Smark Out Moment

Tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw for January 22, 2018 is coming to you live from both the Barclays Center and the Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom in New York. Follow along here for ongoing coverage of the results of the show to find out what happens as things occur and chat with fellow WWE fans in the comments below!

• We're kicking off the show with Stephanie McMahon and Shane McMahon in the ring. No opening pyro, but we do get a video package. They introduce Vince McMahon and give him a commemorative plaque he says is cheap and runs down the Brooklyn crowd. He says he did this all by himself. Stone Cold Steve Austin comes out. McMahon tries to plead with him that he's old, a member of AARP, has health problems and such, but Shane is in his prime. Austin shakes Shane's hand, but then hits him with a Stunner. They toast some beers and then Austin hits him with a Stunner. Shane gets up and toasts Austin, who then gives him another Stunner, cause why not, right?
• Asuka, Mickie James, Sasha Banks and Bayley def. Absolution, Alicia Fox and Nia Jax by submission (Fox taps out to the Bank Statement). Asuka makes a statement by tossing her partners out of the ring over the top rope.
• Kurt Angle tells a referee to make sure there aren't any incidents tonight with Brock Lesnar, Kane and Braun Strowman. Jonathan Coachman comes into the office, followed by Harvey Wippleman, Brooklyn Brawler, Teddy Long, Brother Love, and The Boogeyman
• There's a video package for The Undertaker's moments. Taker comes out, announced by The Fink! He doesn't really say anything, though, outside of "remember when I beat Austin, Foley and Kane?" All of us watching are confused about what this is supposed to mean, as it was kind of lame, admittedly.
• Heath Slater and Rhyno are losing to the APA at poker. Ted DiBiase buys in.
• There's a parade of managers, including John Laurinaitis, William Regal, Eric Bischoff, and Daniel Bryan. The Miz interrupts and stares down Bryan before going to the ring with The Miztourage.
• Intercontinental Championship Match: The Miz def. Roman Reigns to win the title!
• MVP, Jeff Hardy, and The Usos join the APA poker game.
• Christian hosts The Peep Show with his guests, Jason Jordan and Seth Rollins. Jordan gets booed a ton, of course. The Bar comes out to say Jordan sucks. A fight erupts and Rollins ends up inadvertently hitting Jordan.
• Charly Caruso talks to Alexa Bliss, who gets interrupted by Charlotte and Ric Flair. Woo.
• Titus Worldwide and Natalya join the poker game.
• Bray Wyatt pops up in the Manhattan Center (the second segment from there tonight; those fans must be annoyed because they're chanting "we got something") to face Matt Hardy.
• Bray Wyatt def. Matt Hardy by pinfall
• Now there's a parade of women's wrestlers, including The Bella Twins, Maryse, Kelly Kelly, Lilian Garcia, Jacqueline, Torrie Wilson, Michelle McCool, Terri Runnels, Maria Kanellis, and Trish Stratus
• Elias is backstage and bumps into Chris Jericho, who sings a song that he's written for him, saying he's a stupid idiot who just made the list. Elias goes to the ring and sings a song about how the legends suck compared to him. John Cena interrupts. A beach ball leads to an "asshole" chant. They trade some words and then start to fight, with Cena getting hit with a low-blow and then the guitar.
• The New Day also join the poker game. Slater's cheating. DiBiase wins with a royal flush.
• Mark Henry is backstage. He bumps into The Godfather, who has a ho...his wife, Olivia.
• Titus Worldwide and Heath Slater and Rhyno wrestle to a double DQ. The Dudley Boyz come out. All three (yes, even Rhyno) throw Slater to Bubba Ray and D-Von. They put Slater through a table.
• Charly Caruso talks to AJ Styles, but he hands the mic over to Mean Gene Okerlund to do the interview. Styles just says about how he'll retain the title at the Royal Rumble.
• DX is in the Manhattan Center. Triple H and HBK shout out Rick Rude and Chyna. The New Age Outlaws come out, then X-Pac, then Razor Ramon, who says this Raw is too sweet, prompting The Balor Club to come out, who "too sweet" with DX before The Revival come out.
• Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows def. The Revival. After the match, The Revival eat an X-Factor, a Fameasser, Razor's toothpick, a superkick, a Pedigree and a Coup de Grace.
• Kurt Angle and the legends, along with the roster, come out in preparation for the Lesnar/Kane/Strowman segment, which immediately turns into a fight between the three, which is very generic and nothing to write about. Strowman stands tall. Even more proof he loses on Sunday.
