RAW DIVA Report / Results - 20th Apr, 2015
Location: Albany, New York
Announcers: JBL, Michael Cole and Booker T
We begin this week with a look at how we got our stipulations for the WWE World Title Match at Extreme Rules.
We begin with the steel cage being lowered to the ground as the Official Cage Lowering Music of the WWE plays.
Randy Orton makes his way to the ring and he stands inside the cage.
Randy says for someone who prides himself about being the smartest in the room, you are a dumb bastard Seth. Seth chose to ban the RKO last week for his stipulation. Seth thinks the RKO is his greatest weapon, but his greatest weapon is to unleash great pain on those who deserve it. Randy says he does not need the RKO to win. That would be too quick and too easy.
Seth made this slow and agonizingly painful on Sunday. When the bell rings, he is going to break Seth’s jaw. He is going to break his jaw so we don’t have to listen to you run your mouth week in and week out. Then he is going to drag his carcass into a corner of the cage that he is going to put his boot in your ribs. Then he will pick you up by your stupid blonde streak and I am going to run you into the cold steel until every inch of your body is aching. When the misery ends and the beating is over, so will your reign as WWE World Champion.
Seth Rollins’ music plays and he makes his way to the stage with Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble.
Seth says he doesn’t want to come out and state the obvious, but Randy has an anger problem.
Randy is shocked that it took him so long to figure that out. He says he has a Seth Rollins problem and he will do everything to make that go away on Sunday.
Seth tells Randy he didn’t listen to a lot of what Randy was saying, but he wants to make sure he got the gist of it. Seth is a jerk and Randy is going to beat him up and the losers in the crowd ate it up.
Seth says he plays this game of human chess better than anybody. That is why he is well on track to being the Greatest WWE Champion of All Time. Inside that ring, he can outmaneuver anyone. Outside the ring, he can outthink anyone.
All of this, he is the best at it. If you don’t believe him, he has the title to prove it. He is not going to take anything away from Randy. He is one of the greatest and a surefire Hall of Famer. As good as Randy is, Seth says he is that much better.
Cage or no cage, Authority or no Authority, you can make all the threats you want. At Extreme Rules, you will not walk out of the show as the WWE Champion, that is a promise.
Randy says that Seth gave him a good idea so he will get it out of his system. Randy says that he is going to go into the back and RKO every son of a bitch he sees. Then he will RKO Seth before the end of the show. That is a promise.
Dean Ambrose makes his way to the ring.

We are back and Triple H makes his way to the ring after a long absence due to his vacation.
A year ago, the Authority was at a crossroads and they looked around for someone who could lead the WWE. They found a man who could be the face of the WWE for the next ten years. If you look at the landscape a few weeks after the greatest Wrestlemania, Seth Rollins is that man. Now it is time to find the new Seth Rollins.
On June 23rd, live on the USA Network with the return of Tough Enough. A show that could allow you to live your dream of being a WWE Superstar. Who hasn’t closed their eyes and dreamed about being on that stage to hear your music hit and walk down the aisle and stand in the ring in front of tens of thousands and millions at home. What would it be like to stand in the ring in front of 76,000 people with the WWE Champinship held above your head? To feel that fame and that glory? That is the dream. Being a WWE Superstar is better than any dream you could have.
You have a chance to turn that dream into reality. All you have to do is show the world that you are ‘tough enough’. Send in your submission and maybe you will be selected as one of the 10 men and 5 women to see what one man and one woman will be selected to receive WWE contracts and become WWE Superstars.
Hunter wants to know if you have what it takes.

Seth reminds Kane he put Rollins on top of him because it was his job to lose. Kane became a coward and he did what he was told to do.
Kane says that Seth is a spoiled punk who has been given everything and hasn’t earned anything. He made him the champion. Kane says that he helped Rollins win Money in the Bank. They could have done the same with Dean Ambrose. Kane says they could have made El Torito champion.
Hunter says this is not how we do business. Hunter says Kane did what was right last week and what was best for business. There is no one who has been more loyal to the Authority than Kane. Which is why in your Steel Cage Match, Kane is the guardian of the gate.
Kane tells Hunter he won’t let him down.
Seth cannot believe that Hunter is doing this.

Tonight . . . you will step into the ring and have the match you were supposed to have. You will face Dolph Ziggler. You better show the world what he already knows.
Seth says he will face Dolph tonight and he will destroy Dolph. After he is done with Dolph, the world will know what he is all about. He is no longer the future, he is the man.

Roman says he does not feel like talking, he feels like fighting so he wants Big Show to come out right now.
It is not the Big Show, but the BO Show and He comes to the stage.
Bo says he couldn’t help but notice the anger in his voice. Like Yoda said in the greatest Star Wars Movie made, Episode One. Anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering. Bo says that Roman has suffered. He failed at Wrestlemania. He tells Roman he is kind of a bust.
He calls Roman Outback Jack in Kevlar. He is the Tim Tebow of the WWE. He gets chance after chance, but he fails every time. No matter what millions of people think, Bo says that he knows Roman can be a WWE Champion. His dreams will come true. All you have to do is . . . BOLIEVE.

We go to commercial.
John Cena comes to the ring and he has something to say before his Open Challenge. John points out that on Sunday we go Extreme on the WWE Network. Live on the WWE Network, it is not about the rules, it is about the revenge. You saw that Rusev means business. Why shouldn’t he? He handed Rusev his first loss at Wrestlemania. He cringes every time that John says ‘The Champ is Here.’
That is why at Extreme Rules, a normal win is not enough. He wants to do what Rusev does best and that is destroy. That is why he chose a Russian Chain match. You need to touch all four corners CONSECUTIVELY. His plan is to lock him up in the chain and do what no man has been able to do. That is take the Fighting Spirit from him. Cena says that he will never give up and he will fight to win.
Sunday, Rusev’s plan is to beat him motionless and stop at all four corners to get back his US Title, drop the Russian flag, and prove that Wrestlemania was a fluke. That is a hell of a plan. He has one problem. John tells us who he is and he says for ten years he has proven that while he might not win them all, you knock him down he will get up.
Cena says that he will beat Rusev down, touch all four corners and prove that Wrestlemania was a statement. The Champ is here and the title is a symbol of excellence and opportunity. Rusev will have the opportunity to have a Russian chain shoved up his ass.
John says he is going to have his challenge tonight. John says he has a message to the underdog, undersized, and underappreciated. He is focused on Sunday but he is not in a losing mood.

We go to commercial.
We are back and Triple H makes his way to the ring after a long absence due to his vacation.
A year ago, the Authority was at a crossroads and they looked around for someone who could lead the WWE. They found a man who could be the face of the WWE for the next ten years. If you look at the landscape a few weeks after the greatest Wrestlemania, Seth Rollins is that man. Now it is time to find the new Seth Rollins.
On June 23rd, live on the USA Network with the return of Tough Enough. A show that could allow you to live your dream of being a WWE Superstar. Who hasn’t closed their eyes and dreamed about being on that stage to hear your music hit and walk down the aisle and stand in the ring in front of tens of thousands and millions at home. What would it be like to stand in the ring in front of 76,000 people with the WWE Champinship held above your head? To feel that fame and that glory? That is the dream. Being a WWE Superstar is better than any dream you could have.
You have a chance to turn that dream into reality. All you have to do is show the world that you are ‘tough enough’. Send in your submission and maybe you will be selected as one of the 10 men and 5 women to see what one man and one woman will be selected to receive WWE contracts and become WWE Superstars.
Hunter wants to know if you have what it takes.
Kane’s music plays and he comes to the ring. Hunter says that Kane is too seasoned to be on Tough Enough.

Hunter says he got them all and he was letting Kane cool off.

Hunter wants Kane to go into the back and talk like men and work it out like adults.
Seth Rollins comes out and he cannot believe that Kane said he was not worth the investment. He tells Hunter if he wants to quit, let him. We don’t need a loser like Kane in the Authority.
Kane says that Seth wasn’t calling him a loser last week when he had his hand around his throat last week.
Seth reminds Kane he put Rollins on top of him because it was his job to lose. Kane became a coward and he did what he was told to do.
Kane says that Seth is a spoiled punk who has been given everything and hasn’t earned anything. He made him the champion. Kane says that he helped Rollins win Money in the Bank. They could have done the same with Dean Ambrose. Kane says they could have made El Torito champion.
Hunter says this is not how we do business. Hunter says Kane did what was right last week and what was best for business. There is no one who has been more loyal to the Authority than Kane. Which is why in your Steel Cage Match, Kane is the guardian of the gate.
Kane tells Hunter he won’t let him down.
Seth cannot believe that Hunter is doing this.
Hunter tells Seth to get on the same page as Kane and do it real fast.

Seth says he will face Dolph tonight and he will destroy Dolph. After he is done with Dolph, the world will know what he is all about. He is no longer the future, he is the man.

Bo says he couldn’t help but notice the anger in his voice. Like Yoda said in the greatest Star Wars Movie made, Episode One. Anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering. Bo says that Roman has suffered. He failed at Wrestlemania. He tells Roman he is kind of a bust.
He calls Roman Outback Jack in Kevlar. He is the Tim Tebow of the WWE. He gets chance after chance, but he fails every time. No matter what millions of people think, Bo says that he knows Roman can be a WWE Champion. His dreams will come true. All you have to do is . . . BOLIEVE.

John Cena comes to the ring and he has something to say before his Open Challenge. John points out that on Sunday we go Extreme on the WWE Network. Live on the WWE Network, it is not about the rules, it is about the revenge. You saw that Rusev means business. Why shouldn’t he? He handed Rusev his first loss at Wrestlemania. He cringes every time that John says ‘The Champ is Here.’
That is why at Extreme Rules, a normal win is not enough. He wants to do what Rusev does best and that is destroy. That is why he chose a Russian Chain match. You need to touch all four corners CONSECUTIVELY. His plan is to lock him up in the chain and do what no man has been able to do. That is take the Fighting Spirit from him. Cena says that he will never give up and he will fight to win.
Sunday, Rusev’s plan is to beat him motionless and stop at all four corners to get back his US Title, drop the Russian flag, and prove that Wrestlemania was a fluke. That is a hell of a plan. He has one problem. John tells us who he is and he says for ten years he has proven that while he might not win them all, you knock him down he will get up.
Cena says that he will beat Rusev down, touch all four corners and prove that Wrestlemania was a statement. The Champ is here and the title is a symbol of excellence and opportunity. Rusev will have the opportunity to have a Russian chain shoved up his ass.
John says he is going to have his challenge tonight. John says he has a message to the underdog, undersized, and underappreciated. He is focused on Sunday but he is not in a losing mood.
