WWE RAW LIVE-BLOG 2014.4.28
x:xx PM Out comes Randy Orton flanked by Batista and Triple H.
Ric Flair's music hits.
I wonder how long this might drag on. And Flair endorses The Shield.
So far, two minutes, Orton in control in this match against Roman Reigns. And it breaks down everywhere, as expected, and the bell is run into a no-contest, I assume.
The Sheild was in the middle of a beat down, but rallied back to save face very well against Evolution. Pretty good stuff.
That closes me out tonight. I'll see you all next week.
10:50 PM Roman Reigns v. Randy Orton is up next, with their fellow members (that doesn't sound right) on attendance.
10:48 PM Rob Van Dam v. Wade Barrett next.
So far, Wade Barrett in control. 50/50 chants for the competitors in the ring.
Barrett wins under dubious circumstances as Swagger and Cesaro create some distraction outside the ring.
10:30PM Cena seems back to his old self. Believing that any excitement he brings to the WWE (booing, or cheering) is a good thing.
Wade Barrett does a little promo explaining that Rob Van Dam is old and irrelevant.
10:18 PM
On the app, coverage of Cole and Paige's interview is played. And then cut off because we're back live on RAW for her match against Brie.
Kane coming out/through the ring, beats up Daniel, goes for Brie, but DB comes back and breaks it up. I should have known this was going to happen. I should have seen Kane's pyro set up in the ring.
10:09 PM Stephanie McMahon coming out to the ring now. Reportedly to apologize to Daniel Bryan.
Out comes Daniel Bryan in a neck brace.
Steph saying that Kane's mask is locked up. Like that holds his power? Steph gives Brie a match against Paige as a show of good faith?
And then we cut to a clip of Kane's mask missing from its case.
9:55 PM On the app, 3MB does a promo for a match against Los Matadores. I really think the wrestlers in 3MB are great, I just wish I knew of a way to push them without making it a COMPLETE comedy match.
By the way:
Back to 3MB v. Los Matadores - Good to see Heath Slater wrestling again. Some craziness happens outside, and Heath Slater gets the pin. Slater's finisher is great.
9:44 PM Up next is Rusev v. Xavier Woods. People love Lana. I want to not make a big deal about it, but at the same time, I feel it necessary to balance out the fact that I still don't understand why they have to in underwear.
R-Truth comes in to break up the match, and they do some mild beating up (just to get him out of the ring) on Rusev.
9:35 PM Up on RAW, Cody Rhodes takes on Alberto Del Rio. Cody Rhodes loses fairly convincingly. Pretty straight forward match.
9:26 PM
Back live, and Swagger is headed out (with Zeb/Dutch Mantel). And out comes Paul Heyman. I think they're cutting out Paul's mic as he does his Lesnar-beat-the-streak-thing again.
Onto the match: Cesar wins by Paul Heyman distracting Swagger by grabbing Zeb's mustache.
9:09 PM On the app, Byron talks with his good buddy, Xavier Woods. He'll be taking on Rusev later. I assume he'll narrowly avoid death. If he wins (don't worry, he won't), people will complain that Rusev is being buried. If Woods wins by a roll up, or something sneaky like that, then maybe it will setup for a PPV match where Woods will be put through a table, or set on fire.
Back live on RAW, Dolph is out. Promo-ing Hugh Jackman's latest X-Men jaunt. I'm assuming Damien Sandow will come out soon.
And out comes in Sandow is a sweatshirt-Magneto-costume.
Hugh Jackman hip tosses Damien Sandow, and this is all thankfully over.
8:53 PM Eff it, on the app, they're talking to Alex Riley et.al about NXT's next big event, NXT Takeover.
Obligatory, Adam Rose tweet:
Back on RAW, Titus O'Neil comes out to attack Sheamus.
Maybe this will be part of some Titus O'Neil push. Brogue kick out of nowhere! And Sheamus wins! LOL
8:46 PM Here is a reaction from the Usos' match:
We're back from break to Paul Heyman talking to Cesaro. And into a video review of last week's Kane-on-Daniel-Bryan beat down.
Lots of people are also talking about Adam Rose's imminent debut on next week's RAW.
8:37 PM Usos face "Rybaxel"for the tag team championship.
Looks like an Uso is hurt. Waiting to come back from commercial now.
And back and forth this goes. Jey Uso really doing a great job on his own here. The Usos end up winning!
I'm doing some work on my server tonight. So I might stay away from the Live Video on the app during the commercial breaks.
8:15 PM Here we are for another live-blog of Monday Night Raw. We start with a recap of Cena and the Wyatt's battle. Wonder if this will headline the Extreme Rules Pay Per View. I'll try and keep the embedded tweets to a minimum. Hoping it will allow for not gaving to to a second post.
They're lowering the steel cage. Wyat and Cena's match will be in some steel cage.
And out comes John Cena.
John Cena wondering why the crowd loves Bray Wyatt. "When he speaks, it's beautiful." High praise.
 | ahess49 Lol. I just figured out why Orton is in this match. There is no fucking way you are making Randy wear pants 2 weeks in a row. 4/28/14, 10:57 PM |

The Sheild was in the middle of a beat down, but rallied back to save face very well against Evolution. Pretty good stuff.
That closes me out tonight. I'll see you all next week.

So far, Wade Barrett in control. 50/50 chants for the competitors in the ring.

| mare_bare FUUCKKKK YES!!!!! #RAW 4/28/14, 10:46 PM |
| HEELWrestling There's no way Barrett doesn't win. All the focus on the tournament and the contenders, I don't think Big E has cut more than one promo. 4/28/14, 10:46 PM |
10:30PM Cena seems back to his old self. Believing that any excitement he brings to the WWE (booing, or cheering) is a good thing.
| loveablelinds We are back to corny jokes Cena. 4/28/14, 10:27 PM |
| HEELWrestling John staaaaahp. 4/28/14, 10:27 PM |
 | zazzumplop Why would they ever decide to give Cena the last word? Let Wyatt's choir tell the story. 4/28/14, 10:27 PM |
| thesteelcage Now that's an Intercontinental Championship podium for @WadeBarrett! #BadNewsBarrett #BNB #ExtremeRules #RAW 4/28/14, 10:29 PM |

Kane coming out/through the ring, beats up Daniel, goes for Brie, but DB comes back and breaks it up. I should have known this was going to happen. I should have seen Kane's pyro set up in the ring.
 | KatieLinendoll Every child in America watching #WWE #RAW tonight is not sleeping for multiple reasons ...and we still have 45 mins left 4/28/14, 10:17 PM |
| HEELWrestling Must be weird working a three-hour show where there's basically a hole in the ring for the entire thing. 4/28/14, 10:17 PM |
| FaceVHeel Old School Kane is back. Love it. 4/28/14, 10:17 PM |
 | KeepItFiveStar *Brie Bella screams for help as Kane corners her. Meanwhile, Nikki Bella is backstage reading a magazine pretending not to hear her* 4/28/14, 10:17 PM |
| HEELWrestling I genuinely thought the show just finished. Goddamnit. 4/28/14, 10:17 PM |
10:09 PM Stephanie McMahon coming out to the ring now. Reportedly to apologize to Daniel Bryan.
| _katierose13 what kind of dress is that steph? 4/28/14, 9:59 PM |
 | davidbix Is Brie YES!ing for Bryan because he's injured? #RAW 4/28/14, 10:01 PM |
And then we cut to a clip of Kane's mask missing from its case.
| mare_bare OH NO THE MASK IS GONE! DUN-DUN-DUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNN!!!!! #RAW 4/28/14, 10:09 PM |
9:55 PM On the app, 3MB does a promo for a match against Los Matadores. I really think the wrestlers in 3MB are great, I just wish I knew of a way to push them without making it a COMPLETE comedy match.
By the way:
| KeepItFiveStar Remember when Titus O'Neil got upset at Darren Young for losing in 2 minutes? ...I think someone owes his former tag partner an apology. 4/28/14, 8:52 PM |
| thesteelcage Heath Slater just got a clean pinfall on #RAW!!! Yeah, babay!!! 4/28/14, 9:53 PM |
 | JaimsVanDerBeek Holy Shit. 3 M B Wins!!!! 4/28/14, 9:54 PM |
| davidbix I'm genuinely curious if the WeeLC match is booked as comedy or a Torito showcase #RAW 4/28/14, 9:54 PM |
9:44 PM Up next is Rusev v. Xavier Woods. People love Lana. I want to not make a big deal about it, but at the same time, I feel it necessary to balance out the fact that I still don't understand why they have to in underwear.
R-Truth comes in to break up the match, and they do some mild beating up (just to get him out of the ring) on Rusev.
| ahess49 It's a shame Lana was wearing tape 4/28/14, 9:43 PM |
| thesteelcage Seriously.. what was the point of that? I mean, I guess we got a @LanaWWE appearance. That's always a good thing, but still.. #RAW 4/28/14, 9:44 PM |
9:35 PM Up on RAW, Cody Rhodes takes on Alberto Del Rio. Cody Rhodes loses fairly convincingly. Pretty straight forward match.
| mare_bare Del Rio has been on a losing streak and they make cody tap. SMH #RAW 4/28/14, 9:35 PM |
| FaceVHeel They're really slow-burning this Rhodes Brother feud. 4/28/14, 9:35 PM |
9:26 PM
| thesteelcage We've had 1.25 matches on #RAW so far tonight, folks. 4/28/14, 9:14 PM |
| ahess49 @thesteelcage It's a go home show. What do you expect., 4/28/14, 9:15 PM |
| zazzumplop Cesaro's music is there to remind all Europeans what it was like when the Nazis were bombing them. 4/28/14, 9:20 PM |
9:09 PM On the app, Byron talks with his good buddy, Xavier Woods. He'll be taking on Rusev later. I assume he'll narrowly avoid death. If he wins (don't worry, he won't), people will complain that Rusev is being buried.

Back live on RAW, Dolph is out. Promo-ing Hugh Jackman's latest X-Men jaunt. I'm assuming Damien Sandow will come out soon.
| ahess49 Has anything happened in the last 35 minutes? 4/28/14, 9:03 PM |
| mare_bare OH MY GOD WHAT IS DAMIEN SANDOW DOING OMG I LOVE IT. #RAW 4/28/14, 9:04 PM |
| HEELWrestling WHAT JUST OCCURRED? 4/28/14, 9:03 PM |
| ahess49 Sandow deserves better 4/28/14, 9:04 PM |
| FaceVHeel This would be a lot funnier if we hadn't seen Sandow wrestle his ass off against Cena last year.. 4/28/14, 9:06 PM |
8:53 PM Eff it, on the app, they're talking to Alex Riley et.al about NXT's next big event, NXT Takeover.
Obligatory, Adam Rose tweet:
 | WWEAdamRose All aboard the #ExoticExpress! I hope all my #Rosebuds are ready! The party rolls onto #RAW next week! ChooChoo 4/28/14, 8:48 PM |
| HEELWrestling Nah who am I kidding, this is great except we all know Sheamus will beat the shit out of him on a PPV pre-show or something. 4/28/14, 8:51 PM |
| thesteelcage #SealBarks RT @TitusONeilWWE: I'm done taking No for an answer!!! &Playtime is OVER!! @WWE #RAW #WitnessTheRise 4/28/14, 8:51 PM |
| ahess49 Sheamus is the worst 4/28/14, 8:52 PM |
| mare_bare BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT WAS THAT?!!! #18seconds #RAW 4/28/14, 8:52 PM |
8:46 PM Here is a reaction from the Usos' match:
 | solomonster Fun match, Usos are killing it lately. Do they defend on Sunday? If so, against who? #Raw 4/28/14, 8:36 PM |
Lots of people are also talking about Adam Rose's imminent debut on next week's RAW.
8:37 PM Usos face "Rybaxel"for the tag team championship.
 | SmkeAndMirrors I still think Rybaxel sounds like an antidepressant. 4/28/14, 8:24 PM |
And back and forth this goes. Jey Uso really doing a great job on his own here. The Usos end up winning!
| FaceVHeel Rybaxel lose to a tag team w/ an injured member. #burial. 4/28/14, 8:35 PM |
| thesteelcage Nice match to kick off the in ring action on #RAW tonight. Kudos to @WWEUsos @Ryback22 @RealCurtisAxel 4/28/14, 8:36 PM |
8:15 PM Here we are for another live-blog of Monday Night Raw. We start with a recap of Cena and the Wyatt's battle. Wonder if this will headline the Extreme Rules Pay Per View. I'll try and keep the embedded tweets to a minimum. Hoping it will allow for not gaving to to a second post.
They're lowering the steel cage. Wyat and Cena's match will be in some steel cage.
| thesteelcage Bray Wyatt is succeeding where Kane and his welder's mask failed. #RiseAboveHate #RAW 4/28/14, 8:02 PM |
| thesteelcage Bray Wyatt set the bar high for a promo within @thesteelcage. Cena's turn as we kick off #RAW tonight. We'll see.. 4/28/14, 8:03 PM |
| FaceVHeel OH SHIT JOHN CENA QUOTING HARVEY DENT! 4/28/14, 8:07 PM |
Cena gets cut off by kids singing "Whole World In His Hands." And it's a choir of them singing on the stage.
| loveablelinds That look on Cena's face is him realizing the children are turning against him. 4/28/14, 8:12 PM |
Just trust me when I say that all of Twitter is loving this.
| thesteelcage Little did I know I was singing for Bray Wyatt in Sunday school all those years ago... #RAW 4/28/14, 8:12 PM |
Man, they're surrounding the ring now. So weird, in a good way. This is great effect. And now they're done singing and the kids are wearing creepy goat-face masks. Sweet!
