Randy Orton returns to RAW and says he usually not the guy who cuts a long winded promo, but he needs to get something off of his chest. He says it’s The Authority and Seth Rollins’ fault that he’s been gone for four months, and there’s no more hiding, so Rollins had better get out there now. The Authority (minus Rollins) walks to the stage, and Stephanie welcomes him back, eventhough his return was at their expense. She says he did what he always does, and she wants him as the face of WWE, but Orton tells her to cut the crap because he isn’t forgiving Rollins for what he did. He says he’s going to cave Rollins’ head in, but Stephanie pleads with him to forgive everyone and come ‘home,’ and they only acted because they had to. Orton says he’d rather kick ass than kiss it, then Big Show says he understands all the anger, but he put it aside because joining The Authority was a great decision. Orton says it’s more like selling out if he rejoined them, then Stephanie says he’s not a good guy and he’s done some pretty sick things to get what he wants. She says some of the most vile things he’s done have been against her family and even herself, but she wants to move past it and get back on the same page.
Bad News Barrett vs Dolph Ziggler
Dolph hits Wade a few times before Wade applies a headlock, then he hangs Dolph up on the ropes and kicks him in the ribs. Dolph knocks Wade on the floor as we go to a break, then we get back to see Dolph connect with a DDT for a two count. Wade knocks Dolph down and calls for a Bullhammer, but Dolph ducks and rolls him up before attempting a Famouser. Wade hits him with Winds of Change off the ropes, then he goes for Wasteland but Dolph slams him into the ringpost and hits a Zig Zag for the win.
Winner – Dolph Ziggler
Dean Ambrose walks out with the Intercontinental Championship, and he taunts Wade with it before turning around to Dolph and bumping him in the shoulder.
BP: The match was pretty good, but I’m a little confused as to why R-Truth was at commentary or why he was trending. I know he beat Barrett last week, so all I can think is they will set up a multi-man title match with this. I’m OK with everyone involved getting a fair shot, and I welcome the IC title being defended at Wrestlemania again.
