December 15 , 2014 Monday Night RAW results The December 15 , 2014 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on December 15 , 2014 at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit , Michigan . This was the RAW after Pay - Per - View . Summary . Whenever Chris Jericho comes to town , it ’ s a given that The Attitude Era ’ s most incorrigible provocateur will rankle a few feathers . Give The Ayatollah of Rock ’ n ’ Rolla matchmaking power as Raw ’ s de facto boss for the night , however , and things are really going to get interesting . Case in point : Jericho ’ s return to Raw — already set to include “ The Highlight Reel ” with Rusev and Lana — and his demand that Fandango return his stolen Slammy ended up as a four - way shouting match between John Cena , Seth Rollins , Paul Heyman and Y2J himself . The upshot of the argument was a pair of matches made for later in the evening . A banged - up Rollins against Cena in a Steel Cage Match , and Jericho himself against Paul Heyman , with a stipulation determined by WWE App vote . Just another night on Raw is Jericho , baby . One loss was avenged and another was doubled down on one night after WWE TLC when new Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler — or what was left of him , anyway — united with Erick Rowan in a losing effort against their combined opponents from WWE ’ s Demolition Derby , Luke Harper & Big Show . The tag - team affair was mercifully light on the plunder that turned the four competitors to mincemeat the previous night , but the gritty effort was worthy of its participants all the same . That sentiment was especially true for Ziggler , who shouldered the lion ’ s share of the match and was systematically pounded by Show and Harper until the latter whiffed on a shoulder charge and ran full - steam into the turnbuckle . Ziggler reached Rowan for the tag and “ Big Red ” was off to the races , looking like he might avenge his loss to Show the previous night . Despite Ziggler charging Harper over the announce table , however , a KO Punch to Rowan put the upstarts down and handed the scoundrels the victory . Nikki Bella retained her Divas Championship with a blast from a spray can to AJ Lee ’ s face , but the Divas Champion and her devious sister got an old - fashioned shellacking from two of the Divas division ’ s hardest hitters on Raw . Natalya & Alicia Fox , two Divas with no shortage of physical power and whiplash - inducing unpredictability , took care of The Bella Twins in short order when Natalya tossed Brie into Nikki — who was suspiciouslty tended to by Tyson Kidd — and reversed a facebuster into the Sharpshooter . Before Chris Jericho made his official in - ring return against Paul Heyman , there was one bit of business for The Ayatollah of Rock ’ n ’ Rolla to attend to : a “ Highlight Reel ” with special guests Rusev & Lana . And much like Jericho ’ s last “ Reel ” – a U . K . one - off that featured The Authority — things got heated real fast . Jericho failed to show Rusev respect for retaining his U . S . Title against Jack Swagger at WWE TLC , and instead peppered the Russians with questions as to the nature of their relationship . Before things could get really out of hand , however , Jericho introduced a third , unannounced guest : Ryback . The Big Guy drove the Russian coalition off , looking for all the world like he was ready to turn Rusev into a big bowl of borscht as part of his never - ending feast . An unfortunate loss at WWE TLC Kickoff to Big E & Kofi Kingston of The New Day left Gold & Stardust adrift in the cosmos , but the cosmic brothers got a chance at a smooth landing with a rematch on Raw , this time against Big E & Xavier Woods . Unfortunately , shuffling the deck did nothing to improve the hand the intergalactic grouches were dealt . Woods & E were all over Goldust and a silver - faced Stardust from the word “ go ” until the brothers managed to turn it around against the former Intercontinental Champion Big E . With the former WWE Tag Team Champions finding their groove , it fell to Woods to bail Big E out of the fire , which he did in emphatic fashion . Woods roared out of the corner to deck Goldust with the Honor Roll and , with the former champ on his heels , united with Big E to plant The Bizarre One with the Midnight Hour . The best thing to be said for Adam Rose ’ s night against Kane on Raw is that he didn ’ t get a chair whipped into his face like Ryback did at WWE TLC . Apart from that dubious bright spot , though , it was sour lemons for WWE ’ s put - upon party animal , who was picked apart by a fuming Kane , who reversed his post - TLC fortunes by executing a double - Chokeslam to both Rose and The Bunny . The Devil ’ s Favorite Demon punctuated his victory by administering a Tombstone to The Bunny — a fate previously reserved solely for chickens . Conspiracy theory alert : Maybe The Bunny is Pete Rose ? Hmmmm … A lot of Superstars like to rag on Paul Heyman for his supposed physical deficits , but “ The Grand Poobah of Hardcore ’ s ” record is surprisingly ironclad when it comes to in - ring action . Despite being forced into action over an outstanding debt of $ 200 to Chris Jericho , Brock Lesnar ’ s advocate got one over on yet another unsuspecting Superstar when his proposed match against Y2J was railroaded by — HERE COMES THE PAIN — The Beast Incarnate . Lesnar made quick work of Y2J and nullified the match , allowing The One Behind the One in 21 - 1 to walk away unscathed . Chris Jericho ’ s match with Paul Heyman ended in controversial fashion , but far more dubious was the manner in which Fandango addressed their proposed rematch after the dust had settled from Jericho ’ s previous outing . Though he still clutched Jericho ’ s Slammy , Fandango ’ s glory was short - lived thanks to Roman Reigns , who cut off Fandango ' s victory speech moments before cutting him down with a Spear . The Big Dog ’ s arrival brought out Big Show , who was looking for a little payback after WWE TLC . He got yet another Superman Punch to the mouth and an early dismissal from the 2014 Superstar of the Year for his efforts . The Miz ’ s professional overtures toward Naomi have provided a thread of unusually bad blood throughout his and Damien Mizdow ’ s rivalry with the typically fun - loving Usos . So it was no surprise that Miz ’ s one - on - one match with Jimmy Uso brought out the former WWE Tag Team Champion ’ s aggressive side in a big way . It also brought out a committed performance from Mizdow even by his lofty standards , which ended up proving the deciding factor when his stunt work distracted the ref . With the official otherwise occupied , Jey Uso clubbed Miz in the gut with a Slammy and his brother followed up with a top - rope splash for the pin . It was sweet , sweet vindication for Seth Rollins in Raw ’ s main event , as Mr . Money in the Bank not only knocked off John Cena in a match of extraordinary stipulation , but also rode a timely assist from a returning powerhouse to do it . Whereas Roman Reigns gift - wrapped Cena ’ s Tables Match victory at WWE TLC , Brock Lesnar stormed the steel cage that confined Cena and Rollins on Raw . The Beast Incarnate laid waste to his No . 1 contender after a top - rope Attitude Adjustment left both men in a heap on the mat . Turnabout being fair play and all , Rollins didn ’ t hesitate to capitalize on the three German suplexes and F - 5 that took Cena out , striking a handshake truce with Paul Heyman and pancaking Cena ’ s face with a Curb Stomp as the 15 - time World Champion struggled to get to his feet . With Cena disposed of , it was a simple walk out of the cage for Rollins to get his win . So now Cena has to deal with Lesnar , Heyman and , depending on the implications of that handshake , Rollins . He could use an ally , to say the least . Maybe Ho Ho Hogan can give Cena some help next week ?
