Kane gets involved and gets laid out by Ryback with "Shell Shock". While distracted with Kane, Ryback forgets about Rollins, who lands a "Curb Stomp" on Ryback. Rollins then hits a second "Curb Stomp" on Ryback, covers and scores the pinfall.

- Adam Rose vs. Big E: Back and forth match with a quick ending. Two of Rose's Rosebuds wearing masks get in the ring and attack Big E. causing the DQ. Big E gets beat down then the two mask guys unmask and reveal themselves to be Cesaro and Tyson Kidd.

- John Cena Appreciation Night Segment: Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are in the ring. Stephanie says John Cena knew that reinstating The Authority was best for business. Cena is called out and he heads out to the ring. Triple H tells Cena that he appreciates him from the bottom of his heart and thinks that Cena finally looks past "Hustle, Loyalty and Respect" and realizes what's best for business. Triple H calls out Ryback, Dolph Ziggler and Erick Rowan who were apart of Team Cena at Survivor Series. Triple H says they all were thrown back into the fire when Cena reinstated The Authority. Triple H and Stephanie have a private discussion with each other then walk to the stage. The Authority announce that Rowan, Ryback and Ziggler, as punishment, are now fired and they can thank Cena for that. Music plays, Triple H and Stephanie kiss, balloons and confetti fall from the rafters and RAW closes out with Cena standing stunned at what just happened.

By @B_Rock1978

The Weekend 3 Count is brought to you by Triple Threat CLE.

*** Weekend Flashback ***

- From now till the Royal Rumble, I'll be flashbacking to some of my favorite moments in the Royal Rumble. This week I picked four highlight videos of Royal Rumble endings that caused controversy.

- First up it's the 1994 Royal Rumble. Lex Luger and Bret Hart both go over the ropes to end the Rumble.


- Next up it's the 1995 Royal Rumble. Davey Boy Smith eliminates Shawn Michaels to win the Rumble......but wait......Michaels actually wins it.


- Next it's the 1997 Royal Rumble. Bret Hart eliminates Steve Austin but Austin still wins the Rumble.


- Finally it's the 2005 Royal Rumble. Batista and John Cena eliminate each other and the Chairman of the WWE, Vince McMahon, breaks a leg to restart the match.....literally.


*** WWE News and Rumors ***

- During RAW this week we seen new WWE World Tag Team Champions crowned, as The Usos defeated The Miz and Damien Sandow. The Usos are now 2-Time World Tag Team Champions.

- Also during RAW, Christian was announced as being retired. This is in fact true due to nagging injuries, Christian is in fact retired from the ring.

- And also on RAW, The Authority are back in charge again. John Cena was forced to agree to let Triple H and Stephanie McMahon return to TV to save Edge from getting his neck broken by Seth Rollins.

- UFC President, Dana White, recently commented on the rumors about Brock Lesnar coming back to the UFC. White has stated that they are in fact rumors and that he has not spoken to Lesnar in the past few months. Bellatar MMA have also made it known that they are interested in Lesnar but have not officially contacted Lesnar yet. 

- Chris Jericho is still not expected to be at Wrestlemania 31 this year. Jericho's current contract states he'll make 15 appearances from January through February. Afterwards he'll be back on tour with Fozzy. On a side note that has nothing to do with wrestling but more to do with Jericho's band Fozzy. I seen Fozzy back in October at the Cleveland House of Blues. Awesome show, Fozzy puts on a great performance. If you're a fan of hard rock and metal, check Fozzy out. (Cheap pop for you Jericho, you're welcome sir.)

- Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan, is currently working on an autobiography. Bryan stated that it will be about the wrestling road diaries that he wrote during his travels with Colt Cabana and Sal Rinauro before he joined WWE in 2009.

- Daniel Bryan officially announced that he is cleared to come back to wrestle on this past week's RAW. Bryan will enter the 2015 Royal Rumble.

- Randy Orton recently had surgery on his nose, repairing a deviated septum. The injury is only a two week recovery. Reason why Orton hasn't returned to WWE TV as of yet.

- Sheamus is scheduled to make his return to the WWE soon, after being out due to surgery. There is some speculation that Sheamus may be a heel when he returns.

- It again appears that Rey Mysterio is done with the WWE. Sources have said that WWE originally came up with a storyline for Rey that would've started at Survivor Series and ended at Wrestlemania 31, but the idea was scrapped. Sources are saying that Rey is waiting for his release now so he can move on.

- WWE Hall of Famer and current commentator, Jerry "The King" Lawler was hospitalized this week. Lawler has been diagnosed with
diverticulitis and is expected to be released within the next several days.

- WWE Hall of Famer, Shawn Michaels, is ready to release a new book of his own. "Wrestling For My Life: The Legend, the Reality, and the Faith of a WWE Superstar" is scheduled to hit stores on February 10th. The book will be his second autobiography.

- NXT Diva, Sasha Banks, made her main roster debut this week on Main Event.

- NXT's Tyler Breeze had a dark match at a live WWE show this week.

- NXT will begin airing their shows on Wednesday nights starting January 14th. Obviously so it doesn't interfere with Smackdown which will make the Thursday night jump.

- I've noted a few times in the past that the WWE was possibly interested in signing Independent wrestler, Uhaa Nation. Sources are saying that both parties have agreed to a deal.

- Sources are saying that after the past issues with the way Alberto Del Rio and CM Punk have left the WWE, WWE is changing their performer contracts. The contracts now state that if a WWE Superstar is fired for disciplinary reasons, then they will forfeit all merchandise rights and can't work in pro wrestling or MMA for one year.

*** TNA News and Rumors ***

- TNA officially announced that Kurt Angle has re-signed with TNA...even though ex-WWE and TNA writer, Vince Russo, already announced it when Angle was on his podcast a few weeks back. Better late than never I guess.

Anderson, Abyss, Jessie Godderz and Madison Rayne to the new contracts signed list.

- TNA has also stated that they may be out of showing pay per views on pay per view channels in 2015. In the past Lockdown and Bound For Glory were TNA's only pay per views left that you could purchase on pay per view. TNA has stated that all their pay per views will be shown on Destination America now for free.

- Sources were saying that TNA were thinking of going back to a traditional ring when they debuted on Destination America. But now with their Lockdown free pay per view coming up in January being advertised as "Six Sides Of Steel Cage Matches", that plan may have been scrapped.

- Former TNA Knockouts Champion, ODB, was interviewed this week. ODB was asked if she would consider coming back to TNA in the future. ODB stated that she's not wrestling anymore and is happy where she is with her life currently.

*** GFW News and Rumors ***

Rollins calls out John Cena next to celebrate but Cena no-shows. Rollins says he's better than Edge. Edge says even if Rollins had a live sex celebration with Big Show he'd still never be as good as Edge. Rollins yells for John Cena to come out, but Cena still no-shows.

Edge gets his face forced down on the briefcase and Rollins threatens to re-break Edge's neck with a "Curb Stomp" unless Cena comes out. John Cena finally runs out but Rollins keeps Edge held hostage and orders Cena to stop. Rollins orders Cena to either reinstate The Authority or else he'll "Curb Stomp" Edge and make him paralyzed.

Rollins reminds Cena that Edge has a wife and a baby and being paralyzed would be bad for their family. Rollins continues to taunt Cena and threaten to paralyze Edge until Cena finally caves in and says "Yes" The Authority can come back. Rollins goes to "Curb Stomp" Edge anyway, however, Cena tackles Rollins for the block, just in time. Cena fights off Rollins and The Stooges but gets hit with the knockout punch by Show. Rollins lands a "Curb Stomp" on Cena, laying Cena out. RAW closes out with Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, Seth Rollins, Big Show, Mercury, Noble and finally the returning Triple H and Stephanie McMahon all on stage champagne toasting 2014 out and the rebirth of The Authority being back for 2015.

I want to say that tonight's RAW was pretty good. Ziggler and Rusev were used properly, both looking like legit champions. The debut of The Ascension was good, however, not sure the fans were into them like the NXT fans are. The Usos, 2-time tag team champions now. Brock Lesnar could've earned his paycheck a little bit more tonight, in my opinion. Countering a "AA" than staring down Cena was pretty weak. Daniel Bryan will be champion again in 2015, no doubt. And Seth Rollins pulled off some A+ sadistic heel moves tonight. BRAVO

And that's a wrap on this week's RAW results, till next time tap or snap.

Europe "The Final Countdown"

That is correct, it was in fact the final countdown for one of the two teams involved in last night's main event of Survivor Series. The Authority squared off with Team Cena in a traditional five on five elimination match. If The Authority lost, they would have to give up their control over the WWE. If Team Cena lost, everyone apart of Team Cena, except for John Cena, would be terminated from the company. Last night's show took place in St. Louis, Missouri, home of "The Viper" Randy Orton. Survivor Series also consisted of a traditional Survivor Series Elimination Divas Match. A.J. Lee defended her WWE Divas Championship against Nikki Bella.
