March 31 , 2014 Monday Night RAW results The March 31 , 2014 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on March 31 , 2014 at Verizon Center in Washington , D . C . Summary . For one last time , The Deadman rose on Monday Night Raw to deliver one final message to his WrestleMania opponent , Brock Lesnar . Much has been made of The Undertaker ’ s supposed vulnerability leading into his 22nd defense of the vaunted Streak in New Orleans . Yet , despite the mounting whispers of his doubters , The Phenom remained steadfast in his promise to stave off The Beast Incarnate at The Show of Shows in six days ’ time and maintain one of life ' s three guarantees : Death , taxes and The Streak . Actions , ultimately , proved The Demon of Death Valley to prove more fallible than he let on ; Lesnar and Paul Heyman not only interrupted Undertaker ’ s final message to The Anomaly , but Lesnar himself left The Deadman down when he stormed the ring and laid out the former WWE Champion with an F - 5 that would have made the Devil himself cringe . He may not have gotten a crack at Big E ’ s Intercontinental Championship last week , but Alberto Del Rio came through in the clutch when he faced off against his longtime rival in a non - title contest . Operating at a distinct disadvantage when it came to power , Del Rio relied on his cunning and targeted the tree - trunk arm of the powerlifting champion to rob him of his momentum . E was able to rally and put together some solid sequences that knocked his opponent loopy , though it seemed as though Del Rio was always there to meet the titleholder before his momentum built to its peak . A Herculean escape of the Cross Armbreaker put Del Rio on his heels , yet The Essence of Excellence stomped E off the turnbuckle and sealed the win with his old standby when submission strategy fails him : A vicious kick straight to the head . Adios . Things got a little … slappy between Summer Rae and Natalya on “ Total Divas ” last night , so what better way to let the two Divas vent their frustrations than by throwing them in a match together ? The Dungeon Diva and Fandango ’ s leading lady laid into each other almost the second the bell rang , with Natalya quickly claiming the upper hand by pouncing on her primped - out opponent . Summer dipped into her arsenal of submission holds to reverse the advantage , though it took another slap to the face to truly get Natalya ’ s attention . Unfortunately for The Queen of Harts , while the slap spurred her into action , it also threw her off her game plan and Summer was able to capitalize with a kick to the head to claim the win . Are they not merciful ? The Authority , in their benevolence , decided to grant the WWE Unvierse the opportunity to bid farewell to Daniel Bryan ’ s “ Yes ! ” Movement , though they stopped short of giving the fans face time with The Beard , having sent him to New Orleans early for some rest in advance of WrestleMania . What they did give was a eulogy of sorts , displaying The Game ’ s dominance against the WWE Universe ’ s chosen heroes before The King of Kings vowed to fulfill his destiny as COO and WWE World Heavyweight Champion … And then Batista showed up . The Animal was already in deep water with The Authority after last week , and Randy Orton soon made his own way to the ring to better get a glimpse at the follow - up . The COO seemed unimpressed with his Champion of Champions at the moment , however , and in a final act of motivation , made Orton ’ s Raw match with Batista No Disqualification . The WrestleMania Pre - Show will become a tag team free - for - all when The Usos , The Real Americans , Los Matadores & Rybaxel battle for the twin championships . And The WWE Universe got a taste of things to come – and the emergence of a dark horse team – when The Usos & Matadores teamed up to face Rybaxel and Zeb Colter ’ s foot soldiers . The champs started things strong , peppering both members of Rybaxel with ear - splitting chops to the chest ( # WOO ) while Los Matadores played backup . Cesaro & Swagger swung the tide back in their team ’ s favor when they isolated Jey Uso , though Jimmy held tough against a fresh Axel to keep his team rolling . An all - out brawl ensued that ended with Fernando trapped in Swagger ’ s Patriot Lock , though Diego came through when things looked bleakest by riding an Uso interference to pull the ol ’ switcheroo on Swagger and roll him up for the win . Damien Sandow ’ s woes began when his treachery disbanded Team Rhodes Scholars last summer ; can a team - up with Fandango set The Intellectual Savior of the Masses back on the proper path ? The answer lies somewhere between “ yes ” and “ no ; ” Sandow looked sharp in his team - up with the dancing fiend , but their inaugural stint as a tandem ended in disappointment against Cody Rhodes & Goldust . Fandango easily softened up his recent rivals , the Rhodes Bros . , and Sandow , unsurprisingly , targeted his former partner Cody when he tagged in . The Enlightened One more or less got the better of him , too , forcing Cody to tag in his big brother and make the save . That , Goldust did , fending off both The Brotherhood ’ s opponents and sending “ San - dango ” home empty - handed with a Final Cut to the former Mr . Money in the Bank . Truth is this : Bray Wyatt is ready for WrestleMania , but two can play at The Eater of Worlds ’ famous mind games . “ The Man of 1 , 000 Truths ” got a chance to prepare himself for The Show of Shows with a bout against R - Truth . Like their previous encounter , the former U . S . Champion came correct but Wyatt was ready for him , splashing Truth into the corner and bidding him goodnight with Sister Abigail . Bray ’ s display of brutality continued when he fed Xavier Woods to a Luke Harper clothesline , though his post - match celebration was stopped by the appearance of a masked individual appearing to be a new acolyte of the Family . The stranger removed his mask to reveal it was , of course , John Cena , whose presence drove the Family into a frenzy and sent them scurrying for retreat . Now that ’ s pulling the wool over your enemies ’ eyes . It will be every Diva for herself in the Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational at WrestleMania 30 , but in a match where the entire division was set to act as enforcers , AJ Lee found herself alone in a sea of enemies . None of the assembled “ Lumberjills ” patrolling the outside for the titleholder ’ s match against Naomi wanted to lay a finger on the Funkadactyl , though they jumped at the chance to get their licks in on the self - proclaimed Queen of the Divas division . Confined to the ring itself , AJ acquitted herself well against her most persistent opponent , though not well enough to stop the Divas from ganging up on her when she rolled to the outside for respite . Tamina attempted to cut off the attack and was similarly attacked , though AJ felt the ultimate consequence when the Lumberjills hauled her into the ring and straight into Naomi ’ s Rear View . Despite the WWE Universe picking Roman Reigns as Kane ’ s Shield - allegiant opponent of the night via the WWE App – and despite the Director of Operations ’ disqualification win – the bout ended in indecisive , if tantalizing , fashion mere days before The Shield ' s battle against their latest , and most seasoned , opponents . The former and current record holders for most Royal Rumble Match eliminations didn ’ t so much wrestle each other as engage in a monster - movie style collision , though the arrival of The New Age Outlaws left Reigns outnumbered at the moment of truth . Happily , The Hounds of Justice run together , and no sooner had Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins arrived to neutralize the threat than Reigns struck Kane down with the Superman Punch . The Shield swarmed The Devil ’ s Favorite Director of Operations to shut down the match , though Kane eluded the Triple Powerbomb with the help of The Outlaws . Sunday he may not be so lucky . Twenty - nine years ago , Roddy Piper main - evented the very first WrestleMania . And now , as the 30th Show of Shows approaches , “ Hot Rod ’ s ” special anniversary edition of “ Piper ’ s Pit ” got a little … well , rowdy . Seeking to interview the odds - on favorite for The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal brought out self - professed winners The Miz , Sheamus , Titus O ’ Neil and Dolph Ziggler ( sporting an Andre shirt , natch ) . Piper , seeing things were headed towards a melee , got things started by poking Miz in the eyes and utter chaos ensued when the locker room emptied into the ring . Rey Mysterio briefly seemed like he ’ d shine in the impromptu brawl , though it was Big Show who left a lasting impression by using The Master of the 619 as a human projectile against his fellow Battle Royal participants . The WWE Universe was finally set to see who would prevail in a battle between The Viper and The Animal … but thanks to a well - timed appearance by a third party , they ’ ll have to keep waiting . With The Authority observing at ringside and Triple H goading his two prospective opponents into brutalizing each other , Orton and Batista clashed in a No - DQ environment like it truly was the main event of WrestleMania . Despite Orton discovering his inner Viper via a Kendo stick and Batista countering with his Animal side , the WWE Universe rained jeers on all involved and roared chants of “ DAN - IEL - BRY - AN ! ” at the two Superstars . Well , ask and you shall receive : Orton was preparing for the RKO when Bryan hopped the barricade and battered The Game into a stupor , throwing a Running Knee to Batista and a kick to Orton ’ s head along the way as he sent all three of his prospective WrestleMania opponents running for cover . Guess he ain ’ t in NOLA yet after all .
