The November 24, 2014 edition of WWE's Monday Night Raw emanates live from the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis and begins with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, who come out to a chorus of boos.
Stephanie says they expected this reaction, but they are out here to take responsibility for their actions. She says Team Authority would have won if it weren't for Sting. Triple H says the crowd must be loving this and asks if they want to see Steph cry. He says the people got what they wanted, but they need to be careful what they wish for because nobody here can handle that kind of power.
Triple H says he doesn't know why Sting got involved, but it doesn't matter because all he did was ensure the demise of the WWE. He says The Authority kept the WWE thriving by any means necessary. He asks what the crowd plans to do when Raw no longer exists. He says the crowd will beg for them to come back.
Daniel Bryan's music hits! He does a Yes! chant down to the ring. The Authority leaves the ring as Bryan chants right in their face. As they head up the ramp, he runs in front of them and keeps doing it.
Bryan says it feels great to be in the ring and it felt great to kick the Authority out of the ring. He says he has been put in charge of running Raw for the night and introduces Team Authority. Seth Rollins, Jamie Noble, Joey Mercury, Kane, Rusev, Lana, Mark Henry and Luke Harper all stand on the stage. Bryan says he is not a spiteful man, and he starts with Rollins. He says Rollins is used to handicap matches, so he books him in a 3-on-2 match against John Cena and Dolph Ziggler.
Before he can announce the partners, Rollins cuts him off and says he is still the future of the WWE. Rollins asks who his partners will be, and Bryan says he is not teaming him up with anyone because the WWE Universe will decide. The choices are Mark Henry and Luke Harper, Mark Henry and Kane, and Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury. Rollins gets upset, but Bryan reminds him that life is not fair. Rollins and the Stooges leave.
Bryan addresses Kane next and asks what Dr. Shelby would think of him now. He removes him as Director of Operations and makes him Director of Food and Beverage. Instead of Corporate Kane, he is now Concessions Kane. They bring out a tray of popcorn and other snacks for him to sell.
As for Rusev, Bryan thinks he should be more patriotic. He gives him a choice to compete in a Battle Royal with every other WWE Superstar for his United States Championship, or come to the ring with a big U.S. flag in the background and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Rusev and Lana yell at him and leave.
Luke Harper is next, and Bryan books him in an Intercontinental Championship match with Dean Ambrose.
Mark Henry is last, and Bryan says Ryback wants revenge for his WrestleMania 29 loss, so the two will face off right now. Ryback rushes out and the two start to brawl in the aisle. Ryback wins the match after the Meathook Clothesline.
Backstage, The Authority is leaving the arena when they come upon Vince McMahon. Stephanie apologizes for letting him down, and Vince says he is not angry, just disappointed that they could not overcome the insurmountable odds they put in front of him. He tells them they will fix this somehow. Stephanie again says she's sorry, and Vince says he's never been sorry about anything in his life. The only thing he's sorry about now is that he has to spend Thanksgiving with the two of them. They all leave in the limo.
Dean Ambrose defeats Luke Harper by disqualification when Harper shoves Ambrose into the referee. An upset Ambrose grabs a steel chair and plants him with Dirty Deeds on the chair. The crowd chants for tables but Ambrose grabs a ladder first. He then gets a table, but Bray Wyatt ambushes him and hits him with Sister Abigail outside the ring. He throws Ambrose over the announce table and tears it apart. He piles chairs on top of Ambrose and poses on top of the table.
Santino Marella and Larry The Cable Guy comes out to promote Jingle All the Way 2. They make a bunch of terrible jokes and the crowd hates it all. Goldust and Stardust come out and chase them away. The Miz and Damien Mizdow come out and, as many expected, Miz carries both Tag Team Championship belts while Mizdow has two toy replica belts. Miz and Mizdow retain the titles after Mizdow does all the work and Miz tags himself in to get the pin.
Backstage, a concession manager puts Kane in charge of chips and gets right in his face. She gives him an apron, and Kane looks like he wants to rip someone in half.
Rusev and Lana are in the ring and Lana says this decision is not fair. Rusev says he does not care who's in charge. He will not be brainwashed by America. Bryan appears on the TitanTron and reminds him he must have the Battle Royal if he chooses not to say the pledge. Bryan gives him one more chance and says he will send out someone to supervise.
That man is Sgt. Slaughter. Sarge has the American flag drop and tries to get them to say the pledge. Lana starts to do it softly and Sarge makes her speak louder. Rusev stops her and tells her to leave the ring. Rusev confronts Sarge, who prepares to fight. Jack Swagger runs out with Zeb Colter but Rusev quickly gets the upper hand. Swagger recovers and puts Rusev in the Patriot Lock, but he escapes and they retreat. The three men do the "We The People" chant in the ring.
Fandango defeats Justin Gabriel.
Big Show comes out to the ring and says he wants to make sure everyone is cool with him. Show says he's not a bad guy, but he is a human being that made a mistake. He says he still despises The Authority for what they did to him last year. Show says he is a giant physically but he's just like everyone else emotionally. He claims he panicked last night and decided to turn on his team.
He asks for forgiveness but the crowd won't give it to him. He says he has heard the whispers online and in the back and if any of the cowards in the back have something to say to him, then they should come out and say it to his face. Erick Rowan comes out. Show calls him Upside Down Sheamus and says it's ridiculous that he came out here. Rowan grabs the mic and says he does not like bullies. He lays out the giant, who rolls out of the ring.
Rollins is backstage and J&J Security tries to hype him up, but Rollins says they don't measure up to the other partner choices. Ziggler comes in and says he asked all of his Twitter followers to vote for Noble and Mercury.
Brie Bella is out for a match and new Divas Champion Nikki Bella is with her. AJ Lee comes out and sarcastically congratulates Nikki for winning last night. She says Brie proved last night that she is an even bigger skank than her sister. Brie pins AJ after Nikki gets in a cheap shot on AJ's arm. AJ grabs the microphone again and says it takes two Bella Twins to be the champion, but the two of them are not half the woman she is. AJ says it's about time somebody breaks it to the Bellas that talent is not sexually transmitted.
Tyson Kidd and Natalya defeat Adam Rose and The Bunny with Santino and Larry the Cable Guy at ringside. The Bunny accidentally grabs Rose's foot, which allows Tyson to roll him up for the pin.
Renee Young interviews Ryback backstage and congratulates him on beating Mark Henry earlier. He says it's almost Thanksgiving and The Big Guy is hungry, so he asks for a good concessions stand. After a commercial break, Ryback visits Kane's concession stand and asks for two cans of tuna fish, a protein shake and a bag of beef jerky. Kane throws a hot dog at him, so Ryback destroys the concession stand.
Renee interviews Cena and Ziggler, and Cena praises Ziggler for beating The Authority last night. Ziggler says he was going to win no matter what it took, but they needed a miracle to win, and that miracle came in the form of Sting. Cena celebrates The Authority's demise and Daniel Bryan's running the show. He says he and Ziggler are about to go steal the show.
Cena and Ziggler come out for their match. Daniel Bryan comes out and introduces Seth Rollins. Bryan reveals the fans' vote, and J&J Security win in a landslide with 93% of the vote. They come out in their suits ready to fight.
Cena and Ziggler each hit their finishers on Mercury and Noble to win the match. Bryan tosses Rollins back in the ring and Cena hits him with the Attitude Adjustment. The three faces celebrate in the ring, but the sound of the Anonymous Raw General Manager comes over the speakers. Michael Cole gets up to read the message, which says the GM comes back next week. The sound plays as the show goes off the air.
