So That Happened: #RAW Recap (04/14/14)

Bray Wyatt Speaks:

Bray Wyatt says society does what they’re told, but he is differently. Bray Wyatt says he has 1,000 faces and a million names like Seducer, Accuser and Destroyer. Wyatt says that you can call him whatever name you see fit, but he has never lied unlike John Cena.

Bray Wyatt says John Cena has made a career out of lying to the WWE Universe. Wyatt says behind Cena’s isn’t a man, it’s a beast. Wyatt says tells the kids that he’s not going to let John Cena do this to them anymore. Wyatt claims he has Cena up against the ropes and all he needs is that one last little push.

Bray Wyatt says Abigail will be his sword, but he will not slay this monster yet. Right now, he just wants to come out and play. Bray Wyatt calls out John Cena to the ring.

John Cena comes out and tells Bray Wyatt he last thing he needs is another push because no one wants to see that. Cena says The Wyatt Family is always so serious. Cena tells Bray Wyatt that he tried to bring the monster out at Wrestlemania, but it doesn’t exist. Cena wants to try something different and have fun with Bray Wyatt.

John Cena says that he doesn’t judge anybody, but if he could get The Wyatt Family to Happy Hour, they’d be the life of the party. Cena thinks Erick Rowan would be telling jokes for days, while Luke Harper would streak through the quad. Cena compliments Bray Wyatt’s white pants, Hawaiian Shirt and Michael Jackson glove, and calls him a ladies’ man. Cena thinks Bray Wyatt should have a few drinks, get introduced to some Birmingham ladies, then makes a Roll Tide reference.

Bray Wyatt tells John Cena that anytime a serious threat is in his face, all he does is make jokes about it. John Cena says that if Bray Wyatt wants serious, he should know that Cena can get serious with anyone. Cena says at Wrestlemania, Bray Wyatt forced his back against the wall and forced him to fight for everything. Cena says Bray Wyatt found out that when John Cena gets serious, Bray Wyatt’s ass gets beat.

John Cena tells Bray Wyatt to be careful what he wishes for, because he might get it. Cena tells Wyatt that if he gets beaten again, he becomes the desperate man who will fight for everything. Cena says he’s going to force Bray Wyatt to do something that he hasn’t done since he stepped in the WWE. Cena thinks Bray Wyatt talks, but without his family, he can’t back it up. Cena tells Wyatt that when you take Luke Harper and Erick Rowan out of the equation, Bray Wyatt goes from Eater Of Worlds to Eater Of The World’s Largest Cinnabun.

John Cena issues a serious challenge to Bray Wyatt. Cena wants Bray Wyatt at Extreme Rules in a Steel Cage.

Wyatt asks Cena how he can be 100% sure that it won’t be him. Bray Wyatt asks Cena if he wants to have fun and a good time, then rants about how he refuses to have a fallacy like John Cena control Bray and his brothers and sisters, because this is his world and it belongs to him. Bray Wyatt ends his speech by singing “He’s Got The Whole World.”

Highlight Reel: Tax! Tax! Tax!

In Highlight Reel, 3MB will check out funny and interesting wrestling videos.

It’s that time of year again. The Wrestlemania glow is starting to fade and the stack of receipts from the past year are starting to come into focus. Yup, it’s Tax Season, the Wrestlemania of red suspenders everywhere!

7bd17-irs_bioBut even this year, accountants are getting into the YES! Movement. Commercials for TaxSlayer used Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” in a run of their ads.

Sure, it was made by German Composer Wagner but these days, it’s the anthem for Daniel Bryan. That first lilt makes your ears perk up and your fingers flex in anticipation of pointing skyward.

Highlight Reel: YES! Week Ever

In Highlight Reel, 3MB will check out funny and interesting wrestling videos.

Usually, for wrestling to get mentioned on television, something bad has to happen. Unfortunately, the sudden passing of the Ultimate Warrior was all over news outlets, some reputable and others notoriously not. But that wasn’t the only wrestling spotlight this week. The Soup did another tribute to the WWE this week and let wrestlers like The Bella Twins, Dolph Ziggler and Titus O’Neill in on fun along with the RAW announce team: Michael Cole, Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler and JBL.

But The Soup wasn’t the only comedy show to talk about wrestling. VH1’s Best Week Ever gave Daniel Bryan the reward for … well, Best Week Ever!

Andre The Giant Memorial Trophy Celebration:

Hulk Hogan comes out.

https://twitter.com/InstantRandy/status/453358420108652544

Hulk Hogan says last night, WWE had the biggest, baddest Wrestlemania of them all right in the SUPERDOME.

https://twitter.com/JAMIEGotDatBOMB/status/453358713882296320

Hulk Hogan says last night, WWE made a lot of historiy and memories, but for him, the greatest memory was the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. This leads to a Cesaro chant.

Hulk Hogan says when Cesaro threw out the Big Show, it made his heart smile and he knows it made Andre The Giant Smile and now every year, Andre’s memory will be immortalized at Wrestlemania.

Hulk Hogan says there were supposed to be 30 guys in the Battle Royal, but there ended up being 31. Hulk Hogan brings out the winner: Cesaro

Hulk Hogan tells Cesaro that all he has to say is “Congratulations, Brother.” Hulk Hogan walks out.

Cesaro is about to speak, but Zeb Colter takes the microphone. Colter says he will give the mic back, and he will tell everybody what kind of guy he really is, but first Colter will tell him what kind of guy he is. Colter reminds Cesaro that 10 months ago, The Real Americans brought Cesaro into the mix and made him a “Zeb Colter Guy.” Cesaro takes the mic and corrects Zeb Colter, by telling him he is not a Zeb Colter Guy.

Zeb Colter can’t believe Cesaro is jumping ship to Paul Heyman. Heyman knows this comes as a shock to Colter, but this is a week of shocking events for Paul Heyman Guys. Heyman tells Colter that his first order of business is to instruct the announcers on how to talk to about the King Of Swing, Cesaro, then leaves the ring and goes to the announce table.

As Paul Heyman is instructing the commentary team, Jack Swagger comes out from behind and attacks Cesaro. Swagger adds insult to injury by destroying the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal Trophy.
