Monday Night Raw 10-2-14

(It has been a week, and the WWE Universe is still cheering over Daniel Bryan’s grueling victory over Randy Orton. Yet even though the former WWE Champion made a strong case for himself as the new “Face of WWE,” it’s a face from Bryan’s past – Kane’s – who may prove to be his undoing. While Bryan sorts out his issues with WWE’s monstrous Director of Operations, Randy Orton faces his next challenge, and the one and only Betty White drops by for this week’s Raw.)

wwe.com are focusing on the following 5 points


1. Face lift (When Triple H and Stephanie McMahon said Daniel Bryan could be the new "Face of WWE" if he beat Randy Orton, they probably didn’t expect him to actually win. Still, he pulled it off, and now The Authority has some uncomfortable decisions to make. With Orton finding new reasons to complain week in and week out, and Bryan making good on his promises, might the corporate power actually consider putting a beard on WWE’s face?)

2. Somebody's gonna get it (It has been about a month since the WWE Universe last saw Mark Henry, whose elbow was both dislocated and fractured after the former World Champion threw hands against Brock Lesnar. Now, though, The World’s Strongest Man is all healed up and ready to roll. Who’s the first check-in to the reopened Hall of Pain?)

3. Betty White! (Yep, that Betty White. The legendary comedian is headed to Raw as this week’s guest star, and shenanigans are sure to unfold when the famously outspoken “Hot in Cleveland” star meets the always interesting WWE locker room. Personally, we’re hoping she runs into Goldust in the first five minutes, but let’s face it: There’s no way this isn’t going to end up awesome.)

4. Pick your poison (t’s a rough time to be WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Randy Orton –under orders from The Authority to go through each of his Elimination Chamber opponents one-by-one – is batting .500 after losing to Daniel Bryan on Raw and beating Christian on SmackDown. Next up for the Champion of Champions is John Cena, who’s dominant on his worst day and has never quite repaid Orton for beating up his father. Will the payback be too much for The Apex Predator to stand?)

5. Hell (no) to pay? (Of all the things that could derail the “YES!” Movement, Daniel Bryan probably never expected Kane to be among them. The former WWE Tag Team Champions seem to have finally come to their long-awaited loggerheads, with The Devil’s Favorite Director of Operations attacking Bryan after his win over Orton on Monday, and costing him a match against Antonio Cesaro on SmackDown. Will Raw bring about another confrontation between the two? Safe to say hugging it out won’t fix their problems this time around.)

Cena vs Orton.

Better have something up their sleeve, cause that has potential for a rowdy crowd to take over...

Well he does have to face everyone in singles matches that will be in the Chamber. Their RR match wasn't that bad at all, imo.

Lord TSC

In fairness, they put on decent matches. The problem is this is the 1000th time they are fighting.

Didn't they even have a stip matcha. While back billed as "their last ever match against each other"?

I'd guess the Wyatts will come after Cena again

When they announced that on Smackdown it dragged down that show for me such was how much of a downer it was.
Have Cesaro & Bryan run out & get Teddy Long to come out then.

gnfnrhead

I'm surprised they didnt keep that match until the go home show. Despite it happening so often, it is literally the biggest match they have in terms of full timers. Seems like they should give it a bit more build.

Moneymaker

Orton vs Cena AGAIN????

I thought this guest host **** was finished with?

Betty White?? Cant wait for some humorous skits tonight :rolleyes:

This is on some of the news sites

Zeb Colter and Steve Austin are recording an interview for Austin's podcast this afternoon. It appears Austin is headed to the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the site of tonight's RAW.

A chance of glass shatter tonight???

Professional Griefer

It'd be amazing if he came out and stunnered the **** out of Betty White.

That should do it and be a hell of a match up too.

Oh if we hear a glass shatter tonight, please jebus let it happen

CSF

Please somebody injure Kane to get him the **** out of this storyline

Honestly don't really know who she is, so expect stuff to go over my head. I also hate when WWE have "comedians" on cause either they try jokes which don't work for the audience or WWE script horrible jokes for them...

Diabhal Beag

Lesnar to F5 Betty "Dana's Ma" White through a table and write her out before she goes to ROH.

She is one of the golden girls and must be about 100 now

CastorTroy

Is Betty White still a thing? I thought the fad of having her in everything was over long ago.

Wonder if she'll be in Mae Young type skits.

Good to know i'm not the only one who doesn't know who Betty White is

They would surely advertise that.

It'd pop a massive rating.

Don't worry, I didn't know either. Hell I didn't know who Garth Brooks was until last week.

FTW :cool:

As for tonight, looking forward to the main event, Cena/Orton always delivers, and also looking forward to seeing the ongoing feud of ADR/Batista, and Shield/Wyatts. Daniel Bryan/Kane is way down the list for me.....

gnfnrhead

I know her name. That's about it. I probably wouldnt recognize her if she was standing in front of me. But, the same could be said for 99% of the "guest hosts".

Speaking of which, why do they need a guest host when they have Stephanie, Triple H, Kane, Maddox and Vickie as authority figures?

Jester252

Cuz Betty White is their boss.

maybe Mae Young (R.I.P.) was originally booked for tonight, and Vince thought "lets get Betty White instead, most people won't notice the difference"

IanMc666

Will be watching this tonight.. Missed the last two weeks.. It's like losing track of time.

gnfnrhead

I'm up early tomorrow. After getting out of the habit lately too so it was never happening tonight for me.

Professional Griefer

Crowd chanting CM Punk, and Cole says on the mic, ''how about go away''. :pac:

rovert

GTFO

Moneymaker

So who the **** is Betty White?

Your wifey will not be pleased!

Moneymaker

Damn this crowd is hot for DB.

Then again, they all are.

Just spotted a 'CM WHO' sign in the crowd

Professional Griefer

Steph is amazing.

rovert

They booked the hijacking of Orton and Cena by giving Bryan the night. WWE are control freaks/geniuses.
