WWE Raw Results (8/18/14) Las Vegas, Nevada

Raw opens with a re-cap from last night's Summerslam PPV

Welcome to Monday Night Raw live from Las Vegas, Nevada and we kick things off with Daniel Bryan's music playing and out comes Stephanie McMahon. Stephanie takes the mic and calls Summerslam one of the most epic PPVs in history and some are saying it was even better than Wrestlemania and one reason why is because we crowned a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion and tonight The Authority will present a brand new championship belt to Brock Lesnar. She then says everyone at WWE wishes John Cena a fast recovery after one of the most brutal beatdowns. She doesn't know how John Cena will recover from that but others had to recover as well. Chris Jericho, Dean Ambrose and her opponent Brie Bella. She learned firsthand to not mess with The Authority. She then plugged the WWE Network. She thanks Triple H and calls him her rock then introduces Nikki Bella to the ring to tell everyone who Brie really is. Stephanie says some are calling what Nikki did an act of betrayal. Nikki says from the moment they came to WWE it was supposed to be The Bellas against the world and she's always been there for Brie but secretly she didn't become the woman Nikki wanted her to be and calls Brie selfish and manipulative. Nikki says she's heartbroken but now she can stand on her own two feet and she can say she never really had a sister but then again she never really had one and says she's finally free and it feels good. Brie comes out. Brie asks why Nikki is doing this and says they are sisters for life and Nikki's destoryed their family and she doesn't even know why and forgives her for last night. Nikki slaps Brie and says she will never forgive her. Brie exits the ring as the crowd starts chanting "You Sold Out"

Triple H's music played and WWE focused on the new WWE logo statue on the stage as Hunter and Stephanie McMahon walked out on-stage. Steph was now in a dress after starting the show in jeans and her new "Steph!" t-shirt. Hunter led Steph into the ring as Lawler talked about this coronation being sad to see.
Once in the ring, Hunter said it is an historic night tonight. Because it follows a Summerslam event that featured his wife victorious and two men giving it everything they had to represent WWE into the future as WWE World champion. So, it is their honor to present the brand-new symbol of their future - the new WWE World Hvt. Title. Hunter and Steph pulled back the curtain to reveal the new title belt, which featured the new WWE logo on the face of the belt, looking like a Super Bowl ring. Hunter gave a big introduction for the new WWE World champion, Brock Lesnar, who came out with Paul Heyman. Cole said never before in the history of WWE has there been a title main event as one-sided s the match last night when Lesnar "absolutely dominated" Cena. Lesnar entered the ring to receive the title belt, which had Lesnar's logo on the the side plates. Hunter, Lesnar, Heyman, and Steph posed in the ring, then a ringside photographer entered the ring to capture the moment. More posing to all sides of the arena. Hunter and Lesnar then stood tall in the ring for Hunter to raise Lesnar's arm in the air. Handshakes all-around. Even Heyman and Stephanie. Lawler said he can't believe he's hearing a Lesnar chant, to which JBL replied that people just want to cheer for winners. He called the audience bandwagon-hoppers. Once The Authority left, Heyman took the mic to drag out his usual introduction to lots of noise. Heyman said he is the one behind the one who beat the man who thought he was the one and who is the one in 21-and-1. Heyman fired himself up proclaiming himself the advocate for the new reigning, defending, conquering WWE World Hvt. champion, Brock Lesnar. Lesnar held up his new title belt in the air to make sure everyone got a good look at him. Heyman then got down to business to let everyone know that John Cena (long pause) is not here tonight. Big cheers. Heyman said Cena would be here if he could be here, but John Cena can't be here because John Cena can't physically appear and that's all because of his client, Brrrrrock Lessssnar. Brock told him to do it again. Heyman said he has been in this industry since the age of 14, and he has never in his life seen a Superstar take an ass-kicking the likes of what Cena took last night. Not just any Superstar, but the top Superstar. Not just any top Superstar, but the top Superstar of a generation. Heyman said The Rock's run on top was three years, maybe. Stone Cold's run on top (big cheers) was four years, maybe. But, there has been one constant, one man in WWE for the past ten years, and that man has been John Cena. (Boos and Cheers)
Heyman said you have to give Cena credit for lasting more than 30 seconds last night. He said that as he stood right here in the corner and witnessed the suffering on Cena's face that he truly understood. He said he got it - why so many people love and cheer for Cena, because he was taking this violent beating and he kept coming back for more and more. Because when Cena says never give up, John Cena means never give up. Heyman said Cena earned his respect to the point where he would love to make him a Paul Heyman Guy. Unfortunately, his client, Brock Lesnar, does not share this opinion. Which is why Lesnar destroyed Cena last night. He said Cena died at the hands of the conqueror, Brock Lesnar, just like The Undertaker's Undefeated Streak and career died at the hands of Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. Just like the whole concept of hustle, loyalty, and respect died at the hands of Brock Lesnar. Just like the whole Cenation died at the hands of Brock Lesnar. Here's the problem - the same fate awaits the next title challenger. Heyman said anyone who steps into this ring with Lesnar is just a man. "My client is not a man. My client is The Beast," he said. Heyman promised wreckage and the same beating for Cena for all future challengers. Heyman said if you're too cheap, stupid, blind, or ignorant to spend $9.99 on the Network, he will tell everyone what happened last night - Lesnar imposed his will on John Cena in Basic Brock-anomics form. Eat. Sleep. Suplex. Repeat. Heyman repeated himself over and over again: "Suplex Repeat."
"Brock Lesnar lives by the motto - eat, sleep, suplex, repeat," he said. "Eat, sleep ... conquer John Cena," Heyman closed. Lesnar's music played for Lesnar and Heyman to make their exit from the ring.

-Commercial 9:16pm-

The Miz vs Dolph Ziggler

Waistlock by Ziggler and Miz turns it into a side headlock. Shoulderblock off the irish whip. Ziggler with a hiptoss. Ziggler to the side headlock. Miz with a kick and now it's Miz with a side headlock reversed by Ziggler. Roll up by Miz for a 2 count. Miz with a dropkick to the legs. Miz stomps away at Ziggler. Miz goes to work on the leg slamming it into the ring post

-Commercial 9:24pm-

Ziggler, selling the knee, snapped off a desperation DDT out of the corner back from break, but Miz kicked out of a pin. Both men recovered, then Miz yanked Ziggler onto his back and slapped on the figure-four leglock center-ring. Miz pressured the knee in the hold, then crawled on his belly to the bottom rope for a break.
Ziggler rolled to the outside to recover as the ref applied a count. Ziggler struggled to the ring apron, which typically breaks the ref's count, but the ref kept counting. Ziggler nailed a desperation kick to Miz, but fell off the ring apron in the process. Ziggler kept selling the knee, the ref hit a ten count, and the bell sounded for Miz to win the match, but for Ziggler to retain the title.

The winner of the match: The Miz

Post Match: Miz angrily realized what happened and chucked Ziggler into the announce table. Miz huffed and puffed ringside, then returned to the ring, where he walked into Zig-Zag. Ziggler continued to sell the knee before receiving his title belt as Lawler said Miz should remain in the title hunt via the victory.

Backstage: Renee Young brought in Jack Swagger. Young went to a video review of Swagger's loss to Rusev last night. Back to Renee, who asked Swagger about losing to Rusev. Swagger dejectedly talked about failing his country last night. He unconvincingly offered a John Cena-like promo about getting off the mat and fighting again after being knocked down.

Jack Swagger vs Cesaro

Cesaro gets a few punches in on Swagger but Swagger fires back with a series of right hands. Cesaro with the gutwrench. Abdominal Stretch by Cesaro driving elbows into Swagger's ribs. Hiptoss by Swagger. Cesaro with the double stomp. Boot to the face by Swagger follows with The SwaggerBomb. Swagger hooks Cesaro up for a suplex but Cesaro blocks it and hangs Swagger out over the top rope. Right hand by Cesaro. Swagger with right hands. Cesaro sends Swagger into the turnbuckle. Swagger blocks a boot and turns it into The Patriot Lock. Swagger with another Patriot Lock but Cesaro turns things around and pokes Swagger in the eye and hits The Neutralizer for the three count

The winner of the match: Cesaro

Post Match: Bo Dallas comes out and says 318 million Americans were let down at Summerslam when Swagger lost to Rusev and now he's losing again. He lost Zeb Colter, he lost all self respect and his dignity but he can get it all back all he has to do is BO-lieve

Backstage: Renee Young brought in Jericho for an interview. Asked how he feels about losing to Bray last night, Jericho paused and said he's never faced anyone like him in WWE. But, he noticed when he looked into his eyes that there's an emptiness inside him. Jericho said Bray is already dead inside, but he's not dead inside. Jericho said he has three things that Bray does not have: a burning desire, the fighting spirit, and the best fans in WWE history. Jericho said he knows every Jericholic will have his back no matter what. Jericho wrapped up and JBL said he's sick of these excuses tonight.

 -Commercial 9:47pm-

Rob Van Dam, Sheamus & Roman Reigns vs Randy Orton & RybAxel

As the match started, Cole noted it was The Authority's night last night ... except for Orton. Sheamus and RVD followed up on their odd Main Event pairing by combining for a rolling senton and Rolling Thunder on Orton, respectively. Orton recovered on the floor heading to an early break.

-Commercial- 

Back from break, it sounded like the crowd was chanting for Ryback, which could be explained as he's from Las Vegas. Sheamus lit up Axel with Ten Forearms to the Chest, then Ryback took ten blows for good measure. Orton blasted Sheamus from behind to cut him off, though. Orton dumped Sheamus over the guardrail into the timekeeper area. So long Mark Yeaton. The crowd continued to chant for Ryback as Orton tried to take the spotlight by posing for the crowd. Back in the ring, Orton decided to acknowledge the crowd, asking if they want to see Ryback. He pointed to Ryback and extended his hand, tagging in Ryback to a big pop. Ryback lit up Sheamus and soaked up "Feed Me More" chants. Ryback then went Goldberg on Sheamus with a delayed vertical suplex for a two count. Ryback tagged out to Orton, then left the ring with a big smile on his face. Orton lost control, though, and, Sheamus tagged in Roman Reigns, making it obvious that WWE was protecting Reigns by reserving him until the big hot tag. Reigns cleaned house before measuring Axel for a big Superman Punch. Reigns then smashed Ryback off the ring apron to some boos. Reigns wanted the big spear on Axel, but Orton snuck in the back door with a backbreaker. But, Reigns tagged in RVD, who smashed Axel with a cross-body for a one count. RVD followed with a split-legged moonsault, but Ryback broke up the pin. Sheamus dropped Ryback with a Brogue Kick, but Sheamus injured his leg. Orton with the RKO to Sheamus, but Reigns jumped over RVD to spear Orton. Back to RVD, who spin-kicked Axel, then climbed to the top turnbuckle for a Five-Star Frogsplash on Axel. It was good for the win.

The winners of the match: Roman Reigns, Sheamus & Rob Van Dam

Post Match: The face trio took a curtain call in the ring while Orton seethed ringside. After a replay of the high points from the match, WWE showed RVD posing with Reigns and Sheamus.

 -Commercial 10:08pm-

Backstage: Randy Orton was shown walking down the hallway with an icepack over his neck. Ric Flair then walked up to Orton to talk about what's going on with him. Orton told Ric to stay out of his way unless he wants to remember his Legend Killer days. Orton walked off, leaving Flair to contemplate what he can to do to get to Orton.

Suddenly, Bray Wyatt's video interruption played. On the screen was Bray Wyatt, who said he warned Chris Jericho that this would happen. After all, he is a man of his word. Bray said Jericho claims that he looked into his eyes last night and saw nothing. Which got him to thinking. Maybe Jericho is right that he does not have a soul. But, one thing is for certain that Jericho will never ever, ever be able to comprehend who he is. Behold, the new face of salvation. "Follow the buzzards," Bray closed.

-Commercial 10:15pm-

The Usos vs Goldust & Stardust

Very quick pace early on, putting Goldust on the defensive against the more spry Uso. Goldust collected himself and charged Jey again, but Jey ducked and took down Goldust. Jimmy tagged in and continued the work on Goldust as JBL noted he doesn't like weird-os like Goldust and Cody. The announcers continued to argue, treating the match like a comedown segment. Lawler tried to swing it back to Cody searching for the cosmic key - perhaps the Tag Titles. On cue, Cody suddenly trapped Jey's shoulders to the mat on a pinning combination for the win. Afterward, the Rhodes Bros. celebrated ringside while the Usos sold frustration over the loss.

The winners of the match: Goldust & Stardust

-Commercial-

Rusev was introduced for the next segment. Lana proudly walked behind the Summerslam winner over Jack Swagger before Rusev waved his Russian flag into the ring. Unfortunately, the flag flew into Rusev's face for a rough moment before Lana delivered a speech. Lana talked about Vladimir Putin being so proud of Rusev for delivering last night. Suddenly, Mark Henry's music played. Henry wasn't done for the night after his tag match about two hours ago. Henry marched down to the ring to square off with Rusev, who held his ground in the ring. Henry stared down Rusev as Lana sold annoyance, then Henry asked everyone if they hear that American pride. Henry said he's had the honor of representing this country twice at the Olympics. He said he never had a problem with anyone's country, beliefs, or flags, except the way you two jackasses do it. Henry said that last night at Summerslam, it got under his skin to see Rusev's flag raised in his *his* country. It made Henry sick to his stomach. Henry shouted at Lana to be quiet, then addressed Rusev face-to-face. Calling Rusev "boy," he said that he is going to give him a guided tour into the Hall of Pain. Rusev contemplated his move, then landed a right hand. Henry fought back, but Rusev kicked him in the gut. Henry blocked a second kick, though, and emphatically delivered World's Strongest Slam. Henry bounced to his feet and celebrated as Lana sold concern. Henry then waved Lana aside before delivering a big running splash to finish off Rusev. Henry, fired up, left the ring and celebrated with the announcers before putting on JBL's cowboy hat and playing to the crowd. Henry fired up the front row of fans, too, on the way out as Rusev recovered in the ring

Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins - Falls Count Anywhere

Ambrose quickly dropkicked Rollins out of the ring, then Ambrose chucked him over the guardrail into the front row. Ambrose sat on the guardrail, cracked his knuckles, and chased after Rollins as referee Charles Robinson followed close behind. They moved to the stage, where Ambrose landed a snap suplex onto the steel for a two count. The fight moved down the ramp back to ringside, where Ambrose started grabbing weapons from under the ring.
Back in the ring, Ambrose jabbed Rollins with the edge of a chair, then suplexed Rollins into a chair. Ambrose followed with a surfboard chair smash from the second rope for a two count. Ambrose tried to whip Rollins into a chair wedged in the corner, but Rollins reversed and Ambrose crashed into the chair. (Ambrose got his elbow up to protect his head.) Rollins scored a nearfall heading to break.

 -Commercial 10:51pm-

Back from break, Rollins was choking Ambrose with a kendo stick. An amazing sequence followed with the kendo stick, Rollins ducking the rebound lariat, and Rollins kicking Ambrose in the head for a two count. Rollins left the ring to get a chair, which gave Ambrose an opening to snatch him for a Tornado DDT out of the corner for a two count. Rollins wanted to get unstable with Dirty Deeds, but Rollins blocked, then both men collided mid-ring.

Ambrose then monkey-flipped Rollins into the corner turnbuckle before retrieving chairs. More chairs. Even more chairs. Rollins grabbed a chair for the heck of it, but Ambrose kicked it out of his hands. Ambrose wanted a superplex into the pile of chairs, to the point where even JBL dropped the heel bit just wanting to see Ambrose do it. Rollins blocked, though, and delivered a giant sunset flip powerbomb into the pile of chairs. Ambrose kicked out, though, popping the crowd. Both men sold on the mat at the top of the hour. Suddenly, Corporate Kane wandered over to the ringside area. Kane sat down next to ring announcer Justin Roberts as Rollins went on the attack. Rollins left the ring, though, and retrieved a table, which the crowd had been chanting for to this point. Rollins smirked at the crowd, then set up the table in the ring. Rollins wanted a top-rope Curb Stomp through the table, but Ambrose blocked. Ambrose then delivered a top-rope superplex through the table, drawing a look of concern from Kane ringside. Ambrose crawled through the table scraps to try to cover Rollins, but Kane got on the ring apron. Ambrose knocked him off, then tossed Rollins to the outside and smashed both men with a suicide dive. Big fire from Ambrose. Rollins chucked Rollins back into the ring, where Rollins tried to hit him with a stick, but Ambrose went right into the rebound lariat. Big spot. Ambrose had the win again, but Kane yanked Ambrose out of the ring to cost him a win for the second straight night. Kane ripped off his jacket to attack Ambrose, but Ambrose sent him into the ring steps. Ambrose then dumped Rollins over the guardrail to the front row. Ambrose turned his attention back to Kane, attacking him, then he ran off the announce table to splash Rollins in the front row. Back to ringside, Ambrose smashed Rollins into the announce table. Ambrose then started clearing the announce table like a mad man. Absolute mad man. Ambrose wanted to finish Rollins through the announce table, but Kane got up and chokeslammed Ambrose onto the announce table. Cole described this as an abuse of power, then Rollins Curb-stomped Ambrose into the table. Rollins called for Kane to end Ambrose, then Kane revealed a big collection of cinder blocks near the table. Rollins ran off the announce table with a Curb Stomp that sent Ambrose into the cinder blocks. Ref Charles Robinson asked for some help as Ambrose remained face-down in the remains of the cinder blocks, which looked kind of crummy upon impact. The bell sounded as Robinson reprimanded Rollins and Kane for going too far. Justin announced Rollins as the winner via referee stoppage, though. EMTs and medics then came to ringside to tend to Ambrose as Cole passionately noted Kane is supposed to be in a position of authority. Rollins's music then played out of nowhere before Kane raised Rollins's hand in the air. Rollins continued to look down at Ambrose before WWE replayed the visual pinfall of Ambrose having Rollins pinned until Kane broke it up. Back to Rollins, who continued to look down at Ambrose as Raw signed off ten minutes past the top of the hour.

The winner of the match: Seth Rollins

-End Show-
