June 9 , 2014 Monday Night RAW results The June 9 , 2014 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on June 9 , 2014 at Target Center in Minneapolis , Minnesota . Summary . It ’ s official : Daniel Bryan ’ s WWE World Heavyweight Championship reign is no more . Despite optimistic reports of the Champion of Champions ’ recovery heading into WWE Money in the Bank , Dr . Joseph Maroon , the Vice - Chairman , Dept . Of Neurological Surgery of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and the surgeon who performed Bryan ’ s neck surgery , relayed news of a slower - than - expected recovery . In response , Stephanie McMahon immediately stripped Bryan of his title . Triple H then entered Randy Orton into the Money in the Bank Ladder Match , now to be With that bit of business concluded , The Game took the opportunity to address the fate of The Shield ’ s remaining two members : having convinced Seth Rollins to turn from the fold , Triple H immediately placed Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns into a Six - Man Tag Team Match against The Wyatt Family . The catch ? They could choose their own partner , a task that – given all the enemies they made in the locker room – might prove difficult at best . The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow might be two titles for Sheamus , who prevailed over Intercontinental Champion Bad News Barrett to secure a spot in the Money in the Bank Match to determine the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion . Barrett asserted on his way to the ring that he would scale the heights to the supreme prize and “ never come back down , ” but he was met with stiff resistance from the Stars - and - Stripes - sporting Irishman in the form of an early Ten Beats of the Bodhrán . Despite the brawling offense of the fighting Irishman , the Intercontinental Champion Barrett was able to muscle his way back into contention with a wild Winds of Change and the back - catalogue resurrection of Wasteland . Barrett took a leaf out of Sheamus ’ book with a flurry of fists and a headbutt that knocked the Celt loopy . Thankfully , it only takes one burst to connect with the Brogue Kick and a punchy Sheamus was able to do just that , putting the boot to Barrett ’ s mug to book his ticket to Boston . The Ultimate Broski is no match for the Hero of the Russian Federation . Looking for some payback after being stomped by Rusev two weeks earlier , Zack Ryder hit the ring for a fight and was hit back in short order by The Super Athlete . Fresh off being anointed a Hero of the Russian Federation , Rusev was in fine form and Ryder was simply outmatched from the word go . Sporting the Gold Star around his neck , The Bulgarian Brute turned Ryder into a black spot with a kick to the face that reverberated all the way to Long Beach , and a backbreaking Accolade that sent Long Island Iced - Z home cold . The search continues . Cody Rhodes ’ latest attempt to find a tag - team replacement for his brother Goldust went much like the last attempt did after The Bizarre One ’ s thrown - together tandem with R - Truth ended in yet another notch in the loss column for the former Intercontinental Champion . It also gave another reason for RybAxel to crow ; the former Paul Heyman Guys have certainly used the Rhodes ’ misfortune to their advantage , gelling like never before in the speedy dismantling of their mismatched opponents . The only opening Goldust & Truth had came from a miscommunication between their foes , and Ryback took advantage of a hot run by The Bizarre One with a timely distraction so hometown hero Curtis Axel could steal the win with a roll - up and a handful of tights . The Shield may be one man down , but The Hounds of Justice still have plenty of bark left . After disposing of would - be party crashers , 3MB , Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns seized the microphone to address the traitor Seth Rollins and the state of their rivalry with The Authority going forward . As it turns out , neither Ambrose nor Reigns was in the mood for explanations , just retribution . “ When I get the opportunity to rearrange your face , which I will … I ’ m gonna rip your dirty , stinking hair out by the roots , ” promised Ambrose . “ You ’ re the scum of the earth , ” followed Reigns , who also promised to get his hands on Randy Orton . But he saved his final warning for Triple H , promising his own “ Game of Thrones ” for The King of Kings . Even though The Usos have stumbled of late in their tangos with The Wyatt Family , the Samoan brothers found their footing in a successful tag - team two - step against the re - formed duo of Fandango & a body - sock - clad , streamer - sporting Damien Sandow , who tagged into the match and unleashed an interpretive dance routine that won the heart of the WWE Universe . While Sandow ’ s antics would have won them the Jack Rabbit Slim ’ s dance contest hands down , it didn ’ t do him much good across the ring from the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions . A pair of superkicks spelled an unceremonious end for “ San - dango ” – one to Damien in the ring and one to an interfering Fandango on the apron - and a Superfly Splash splattered Sandow for the 1 - 2 - 3 . All the PhDs in the world aren ’ t worth the paper they ’ re printed on … if you don ’ t BO - LIEVE . That , at least , was the lesson learned by Xavier Woods as the latest Superstar to go toe - to - toe against the former NXT Champion , Bo Dallas . Woods didn ’ t need much motivation to come out swinging against the most inspirational Superstar in WWE today , jacking Dallas ’ jaw and leaving him reeling for the majority of the match . Dallas knew just when to make his move , though , knocking Truth out of the air and whirling him around for the Running Bo - dog and the extension of his debut winning streak . Call him 6 - 0 Bo . In three weeks , Paul Heyman might just be introducing his client as the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion . For the benefit of the people of Minnesota – the very state where Brock Lesnar competed as a collegiate wrestler – the mad scientist ’ s latest charge , Cesaro , defeated Rob Van Dam to earn his way into his second consecutive Ladder Match at WWE Money in the Bank . Granted , the stakes are much higher for this contest , and The King of Swing fought with the appropriate intensity to ensure his passage to Boston . RVD didn ’ t exactly hold back in his pursuit of the victory either , kicking Cesaro in the head all the way across the ring . The Swiss Superman countered by reversing Rolling Thunder into the Very European Uppercut and didn ’ t let up from there , cranking RVD ’ s legs against the turnbuckle to ground the former WWE Champion and following with a Neutralizer that was , well , money . Well , enough about the poor Mr . Ambrose and Mr . Reigns , onto the rich and prosperous Mr . Rollins . Breaking his silence with a sit - down interview alongside Michael Cole , the Hounds of Justice ’ s resident turncoat did just that . With a demeanor as snug as the black - on - black suit he wore to the ring , Rollins defended his right to destroy his own creation and denounced the “ lunatic ” Ambrose and “ golden boy ” Reigns as inferior competitors who rode his coattails to success . Rollins also revealed he subscribed wholeheartedly to Triple H ’ s “ adapt or perish ” philosophy , and hadn ’ t so much sold out as bought into a better opportunity than the “ business relationship ” he ’ d had with The Shield . Having said his words , Rollins then dared The Shield to make good on their earlier promise to make him eat them , but The Aerialist took flight when the timely arrival of The Wyatts provided him cover for a quick escape . It took none other than John Cena to even the odds and send The Wyatts scurrying , which led to the upside : Looks like The Shield found themselves a partner for later in the night . Think Paige is scared of the big , bad Miss Fox ? Think again . Even with Aksana flanking her rival of the last several months , Paige proved she ’ s not planning on slowing down anytime soon with another victory over the increasingly manic Alicia Fox on Raw . Alicia , to her credit , ran roughshod over The Diva of Tomorrow for a good portion of the match until Paige found her footing , shrieking in Alicia ’ s face and neutralizing Aksana at ringside with a timely bit of misdirection before locking in the PTO for the win . For once , though , the commentary team wasn ’ t the target of Alicia ’ s post - match tantrum . Instead , it was Aksana who got a face full of water and popcorn before a truly bizarre make - up hug . What ’ s a little freakout between friends ? Once upon a time , Jack Swagger and Santino Marella butted heads over the U . S . Championship . Now , it seems like Swagger will be satisfied with nothing less than expelling The Italian Stallion from the United States itself . For his part , Santino ’ s inclusion on Zeb Colter ’ s deportation list had him fighting mad as well ; he frustrated Swagger to such a degree that The Founding Father had to deliver not one but two slaps to his charge to get him back in the game . The good news was that it was all gravy from there for the former World Champion , who punched Santino in the face to stymie The Cobra and unconventionally – but effectively – finish the deed with a gutwrench powerbomb . Maybe the Cenation and The Hounds of Justice should have joined forces sooner . Despite the stiff resistance The Wyatts met from the impromptu team of their most recent enemies , the unlikely allies proved every bit as dominant as the original - recipe Shield had been not two weeks ago . Dean Ambrose shouldered the majority of the load early on , starting against Erick Rowan but throwing punches at Luke Harper and Bray Wyatt as well . The Eater of Worlds and his brood wisely let The Lunatic Fringe punch himself out and held strong once Cena finally entered the fray . Bray Wyatt , no longer the shepherd in the valley of darkness but rather “ reborn ” as a destroyer , all but feasted on the Cenation leader , but it was Roman Reigns – as ever – who proved to be the equalizer when he cut Luke Harper down with a massive Spear . If the victory served as a warning to Seth Rollins , it ’ s safe to say The Architect – observing on a monitor with Triple H backstage – got the message loud and clear .
