411’s WWE Raw Report 3.17.14

March 17, 2014 | Posted by Larry Csonka

WWE Raw Pre-Show (From The WWE Network)

  • Josh Matthews, Alex Riley, The Miz and Jason Albert (the former Tensai) are the panel for the week. The first thing they hype is John Cena responding to the Wyatt Family, again. Talk then moves to Triple H making an appearance to address the Occupy Raw movement. We get video of that angle from last week.
  • Following the video package, the panel discusses whether or not Daniel Bryan can continue to out play The Game. The Miz says that the people want Daniel Bryan in the main event, and says that Triple H will do everything in his power to make sure that doesn’t happen.
  • In a match that just finished, Natalya defeated Alicia Fox on Superstars. Lawler interviews Natalya, and Natalya is excited about her victory. Lawler brings up Total Divas, and wants some inside scoop. Natalya says that season two of the show will have several surprises. She has some plans for revenge against Summer Rae.
  • The panel then discusses last week’s main event, featuring Batista and Orton vs. Show and Bryan. Talk then turns to the battle of former Evolution members, Orton and Batista. Miz says that Batista is fresh, which Orton is tired from the WWE grind.
  • Following a great video package of the segment with Hogan, the panel now discusses the Bray Wyatt vs. John Cena feud. Albert feels that Cena bit off more than he can chew, while Miz says he has faced Cena at WrestleMania and knows what Cena is all about. Wyatt hasn’t been in that environment. It looks like 3MB vs. Truth and Woods going on for Superstars.
  • We see Hulk Hogan’s announcement of the “Andre the Giant 30 Man, Over the Top Rope, Memorial, Battle Royal, Brother, Dude, Jack”.
  • Byron Saxton spoke with Brad Maddox earlier today. He talks about the “Andre the Giant 30 Man, Over the Top Rope, Memorial, Battle Royal, Brother, Dude, Jack,” and in interrupted by Damien Sandow. Sandow says that he handled Daniel Bryan’s occupation poorly, and wants to be in the “Andre the Giant 30 Man, Over the Top Rope, Memorial, Battle Royal, Brother, Dude, Jack”. Maddox says he is in, but that he has something to learn later.
  • The panel puts over the battle royal as Albert’s Boston accent has taken over.
  • Scheduled for Raw tonight, the Real Americans face tag tam champions the Usos in a non-title match.
  • Renee Young is with Jack Swagger. Swagger says to carry on as the rest of the group is late. Cesaro and Colter arrive, and say that Swagger told them the interview was somewhere else. Colter plays peacekeeper, and says tonight is important as they face the tag team champions. They calm down and agree that they want to beat the champions to earn a title shot. WE THE PEOPLE!
  • They thank the fans for making the WWE Network such a success thus far.
  • We get clips from last week’s Raw, where Paul Heyman interrupted the Undertaker, and then proceeded to make the streak even more impressive by being Paul Heyman.
  • Paul Heyman will be here tonight and will talk, which should be great.
  • The commentary team makes their way to the ring.
  • We get final hype for the show.
  • The pre-show ends.

    411’s WWE Monday Night Raw Report 3.17.14

  • Triple H is in the ring to kick off the show. He wants us to understand that when this is all said and done that it will be our fault. It didn’t have to come to this. He will crush our dreams, end the YES movement and end Daniel Bryan. He is doing so because his hand was forced. He will do what he does, he will be cold and calculated, and he will end Daniel Bryan. And he will have words with Daniel Bryan later tonight.

    Batista now makes his way out, walking alone in skinny jeans into the pit of danger. Batista says Triple H may have problems with Daniel Bryan, but he now has bigger issues with Batista. Who does Triple H think he is giving Bryan a shot to be in “his WrestleMania main event”. Batista came back to win the title and he earned his right by winning the Rumble. He didn’t come back to be in a triple threat, so what the hell was Triple H thinking. Triple H asks Batista if he thinks that Bryan really has a chance of winning.

    And now Randall Orton, Esquire makes his way to the ring. Orton agrees with Big Dave on this one. Why make it even appear to be a possibility that their match could be a triple threat. Triple H says that he will speak slowly so we can understand, that will not happen, he will not lose to Daniel Bryan. He then asks if Bryan got in their heads, but Batista says not as much as he has gotten into Triple H’s. Orton wants Bryan tonight, in a NO DQ match, and he will prove that he can end the problem, unlike Big Dave. Triple H makes the match. Orton then tells Batista that the people cheer Bryan is because they do not believe in Batista. Orton then says when Batista left, no one cared, and when he returned, no one cared. Batista says the people love Bryan because Orton sucks as champion. He then says he is a paper champion, and only has the titles because of Triple H. They argue as Triple H tries to keep them apart, and then Triple H bails. Batista tells Triple H to “fix this” and Triple H says he is sick of everything of here. Sick of little trolls like Bryan, sick of the fans cheering for him, and sick of Hollywood stars coming back thinking that they can tell him what is right for the business. He is sick of technically gifted guys who are so messed up that they cannot win a match without Triple H holding his hand. Maybe the old man was right, the only one you can trust is yourself. There will be a triple threat match at WrestleMania. Because when Triple H beats Daniel Bryan, TRIPLE H will be the third man!

  • As Triple H leaves, Orton hits Batista with an RKO!

  • Batista walks, and is not happy, saying that coming back was a big mistake. He leaves the arena. Or does he?

They have spent a lot of time together, they get along sometimes, and others they don’t. He respects them, and says that he is afraid of Bray Wyatt. Afraid of who he is and what he stands for. But he is more afraid that the people are listening. Wyatt is different, usually it is about who is the best and proving it. Wyatt doesn’t care about that, he just wants to destroy. He wants to destroy Cena’s legacy, and everything he built. Wyatt wants you to believe Cena is a lie, is a phony, and that Cena is filled with evil. Cena has been through too much, he is afraid, but he believes in everything he has done and stands for. WrestleMania is about fighting for every scar he has, every injury he suffered, for every fan that believed in him. he will fight for everything at WrestleMania, he will fight for his legacy.

    The Wyatt Family appears on the big screen as Wyatt wears a Cena shirt. He says kids believe in superheroes because they want to know that the world is good, but they are too young to know it is all a lie; Wyatt says his childhood was not all sunshine and flowers. He got scars, blades are sharp, and fire burns, and everything you love will wither away and die. He can be like Cena, he can kiss babies, he can shake hands, he can go home to his plastic girlfriend and live in a castle. Wyatt says he is different, and at WM, he doesn’t care if he dies, as long as the world sees Cena in the way he does. Follow the buzzards.

It was dangerous, and violated health codes, that endangered the audience, who they are here to protect. Kane knows that Daniel Bryan could not have done this on his own, and through an investigation, has discovered he had help.

The Shield all turn to Kane and allow Lawler to escape. Kane is not happy about this, and starts to yell at them. They surround him and its ass kicking time!

  • Bray and the family pose over the fallen Kofi.
  • Triple H and Bryan have talky time, next.

  • Triple H makes his way to the ring to have a talk with Daniel Bryan. He has things he wants to get off his chest, man to man, and calls out Daniel Bryan. Bryan makes his way out to the ring, and Triple H thanks him for coming out. He has some things to say, and it isn’t popular that he is out here tonight, and his wife may not talk to him tonight. A lot of things have led to this moment, and a lot has happened since Summerslam. Triple H says everything he did he did because he believes it is best for business, and it is not personal. He says this was not personal, just what is best for WWE. He says he may not understand that, and he cannot expect Bryan or the fans to understand the decisions he has to make day in and out, but with that being said, a lot has happened. Last week Bryan crossed a line, but he is willing to let it go, but they are in this moment, and it feels as if it was supposed to happen. But in three weeks on the biggest stage ever, they will step into the ring and they will fight. Triple H will no apologize for what he will do nor should Bryan. They will do what they do best, but when it is all said and done, Bryan crossed the line, and now he has to put an end to it. He has no choice but to end the YES movement, to end the uprising, no choice but to shut it down. And if he has to put an end to Bryan, then no apologies. That’s what he has to do, what is best for business, and he wanted to look him in the eye and say no hard feelings, and let the best man win. He offers Bryan his hand, and Bryan refuses. Triple H says that is cool and says he would do the same thing. Before he goes, he wants to say one thing, he has dumped a ton on him since Summerslam. He has stopped him, beaten him, everything possible. He has dumped a world on him and Bryan is still standing. Triple He says the fans chant for him because they respect him. Bryan has gone through all the crap, when others would have folded and took their ball and gone home (Punk dig!). They chant for Punk as Triple H says Bryan has earned his respect.

    Stephanie appears and says what he did last week was illegal and disrespectful. She is no pressing charges, you spit in the face of her family, and you suffer the consequences. She calls out the cops. Triple H and Stephanie argue as the cops head towards the ring. She is pissed that he respects Bryan. The cops tackle Bryan and cuff him. Triple H then tells the cops to stop, and says that this is not what he wants. After all they aren’t even real cops. He tells them to leave. He is really looking forward to doing this himself. Triple H attacks the handcuffed Bryan and pummels him. Stephanie is pleased by this turn of events as they spill to the floor and Bryan is tossed into the steps. Bryan tries to fight back, but Triple H slams him onto the announce table. Triple H then tosses Bryan to the barricade as Stephanie mockingly chants YES in his face. Triple H with more rights and again slams him to the barricade. Bryan keeps trying to fight back, and then Triple H tries to DROWN HIM in the water bucket at ringside. Triple H slams him on the announce table once again as Stephanie mocks the YES chants. More rights by Triple H and then he mocks the YES chants. Stephanie then gets to slap Bryan a few times. Bryan yells that she hits like a girl, so she slaps him repeatedly. Triple H lays him on the apron by the post, grabs a chair and destroys him with it. Stephanie appears turned on by this, and stares at Bryan as Triple H poses in the ring over him. And then we get the pedigree on Bryan as Triple H mouths “YES, YES, YES”. Triple H and Stephanie pose. He says this is our ring, our house, our show and it belongs to us. There is no YES movement.

  • Stay tuned for coverage of the post-game show!
