WWE Monday Night Raw 10/24/2011 Results

Opening Segment

Triple H comes out to open the show. He talks about how Kevin Nash broke his heart last night at Vengeance when he powerbombed him. He says that he is going to come looking for Nash. John Laurenitis comes down to the ring and tries to talk sense into Triple. Trips tells Johnny Ace to shut up and not to come inside the ropes. Instead, he needs to find Kevin Nash and give him a contract because he is going to hunt him down and get arrested for what he will do to him. As Triple H is leaving, Nash attacks Triple H with a sledgehammer. Nash is escorted by security out of the building. Trips is helped away and put into the back of of ambulance. As he's being placed inside the ambulance, Nash returns and scares away the EMT's. He sets Triple H up against the wall, still strapped to the gurney, and hits Triple H in the face with the sledgehammer. The EMT's look for a pulse.

Randy Orton and Sheamus vs. Christian and Cody Rhodes

A solid match by four of the best in ring competitors right now. Nothing exciting though. The finish comes with Sheamus hitting the Celtic Cross on Cody Rhodes for the victory.

Winner - Randy Orton and Sheamus

Santino Marella vs. Dolph Ziggler

Quick match. Santino goes for the cobra, but Swagger jumps on the ring apron and Ziggler hits the Zig Zag on Santino for the win. After the match, they attack Santino and Mason Ryan runs in for the save.

Winner - Dolph Ziggler

Alberto Del Rio comes down to give his celebration speech. He tells the WWE Universe to be prepaired for him to be the WWE Champion for a long, long, long time. C.M. Punk comes out and says that he has beaten him multiple times and that he never got a rematch after Del Rio cashed in his MITB contract on him. He asks for a WWE Championship match. John Laurenitis comes out and says that Punk can have a Championship match at Survivor Series if Punk says that he respects him. Punk tells Laurenitis that he respects that he doesn't know how close to hold the microphone to his mouth, he respects how he had no talent, but was able to climb to the top of the WWE anyways. He tells him he respects how good of a brown-noser he is. Laurenitis tells Punk he is not convinced, and he has to wait a week to see if he changes his mind. Punk then attacks Del Rio, but ends up giving Ricardo Rodriguez a GTS as Del Rio watches.

Natalya vs. Alicia Fox

Beth Phoenix is on commentary. Fox gets the win with a roll up. Quick match. Phoenix hits the ring after the bell, but Fox rolls under the ropes.

Winner - Alicia Fox

John Morrison vs. Wade Barrett

Typical John Morrison match. This match went about 8 or 9 minutes and had Morrison display alot of offense. Morrison goes for Star Ship Pain, but Barret moves out of the way. Morrison goes for a flying knee but Barrett catches him and delivers Waste Land. The Morrison burial continues.

Winner - Wade Barrett

Michael Cole stands on top of the announcers desk and tells everyone that JR has been spreading rumors about him on WWE.Com. Cole displays photshopped images of JR that he "tweeted". He then challenges JR to a match next week and if JR can beat him, he can have his seat at the commentary desk back because he will quit.

Awesome Truth vs. John Cena and Zack Ryder

Awesome Truth attacked Ryder before the match, so this was a handicap match. Typical Cena beatdown, pump back up, beat down, pump back up. Miz and Truth end up beating down Cena and Truth hits Cena with a water bottle calling for the Disqualification. Laurenitis comes down and tell Miz and Truth to go away. He tells Cena that since his partner couldn't make it tonight, he can pick any partner he wants to face Awesome Truth at Survivor Series. Cena thinks about it and says that his partner will have to Bring It. He says the partner he wants to team up will be, The Rock!

Winner - John Cena via DQ

WWE Vengeance 2011 Results

Air Boom vs. Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler for the Tag Team Championships.

I give this match a B. This was a pretty good match. Air Boom works well together and they seem to be the only solid tag team in the WWE right now, so it was good to see them get the victory. Nothing special about this match; just solid.
Winner -  Air Boom

Zach Ryder vs. Dolph Ziggler for the U.S. Championship

I give this match a B-. Again, this was just a very solid match. Nothing special about this one. I was glad to see Ziggler walk away with the title. It seems too soon to give Ryder the U.S. Title at this point. He has only just recently emerged as a title contender, so giving it to him at this point seems too rushed. As much as WWE likes to rush things, I'm glad that they held off on this one. Ryder's popularity will not be hurt by this loss, and I'm sure we will see him win the title in the next few months, possibly at Survivor Series.
Winner- Dolph Ziggler

Beth Phoenix vs. Eve Torres for the Divas Championship

I'll give this match a C. Honestly, I didn't even know this was going to be a match. It was farely solid, and the finish came with Beth going for the Glam Slam, Eve rolling out of it, going for the moonsault, missing, and beth connecting with the Glam Slam. Again, nothing special, but I would have to say that these two put on a better match than Beth and Kelly Kelly have had in the past.

Sheamus vs. Christian

I will give this match a B+. This was a very good match between two of the best that WWE has right now. The finish was obvious, as Sheamus is in the middle of greater things to come, and Christian seems to be on his way down. Christian fights as the underdog which has the fans behind him, but he comes out on the short end of the stick yet again. I wonder why Christian even uses the spear. He has never won with the move. He diminishes the move, but I digress. Sheamus wins with the Brogue Kick.
Winner - Sheamus

Triple H and C.M. Punk vs Awesome Truth

I'll give this match a B-. It was an ok match, and very good to see Trips back in the ring. This match, however, had nothing special about it, until the end. As expected, Kevin Nash made his return as he made his way through the crowd and attacked Triple H. C.M. Punk was left in the ring to be attacked and defeated by Awesome Truth. Nash left Triple H laying in the middle of the ring after he delivered a devastating Powerbomb, and made his exit back through the fans. It will be interesting to see where this fued goes, but I'm sure we will see much this fued continue into and past Survivor Series.
Winner - Awesome Truth

Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes

I'll give this match an A-. These two work well together, and have had chemistry for quite some time. It was good to see Rhodes get involved with a more meaningful feud, but very disappointing to see him lose cleanly. The finish came when Rhodes mocked Orton's "Predator" mantra, but Orton's reversed the attempted RKO by Rhodes, only to connect with an RKO himself. This feud, in my opinion, is far from over and I hope to see Rhodes come out of this one on the winning side, as he is a huge future player in the WWE.
Winner - Randy Orton

Mark Henry vs. The Big Show for the Worlds Heavyweight Championship

I am going to give this match an A. I was not excited about this match at all because I don't like seeing two "monsters" in a match. I thought it would be a letdown compared to the matches Henry had with Orton, but this match delivered. The finish came with Big Show hitting the chokeslam, but only getting a two count. Henry then delivered the World's Strongest Slam, but he also only got a two count. Henry then goes to the top rope, and Big Show delivers a Super Chokeslam, but again Henry kicks out at two. Big Show then hit the top rope and Henry follows up, and delivers a superplex. The ring exploded from the impact and both men had to be helped off. The live crows loved it and it was a cool thing to see, as the last time I can remember a spot like that was with Show and Lesnar. Laurenitis came out and announced that the show would continue even without a ring.
Winner - No Decision

Alberto Del Rio vs john Cena for the WWE Championship

I'll give this match a C+. This was a typical Super Cena match with Del Rio doing most of the heavy lifting in this match. For the most part, both wrestlers were able to have a good match with a ring, but they eventually made their way to the back. Del Rio buried Cena at one point with parts of the interview set, but Cena was able to rise from the ashes time and time again. They eventually made their wasy back to the Ring, and Cena delivered an AA to Del Rio through the Spanish announce table. As Cena was waiting for the 10 count, Awesome Truth attacked Cena and perfomred their finishers on him. Cena, again, was able to beat the 10 count, but he was then struck in the head with the WWE Championship by Del Rio resulting in Cena not being able to get to his feet in time.
Winner - Alberto Del Rio
