Wrestling Lockup with Brandon 8.19.14: WWE Raw


Eat...Sleep...Conquer....CHAMPION!

Wrestling Lockup with Brandon is here, brought to you by Triple Threat Podcast. Last night on RAW began the "Era of The Beast" as the newly crowned WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar's, run as champ began. Lesnar destroyed John Cena at SummerSlam with his UFC style ground and pound, 16 german suplexes and 2 "F-5's". What are we in for with Lesnar as the face of the company now? Will John Cena be the same after taking probably the worst beating of his life? Let's get this week's RAW recap started live from Las Vegas, Nevada.

- In Ring Promo: RAW kicked off with Daniel Bryan's music playing, however, no Daniel Bryan. It is instead Stephanie McMahon mocking the "Yes" chants with "Steph" chants. Stephanie talks about SummerSlam's success, being more popular on social media then Wrestlemania, Brock Lesnar getting a new world title awarded to him later and talks about Lesnar's brutal beating on John Cena. Steph calls Chris Jericho, Dean Ambrose and Brie Bella losers and thanks her husband Triple H, who isn't a cheater like Daniel Bryan. Steph next calls out Nikki Bella. Nikki Bella comes out to the ring to "You Sold Out" chants. Nikki says Brie never turned out to be the sister that Nikki hoped she'd be and talks about Daniel Bryan cheating on Brie. Nikki pretends to get emotional, says she's stressed out and says she's free now without Brie. Brie Bella arrives to "Yes" chants. Brie tells Nikki she loves her and forgives her for what she did to their family. Nikki slaps Brie to the mat and says she'll never forgive her. Brie leaves crying.
