Wrestling Lockup with Brandon is here again and it's brought to you by Triple Threat Podcast. Today's edition is the RAW recap for last nights RAW. Last night we seen the aftermath of WWE Battleground from Sunday night. John Cena is still the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, The Miz is the newly crowned Intercontinental Champion, Paul Heyman introduced a "Plan C" idea to The Authority (even though it's obvious what that was going to be) and Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins still want to destroy each other in the worst way.
Last night's RAW kicked off the road to Summer Slam in August, live in Miami, Florida. RAW also had a special musical guest, Florida's own, hip hop musician, Flo Rida, in attendance. Let's go to the highlights.
- RAW kicked off with Triple H heading to the ring for the opener. Triple H says that no one in the back can look him in the eye over what happened last night, admits to being mad, having options to fix it, tweeting his issues, crying and rioting if he doesn't get what he wants, he could fire everyone or he could just relax. Triple H says that sooner or later he'll win and if he has to wait till SummerSlam for John Cena to lose his title then so be it. Triple H promises that Cena will not leave SummerSlam the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Randy Orton interrupts Triple H and heads to the ring. Orton says he's still owed his rematch from Wrestlemania. Triple H says he wants someone impressive to face Cena at SummerSlam and Orton is the front runner. Orton says he should be champion if not for Kane last night. Kane's music hits and out comes the devil's favorite demon. Kane says he hopes to be a consideration cause he feels he can be the champion as long as he's not babysitting Orton. Roman Reigns' music hits and out comes Reigns. Reigns says Cena vs Reigns is what everyone wants to see so his name deserves to be in it. Reigns lands a "Superman Punch" on Kane as Triple H and Orton flee. Triple H makes Reigns face Kane and Orton now.
