Results Below!:

WWE Raw results:

– The show opened with Seth Rollins addressing what happened on last week’s episode. He accepts a match with Randy Orton at WrestleMania under one condition: that Orton faces him on Raw tonight. Orton says he knows it’ll be 5-on-1, but accepts.

1. Nikki Bella defeated AJ Lee. Brie Bella and Paige fought on the outside, causing a distraction and allowing Nikki to forearm and Rack Attack AJ for the win.

2. Ryback defeated The Miz. Miz said he’d fire Damien Mizdow if he lost the match. During the match, Mizdow teased hitting Miz, but didn’t. Ryback won with Shell Shocked.

– Rusev and John Cena participated in a contract signing for WrestleMania. Rusev insulted America (as he does) and Cena didn’t like it. Rusev flipped the table and bailed, leaving Cena on edge and confused as the Russian flag unfurled above him.

3. Cesaro and Tyson Kidd defeated The New Day. Cesaro rolled up Kofi Kingston after a ducked Trouble In Paradise that hit Kidd. After the match, Los Matadores got involved and attacked both teams.

4. Big Show defeated Erick Rowan (?) Show dominated Rowan but there wasn’t a pinfall. The match just ended after Show hit an elbow off the second rope.

– Larry Zbyszko was announced as the next entrant into the WWE Hall of Fame.

– Paul Heyman cut another anti-Roman Reigns promo. He was interrupted by Reigns himself, who says he can and will defeat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.

– Mark Henry won an impromptu battle royal featuring several of the competitors in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania, last eliminating Curtis Axel.

5. Dean Ambrose, Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler defeated Stardust, Luke Harper and Bad News Barrett. Ambrose pinned Barrett with Dirty Deeds. After the match, more “everybody’s trying to steal the Intercontinental Championship” shenanigans occurred.

– Bray Wyatt did another pre-taped promo about the Undertaker.

– Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins never happened. Throughout the night, various backstage interviews and moments showed The Authority giving up on Rollins, being angry at him and sometimes quitting outright. This turned out to be a plan to lure Orton into a false sense of security, as the entire Authority (including Triple H) came to the ring to attack him. Just before the attack began, the lights went out and Sting appeared beside Orton. Sting and Orton fought off the Authority to end the show.

I gave it a five. As in the previous week, it was a really weak show for being two weeks before Wrestlemania. Also, like last week, it was carried by the last segment.

I liked:

The whole IC Title Melee
Sting's appearance at the end
Los Matadores new outfits
The look on Mizdow's face when Miz lost

I didn't like:

The idiotic Authority story line. It was blatantly transparent from the beginning that this was a setup by Rollins and the Authority. The fact that Randy Orton fell for it was a severe insult to his character.

Starting with a weak Diva's match

Rowan vs Show was snore worthy

The whole Rusev lawyer thing

Honestly, if it wasn't for the IC title melee and Sting's appearance at the end, I would have given this show a 2. There is no reason a show this close to Wrestlemania should have been as weak and dull as this one was.

Sounds like a show I'd see during the late year lull-period, not the RTWM. Very underwhelming build

I saw maybe an hour of the show as I was bored to death and fell asleep several times, I might rewatch it but maybe it's not worth my time.

I think I'll just watch the video highlights on YouTube lol

I liked Ryback vs The Miz, John Cena and Rusev contract signing and Sting's appearance.

Why'd they air a SmackDown episode on Monday? LOL
- There goes my hope of them stepping it up a notch two weeks prior to WM.
This one was such a lackluster... It doesn't really feel like a WM season. 4/10

Positives:
- Liked the Lesnar video. Prolly the only thing I liked in the first hour or so of the show.
- Heyman was splendid as usual. Reigns' promo was aight.
- DB, DZ & Ambrose vs BNB, Harper & Stardust was decent, as well as that post-match segment.
- Orton & Sting beating down The Authority members in the final segment.

Negatives:
- The openning segment was a yawn fest. Instead of talking for 10-15 minutes, they should've just had Rollins acting furious for what Orton did to him last week, call him out and then do whatever you want, accept the challenge for WM or whatever. It was boring as hell this way. Also, what a way to be [HASHTAG]#CaptainObvious[/HASHTAG] with the whole 'Authority falling apart only to reunite later on' storyline, WWE. lol
- Ryback vs The Miz was garbage. The look on Mizdow's face when Miz lost was priceless, though.
- TK & Cesaro vs The New Day was meh, boring.
- Show vs Rowan was garbage. A total waste of time.
- What the hell was up with that impromptu Battle Royal? lol

The 'I don't give a toss' about this segment:
- Skipped the divas match.
- Skipped Cena/Rusev segment.

Orton & Sting was probably the only thing that caught my attention, and the only thing that will most likely put it above the SmackDown episodes on the RTWM.

It was pretty boring. Outside the 6 man tag and Heyman/Lesnar promo nothing is bearable. The Divas Match was better than most of the ones on the card.

I honestly forgot this show was on. Then I just read the results and, well, I'm glad I didn't watch it.
Yeah really no reason to watch it to be honest.. I wish there was a "highlights" clip that showed the best 20 minutes of the shows.. pretty much for these type of shows.

LOL, didn't even notice Cole botched it this week, just goes to show how much I listen to Cole. lol

But I've read somewhere Vince was furious and gave him a hard time via that headset and told JBL to join in, too.

WTF's going on lately? WWE just being WWE, I guess.

Oh dayumn, this build-up for "Battleground" has been awesome thus far! :zayn:
