Monday Night Raw Results – February 7, 2011 from Milwaukee, WI. |
Michael Cole and Scott Stanford welcome us to the show, announcing that John Cena and Randy Orton will join forces to take on all 3 members of Nexus for a spot in the Elimination Chamber match! If Nexus win, Wade earns a spot in the match but if Cena and Orton win, then Cena will earn a spot!
1) Sheamus defeats Daniel Bryan[/color] to qualify for the 2011 Elimination Chamber match.
Daniel Bryan continues his string of great matches as he meshed well with Sheamus’ brute style. Bryan played his role well as he attempted to cut down the tree that is Sheamus with some continuous attacks to the legs. He then had to be Sheamus’ rag doll, when the former WWE Champion got on the offensive. Bryan ducked the Brogue Kick and went to lock in the LeBelle Lock, but he could only get Sheamus to his knees. Sheamus used his power to lift Bryan up and broke the hold. He followed that with a Brogue Kick to gain victory.
As Sheamus left up the ramp, CM Punk’s theme hits as the “Straight Edge Savior” comes out. He passes Sheamus without looking at him and enters the ring. He gets a microphone and tells Daniel Bryan to get up. Bryan stirs and gets most of the way up, using the ropes to help himself. Punk says that he has been watching Bryan and targeting him. Most people don’t know this, but Daniel Bryan claims that he also lives the straight edge lifestyle. Unlike Punk though, Bryan doesn’t believe in preaching it and showing everyone else that it’s the best way to live life. He knows that people who are straight edge should know they’re better than everyone else, which is something Bryan doesn’t do. Punk questions the legitimacy of Bryan being straight edge. He says that he’s now made it his mission to prove that he is the only true straight edge superstar. He will prove that Bryan is not straight edge. But first, he will take the United States Championship. He challenges Bryan to a US Title match at Elimination Chamber. Bryan nods in acceptance, only to be hit with a Go to Sleep from Punk.

Maryse and Ted DiBiase are backstage and she is complaining to him about how much he loses. Maryse tells him that this will be their week as she will go on to beat Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox and Eve and then this Thursday on Superstars Ted will beat R-Truth. Maryse tells Ted to stay in the back and watch how to win a match as she heads off to the ring.
2)
Nikki Bella[/color] (with
Brie Bella[/color]) defeated
Maryse,
Eve and
Alicia Fox to earn a future Diva's Championship match.
This was your basic Divas match, as it wasn’t given much time, and Alicia Fox and Eve were sloppy. Nikki Bella meanwhile, was very impressive with her new aggressive heel style. Eve, who had the crowd behind her, missed a Moonsault on Nikki, who went on to rake Eve's eyes and connect with a Facebuster to get the 1-2-3 and earn herself a Diva's Championship match against Natalya at Elimination Chamber!
Nikki celebrates in the ring as Brie isn't happy with her sister's heelish antics. Diva's Champion, Natalya appears at the top of the ramp as Nikki motions she's coming for the strap.

Triple H comes to the ring to kick the first hour off. Once in the ring, Triple H takes a microphone and he begins to talk about how he does not have an Elimination Chamber qualifying match. After talking about returning the Royal Rumble and his recently re-ignited feud with Sheamus, the music of the WWE Champion cuts off Triple H as The Miz emerges from the back with Alex Riley right behind him as always. Miz tells Triple H the reason he does not have a qualifying match is because his time has been and gone and that the WWE Universe are here to bask in the ambiance that is the Era of Awesome! Triple H tells The Miz that he's been winning championships long before Miz was even on some punky reality series on MTV. The Miz is livid and he shows this by yelling in the face of Triple H that he could beat him anytime, any place. The Raw General Manager, John Bradshaw Layfield, appears on the TitanTron and informs Miz and HHH that it just so happens that there is no main event set for the show tonight and he see's a perfect opportunity right before him. Layfield books Triple H vs. The Miz with the stipulation that if Triple H can defeat The Miz, he will qualify for the Elimination Chamber match in 6 days at Elimination Chamber on PPV! The Miz freaks out as Triple H grins at the announcement.

3)
John Cena and
Randy Orton defeated
Nexus (
Wade Barrett,
Husky Harris and
Michael McGillicutty) to qualify for the 2011 Elimination Chamber match.
With a spot in the Elimination Chamber match hanging in the balance here for either Wade Barrett or John Cena, both teams fought tooth and nail to try and win the match. The Nexus dominated Orton in the early going and frequent tags kept all members of the trio fresh. With members departing Nexus in recent weeks, Harris, Wade and McGillicutty are the only remaining members and Harris and McGillicutty appeared to be as strong as ever but after being repeatedly yelled at by Wade, the duo began to go against what the 2011 Royal Rumble winner wanted. Wade eventually left Harris and Michael to fend for themselves as he left and walked up the ramp as Cena hit Harris with the Attitude Adjustment as Orton hit McGillicutty with the RKO and a simultaneous pin later and Cena was the latest Superstar to join the Elimination Chamber match this Sunday!
Orton and Cena celebrate with Orton telling Cena that he has him to thank for the spot in the Elimination Chamber match as Orton was unaware that Cena had pinned Husky simultaneously. Cena told Orton that he earned his own spot. Both men get into a shoving war that doesn't escalate into much as Orton ends up rolling out of the ring and shaking his head at Cena while grinning.

The Bella Twins are backstage arguing. Brie tells Nikki that she's been really nasty and different as of late. Nikki tells Brie that being nice has gotten them nowhere in the WWE and now look at her - she's the #1 contender for the Diva's Championship. Nikki tells Brie that she doesn't need her support as she walks off leaving Brie.
4)
John Morrison defeated
David Otunga to qualify for the 2011 Elimination Chamber match.
In our 3rd Elimination Chamber qualifier of the night as 2 of WWE's resident A-Listers went at it to earn a spot in the Chamber alongside John Cena, Randy Orton and Sheamus in the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship. Both men had control of the match numerous times but it would be JoMo who would fight back and get the better of Otunga and nail a wicked Starship Pain to rightfully earn his spot in the match!

Ashley Valence is backstage interviewing Triple H when Sheamus approaches him. Sheamus tells Triple H that if he makes it to Elimination Chamber this Sunday then he will hurt him and put him on the sidelines once again. Alex Riley appears from behind Triple H and clobbers him with the Money in the Bank briefcase! Sheamus joins in on the attack by clubbing away at Triple H, leaving him down and out after a Brogue Kick!
5)
Security Guard #1 and
Security Guard #2 defeated
Heath Slater and
Justin GabrielDespite the match actually being a good in-ring contest, the crowd couldn't have really cared less due to the fact the identities of JBL's Personal Security were hidden under riot helmets and the men being dubbed "Security Guard #1" and "Security Guard #2" didn't really help them get over anymore. Gabriel and Slater done whatever they could to get the crowd into the match but the Security Guard's repeatedly countered whatever the ex-Nexus members tried. Slater attempted a Crossbody but it was dodged and the Security Guard (#1, I believe) almost beheaded him with a Running Lariat for the pinfall victory!
The Security Guard's celebrate by simply standing tall in the ring. They remove their helmets to reveal that they are Skip Sheffield and Michael Tarver! Scott Stanford explains that the reason for the repeated move countering must have been due to Sheffield and Tarver knowing Gabriel and Slater well from their time in Nexus.
John Morrison meets The Miz in the back and he tells him that if he thinks sending Alex Riley to attack him with a metal briefcase will stop him on his quest for the WWE Championship then he sorely mistaken. JoMo says him and Miz have alot of history and he would take great privilege in ending The Miz's WWE Championship run. Miz doesn't reply until Morrison walks off, which is when he begins to mock what JoMo said in a high-pitched voice.
Commercial Break[/i]
In the back, Skip Sheffield and Michael Tarver are walking through the hallway and they seem amped up. They approach Michael McGillicutty and Husky Harris and brag to them about how they found a way to get back on Raw without being in Wade Barrett's spotlight. McGillicutty and Harris aren't amused as Skip and Tarver continue walking.

Triple H defeated
The Miz (with
Alex Riley) via Countout to qualify for the 2011 Elimination Chamber match.
The Miz faced one of his biggest challenges tonight in the form of the thirteen time World Champion, Triple H. He took it to The Miz right from the start and nailed him with his signature knee strikes. Miz rallied back and slowed the pace of the contest. Triple H took over behind the roar of the WWE Universe. He hooked the WWE Champion for the Pedigree, when A-Ri jumped onto the apron. Triple H dropped Miz and pulled Riley in the hard way and drilled him with a Spinebuster. Miz scurried out of the ring, grabbed the WWE Title and headed up the ramp. Triple H watched as the referee counted to ten, signaling that he had won via countout.
Triple H saw that Riley was getting up and planted him with a vicious Pedigree! Miz clutched his belt to his chest tightly as he is now scheduled to face Randy Orton, John Cena, Sheamus and Triple H at Elimination Chamber![/font]
