Overview:
A day removed from Hell in a Cell, and Raw starts with promote 12-Man Tag Team match for tonight's Main Event. Following that we get Randy Orton facing off with Drew McIntyre, and Orton just destroys McIntyre in the opening minutes. McIntyre, fights back with a Big Boot and rope hung chokes. McIntyre follows up with brawling tactics, until Orton begins to hit his signatures. Orton follows through with the RKO, picking up the pinfall and win. After the match as McIntyre, tries getting up Orton hits him with another RKO as Mark Henry makes his way to the ringside. Orton flies right out to him and the two brawl about as security separates them, Henry breaks free and jumps Orton and Orton replies in the same way. Orton even goes to pushing Henry into the crowd, before allowing security to do their job.
After the first break, we return to Henry standing in the ring pacing about awaiting his opponent for the night. During that time as Henry waits for John Morrison we get told that Big Show is returning to Smackdown this Friday. Morrison starts off with working on Henry's knee, leading to him grounding Henry fast. Morrison lands the Knee Smash and Starship Pain but can't manage the pinfall. Henry kicks out, and goes right for the World's Strongest Slam and wins. Following the match Henry hits the World's Strongest Slam on Morrison again and cuts a promo about how he's done with Orton along with calling out Big Show. Backstage, John Lauriniatis holds another meeting with the disgruntled WWE Superstars like Vickie Guerrero and her Stable, Christian, and Alberto Del Rio to name a few.
Now in ring all the guys that were backstage with Lauriniatis, are in the ring. The whole group is Alberto Del Rio, Christian, Cody Rhodes, David Otunga, Vickie Guerrero, Dolph Ziggler, and Jack Swagger. Del Rio, starts off since he's the new WWE Champion so he has to rant about defeating Cena and Punk along with Awesome Truth attacking him. Christian follows up about WWE COO Triple H, then he passes it off to Rhodes, and it goes on like this for awhile. When it finally gets to Vickie the crowd just boo's her none stop as usual before passing it someone no one cares about Otunga! Triple H finally shows up and chews them out for being the whining losers they are and for them to do their job.
Next match on the card is a Divas' Tag Team match with Kelly Kelly and Eve facing Beth Phoenix and Natalya, AGAIN! Kelly and Phoenix start the match and brawl outside leading to Eve and Natalya to get involved. This all leads to the match becoming a No-Contest, while Kelly destroys Phoenix! Backstage Triple H, talks with Lauriniatis about Miz and R-Truth from last night, along with when Triple H hitting Lauriniatis. Triple H, even then chews out Lauriniatis yet again it's like Lauriniatis loves doing the same crap each week!
After a commerical break, we come to a promo for Fast Five then a match with Jinder Mahal and Santino Marella. Mahal just beats Santino with knees, until falling into the Cobra. Santino picks up the win and swiftly exits the ring leaving Mahal feuding in the ring. Following a short break, we see a brief promo for Brodus Clay whose soon to have his return to tv. Then we get the scenes of Miz and R-Truth attacking everyone in the WWE Championship, Hell in a Cell match. Following the scenes from last night, we get the Youtube video of Miz and R-Truth apologizing along with them sueing Triple H. Before heading into the commerical break, the 12-Man Tag Team match begins! CM Punk, John Cena, Sheamus, Mason Ryan, and Air Boom facing Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, David Otunga, Cody Rhodes, Alberto Del Rio and Christian with Vickie Guerrero. This hopefully won't suck for a main event.
The 12-Man Tag begins with Sheamus and Mason over powering the opposite team. The match flips back and forth, for awhile. During a the match Del Rio dropkicks Kofi in the back of the head which looked badass. The match continues, and Air Boom get involved for match leading to Bourne almost winning the match for their team. Vickie puts Swagger's leg on the rope breaking the count but leads to her getting kicked out. The match continues with alot more of reversals and great moments to the match. The whole match ends when everyone gets involved hitting their finishers on each other, and thus allows Sheamus to pick up the pinfall on Ziggler.
Following the main event we get this huge promo thing about does everyone trust Triple H as COO. The ringside is filled by Raw, Smackdown and Referee rosters along with Jerry "the King" Lawler's return. Triple H makes his entrance and talks about him running the business the way he knows how to. Someone tries to cut him off and he tells them to shut up, that person was Wade Barrett. Triple H then responds on how Wade Barrett was once a problem to the WWE. Chioda then explains how the referees fear coming to their jobs; before Beth Phoenix cuts in about who'll look out for the Divas? The King even, agrees with how everything is coming out of control and how knows someone doesn't want him in charge. Then everyone votes for no confidence in him, leading to the whole roster leaving even the announcers and camera-men go except Jim Ross who was the very last. Lauriniatis comes out for a brief minute then leaves, while the crowd cheers for Triple H.
Review:
This Raw began great and ended pretty great. Almost all of the matches were great matches on the card, a first in a good while in which I've seen. The 12-Man Tag Team match was the best on the whole card, and is the only thing I plan to talk about here along with the "No Confidence" vote. The main event match, was great my only issue was no Zac Ryder! They replaced Ryder for Ryan, which it's like hey look Batista V2 he's awesome and cool so we'll push him and not Ryder. Anyways the match was fast paced and Cole even quoted the match was like Fast and Furious and it was. The way they mostly marketed team Ziggler rather team Cena, even thou Cena's team had several good faces. The only members from Cena's team, that wrestled the most were Air Boom, Punk and Sheamus ironically Ryan nor Cena was given enough time in the match which isn't a issue. So when looking at the match it was performed greatly as it tried to market its best wrestlers. As for the 'No Confidence' thing it was stupid and all foreseeable that Triple H would be walked out on. Just it was bad that none of the better 'Face' Superstars even appeared at the meeting to support him. It just look stupid and boring, cause it was foreseeable! WWE could of made it such a better promo if they took the damn time to plan this. That's why this end promo of the night killed my actual rating as it became 4 out of 5-Stars!
