Noteworthy: Adam Rose appears on this show again. Hornswoggle is still wearing wigs and hasn’t had his hair cut since getting buzzed at the last ppv. RybAxel are getting a mini push.
Adam Rose beat Health Slater (w/
Hornswoggle) with the Party Foul in 4:25
Rose comes out to a mediocre reaction, but the crowd sure do love
that theme song so that makes it look like he’s over. Slater (now a solo
artist, of course) seems to be permanently with Hornswoggle who is with wig. Still.
They lock up and a sloppy drop toe hold allows Rose to ride Slater
like a pig and smack his ass. I hate this spot. Slater is angered; they shove
each other until Heath pulls Rose through the ropes to the floor outside.
Slater goes to work on him, throwing Rose into the dasher boards. Slater rolls
Rose back in goes for a cover but only gets a two count.
Rear chin lock from Slater gets the crowd singing Adam Rose’s song
which helps Rose to powers out. He then eats a heel kick and Slater can only
get a two count. At which point Heath gets bored and goes for a wander – he and
Hornswoggle go outside to taunt the Rosebuds which allows Rose to get to his
feet. When Slater has been shunned by the entire posse he turns round to eat a
baseball slide from Rose.
Rose rolls him back in, goes to the top rope and hits a beautiful
high cross body, followed by a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. Hornswoggle comes in
the ring and again is de-wigged. Rose turns back to Slater, blocks an attack
and hits the Party Foul out of nowhere.
The Raw rebound was a tremendous Rollins and
Ambrose music video followed by Vickie and Steph’s segments from Monday.
We got a
brief, whacky backstage segment where Byron Saxton tried to interview RybAxel
who intimidated him. Saxton brings up their loss on Main Event and the imminent
match against Goldust and Stardust on Sunday and Ryback got nasty and played
the bully.
RybAxel beat R-Truth & Xavier
Woods with the Shellshock in 7:24
Ryback and
Curtis Axel both came out wearing bright red Ryback merchandise beanie hats, making
them look completely ridiculous. RybAxel are facing Goldust and Stardust at
Money in the Bank this Sunday.
I’m pretty
shocked that Xavier Woods hasn’t been cut: he’s as good a worker as many that
got cut and is pretty uninteresting and lacking in charisma. Truth and Axel
start things off and exchange wrist locks. Woods comes in as a rain of ‘Goldberg’
chants start up. Yep, that’s still a thing.
Ryback works
over Truth until he goes face-first into the mat from a drop toe hold. Woods
and Truth double team Ryback with a hip toss and then throw him out the ring.
Axel comes in and is also sent packing while Woods launches himself over the
top rope into a senton on Ryback who had just got to his feet. We crash to the
break.
Ryback eats
a heel kick and is rolled up for a near fall. Blind tag lets Axel get in the
ring, throwing Truth outside and beating on him. Truth plays babyface in peril
in the ring as quick tags keep him in their corner. Money in the Bank chat is
high on the list of topics this week on the show as Saxton and Philips talk of
little else. Ryback hits a second rope splash and snap suplex for a near fall.
Woods gets
the hot tag and takes Ryback down with a drop kick and a top rope missile drop
kick. He gets a near fall, hits another drop kick goes for the Honour Roll and
reverses Ryback’s reversal attempt into a swinging DDT for a pin that is broken
up by Axel. Axel and Truth brawl outside and Woods gets caught with a meathook
clothesline and Shellshock from Ryback for the win.
The Raw Rebound recapped the 4-on-3 handicap
match from Monday night.
