WWE Raw Results (10/14/13) St. Louis, Missouri

Welcome to WWE Monday Night Raw. Raw this week comes to us live from St. Louis, Missouri and we kick things off with Justin Roberts introducing Shawn Michaels. Michaels comes out to the ring and takes the mic and thanks everyone who voted for him on the WWE App last week. He says it’s nice that people haven’t forgotten him. He knows everyone’s concerned about his personal feelings concerning the participants in Hell In A Cell. Michaels says many moons ago he trained Daniel Bryan and he’s always liked Bryan and always hated Randy Orton and Triple H is still his friend. This isn’t about him though. It’s about the two participants and he respects them both and respects Hell In A Cell. He says he’s been inside the cell, outside the cell and on top of the cell and he’s glad to be retired. He’s here because what happened at Battleground was a crock and at Hell In A Cell there will be a winner and one man will walk out as WWE Champion. Randy Orton comes out. Orton says he’s got a match next against Miz so he’s going to make this quick. Orton says Michaels has everyone convinced and fills Michaels in on a little secret saying he was born and raised in St. Louis and knows the people  better than anybody else and they’re not that bright. Orton says he can see right through Michaelds. It’s not that Michaels likes him, it’s that he can’t stand the fact that Orton is better than him. Michaels says Orton needs to worry about Daniel Bryan. Orton says he’s going to hurt Bryan and Michaels is going to have to stand there and watch, and count to three and raise Orton’s hand. Orton says Michaels knows all about screwjobs and if Michaels does anything to screw things up for Orton there’ll be no coming back from what Orton does to him. Michaels says Orton’s not going to intimidate him and if he tries something Michaels is going to knock Orton’s head off his shoulders. Michaels turns around and Orton goes to deliver an RKO but Michaels lays him out with Sweet Chin Music. Orton slides out of the ring and Miz runs down and attacks Orton as officials try to separate Miz and Orton

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon come out to the ring. Stephanie said last week on Raw she learned a very valuable lesson. Not to let her kindness be mistaken for weakness. She said her and Triple H bailed out Big Show more times than they can remember and they get repaid with disrespect and insubordination. Last week, after Show was fired he came down and knocked out Triple H. She tells the fans to cheer for him because he’s now fired and they’re going to sell his house. And says let this be a lesson to all WWE Superstars that insolence will not be tolerated. Michael Cole reported on WWE.com that Triple H had to have his mouth wired shout. He is a 13 time World Champion, the King Of Kings and The Game. All names he’s earned and he ruled the Attitude Era with an iron fist and with her full support Triple H is now WWE. Triple H says rumours of his demise were greatly exaggerated and he’s been COO for two years and surprisingly he did it for all the fans and while he’s had to put up with walk outs and insubordination even he has his breaking point. Last week, he was knocked out and the fans were all cheering yes. And if fans want him to the bad guy, he’ll be the bad guy and give them something they’ve never seen before. Anyone who defies their authority will fight to keep their job and anyone who utters the word yes had better start to pray. Daniel Bryan walks out to a loud chant of ‘YES’. Alberto Del Rio attacks Bryan from behind.  Stephanie then says Daniel Bryan’s opponent tonight will be Alberto Del Rio and mockingly chants ‘YES’ as the crowd begins chanting ‘NO’
