WWE Raw Results:
– The show opened with a bizarre segment in which Mr. McMahon brought out Roman Reigns and insulted him until Reigns shoved him, so he could claim he was injured and have Reigns arrested. Stephanie McMahon ordered Reigns be arrested, but security refused, saying Stephanie’s attitude would get her arrested first. Vince miraculously “healed,” confronted security and put his hands on them, which got him arrested. He was taken out of the arena and WWE shared his “mugshot,” which you can see above.
1. Neville defeated Kevin Owens. Neville countered a pop-up powerbomb into a rollup to win in about 20 seconds. Owens attacked him for several minutes after the match, including a second attack after a commercial break.
2. Sasha Banks defeated Becky Lynch. Team B.A.D. helped cheat for Banks throughout the match. Banks pinned Lynch with a handful of tights after countering a Disarmer into a rollup.
3. Kalisto defeated Kofi Kingston. Kalisto won with a rollup. After the match, Xavier Woods insulted Sin Cara, and volunteered Big E as his opponent.
4. Big E defeated Sin Cara. Sin Cara appeared to injure his shoulder during the match. Big E won with the Big Ending.
– An episode of Miz TV saw him get interrupted by Ryback, Goldust, Zack Ryder, R-Truth, Heath Slater and finally Big Show. Big Show knocked out Slater and a brawl broke out, leading to a Show vs. Ryback match. Show entered himself in the Royal Rumble.
5. Ryback defeated Big Show. Big Show got himself counted-out on purpose.
6. The League of Nations (Sheamus, Rusev and King Barrett) defeated Dean Ambrose and The Usos. Sheamus won the match for his team with a Brogue Kick. After the match, Kevin Owens attacked Dean Ambrose and powerbombed him through the Spanish announce table.
7. United States Championship Match: John Cena defeated Alberto Del Rio (c). Before the match, Cena insulted Del Rio until he made the match a championship match. Cena fought off Sheamus and Rusev, then had Del Rio beaten with an Attitude Adjustment until they interfered again, drawing a disqualification. The Usos tried to make the save, but were attacked by the League. Roman Reigns showed up and made the save instead.
Vince McMahon returned and set up a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match for next week: Roman Reigns vs. Sheamus, with himself as the special guest referee.
