WWE Raw results: Daniel Bryan acts as guest General Manager
Dolph Ziggler and John Cena stand tall in main event
Last Updated: 25/11/14 3:23pm
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have been stripped of their power – and Daniel Bryan couldn’t be happier.
The Game and his wife were sent packing at Survivor Series on Sunday when, following interference from wrestling legend Sting, their five-man squad lost to John Cena’s.
And ex-WWE World Heavyweight Champion Bryan, who is currently unable to compete after undergoing neck surgery, revelled in The Authority’s demise on Raw when he was named as guest General Manager.
Bryan launched a deafening “Yes”!” chant as Triple H and McMahon, who made his life a misery before and after he won WWE's ultimate prize at WrestleMania XXX, exited the arena.
The submission specialist then set about placing the Superstars who represented Team Authority at Survivor Series in tricky situations, including his former Team Hell No partner Kane.
Bryan named The Devil’s Favourite Demon ‘Director of Food and Beverages’ and forced him to serve hot dogs, and while the veteran was able to spurt Santino Marella with mustard, he was bellowed at by his boss and attacked by Ryback, who had earlier made light work of Mark Henry.
Disqualified
Bryan also made Intercontinental Champion Luke Harper defend his garland against the madcap Dean Ambrose – but the onetime Wyatt Family escaped with his gold intact.
Harper threw Ambrose into the referee as The Lunatic Fringe gained a head of steam, getting himself disqualified but ensuring his rival could not nick the belt he pinched from Dolph Ziggler last Monday.
Ambrose then hunted for weapons in order to punish Harper but was stopped in his tracks by Bray Wyatt, who floored the ex-Shield man with Sister Abigail and buried him under chairs, a fate Ambrose had inflicted on The Eater of Worlds at Survivor Series.
Rusev, meanwhile, was given a choice by Bryan: either defend his United States Title in a battle royal or Pledge the Allegiance to the United States while the country’s flag hung above him.
The Russian-loving Bulgarian opted for the latter but didn’t get that far and instead looked poised to attack WWE legend Sgt Slaughter – until Jack Swagger rushed to the ring and sent Rusev scampering.
Subjected
Bryan toyed with Seth Rollins, too, placing Mr Money in the Bank in a match with John Cena and Sunday’s sole survivor Dolph Ziggler but not telling him who his partners would be.
The WWE Universe voted in droves, though, and picked Authority goons Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble as Rollins’ accomplices for the man-event tag-team tussle in Indianapolis.

Rollins routinely dismissed Mercury and Noble when they claimed the three of them could form Shield 2.0 and he was probably right to, with his buddies unable to stop Cena and Ziggler.
J&J Security were subjected to Zig Zags and Attitude Adjustments en route to losing the contest but Rollins didn’t escape unharmed either, with Bryan throwing The Aerialist back into the ring post-match so he could take more punishment from Ziggler and Cena.
However, as Bryan, Ziggler and Cena celebrated, the Anonymous Raw General Manager of yesteryear announced, via an e-mail to Michael Cole, that he/she would be in charge next week.
