WWE RAW REPORT: PEOPLE ADDED TO WRESTLEMANIA, FRIENDS OF FOLEY NOT HAVING A GOOD NIGHT, CHAMPIONS IN NON-TITLE MATCHES, DID UNDERTAKER APPEAR, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2017-03-20 23:10:00

We are back and Michael Cole is in the ring and he talks about how if the match happened between Triple H and Seth Rollins, it would be a dream match.  Michael brings out Triple H.

Hunter says he is having a nice day.  Hunter says he is disappointed with the news about Seth Rollins because he was in the best shape of his life.  Hunter says Cole is wrong in saying that Seth not being at Wrestlemania is his fault.  Hunter says it is Seth's fault.  It happened when Seth stopped listening to him and started to listen to the crowd.  That is addictive but it is an insecurity thing.  Seth needs them to justify that he is pretty good.  Hunter says he knows how good he is. 

Hunter says Mick Foley is a prime example.  How many times have the fans ruined things for him.  Hunter mentions the ear and how Foley walks.  He says it is everyone's fault.  

Seth becomes addicted to the roar of the crowd.  He shows up last week and Seth drops his crutch and that blows the roof off the place because Seth is going to stand on his own two feet to kick Triple H's ass.  That lasts for about thirty seconds before he beats Seth into a crippled heap.

We see the footage from last week.

Hunter says that is on you. 

Cole asks Hunter about Seth being his former protege and if he would have done anything different with Seth.  Hunter says he thought Seth was the future the first time he saw him in the ring.  He showed Seth the way.  Hunter says he gave the architect the blueprint.  Hunter says Seth started to whine when things did not go his way.  Hunter says he was a crutch to help Seth get to the top. 

Hunter says he is officially done with Seth Rollins.

Hunter gives Cole an envelope and he tells him it is some comp tickets for Wrestlemania.

Hunter starts to leave the ring but he takes them back.  Hunter asks if there was a way for them to fight at Wrestlemania. 

Cole reminds Hunter that Seth was not medically cleared.

Hunter says Seth wants to fight him and Hunter wants to fight Seth.  Hunter asks if the people want to see them fight at Wrestlemania.  Hunter says if he signs a Hold Harmless Agreement and Seth signs it next week to be in an Unsanctioned Match.  Then Seth cannot sue him or his wife.

Hunter tells Seth to show up next week to sign the document and they can have their match at Wrestlemania.  Hunter asks if Seth is a coward.

We take a look at the match between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman from Fastlane.

We go to commercial.

Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady do their entrance and Colin says Sheamus and Cesaro can kiss their Wrestlemania dreams goodbye because they have home field advantage.

Winner:  Austin Aries

After the match, Neville comes out and Aries introduces him.  Aries says he did not have an interview scheduled with him so why is he out here?

Neville says this is no interview.  He says he could come to the ring right now and obliterate Aries like he did everyone else.  Why would he bother?  Austin Aries is beneath him.  Aries is not threat to the King.  Sitting back and watching your ego spiral out of control will make his inevitable victory at Wrestlemania even more satisfying.

Aries says that is the worst and most unbelievable interview segment he has done on Raw.  He hears the words coming out of your mouth, but what he sees is something different.  What he sees is a man who knows he has to step in this ring with another man who is not at his level, but is above his level.  Aries tells Neville to say over and over again and tell anyone who listens to him tell them that he is the King of the Cruiserweights.  When Aries wins the title, this facade will be over.

We have an Emma video package and she is coming soon.

We are back and it is time to look at the second part of the Bill Goldberg and Brock Lesnar video package.
