WWE RAW 15th July Results
The show opens with Brad Maddox as this is his first RAW as the General Manager. He comes out and speaks about this being the beginning of a new era and Cena’s music hits. Cena gives us the usual trash and Orton comes out with the MITB briefcase. He talks about cashing in the case when Cena least expects it.
Fandango makes his way out and gets taken out by Orton when he’s trying to pronounce his name correctly. Cena wants none of this and leaves the ring while Maddox makes this an official match.
Fandango vs Randy Orton
Orton remained in control throughout the match, and even a commercial didn’t give Fandango any sort of relevance in the match. Despite a few impressive counters Orton managed to stay dominant, and after pepping up the crowd a bit, ended the match with an RKO.
Winner: Randy Orton
Dolph Ziggler breaks up with AJ backstage. Mark Henry is shown inside the ring, and he speaks about losing to Cena and how Cena is the best Champion in the company today. He says Cena can make anybody tap and says he should be Cena’s opponent in SummerSlam.
The Shield then attack Henry as he tries to fight them off. Despite his best efforts Henry is unable to manage them and Reigns takes out the World’s Strongest Man with a spear and then they hit the triple powerbomb on Henry.
RVD vs Chris Jericho later on in the show
Alberto Del Rio vs Dolph Ziggler
A well fought match that had several good moments, Ziggler garnered a lot of support as the crowd managed to stay with him all along. Del Rio looked solid as a heel like always. The match ended abruptly as the bell rang without any reason. Later it was shown that AJ rang the bell and as Ziggler was trying to understand what was going on, Big E Langston came in and hit Ziggler with the Big Ending.
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
R-Truth makes his way out to be the Wyatt Family’s second victim. Harper and Rowan start the proceedings as they take out Truth. Wyatt comes in and delivers a pr0mo that many in the crowd aren’t too keen on listening.
WWE App time and the fans choose the Usos to take on the Real Americans Cesaro and Swagger.
The Usos vs The Real Americans
Short lived match that was nothing but a filler. The Usos stole the victory after Cesaro was rolled up for the pin.
Winner: The Usos
Christian vs Damien Sandow
Both wrestlers start with back and forth moves as Christian is shoved to the outside. He comes back and hits a few signature moves on Sandow and finally after a few reversals Christian counters the Elbow of Disdain to pick up the victory.
Winner: Christian
Cody Rhodes attacks Sandow out of nowhere, and he immediately receives a huge support from the crowd.
Brie Bella vs Naomi
Nothing special here as this was another Divas match. Brie Bella manages to gain control for a while but Naomi powers out from a Camel Clutch and hits a cross body for the pin.
Winner: Naomi
CM Punk is out next as he calls out for Heyman and Lesnar. Heyman comes out and talks about how Heyman helped Punk become the best in the world, and how without him Punk is nothing. Punk seems pissed off at this and vows to take out Heyman and swears this on Heyman’s children. Lesnar makes his way to the ring to the crowd’s delight. Punk tries to fight Lesnar, but he is just too much for Punk. Despite Punk’s efforts Lesnar toys with Punk and then hits the F-5 on the announce table as the crowd cheered for Punk throughout the brawl.
RVD vs Chris Jericho
There couldn’t have been a better main event as two of the company’s best workers were put together to give us the best match of the night. The match was long enough for both of them to showcase the best of their talent. Extreme back and forth action as both these wrestlers countered moves exceptionally well. The commercials were a bit irritating as the momentum seemed to break every time they gained pace. RVD managed to pick up the win after 5 Star Frog Splash.
Winner: RVD
Cena came out to the ring and it was time he chose his SummerSlam opponent. He lists a few names and then asks for the crowd to help him out. The crowd chants YES and then Daniel Bryan’s name. Cena chose Daniel Bryan and Bryan makes his way into the ring to a huge pop. He screams YES on Cena’s face and celebrates with the crowd as the show ends.
