WWE RAW Coverage: A Bunny and Some Bricks?

Seth Rollins sure likes to start drama.

Luckily, his antics came a night after he caused a bevy of problems at Night of Champions that resulted in Brock Lesnar retaining the WWE World Heavyweight title in a match he could have lost to John Cena.

In an otherwise boring an even tame episode of RAW, it was Rollins’ beef with Dean Ambrose and Cena that at least made the show stomach-able. Without it, the show would have been better than Tylenol PM.

Matches:

Intercontinental Champion The Miz w/Damien Sandow vs. Dolph Ziggler: In virtually a move for move replica of their Night of Champions match, minus R-Truth, Ziggler took care of Sandow, but was able to reverse the Miz Rollup into a Rollup of his own to reclaim the IC title.

Bo Dallas vs. Jack Swagger w/Zeb Colter: Dallas got in a few licks, but Swagger got the submission win with the Patriot Lock.

Summer Rae w/Layla vs. Natalya Neidhart w/Rosa Mendez: After Mendez took out Layla on the outside, Neidhart finished off Summer Rae with the Hart Family Sharpshooter.

Kane vs. Dean Ambrose: It’s crazy to think that Ambrose was in control the whole match and had it won with the Dirty Deeds before Rollins interfered to get the match thrown out. After the bell, Kane hit the Chokeslam to ensure the feud continues.

United States Champion Sheamus and Jimmy and Jey Uso vs. Cesaro and WWE Tag Team Champion Stardust and Goldust: A lengthy match with a cool finish as Goldust had Jimmy Uso dead in the water with the Final Cut, but after Sheamus broke up the pin, he hit the Brogue Kick on Stardust and eliminated Cesaro. Soon enough, The Usos hit the Super Kick and Splash to get the win.

Mark Henry vs. Alexander Rusev w/Lana: Henry tried, but wasn’t 100 percent and it didn’t take Rusev long to latch on The Accolade to earn the submission victory.

Adam Rose and Bunny vs. Heath Slater and Titus O’Neil: Once again the high-flying antics of the Bunny took care of Titus O’Neil while Rose finished off Slater with the Party Foul.

Divas Champion AJ Lee vs. Nikki Bella: Seconds after Nikki got slapped around by her sister Brie, Lee hit the ring and the match began, with former Divas Champion Paige ringside as well. Despite that, Bella was the aggressor for most of the match until Lee won with the Octopus Stretch following a counter in the corner.

Randy Orton w/Seth Rollins and Kane vs. John Cena: Orton and Cena traded power moves, but Orton was in control for a good chunk of the match. But again, just like earlier, the second Cena had the match in hand, with Orton stick in the STF, Kane and Rollins interfered to get the match thrown out. After a Kane Chokeslam, Cena appeared finished and that’s why the trio dragged him to what they thought were cement blocks. Instead, it was Dean Ambrose, who quickly took out all three members of the Authority before Cena helped him out and Rollins ran out of the arena.
