WWE Raw Results & Spoilers for May 6, 2014: The Shield Battles the Wyatts as Evolution Looks on
20-Man Over-the-Top-Rope match for the Dean Ambrose's United States Championship
Still angry from Sunday's defeat at the hands of The Shield, the show kicked off with United States Champion Dean Ambrose defending his title in a 20-Man Over-the-Top-Rope Battle Royal. Ambrose held on as long as he could, despite the odds, taking out Ryback and Jack Swagger late in the match but failing to watch out for Sheamus, who tossed Ambrose over the top rope to become the new champion. After the match, Triple H came out to the ring to inform The Shield they will be competing in the main event against the Wyatts.
Winner & new United States Champion: Sheamus
Rob Van Dam vs Cesaro (w/ Paul Heyman)
RVD -- no stranger to being a "Heyman Guy" -- took on Paul Heyman's newest client, Cesaro, on the heels of their Elimination Triple Threat match at Extreme Rules, hoping to earn a win and get the "Swiss Superman" off his back after weeks of causing problems for Van Dam, stemming from their participation in the Intercontinental Championship tournament. Van Dam earned the win, but only after Cesaro ignored the official's count and got himself disqualified pounding away at RVD while he was stuck in the Tree of Woe.
Winner: Rob Van Dam via disqualification
Cody Rhodes (w/ Goldust) vs Ryback (w/ Curtis Axel)
Despite eliminating his brother in the battle royal for Dean Ambrose's United States championship, earlier in the night, Goldust accompanied his sibling for his match against Ryback. Rhodes was climbing the top turnbuckle when he got caught in Ryback's Shell-Shock finisher after Goldust knocked Rhodes off his perch while brawling with Curtis Axel outside the ring, taking the loss for the Rhodes sibling in singles competition.
Winner: Ryback
Kofi Kingston vs Alexander Rusev (w/ Lana)
Kingston put up a good fight but Rusev's power proved to be too much, after Kingston got caught in midair attempting a Cross Flying Body-Press, and was slammed down hard a couple of times by the Bulgarian strongman before he ended the match with his Accolade finisher, forcing the former Intercontinental Champion to tap out.
Winner: Alexander Rusev via submission
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan (w/ Brie Bella) vs Alberto Del Rio (non-title match)
Despite coming off the heels of a very tough and physical match against Kane at Extreme Rules, Stephanie McMahon scheduled Bryan for a non-title bout against ADR. Bryan showed the heart of champion, defeating Del Rio by turning a Hurricanrana into a YES! Lock to get Del Rio to submit. After the match, Kane's music and pyro went off, causing Bryan to take off with his wife, Brie Bella, only to get jumped by Kane while they tried to escape in their car, eventually backing the "Big Red Monster" down long enough to leave the venue with his wife by his side.
Winner: Daniel Bryan via submission
WWE Intercontinental Champion "Bad News" Wade Barrett vs Big E (title match)
Barrett, who had to win a tournament to earn a right at a title shot, went to work right away after winning the Intercontinental Championship at Extreme Rules, battling the former champion in a rematch from Sunday night's bout against Big E. Barrett managed to reverse Big E's Big Endings finisher by raking the eyes of the former champion and hitting him with his Bull Hammer as he recovered to retain the Intercontinental Championship in his first title defense.
Winner and still champion: "Bad News" Wade Barrett
Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger went to the ring to discuss who in the WWE Universe they feel needs to be deported from the country -- starting with his nemesis and his former client, Cesaro and Paul Heyman -- before Colter was interrupted by Adam Rose and his Exotic Express. Swagger tried to attack Rose while he was in the ring but ended up eating a boot and getting tossed out of the ring as Rose and his "Rose Buds" celebrated in the ring.
Six-Man Tag Team match: The Wyatts vs The Shield
In what was a physically grueling match for The Shield, hours after putting their bodies on the line against Evolution, Roman Reigns had Bray Wyatt set up for the pin and the victory, after nailing him with a Superman Punch and setting him up for the Triple Power-bomb when Evolution made their way down to the ring. Erick Rowan and Luke Harper tried to sneak up on The Shield while they distracted Evolution, only to get tossed out the ring. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins then take out Harper, Rowan, Batista, and Randy Orton with a pair of Suicide Dives while Reigns Superman Punched Triple H before getting mowed down by Bray Wyatt, who hit The Shield's strongman with a Sister Abigail finisher to earn the victory. After the match, Evolution took advantage of the numbers disadvantage against The Shield and mauled the "Hounds of Justice," taking out Reigns with an RKO, a Pedrigree and a Triple Power-bomb to end the show.
Winner: The Wyatts
