PM |
| FaceVHeel One word to describe this match: Power 4/14/14, 9:21 PM |
| thesteelcage Feats of Strength means Cesaro will get pops regardless of how much Heyman tries to get the crowd to boo. Odd dynamic. #RAW 4/14/14, 9:21 PM |
9:07 pm People still talking about the last match between Paige and Alicia Fox, and how much they hated the commentary.
| ahess49 @thesteelcage They (Paige and Alicia) are the best parts of #Raw so far BY FAR 4/14/14, 8:58 PM |
| thesteelcage Paige, Alicia Fox, and Bo Dallas are essentially trending worldwide right now. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. #RAW 4/14/14, 8:58 PM |
 | WWEZeb IS @RealPaigeWWE LEGAL??? HMMM...I MIGHT HAVE TO CHECK THAT OUT. @JCLayfield 4/14/14, 9:03 PM |
(temporary break for the following hilarious tweet)
 | RhettManuel Apparently if you post Bo Dallas cliches on Facebook, all the Facebook moms take them seriously and like your status. 4/14/14, 8:55 PM |
 | rawispsyniac Ultimate Uso face paint. That's what's up. #RAW 4/14/14, 9:01 PM |
| davidbix Should be interesting to see how Usos-Ortista is booked. Usos running wild so far. #raw 4/14/14, 9:02 PM |
| thesteelcage Ortista... or Boreton? What do we call them? #RAW 4/14/14, 9:02 PM |
| FaceVHeel The Shield are back to their ambushy ways. I love it. 4/14/14, 9:05 PM |
| ahess49 I BOlieve in the Shield. 4/14/14, 9:06 PM |
| davidbix Shield destroys Ex-Evolution. I love Orton & Batista: Random mid card heel team. #raw 4/14/14, 9:07 PM |
8:53 pm On the app, it appears to be a Paige promo package. Back on RAW, it's a Bo Dallas promo. Oh it's terrible, and I love it.
| _katierose13 GO AWAY BO 4/14/14, 8:47 PM |
| ahess49 I BOlieve! 4/14/14, 8:47 PM |
| FaceVHeel I wanted rip my hair out during that Bo Dalllas promo. Guess its working. 4/14/14, 8:48 PM |
| loveablelinds For the sake of the WWE, I hope they never admit that Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas are brothers. 4/14/14, 8:51 PM |
| LanceStorm Big fan of @RealPaigeWWE #RAW 4/14/14, 8:48 PM |
| _katierose13 Did AJ take her ball and go home? #RAW 4/14/14, 8:48 PM |
| rawispsyniac Alicia Fox. Enough said. #RAW 4/14/14, 8:49 PM |
| FaceVHeel Alicia vs Paige. An actual Divas WRESTLING match! 4/14/14, 8:49 PM |
| thesteelcage Alicia Fox. Queen of the tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. #RAW 4/14/14, 8:50 PM |
| thesteelcage We just saw three awesome tilt a whirl back breakers in a row and ZERO acknowledgement from the announce team. Give them credit, guys. #RAW 4/14/14, 8:51 PM |
| ahess49 That is a completely badass submission 4/14/14, 8:52 PM |
| FaceVHeel Alicia selling the fuck outta that cross lock. awesome. 4/14/14, 8:53 PM |
8:43 pm - Rybaxel v. Goldust + Cody Rhodes.
Goldberg chants.
| thesteelcage Birmingham, Alabama knows who Goldberg is. Good for them. #RAW 4/14/14, 8:38 PM |
 | 3ManBooth This match has 3 former Intercontinental Champions in it. and 1 The Ryback. 4/14/14, 8:38 PM |
| thesteelcage I want to love the Rhodes Bros, but WWE deemed them mostly irrelevant. Pitting them vs Rybaxel doesn't help. Eh, can't win em all. #RAW 4/14/14, 8:40 PM |
| thesteelcage Cody Rhodes is working his ass of tonight, though! Make the most of what you're given, for sure.. #RAW 4/14/14, 8:41 PM |
| loveablelinds Rybaxel might have the worst mixed theme in the history of WWE. 4/14/14, 8:41 PM |
| ahess49 What is this musical abortion?!? 4/14/14, 8:41 PM |
| thesteelcage LOL. Super awkward Rybaxel blended music. I kind of love it for sucking so hard. #RAW 4/14/14, 8:42 PM |
| FaceVHeel putting the tag straps on Rybaxel, not the worst idea. Promos alone would be hysterical. 4/14/14, 8:42 PM |
 | DAsharpshooters The RybaXel theme is hilarious. #wwe #Raw 4/14/14, 8:42 PM |
| thesteelcage Go home, Jim Johnston. You're drunk. #Rybaxel #RAW 4/14/14, 8:43 PM |
8:35 pm - Everyone on Twitter talking about the bad WWE + Toys 'R Us commercial. Moving on.
The meeting, Triple H telling Randy and Dave that The Shield need to be dealt with. "If the three of us are on the same page, you know as well as I do, nobody ... can stop us."
| loveablelinds #BringBackFlair #Evolution 4/14/14, 8:34 PM |
| ahess49 SHIELD > Evolution 4/14/14, 8:34 PM |
| FaceVHeel aww, No Evolution reunion. 4/14/14, 8:34 PM |
8:27 pm - B roll from last week, I believe to heighten The Shield v. Triple H. Which, sounds like exactly what I wrote earlier regarding the pre-show.
Now Randy and Batista meeting with Stephanie and Triple H. Silent, just showing the meeting taking place. And we're back to more Warrior tribute.
8:24 pm - Up now, first match in the IC tournament. Del Rio v. RVD.
| ahess49 ADR gets the jobber entrance for the tourney? Ouch. 4/14/14, 8:11 PM |
| FaceVHeel aww, ADR w/ the jobber entrance....and no flags. 4/14/14, 8:11 PM |
| loveablelinds How does Del Rio always get stuck wrestling the same people? He's stuck on repeat. 4/14/14, 8:12 PM |
| thesteelcage I never want to hear Michael Cole read Big E's tweets again. #RAW 4/14/14, 8:15 PM |
| rawispsyniac Turning this into Swagger/Cesaro is a waste. They should screw each other in bracket one. That story writes itself sans-belt #RAW 4/14/14, 8:20 PM |
| _katierose13 is it done yet? please be done. #RAW 4/14/14, 8:20 PM |
| FaceVHeel brutal match. 4/14/14, 8:22 PM |
8:06 pm - All the superstars out to pay tribute to The Ultimate Warrior, as they roll the video montage.

7:58 pm - Talk of the 8-man intercontinental championship tournament (for #1 contender)

7:48 pm - Recapping Cena v. Wyatt. I can't help but remind people that Bray Wyatt wears a "trilby," not a fedora.
| thesteelcage I am officially in the "SmackDown doesn't exist" demographic this week. Too busy over the weekend. #RAW 4/14/14, 7:45 PM |
| thesteelcage Bray Wyatt is burying Cena's #WrestleMania win and it's awesome. #MindGames #RAW 4/14/14, 7:46 PM |
| thesteelcage .@WWEJoshMathews comparing Wyatt / Cena to Sgt Slaughter / Hogan. That's why they pay him the (big) bucks! #RAW 4/14/14, 7:47 PM |
7:42 pm - The guys are building up The Shield v. Triple H. Meanwhile, acknowledging in the background that Superstars is being taped as Big E wins over Titus O'Neil.
Apparently, later Paige will be on RAW, which makes sense considering what a big deal her arrival and win over AJ Lee was.
