Night Raw
Date: October 27, 2014
Location: AT&T Center, San Antonio, Texas
Commentators: Michael Cole, John Bradshaw Layfield, Jerry Lawler
We open with a package of stills from Rollins vs. Ambrose, including what looked like a ghost popping up in the middle of the ring when Wyatt appeared. Cena vs. Orton gets a package of its own.
Tag Team Titles: Big Show/Mark Henry vs. Stardust/Goldust
Henry gives him two more Slams and a splash after the match.
Video on Roman Reigns.
AJ Lee vs. Alicia Fox
Paige apologizes post match but destroys Fox with a kick to the chest and a catapult into the barricade.
Usos vs. Miz/Damien Mizdow
Mizdow is already mimicking Miz even on the apron. Jimmy blocks some hiptoss attempts and gets two off a Bubba Bomb. Miz comes back with a clothesline and points to Mizdow but chokes Jimmy instead of tagging. A clothesline puts Miz on the floor and Mizdow runs outside to lay next to him. The double Uso dive takes the heels down and we go to a break. Back with Miz driving Jey into the apron for two.
Cena and Ziggler shake hands in the back so maybe John has his first recruit.
Bo Dallas comes out for an open challenge.
Bo Dallas vs. Ryback
Ryback appears to be a face again and the fans are WAY behind him. A release gorilla press and spinebuster set up the Meat Hook and Shell Shock for the pin at 1:11. I can totally dig Ryback as the machine again.
We recap the opening segment.
Cesaro vs. Dean Ambrose
Nikki Bella vs. Naomi
Naomi quickly takes her down to start but gets caught in an Alabama Slam out of the corner. They head outside for a few seconds so Nikki can ram her into the apron before throwing on a chinlock back inside. Naomi makes her comeback and sends Nikki to the floor but Brie reluctantly cheats to give her sister the advantage, setting up the Rack Attack for the pin at 4:20.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Kane
Rollins comes out for the beatdown until Cena makes the save.
John Cena vs. Seth Rollins
This time Cena goes after him and sends him into the barricade before hammering away even more. Seth drives him ribs first into the apron to take over. They head back inside where Mercury gets in a cheap shot before Cena is thrown right back outside. After the Stooges get in their cheap shots, Seth takes Cena back inside and actually stays in for awhile this time. Rollins gets two off a Blockbuster and we take a break.
