WWE RAW Results (2/23) – The Road To Wrestlemania Heats Up, Is Orton On The Same Page With The Authority?

Paige & Emma vs The Bella Twins 

Brie hits Emma from behind after a distraction, and she slams her down with a Bella Buster for the win. Paige tries to run in but Nikki attacks her and tells Paige not to mess with them.

Winners – The Bella Twins 

Curtis Axel vs Ryback 

Axel says he never lost the Royal Rumble and still deserves his Wrestlemania moment, so he is entering the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal and winning it. Ryback comes out and says they were a great team, but he’s winning that Battle Royal and he’s going to take Axel to smash town right now. Ryback takes a few punches before shaking it off and connecting with a Meathook, then he hits Shell Shocked for the win.

Winner – Ryback  

Seth Rollins & Randy Orton (w/ The Authority)

vs Daniel Bryan & Roman Reigns 

Rollins and Orton work to isolate Bryan, then Bryan comes back with a YES Lock before Reigns knocks Orton outside and tackles him. Bryan sends Rollins to the opposite side and hits a suicide dive, then he heads up top but gets distracted on the apron, and Rollins knocks him down. Reigns finally gets the tag and he hits several clotheslines in the corner, then he Superman punches Mercury off of the apron. Rollins kicks Reigns and makes the tag, then he trades punches with Reigns before Rollins tags himself back in. Orton gets pissed and says ‘screw this’ as Reigns takes Rollins down with a Superman punch, then Bryan tags in and hits Knee Plus for the win. 

Winners – Daniel Bryan & Roman Reigns 

Big Show and Kane try to calm Orton down, but Orton goes after Rollins and Mercury and Noble try and stop him. Orton ends up hitting them with RKO’s, then he ends up telling Rollins it’s OK and walks away.

BP: There’s already plenty building for Wrestlemania, so they don’t really need to have Orton complete a turn tonight. I’d say it definitely should set the match up by next week, and then they can play things out for a few weeks. Overall a good show, with fallout from Fast Lane, and setting a lot of Wrestlemania stuff up. It was also pretty good how Triple H didn’t speak, and looked concerned with Sting. Things will definitely pick up soon, esp with Sting, Undertaker and Brock Lesnar all still needing to get involved themselves in their respective feuds.
