Tonight its all about the Slammy's! The annual awards show will take place tonight, but last week we saw several things happen that has not happened on Monday Night Raw in years.. One, the boss Vincent Kennedy McMahon showed up to wreak havoc on Roman Reigns and his decision to destroy Triple H in his post TLC main event melt down. Two, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship changed hands as Roman Reigns takes advantage of a match made by Vince, and brings home the title for a second time in his young career. Also, Saturday night at a house show in LA, The Beast Incarnate made a shocking return. What will the fallout be tonight? Will Vince be back to the show that he made famous? Will Brock Lesnar be back on Monday Night Raw for the first time in months to destroy the roster? Will HHH be back to talk about the beating he took, and what will Roman Reigns first full Monday Night Raw as champion be like? So many questions will be answered tonight!
PROMO: The first promo of the night belongs to Stephanie McMahon. She comes down to the ring all smiles, even though you think she'd be pretty PO'd after last weeks events. She reminds everyone that tonight is the night of the Slammy's, and even brings up the fact that she's all smiles saying "McMahons don't give in" and "tonight is a night of celebrating". Then out comes the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns. Roman obviously brings up the fact he's the new champ, and that Stephanie smiling makes it feel like its a set-up. He then says he doesn't "sweat" anyone in the McMahon family. Especially HHH since he has not seen him since he laid him out at TLC, but when Steph does see him to tell him that he's waiting. Stephanie then says to get out of her ring as her smile quickly disappears. Stephanie then throws an all out tantrum, and Roman even tells her that she sounds like "a little kid". Roman says that he does not want to spoil her good mood, but the people don't want him to leave. She continues to scream at him to leave the ring, but he continues to refuse. Once Roman turns his back on her as a form of disrespect Stephanie says he needs to get back in the ring as to not be disrespectful. Stephanie then says she wants Roman to feel like she felt watching family get destroyed. Announcing two matches. The Usos vs. The New Day in a handicap match, and Dean Ambrose vs. Sheamus in a steel cage match. and then Stephanie says "because of you Roman there is going to be hell to pay".

SLAMMY "Breakout Star of the Year"
Presented by Dolph Ziggler. Nominees being Kevin Owens, Neville, Charlotte, Tyler Breeze, and Braun Stroman(really?)
WINNER: Neville. Damn, I was hoping it'd be KO.
PROMO: Out comes KO during Neville's speech! KO says he should've won and dismisses Neville. He then says this is the most ridiculous thing he's ever seen in WWE. Saying he beat Cena on his first night, and then notices Ziggler laughing. He then says the only way Ziggler would win a Slammy would be if they had a "Has Been of the Year". A fight ensues and he refs separate them.
MATCH: The Wyatt Family vs. Kane, The Dudley Boyz, & Tommy Dreamer
The Wyatts just showed up in the ring out of nowhere and then out comes Kane.
Kane has the upperhand for most of the match, but it quickly breaks down to a 4 on 1 with the Wyatt Family destroying Kane. Out comes the Dudley Boyz and Dreamer to defend Kane. I feel like a 8 man tag is about to happen...
*Commercial Break*
I was right. As is usual. The match that started off Kane vs. Bray Wyatt is now an 8-man tag match involving The Wyatt Family vs. Kane, The Dudleys, and Dreamer.
Harper pins D-Von Dudley after the spinning clothesline.
RESULT: The Wyatt Family wins via pin fall.
THOUGHTS: This match broke down several times to just an all out brawl, but nonetheless seeing Kane team with The Dudleys was rather cool. I still think Luke Harper has gold written all over him for a singles star.
*Commercial Break*
SLAMMY "LOL Moment of the Year"
Presented by Santino Marella! Nominees being The New Day with Edge and Christian, The Bushwackers Hall of Fame induction, The Miz erectile dysfunction commercial debut, The New Day dancing with The Authority, and R-Truth forgetting he is not in the Money In The Bank match.
WINNER: R-Truth forgetting he is not in the Money In The Bank match.
Mick Foley is back as Santa Clause for another year! Always enjoyed these.
*Commercial Break*
SLAMMY "OMG Shocking Moment of the Year"
Presented by Paul Heyman! The nominees being Seth Rollins cash in at WrestleMania 31, Brock Lesnar destroying everything the night after WrestleMania 31, Kalisto's "Salida Del Sol" from the ladder at TLC, The Wyatt Family carrying away Taker after Hell In A Cell, and Sheamus cashing in at Survivor Series.
WINNER: Kalisto's "Salida Del Sol" from the top of the ladder at TLC! Rightfully so. One badass move, my friend.
MATCH: Kevin Owens vs. Dolph Ziggler
This match was made after Owens insulted Ziggler during the first Slammy award presentation, and Dolph attacked KO.
KO holding the upper hand, until Dolph locks in the sleeper hold. KO breaks out of it by slamming Dolph to the canvas. He also hits huge blows right across Zigglers nose with his forearms and elbows and yelling "I'M THE BREAKOUT STAR". Referencing the award that caused this match. Owens continues to dominate the match with a huge knee to the stomach, and a running senton for a two-count. Dolph has a few attempts at a comeback, but KO continues to thwart them.
*Commercial Break*
We come back to KO hitting a huge suplex off the ropes for a two-count. The two brawl outside the ring, but then when they come back in Dolph hits a surprise Famouser off the second rope but for a two-count. Then a pop-up power bomb seals the W for KO.
RESULT: Kevin Owens wins via pin fall.
THOUGHTS: Good match! You had to know it would be a solid match with two guys. Ziggler does not win a whole lot, but he always puts on a great show.
SLAMMY "Superstar of the Year"
Stephanie McMahon is here to tell us the nominees. There are no nominees, all Superstars are eligible!
WINNER: Seth Rollins! And he's in the building! Seth freaking Rollins! Well deserved in my opinion. He is overly entertaining in my opinion. He gets emotional in his speech when he brings up the injury. "In 2016 I will redesign Seth Rollins. I will rebuild myself."
Next Monday will be the return of John Cena and will face Alberto Del Rio.
MATCH: Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger
The rest of the League Of Nations are at ringside for Del Rio.
Swagger starts of quick and goes for a pin but gets a one-count. ADR uses the ropes to regain control, and uses the barricade as well.
*Commercial Break*
When we come back Del Rio is still in control. He hits a big DDT for a two-count, and then sets up for the arm breaker. Swagger avoids the move and starts to build momentum. He hits a Swagger Bomb for two-count, and then moves Del Rio to the top rope. Del Rio knocks him off to the second rope and then hits the double foot stomp for the win.
RESULT: Alberto Del Rio wins via pin fall.
THOUGHTS: I have been very disappointed over how Del Rio has been uses/performed since his first match against Cena. This match however was a good one, and I like how no one has kicked out of his suspended double foot stomp.
*Commercial Break*
SLAMMY "The Hero In All Of Us Award"
Mark Henry will be presenting the award which highlights a Superstars actions outside the ring with the Make-a-Wish Foundation, Be A Star, etc.. The nominees are Natalya, Roman Reigns, The Big Show, Titus O'Neil, and John Cena.
WINNER: John Cena! Well deserved. Cena was not present to accept the award, but Henry gives a great speech on his behalf.
SLAMMY "Surprise Return of the Year"
Santa Clause is out to present the award. Bo Dallas dressed as Santa Clause. I hate this guy. The nominees for the award are The Dudley Boyz, Chris Jericho, Alberto Del Rio, Kane, and Sting.
WINNER: Sting! Sting is not here to accept the award.
MATCH: The New Day vs. The Usos
This is a handicap match set up by Stephanie earlier in the night to "punish" Roman Reigns.
Well.. I had everything typed out for you guys before the break.. But my laptop deleted everything that happened, and I cannot seem to get it back. So I'll tell you guys who won and how. My apologies, guys.
*Commercial Break*
The Usos win off a roll up pin on Xavier Woods!
RESULT: The Usos win via pin fall.
THOUGHTS: This match was rather boring for me.. I just don't find The Usos all that enjoyable, but that's just me!
SLAMMY "Diva of the Year"
R-Truth will be presenting the award with his "LOL Moment of the Year" award in hand. The nominees are Nikki Bella, Naomi, Paige, Sasha Banks, and Charlotte.
If its not Sasha Banks we riot.
WINNER: Paige. I'm rioting as we speak.. Then we found out that R-Truth made a mistake like Steve Harvey. Okay I should have seen that coming.. But nonetheless Nikki Bella was the true winner. Which still isn't Sasha dammit.
MATCH: Neville vs. Rusev
The League Of Nations is at ringside and The Miz is on commentary.
HAHA "We want Sasha" chants are still ringing loud through the opening moments of this match. Good stuff. Meanwhile, Rusev is dominating. Neville is still getting dominated as he is throwing into the ring post.
*Commercial Break*
We come back with Neville perking up a bit. He is taking it to Rusev with crazy speed. He hit a big superkick to knock down the big man, and then goes for the Red Arrow but gets caught and Rusev locks in The Accolade for the win.
RESULT: Rusev wins via submission.
THOUGHTS: Boring boring boring. I did like The League Of Nations beating him down afterwards though.
*Commercial Break*
SLAMMY "This Is Awesome Moment of the Year"
The Miz is presenting. The nominees being Lesnar destroying J&J Security car, Orton RKO on Rollins at WrestleMania, the Divas Revolution, The Shield "Reunion", and The Rock and Rousey at WrestleMania.
WINNER: The Rock and Ronda Rousey. Neither are there unfortunately.
MATCH: Becky Lynch vs. Brie Bella
Charlotte is at ringside for Becky as she dominates early on. Brie then hangs the arm up on the ropes and gains the upper hand. Brie continues to target the arm of Becky, but Becky attempts a comeback but gets thwarted. Brie then hits the "YES!" kicks for a two-count. Brie keeps assaulting the arm of Becky as Charlotte watches on. They show Team B.A.D watching on a TV in the back. Becky finally starts a comeback with a lot of clothesline knock downs. Brie hits the arm to get separation for a missile drop kcikc for two-count. Becky then locks in the Disarmer out of no where for the win.
RESULT: Becky Lynch wins via submission.
THOUGHTS: Good match! I'm a huge Becky fan and any time a Bella loses is a good time.
*Commercial Break*
SLAMMY "Match of the Year"
Ric Flair is here to present the award. The nominees are John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins at the Royal Rumble, Sting vs. Triple H at WrestleMania, John Cena vs. Kevin Owens at Elimination Chamber(my pick, badass match), Reigns vs. Ziggler vs. Owens vs. Del Rio Number One Contender match, and Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker Hell In A Cell.
WINNER: Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker Hell in a Cell. Paul Heyman accepts the award. Heyman says Lesnar will only come to Raw for a fight, but no superstar in the back wants that.
As the cage is being lowered we are taken backstage to The League of Nations beating on The Usos.
*Commercial Break*
STEEL CAGE MATCH: Dean Ambrose vs. Sheamus
Obviously The League Of Nations is at ringside for Sheamus, and I have a feeling Roman Reigns will soon be down there for Dean.
Sheamus Brogue Kicks Dean before he can ever get in the ring, and The League Of Nations takes advantage. Beating him senseless before throwing him in the cage as the bell rings. Sheamus takes advantage of the steel cage and uses it as a weapon. The Celtic Warrior then just continues to dominate Dean. Sheamus does a good job of using the cage as a weapon. I love thee use of your environment in a match. Sheamus then tries to climb out, but Dean manages to get back to his feet and stops him. Sheamus then continues the assault. The "this is boring" chants ring throughout the arena. I wish the announcers would acknowledge those kind of chants. Sheamus goes for a Brogue Kick but Dean dodges and he then begins to use the cage. Both men are on the top rope as they try to escape and Sheamus hits the White Noise from the top rope. Both men again fight to the top but Sheamus falls with the ropes going between his legs. Dean tries to climb out but LON stops him as he is on the top of the cage and dives off on to Sheamus with an elbow for a two-count. Roman then shows up and begins to take out LON at ringside. He is wielding a chair again as somewhere HHH is trembling with PTSD. Roman Reigns climbs up to stop Sheamus from escaping and then throws in a chair for Dean. He hits the Dirty Deeds on the steel chair and he begins to climb to the top. Ambrose gets to the top but Sheamus of course gets up to stop him. Both men attempt to escape and fight at the top of the cage. Both men fight suspended on the outside of the cage as Ambrose jumps off to the floor for the victory and Sheamus gets hit with a spear.
RESULT: Dean Ambrose wins via escaping the cage.
THOUGHTS: Not bad. a couple of really good spots, and it was a little boring at first. They did a good job building it up as it went along. Kudos to both men.
PROMO: Tom Phillips asks Stephanie what her reaction is to Dean winning and she slaps the crap out of him multiple times.
