WWE RAW REPORT: THE SLAMMYS; IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW SUNDAY WAS TLC, YOU KNOW BY THE END OF THE SHOW; A NUMBER OF SURPRISING RETURNS; DID SANDOW TOP HIMSELF TONIGHT?

By Richard Trionfo on 2014-12-08 23:06:37
At the Survivor Series, Big Show turned on his team to curry favor with The Authority. With the Authority out of power, it may not have worked too well for Big Show. Tonight, he faces the man he punched in the face at Survivor Series.

We are in Greenville, South Carolina and your announcers are Michael Cole, John Layfield, and Jerry Lawler.

It is time for the first Slammy Award to be presented on Raw (make sure to check Mike’s report for the Slammys awarded during and prior to the Pre Show on the WWE Network).

Jerry Lawler is the first presenter. He is here to bring out tonight’s guest host Seth Green.

Seth says that he could not be more excited to be back hosting Raw and the Slammy Awards. Seth says that unlike the phony award shows where the results are predetermined, you get to pick the winners.

Miz and Damien Sandow come out to interrupt Seth.

Miz wonders why Seth didn’t visit him in his dressing room, but he says it is okay. Miz says that Seth is drooling over putting him in one of his projects because Miz is the A Lister that he needs.

Seth says that he sees an A Lister, but it isn’t the Miz . . . it is this guy. Seth says that he is awesome.

Miz says that he is not awesome. He is Miz’ stunt double. Speaking of awesome it is time for the award named after him . . . The This is Awesome Moment of the Year.

The Nominees are: Occupy Raw, Billion Dollar Jailbird, Goodbye Authority, The All Time Greatest (from Wrestlemania)

We will find out the winner after the next match.

We go to Seth Green and it is time to find out what is the This is Awesome Moment of the Year.

The winner is Sting’s Debut.

Seth Rollins goes to the award area and he tells Seth to get out of here. Seth yells at the award and he wants to know what makes Sting worthy of a Slammy? Is it because he cost him the biggest win of his career? Is it because he is the reason why the Authority is out of power. Either way, Seth says he is accepting this award on behalf of Sting because he doesn’t deserve it and Seth says that he does.

The New Day make their way to the ring for the next match.

We are back with a look at some of the winners of the Slammy Technical and Scientific Awards that were awarded either on the Raw Pre Show or during the Slammy Award Banquet.

Seth Rollins is in the back and he thanks Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble. Seth sees Paul Heyman and he is glad to see Paul here and dressed up.

Paul says that he is here because he expects a clean sweep for his client . . . BROCK LESNAR.

Paul says that he was talking to Brock about Seth’s match and if . . .

Seth interrupts and says ‘when’ he beats John Cena, John will lose his opportunity to face Paul’s client . . . BROCK LESNAR. Seth wonders if he is next. Seth says the briefcase guarantees him a shot at Paul’s client any time he sees fit. When he cashes him, neither Paul nor he will see it coming.

Paul asks to retort and he says that Brock is the current reigning and defending Undisputed WWE Champion. Brock should be called the champion for life. Seth can still be the future. Seth earned his respect when he curb stomped Brock. It is not Brock who is keeping Seth from being recognized as the Future. It is John Cena who is holding Seth back. He tells Seth to make sure that John is entrenched in the past if he wants to be the future.

We see a video package for Charlotte, the current NXT Women’s Champion. She says to be the best you have to beat the best. She says it isn’t about her dad, it is about her. She is genetically superior. Every time she steps into the ring, she shows why she is better than every other diva.

Santino says that it is his pleasure to present the OMG Shocking Moment of the Year. Santino says that he saw Luke Harper taking a shower.

Paul introduces himself and he reminds us that he is the one behind the one in twenty-one and one. Paul says that he earned that distinction when the Undertaker’s undefeated streak was conquered by his client . . . BROCK LESNAR.

Bray Wyatt’s music plays and he makes his way to the ring.

Bray says that he will never forget the first time that he saw her. She was sitting in that rocking chair underneath the cypress tree. That was her chair.

We see Dean Ambrose destroying the rocking chair.

Bray says Dean broke a piece of him that night. He took something that did not belong to him. He took something that Bray could not replace. Bray says that he thought he should take something from Dean.

We see Dean being attacked by Bray Wyatt on Smackdown and being sent throat first into a chair that is sent onto the ring steps.

Bray asks if that shocks you. Does that frighten you? Bray says that no one realizes what they are dealing with. He is a monster. He is evil incarnate. He despises everyone one of you. You are just moths drawn into his flame. If you get too close, I will burn you. This Sunday at the TLC pay per view, you will view that fire as he stands above Dean Ambrose’s mangled body and none of you will shed a tear. Bray says that he will not allow you to cry for him because he will deserve everything coming to him.

Bray repeats Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.

An ambulance siren is heard in the arena and it backs into the building.

Dean emerges from the back of the ambulance and he has a neck brace.

Bray is shocked to see Dean.

Dean grabs a table from the back of the ambulance and throws it onto the stage. He does the same thing with chairs and a ladder.

Dean throws a chair into the ring and then he hits Bray with the ladder when Dean tries to use the chair. Dean gets more chairs and a table from under the ring. Dean throws the chairs onto a prone Wyatt in the ring. The table is brought into the ring and he sets it up. Bray gets out of the ring and Dean wants him to come back inside.

Dean hits Wyatt with a chair as he tries to get back into the ring.

Dean tells Bray the only way he leaves TLC is in the back of an ambulance. When it’s tables, ladders, and chairs, you are going to know who you are in the ring with. Dean says that he will become the monster and he will eat Bray alive.

We go back to Seth Green and it is time to introduce the presenter for Diva of the Year and it is Jerry Lawler.

Jerry says the nominees have gone above and beyond to dazzle us in and out of the ring. Only one can be Diva of the Year. The nominees are AJ Lee, Paige, Brie Bella, and Nikki Bella.

The winner will be announced when we come back from commercial.

We are back and the Diva of the Year is AJ Lee, but Titus O’Neil sneaks in to the shot of the nominees.

AJ says three years ago, she said she would redefine Diva. You can be a nerd and tomboy and still be the longest reigning Divas Champion. Maybe next year it can be won by Bayley, Sasha, Emma, or Paige. They can be the next in line, but AJ says that she is still the queen and she will become a four time champion.

Renee Young is in the interview area with John Cena. She asks him about his match with Big Show.

John says that everyone last week was shocked when Vince told Steve Austin that everyone had to step up. He knows that Seth Rollins will be trying to step up. Big Show thought he was stepping up at Survivor Series, but now he is the Authority’s puppet and he will make sure that Seth gets the advantage on Sunday.

Seth does not have to pin John and it is good because he won’t have Big Show to help Seth. Seth isn’t man enough to make John tap out. If he is sent through a table, John not only loses his number one contendership, he may have to step down. He wants to be champion again.

John says that he will step up tonight by hoisting a 500 pound giant on his back and sending him to the mat. John says that if you think this is the time for someone to step up, you are wrong.
