Raw Results 11/15/10 - WWE Old School Show

Raw Results from Hershey, PA:

WWE Raw opened with an old-style WWF Monday Night Raw intro complete with the old theme music, but shots of the current Raw superstars mixed in for "Monday Night Raw Old School." Explosive fireworks and pyro went off from the ceiling. Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler were standing ringside for the vintage Raw. The ring was even done up like it used to be in the days of old WWF.

Justin Roberts, wearing an old tux and wig, introduced WWE Hall of Famer Mean Gene Okerlund. Mean Gene talked to Hall of Famer Cowboy Bob Orton, Jr. to kick off the show. Orton came out wearing his trademark cast. Gene tried to introduce Randy Orton, but his dad said Randy's not there at the arena yet, but he will be there shortly. Orton added that his son always has been able to deal with adversity. He started adding his own commentary about how he doesn't care about Cena's career, but that Orton's arm will be raised in victory. As Orton kept talking, Nexus leader Wade Barrett arrived out to interrupt the interview.

Barrett told Cowboy Orton that his predictions are as phony as the cast on his arm. Wade said he'll defeat Orton and do something Cowboy Bob never did, become WWE Champion. Barrett said the Old School WWE didn't pave his way, he got there through his own hard work. He noted that he didn't bring out The Nexus to beat Cowboy Orton to a pulp, is because he wants him conscious for Sunday's Survivor Series. Just then, The Miz arrived out along with Alex Riley.

Miz talked about cashing in his MITB contract, and how he just might do it tonight when Orton gets to the arena. Miz said that would change a lot, because Barrett and Orton wouldn't be competing for the WWE Title, and Cena would be stuck in Nexus forever. Cena showed up on the Titantron to tell Miz he won't be cashing in anything tonight. Cena told Barrett he's usually taking his orders, but tonight he's challenging The Miz in order to protect Barrett. Miz accepted the challenge for a match later on.

David Otunga was back in the locker room talking to the other Nexus guys. He said he almost was ex-communicated from Nexus but stepped it up on Smackdown on Friday. Otunga said it's time for one of them to step up now and deal with R-Truth since he's becoming a problem. Otunga started to say as the leader he thinks- but Wade Barrett arrived to interrupt, asking what he meant by he was leader. Otunga said he meant "as a leader from Nexus." Barrett told Otunga if anyone should deal with R-Truth, it's Otunga so he can do just that.

Just then, the lights flashed and an email came through. Cole got up to read the latest, which was from the Raw GM. It said Otunga won't fight Truth tonight, but instead Barrett will, to show he's truly championship material. Barrett smirked and said the GM raises a good point. Harris stepped forward and said Nexus will have his back. Wade thanked him, shooting a glance at Otunga, saying that's the sort of loyalty he expects. Barrett said he'll go out on his own though.

Cena showed up at the meeting with Barrett asking what he wants. Cena said a thanks for dealing with Miz would be nice, but Barrett said no way. He told Harris and McGillicutty to follow Cena out to the ring tonight to make sure Orton isn't involved. Cena said it wasn't needed because if Orton wants some, he can come get some.

John Cena vs. The Miz

They flashed back to last week's main event when Cena was guest ref for the Team Orton vs Team Nexus match. The Miz came in while Cena was distracted by Nexus on the outside. Miz grabbed Orton for skullcrushing finale as Riley hit him in the gut with the MITB case to help Miz hit the move. Barrett scored the winning pinfall on Orton, with Cena counting the victory.

Miz brought out a mic with him to the ramp, saying Cena always thinks he's one step ahead of him. Miz said the Raw GM never sanctioned their match, so he's making a substitution if the GM doesn't object. No emails came through, so Miz said Alex Riley will take his place in the match.

Riley had control for a good part of the match, until Cena flipped him to gain some momentum. Cena hit multiple takedowns, then went for the Five Knuckle Shuffle, directing the You Can't C Me at Miz. Cena hoisted up Riley for the Attitude Adjustment. He hit it, then put Riley into the STF to make him tap right in front of Miz.

Orton tore off his shirt ready to go with Cena. The two superstars stared down one another, then Cena started to take swings at Orton. Several referees rushed into the ring to pull them apart, as did several WWE officials in suits.

Just then, an email from the Raw GM came through. Cole read it off that it's obvious Cena and Orton have issues they need to work out prior to Survivor Series. The Raw GM said they'll both get in the ring later- as guests on Piper's Pit.

Piper's Pit with Roddy Piper

Piper introduced his first guest, John Cena. Cena got a mic and was ready to talk, when Piper stopped him. Piper said he's been a fan of Cena's for a long time. Piper said he competed for over 30 years and was never a WWE Champion. Piper said many other WWE Legends and Hall of Famers never were WWE Champion. Piper told Cena if he helps Barrett win the WWE Title, then he's spitting in the faces of all those WWE Legends he says he respects.

Cena answered back saying he's been hearing "Free or Get Fired" for weeks now. Cena said he's been working as hard as he possibly can to respect the legends. Cena said he looked up to them all as his heroes. Cena said if he hands over the WWE Title all his hard work as a wrestler will be down the drain. Cena said he's going to call the match down the middle. Piper was happy to hear it, but that brought out Nexus leader Wade Barrett.

Barrett said he proved tonight he can beat anyone on the Raw roster without Cena's help. Wade reminded Cena if he doesn't win the WWE Title, all of Cena's moments of glory will be over with WWE. Piper got in Barrett's face telling him if he lets Cena hand him the WWE Title, he'll be the biggest joke ever. Barrett said he realized something earlier tonight, this could be Cena's final Raw ever, and will be his final Raw as part of Nexus. Barrett said he wants to do something tonight that he should have done weeks ago. He pulled out a Nexus T-shirt and told Cena to put it on. Barrett told Cena if he doesn't put it on now he's fired on the spot.

Cena obliged and put his Nexus shirt on. Cena asked Barrett if he's happy now. Cena said win or lose Sunday, when the match is over he's going to make Barrett's face into mush. Barrett said Nexus is banned from ringside but once the bell rings, they'll hit the ring to neutralize any threats. Just then, Randy Orton arrived from backstage.

Orton eyed Cena and Barrett. He stared down Cena and got on the mic saying he thought about punt kicking Cena earlier, but thought of another option. Orton turned and attacked Barrett, knocking him down to the mat. The Viper got down pounding the mat getting ready for the RKO, but Cena walked in front of Barrett to block his attempts. Orton got up and dropped Cena with the RKO. He set up for the punt kick, but Barrett came at him. Orton tossed Barrett out of the ring, then went for the punt kick on Cena. Cena was quick to avoid it and then hit the Attitude Adjustment on Orton. Barrett got back into the ring smiling then ordered Cena to raise his arm in victory. Cena pretended he was going to, but instead picked up Barrett and hit the Attitude Adjustment to slam him down.

Raw ended after Cena left the ring and headed up the ramp where Piper raised Cena's arm. Barrett and Orton were still down in the ring from Cena's finisher.
