411’s WWE Monday Night Raw Report 3.24.14
No Sleep Till Brooklyn
Randy Orton now makes his way out to the ring. He’s not here to argue with anything she said or to disrespect her. He respects the Authority too much to do what he will ultimately have to do if Triple H beats Bryan at WM. Stephanie says when, so Orton says when Triple H wins, he cannot be held responsible for what he will have to do to him. The kids, parents, and executives will be there (Bryan chants) and Stephanie cuts them off, saying he will not be here. Orton says he will beat Triple H and Batista to a pulp at WrestleMania. Orton says Stephanie is smart and intelligent, but he thinks that Triple H should beat down Bryan again, but let Triple H leave WM a winner, make him walk away from the title match. (Boring chants)
Batista now makes his way out to the ring. Batista says this is all driving him crazy, he said it since day one, he will be the next champion. He doesn’t care it is Bryan, Triple H or Orton, he will walk out with the title (asshole chants). Batista says to deal with it. His mic is broken as he explains how much Triple H has done for him. He does a mic check, and reiterates that he respects Triple H, but adds that Triple H has never beaten him, and if he makes the title match, he won’t win there either. Batista says Orton makes him sick, kissing ass to Stephanie and Triple H. Batista says he is not trying to break his heart, but he thinks Stephanie has been drooled on before. Actually, she has been drooled on a lot. Stephanie slaps the piss out of him and leaves. Orton laughs about this, so Batista spears him. He then poses with the titles.

Triple H makes his way to the ring for this special in ring sit down interview with Michael Cole. Brown shoes with that suit Cole? For shame. Anyway, Cole says they usually have their weekly interview on Wednesdays, but they agreed that they should do this live tonight. We see footage of the attack on Daniel Bryan from last week. Cole asks how he can justify his actions. Triple H wants to know if he is to answer as a competitor or the COO. Triple H says Bryan and the fans knew what they wanted, and they got what they were asking for. He wonders if Cole has been shackled and defenseless and had to do what others wanted. Cole says Triple H handcuffed Bryan before he beat him, but Triple H says that Bryan and his hijacking of Raw is what he is discussing. Occupy Raw, the YES movement, Bryan and the fans stood in this ring, where the fans were put in harm’s way, in an attempt to take over. Triple H asks where was Cole’s mock horror when the show was being taken over. Cole says some feel what Triple H did was thug like. Triple H says there is a confusion. Bryan wanted The Game, and Triple H says he told Bryan that he didn’t want to, bur Bryan and the fans forced the issue, and they made him become a competitor. And then, they got what they asked for last week, and Bryan got what he deserved. But now they will all cry about it. Triple H wonders what happened to the world since he stopped competing full time. He used to do horrible things to people, and he’s look into the fan’s eyes, and he would see the lust and desire for success. They would fight the system, and they were strong. By now he sees pathetic, soft, apathy, he sees a bunch of little people with no power or desire, and when they don’t get what they want they cry. Why don’t you Tweet him about it he says. He cannot stand what the world has become, so maybe he has to change the future. Maybe he starts the reality era. This is the beginning of the reality era. That means at WrestleMania, he ends Bryan’s run at the top. He ends the YES movement. At WrestleMania, when he finishes that, he steps back into the ring, and no one will stop him; he will win the WWE Title, and that is reality. He has the power to make it happen, and they all know it is true. The reality era means that the reality is that he will walk out of WrestleMania the WWE World Champion.

Brock Lesnar and is advocate, Paul Heyman, make their way to the ring. Heyman does his usual introduction, and says his client’s opponent, at WrestleMania, the Undertaker, holds a tremendous accomplishment; he is 21-0 at WrestleMania. He humbly submits that it is not a streak, it is an undefeated streak. So at WrestleMania 30, when Lesnar defeats the Undertaker, he wants to assure you that it will not take away from Taker’s 21 consecutive victories. Heyman says Cena could not do it, they named a battle royal after Andre the Giant who could not do it, Lesnar himself will never be able to do it either. WrestleMania is the showcase of the immortals, and it is where one era will end and another will begin. To break the streak, is something special. So when the Undertaker attacked Lesnar, and then attacked Heyman… Lesnar grabs the mic and says enough. Lesnar is not here to promote, he is here to fight. Undertaker, you are here, I am here, lets do this!
We heard the chanting and see a casket on the stage. The druids then start to appear as fog fills the stage area. The druids then bring the casket to the ringside area. Lesnar and Heyman wait, the casket is at ringside and the druids leave. A spotlight hits the casket and the camera caught the apron moving (Taker exiting) as Lesnar kicks at the casket. Lesnar stomps on it some more, as Heyman says he doesn’t like this. Lesnar continues to kick at the casket. Lesnar doesn’t want to leave, and then opens the casket to nothing. It’s empty. Lesnar yells asking if this is a joke, and starts to yell at the druids and backs them off, leaving Heyman alone in the ring.
Heyman has the mic as the crowd chants for Taker. Lesnar says he is not here to play games. Lesnar says he is leaving, and Heyman says that is the game Taker is playing. Heyman says that the streak is the Holy Grail, and Taker asks Lesnar to appear in a sleazy place like Brooklyn, but all he brings is an empty casket. Taker then appears in the casket, and Heyman freaks the fuck out. He is so awesome. Taker and Lesnar stand off, and they brawl! Rapid fire punches by Taker, and then clotheslines Lesnar over the top and he rolls off the casket and to the floor. Heyman begs Lesnar to back off, and then Lesnar points at the WrestleMania sign as does Taker.
The Taker’s dong hits to end the segment.
