WWE RAW REPORT: DANIEL BRYAN BOMBSHELL; THE SHIELD AND EVOLUTION MEET A FEW TIMES; DIVAS SHOWCASED; AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2014-05-12 23:05:00
The show starts off with a recap of last week and what happened to the members of the Shield, including Dean Ambrose losing the United States Title after almost a year as champion.

We are in Greenville, South Carolina and your announcers are Michael ‘The Preshow panel is the true darkest timeline’ Cole, John ‘Land of the Cackalacky’ Layfield, and Jerry ‘Are there any matches for Payback’ Lawler.

The Shield are in the ring and they have something to say.

Dean Ambrose says last week you saw something you don’t see very often and will not see very often in the future. All three members of the Shield were laid out on their backs. They got the crap kicked out of them. That is alright. They may go down, but they don’t stay down. They are standing tall in this ring and he wants to make himself very clear. THEY WANT EVOLUTION

Seth says that they are not running from Evolution, they are running to Evolution. If they have any guts and are half the men they think they are, they will accept their challenge for a rematch and they will run through Evolution. When they show up tonight, they will hunt Evolution down. Seth says that Evolution is good. They are former World Champions and they main evented Wrestlemanias. They were good.

They are not the Evolution they once were because they cannot evolve into what it takes to beat the Shield.

Seth asks Roman if he is okay because he is pacing.

Roman takes the mic and says a week ago, you victimized his brothers and then you bloodied him, RKOed him, Pedigreed him, and triple power bombed him. Is that all you got? They can serve their type of justice cold or slow. They will teach them about the concept of payback. They will teach you to believe in the Shield and to believe in him.

Evolution pulls into the arena in a limo and Hunter comes out first.

The Shield run to the back and they go after Evolution.

Meanwhile, in the back, Hunter is looking over some paperwork to sign while Orton and Batista stand behind him. They walk into the arena and the Shield ambush them.

Officials separate the Shield and Evolution.

Zeb Colter is talking as we come back from commercial. Zeb wants everyone to sit there and shut up. A Real American would sit and listen to him. Last week, he was unveiling one of the most important document in US history since the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. He unveiled his Deportation List. He was interrupted by his newest addition to the list. He calls Adam Rose’s people a bunch of hippies and Rocky Horror Picture Show rejects. Anyone who hangs around with a giant bunny does not have much to add. He tells Adam to stay away.

Match Number One: Rob Van Dam versus Jack Swagger (with Zeb Colter)

As soon as the bell rings, Adam Rose’s music plays and the Exotic Express makes its way to the stage. Rose gets on the ropes and Swagger tries to punch him, but Rose does a dive into the Exotic Express.

Swagger finally turns around and Van Dam with a thrust kick and Five Star Frog Splash for the three count.

Winner: Rob Van Dam

After the match, the party continues in the aisle and then they go up the ramp and to the stage. It looks like Van Dam wants to join the celebration.

We go to a video package for Paige and then we go to commercial.

We are back and it is time to BOLIEVE.

Before the match, Alicia gets on the mic and she says that Paige has been on the roster for six weeks and she has been able to alienate everyone. There is something about her that doesn’t fit so she tells Paige to get out. Alicia punches and kicks Paige before the match starts. Alicia with knees to Paige and she wants to know if she is ready.

It is time to see the latest horror feature from WWE Films: Kane and Stephanie torment Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella into fits of screaming and acts of automobile violence.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Daniel Bryan makes his way to the ring. Noticeably absent is Daniel’s wife Brie.

Daniel thanks everyone in the arena and at home. It has been a long road to get here. Daniel says that from the moment he won the WWE Title at SummerSlam before Randy Orton cashed in the Money in the Bank contract, he knew it would be an uphill battle. The hill is just a little steeper than he thought.

Daniel laughs and says that this is how it feels to be John Cena.

The Authority has thrown everybody at him, but due to everyone in the crowd and at home, they beat the odds and he walked out as the WWE World Champion.

Daniel says that when you are the WWE World Champion, that puts a huge target on your back. As soon as he came back from his honeymoon, he got the worst beating of his life. He got tombstoned three times. Because of that, Daniel says that he was in a neck brace. He was determined to come back and beat Kane. He did that at Extreme Rules.

That comes with a price. Daniel says that his entire style comes with a price. The reason why a lot of people cheer him and chant for him is because he has paid this price with his body. Unfortunately, Daniel says that he has to pay the price this week. Daniel says that he has to undergo neck surgery. He will be doing it on Thursday and he says that this has been his dream since being a little kid.

There are some people who are happy about this. Triple H, Stephanie, and Kane seem excited about this and to them, his career is done. There is a chance it could be, but it won’t be.

Daniel says that he does not know when he will come back, but he will come back.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Evolution makes their way to the ring and Batista and Orton are dressed to wrestle while Hunter is still in his suit.

Orton says that he has had enough and it is time to take the gloves off and time to start treating the Shield the way they should. He knows that the Shield were Hunter’s boys in the past, but it is time to put the hounds to sleep.

Batista says that he has had enough. He says that he is done with this.

Hunter says that maybe it is time to take the gloves off and finish this thing with The Shield. At Extreme Rules, they proved how good they are. That is why he brought them, coddled them, and protected them. It was to make them into something. They got too big and he thought he could salvage something out of them.

That little ‘so called’ attempt at an ambush was the last straw. The Shield is undisciplined and they are like little kids waving a stick around.

Does the Shield want a rematch at Payback for a match they already won. They have their rematch and this one will be different. They will take them apart one by one.

First, Dean Amborse will be humbled. After they are done, they will move on to the architect, Seth Rollins. He will pull the wings off the hummingbird himself. Then they will move on to the big dog, Roman Reigns. Do you want us to believe in you? Hunter says that they will take their time with Roman and they will make an example out of Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns will be the member of the Shield that does not come back from Payback. Roman Reigns will fail to adapt. At Payback, you will per. . .

Seth Rollins takes Hunter down and then Reigns and Ambrose come into the ring and they attack Evolution. Hunter is sent out of the ring and so is Orton. Batista is sent out of the ring as well.

Batista says that he has had enough. He has had enough of all of you. Batista says that Reigns is the big dog. He wants to face him tonight.

We go to commercial.
