The following are the results of the March 17th edition of WWE RAW, which took place from the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.
In Ring Segment
Triple H is standing in the middle of the ring to kick off this edition of Monday Night RAW. He opens by telling the crowd, that all this is their fault, and he is going to end the Yes Movement and put an end to Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania. He says he has something he wants to say to Daniel Bryan’s face, and he will later tonight. Batista’s music hits, and he makes his way down to confront Triple H. Batista asks Triple H “who the hell are who” to give Daniel Bryan a title shot at ‘Mania? Batista says that’s not what he signed up for when he returned to the WWE. Triple H fires back, asking if he really thinks Daniel Bryan can beat him at ‘Mania! Randy Orton now interrupts and confronts Triple H and says why did he make this Triple Threat Match? Triple H can’t believe they don’t have any faith that he can beat Daniel Bryan. Orton then asks Triple H to make a no disqualification match between him and Bryan tonight on RAW, to which Hunter makes official. Orton then goes on to say the reason the fans cheer for Bryan, is because Batista’s return to the company has failed, and the fans boo him. Batista says that Orton is a “paper champ” and the only reason he has the title is because of Triple H’s support. The two argue back and forth, and Triple H leaves the ring in disgust. Batista tells him he has to fix this, and Triple H just digs into both Batista and Orton. He says he’s tired of “Hollywood movie stars” telling him what to do, and he’s tired of having to hold the champions hand all the time. He says there will be a Triple Threat Match at ‘Mania, but it won’t be with Daniel Bryan, it will be with him! Triple H says that he will beat Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania, and he will be in the main event! As Triple H walks off, Orton hits Batista with a RKO out of no where.
After the break, Renee Young catches up to Batista who is leaving the arena. He says that coming back here was a big mistake.

They surround The King, and Seth Rollins tells him that he doesn’t think Daniel Bryan is going to come down to save him. He adds, The Shield always do what’s best for business.
