WWE Monday Night RAW results from 3/13/17

Here are the results from tonight’s (Mon. March 13, 2017) episode of WWE Monday Night RAW (courtesy of PWInsider):

 


 

We are in Detroit, Michigan and your announcers are Michael Cole, Corey Graves, and Byron Saxton.

Brock Lesnar’s music plays and he does the Brock Bounce on the stage with Paul Heyman followed by the Lesnar Leap into the ring.

Paul gets on his knees and he wonders if it is a vision or an advocate’s fantasy.  Did Brock Lesnar F-5 the seemingly indestructible Goldberg?  Yes, he did.  The result was DOWN GOES GOLDBERG.

Paul introduces himself and he says not only can he see the future, but that vision has been bestowed on each and every one of you courtesy of the Goldberg eating carnivore Brock Lesnar.  What is that vision and what is that future?  That future takes place on April 2, 2017.  It is the night his client BROCK LESNAR causes those so called announcers to scream at the top of their lungs “DOWN GOES GOLDBERG!!”  

Paul says he has to confess that for the past few months . . . 

Paul hears the chants for Goldberg, and he says that Goldberg . . . is not here, but his client is here so Paul asks for everyone to listen to his advocate.  Paul says that is the polite way to tell all of the people chanting for Goldberg to shut up.

Paul says they have been wondering what do they do because of the problems they have had with Goldberg.  Each time they have met face to face, the result has been Spear . . . Jackhammer . . . Goldberg.  Not last week.  Last week was a different story.  The story was F-5 . . . DOWN GOES GOLDBERG.  Not only did Goldberg go down at the hand of Brock Lesnar, he went down to the single most effective move in WWE History, the F-5 performed at the hand of Brock Lesnar.  Now that we have seen the footage to show about the future, the greatest comeback in Sports Entertainment history.  A comeback of biblical proportions shall be hoisted upon the shoulders of this beast and then slammed down to the mat by Brock Lesnar as the resurrection of Goldberg will be put down.  Paul says his vision of the future will be validated.

Paul says Wrestlemania Theory of Relativity Goes F-5 = Lesnar goes up . . . DOWN GOES GOLDBERG.

Mick Foley is in his office and Stephanie enters.  Stephanie says Paul is so creepy and she likes that she can make Mick laugh due to the tension between them.  We are only three weeks away and tempers are short.

Mick says people say the wrong things.

Stephanie says that people say things that you cannot take personally.  In the heat of the moment, there is pressure on you.  She says she brought in Mick to be General Manager because of his connection to the WWE Universe and the Superstars.  Stephanie says as Mick’s manager, she has tried to nurture him.  Tough love has not worked.  She wants to apply everything that she has learned and she is willing to teach him.

Stephanie asks if Mick is in because she has his first lesson.  Stephanie tells Mick to determine the one person on the roster that he is going to fire.  He needs to trim the fat and it will send the message to everyone to be more productive.

Kevin stands in the ring with his spotlight.  Kevin says one month ago today, he took the spotlight and he put it back right where it belongs.  We have a video package.

Kevin says a lot of you people are very upset with him for doing that and betraying Chris Jericho.  You are upset because Kevin pretended to be Chris’ best friend for months.  Kevin says he was never Chris’ best friend.  Chris Jericho never, for one second, truly considered him to be his best friend.  Chris was getting close to Kevin so he could get close to MY Universal Title.  Chris is mad, not because Kevin betrayed him.  It was because Kevin did what everyone else would have done.  He stabbed Chris in the back before Chris could stab him in the back.

Now Chris wants his revenge.  Chris got him at Fastlane.  Chris Jericho beat him at Fastlane, not Goldberg.  At Wrestlemania, Chris thinks he will get the greatest payback at Wrestlemania, but that just means Chris is dumber than he thinks.  Kevin says he will take Chris’ title at Wrestlemania.  When he is done, the only think left of Y2J will be the Tears of Jericho . . . Cry it out man. As far as tonight goes, the only thing Chris Jericho and that waste of space partner of his, Sami Zayn is going to get is a lesson.

Mick says he has the respect of the Raw superstars and he says they like and envy him.  Mick says he does not have to pretend to like Triple H.  He does not need Hunter or this company.  You may think he is a pathetic guy with a missing ear and missing teeth.

Hunter says that this works for Mick, but does he wonder how will his kids feel about that.  Hunter mentions Noelle and Dewey and how she wants to be a wrestler and he works in the office.  Maybe Mick will drive Dewey to the unemployment office.

Hunter asks Mick if that strikes a chord.  Hunter tells Mick that he needs to tuck his tail between his legs and waddle up that ramp.  You need to have an epiphany where you love and need your job.  When you run into Stephanie and she tells you to jump, you ask how high.
