411’s WWE Raw Report 2.10.14

411’s WWE Raw Report 2.10.14

  • Tonight’s show is in memory of Frank Bullock.
  • Betty White is here as the guest star of Raw. Big Show escorts her out, and she gets a Betty White chant. She says she can’t possibly tell us how thrilled she is to be here tonight, and Show asks what they will do tonight, and she says kick some ass.
  • Triple H and Stephanie, the Authority, make their way out. They glad hand with Betty and then head to the ring. They are here to fix some confusion from last week. They had said that they would reconsider Daniel Bryan as the face of the WWE if he defeated Randy Orton. Key word, consider. But they are also considering Cesaro, Sheamus, Christian and even Cena.

    This leads to Randy Orton hitting the ring, and Stephanie is not happy about his interruption, and recommends he head back to the locker room. Orton says he has been thinking and has decided to apologies to Hunter and Stephanie. He admits to being childish and selfish, and to get what he wants, he has to give them what they want, and tonight he starts this all when he defeats John Cena. Stephanie wants to know how they can trust him, and asks where it comes from. Orton says it comes from the heart, and as the crowd chants for Bryan, Stephanie asks if this is about the pressure of the Daniel Bryan thing getting to him. Six months ago, in this very building, he because the WWE Champion and became the face of the WWE. He wants to be the face of the WWE in and out of the ring. He wants all of the appearances, he wants all the merchandise, he wants it all; and no one in the locker room can do what he can, he is the face of the WWE, certainly not Batista.

    Daniel Bryan now makes his way to the ring. Bryan asks Orton if he really thinks that he is the heart and soul of the WWE, and then basically calls him the asshole of the WWE. Stephanie is angry about the interruption, and from now on, all appointments need to be made through the Director of Operations, Kane. Bryan says Kane is not here, and last week, he failed in helping Orton, and Bryan beat him. Bryan now wants a match with Kane, right here tonight. Stephanie says Bryan did attack Kane first, but since they do not approve of his actions, he is on administrative leave for a week, and they placed a firmly written letter of reprimand in his file. Bryan then calls them a combination of arrogance and stupidity. Orton sticks up for the Authority, kissing their ass. Bryan then brings up the fact that Orton really likes Stephanie, like the time he handcuffed Triple H to the ropes and kissed her in front of him. Triple H then says Daniel Bryan will face no one tonight, they will do what is best for business, and that is what is best for Daniel Bryan. They are giving him a well-deserved night off, enjoy. The NO chants start, and Bryan argues with Triple H, but that is that and they all leave…
