3/11 WWE RAW Results – We are live from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, as Drew McIntyre makes his way to the ring.
Drew says selfish, delusional, arrogant, hypocritical junkie. Seth, you had to accept the tag match to get that fix. Drew calls him a junkie. Cody had sense to finish his story when he dropped him. You decided to channel me dropping you into your selfishness. Drew says you have to be glad he took care of CM Punk.
Drew says he tells the truth. Do you want to know what the bigger picture is? The crowd chants CM Punk, but that is not the answer. Drew says he expects a handwritten thank you note for keeping him relevant. The bigger picture is the Rock.
He says think about the history of this industry. We started in the carnivals, then we went to armories, and then to arenas to go to stadiums. The next evolution is working together with one of the strongest people in the world. Cody promised him a match and then Cody took it from him. Seth, everything does not revolve around you. When you realize that you aren’t bigger than wrestling, you might be a legend in your own mind. Drew says he is a champion you can believe in.
Seth Rollins’ music plays and Seth comes out and he tells Drew to shut his mouth. Seth says they will get to the singing, but Drew has been begging for his attention. Seth says he has good news for Drew. Now that the Night One main event is in the bag, he was thinking about the Claymore Drew gave him last week. You got part of his attention and you can get all of his attention with another one tonight.
Seth gets on his knees and takes off his sunglasses. Seth turns around since he says Drew is a coward.
Drew says before this gets any weirder, he wants to talk to Seth. He tells Seth to hear him. Drew says Seth was right. You are the one who told him before their last match that Drew has to get over the Bloodline and Drew does a bad Seth cackle. You were right. He went over the Bloodline. He wants to drop Jimmy and Solo, but he focused on the task at hand. He is doing it for that title and for Raw. Drew gave Seth the same advise and he begged and pleaded for Seth to take it but all Seth cares about is himself.
Seth tells Drew he is starting to remind him of someone. Seth says he knows Drew doesn’t like this guy. He has a lot of tattoos and he is from Chicago. Seth says Drew is starting to remind him of CM Punk. He says he thought Punk was the biggest hypocrite until he met Drew. For years and years, you have gone on and on about how the Bloodline screwed you and cost you titles and big matches. Now, you are looking to be an honorary member of the Bloodline.
Seth mentions that a few weeks ago Drew beat Cody, with help from the Bloodline. Last week, you beat Jey and could you do it without the Bloodline. You would like nothing more than the Bloodline help you beat him for the title. You want to be the People’s Champion’s Chosen One.
It ain’t gonna happen. Night One, he and Cody take down the Bloodline. Night Two, it is just them one-on-one. The same thing that is going to happen like any time the title was on the line. I am going to stomp on your head and pin your shoulders to the mat. Then you will hear the people singing his song.
Drew says he knows what Seth wants him to do. You want him to put you out of your misery. I have to face you at Wrestlemania and pin you. Drew says there is nothing that will provoke him.
Drew leaves the ring. Seth says the reason why he hasn’t paid attention to Drew on the Road to Wrestlemania. Of all of the threats on his list, you are at the very bottom of the list.
Drew turns around and returns to the ring but he stops short of getting on the apron.
Seth tells Drew to take his shot.
Drew storms to the back.

He is ready to run through a gauntlet of his demons to earn his date with destiny. His date with redemption. It is a rare chance to rewrite history and he will claim it to be a beacon for his fans and family to be proud of. He will endure. For him, this match just means more.

Rhea congratulates Becky. You beat Liv Morgan. Was it all worth it? Every week you seem to be getting into these fights and leave everything in the ring. Every week, we get closer to Wrestlemania. That is what you are about. Anyone and anywhere. You said you do it for these people and your family. Rhea says she knows the real reason. You say you need to prove to yourself that you are the best. Deep down, you know that Rhea is better than you. That is why you accept these matches going into Wrestlemania. You want an excuse when you don’t win. If you are not at 100% going into Wrestlemania, you will no longer be the man. You will be a disappointment.
Becky says before the Royal Rumble, she says she looked Rhea in the eye and said that you might be better. That seed of doubt has grown into a tree and wraps around the world. When people believe in her, she is good. When people doubt her, she is great. Becky tells Rhea if it has to be her against the whole world, the whole world doesn’t stand a chance.

Cole asks Cody what does he want to talk about. He mentions how Rock trumpeted the fact that he is on the Board of Directors and if he doesn’t get the job done at Wrestlemania, he will never get a title match again. Cole asks why did he slap the Rock.
Cody says he knows Rock says he is his boss and Cody isn’t sure about that. If it is true, Cody says it feels good to slap your boss. Before the red carpets, the tequila, and everything else, Rock was a wrestler. Rock knows that slap was a receipt.
Cole asks why did he agree to the tag match since you have so much at stake on Sunday against Roman. Cole reminds Cody of the stipulation if he loses on Saturday. Why would Seth do that? You and Seth have a long history and Seth said he wants to be the top champion in WWE. Seth is the last person to defeat Roman, even though it was by disqualification. How can you trust Seth Rollins?

He even welcomed back Jey Uso. Cody says he will go to war with anyone. This is his one shot to get a fair fight. He says he was looking forward to talking to Cole and he wants to answer a question from the last time they were together in the ring. Cody asks Cole if he looks nervous or frightened. Cody says he is nervous and scared. Cody says he has every reason to be afraid because he already said he would get it next year. The story is now about everyone who has followed him to the ends. It is about a young girl named Hannah who is blind and held up a sign to feel it. He talks about a fan who went through fusion surgery to get a weight belt.
Cody talks about his other sister who traveled with their dad. He says that he has his mother who he can hand the belt to because he can’t hand it to his dad. What about his number one fan, Brandi. She took a shot on him when he was wearing a goofy mask and taking RKOs every night. The story is beyond him, but it is up to him.
Roman, last year, you said they were in the third inning. They are now in the last inning. Cody says that Cole will get to say for the first time that a Rhodes is the Undisputed WWE Champion. You get to say at Wrestlemania, Cody Rhodes finished the story.
– Ricochet says he returns tonight to in ring action. He returns for an opportunity to regain what was taken from him. From the first day he walked into the WWE, he knew where he wanted to be. After running through the gauntlet, he will face Gunther at Wrestlemania. His road to Wrestlemania starts tonight.
– JD McDonagh says he saw a man in the mirror who is one win from Wrestlemania. Someone who will do anything to get to Wrestlemania. He saw someone looking back at him who knows they can beat Gunther. Never bet against an Ace.
