We...are...LIVE! OMAHA!
Randy Orton opens tonight’s show to rundown his match at the Elimination Chamber. The crowd launches into a thunderous CM Punk chant. It’s going to be a long night for these guys. Randy talks over the crowd and finally is able to have them focus on his promo. He talks about the other five men in the Chamber and asks how many times does he have to beat them because he has beaten them all. After the Chamber he will go onto Wrestlemania and defeat Batista. Randy Orton is the greatest attraction on RAW.
Enter The McMahon-Helmsley Faction and the crowd let’s them know who they want to see. Stephanie wants Randy Orton to calm down and says to relax. Stephanie thinks he is paranoid about his position. The champ should look around and be happy about what he has. Trips takes the mic, says Orton is saying a lot of things he never thought he’d hear Randy say but maybe Randy Orton isn’t in fact the guy to be “the face” of the WWE. Stephanie takes the mic, she can’t believe it either, but tonight, should his opponeant tonight comes out victorious, maybe this man needs some backing from the Authority. Tonight, Randy Orton goes one-on-one against Daniel Bryan. YES chants all around.

Steel Cage Match: WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP- New Age Outlaws (c) Vs. Rhodes Bros.
- Betty White announced for RAW Next Week, remember that gimmick?. Nice old school opening for the WWE Tag Titles. The cage door looks massive. Looks like its gonna be Tag Team Cage, with 2 guys in and 2 guys out. Pinfall only ofc, I suppose thats because Billy & Road Dogg & Goldust can't climb well.
Goldust picks it up with Road Dogg, with some slight comedy spots wondering why he's in here before Billy tags in, who takes off his top and reveals his 50+ year old body. Cody makes the tag, with a quick double team, arm wringer. Billy gets the reversal, but Cody reverses the irish whip into a 2 count.
Billy headlocks Cody, Cody gets the quick roll up, for another 2 count. Slow match, Cody tries to get the crowd pumped up. Billy targets the arm more, as does Road Dogg on the tag... and then the CM Punk chants start up, Cole quickly goes into the format about whats happening tonight.
NAO continue to work the arm of Cody, Cody gets the reversal eventually with the clothesline, who then goes for RD's arm. Decent psychology going on. Goldust gets the tag, with more of the same, working the arm of RD. Interestingly no one has really used the cage yet.

Road Dogg tries to chase after him and Cody kicks him down. Cody all the way up. He levels himself ontop of the cage, Road Dogg stands up and MOONSAULT OFF THE CAGE!! Looks like Cody might've landed on his hand, as he struggles to get to his feet, Billy Gunn is in with the Fame-Asser, pin, and retaining the titles for the NAO!
