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

Paul Heyman walks out as Bryan is leaving, and he shakes Reigns hand and says last night’s match was a very impressive win by Reigns. Heyman says he can’t say he’s surprised, and he would always bet on Reigns even against several legends in their prime. He says Reigns is the right guy in the right place, but it’s at the wrong time because he is going to fight a beast at Wrestlemania. Heyman says he respects Reigns, but he can’t slay the beast, so any other time his money would be on Reigns, but not this time. Heyman says his money is on his client, and the only thing they will hear at the end of Wrestlemania is that Brock Lesnar is still champion. Reigns wants to hear him say he can’t win again, and Heyman was there the night after the Royal Rumble, but he will tell him again. He says he would beat Brock and make him respect him [Reigns], but now it’s only going to be about how bad he beats him, and Brock won’t like him after that. 

WWE Tag Team Championships

The Usos (w/ Naomi) vs Tyson Kidd & Cesaro (c) (w/Natalya)

The Usos attack Cesaro and Kidd on the floor and Jimmy connects with a clothesline off the steps, then Kidd uses Nattie to shield himself from an attack. He takes a cheap shot at Jimmy before Cesaro uppercuts him for two, then Jimmy connects with a thrust kick near the apron. Kidd snaps his head on the ropes and monkey flips him over the ropes, but Jey runs over and catches them, then slams Kidd into the barricade. We get back from a break to see Jey block an elbow drop, then he goes for a tag but Cesaro breaks it up and uppercuts him. Kidd connects with a diving elbow before Jey hits an enziguiri, then Kidd ducks a strike and goes for a pin on the ropes. Naomi shoves him off the ropes and Nattie gets into it with her, and Jey heads up top but Nattie jumps up and shoves him off the turnbuckles. The ref rings the bell as Naomi goes after Nattie, and they fight on the floor until they are pulled apart, and Nattie is helped away as she sells a knee injury. 

Winners (by disqualification) – The Usos 

BP: Decent match; I was surprised the titles switched hands last night, but I wouldn’t mind if this sets up a mixed six person tag match at Wrestlemania. Not taking anything away from Naomi or the new champs, but The Usos and Natalya definitely deserve a good Wrestlemania match and moment. 

The Miz rips on Damien Mizdow for showing up late, then Miz talks about entering the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. He says it will only bring him bigger things, then Mizdow says he wanted to thank Miz for all of his help. Mizdow says now that he’s not a stunt double he’s getting all kinds of offers, and Miz looks annoyed and makes him roll all of the lint off of his jacket.
