WWE Raw Results:
– The show opened with Brock Lesnar demanding a fight with Seth Rollins. He was interrupted by Triple, and then Seth Rollins on the TitanTron.

After 20+ minutes of arguing, Triple H decides John Cena will get another chance to fight for his fired friends’ jobs if he wins a WWE App poll.
1. Bray Wyatt defeated Daniel Bryan. Corporate Kane interfered in the match, allowing Wyatt to hit Sister Abigail on Bryan and get the pin. After the match, Kane continued to beat up Bryan.
– Byron Saxton hosts a “Legends Panel” and asks Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan who they think will win the Rumble. Michaels says Bray Wyatt. Flair says Dean Ambrose.

2. Dean Ambrose defeated Bad News Barrett. This was a non-title match. Ambrose won with Dirty Deeds.
