RAW 6/30/14 (Hulu edition)

1. Hunter and Steffi come out to open RAW. They call out Cena. Cena interrupts them and says that he'll give Daniel Bryan a shot even though the Authority won't. Steffi reveals that Cena is the covergirl of the WWE2k15 video game. Cena says they're being too nice after how upset they were when he won and Orton didn't. Hunter demands respect from Cena after making fun of Cena's thug past. He says things can be easy or hard. Cena responds that if easy means being their stooge, he'll do it the hard way. Hunter says that the hard way is defending the titles in a fatal four-way match at Battleground. He'll be facing Orton, Kane, and his teammate for tonight against those two, who is Roman Reigns. And if he survives that at Battleground, there's always a plan B...and that brings out Seth Rollins.
2. Someone eventually will throw down the Authority. But I don't see it being Cena who does it. Maybe there will be stable formed to oppose the Authority.
3. Seth Rollins (Mr. MitB) v. RVD. Rollins will win an exciting match with a good number of high spots.
4. RVD pulls out the abdominal stretch? Wow. The 80s called, and they want their move back.
5. Rollins had RVD up for a powerbomb, and Rollins managed to throw him into the turnbuckle with his legs! And then he jumped off the top rope and hit him on the floor. Mr. Monday Nights strikes again!
6. Rollins catches him in the ropes and then hits RVD with Curb Stomp for the win. And then he calls Renee Young "Toots." Nice.
7. Ambrose is on the tron. He promises that Seth won't ever be able to cash in that briefcase because Ambrose will haunt him. The briefcase is loaded with TNT and it will blow up every time he tries to cash in! Great promo!
8. Sheamus and the Usos face the Wyatts next. Does anyone remember the last time Sheamus defended his title? Anyway, this will be a very physical match, and I believe the Wyatts will win to keep this feud going.
9. Harper hit Sheamus with a brutal kick that resembled a Brogue more than a little. Wow. And then later a superkick! Sheamus is going to be seeing leprechauns!
10. Harper hits a massive clothesline (one even JBL would have to appreciate) on Jey for the win in a brutal, excellent match.
11. Steffi makes Nikki Bella v. the Funkadactyls in a handicap match. Obviously Nikki's going to lose, but I'm guessing there will be conflict.
12. Really? Bo(ring) Dallas does a moment of silence for Bad News Barrett and Daniel Bryan. *sigh* Can we have a moment of silence for him? And have someone knock him out so there's a reason for it? I love that Daniel Bryan called him a Bo...Ner.
13. Did Nikki have even more work done? She put up a good fight, but Naomi (who does a better splash than Tamina) pins her. And then the 'Dactyls fight. Time for a breakup?
14. And now returning...the Miz. *sigh* And he's back as his heel persona. *sigh*
15. But after too much talking, he's interrupted by...Y2J! He hits the Codebreaker! Is he back to feud with and put Miz over? I could see that, I guess. Wow, he looks pretty good, although his face is starting to show his age. Anyway, RAW really *is* Jericho!
16. ...Until the Wyatt family kicks his ass. I don't know how long Jericho is back, but while he's here, he'll do a good job putting someone over with a nice rub. Looks like it will be Bray. Good stuff! Jericho can come back whenever he wants, if I have anything to say about it. And I don't.
17. Fandango v. Dolph Ziggler. If they have time, this should be a really good match. I don't think they'll get much, but they'll make the most of it. Ziggler should win, but they're both jobbers now, so we'll see.
18. Summer Rae walked in and kissed Ziggler. That was unexpected. Wow. And Fandango got upset.
19. Ziggler hits the ZigZag off the distraction for the win. Summer walks away, and Layla looks upset.
20. Paige comes out to celebrate her MitB win. This is sounding like a heel promo.
21. And she's interrupted by the returning AJ! Yes!!! The time off looks like it's been good to her. Paige don't look happy.
22. AJ goads Paige into a title match, and after Paige hits a bunch of offense, AJ rolls her up for a quick victory and becomes the NEW DIVAS CHAMPION!! Oh, I hope this leads to a feud. These two have the goods to light up a show and maybe even eventually main event RAW. I love Paige, but she can't fix the Diva division alone. And neither could AJ.
23. Main event: Orton and Kane v. Cena and Reigns. I expect a good match, and I think...Reigns gets the pin? Or do we see Cena get a DQ win and Rollins come to collect?
24. Reigns and Kane are throwing bombs!
25. Does anyone (except maybe Ziggler) throw a dropkick as pretty as Orton?
26. Orton, the illegal man, hits Cena with an RKO. Reigns sends him out and hits Jane with a Superman punch. Kane hits Cena with steps for the DQ. Hunter at ringside tells Kane to finish Cena. Kane hits the Tombstone. Doctors come to check Cena.
27. Here comes Rollins to cash in!   The ref doesn't want it, but goes to make it happen. But before it's official, Ambrose comes in and drives off Rollins!
28. Kane goes to kill Cena with a chair, but Reigns spears Kane!!! We go off the air with Reigns staring down Hunter and the crowd chanting "This is awesome!" And it was!

Not on hulu:
1. No encounter between the Real Americans and Rusev. Sad. This could be huge!!! Face turn for Swagger?!?
2. No announcement of Royal Rumble for Background.
3. No Cesaro v. Kingston. I hear Kofi won during the commercial.
4. No Khali v. Sandow. Glad I missed a Sandow loss. Even gladder to miss Khali.
5. No Dusts v. AxelBack. *sigh*

I really enjoyed that show. Some great matches, lots if storyline builds for the next few months. Good to have Y2J back! Great to have AJ back!
