Last night in Indianapolis we had our first Raw exclusive PPV since the brand split in Clash of Champions. You can find all the results from that event here! Tonight, we get the fallout.
UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Rusev (w Lana)
RESULTS: Double count out. Reigns retains.
THOUGHTS: Having this start the show without a promo was a great move. The less Roman speaks, the better he looks. Overall this was a good match, and I'm glad they gave it nearly 30 minutes. Roman did a solid job selling his back issues, and it was a good start to the show. Much better than the standard 10-15 minute promo. I don't like the finish.
After the match, the two continue to brawl around and inside the ring. Rusev eventually grabs a chair to continue his assault, but after a few chair shots Roman hits a spear to stand tall.
BREAKING NEWS: Due to the controversial ending to the Raw Tag Team Championship match at Clash of Champions, there will be a rematch tonight. Anderson & Gallows vs. The New Day.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO (In-Ring): GM Mick Foley is in the ring, and he bring sup the ending of the best of seven series between Sheamus and Cesaro. The seventh match ended in medical stoppage as neither man can continue. Mick invites both men to the ring. The two men argue over who truly deserves the championship opportunity. Eventually Mick interjects saying both men are right, and they have both earned championship opportunities. However, it is the same opportunity for both men. They will be competing together for the Raw Tag Team Championships. They argue, but Mick says that is his final decision, and if they choose to do it they will take on the winner of the next match.
*Commercial Break*
RAW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: The New Day (c) vs. Anderson & Gallows
RESULTS: The New Day wins via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: Man.. Gallows and Anderson get no love. 400 days and counting for New Day.
BREAKING NEWS: Seth Rollins not medically cleared to compete tonight on Monday Night Raw due to damaged ribs.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO (Backstage): Sheamus and Cesaro are arguing backstage and Mick comes in. They ask Mick to change his mind. He gets up in arms saying that last night they proved him right and everybody else wrong. Their best of seven match stole the show last night, and they pushed each other to the limit. He can't risk putting them against each other again, because then he risks losing one of them for good. He begs them to trust him, and that two guys that don't like one another can take the tag team world by storm. I love when Mick shows so much emotion in his work.
MATCH: Bayley vs. Anna Fields
RESULTS: Bayley wins via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: Why in the world are they having Bayley in a squash match when she just took Charlotte and Sasha to the limit in a triple threat last night for the Raw Women's Championship? There are several women on the roster that she could've went up against, and not had a squash match.
PROMO (In-Ring): Tom asks Bayley about the triple threat match last night, and she says that Sasha and Charlotte are the measuring stick for women's wrestling. Last night will not be the last time they see her, and she won't stop until she is hugging the Women's Championship.
PROMO (Backstage): Mick and Steph are in their office, and Mick says that he looks like a fool. He says he trusted Stephanie, but then she let the main event down. He leaves for a few minutes, the ref goes down, Chris Jericho interferes, and she finds a ref just in time. Then HHH shows up, and she seems so happy with Seth's loss. Stephanie takes offense saying it's his job to maintain the integrity to protect the main event, and he failed. It's his fault, and he should be embarrassed. He says he is out of line, and she says that if he wants to continue to be GM he better get it together. Seth isn't cleared to compete, but when he gets here he will go after Jericho and KO so he better figure it out. Heel Stephanie is back.. As if she ever left?
*Commercial Break*
MATCH: Rich Swann & Cedric Alexander vs. Lince Dorado & Drew Gulak
RESULTS: Rich Swann & Cedric Alexander win via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: Not bad! I'm not a Rich Swann fan, but the guy is all talent.
*Commercial Break*
MATCH: Cesaro & Sheamus vs. Nick Cutler & Williams
RESULT: Cesaro & Sheamus win via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: Meh..
VIDEO PACKAGE: They play a video of Cruiserweight Champion, TJ Perkins.
PROMO (Backstage): Tom asks TJ Perkins about his Raw debut, and he gives the cookie cutter "I've dreamed of this moment.." thing, and then is interrupted by Brian Kendrick who says that Cruiserweight Championship belongs to him.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO (In-Ring): Charlotte is ready to celebrate her championship victory last night. She is of course joined by Dana. She says that it was once again her night, and she talks the talk and walks the walk. She mocks the WWE Universe for thinking Bayley can stop her from being champion. She says that everyone will learn.. She isn't the huggable Bayley, and not the internet darling in Sasha Banks.. But she is the face of the women's division. That brings out Sasha. She reminds Charlotte that she still gets her one on one rematch, and she wants that right now. Charlotte says that she has earned it, and she'll give the people what they want. She will give her a title match.. Next week. She gives Sasha credit, she continues to get back up. Sasha promises everyone that she will become the face of the women's division next week. She slaps Charlotte, and locks in the Bank Statement on Dana. Sasha stands tall.
They cut to a camera backstage that shows Seth Rollins walking around backstage.
*Commercial Break*
PROMO (Backstage): Seth is stopped by Mick Foley. Mick asks how he's feeling, and Seth says nothing is stopping him from going out during the Highlight Reel with Jericho and KO. Mick tries to explain to Seth that he knows what he is feeling, but Seth stops him by saying "I see your lips moving, but only hear Stephanie's words coming out of your mouth."
MATCH: TJ Perkins vs. Tony Nese
RESULT: TJ Perkins wins via submission.
THOUGHTS: I love TJ Perkins! I hate this Raw crowd for beginning a "CM Punk" chant especially during an entertaining bout like this.
*Commercial Break*
BREAKING NEWS: Sasha and Charlotte will battle for the Raw Women's Championship next week on Raw!
HIGHLIGHT REEL WITH CHRIS JERICHO: Chris Jericho invites his best friend and WWE Universal Champion, Kevin Owens! He of course reminds us all that there is not anyone that are better friends than he and Kevin Owens. He is carrying "The List of Jericho" to which he adds the cameraman for not shooting his good side, the stupid idiot crowd, and Seth Rollins for getting injured again. Out comes Kevin Owens. Jericho says that Owens proved what excellence is last night, and that he is the epitome of a champion. KO, wearing his ring gear, says he would normally be wearing a suit but Cincinnati doesn't deserve that. He says that last night he proved that he should've been draft pick number one, and that he is the man and the main event. Not only did he beat Seth, but he also put him on the injured list. Kevin calls that karma. Seth injured Cena, Sting, and Finn all while walking around acting like he ran the place. Last night he took out the most dangerous man in WWE, so he is now the most dangerous man in WWE. That brings out Seth Rollins. Security stops Seth from heading to the ring, and asks him to leave. Mick and Finlay also join the security squad as KO and Y2J taunt him from the ring. Eventually, Seth leaves. But as he leaves, out comes.. Enzo & Cass. They have their own customized mics, which is awesome. After a verbal duel, it boils down to Enzo & Cass vs. Jeri-KO!
BREAKING NEWS: Ashton Kutcher & Danny Masterson to be guest stars on Monday Night Raw in LA next week.. Yay?
*Commercial Break*
MATCH: Enzo & Cass vs. Chris Jericho & Kevin Owens
RESULT: Chris Jericho & Kevin Owens win via pinfall.
THOUGHTS: No surprised here. A cool main event to end a decent show.
