Seth Rollins Leaves Wrestlemania a Champion While Ronda Rousey Takes Down The Authority

Like many people, I was shocked at how good Wrestlemania 31 was. 76,976 people filling up Levi's Stadium took fifth for the all time record for Mania attendees. So much awesome-ness in one show I don't know where to start so here's a re-cap of the night.

Intercontinental Championship: Daniel Bryan

Randy Orton defeats Seth Rollins

No Disqualification: Triple H

AJ Lee and Paige defeat The Bella Twins

United States Championship: Cena

Undertaker defeats Bray Wyatt

Main Event

World Heavy-weight Championship: Seth Rollins

You read that right, the guy with his dick on the internet is the WWE Heavy-weight Champion. He may not have pinned Brock but he gave Reigns the Curb Stomp of his life for the win. Speaking of Curb Stomps, the match between Rollins and Orton was my favorite of the night, after Taker, of course. Randy Orton pops out of a Curb Stomp throwing Rollins in the air with just his head. I could watch it over and over. The old men get a little help from their friends when The nWo and DX make their way to the ring half way through the match. Definitely something to check out if you didn't catch the PPV. Might as well skip the Cena match. It was long and boring and pissed me off from the beginning. Why did Rusev come out in a tank? 

I had a good time watching Wrestlemania this year. WWE really stepped up their game. Giving us something to look forward to The Rock has teamed up with Ronda Rousey to take on The Authority. After Stephanie insults Rock with a slap in the face, he searches the crowd for a familiar face. I don't watch UFC but I recognized the name. Ronda was ready to go right then and there taking out Hunter with a judo throw. She looks like she will own the WWE ring for sure. 

Nothing made me happier than watching The Deadman kick ass. He looked great out there, off the top rope, out of the ring, in the ring. It was magic. Wyatt should have known better than to try to raise hell. Hell will destroy you.

Happy Birthday WWE Network! Fast Lane, Raw, and Chyna "Twerkin'"

This week marks the first birthday of the WWE network and the true start of the road to Wrestlemania 31. Raw opens with Randy Orton on the mic trying to explain how The Authority kept him out of action for the last four months. He should of explained why he was hanging out backstage Sunday night in his gear. While Fast Lane may not have delivered, Raw, and the announcement of free streaming of the network for 24 hours, definitely made up for it.

After a little bit of sweet talk from Boss Lady, Orton returns to The Authority for the main event tag match. It appears that Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns became BFFs after Fast Lane and it definitely showed in the ring Monday night. Orton and Rollins storm off with their tails between their legs. That match was the highlight of my night.

Last week TMZ reported on the terrible twerking video Chyna posted to her social media sites. From what I understand, Chyna admits to falling off the sober wagon tweeting from @ChynaJoanLaurer on February 24th. "Hi everyone. I have been kept denying the fact that I have been an alcohhol...This has been very hard... I am."  This seems to be a contributing factor to all the non-sense going on at her YouTube, Toyko Chyna. If you haven't heard, Chyna has been working in the adult entertainment industry since leaving WWE in 2001. Posing nude for Playboy, starring in 6 adult films, collecting 2 AVN awards, and working for the LA Porn Star Escort Service has been her claim to fame for the last 10 years. She has since retired and resides in Japan teaching private English classes. 

In all honesty, Chyna Doll looks like any other silly drunk girl dancing around her room in her underwear. She's just trying to live her life. Maybe she wasn't even drinking and that's just her charismatic personality. I do believe she's trying her hardest to live a normal life free of addiction. I think if these last few articles have taught me anything, it's that professional wrestlers are normal people that like to get fucked up and take pictures of their dicks.

Back! WWE Monday Night Raw Recap; Cena Appreciation Day!

Image Credit: wwe.com

Last week, Daniel Bryan surprised us by revealing his Royal Rumble return! YES! YES! YES! This week we witness the return of The Authority. The first order of business was to announce Seth Rollins' chance at Brock's belt at Royal Rumble. Next, a show of gratitude, naming Monday, January 5, 2015, "John Cena Appreciation Day." If you thought this was going to end well for Team Cena, you'd be saddly mistaken. 

Not only did they feel the wrath of The Authority during their matches, each member of Team Cena was fired at the end of the night. Kane's interuption during the night's first match indicated that Ziggler is a target of The Authority's bullying. J&J Security teamed up in the refs spot to make sure Eric Rowan went down. It took 2 opponents and 2 curb stomps to take The Big Guy down. Seeing as Ryback betrayed The Authority by switching teams, I was expecting him to go through hell on Monday. Leave with a bang. 

The main event needed more blood. I know its only Raw but it was the first ever Ambulance Match. Both men flew off the top of the rig to landing on his opponent below. But that was it. The match was boring and dragged out. Bray Wyatt threw Ambrose in the back of the ambulence and the match was over.

WWE Monday Night Raw Recap, The Slammy's and More.

Image Credit: wwe.com

Seth Green hosts The Slammy Awards on this weeks Raw. We start off with a win for Seth Rollins against Ziggler. The "This is Awesome" Award goes to Sting's Debut. No Sting, but Rollins did stop at the podium to give us a piece of his mind and accept the award. Apparently, Sting doesn't deserve the award. 

John Laurinaitis comes out to present 'Surprise Return of the Year" after a match against Kofi and Cody Rhodes. Kofi wins and the award goes to The Ultimate Warrior, of course. Ric Flair's daughter, Charlotte, the NXT's woman's champion, takes on Natalya! It was freaking amazing. Natty wins but all I can think about is how hot wrestling daughters are. Seriously, Foley, Hogan, Hart, McMahon, now Flair. Santino comes out to present. The "OMG Moment of the Year" goes to Brock for ending Taker's streak. Boo. Paul Heyman should fire his make up artist. 

Bray Wyatt cuts a promo for his match at TLC. Ambrose emerges out of a smokey ambulance in a neck brace. He's ready for his match on Sunday. Ladder and chair in hand, nothing can stop this breakout star of the year. He's ready to eat Bray alive. The King presents the "Diva of the Year" award to AJ. She promises to beat Nikki and take back the title. Cena cuts his promo for Sunday. Bellyaching about the stipulations for his match against Rollins. I'm glad that was short and sweet. Former tag team partners, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, compete for the next match. Harper is disqualified for grabbing a ladder. The "LOL Moment of the Year" goes to Mizdow. I honestly think it should have went to the Wee-L-C match.

Ryback and The Usos win the 6 man tag match. Ricky Steamboat comes out to a standing ovation and presents the award for Match of the Year. Ziggler comes out to accept for Team Cena vs Team Authority at Survivor Series. Booker T presents Roman Reigns with "Superstar of the Year" just before a brief main event of Cena vs Big Show. This feud is never ending. Raw ends with a mini Survivor Series in the ring. Team Cena comes out to battle Team Authority as Rollins is left the last man standing. Will this be the scene Sunday night at Tables, Ladders, Chairs, AND STAIRS!?

Contract Signing and Grumpy Cat; Monday Night Raw Recap

Image Credit: wwe.com

Heading into Survivor Series, "Team Cena" has The Authority on their toes. The fate of WWE lies in their hands after all. Stephanie tries every trick in the book to change Ryback's mind. He declares he is only playing for one team and that's Team Ryback. Threats of deportation couldn't sway Shemus. Bribes of Hall of Fame induction did nothing to persuade Big Show to switch teams. Ziggler comes out looking better than ever for his match against Luke Harper. The match doesn't even start before it's interfered by The Goons. Rollins has a lot to say on commentary. Harper defeats Ziggler by pin fall for the Intercontinental Championship. Mark Henry took Shemus out with a World's Strongest Slam. Big Show and Ziggler are both injured. The Authority wants to wear out Team Cena so there is nothing left of them. There's very little Cena can do but pray to take The Authority out of power. 

A confrontation between Ambrose and Wyatt gave us a taste of what we're in for Sunday night. Despite what Bray has to say about The Lunatic, he does not need saving. Dean Ambrose, "the most dangerous man in the world," because he can't love? Give me a break. He's dangerous because he's smart. I don't know which one of us is more excited that he finally gets his hands on Wyatt. 

As I predicted, Grumpy Cat was the best part of Raw. By far the best celebrity guest this year (besides Foley). Miz was great. That kiss good-bye made my heart skip a beat. Even Erick Rowan wants the cat! She is too cute. Next week Larry the Cable Guy graces our television screens with his presence. Why aren't the guests wrestling anymore? When Snooki came on she looked great in the ring. Bring her back! These celebrities are getting away with doing nothing and it sucks for the fans. 

Hunter makes a very valid point during the contract signing. The future of his family depends on this company. They have more to lose than anyone else. They are going to make sure they win this match. Cena searches the crowd for a new team. He promises the King and Queen will watch their team fall. Team Cena gets a few new members Erick Rowan, Cesaro, and Ryback and sends Hunter through a table to close the show.

TGIF: The Insanity of Rusev-Sheamus, No One Hit On Shelton's Momma, and More

T.G.I.F. with Matt Dawgs: #277

Good day to you all and welcome to We Want Insanity. I am your host for today, Matt Dawgs and this is my column. Today is the end of the work week and the time to look back at all the goings-on over the past seven days as I wrap it up with a bow and spout it out bit by bit. Buckle up. As previously noted, you can catch my OTHER COLUMN which is the “ WWE NETWORK PPV OF THE WEEK ” where I and 3 friends discussed an old WWE/WCW/ECW PPV from the archives. Join us on SUNDAY as we review WCW “Great American Bash 1989” and check it out to see if it is worth watching. Also check out this week’s “ THE QUESTION ” where James Guttman, James Bullock (why do we have two James writing for the site? We need to change his name to Tinashe or something) and myself answer a random question each week. This week’s “Question”, what is TV’s best theme song?

WWE NEWS AND NOTES:

- RAW = TRAIN. WRECK. Oh my god was RAW this week all over the f*cking place. Just complete lack of logic in almost every turn. Don’t believe me? Well let me break it down for you......

- Last week on RAW, the show was the start of the big Survivor Series angle involving Team Cena vs. Team Authority. Smackdown and the website all week were discussing the fact that John Cena would choose his team on RAW on Monday. I believe even the teaser WWE does on the site made note of that on Sunday. Then comes RAW on Monday and.....JOHN CENA ISN’T EVEN ON THE SHOW. WTF?!?!?! But that is just the start of the insanity.

- The show opened with a pleasant but surprisingly unannounced surprise. After a YEAR absence from television, Vince McMahon made his TRIMUPHANT RETURN to WWE television alongside his daughter and son-in-law HHH to open the show. Vince plugged the WWE Network as expected but surprisingly didn’t bother to mention the UK getting the Network as Monday was launch day there (more on this below). He then threw a curve ball out of left field that can be described as two ways. One way to describe it would be complete and utter desperation in order to get new subscribers to the Network. The second way to describe it would be Vince’s attempt to get a hot angle going and ideally the same angle that was talked about a full year ago which would pit Triple H vs. Vince’s proxy at Wrestlemania for complete control of the company. My guess is that it is a little bit of both. Vince announced that if the Authority’s team loses at Survivor Series then the Authority will NO LONGER BE IN CONTROL OF WWE. Now this is just my guess but I believe that this will lead to the tease we saw a few weeks ago with Triple H vs. The Rock at Wrestlemania as the original plan last year was for Triple H vs. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin (Vince’s 1st choice) or Triple H vs. The Rock (Vince’s 2nd choice) but both men fell through and then the Daniel Bryan phenomenon took over to they decided to scrap the idea altogether. So I think that is where we are going with this.

- Dean Ambrose and Cesaro FOUGHT AGAIN. I enjoy their matches but as noted in the last two columns, it is the same formula for RAW week in and week out. Cesaro got bloodied, not sure how and he required 5 staples to close the cut on his head on Monday. During the commercial break in his match with Dean Ambrose, WWE medical personnel were able to temporarily close the cut so he could continue the match and then put the staples in when he got backstage following the match. More Bray Wyatt magic stuff. I am not into him anymore. They did a fantastic job of killing his momentum DEAD if that was their intention.

- Remember when Cesaro won the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at Wrestlemania, it was treated like a big deal, he won this huge trophy and then was made a Paul Heyman guy and he got pushed to the moon? LOL. Good times.

- Should I start saying POOR MIZ? Seems that was as his matches have somehow now become a backdrop for Damien Mizdown to be showcased.

- So here is where more complete f*cking insanity comes around. The entire first hour in another desperate attempt to get more subscribers to the Network, WWE hyped that Sheamus would defend the US title vs. Rusev following RAW LIVE, exclusively on the Network. So instead of video packages to hype the match or promos from both men backstage or even in the ring hyping it, following the Miz vs. Jimmy Uso match we had SHEAMUS IN ACTION VS. TYSON KIDD!!!!! Not only that, but Sheamus F*CKING LOSES?!?!?!?!?! WHAT?????? Who in the hell was the genius who decided to have Sheamus lose a match before his “big” title defense live on the Network??? Why was this booked? And before you say that it was done to get over the Kidd/Nattie angle or that Sheamus vs. Rusev was booked last minute after the show was written, all you had to do was substitute Sheamus with R-Truth or Big E. Langston or anyone else and done the exact same match. Sheamus didn’t need to be sacrificed for it. SMH. And if for some unknown reason you decide that you NEED to have Sheamus wrestle on RAW, then have him win cleanly. That is the smartest form of booking. Oh...you needed Kidd to win? Then book him vs. someone who can afford a loss, especially since he won via countout. And on top of all that....if you needed Kidd to win then why the f*ck did Sheamus lay him out with the Brogue Kick after the match? I feel like I am in bizzaro world with this match. Mind Blowingly Dumb Booking.

- Dolph Ziggler continues his ride on the jobber train with a lame DQ win over Seth Rollins. Um...not for nothing but before the match was announced, the entire Authority came out to confront Ziggler and to try and CONVINCE HIM to join Team Authority. Triple H then proceeded to sing all sorts of praises for Ziggler. This would be an extremely useful angle and believable if DOLPH ZIGGLER EVER WON A F*CKING MATCH. This is the same Ziggler who legit just got over an 8 television match losing streak. Why are we supposed to believe he is such an asset when you book him to be a jobber with a belt? If I were Triple H, I would be encouraging Ziggler to be on Cena’s team. He is an easy elimination if you go by his television performances!!!

- By the way, 100% chance that HHH was speaking in code when he said that “something always gets in the way” of Ziggler every time he starts to rise to the top. I am sure that was a shoot disguised as a worked comment.

- The MATCH ITSELF wasn’t the type of quality you’d expect from them but Orton running in and laying out Rollins with an RKO OUTTANOWHERE was awesome and becoming a running gag. I like it. Although it is doing nothing but position Orton as a full-fledged face. It also didn’t help HHH’s argument from before the match since Rollins essentially destroyed him before curb stomping him into oblivion until the run in. BTW, Orton’s run in causes the DQ thus Ziggler loses again. Just saying.

- BTW, Orton is not scheduled for any future RAW’s between now and Survivor Series hence the show closing angle and he was actually removed by WWE from Survivor Series local ads over the weekend which is extremely odd since this RAW focused on him and Rollins competing over control of Team Authority at the PPV and more so because the PPV is IN ST. LOUIS, HIS HOMETOWN!!!!!!

- Two weeks in a row where Orton cuts a fiery promo breaking away from his slow, monotone promos. Last week I complained, this week it is growing on me.

- Who was the PROMO WITH THE EYES about? I assumed the Ascension but I am hearing others speculate Luke Harper. Anyone know? Guesses?

- More Insanity, YAY!!!! Last week Ryback randomly was a babyface and crushed his opponent to the crowd’s delight. How does WWE follow that up? By having Ryback have a back and forth COMPETITIVE MATCH with perennial jobber Titus O’Neal!!!!

- PS – I honestly think WWE is going to try and make us forget about the last year when Ryback was a mid-card/opening card heel/jobber and pretend he is a main event talent again. He is likely going to be Team Cena at Survivor Series.

- Insanity Segment Alert: What in the blue hell was up with Big Show’s teary eyed promo about wanting his friend Mark Henry back? That was incredibly lame and a bit homosexual. He misses his friend. What?

- And as you can see, creative is in panic mode doing things the completely rushed way because they don’t know where they are going with angles. BIG SHOW VS. MARK HENRY on RAW rather than at Survivor Series? Weird. Then end it in a DQ? Worse than weird.

- So that Erik Rowan SEGMENT huh?

- Definitely not enough Brie/Nikki skits with Brie being her assistant. I am thoroughly disappointed as WWE is failing to capitalize on a bunch of potentially entertaining skits.

- Wait... “ A NEW DAY IS COMING”???? Xavier Woods??? Is WWE finally going to debut Woods/Big E/Kofi as a trio? This angle started IN JULY!!!!!

- And WWE is going to call them “The New Day” instead of those lame names I heard about a few months back liek "Speed Force" or "Athletic Friends". Good.

- Zack Ryder tweeted to John Cena that he is ready if Cena needs him to be on his team at Survivor Series. WWE actually showed the tweet on RAW. WWE is oblivious to the fact that Ryder 100% did that on his own to troll the internet and WWE fell for it likely thinking that Ryder did it in storyline per the creative team’s wishes. Anyway, Ryder was on Raw and he GOT KILLED by Rusev. You know, the same Rusev who is getting a US title match LIVE on the Network following RAW. SMH.

- Mark this down, save this column. If Rusev is on Team Authority at the PPV and Team Authority is booked to lose, then I GUARAN-F*CKING-TEE that Rusev gets eliminated by DQ. If they win, Rusev will be a survivor.

- MORE INSANITY!!! Los Matadores DEFEATED the WWE Tag Team Champions in a non-title match on RAW. How are Los Matadores rewarded for their big win? They are rewarded by The Usos getting a tag team title match on Smackdown tonight in a steel cage!!!!! Read that sentence again because you might be confused by what I wrote. THE F*CKING USOS are getting a title shot tonight even though Los Matadores PINNED the champs cleanly.

- And finally, for the 186 consecutive WWE show in a row, a combination of John Cena/Dean Ambrose/Randy Orton/Kane/Seth Rollins main events a show. At least we FINALLY GOT A CLEAN FINISH in the main event rather than a DQ. It was a solid match and Orton seemed motivated even though he has made it clear backstage that he doesn’t want to be a babyface. Rollins with the clean victory using a backslide? Someone was watching Flair vs. Steamboat matches on the Network this week.

- The POST MATCH ANGLE was good stuff. Orton nailing HHH with a forearm was good and I assume that even though he is supposed to be on Team Authority, he is now a babyface since he was laid out by Rollins, Kane, Mercury, Noble and a hesitant HHH who only joined in at Stephanie’s request. The running angle is that Orton is “injured” and he is not expected to be at Survivor Series.

Vince is here! Monday Night Raw Recap

Image Credit: wwe.com

New stakes for Survivor Series! If Team Authority loses to Team Cena, they lose their power. Much remains unsettled as Vince McMahon makes a rare TV appearance Monday night in Buffalo. What does this mean exactly? Will Stephanie and Hunter lose their jobs completely? Will whoever takes over be pro Cena? Is Vince a temporary fix to a much bigger problem? 

The Authority has taken over in a great way. I almost forget that anything else is going on in the show. I like that Ziggler is getting lots of attention even if he has to lose to Rollins. Creepy Bray Wyatt watches Ambrose from the stage. "Feed Me More" chants fill the arena for Ryback. Jimmy Uso doesn't stand a chance against The Miz. Nikki and Brie are such disappointments. I wish they would get a little more creative with this story line. 

The Condemned 2 has The Viper taking a break from the ring as he waits to be "medically cleared." A curb-stomp from Rollins leaves Orton with a bloody forehead and an exit via stretcher. It's very possible that he may even miss Survivor Series. Monday was Orton's last scheduled day as he is not booked for the European tour.

WWE: Hell Starts Early! Monday Night Raw Recap

Image Credit: wwe.com

Just two weeks away, in Dallas, the steel cage will be lowered. You'd never guess that if it wasn't for Ambrose vs Cena. So close to a PPV and no one even mentions it. There's only one Raw left to build up to Hell in a Cell and WWE is wasting time on a mediocreshow. Who the hell is NeNe Leakes? Why do they keep bringing these nobodies out. Jake The Snake was backstage! It infuriates me that a talentless housewife takes precedence over a legend. 

One of the big matches from last night just happen to star the Big Show. Hisfued with Rusev seemed to hit a high point last week when the Rock came out to lay the smack down. This week Mark Henry interferes. Rusev wins by disqualification.

Almost the entire show was about Seth Rollins.The Triple Threat match between tag teams The Usos, Dust Bros. and Cena/Ambrose was ordered by The Authority. Orton vs Ziggler, Rollins looks on from ringside, waiting to curb stompZiggler. Rollins pins Jack Swagger right before Ortons runs in with an RKO to one up Rollins. And the main event, A No Holds Barred Contract on a Pole Match, Ambrose defeats Cena. While we're stuck with another Orton vs Cena, Ambrose gets his shot at Rollins at Hell in a Cell. 

Lets all pray that the rumors are true and we get some Hulk Hogan next week.

WWE: Monday Night Raw Recap of August 25th, 2014

image cred: wwe.com

If you can get Hall of Famers on Raw, don't you think you should make them do something other than sit around and talk about John Cena. Night of Champions is next month and Hogan knows Cena is going to win, Cena knows Cena is going to win, even I know Cena is going to win! Despite every "Cena Sucks" chant, he will prevail. Or Maybe this is just wishful thinking. The only time I'm on Brock's side is when Heyman is screaming in my face that I'm on Brock's side.  

Other highlights from last night...Kane and Rollins delivered a powerful eulogy at Dean Ambrose's funeral. Reigns comes out and beats Rollins with the podium. Later that night, Reigns wins their match by disqualification. The Bella Twins are hard to watch. I really love crazy heel Nikki but Brie is so bad it ruins everything. BRING BACK STEPH!Cena vs Bray Wyatt turned into a six man tag match delivering quite the beat down to the Wyatt Family. 

The Goldust/Stardust heel turn may have been my favorite part of Raw and that's sad. Hopefully next week I'll have something good to write about.

WWE: The beast crashes nWo reunion, Brie Bella the "Dead Fish" and not much more...

photo credit: wwe.com

Less than a week til SummerSlam and Raw fails to bring heat to anyone. You'd think WWE would learn to use their time a little wiser. At this point, I feel like it would be more productive to let Heyman cut promos for the entire roster and give everyone the night off. 

Paul Heyman is one of the greatest personalities in the world of wrestling. He's an important asset to any company he's working for. If it wasn't for him, I don't think I would have made it through Raw this week. Not only has he convinced me Brock has a shot at the title at SummerSlam, but I barely even cringed when he brought up the Undertaker loss at Wrestlemania. 

The lackluster performance from Stephanie this week was a major disappointment. My expectations for this woman are always high, as they should be. She's the princess of wrestling. Shitty script or not, there's no excuse. The fake love affair between Daniel Bryan and his physical therapist is unbelievable. Who came up with that and why didn't anyone slap THEM!? Brie is not a good enough actress to sell it even if it were true. In the end, McMahon gets her revenge. Brie is arrested for slapping her husbands new love interest. 

nWo for life! I loved seeing all these sexy old men in the ring. Hulk Hogan celebrated his 61st birthday with Rick Flair, Paul Orndorff, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall. The party was so rudely interrupted by the Lesnar-Heyman team. Before anything interesting could happen, Cena runs into the ring to save the day. Brock fled the scene saving the real fight for SummerSlam.

WWE Monday Night Raw Recap! Plus; the anticipation for Summer Slam, the return of Hulk Hogan, and more.

There's a reason they keep letting these ladies close out Monday Night Raw. Two Pedigrees and a pair of leather hot pants just for a contract signing. Did you see the way Brie's head bounced off the mat? Pure gold! Will my favorite McMahon tear the heart out of a poor little Bella twin? I sure hope so! 

Being a die-hard Taker fan, I don't want to give Brock Lesnar anymore attention than I have to. You can see where my hatred stems from. I can't even bring myself to watch the pin from Wrestlemainia. These promo videos were hard for me to watch.  All I have to say is GO JOHN CENA!! 

As for the rest of Raw, my advice is to balance out the talent/writing skills. Or then again, maybe they shouldn't. If giving everyone good story lines takes away from the awesomeness of Stephanie vs Brie then maybe they just need to hire some new and improved writers. Over-all this was not a very good show. 

Once upon a time, Raw was able to keep my attention for more than fifteen minutes. Hogan's return next Mondaywill be sure to boost ratings but is that really enough? It's been confirmed that The Hulkster will be celebrating his 61st birthday on air but could this lead to even bigger things? Scott Hall tweets "Somebody say sumthin about a nWo reunion.....#RAW." Does WWE have the balls to make something spectacular happen?

WWE Monday Night Raw Review: Stephanie McMahon, Brie Bella, the build up to Summer Slam, and more...

photo credit:: wwe.com

Monday night was pretty event-less. Stephanie McMahon steals the show for the second week in a row. The latest build to SummerSlam is a bit of a let down, Jericho vs Bray Wyatt. Stephanie vs Brie is the only match that really reels me in. Is there any point in watching more than the last half hour of Raw?

The "vindictive, manipulative bitch" apologizes and agrees to her first match in over a decade. Brie gets her job back in exchange she must drop all charges against her boss. This is mounting up to be the best match at SummerSlam. There's nothing I love more than Stephanie McMahon in the ring. Queue the dirty 90's cat fights. Words can't describe how excited I am!!

A lot of disappointment this week but on the plus side, the more I watch the Wyatt family, the more I fall in love with them. "The relentless Wyatts." The weirdos. They are my kind of people. Everything from their entrance theme to their mind games. Paige, on the other hand, is giving a rather mundane performance. Unless the plan is to bore us to death. Then, surprise us with a totally bat-shit crazy Paige chainsaw match. Yes, i said chainsaw. I don't think there's any other way to save her. WWE thinks AJ is too valuable and will most likely let Paige fade away. Does anyone else's heart break a little when Ole pops up on the screen for Los Matadores? I know it will never happen but my heart skips a beat for El Generico and Steen. I can still hear the "Ole ole ole ole" chant from ROH. 

I feel like I should be more excited for this Reigns vs Orton feud, but I'm not. Neither was that kid that kept screaming "RANDY YOU STINK!" I wanna see Kane kick some ass. What's the point of having him come down to the ring at all? Kane deserves the spotlight. I have to say though, this might have been the most exciting wrestling of the night. Anyone going through the announcer's table will get my attention.

WWE Battleground & Raw Recap; Steph's boobs, and more!

How anyone is talking about anything other than Stephanie McMahon's tits is beyond me. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Mrs. Helmsley's cleavage, or lack of, distracted us all from how great these stories really were on last night's Raw. In my opinion, it was even better than Battleground.

Not living up to my expectations, here are Battleground results;

• Adam Rose defeated Fandango
  
• Cameron defeated Naomi
• The Usos defeated The Wyatt Family
• AJ defeated Paige 
• Rusev defeated Jack Swagger 
• Seth Rollins defeated Dean Ambrose by forfeit 
• Jericho defeated Bray Wyatt
• The Miz winning the Intercontinental Championship by last eliminating Dolph Ziggler
• John Cena winning Fatal Four Way (who didn't see Brock vs Cena at Summerslam) 

Battleground was such a waste of time I don't even want to talk about it. Raw absolutely made up for it times ten!

Once you get past Stephanie's not-so-fun-bags, you realize she may be one of the best performers on the roster. She was arrested for slapping Brie Bella after a little bit of name calling. Time away from the ring (and maybe a few acting classes) clearly paid off for this Bella twin. Nikki may have had her ass handed to her but its all for good story telling. I'm excited to see this feud. Stephanie McMahon vs Brie Bella is going to be hot! 

We've seen it coming and I'm glad they waited til Raw to turn Paige. Teaming her up with AJ just to assault her after their win was gratifying. I will never like AJ. I watched the entire beat down with a smile on my face.

Triple H is pissed off about Cena's win Sunday night and so am I. Give Kane a chance. I would kill to see the epic battle between Brock vs The Brothers of Destruction at Summerslam. Make the next pay-per-view as good as Wrestlemania. Hopefully WWE keeps with the trend and makes the weeks leading up to Summerslam more satisfying than Battleground.
