The Authority, Paul Heyman, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose & John Cena Kick Off RAW

After highlights of what went down with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins last week, The Authority — Triple H and Stephanie McMahon make their way to the ring. When “King of Kings” dies down, the “CM Punk” chants start up in Chicago, Illinois. Stephanie acknowledges them, saying it makes perfect sense for fans to chant for a quitter — because all of the fans are quitters. She says they all take the easy way out. They either quit or steal, just like Dean Ambrose, who stole the Money In The Bank briefcase from Seth Rollins. She says it makes no sense because the Money In The Bank contract still belongs to Seth Rollins. She says they are out here to send a message to Dean Ambrose, a message that states that his actions will not be tolerated.

Triple H gets on the mic now and talks about how no one will disrespect this business. Before he can continue, we hear, “ladies and gentlemen.” Out comes Paul Heyman.

Heyman rambles on for a while and ultimately makes it clear that he’s wondering if his client — Brock Lesnar — has a problem to deal with, with Seth Rollins and The Authority or if he has a problem to deal with …

…before he can continue, Stephanie interupts him and tells Heyman to choose his words carefully. Before she can continue, she is interrupted by Seth Rollins’ theme song. Rollins, without his Money In The Bank briefcase, makes his way to the ring.

Rollins says to Heyman that no one from The Authority suggested that he cash in his briefcase on Lesnar, nor did they encourage him to Curb Stomp Lesnar. He says he acted on his own. He tells Heyman that he thought he would appreicate someone taking an opportunity to make a mark. Heyman says he can appreciate that but the next time it happens, Rollins won’t be answering to him, he’ll be answering to his client — Brock Lesnar. Heyman leaves.

Rollins tells The Authority that now that the Heyman part of this is over with, let’s deal with what’s important. He brings up Dean Ambrose stealing his Money In The Bank briefcase. Ambrose appears on the titan tron from backstage with Rollins’ MITB briefcase. He tells Rollins if he wants it back, come get it. With that being said, Rollins, HHH and Stephanie all immediately leave the ring to go get it, apparently.

As they head up the ramp, John Cena’s theme hits. Cena nails Rollins but Rollins escapes, along with The Authority, as they head up the ramp. This leaves Cena alone in the ring with The Authority and Seth Rollins staring at him from the top of the stage. Cena plays to the crowd as we head to a commercial.

Backstage: The Authority, Joey Mercury & Jamie Noble

Backstage, we see Triple H and The Authority with Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble. He orders them — whatever it takes — to get the Money In The Bank briefcase back in one piece. He says if Ambrose comes back in several pieces, so be it, but to make sure to get the briefcase. They suggest that HHH give them some sledgehammers. He doesn’t like that idea and tells them to just do what they are told. They agree and leave.

Cesaro vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. The Miz

After the backstage segment, Cesaro’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Out next is the WWE Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler, who comes out to a huge ovation from the Chicago crowd. After him, The Miz, accompanied by Damien Mizdow, makes his way to the ring.

After some highlights of last week’s SmackDown, we head to the ring and the bell sounds to make this one official. Early on, Ziggler is in control of the offense. In this triple-threat match, action is happening quite often, but within a minute or so, Ziggler establishes himself as the guy in control. He hits a picture-perfect dropkick on Miz for a near fall as we head to a mid-match commercial.

When we return from commercial, we see Cesaro manhandling Ziggler. Miz gets involved and this leads to a series of pin roll-up attempts, obviously none of which reach the count of three. It was a cool series of spots that the fans in Chicago bought into, however.

We see Mizdow flipping out outside of the ring as the action continues inside the ring. Ziggler is firing up on offense, taking out Miz and Cesaro with a couple of different double-moves. After that, the “this is awesome” chants break out in Chi-Town.

The three get involved in some really cool, hard-to-explain triple-guy spots that really got the crowd pumped up. Ziggler slaps the figure-four leg lock on Miz as Cesaro is off selling. Cesaro ends up recovering and breaking things up. Cesaro ends up laying out Miz and seemingly having things in the bag, however, Ziggler re-enters the scene, superkicks Cesaro and covers Miz. 1-2-3. Ziggler retains.

Winner and STILL WWE Intercontinental Champion: Dolph Ziggler

Backstage: Noble, Mercury Continue Their Search

Backstage, per the orders of The Authority, Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury look for Dean Ambrose and the briefcase. They run into Adam Rose and his Rosebuds, as well as some others. Eventually, they run into Great Khali and ask him if he has seen Ambrose. Khali says something, but his English sucks so bad I have no idea what he just said. The two continue on their search as we head to another commercial break.

The Wyatt Family Video Package

We’re back from the break and after a quick plug for WWE’s third straight year partnering up with the Susan G. Komen foundation, we are interrupted by a Wyatt Family video package. Bray, who is narrating the package, obviously, is talking about somewhat specifically, it seems. He talks about Luke Harper some, as different clips are shown (nothing in the ring, like pre-taped stuff in various non-wrestling settings). Really weird, Wyatt-style stuff and when it was all said and done, it’s pretty hard to tell what they were talking about. It seemed pretty cool though.

Backstage: The Authority With Mercury & Noble

Backstage, The Authority are with Mercury and Noble. The two make excuses as to why they haven’t found Ambrose. Steph notices mustard on one of their faces and asks if they stopped for a hot dog or something. She says if they don’t find him, they’re fired. They leave to go look some more.

Backstage: The Authority With Miz & Sandow

After that, Miz and Sandow come in complaining. They bicker and moan and Triple H says Sandow makes him laugh like he always does. He tells him he has a match with Sheamus later tonight. He then talks about Miz and says he better never come barking orders at him again. We head to commercial.

Layla vs. Rosa Mendes

We return from commercial and see a bunch of Divas, along with Tyson Kidd, in the ring. We see some clips from Total Divas and now we’re back to the live action.

It looks like it’s Rosa Mendes and Layla in one-on-one action. Not sure why all of these other people are at ringside, but whatever. Kidd and Natalya argue in one corner outside the ring while Summer takes pictures on her phone on the other.

Meanwhile, Layla is manhandling Rosa in the center of the ring. Kidd puts on some headphones on the floor, ignoring the whining and complaining Natalya. Natalya takes the headphones off and bickers at him some more. Layla just yanked some of Rosa’s hair out.

Outside the ring, Summer and Natalya get into it. Rosa and Layla are mixing it up as well, all-the-while Tyson sits on the ring steps with his headphones on ignoring everything. This is as big of a mess as I’m sure it reads. Seconds later, Layla pins Rosa. After that match, Natalya throws a fit and walks away from Kidd. Summer in the ring takes pictures of Layla in victory.

Winner: Layla

Backstage: Dean Ambrose

Backstage, we see Dean Ambrose entering the building. He’s got a smirk on his face and he seems to be heading to the ring. The announcers speculate that he is heading to the ring and that after the commercial break, we will hear from Dean Ambrose. On that note, we head to commercial break.

Dean Ambrose, Mercury & Noble and Seth Rollins

When we return from commercial, Dean Ambrose makes his way to the ring. He’s got the briefcase and a luggage bag. He makes his way to the ring and sets up a table inside the ring. He says “those guys” who were looking for him earlier (Mercury and Noble) he was standing right there next to the concession stand and he thinks they were eating a hot-dog or something.

He says he doesn’t like the way they run the concession stands in WWE. He says he’s going to have a clearance sale. He opens up the luggage bag and starts showing off various Superstar t-shirts and whatnot. Eventually, out comes Mercury and Noble, to which Ambrose says, “uht oh, they sent the Cruiserweight division out to get me!” The fans chant “Ambrose, Ambrose” and rightfully so, he’s killing it.

Ambrose tells Mercury and Noble that if they want the briefcase that’s fine, just come in here and get it. The two leave instead. Ambrose takes the merchandise that he now admits he stole, and starts throwing it out to the fans.

Finally, Seth Rollins’ theme hits. Out he walks with Mercury, Noble and a bunch of WWE security guards. Rollins stays behind as the security guards head to the ringside area. Ambrose asks if they’re really security. He says he could swear they were Rosebuds last week. That was awesome lol.

Ambrose rolls out of the ring and says he doesn’t want any problems. He invites Rollins to come get his briefcase back. Ambrose goes out to the crowd. Rollins heads in the ring to get his briefcase as Ambrose walks through the crowd. Rollins opens the briefcase and out of nowhere, a bunch of green paint or mist, or whatever, sprays Rollins right in the face. Ambrose on the mic, from the crowd, says he swears he had nothing to do with that. The fans chant, “Ambrose, Ambrose!” Meanwhile, Rollins flips out in the ring, off-mic yelling about how he looks like a jerk. He says it’s “your fault” to Mercury and Noble. He takes his briefcase and heads back up the ramp. We head to commercial break.

Bo Dallas vs. Mark Henry

We’re back from the commercial break and the first thing we see is highlights from the Mark Henry and Rusev storyline.

From there, we see Bo Dallas in the ring and a Mark Henry ring entrance. The bell sounds and here we go with one-on-one action.

Henry dominates the offensive action from the word “go,” however he goes to the well one-too many times. He goes for a big splash off the middle ropes, but Dallas moves. From there, Dallas hits the running Bo-Dog on Henry. 1-2-3. Dallas pulls off the upset. The announcers put over the fact that Henry’s bad-streak of luck continues.

Winner: Bo Dallas

Backstage: Mark Henry Attacks Bo Dallas

Backstage, after a quick highlight recap of Dallas upsetting Henry, Renee Young catches up with Bo. She points out that it’s the biggest win of his career and asks him how he did it. He says he’s been saying it for months, all you have to do is “Bo-Lieve.” Seconds later, Henry brutally attacks Dallas backstage.

Backstage: The Dust Brothers

Backstage, Stardust is acting goofy as hell, not even sure how to describe it. He’s playing around with Science-type stuff. In walks Goldust and says it’s all simply science-fiction. Stardust points to their tag-titles and says, “this is science-fact!”

Brie Bella vs. Cameron & Eva Marie

After the weird Goldust and Stardust backstage segment, Brie Bella’s new theme song hits and she makes her way to the ring. The announcers plug the Susan G. Komen partnership as Brie takes her pink shirt off and throws it to the crowd. We head to a commercial break. Brie Bella will be in action after the break.

We return from the break and Nikki Bella, who isn’t Brie’s opponent tonight, comes out to the top of the stage. She yells and complains to Brie, saying the same stuff as always. Brie is a quitter, she left Nikki to fight in handicap matches by herself, etc. etc. She says per the Authority, she is announcing that Brie will have a handicap match of her own tonight.

With that said, out walks Cameron and Eva Marie. The bell rings and here we go. Eva and Brie lock up as we see Nikki watching on from the ramp. When all is said and done, after enduring double-team offense from Cameron and Eva, Brie pulls off the 1-2-3 for the victory. After the win, she leads the Chicago fans in one giant “Yes!” chant directed at a pissed off Nikki on the ramp. We head to break.

Winner: Brie Bella

Los Matadores vs. Titus O’Neil & Heath Slater

We return from the break to see Adam Rose and his Rosebuds — including The Bunny — at ringside on commentary with Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and JBL. Out comes Los Matadores with an alligator. Anyways, Titus O’Neil and Heath Slater are taking on Los Matadores. Along with the Alligator and Bull in each team’s corner.

Before the bell rings, Titus goes to the crowd and poses with Jesse Jackson who is in attendance. During the match, which the announcers mostly ignore to goof around with Adam Rose and the Rosebuds and The Bunny, the Alligator and the Bull distract everyone, leading to a win for

Big Show talks about how their propaganda is a bunch of crap. Fans start a big USA chant. Rusev says he wants to put his fist down Show’s throat and rip his guts out. Rusev will bite his ear and kick him in the groin. Fans give him the “what?” treatment. Rusev says he will break every bone in Show’s body. Show cuts him off and says enough talk. Show heads to the ring and Lana exits. Show charges and Rusev rolls to the floor as fans boo.

Big Show grabs the large Russian flag hanging over the ring as Rusev yells at him. Show yanks the flag down and Rusev throws a fit on the ramp, as does Lana. Rusev charges the ring but backs off. He jumps on the apron again and Show knocks him off with a shoulder. “The Bulgarian Brute” heads back into the ring, however Big Show throws him right back out.

Backstage, John Cena is interviewed by Renee Young. Cena speaks about the match tonight when Ambrose appears in the background.

Sandow blocks the forearms on the apron and beats Sheamus down in the corner. Sandow with more offense but Sheamus just gets pissed. Sheamus ends up throwing Sandow into Miz on the floor.

Winner: Sheamus

Hulkamania Hypes The Susan G. Komen Foundation

Hulk Hogan comes to the ring to a huge ovation from the fans in Chicago. Hulk is wearing a pink version of his “Hulkamania” t-shirt.

Once he gets on the mic, he cuts a promo about how WWE is teaming up again with the Susan G. Komen foundation. He literally mushes up and mixes his words 3-5 times in a span of 30 seconds. He’s entering Sid Vicious level territory in terms of screwing up his promos these days.

Backstage: Kane, Randy Orton & Stephanie McMahon

Backstage, we see Orton and Kane. Orton says he doesn’t care about the briefcase and he knows Kane doesn’t either. They both talk about how they’re sick of dealing with problems that Seth Rollins creates. As Kane goes to explain what he is going to do tonight, Stephanie walks in and tells them what they’re going to do. She tries to “rally the troops” and convince them that they need to be team players. She convinces them that people are saying that Orton and Kane have gone soft. We head to commercial.

John Cena & Dean Ambrose vs. Kane & Randy Orton

Back from the break and we see the entrance of both John Cena and Dean Ambrose, followed by Kane and Randy Orton. It’s time for tonight’s main event, ladies and gentlemen!

The bell rings and here we go. Early on, the babyfaces are in control, however it doesn’t take long before Orton and Kane are having their way with the “good guys.” We head to a mid-match commercial with Orton dominating Cena in the middle of the ring.

When we return from commercial, Cena is in the middle of trying to make a comeback, however Orton cuts his attempts short and remains in control of the offense. After that, Orton taunts both Cena and the fans in Chicago by doing his arrogant pose.

Orton and Kane now utilize quick-tags to keep fresh guys on Cena, so they can establish the offensive control in this RAW main event contest. Thus far, the strategy is working. Every so often, we see a shot of Ambrose is the corner, itching to get into the match. Meanwhile, a loud “let’s go Cena” and “Cena sucks” dueling chant breaks out as Orton continues to dominate Cena in the middle of the ring.

Finally, Cena makes the tag to Ambrose. Ambrose takes the hot tag and is now hitting any and everything that moves. Kane tries to stop him from the floor but Ambrose dives through the ropes onto him. Seconds later, he hops back in the ring and dives onto the other side of the ring through the ropes onto Orton.. Back inside the ring, Ambrose hits Dirty Deeds on Orton. He goes for the pin but out of nowhere, Seth Rollins attacks. The referee calls for the bell.

Winners via DQ: John Cena & Dean Ambrose

After The Match

After the match, Kane and Rollins and Orton head out of the ring. Ambrose goes for another dive but his foot gets caught on the ropes. He misses them by a good bit, so JBL has no choice but the point it out. Back in the ring, Cena and Ambrose argue and fight over who gets to beat up on Rollins. Eventually, Ambrose throws Cena out to the floor, however just as Ambrose thinks he has Rollins where he wants him, Orton nails him with an RKO and then Kane chokeslams him.

Rollins now puts the briefcase on the mat and orders Orton and Kane to “drag his ass over here.” They do and now Rollins hits a Curb Stomp onto Ambrose on the briefcase. Cena tries to make the save but Orton blasts him with an RKO. Kane chokeslams him after that. Rollins now sets the briefcase in position and orders Kane and Orton to hold him. Rollins hits the Curb Stomp onto Cena on the briefcase now. RAW goes off the air with Rollins, Kane and Orton standing tall.
