    Angry WWE RAW Live Coverage - April 25th, 2022




    Randy Orton to be honored in 20th Anniversary Celebration

    Tonight, WWE celebrate's the 20th anniversary of Randy Orton’s debut.
    On April 25, 2002, The Viper made his WWE debut with a victory against Hardcore Holly on SmackDown. Twenty years, 14 World Championships, four Tag Team Titles, two Royal Rumble victories, and one Money in the Bank contract later, Orton remains a legend in this sports-entertainment industry.





    – Tonight’s WWE RAW opens live on the USA Network as Jimmy Smith welcomes us to the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee. He’s joined at ringside by Corey Graves and Byron Saxton.

    – We go right to the ring and RAW Tag Team Champion Riddle is out with a mic. The ring is surrounded by Superstars, everyone from Veer Mahaan to The Street Profits, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens and many others. Riddle says we’re here to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of his partner, RAW Tag Team Champion Randy Orton. Riddle sends us to a video package with highlights from Orton’s career.

    The video, narrated by The Viper himself, also looks at Orton teaming with Riddle as RK-Bro. We come back to fans chanting for Orton and applauding. Riddle brings Orton out, describing him as his best friend, and calls on fans to stand and clap. The music hits and out comes Orton to a big pop. Orton plays to the crowd as the music continues. The music stops and a “Randy!” chant starts. Orton says this is all pretty cool, and he appreciates this. Orton says it’s even cooler than he was born in Knoxville.

    Orton says his journey has seen a lot of ups & downs, twists & turns, but he hopes everyone isn’t getting sick of him because he’s not going anywhere any time soon. Orton says 20 years flew by in a flash. He’s had a lot of relationships, a lot of good matches. He named people like John Cena and WWE Hall of Famers Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Mick Foley, among others. He gave big thanks to Foley. Orton says the one big difference these days is how he’s having more fun than he has in his entire career, and it’s all thanks to Riddle. Orton asks for a hug and now a “RK-Bro!” chant starts up.

    Orton says he and the fans have also had their ups & downs, but they always came back to support him and there would be no Orton without the fans. Orton says he loves the fans as well. Fans chant “Randy!” again. Riddle says he has a surprise for Orton, a second generation Superstar who has a lot of respect for Orton. Riddle goes on and introduces Cody Rhodes, who also comes out to a pop, wearing a suit. Rhodes enters the ring and they hug in the middle as fans pop. Riddle loves to see it.

    Rollins immediately interrupts from his chair at ringside, calling the hug cute. Rollins warns Orton to not trust Rhodes because he’s here to steal Orton’s spotlight, not show love, just like he tried to steal Rollins’ spotlight at WrestleMania 38. Rollins is in the ring now. Rollins says not everything is about Cody. Rollins laughs and says tonight specifically is about Randy Orton, and Seth dressed up in his finest to celebrate what a career Orton has had, but a career that is in the past. Rollins says Orton is not the present or future of WWE, and neither is Rhodes. Fans boo. Rollins says the next generation of Superstars won’t be inspired by The Viper, a bro or a Nightmare, they will be inspired by a Visionary, Seth Freakin’ Rollins.

    Ezekiel enters the ring and apologizes for interrupting, but then congratulates Orton and introduces himself as Ezekiel, the younger brother to Elias. Ezekiel recalls watching RAW with his brother, and how Orton dominated. Kevin Owens comes through the crowd, yelling about how Ezekiel is a liar, and a disgusting piece of trash. Owens says Ezekiel passed the lie detector test last week, but he will figure out how because he’s the only sane person left around here. Owens is losing his mind. The music interrupts and out come SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos – Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso.

    The Usos recall watching Orton when they were 15 years old. They enter the ring and ask each other if they have favorite Orton moments. Their favorite moment will be when they beat RK-Bro and unify the titles. The Usos go on talking some trash and raise their titles in the air to loud boos from the crowd. Adam Pearce comes out and says before we tarnish the celebration he wants to make something clear – Orton will be in action tonight, in the form of the biggest match he can make on RAW. Pearce announces Owens, Rollins and The Usos vs. Rhodes, Ezekiel and RK-Bro. Fans pop at the announcement. The two teams argue in the middle of the ring now. Owens drops Ezekiel with a punch out of nowhere. Orton drops Owens with the RKO. The babyfaces stand tall in the ring now as Orton’s music hits and the others look on.

    – We see Kane and Bianca Belair talking backstage. Back to commercial.


    No DQ, No Count Outs Match for the RAW Women’s Title: Sonya Deville vs. Bianca Belair

    Back from the break and Sonya Deville is getting ready in the ring. Out next comes RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair for her homecoming title defense. We see what happened to lead to this match. The bell rings and we get formal ring introductions from Mike Rome.

    The bell rings and here we go. They lock up and Deville goes for a headlock. Belair drops Deville with a shoulder, sending her to the floor to regroup. Deville pulls Belair to the floor now and they end up tangling at ringside until Belair counters and launches Deville over the announce table, to the floor. Belair returns to the ring and the referee counts. Deville is counted out.

    The referee has a count out announced, but Deville snatches the mic from Rome and blames what happened on water being on the ground. She announces that the match is being re-started with no count outs.

    The bell rings and the match resumes. Belair attacks Deville at ringside but Deville rams her back into the edge of the apron. Deville launches Belair into the barrier but Belair fights back. Deville tries to use Belair’s hair but it back-fires and Belair launches her over into the timekeeper’s area. Belair approaches and Deville hits her in the ribs, then over the back with a steel chair to boos.

    The referee has this announced as a DQ finish but Deville snatches the mic and says Belair cheated first, so she evened the playing field. Deville says we are re-starting the match with no disqualifications, and no count outs. Deville keeps Belair down on the floor as Carmella and Queen Zelina Vega come marching down the ramp to help her with the champ. We go to commercial.

    Back from the break and Deville is working on Belair while the other two hold her. Belair fights them off and slams Deville with a Spinebuster. Belair mounts Deville and unloads with lefts and rights as fans cheer her on. Deville and Vega double team Belair now. Belair sends Vega to the floor, then sends Carmella out of the ring.

    – Back from the break and we see how Bianca Belair fought off Carmella and Queen Zelina Vega to retain over Sonya Deville. All three of the heels are backstage now.

Deville delivers a hard slap to Vega’s face. Deville blocks a slap from Carmella, and reminds her she is still their boss. Carmella goes to speak but Deville slaps her to the ground.

    – We see how AJ Styles was attacked backstage by Damian Priest and WWE Hall of Famer Edge now. Edge says they look down on everyone from their Mountain of Omnipotence and if they get closer, they kick them in the face to knock them back down. Edge says Finn Balor’s stay of execution ends tonight. He goes on and insults the local crowd, then the voters who put WWE Hall of Famer Kane into office as Mayor Jacobs of Knox County. Edge goes on with words for AJ Styles, pointing to how they focused on his shoulder last week. Edge mentions how they are better than your favorites, and that statement is true so you need to choke it down. Edge recalls how AJ didn’t hit the Phenomenal Forearm at WrestleMania, and he bets AJ can’t hit it with one arm at WrestleMania Backlash. Edge warns AJ to stay at home and hug his kids with his one good arm because he is over his head, then tells Balor they will see him later tonight. Priest says Finn’s guilt has been determined and he is the punishment. Priest says Balor’s judgement day has arrived. He laughs as Edge tips the scales of justice to end the segment.

    Veer Mahaan vs. Sam Smothers

    We go back to the ring and out comes Veer Mahaan. Back to commercial.

    Back from the break and Veer stands tall as enhancement talent Sam Smothers waits in the ring. We see how Veer took out Dominik Mysterio two weeks ago, then squashed another enhancement talent last week.

    The bell rings and Veer levels Sam with a clothesline, then begins to dominate him. Veer with a splash to the back in the corner, then the big Million Dollar Arm lariat. Veer jumps on Sam’s back and applies the cervical clutch for the quick submission win.

    – Bobby Lashley is backstage throwing punches when Sarah Schreiber walks up, pointing to how this might not be the proper way to train for an Arm Wrestling Contest. Lashley says he’s pretty confident in an Arm Wrestling Contest because he’s stronger, but he has to be prepared if it goes past that because he doesn’t trust Omos or MVP.

    Arm Wrestling Contest: Omos vs. Bobby Lashley

    We go back to the ring and out comes Omos with MVP. They march into the ring and we go back to commercial.

    Back from the break and Lynch is wrapping up her entrance. She takes the mic, under a spotlight, and mostly boos ring out from the crowd. Lynch says it’s been 3 years since she walked out on RAW without her title, 3 years since anyone could beat her for it. She wants to be honest – she didn’t want to show her face without the title because she doesn’t know who Becky Lynch is without it. She says she didn’t recognize herself any longer after WrestleMania 38. Lynch says she’s hit rock bottom, that’s all she has to say.

    Lynch bends over as some fans cheer. She bounces back up and says wait a minute, there’s only one way to go and that’s up if she’s hit rock bottom. She gets fired up now and says this is the beginning of a legendary comeback, as no one does comebacks like she does. She can’t stay down at the bottom with the shlubs of the Earth, no. Lynch is sounding a little crazy here.

    And the fans get to witness her rise back to her title, when she overcomes the hometown star Bianca Belair, and then no one will be able to stop her once she gets the RAW Women’s Title back. Then no one can stop her – not Belair, Sonya Deville, Liv Morgan, not… the music interrupts and out comes Asuka for a big return pop. This is her first appearance since July 2021.

    Asuka marches into the ring and poses in the corner as Lynch stares her down. Fans cheer as Asuka takes the mic and yells some in Japanese. Asuka dances around as fans chant her name now. Asuka says she will stop Becky… because no one is ready for Asuka! She dances around some more as Lynch nods. Asuka flicks Becky’s nose in a show of disrespect. Becky can’t believe this. Becky seethes, swings and misses. Asuka also misses a back-fist as Lynch retreats to the floor, shocked and frustrated at what just happened. Lynch looks on from the ramp as Asuka celebrates in the ring.

    Winner: Damian Priest

Miz yells at them to show some respect to his guest.

Miz rants more about how people have to earn their title shots from Theory. The music interrupts and out comes the returning Mustafa Ali.

    Ali hits the ring and Miz asks if he still works here. Theory asks if Ali is the guy who took his ball and went home. Miz jokes about this being Mufasa, the younger brother to Mustafa Ali, like Ezekiel is the younger brother to Elias. Ali says that was a bad joke and if he wanted a laugh, he’d just watch Miz wrestle. Ali declares that he is back here on RAW. He was talking some business with Adam Pearce in the back but when he heard Theory was going to be on MizTV, he just had to come out here because he’s hoping Theory is holding an Open Challenge for the title, and he’s hoping he will be the one to answer it. Ali proposes they fight for the title tonight and some fans start cheering.

    Theory says he will think about it… no. Ali isn’t surprised. He asks if Theory has no spine, all biceps and no balls as he is Mr. McMahon’s protege. Ali asks Theory what he’s scared of and why is he running away like his name is The Miz. Theory stands up for Miz as Miz shows off some. Miz says Ali is trying to use his name for some notoriety and he’d love to embarrass Ali right now, but he doesn’t have a magic wand to make a match. Theory says he just texted Mr. McMahon and the match is on. Miz isn’t thrilled but Ali thanks Theory.

Officials rush in to break it up but they keep going at it.

    I think was a good Orton celebration. Would have loved to see Trips, Flair and Batista come out but I understand they moving story lines forward.

    Thank you for LC
