WWE Raw Results (6/16/14) Cleveland, Ohio Posted By: Elio C. on Jun 16, 2014 Source: Welcome to Monday Night Raw and tonight we are live from Cleveland, Ohio Raw opened with a wide-shot of the arena, then a look at the roster assembled on the stage. John Cena was front-and-center representing the babyfaces and Seth Rollins front-and-center representing the heels. Then, Triple Hs music played to bring out Hunter and Stephanie McMahon. The Authority marched down to the ring as WWE replayed Dr. Maroons comments last week explaining why Daniel Bryan will not be medically cleared to wrestle and Stephanie announcing the end of Bryans title reign. In the ring, Stephanie welcomed everyone to Raw as the WWE Title and World Title belts hung above the ring. Steph turned to face the locker room, noting they want all of them to know that they care. And they know how much it hurts to not have a WWE World Hvt. champion. Hunter spoke next about needing a champion year- round. Steph talked up Hunter as the greatest ever to boos, then said its quite sad that all of the wrestlers have been represented by a B-Plus Player like Daniel Bryan. The crowd responded with Bryans Yes! chant. Hunter said whats really disappointing is Bryan has no heart because his selfishness produced his refusal to give up the title belt. Hunter said everyone - the fans included - deserve better than Bryan as champion. Hunter continued that standing on the stage right now might be the next WWE World Hvt. champion. The crowd chanted Daniel Bryan over Stephanie, who talked over the chant that someone will join the MITB qualifiers to determine the next WWE World champion. Steph then put all of them in a battle royal to determine the next qualifier. Hunter said not everyone, though. He said there are certain stars who have refused to evolve and comply to authority. Those stars not in the battle royal will be Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. Boos. And also John Cena. Steph smirked at Cena from the ring. Hunter told Cena not to get excited because hell get his opportunity to compete. Hunter said he knows how much Cena likes to help people, like Bryan and The Shield. See, just a short time ago, Stephanie promised the audience a particular type of match, but because Bryan cannot compete, they have not been able to give that match. And they hate to lie. So, tonight, Cena will get his chance to enter the MITB ladder match by winning a stretcher match. And its against Kane. Kanes music played, then an ambulance backed up into the arena off-stage. EMTs emerged and wheeled a stretcher down to ringside to wrap up the segment. -Commercial 8:12pm- 1. Seth Rollins vs Dolph Ziggler The bell sounds and here we go.

Because hanging above this ladder is his glory, absolution, and the change that the audience has been praying for. And then he will be able to truly say he has the whole world in his hands.

Rusev vs Heath Slater Heath Slater is shown standing in the ring by himself. “The Ravishing Russian” Lana is introduced, along with Rusev.

Cody, as Stardust, did odd gyrations like his brother before delivering a springboard smash to Axel.

Stephanie McMahon, the top heel authority figure, was shown speaking about WWEs involvement in the Games. Back on Raw, Jerry Lawler read a statement about what the Games are about. John Cena vs Kane - Stretcher Match JBL used the early-going to tease even more physicality available at Money in the Bank in two weeks. He then introduced the point of Daniel Bryan being out of action partly because of Kane. Two heels (Heyman and JBL) have covered for Bryan tonight; no babyfaces have. Kane went for an early stretcher ride, but Cena easily rolled off. Cena continued to sell Kanes early offense as Raw cut to break. -Commercial- Raw returned with the crowd in the middle of a traditional Lets Go Cena / Cena Sucks dueling chant. Kane then lit up Cena with a chair as JBL noted there are no rules, which brings up the old question of why not bring out a life-threatening weapon to subdue Cena and stretcher him out. JBL did not go as heavy as Cole did in the Last Man Standing match at Payback to ruin the moment, but its still an unanswerable question. In any event, Kane introduced ring steps into the match, but Cena knocked the legs out from under Kane and Kane ate the edge of the steps. Cena tried an AA into the steps, but Kane blocked and DDTed Cena face-first into the ring steps. Cena was then heard audibly calling a spot to Kane, who dragged Cena out of the ring. Kane placed Cena on the stretcher, but Cena easily rolled off, frustrating Kane. On the other side of the ringside area, Kane cleared the announce table, but Cena sprung on Kane to give him an AA through the table. Cole freaked out on commentary, then Cena surveyed how far he had to go to get Kane to the opposite side of the arena. Cena started the journey of dragging Kane across the ringside area firemans carry-style, but sold losing strength. Cena paused, collected himself, and made it to the stretcher. But, Cena collapsed to the floor. Cena retrieved a second stretcher, placed Kane on the board, and Seth Rollins and Randy Orton suddenly showed up. Rollins and Orton beat up Cena, then sent him into the ring, where Orton delivered an RKO. Rollins wanted a chair shot to Cena, but Dean Ambrose showed up and knocked around Rollins. But, Kane entered the ring and chokeslammed Ambrose. Cena low-bridged Kane out of the ring, though, before surveying the damage around him. For his next move, Cena lifted one of the ring steps into the air and chucked them down at Kane, who stumbled down onto the floor. At 15.00, Cena grabbed a stretcher and placed Kane on the board -End Show- Follow @ WNSource
