August 18 , 2014 Monday Night RAW results The August 18 , 2014 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on August 18 , 2014 at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas , Nevada . Summary . Sisters really are doing it for themselves : Nikki Bella made what was perhaps the biggest power play of SummerSlam 2014 when she betrayed her own flesh and blood , Brie Bella , and fed her to Stephanie McMahon in their grudge match . As Stephanie allowed Nikki to explain , the reason for the Diva ’ s total betrayal stemmed from Brie ’ s supposed “ selfishness ” throughout their lives , especially in the months since Brie quit to save Daniel Bryan ’ s title reign . It was a cold - blooded denouncing of the sisters ’ lifelong bond . Brie ’ s last - ditch offer of forgiveness to her sister was met with similar coldness , plus a stinging slap from Nikki to Brie ’ s cheek . There isn ’ t anything in this world that a few hundred pounds of raw power can ’ t possibly solve . Erick Rowan & Luke Harper of The Wyatt Family found this out to their very great detriment on Raw when they were all but scattered to the four winds by WWE ’ s newest , biggest tag team of Big Show & Mark Henry . Proclaiming himself “ fire and brimstone , ” The World ’ s Strongest Man started the proceedings and helped power his team to a lengthy advantage in the early goings . The Wyatts found their footing – so to speak – when Harper dropkicked Show through the ropes and the two swamp monsters traded shots on the giant . Rowan scored the biggest hit with a bodyslam to The World ’ s Largest Athlete , though the big men came up strong in a late - game melee after Rowan was clocked with a KO Punch and sent stumbling into the World ’ s Strongest Slam for a mighty 1 - 2 - 3 . Give Paige credit for backing up her schemes in the ring and taking the Divas Title back from AJ Lee , but the self - professed “ Diva of Tomorrow ” had a mighty short honeymoon after her second union with the butterfly title . It was Natalya who played killjoy just 24 hours after SummerSlam in a non - title match Paige dedicated to her deposed predecessor . There was an assist from said predecessor that helped The Queen of Harts get one over on the champion , though : AJ came skipping to the ring at a particularly dominant moment from Paige and Natalya pounced with a roll - up for the win . If AJ ' s wild - eyed address to the titleholder was any indication , though , Paige isn ' t out of The Black Widow ' s web just yet . Having crushed his enemies , seen them driven before him , and heard the lamentation of the Cenation , Brock Lesnar is truly nothing if not a conqueror . And like any conqueror worth his salt , The Beast Incarnate received his crown from none other than The King of Kings himself when Triple H presented Brock with a brand - new WWE World Heavyweight Championship . Following the coronation , it was Paul Heyman – once again the advocate for a reigning , undisputed WWE Champion – who commemorated the crowning of his client with a speech proclaiming nothing less than the death of Hustle , Loyalty , Respect , the Cenation itself , and any prospective challenger to The Beast ’ s crown . Who says sequels always end the same ? Dolph Ziggler ’ s Intercontinental Title rematch with The Miz ended with The Awesome One winning , yet the count - out nature of Miz ’ s win meant The Showoff continued to sport the vaunted title around his endlessly swiveling waist . Like all the great sequels , it even featured a match - long throwback to the original installment when Ziggler re - aggravated the knee he tweaked the night before , giving Miz an easy target to prepare for the Figure - Four Leglock . Which , of course , The Awesome One eventually applied . But a pre - match endorsement from Ric Flair seemed to spiritually propel Ziggler to the ropes , though Dolph couldn ’ t return to the ring in time after Miz bounced him through the cables . Neither man seemed too happy by the ending of the bout , as Miz attacked Ziggler after the match and Dolph reciprocated with a Zig Zag to the fuming former champion . Scene . The King of Swing is on the upswing . Cesaro reversed his recent misfortunes and Jack Swagger continued his own when the former Real Americans battled once again on Raw and , in a reversal of last week ’ s result , The Swiss Superman came out on top . Swagger seemed somewhat lost without Zeb Colter at his side and Cesaro gleefully pounced on his former partner , making it a point to target Swagger ’ s taped - up ribs . Even though Cesaro found himself trapped in the Patriot Lock , some well - timed chicanery ( read : a thumb to the eye ) sent Swagger reeling face - first into the Neutralizer . To add insult to injury , Bo Dallas came gallivanting out after the match and recapped Swagger ’ s laundry list of woes , while offering a faint glimmer of hope that the Real American could reclaim his dignity and the love of his countrymen if he only Bo - lived . Swagger , as one might imagine , did not seem convinced . This time last year , Randy Orton was sitting pretty as The Authority ’ s new , personally anointed WWE Champion . Now , though , the former Face of WWE is covered in egg following two demoralizing losses in the span of 24 hours . Orton ’ s second defeat does have a slight cushion in that The Viper – teamed alongside RybAxel to battle Roman Reigns , Sheamus & Rob Van Dam – did not lose by his lonesome . But the fact that they lost at all still has to sting given the dominant stretch Orton ’ s squad put together . Anchored by a mighty effort from Ryback , Orton & Co . held control for the majority of a match until Sheamus ’ reversal of Orton ’ s hanging DDT turned the tide . The bout shifted into a Roman Reigns whomping of Curtis Axel , and interference by The Viper meant to neutralize The Big Dog inadvertently allowed RVD to tag in and pick up where Reigns left off , pouncing with the Five Star Frog Splash after a knock - down brawl among all six competitors . The Usos are seeing stars : The Tag Team Champions , having asserted their skills over nearly every tandem in their division , were humbled by the cosmic duo of Goldust & Stardust in the first collision between the bizarre brotherhood and the Samoan dynamos . The Usos had their opponents on the ropes for the majority of the match , however , muscling Goldust and then Stardust to the canvas with some surprisingly forceful mat wrestling . The champions ’ decision to veer from their signature high - flying ultimately cost them ; Stardust wised up to their ground - and - pound game plan and sunset - flipped his way to the deciding pinfall , stunning the champions in Sin City . Whatever becomes of these two , it ’ s unlikely Jimmy & Jey will forget their names anytime soon . Nothing hurts Rusev , only pain . And Mark Henry has a whole Hall full of it that he ’ d like to introduce the Russian monster to in the very near future . For all the Kremlin crowing Rusev and Lana were prepared to do over their technicality - bolstered victory at SummerSlam , the two - time U . S . Olympic representative stomped to the ring about two syllables in to offer The Fist of Russia a guided tour of The Hall of Pain . He even offered Rusev a preview in the form of a World ’ s Strongest Slam and running splash that left The Super Athlete wheezing for air and Lana uncharacteristically speechless . That ’ s what he does . The WWE Universe did , indeed , decide Dean Ambrose ’ s fate . Even though their selection of a Falls Count Anywhere Match firmly put Seth Rollins in the unstable one ’ s home turf , the anything - goes atmosphere ultimately allowed The Authority to make their biggest play yet in removing Ambrose from Rollins ’ path . The decisive maneuver came after a lengthy street - style brawl between the two former Shield members wherein Ambrose bounced Rollins off the stage and The Aerialist chopped away at Ambrose with a Kendo stick before powerbombing him onto a pile of chairs . Ambrose answered with a superplex through a table . Kane , who had been observing at ringside , came in to aid Rollins when things got the most dire , and channeled his inner demon for the occasion . Not only did he help Rollins Curb Stomp Ambrose atop the announce table , he also removed the timekeeper ’ s desk to expose a hidden pile of cinder blocks through which Rollins drove Ambrose ’ s skull with a second Curb Stomp that caused the ref to stop the match . Advantage : Authority .
