WWE RAW Live-Blog 2014.4.21
10:17PM having trouble again with the live blog, moving on to a "Part 2" post.
10:08 PM On to Rob Van Dam v. Cesaro.
Boos are coming out against the people who are cheering for "RVD."
The match continues in break on the app, where Paul Heyman is talking to the guys at the announce table. Cesaro with a good drop kick. Something I don't see him even do often. And back to USA.
And out comes Jack Swagger to throw off Cesaro. Van Dam tries to take advantage, but Cesaro catches him. Action outside the ring now. Swagger, still is able to hit Cesaro into the ring post while the ref isn't watching. The ref counts out Cesaro, and Rob Van Dam is your winner.
9:51 PM John Cena tlaks with Renee Young, and out come the half cheers and half jeers.
Meanwhile, Cesaro's out, and so is his new theme, that has a very prevalent siren in it.
Meanwhile, Paul Heyman is talking ... and. ... commercial? What? Huh?
On the app, Paul Heyman keeps yelling about Brock Lesnar breaking the Undertaker's streak. This is how they're filling the commerical.
I wonder if this will ever get to a weird point. Finally, Heyman gets cut off. RvD Comes out, and we'll have our match in the intercontinental tournament with Rob Van Dam v. Cesaro.
9:39 PM It's Layla v. Emma now.
So much hate on Layla. And Emma pulls out a sock of her own. And Cobras Layla! LOL
I'm pretty sure they will separate the two soon enough. Hopefuly it doesn't involve anything heel-ish.
In other news:
9:33 PM Cody's wife on the match:
On the app, Emma and Santino are interviewed. Love those two.
9:29 PM Rybaxel are out to commentate on the upcoming tag teacm match between the Usos and Goldust & Cody Rhodes.
The Usos win off a superkick Cody didn't see coming thanks to Cody not knowing another brother was tagged in. And Cody huffs off away from Goldust. While this happens, Rybaxel come in to attack The Usos.
9:17 PM On the WWE App, the Goldust and Cody Rhodes are interviewed. They'll face the Usos tonight.
Others on twitter are talking about Adam Rose as they just showed another promo of his:
9:11 PM Evolution showed up in a limo as we head to break.
Back from break, and out comes Evolution.
Every time I see these guys together, I just think, "Dudes, we're getting the band back together." Also, I think Triple H is sick.
They're showing old Evolution b-roll. I can see why this is so cool. Nothing is cooler than showing a bunch guys being whores with women in a night club, inter-spliced with half-naked man contact. I can see why Katie Donaldson loves this.
And out comes the Shield.
The Shield challenge, but almost all the heel wrestlers come out to stand with Evolution. So, everyone just stands around.
Seth Rollins screaming, "You got two weeks!"
By the way, more El Torito stuff:
8:55 PM
And we're back with Los Matadores entering the ring. Oh dear, it's a six man tag including El Torito. Facing 3MB's Ginder Mahal, Drew McIntyre, and Hornswoggle.
Oh no, El Torito "bull-rode" Hornswoggle again. :: sigh ::
No Renee, not you too. Anyway, Los Matadores win. Whatever.
8:47 PM Bray Wyatt doing some talk/promo in the arena. "Tonight would be a wonderful night for change."
Bray: "The Truth is we stand against you." Ugh, he has so many people on board with that one. Poor, John
"They do not love you anymore, John." Damn, they're just picking on Cena now. "Won't they sing with me?" Holy crap, he's playing into the fact that the WWE crowd likes him!
And commercial.
8:43 PM On the app, Damien Sandow still complaining about his value to the company. And he's calling out Ziggler. Why? Because I wasn't paying attention due to my typing this. Sandow is calling Dolph a leech.
By the way, people are starting to bust Heyman's twitter chops about how he keeps tweeting how Brock beat the tweet.
And in terms of promos, Bo Dallas is killing it.
8:36 PM And we continue on with the intercontinental championship tournament. Wade Barrett (I refuse to call him ONLY Bad News Barret) and Sheamus.
By the way, Taz is apparently starting a live blog/radio (assuming will be available as podcast later) show starting tonight after RAW. I can't think of anyone else who I would rather NOT here than Taz.
The crowd is half and half cheering between Sheamus and Barrett. Once again, much like Cena v. Cena-sucks, you can tell the difference between hopeful children, and men who cannot financially afford to leave their parents' basements.
Sheamus and Barrett having a decent match. Sheamus even mocking Barrett's "boom" while he puts "White Noise" on him.
Wade Barrett wins with a bull hammer. And as you an see above, those in the know wanted him to win.
And in the annals of "Too-Soon," Billi comes in with an entry.
Surprised at that tweet ^^
8:21 PM
Steph is in the ring holding the belts being a real bitch. "Ladies and gentlemen, your champion, Daniel Bryan." In that real condescending voice.
8:15 PM Daniel Bryan and Brie come out for some celebration. Are apparently interrupted by Steph, who is then itnerrupted by Kane, who has thoroughly destroyed Daniel Bryan.
10:08 PM On to Rob Van Dam v. Cesaro.
 | Cap_Kaveman Did @HeymanHustle's client Brock Lesnar defeat the Undertaker? This is the first I'm hearing of this. #RAW 4/21/14, 9:52 PM |
 | FaceVHeel Whew.....RVD looks horrible, 3 botched spots already. 4/21/14, 9:53 PM |
 | thesteelcage Cesaro is strangely gifted at making poor timing and awkward ring chemistry look not so bad. Good match with RVD, then. #RAW 4/21/14, 9:53 PM |
 | DylanWaco Rvd is working awkwardly with Cesaro. Time to never wrestle again 4/21/14, 9:53 PM |
| FaceVHeel RVD clearly did not use his vape yesterday and opted for the one-hitter. #gassed 4/21/14, 9:54 PM (4/20 joke) |
| thesteelcage How long does weed stay in your system? It's 4/21, you guys. Someone let RVD know. #RAW 4/21/14, 9:55 PM |
 | mypwaccount Rob has gotten very slow. Big ups to what the man has done in his career but it's probably best for him to call it a career now. 4/21/14, 10:01 PM |
| FaceVHeel Guess RVD needed a few minutes to warm-up. Less botchy now. 4/21/14, 10:03 PM |
 | mare_bare i had a feeling this was going to happen. this way its cesaro swags at extreme rules. continues feud. #RAW 4/21/14, 10:04 PM |
| thesteelcage RVD looks like he's going to pass out from exhaustion. What a joke. #RAW 4/21/14, 10:05 PM |
| FaceVHeel Cesaro/Swagger at Extreme Rules! YAY! 4/21/14, 10:05 PM |
9:51 PM John Cena tlaks with Renee Young, and out come the half cheers and half jeers.
Meanwhile, Cesaro's out, and so is his new theme, that has a very prevalent siren in it.
 | HEELWrestling This is fucking weird. It's like five genres in one song. 4/21/14, 9:45 PM |
| HEELWrestling This is fucking weird. It's like five genres in one song. 4/21/14, 9:45 PM |
 | davidbix Cesaro has new music...it's a siren and then generic rock. With sirens. Hooray. #RAW 4/21/14, 9:45 PM |
 | ahess49 Wow. This new Cesaro music is baaaaaaad 4/21/14, 9:45 PM
|
 | Superjew75 Cesaro's new music sucks so bad it could kill his momentum with the fans more than HHH ever buried anybody. #Raw 4/21/14, 9:46 PM |
| FaceVHeel um, going to commercial during a Heyman promo? Shit move, WWE 4/21/14, 9:47 PM |
| thesteelcage Uhhh. Why did Heyman just get cut off by a Godzilla commercial? Cue the air raid sirens again? #RAW 4/21/14, 9:47 PM |
| mare_bare DID THEY REALLY JUST GO TO BREAK IN THE MIDDLE OF PAUL HEYMAN SPEAKING?! WTF @WWE GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT! #RAW 4/21/14, 9:47 PM |
| thesteelcage Kevin Dunn sneezed and hit the wrong button. #RAW 4/21/14, 9:48 PM |
| FaceVHeel Kevin Dunn now has more heat than Steph. You do not cut off Heyman. 4/21/14, 9:49 PM |
9:39 PM It's Layla v. Emma now.

| HEELWrestling Love Emma's new ring gear. 4/21/14, 9:35 PM |
| FaceVHeel I am probably the lone person that like Emma being paired w/ Santino. 4/21/14, 9:34 PM |
| ahess49 C'mon Layla pratfall... 4/21/14, 9:35 PM |
| FaceVHeel EMMA COBRA!!!!!!!!!!!! 4/21/14, 9:36 PM |
| mare_bare OH FUCK NO THEY JUST MURDERED EMMA. OFFICIALLY DO NOT CARE. SORRY EMMA. #RAW 4/21/14, 9:37 PM |
| ahess49 The Emma/Santino thing needs to end 4/21/14, 9:37 PM |
| HEELWrestling This is getting a bit rapey. 4/21/14, 9:37 PM |
| FaceVHeel *searches wwe shop for Emma Cobra* 4/21/14, 9:37 PM |
| _katierose13 ...can we separate emma from santino now? 4/21/14, 9:38 PM |
| FaceVHeel Emma & Santino are great. All you grumps need to suck it. 4/21/14, 9:38 PM |
 | TheDamienSandow I am sure the stooge sites will eat @HEELZiggler up, but in the ring so will I . #:) 4/21/14, 9:34 PM |
9:33 PM Cody's wife on the match:
 | RealEdenWWE Well if @Goldust would have been there for the save he wouldn't have gotten shoved like that. Cody was justified. Just saying... #Raw 4/21/14, 9:29 PM |
| FaceVHeel @thesteelcage @ahess49 oh come on guys, you know it'll be the pre-show at Payback 4/21/14, 9:30 PM (to the inevitable Rhodes brothers match) |
 | SCOTTHALLNWO Thanks to Ryback for the shout out....#HeyYo 4/21/14, 9:32 PM |
9:29 PM Rybaxel are out to commentate on the upcoming tag teacm match between the Usos and Goldust & Cody Rhodes.
| HEELWrestling Remember when Ryback used to commentate in a leather jacket and just bury everybody? Good times. 4/21/14, 9:20 PM |
| ahess49 What's worse, the team name or the music? 4/21/14, 9:20 PM |
| FaceVHeel Rybaxel on commentary...gold. 4/21/14, 9:20 PM |
| ahess49 Ryback on fiyah 4/21/14, 9:23 PM |
| thesteelcage All right, time to inject some life back into the WWE Tag Team Championship.. right? #RAW 4/21/14, 9:23 PM |
| FaceVHeel Um, a bit awkward for you to bring up Mr.Perfect drinking alcohol RIGHT in front of his son, Ryan. 4/21/14, 9:25 PM |
| FaceVHeel RHODES BROTHERS BREAK UP NOOOOOOOOOO 4/21/14, 9:27 PM |
| thesteelcage Ryback should take The Miz's spot on #MainEvent commentary. #RAW 4/21/14, 9:27 PM |
| mare_bare UH OH AND IT STARTS #RAW 4/21/14, 9:27 PM |
| ahess49 Well, here we go for Summer Slam, Cody as the heel v Goldust. Should be money. 4/21/14, 9:27 PM |
| thesteelcage NOW? Now they decide to move forward with a Rhodes Bros split? Weird. #RAW 4/21/14, 9:27 PM |
| FaceVHeel Ryback actually added constructive things to commentary... 4/21/14, 9:27 PM |
 | JohnStevensLOL Ryback's commentary > The match #RAW 4/21/14, 9:26 PM |
| thesteelcage Weird that Ryback on commentary + a hilariously horrific theme song mashup could be what gets Rybaxel over in the tag division. #RAW 4/21/14, 9:28 PM |
9:17 PM On the WWE App, the Goldust and Cody Rhodes are interviewed. They'll face the Usos tonight.
Others on twitter are talking about Adam Rose as they just showed another promo of his:

 | NotThatTomGreen If this is 3 & 1/2 MB, when will Hornswoggle quit the show due to a religious disagreement? #RAW 4/21/14, 8:54 PM |
 | AliceRadley I'm going to give this segment a pass because Mascarita Dorada is a very talented guy. 4/21/14, 8:55 PM |
8:55 PM
| FaceVHeel It is going to suck when the ATF burns down the Wyatt compound. 4/21/14, 8:49 PM |
| FaceVHeel Hornswoggle/Torito 2! YES! BETTER THAN FLAIR/STEAMBOAT 4/21/14, 8:50 PM |
 | Wrestling_Memes SWOGGLES GONNA SWOG 4/21/14, 8:50 PM |

| thesteelcage Loving those spotlights coming up from under the stage on Harper and Rowan's faces. #RAW 4/21/14, 8:45 PM |

8:43 PM On the app, Damien Sandow still complaining about his value to the company. And he's calling out Ziggler. Why? Because I wasn't paying attention due to my typing this. Sandow is calling Dolph a leech.
By the way, people are starting to bust Heyman's twitter chops about how he keeps tweeting how Brock beat the tweet.
| davidbix @HeymanHustle but did your client Brock Lesnar conquer the streak? 4/21/14, 8:39 PM |
 | WrasslorMonkey EAT. SLEEP. DREAM. BOLIEVE. 4/21/14, 8:40 PM |

8:36 PM And we continue on with the intercontinental championship tournament. Wade Barrett (I refuse to call him ONLY Bad News Barret) and Sheamus.
 | Stuttsy Pyro for Barrett is an encouraging sign that there are at least short term plans for him. 4/21/14, 8:22 PM |
| thesteelcage Barrett's "BOOM!!!!" >>>>>>>>> Kofi's "Boom! Boom! Boom!" #LessIsMore #RAW 4/21/14, 8:22 PM |

| thesteelcage Wasn't Sheamus injured last week, or something...? No? Pretending that didn't happen? Okay, then. #RAW 4/21/14, 8:24 PM |
| thesteelcage Sheamus doing his signature beatdown move in the ropes from the apron to avoid a 5 count now? Was the ref counting? Would be clever. #RAW 4/21/14, 8:30 PM |
| thesteelcage Sheamus with a loud "BOOM!" before White Noise. Such a heel. #RAW 4/21/14, 8:32 PM (obviously a little joke from Josh) |
| thesteelcage Legit jumped up at that two count. Let's go, @WadeBarrett!!! #RAW 4/21/14, 8:32 PM |
And in the annals of "Too-Soon," Billi comes in with an entry.
 | billibhatti Daniel Bryan & his Dad both getting a Tombstone on the same day. Bad day for the Danielson family. #RAW 4/21/14, 8:33 PM (Daniel's dad passed away earlier today for those who didn't know.) |
| _katierose13 ...I'll take it 4/21/14, 8:34 PM |
| ahess49 Fantastic! Great start to #Raw. Awesome opening segment and a good match with an exciting finish. 4/21/14, 8:34 PM |

 | BookerT5x That was an explosive start to #RAW! @KaneWWE is back and he unleashed on D-Bry #WWE 4/21/14, 8:16 PM |
 | Jabotism Well Daniel, at least he didn't electrocute your balls like he did Shane. #RAW 4/21/14, 8:14 PM |
| thesteelcage Well, #RAW is off to a HOT start! Literally.. Kane.. with the fire, and.. y'know.. 4/21/14, 8:17 PM |
| ahess49 @thesteelcage Going to use your free flight for Extreme Rules now? :-p 4/21/14, 8:18 PM |
| FaceVHeel Did Kane seem repentant sitting on table or was he just gassed? Seemed to hang his head walking the ramp too. 4/21/14, 8:21 PM |
8:15 PM Daniel Bryan and Brie come out for some celebration. Are apparently interrupted by Steph, who is then itnerrupted by Kane, who has thoroughly destroyed Daniel Bryan.
| thesteelcage Instant big time money match at #ExtremeRules based on this segment alone. I'm all in on Daniel Bryan vs Kane. #RAW 4/21/14, 8:12 PM |

| FaceVHeel So, Kane/Bryan is gonna be a stretcher match? 4/21/14, 8:11 PM |
| FaceVHeel Does Kane having a hearing problem? 4/21/14, 8:12 PM |
| ahess49 Good way to give Bryan time off and have Kane appear a credible threat. Kudos. 4/21/14, 8:10 PM |
| davidbix And a third tombstone doesn't break the announcers' table. At least Kane is professional enough that it probably didn't matter. #RAW 4/21/14, 8:14 PM |
