           Royal Rumble Matches: WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match: John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar(c)  THE 30 MAN ROYAL RUMBLE MATCHRAW REPORT: We had an opening segment with Hogan, Cena & Rollins. Rollins wants Authority Back. Cena says NO. Hogan books Cena vs. Rollins as the opener. This took 15 minutes. MATCH 1: SETH ROLLINS VS. JOHN CENA WILD AND OUT OF THIS WORLD PREDICTION: this match won't have a real finish. They have a match in which Jamie Noble & Joey Mercury frequently distract the ref and interfere. Right before the 8 minute mark Cena actually gave Rollins a POWERBOMB and it was good. After some back and forth punches Cena goes for his 5 moves and J&J go to interfere. Cena flings Rollins over the top rpe onto them both and the way the cameras were lined up I thought Cena was going to go for a dive - but he didn't. Cena throws Rollins in, heads to the top rope and hits the LEG DROP FROM THE TOP for a cool nearfall. Lawler tried to say that this was a rare move from Cena. Cena puts Rollins on the top rope but Rollins fights Cena off, sunset flips over him , and does a running powerbomb to the other Turnbuckle for another nearfall! Rollins goes for the Curb Stomp but gets caught. Cena locks in an STFU and J&J interfere but don't actually TOUCH Cena so it's not a DQ. Cena hits a Double AA on them, then hits Rollins with an AA for the finish. Holy poo poo I can't believe it. WINNER: John Cena via Pinfall (Attitude Adjustment) [12:18] We go to commercial and when we come back Swagger & Fandango are in the ring with no entrances. MATCH 2: JACK SWAGGER VS. FANDANGO Fandango hits his top rope legdrop and wins. WINNER: Fandango via Pinfall (Top Rope Legdrop) [02:03] They announce an IC Title match between Harper & Ziggler. Ziggler cuts the promo he always cuts about stealing the show and being a really good wrestler. This time he wasn't talking at a million miles per hour though. Very stoic. We go to commercial. We get A NEW DAY video package. Adam Rose is partying down to the ring with the exotic express. The Bunny is wearing a neck brace. Oh hey R-Truth is already in the ring! MATCH 3: R-TRUTH VS. ADAM ROSE They dance. R-truth hits a school boy and wins. WINNER: R-Truth via Pinfall (Schoolboy) [00:57] Rose hits a killer spinebuster on the bunny after the match. Rose does a running knee to the neck of the bunny when he's sitting against the steel chairs. Rose then takes off the neck brace and throws him into a barricade. JBL mentions that the Bunny looks like he's going to be out for a long time somewhere in here i think. Rose leaves alone. This angle came off like a writing off of the EXOTIC EXPRESS, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were just all together on SmackDown! Coming up next: Piper's Pit w/ Rusev! Oh wait right after Cole says that's coming up next we get a graphic saying Roman Reigns vs. Big Show is next. OK. They announce Hogan is running SmackDown! BIG SHOW IS HERE! Never believe Cole. Only believe Graphics. MATCH 4: ROMAN REIGNS VS. BIG SHOW A few fans start chanting boring 2:30 in. Reigns starts doing his big comeback 30 seconds later. He gives Big Show a Samoan Drop, hits his apron dropkick, and a Superman Punch on the outside! Big Show gets counted out. WINNER: Roman Reigns via Count Out [04:22] Dean Ambrose has an interview with Renee. He says what he wants for Christmas is Bray Wyatt. "Everytime a bell rings, Bray Wyatt gets a BEATING!" He then wishes Renee a Happy Holiday as we go to commercial. MATCH 5: BRIE BELLA VS. NATALYA I didn't watch a lot of this match but Brie hit a kickin rad running knee to the face of Natalya. That's all I'm going to type. WINNER: Natalya via Pinfall (Small Package) [03:17] Natalya hit Nikki and raised the title. Tyson Kidd was a very supportive husband. MATCH 6: GOLDUST & STARDUST VS. DIEGO & FERNANDO I STILL DON'T KNOW WHO IS DIEGO AND WHO IS FERNANDO!!!!! I IGNORED THIS MATCH FOR A LONG TIME BUT EL TORITO GOT THE PIN????????? WHAT. WINNER: Diego, Fernando & El Torito??? via Pinfall (BULLSAULT) [03:35] Luke Harper promo. He likes to take things away, he says. Tonight he's gonna give himself a present. Dolph Ziggler - he's gonna hurt him. He's gonna take that IC Title. MATCH 7: WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: DOLPH ZIGGLER © VS. LUKE HARPER Harper boots Ziggler!!! He throws him out and does a dive!! Also hits a Black Hole Slam on the outside. He throws Ziggler in the ring. Ziggler doesn't give up, Harper hits a boot and a powerbomb for a 2.99999 at 15 seconds. Then a commercial happened. Cool spot where Dolph hits a superkick, it's no sold and Harper hits a discus lariat for a nearfall. Harper goes for a powerbomb but Ziggler reverses with an X-Factor and a Fameasser for a nearfall. Ziggler hits 2 more superkicks and a zig zag for the finish! WINNER: Dolph Ziggler via Pinfall (Zig-Zag) [8:37] Lawler does a promo with Ziggler in the ring and Ziggler says exactly what you think he said. We come back from commercial and it's time for PIPER'S PIT with RUSEV and JESUS CHRIST PIPER LOOKS OLDER THAN I'VE EVER SEEN HIM. Rusev comes out. Lana cuts Piper off and is insulting the great holiday that is christmas. She isn't talking about Chanukah though so i'm good. Piper yells at her and says this is America. Anyway they show a video package of Rusev destroying Ryback last week with Bicycle kicks. Rusev threatens Piper. Piper calls them a couple of SCROOGES. Piper brings out Ryback who is wearing a Christmas Bow on his gear. Both men get into a big brawl where Rusev ends up bailing. MATCH 8: ALICIA FOX, EMMA & NAOMI vs. CAMERON, SUMMER RAE & PAIGE Cameron did a Codebreaker 30 seconds into the match. Paige gets tagged in and does this insane knee combo to Summer Rae while Lawler talks about Xanta Claus. Paige gets the heat on Summer Rae. Naomi gets the hot tag and does a rad guillitine on the apron to Cameron for a nearfall. Everyone jumps in the ring and Paige does a SUPERKICK. Alicia Fox got tagged in and won with some wacky... thing. WINNER: Alicia Fox, Emma & Naomi via Pinfall (Arm Grabby Face Bustery Fameasser Thing) [04:17] MATCH 9: THE MIZ VS. JEY USO This match needs twin magic or it's USELESS. Jey did a dive and his foot cleared the ropes! Miz reverses a pin into another pin and pulls the tights after a couple minutes and wins. There was a hairy uso rear end censor at the 3 count. WINNER: The Miz via Pinfall (Reverse Pin) [03:31] MATCH 10: MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET FIGHT: THE LUNATIC FRINGE DEAN AMROSE VS. THAT KOOKY BRAY WYATT Bray Wyatt cut a promo. Ambrose comes out and we go to commercial before the match starts. Start using Christmas Gifts and a Christmas Tree before 3 minutes. Dean opens a gift and gets a Monitor . He see's there is no wires so he puts the TV away, goes under the ring and gets a table instead!!! The Table has a bow on it. Bray breaks it up and Dean hits a suicide dive to Bray and he falls right into a giant stack of christmas gifts!!! Dean sets up the table, gets Wyatt on it, climbs to the top turnbuckle, puts a reef around his head but Wyatt bails. They fight up the ramp. This match is fun but holy cow this is supposed to be a serious a feud. Dean gets a Steel Chair with a bow on it and Wyatt dodges it and throws Ambrose of the stage through a tables. Cookies are everywhere - what a waste. We come back to ridiculous camera work of the carnage all around the ring, ignoring the headlock in the ring. I see a sign in the BG that says "NICE" and there is one next to it that I assume says 69. Wyatt cuts off Ambrose after he tries to make a comeback and throws him into a christmas tree. Wyatt grabs a Candy Cane Kendo Stick and whacks Ambrose a bunch. Wyatt sets it up to be sticking straight out from the turnbuckle, teasing tossing someone into it like it's a giant spear and not a stick. Ambrose throws Wyatt into a chair set up in the corner, setting up his comeback. Ambrose hits a Jawbreaker Lariat, grabs the Kendro stick and starts destroying Wyatt with it. He hits a White Russian Legsweep with it, goes to the top rope and hits an elbow drop with a chair for a nearfall. Ambrose introduces a ladder, and Wyatt slams him on them. This is becoming a hell of a lot more violent now as wacky as it is. They do more stuff. Wyatt throws Ambrose into that Kendo Stick that was set up on the TB and that's the finish?!?!?! WINNER: Bray Wyatt via Pinfall (THROWN INTO A KENDO STICK) [18:24] Ambrose then lays Wyatt out after the match with a fire extinguisher and an elbow through the table. PARITY BOOKING. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! GOD BLESS US EVERY ONE.

"Standing tall" doesn't have to be literal. Dean was laughing like a the maniac he is with his music playing and the crowd cheering, while Bray was lying motionless. Still, I understand why people would be upset, since most of the other faces had straight wins, yet Dean didn't. It's weird for what's supposed to be a feel-good non-canon episode. EDIT: Still really liked the match, though! PunkBoy fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Dec 23, 2014 |

Dolph was really well booked tonight because the match made both him and Harper look really strong I don't know what they are doing with Roman; I can understand using Big Show to put Roman over as a strong face, but why have him sell offense from guys like Fandango?

achillesforever6 posted:I think because later on they want to have another match where Roman beats him more convincingly after some even steven booking next week where Big Show lays out Roman because WWE is run in a way that feuds are "Okay you two have a match, 1st guy will win this match, then next week 2nd guy wins match and repeat until PPV where we either blowoff or extend it with a bullshit finish because I'm a senile old man who doesn't think he is out of touch" Right but he's not just another midcarder he's the next John Cena. He should be winning every match in the feud anyway.

I gave up on this Raw during the Rose/Truth match, and reading the results make me glad I did. The finish to Ambrose/Wyatt sounds retarded as all hell.

After the main Ambrose threw Bray back into the ring and elbow dropped him off a ladder through a table and then walked off under his own power. Raw was really fun live and didn't drag at all magically. No commentary plus a hot crowd made the night fly by. Highlight was my dad experiencing Mizdow for the first time and laughing his rear end off.
