Results by: Mike Tedesco of Wrestleview.com

“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.

The Raw video plays, and we go into the arena to see a big pyrotechnics display. Beth Phoenix will give a medical update on her husband, Edge, later tonight. Seth Rollins and Murphy will defend the Raw Tag Team Championship against the Street Profits in a “Now or Never” match. AJ Styles battles Aleister Black, and Shayna Baszler will battle Kairi Sane.

WWE Champion Brock Lesnar makes his way to the ring alongside Paul Heyman. Lesnar will face Drew McIntyre with the WWE Championship on the line in four weeks at WrestleMania.

Heyman says, “Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and I am the advocate for the reigning, defending, undisputed WWE Heavyweight Champion of the World, Brock Lesnar!” Lesnar looks absolutely pumped up. Heyman says he can’t do it. It’s their job to come out and hype the people on WrestleMania. Although he’ll give credit where credit is due, almost top to bottom, this is the most stacked WrestleMania lineup in decades. The main event of WrestleMania is a sham. The crowd boos. Heyman says they can sit there like Pavlovian Dogs all they want. They know it, Lesnar knows it, and Heyman knows it.

They want to sell you on Drew McIntyre — McIntyre’s name gets a big reaction. Heyman says McIntyre is a hyped up fraud. The crowd loudly boos. Lesnar didn’t just survive 15 top stars in WWE. Lesnar massacred 15 top stars in WWE only to get hit from behind in the testicles by Ricochet, leaving Lesnar vulnerable to Drew McIntyre to kick him in the face and knock him out of the Royal Rumble match. What makes you think that proves McIntyre can pin Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania? He can’t! All it does is show McIntyre can take advantage of a momentary situation. The next time Lesnar lays eyes and hands on McIntyre, it’s over. Do you want to know why? Drew McIntyre is nothing more than a stupid big bitch that’s going to get squashed…

Drew McIntyre’s music hits to a big ovation. McIntyre gets in Lesnar’s face. Lesnar backs up and says to wait until WrestleMania. Lesnar tries to blindside him, but McIntyre lays him out with a Claymore Kick! McIntyre kips up, and the crowd roars! Heyman is stunned. McIntyre walks off.

Lesnar soon comes to and is stumbling. The crowd chants, “You deserve it.” Lesnar looks infuriated as he grabs the WWE Championship. Lesnar stands at ringside, and the crowd sings, “Kiss Him Goodbye!” Lesnar is absolutely incensed as he goes up the ramp. McIntyre then blindsides him with a Claymore Kick on the stage to a huge ovation! McIntyre grabs the WWE Championship and holds it up. The crowd chants, “One more time!” McIntyre obliges and crushes Lesnar with a third Claymore Kick! The crowd is going wild and chants for McIntyre. McIntyre points at the WrestleMania sign.

Beth Phoenix gives a medical update on Edge

Beth Phoenix makes her way to the ring. Phoenix appreciates this time on Monday Night Raw. She’s here to give a medical update on her husband, Edge.

Randy Orton’s music immediately hits, and he comes out to the ring. Orton goes for a hug, but Phoenix denies him. Orton extends his hand, but Phoenix says, “You think I would give you a hug or shake your hand after what you did to my husband, you son of a bitch?” Orton backs up and then sits on the top turnbuckle. Phoenix says she’s not surprised. She thought she might see him here tonight. If anyone here needs to hear this, it’s Orton. She is here as the wife because she needs her husband. She is here as a mother because her children deserve their father.

Orton gets down from the top rope and approaches her before circling around her. Orton says it is a certainty that after what he did to Edge that Edge will never wrestle again. Orton says he owes Phoenix an explanation and will give her one… but he doens’t know how to say it. Orton wants to start with a story. Back in 1999, WWE had a live event in St. Louis, which is where he lived. His father, “Cowboy” Bob Orton, took him downtown to introduce him to some WWE agents Jack Lanza and Tony Garea. Orton wanted to break his son into the business. At this point, he was a fan. Orton was backstage and to see the likes of Austin, Triple H, Foley, The Rock, Davey Boy Smith… the one that came up to pay respect to his father was Edge. It made Orton so proud to see someone respect his father. Then his father introduced him to Edge and explained his son was trying to break into the business. Edge shook his hand and wished him luck before saying they could maybe work in the ring one day. Orton never forgot that. It motivated him and gave him confidence. A few years later, they were battling all over the world for the Intercontinental Championship and stealing the show. Then they formed Rated RKO and became Tag Team Champions. Just as they were flying as high as they could, Orton flew too close to the sun and hit a rough patch. Orton made bad life choices and dug a hole so deep he should have been buried by it. Edge pulled him out of the hole and saved his life. Edge made him realize there’s more to life. Orton has been with his children to teach them life lessons.

Orton saved Edge’s life. At the Royal Rumble, the reaction Edge got gave him goosebumps. It wasn’t a one-off. The next night, Orton realized that Edge thought he was back for good and could start competing. Orton knew better and knew someone like him could put Edge in a wheelchair. Orton wanted Lyric and Ruby to have a father. Thanks to him, Edge can be their father and be Beth’s husband. Edge can be there for them because of him. Orton did it because he loves Edge, he loves Beth, and loves their two little girls. Beth is crying.

The sad truth is everyone blames him for what he did to Edge. Beth knows deep down in her heart that it isn’t Orton’s fault. It’s Beth’s fault. Beth is an enabler. If Edge was a drug addict, she wouldn’t give him drugs. Edge is a junkie for the roar of the crowd, and she did nothing to stop him. Orton stepped in because he loves Edge like a brother. Orton did what he could to make sure Edge can be a husband and a father to Lyric and Ruby. Orton says when he says it out loud, he realizes something. Orton loves Lyric and Ruby and Edge more than Beth ever could. Beth shakes her head with tears in her eyes. Orton says, “Truth hurts, don’t it?” Beth angrily looks at Orton and slaps him.

Orton angrily throws the microphone down and tries to hold back his fury. Orton looks Beth Phoenix in the eye and stares a hole through her. Orton mouths, “You bitch.” Phoenix kicks him, so Orton drops her with an RKO! Orton immediately leaves the ring and goes up the ramp.

Referee and trainers run down to help. The commentators talk about what they just saw. Byron Saxton says Orton is a “son of a bitch.” Some wrestlers run down to help Beth get up. Beth is holding her neck.
