Monday Night Raw – April 7, 2014 (2015 Redo): How To Do This Right
Monday Night Raw
Date: April 7, 2014
Location: Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, Louisiana
Attendance: 12,500
Commentators: Michael Cole, John Bradshaw Layfield, Jerry Lawler
A graphic of Lesnar standing over Undertaker with the caption “streak conquered” got the loudest heat of the night.
Wyatt Family vs. Sheamus/John Cena/Big E.
Slam City ad.
Fandango/Summer Rae vs. Santino Marella/Emma
Adam Rose is coming. That should have opened house shows for years but why not just turn him heel and completely miss the point of the character? Or we could have a bunny upstage him.
Tag Team Titles: Usos vs. Randy Orton/Batista
A SICK powerbomb onto the steps crushes Jimmy.
Rob Van Dam vs. Damien Sandow
Rey Mysterio vs. Bad News Barrett
Video on Rusev, who debuts next.
Alexander Rusev vs. Zack Ryder
Rusev quickly takes him into the corner before holding him against the ropes for the knees to the ribs. The jumping superkick and a spinning slam sets up the Accolade for the first win of many.
Hall of Fame video.
Divas Title: AJ Lee vs. Paige
The champ jumps her to start and drops Paige with a running elbow. The Black Widow goes on but Paige powers out, hits a horrible looking Paige Turner and wins the title in a shock. Well as much of a shock as it can be given how obvious it was.
Bolieve!
Jack Swagger vs. Cesaro
We recap the opening sequence that set up the main event.
WWE World Title: Daniel Bryan vs. HHH
Kane is ready to fight but HHH sends him back to the ropes, only to turn around for a spear from Reigns. The fight is on and Ambrose and Rollins hit a great looking double dive to take down Batista and Orton. A Superman Punch puts Kane down and HHH is surrounded. Bryan gets back up for the running knee and the Authority runs to fight another day to end the show.
