#Phenomenal: WWE 2016; Raw 2/29/16 Posted!

   

‣ Coming hot off the cuffs of Fast Lane, Monday Night Raw comes to you live from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan. We would almost instantly be met with the theme music of the Chairman, Vince McMahon. He would make his way down to the ring, which currently had the Vincent J. McMahon Legacy of Excellence Award sitting inside. Once Vince was inside the squared circle, he'd be given a microphone and now he would take around five minutes explaining exactly what the award was and what made his father excellent. Finally he would clear his throat before shifting his body slightly towards the stage as he would announce loudly, "That's why i'm proud to announce the recipient of the Vincent J. McMahon Legacy of Excellence Award is none other than, Stephanie McMahon!". However after a few moments of waiting, Vince would look confused before repeating the line adding in, "Please make your way down to the ring now, Ste-", before Vince could finish he would be interrupted by the theme music of someone no one expected. "Here comes the money! Here comes the money!", Shane McMahon would strut out onto the stage. The Detroit crowd going crazy for the returning McMahon. Shane would smile before making his way down to the ring, entering it and grabbing a microphone of his own. "Hello, Dad.", would be the only two words Shane McMahon would say before looking around the arena as the crowd was still going crazy for him. "You know, Dad. I can let a lot of things slide, I really can. However, this was the straw that broke the camels back and killed the camel in the process. You're really going to come out here and tell these people that of all people, Stephanie deserves this award? You're going to try and sell Stephanie McMahon as a kindhearted person who strives to create excellence in this industry? Dad, you know this just further proves my point I have been trying to say for the past seven and a half years. You're out of touch.", Vince would begin to laugh after hearing Shane speak, the crowd now starting a "Yes!" Chant after the son dropped the out of touch line. "I'm out of touch, Shane? If i'm out of touch, what does that make you? Remember, son. You left this industry to start your own in Japan, so how would you know anything about what's in touch?", it would be Shane McMahon now who would just laugh before shaking his head and quickly replying. "You really want to push that narrative don't you? I mean it may have helped Stephanie and Hunter for the first few years, but these people hate them now so it's not going to win them back over. Dad, you know just as well as I do that i've always had my hand in the cookie jar and i've been eating the cookies in Japan for this company during all these years. You don't think I know what's in touch? Here, i'll prove it. Detroit! Let me hear you! You would much rather see the likes of the AJ Styles, the Neville's, the Kevin Owens, hell even the Sami Zayn's, rather than whats been pushed down your throats the passed year, right?". Shane would pause long enough to let the crowd erupt into a sea of cheers, the crowd loving everything the younger McMahon was saying. "See, Dad. Just because you still believe the year is nineteen ninety four, and that you need to be a giant with muscles does not mean at all that you need to in the year twenty sixteen. You want further prove? How about last night? The Lunatic Fringe is heading to Wrestlemania and did you hear that crowd response? They loved every second of it. So that's why i'm out here, that's why I came back. To bring these people what they want, and that requires you to do something, Dad.", Shane would again pause and this gave Vince enough time to ask what exactly he meant. "Well, Dad. It's simple really, i'm here to take control of the WWE. I want the keys to the ship, I want to make sure that this industry can be given to the next generation just like your dad wanted you to give this industry to my generation.", Shane would stop as Vince would raise his left hand to get him to pause. Instead of even saying a word, Vince would just use his left hand now to swing and slap Shane across the face before yelling into the microphone. "You come out here and disrespect me?! You show up after seven years to say i'm out of touch?! You ungrateful bastard! You want control of the WWE, you get nothing! You never will get this company, and you know why? Because my father never wanted the industry to be ran by a failure!", Shane would tilt his head back up slowly, a smirk on his face as he looked back at Vince before saying in a cocky tone, "Are you done? No-no, I mean it, are you done? Because, you see Dad, now you just put the ball in my court. You just assaulted me and I can sue, which you know by now that i'm not afraid and i'm not scared to do so. You want that though, Dad? Before the biggest Wrestlemania of all time, you stuck in court again? Reminds me of nineteen ninety four to be honest, and i'm pretty sure you don't want that. So how about you calm down, and you just give me what I came for. Control of the WWE.", as soon as the talks of trails and going to court came up the tone of Vince McMahon changed completely. He now would clear his throat before shaking his head. "Shane, you know as well as I do that court isn't needed for this. How about a compromise? How about you get that opportunity to take the control of the WWE? Yeah-yeah, you'd have to win a pretty big match though, and what bigger place than Wrestlemania? So how about it, Shane? If you can win a match at Wrestlemania against an opponent of my choosing, you can have the WWE in your hands.", within seconds, needing no time at all to think, Shane McMahon quickly would respond with, "You're on.". Vince now would begin laughing before shaking his head. "I didn't even mention your opponent or the type of match, but since you're on I guess it's alright to go ahead and do so. At Wrestlemania Thirty Two we will see Shane McMahon step inside the Hell in a Cell to fight for the Control of the WWE against... The Undertaker.", following saying this Vince would drop the microphone and begin to exit the ring as his music played. The crowd was left stunned, as was Shane McMahon though that cocky grin on his face never left. The cocky grin of Shane McMahon with the Wrestlemania sign peeking out over his shoulder would be the last sight we saw of this segment.

‣ Non Title Match - Chris Jericho vs. Kalisto The first official match of this edition of Monday Night Raw would see two men who competed last night at Fast Lane, though only one won their match. That man being the United States Champion, Kalisto as he made his way down to the ring with the crowd chanting "LUCHA! LUCHA! LUCHA!". Following the champion entering the ring, the music would be interrupted by a countdown clock and the lights would dim in the Joe Louis Arena. Chris Jericho's light up jacket was visible in the darkness and once the pyro went off and his music hit, he'd spin around before making his way down to the ring as well. The match would kick off at a fast pace, much to the surprise of no one. Chris Jericho's roots were in the Cruiserweight style of wrestling, and no one on the roster displayed that style currently than Kalisto. The two would trade off control for much of the match, neither having too much of an advantage on the other. The end of the match would come as Kalisto would roll Jericho onto his knees, going for a roll through kick to the veteran's head, however Y2J would catch Kalisto's leg. Quickly Chris rose to his feet, just enough to turn the champion onto his stomach as he would lock in a Walls of Jericho. Kalisto would try as hard as he could to crawl towards the ropes but finally his arms gave out on him and he was forced to finally tap out, giving Chris Jericho the win.

‣ Following the opening contest, we would cut backstage to see Renee Young standing in front of a interview set. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Intercontinental Champion, Kevin Owens.", she would pause as Kevin would walk into frame. The Intercontinental Championship draped over his shoulder as he looked ticked off already. Renee would go to ask a question but before she could, Kevin would cut her off. "Let me guess! You, just like everyone else want to know why I dropped Dolph Ziggler after our match last night? Whoa-whoa! That's not all! Let me guess even more, you want to know my thoughts on Sami Zayn coming back and basically saying without saying that he wants this Intercontinental Championship. Well Renee, my thoughts are simple. I've said it since coming to the WWE that what I do is strictly buisness but at Fast Lane last night, Sami Zayn made it personal. So if I was Sami? I'd be doing a lot of watching my own back and looking around every corner that I turned. Oh, and about Dolph? I hope he enjoys showing off on the sidelines for the next month or so. Now get out of my face, Renee. Go. Shoo.", Kevin would shoo Renee off screen with his hands before shaking his head and walking out of frame once again.

‣ After the interview we would cut back to ringside as Michael Cole, JBL, and Byron Saxton would begin to discuss a bit of what happened last night at Fast Lane regarding the main event. During this we would see still images from the match appear on screen, the last image being Dean Ambrose pointing at the Wrestlemania sign. Following those pictures would be a Raw Match Card graphic which showed Dean Ambrose versus Bray Wyatt and we would hear Michael Cole announce that tonight we would see this match in the main event.

‣ Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks Last night they were partners, tonight they were opponents. The first diva out from the back however wouldn't be competing but instead it would be the Divas Champion, Charlotte. She would make her way down to the ring and would sit ringside along with her father to observe the match. Out first now for the match would be the Lasskicker, Becky Lynch. Her opponent of course being the Boss, Sasha Banks. The match would be much like most of the other matches we've seen these two have and that is great. The holds would be exchanged one after another, suplex for suplex, forearm for forearm, these two weren't giving up an inch on the other. Both had their eyes set on Wrestlemania and both wanted to prove tonight who deserved a chance for Charlotte's Divas Championship. However after Becky and Sasha both went down following a double clothesline, it would be Charlotte who would make her presence known as she slid into the ring before waiting for both the divas to stand. Charlotte took off across the ring, nailing both women at the same time with a spear which left them laying as the bell would ring signaling the match as a no contest. Charlotte then would get her championship from her father, before posing with it in the ring standing tall over the other two divas. "Remember who is genetically superior, girls.", Charlotte would be heard saying before she gave out a loud woo and would begin to exit the ring ending the segment.

‣ After the Divas Match we would cut backstage to see, Rusev and King Barrett on their way to the ring alongside Sheamus. "Ladies and gentlemen, up next the League of Nation is in tag team action, and you're not going to want to miss this!", Byron Saxton would say over commentary before we faded to commercial break.

‣ As we came back from commercial break we would see still images from Fast Lane last night, recapping a bit of what went down during the Cutting Edge Peep Show featuring The New Day. The commentary team would talk about the debut of Enzo Amore, Colin Cassady, and Carmella then we would cut back to live action

‣ League of Nations(Rusev and King Barret) w/Sheamus vs. Enzo and Cass w/Carmella The Joe Louis Arena would be met with the sounds of the League of Nations theme music, as King Barrett, Rusev, and Sheamus came strutting out from the back. Michael Cole informing us over commentary that Alberto Del Rio is backstage warming up for his match up that he has tonight later on. Once the trio make it into the ring, we would hear the crowd light up as the sounds of the WWE's newest tag team theme would hit. Enzo Amore, Colin Cassady, and Carmella all would strut out onto the stage. After making their way down to the ring and doing their typical intro, it was finally time for the match to get started. When it did we would see Enzo and Rusev start things off. In the majority of this match it would be the League of Nations who had most of the control, mainly dominating Enzo Amore in the corner until finally somehow Enzo was able to duck a clothesline from King Barrett and then dive towards his corner to make the tag. Once Big Cass hit the ring he would fire up on the League Of Nations, dropping both men and even hitting a big boot on Sheamus as he hopped up on the apron. We would see King Barrett get leveled with a running big boot followed up by the Empire Elbow, however instead of going for the three count, Big Cass would tag in Enzo Amore as he scaled to the top rope. The duo would hit their finisher, the Rocket Launcher which led to Enzo and Cass able to get the three count.

‣ The camera would cut backstage now, seeing the WWE World Tag Team Champions, The New Day standing by a television as they would be watching Enzo, Cass, and Carmella celebrating. The trio would be shaking their heads before laughing. "They really think they're good just for beating the League of Scrubs? We've done that! Right?", Kofi would ask the other two. Big E now would look up before scratching his head and then looking back at Kofi, "Uh... no, but we never got to face them! Only reason why! Enzo and Cass still booty! Carmella is booty too!". After Big E said this, Xavier would nod before saying, "Exactly! Booty plus booty plus booty equals a whole lotta booty. Which is why they'll never beat us, they never could win the NXT Tag Team Championships, so come on let's just keep enjoying these Booty-O's and remember exactly why...", Xavier would pause before grabbing Francessa the II as he would begin to play the tune now world famous meanwhile Big E and Kofi would chant out, "New! DAY ROCKS! NEW! DAY ROCKS!".

‣ We would transition now to a recap of the interview that took place earlier tonight with Kevin Owens and Renee Young, recapping Kevin's warning to Sami Zayn about always watching his back from now on. The cameras then would cut to a hallway where Sami Zayn would be walking down, on his way to the ring before we cut to commercial break.

‣ Sami Zayn vs. Tyler Breeze As we came back from commercial break, the theme music of Sami Zayn would hit as the energetic superstar made his entrance down to the ring. Following Sami's entrance would be his opponent, another man who came from NXT as Tyler Breeze made his entrance. This match would be a lot like Becky Lynch versus Sasha Banks from earlier tonight where you knew it was going to be good just from matches the two have had prior. This didn't fail to deliver either as the two would look to tear the roof off of the Joe Louis Arena. Near falls would be exchanged several times, Sami Zayn would even take the flight in the air as he dove up and over the top rope to the floor onto Breeze at one point. The end of the match would come however as Breeze looked to hit Zayn with a Beauty Shot, however Zayn ducked it which set Breeze up to be lined up in the corner. This gave Sami the needed opportunity to charge in, and as he did he would bring his right leg up and hit a Helluva Kick which would send Tyler to the mat. Sami Zayn would follow him down, pinning him for the victory. After the match was over however, Sami's music wouldn't hit the Joe Louis Arena. Instead it would be the theme song of the Intercontinental Champion, Kevin Owens. Though after around ten seconds of no one coming out, the music would fade out and it would leave Sami standing in the middle of the ring confused. "It looks like Kevin Owens has started the mindgames on the road to KOMania for Sami Zayn!", JBL would exclaim over commentary now.

‣ From mindgames to recaps, we would transition to the commentary table where Michael Cole, JBL, and Byron Saxton began to speak about what happened as Monday Night Raw went live tonight. Clips of Shane McMahon's return were shown with finally the last thing being shown was Vince McMahon announcing who Shane would be facing at Wrestlemania. "At Wrestlemania Thirty Two we will see Shane McMahon step inside the Hell in a Cell to fight for the Control of the WWE against... The Undertaker.", following these words we would see a Wrestlemania 32 Match Card graphic now for the Hell In A Cell match on screen.

‣ AJ Styles vs. Alberto Del Rio The sound of Alberto Del Rio's music would hit in the Joe Louis Arena, which would bring in some boos for the League of Nation's member. His opponent's theme song would sound off, cheers flying in the building as AJ Styles would walk out. Once the match got under way it'd be a rather hard hitting match. Though while the technical aspect was very much there, the strikes in this match were what caught the eye. After a superkick to a kneeling Styles that sounded like a car crash, it looked to be all she wrote for the Phenomenal One, however AJ would kick out and keep the match alive. The end of the match would come as AJ Styles would look to catch Alberto with a Springboard Flying Forearm however Del Rio moved out of the way, quickly lunging in and locking in a Cross Armbreaker. AJ though wouldn't tap, instead the Phenomenal One would look to fight back, rolling onto his side before pushing himself to his feet while still in the hold. He would lift Del Rio off of the mat and even while in the Cross Armbreaker he'd deliver a big Styles Clash. AJ Styles would roll the two over, covering Alberto for the three count that gave him the win. Following the win, AJ Styles would slowly stand to his feet. His arm hurting and that being obvious as he was holding it. "Whoa-whoa-whoa WAIT A MINUTE!", Michael Cole would yell out. This coming as Roman Reigns would slide into the ring after hopping the guardrail. He would charge AJ Styles from behind, dropping Styles down to the canvas with a forearm before stomping away at The Phenomenal One. Reigns would shake his head after a minute or so of stomping before walking back to the corner, letting out a loud scream before driving his fist into the canvas as he waited for AJ to slowly rise to his feet. Once he did, Roman would bolt towards Styles, leaping up before dropping him with a rough Superman Punch. "What in the world is Roman Reigns doing this for?!", again Michael Cole would yell out over commentary. Reigns however was finished by any means as he would slide out of the ring and walk towards the timeskeeper area, stealing a steel chair from there before entering the ring again. He would grab a hold of the arm that Styles had previously been selling, after trapping his arm in the chair, Roman would get a scowl on his face before hitting the ropes, leaping into the air, and driving his right boot onto the chair crushing Styles's arm. The Phenomenal One would begin to roll around the ring in pain, but still Roman wouldn't be finished. Instead he would flip his hair backwards before returning to a corner of the ring, crouching down and now just staring across the ring at the wounded prey. Styles would slowly rise to his feet once more, stumbling back and forth for a moment before stumbling around. Just as this happened Reigns would charge forwards, spearing AJ Styles to the mat and leaving him laying for good. Roman Reigns would stand back up, his head down with his hair draping over his face. His right hand would flip his hair to the back of his head, his face looking out to one of the cameras, a scowl still on his face. "I have no idea what this was about, but Roman Reigns has just left The Phenomenal One laying and laying good.", JBL would call out. Roman now shaking his head before rolling out of the ring now, walking up the ramp slowly as the cameras cut back to AJ Styles still laying down and out in the center of the ring.

‣
After The Wyatt Family intro effect, we would see a dark eerie location. Braun Strowman, Erick Rowan, and Luke Harper would briefly be seen before they would part and in the middle rose Bray Wyatt. He would begin to laugh while looking down, his head slowly lifting so he would be looking directly into the camera with a creepy smile growing on his face. "Did I ever tell you the story of how the big bad wolf got slayed? Hahahaha. You see the three little pigs were killed but no not in vain, because along came a much scarier... a much badder wolf.... That wolf wasn't afraid, oh no, you see that wolf just growled and tackled the old wolf and scratched him and clawed him until the old wolf couldn't move anymore. Then finally the big bad wolf was dead, and all that was left was the blood on the new face of fear.... Ahahahahaha...", Bray would take a step backwards now, and as he did the three other members of the family would lift an unconscious Brock Lesnar up to his feet. Bray would lean in from behind, his head next to Brock's as he would continue speaking. "I was never afraid of being conquered, no-no, see I always knew that the Beast was nothing compared to the devil. Ahahahahhahaha. Tonight, Dean you're going to get a special meeting in hell on your way to Wrestlemania, but for Brock here... Well Brock's going to keep this meeting with the devil up, the Beast is going to remain getting put down. Can't kill you yet though, no-no. The devil has to save that for the perfect place, the biggest place where all eyes will be on the slaughter, the place they call Wrestlemania..... Hahahahahahaha.... RUN!", The Wyatt Family outro would play now before we faded black to a commercial break.

‣ Neville vs. Ryback Following the commercial break, we would be met with the Earth intro of Neville that plays right before his entrance. After the Man that Gravity Forgot made his way into the ring, he would be met with the music of his opponent for tonight, Ryback. Ryback would be coming off of a loss last night at the hands of the Wyatt Family, while Neville actually had some momentum under his belt. The match was much of what you thought it would be, power versus speed. Ryback would attempt to toss Neville around, but the Man That Gravity Forgot would always find a way to slip away and catch The Big Guy with a strike. We would see the finish come as Ryback would lift Neville up for the Shellshock, but before he could connect with it, Neville would slip away and onto the mat before hitting a big german suplex. Neville would follow up by scaling the top rope and leaping off, connecting with the Red Arrow which led to the pinfall.

‣ We would head back to ringside where Michael Cole, JBL, and Byron Saxton would begin to talk about what happened earlier tonight with The Phenomenal One, AJ Styles and Roman Reigns. A graphic would come up for Monday Night Raw and it featured a picture of Roman Reigns standing tall above AJ Styles with the caption reading, "Why Roman? Why?". Underneath that would be the caption "Next Week" and then we would hear Michael Cole say, "Next week we will hear from Roman Reigns, and hopefully we will find out exactly why he did what he did to AJ Styles.". After that graphic faded we then would see a Thursday Night Smackdown match card pop up featuring newly returned Sami Zayn versus the United States Champion, Kalisto in a non title match, however Michael Cole noted that the Intercontinental Champion, Kevin Owens will be on commentary!

‣ The theme music of Dean Ambrose would sound off over the Joe Louis Arena, much to the delight of the audience as they erupted into cheers. After making his way down to the ring, he would grab a microphone before standing tall in the middle of the ring. Without saying a word he would just point the microphone up towards the Wrestlemania sign in the air before getting a smirk on his face. "A little boy always had the dream of main eventing Wrestlemania, but when you grow up to be a scrapper, you never really see your dreams come true. So to say that come April Third at Wrestlemania Thirty Two, i'm going to be the main event is crazy. Which is funny, you think Dean Ambrose, you think crazy. When Triple H thinks Dean Ambrose, he thinks lunatic, when the Authority thinks Dean Ambrose, they think loser. Come Wrestlemania though, everyone in the world is going to think of me as one thing and one thing only! The Champ! Because if anyone for one second thinks that i'm walking out the same way i'm walking in, then you need the strongest reality check in the world. I am taking over as the face around here, and they don't like it! That's what every step of the way they've done their best to make sure it was always their guy on top! That's why I kept getting screwed left and right and left and right! It's alright though, Hunter. All this anger, all this bent up frustration comes to an end when I get my hands on you. That nose is going to get a bit bigger when my fist is pushing it towards your eyebrow, and that face is going to get all rearran--"

Dean Ambrose is suddenly interrupted by the sounds of The Wyatt Family intro, and after the lights would turn off in the arena. As they came back on, Braun Strowman, Erick Rowan, Luke Harper, and Bray Wyatt all would be on different aprons surrounding the number one contender. Bray would begin to laugh before screaming at Dean, "The world is coming to an end, and you're not going to make it just like the rest of these people! Aahahahahha!", as he yelled this Dean would just nod before rolling his neck and shrugging his shoulders before charging Bray. Before he could even hit him though, Luke Harper had entered the ring from behind and blindsided Dean from behind. This would only be the first shot as after, Braun and Erick joined Luke inside the ring in the beatdown on Dean Ambrose. Slowly Bray Wyatt would enter the fold as he watched his troops lay Dean Ambrose out, just kicking and punching the man with no intent on stopping at all. This all coming as laughter for Bray, the man laughing in the corner before motioning for them to hand Dean over. As they did, Bray would scoop Ambrose into a Sister Abigail but as Bray kissed his forehead and went to spin, Dean would push Wyatt away. However before he could get away it would be a vicious Discus Lariat from Luke Harper that dropped him back down. Bray Wyatt now wasted no time whatsoever in lifting The Lunatic Fringe back to his feet, this time fully hitting Sister Abigail on him and leaving him downed and out on the mat. Bray would then drop to his knees, his arms stretched outwards while the other three members posed behind him but as Bray went to yell something out, the theme music of Triple H would sound off. Bray's head instantly would turn towards the stage as he would begin to stand back up once the suited champion began to make his way down to the ring. Once The Game entered the ring, Bray had the other three members of the Family stand down and now we would see Triple H and Bray Wyatt go face to face. Triple H looking down towards Dean Ambrose while Bray looked at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Wyatt would begin to laugh in Hunter's face before taking a few steps backwards, leading the rest of the Family out of the ring. Meanwhile Triple H would walk over towards the downed Dean Ambrose, the right dress shoe pressing against the side of Ambrose's face as Triple H then would raise the WWE World Heavyweight Championship high into the air. Words were not needed whatsoever for the visual, it was Triple H showing he didn't even need to sweat to leave Dean laying, and while it was unfair that's how the game was played. The last visual we would see of Monday Night Raw would be Triple H still raising the championship high in the air, his head turning just slightly to observe the Wrestlemania sign as well. The credit now would come on the screen and we would fade to black ending the episode.

‣ Thursday Night Smackdown is coming from Indianapolis, Indiana, and with a big main event non-title match set tonight. Speaking of, the man who will be on commentary for the main event would have his music sound off, and the Intercontinental Champion, Kevin Owens would be on his way down to the ring. Once he reached the ring, he would grab a microphone before standing in the middle of the ring as he would slowly begin to speak. "First and for most, welcome to the Kevin Owens show. Now secondly, we're on the way to KOMania and apparently on that road there is a man who thinks and believes he is on that road too, but just like for years he's nothing more than in the shadow of my car on that road. If you don't know who i'm talking about, which you probably don't because lets be honest he isn't much to talk about, but if you don't know who i'm talking about it's... Sami Zayn. A man who can never seem to catch a break! I mean look at one year ago, Sami answered John Cena's open challenge! He shocked the world! Only to injure himself on the way down to the ring, but not before I injured him on NXT. Now let's look back to a few nights ago, he returns! He saves Dolph Ziggler just a little bit too late! Then the next night on Raw, I give him a warning but he doesn't take and it if you were on the WWE website, or on the WWE Youtube you would have saw exactly what happened to Sami Zayn! I, once again, I destroyed Sami Zayn backstage but here we are tonight! Sami's injured body will have to face the United States Champion, Kalisto. A match that you twitter nuts are going crazy over, which I can't blame you. It was going to be a great match, but hey, maybe Sami can't even show up now. Sami might not even make it to the bu---", Kevin Owens would be interrupted by the sounds of the theme music of Sami Zayn. The man competing in a match tonight would slowly walk out from the back. His normal chipper attitude was lessened, Zayn clearly in pain as he continued walking down to the ring as he entered the ring not afraid of Kevin at all. "I'm not going to be here tonight? See, Kevin, it seems that you forgot exactly who I am! I am Sami Zayn and I don't stop! I don't stop for no-one, and I certainly won't stop because of you!", Kevin would hear every word from Sami, and now he would raise his right hand up to get Zayn to shut up. However, Sami would slap the hand of Kevin Owens out of his face which caused Owens to take a step back his face looking pissed off now. "NO! THIS IS MY TIME! THAT'S GOING TO BE MY CHAMPIONSHIP! WRESTLEMANIA IS GOING TO BE MY NIGHT! The WWE is getting a whole lot more Inzayn!", as Sami said this Kevin couldn't help but to laugh slightly before shaking his head. "Are you done with the corny jokes? This fired up speech may work on the idiots here in Indianapolis, but Sami you know that I.... Could care.... Less.", Owens would drop the microphone now as he lunged towards Sami Zayn. His right knee rose up, driving into the abdomen of Zayn which dropped him to the mat. Quickly now Owens would continue the assault, clubbing the back of Zayn to lay him out fully. Right boots now continued to drive into the downed body of Sami however after a few kicks, the music of United States Champion, Kalisto would hit. The United States Champion would charge down the ramp, sliding into the ring and saving his future opponent from the attack seeing as Kevin Owens would roll out of the ring. "No-no, tonight i'll see you again! I'll be right back there on commentary!", after yelling this towards the two men in the ring Kevin would continue walking backwards up the ramp, shaking his head before the segment would end.

‣ Sin Cara vs. Stardust Speaking of the Lucha Dragons, kicking things off in our opening contest would be the other half of the tag team, as Sin Cara would make his way down to the ring. His opponent for the evening would turn out to be the leader of the Cosmic Key, Stardust. It was a rather thrown together opening contest for sure, but none the less these two looked to catch eyes on the road to Wrestlemania. After a good back and forth bout, Stardust would do just that as he countered Sin Cara into a Queens Crossbow for the three count. Following the victory however is where things would get a bit interesting as Stardust would be heard yelling at the downed Sin Cara. "I've slayed one dragon for the stars! Nooooooow hehehehehehehe! NOOOOOOOW ONE MORE TO GO! HISSSSS!". It was clear that Stardust was referring to Sin Cara's partner, the United States Champion, Kalisto. However as the Road to Wrestlemania you have to wonder who exactly is going to get a chance to challenge the champion for that gold.

‣ We now would cut to ringside where Byron Saxton, Jerry Lawler, and Mauro Ranallo would begin to talk about what took place just a few nights prior on Monday Night Raw. Specifically they would bring up the return of Shane McMahon, and as they discussed the return we would see the Wrestlemania 32 Graphic for the Hell In A Cell match between Shane McMahon and The Undertaker. Following that graphic, we would see a graphic for Monday Night Raw which showcased The Undertaker and we would hear Mauro Ranallo say, "Tune in next Monday as we have been told that The Undertaker will return to give his take on the historic Wrestlemania match that's been made!". After the big announcement that The Undertaker will be on Monday Night Raw, we would see the segment end.



‣ Backstage now, we would see Renee Young standing at an interview set. "Please welcome my guest at this time, Sasha Banks.", after introducing Sasha Banks, the Boss would step into frame and her attitude was that of being annoyed. "Now Sasha, this past Monday Night on Raw, you faced Becky Lynch in a match that many said whoever won would have a ticket straight to Wrestlemania. However as we all know, before the match could get a clear winner, it was the Divas Champion Charlotte who would end up spearing both yourself and your opponent, Becky Lynch. The match resulted in a no contest, so i'd just like to get your thoughts on the matter.", as she heard the question, Sasha would just shake her head before looking at Renee. "My thoughts? My thoughts are simple. Charlotte? She's afraid, she's scared that I was going to win on Raw, she's afraid that i'm going to take her Divas Championship. Let me be the first to say though, she has every right to be afraid, because I am. I'm going to Wrestlemania, and i'm going to show everyone exactly why I am the Boss of the WWE, and why I am your next Divas Champion.", Renee would nod before carrying on as she would then say, "Well before you can get to Wrestlemania, Sasha. I've been told that on Monday Night Raw we will see the rematch between yourself and Becky Lynch. This time it's official and the winner will go on to face Charlotte at Wrestlemania for the Divas Championship, so is there any pressure heading into Raw?", the question again left Sasha laughing, though the laugh quickly stopped as she would shake her head now. "The Boss doesn't feel pressure, so Monday Night, I walk in and prove once again that I can and will back up everything I say. Oh, and if Charlotte even thinks about getting involved, let me be the first to say that she won't be leaving Nashville on her own two feet.", once the final words were said, Sasha would turn and walk off screen to which Renee would send us back to ringside. First though a graphic for Monday Night Raw for the Number One Contenders match that was just announced was shown.

‣ Dudley Boyz vs. The Usos As we returned to ringside, a screeching noise would be heard as a few pieces of pyro hit the stage signalling that the Dudley Boyz were on the way to the ring. Though they were not the only brothers in this tag team match, as after they made their entrance, it would be the chanting entrance of The Usos that sounded off in Indianapolis. Before the bell could even sound however, we would hear a loud voice come over the sound system. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH INDIANAPOOOOOOOOOOOLIS! DON'T YOU DAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE BE SOUR! CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP! FOR YOUR WORLD FAMOUS TWO TIME CHAMPS! AND FEEEEEL THE POWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAH!", Big E's voice would be heard and right after the theme music of The New Day would hit. The trio would begin to walk out on top of the stage, however they would stop just before getting to the ramp. With a mic in hand, Xavier would be the first to speak now. "Don't mind us! We're just out here to scout!", Big E now would cut Xavier off quickly as he would yell out, "WE SEARCHIN' FOR BOOTY!". Kofi would even join in as he quickly would tell Big E, "Hey E, looks like we found two sets! AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!". "No-no! Seriously! It's Wrestlemania season, and even though we have beaten you both a dozen times, it's all about opportunity right?", after Xavier asked the question we would hear Big E and Kofi both say together, "Right-right.". "So tonight, consider us a fly on the wall! A ghost! Just spectating the scene, and seeing which booty team will rise to the top. So run along. Fight.", as Xavier said this, Jimmy Uso would shake his head before turning around. However as he turned around he would walk straight into a 3D from the Dudleyz who took advantage of the distraction the Tag Team Champions gave. With Jimmy down, Jey would charge Bubba Ray, going for a clothesline but Bubba would duck and pick the Uso into the air hitting a Bubba Bomb. That would give the Dudley Boyz a very quick pinfall, winning the match. The New Day would just begin to laugh on top of the stage, shaking their heads as Xavier would go to talk again. "Alright-alright! Looks like the Dudley Boyz know how to use a distraction! STILL BOOTY THO'! AHAHAHAHAHA!", while The New Day were laughing, The Dudleyz were certainly not and this was seen as the exited the ring and would begin ascending the ramp towards The New Day. "Whoa-whoa-whoa-WHOA! STOP! How about this! Land of opportunity right? How about on Monday Night Raw, we give you two a shot at the Tag Team Championships? BUUUUUUUUUUUUT! If you lose, you can't have another shot ever again, 'cause you're too damn booty! AHAHAHAHAHA", again The Dudleyz would keep their stern attitudes, continuing to ascend the ramp. The New Day would drop their mics, quickly leaving to the back but as The Dudleyz reached the top of the stage, Bubba Ray would reach down before picking up a microphone. "Deal.", it was only one word be he would drop the mic again, the Dudley Boyz music hitting once again as the winners of tonights match would leave to the back now, a Tag Team Championship match to prepare for.

‣ A Raw Recap video would begin to play following the last match. This time the recap would showcase The Phenomenal One AJ Styles and his match against Alberto Del Rio. After the big Styles Clash and victory, the footage would slow down with an effect as Roman Reigns would drill AJ Styles from behind. Next the footage of the Superman Punch was show, and then again an effect played as Roman went to ringside to grab a steel chair. It was almost like a glass shattering effect when Roman Reigns stomped down on the trapped arm of Styles, and then finally the last spear was shown before the video package would fade out. A graphic for Monday Night Raw now shown with Roman Reigns standing over top of AJ Styles from a few days ago, on the caption it would read "Why? Roman. Why?" and we would hear Jerry Lawler announce that Roman Reigns is set to explain his actions on an action packed night of Monday Night Raw.

‣ We cut backstage now to see Sin Cara, the United States Champion, Kalisto, and slowly Sami Zayn would also walk into the shot. All three men would be seen talking backstage in a locker room environment. "Thanks for the help out there, and tonight i'm one hundred percent positive that no matter what we're going to give everyone in the WWE a reason to talk. Question though, Kalisto. Are you sure you're okay with people starting to gun for you and that championship? I mean I don't mind giving a helping hand if anyone tries anything crazy, but with what Stardust did earlier to Sin Cara over there, it seems like you have people coming for you.", Sami would say to Kalisto with a bit of worry in his voice for his friend. With a smile on his face though, Kalisto would just shake his head. "It's all apart of the job though, you know that! Former NXT Champion! I appreciate the concern though, Sami. Tonight though, let's just focus on going out there and giving the WWE Universe exactly what they payed to see.", after saying this both Kalisto and Sami would smile before heading out of the locker room, leaving Sin Cara alone. However the United States Championship was still in Kalisto's locker, and now we could see Sin Cara slowly turn to look at the championship. Just as he would reach out with his right hand to grab the championship, Kalisto would come back into frame before patting his partner on the back. "Hey man, you coming out there tonight for the match?", after asking, he would grab his championship and then look at Sin Cara who shook his head no, before laughing. Kalisto would just nod before walking back out of the locker room, ending the segment with Sin Cara looking over at the now empty locker of Kalisto.

‣ Bo Dallas vs. R-Truth Returning back to ringside now, the theme music of R-Truth would hit and he would come out dancing and rapping away. The crowd still completely into the routine and once he reached the ring, ready to compete the sound of the Social Outcasts theme would hit. Though it would only be Heath Slater, Curtis Axel, and Adam Rose walking out onto the stage. "Now I know what you all are thinking! Where in the world is Bo Dallas?! Well don't worry, Truth, and don't you worry people, because allow me to introduce to you!", Heath would pause now, long enough for all three member of the Social Outcasts to turn and point towards the stage as Heath would yell out, "BO RIDA!". A few moments would pass though and no one would walk out from behind the curtain. Though that changing as Goldust, would begin to walk out dressed in Bo Dallas's singlet though the singlet just on top of his normal gold outfit. The three members of the Social Outcasts would look confused and now Heath would yell, "HEY! WHERE'S BO RIDA?!". Around this time, Goldust would reach the group, he would shake his head before saying into Heath's microphone, "I... I am Bo Rida!". The current trio would begin shaking their heads, Curtis Axel now yelling "NO YOUR NOT! YOU'RE THAT GOLD FREAK!". Goldust then would look around before shaking his head nervously. "No.. No... I'm Bo... Bo Rida.", almost instantly Heath would yell back, "No! You're Goldust!", and as Goldust heard his name mentioned he would look around on the ramp in panic before shaking his head and turning around to run away. The Social Outcasts as well as R-Truth left stunned and confused. "Well it was suppose to be Bo Rida facing Truth, but since.. well since he's not here... and I guess since we are NOOOOOOOW TREEEEEEEENDING! I can step up to the plate!", Heath Slater would drop the microphone and take off his group t-shirt and enter the ring. The match would now start, R-Truth facing Heath Slater one on one. It wasn't a technical five star classic by any means. Even after interference attempts from the Social Outcasts, R-Truth would battle back. Distractions or not when push came to shove, R-Truth would hit a Lie Detector which led to the three count ending the match.

‣ After cutting backstage once again, we now would see JoJo Offerman standing in a hallway holding a microphone in hand. Similar to the Renee Young and Sasha Banks interview from earlier in the night, JoJo would introduce her guest before we would see them. "Joining me now is my guest at this time, Chris Jericho.", after being introduced, Chris Jericho would walk into frame wearing a suit jacket but nothing underneath. With a smile on his face he would wait for JoJo to question him before speaking. "Chris, last Monday night we saw you take on the United States Champion, Kalisto in a winning effort. With Fast Lane clearly behind you now, what's next for Chris Jericho on the Road To Wrestlemania?", the smile on his face lessened slightly at the mention of Fast Lane however Chris would shake the comment off quickly. "What's next for the Road to Wrestlemania for Y2J? Easy question with an easy answer, you said it yourself that I beat the United States Champion on Raw last Monday, and JoJo I don't know if you're a historian but what's the one championship in the WWE that has always escaped me?", after the tables were turned and it was now JoJo being asked a question, she would pause for a second before slowly answering, "The United States Championship?". Chris would quickly respond back with, "Exactly, and Kalisto, with all the respect in the world I want you to know that The Ayatolla Of Rock N' Rolla, is putting his name in the hat for your championship! So with a win under my belt already, JoJo, it looks like I have the biggest stock right now for th-- Can I help you?", Chris paused now before being interrupted by someone off-screen. Instead of that person being revealed by walking on screen, we instead would just see a IPhone on a selfie stick come into frame. The camera panning slightly to the right to reveal, Tyler Breeze. "What, uggo? Can you help me? Yes, by finally staying away from this company once and for all. No one likes a nostalgia act anymore, and I especially don't care for uggos like you.", Chris would have a confused look on his face the entire time Breeze was speaking, however once Tyler finished speaking Chris would just begin to laugh. "Listen, junior. First off, don't ever interrupt one of my interviews again, ass clown. Second off, why the hell is your stick hairy?", after hearing the question, Tyler would get serious for a moment before shaking his head. "Real funny, uggo. I have you know this is the finest material a selfie stick can be made out of, but that's neither here nor there. In regards to this whole idea that you're going to be the next uggo in line for the United States Championship, real funny. That's going to be the Prince of Cuteville, but until then I guess you can sing a tribute to Aerosmith and dream on.", Tyler's attention then would turn to JoJo, looking at the interviewer for a moment before rolling his eyes and walking off camera mumbling the word uggo under his breath. Meanwhile Chris Jericho would be seen with JoJo still, Jericho's arms crossing slightly as he stared off into the direction Breeze went off in. "Consider those Wrestlemania plans a bit changed, JoJo.", the line would be simple but after saying this Chris would walk off screen as well ending the segment as we faded to commercial break.

‣ Non Title - Charlotte vs. Naomi Fading back in from commercial now, we would once again be ringside, and this time we would see Naomi standing in the ring ready for a match. Her theme music would play for a bit longer before cutting off, being replaced with the theme music of Divas Champion, Charlotte. She of course was accompanied down to the ring with her father, Ric Flair. The match would start off with the champion taking most of the offense, however don't let that fool you. Naomi would get a good counter in around the three minute mark and from there on out she took control of the match. She would even successfully hit the champion with her finisher the, Rear View. When Naomi went for the pin however, Ric Flair would play a big part in the match as he would put Charlotte's foot on the bottom rope without the referee seeing, causing the rope break. This shifted the momentum completely as Naomi would confront Ric near the ropes after this, allowing Charlotte enough time to recover and raise up to her feet. Naomi would turn around right into a unsuspecting spear from Charlotte, which would give the Divas Champion the victory. However as the bell sounded, it wouldn't be Charlotte's music that played. Instead it would be the theme music of, Sasha Banks. The self proclaimed Boss was on her way to the ring. When she reached the ringside area though, Sasha would get onto the ring apron but as she did, it would be the theme music of another woman that distracted both Charlotte and Sasha Banks. The theme music of Becky Lynch hit and the Lasskicker would bolt out from behind the curtain, running full force down the ramp and quickly sliding into the ring. She would charge Charlotte, but the Divas Champion just barely slipped out of the ring before being attacked. With a worried look on her face, Charlotte would slowly walk around the ring before walking backwards up the ramp. This left Sasha Banks staring right at Becky Lynch, and the Lasskicker was staring right back. The two women would continue the staredown for a moment, Mauro Ranallo reminding us on commentary about the Number One Contenders match that will be featured on Raw. Sasha would be the first to break the staredown, looking back towards the ramp as her gaze hit Charlotte. She wouldn't be the only one, as Becky Lynch as well would staredown the Divas Champion and the final sight on the segment that we would see, would be that of all three women in frame with the Wrestlemania sign in the background.

‣ Following the divas match, a commercial hyping up the WWE Network would play, showing off the fact that if you are a new subscriber you can get Wrestlemania for free. It would only be a quick little video, but that fact alone made trending headlines on twitter for the crazy announcement.

‣ After the WWE Network commercial, we would return to ringside to see Byron Saxton, Jerry Lawler, and Mauro Ranallo talking with one another. Mauro would transition into talking about what happened at the start of the night tonight. Clips of the Intercontinental Champion, Kevin Owens speaking as well as Sami Zayn were shown. Finally the last clip shown would be Owens going to attack Sami, but the United States Champion, Kalisto would make the save. Before the clip fully finished however, the segment was interrupted by a familiar sight and sound.

It was the intro of The Wyatt Family, and as it ended we would cut to see a dark location. The only light seemingly coming from a lone dim lightbulb. Slowly fading in we would see Braun Strowman, Erick Rowan, and Luke Harper standing in unison. The three men would part as Bray Wyatt would walk in from behind them, his head down with the brim of his hat over his eyes. "You know man, we're all put on this earth with a purpose! We all have a reason for being where we are, but what happens when someone steals your purpose? Ahahaha, what happens when someone does what you're suppose to do, better than you? You crumble. You let the thought linger in your mind until it completely takes over and then just like that you can't for the life of you get a grasp on reality again! Ahahahaha, now where oh where have we seen this recently? It certainly wasn't from when I warned you all! I warned each and everyone of you for weeks! For weeks! I told you all about the apocalypse, and you didn't want to listen. Ahahahahaha. You all looked at me like i'm some sort of crazy man! Like i'm insane! Trust me though, i'm not the one who does things over and over again expecting a different result. See, that person... that person is who you people call a Beast. You see, Brock Lesnar does the same thing every time you people see him. He tries to take everyone to suplex city, but what happened when Brock tried to take us to Suplex City? He was thrown from the Royal Rumble. He was taken away from the Fast Lane main event, and now he.... Ahahahahaha.... He had his purpose stolen! FOR YOU SEE NOW I AM THE CONQUEROR! I AM THE ONE WHO ENDED BROCK LESNAR. I. AM. BRAY. WYATT. Ahahahahahahaha.... and you people should..... run.", following the last word spoken from Bray Wyatt the screen would cut to black ending the segment as we headed to commercial break once again.

‣ Non Title - Kalisto vs. Sami Zayn It was main event time tonight on Smackdown, this becoming apparent as the theme music of the United States Champion, Kalisto would hit. The explosive entrance of the Lucha Dragon would hit, Kalisto charging down the ramp before leaping into the air and over the top rope. Once his entrance was over, Sami Zayn music would hit, and unlike earlier tonight he would come out a bit more chipper. Dancing along to his music on the stage before screaming out "Let's go!". Before these two could go however, the sounds of Intercontinental Champion, Kevin Owens would hit and the man would slowly walk down to ringside. He'd stare at the chair that was beside Byron Saxton, but instead of sitting there he'd grab the chair and roll it up a bit closer to the ring, sitting at ringside now but not joining the commentary team. After Owens got comfortable in the chair, Sami's attention would turn back to the United States Champion before the match would finally begin. Within minutes of the opening bell sounding, you knew that this was match of the night. Everything about it going off without a hitch, the back and forth switches of momentum. The crazy high risk moves being pulled off, for example at one point Kalisto would dropkick Sami Zayn up and over the top rope before diving out onto the Canadian. After a bit of battling on the outside, Sami would regain the momentum before rolling Kalisto back into the ring. Sami then would enter the ring, climbing up onto the middle rope before leaping up onto the top rope and diving onto Kalisto with a big crossbody. It would only result in a two count, but the battle continued on all the same. The finish of the match would come though as Sami Zayn would push Kalisto off of him as the United States Champion would go for a Salida Del Sol, but where Sami pushed Kalisto is where the difference would be made. It would be the corner of the ring, so as Kalisto spun around Sami Zayn would be right there with a big Helluva Kick that dropped the champion. Zayn would drop down, covering Kalisto and on the count of two, Kevin Owens would pull Sami Zayn out of the ring before throwing him into the steel steps. The referee would call for the bell, declaring Sami Zayn the winner of the match because of this. However, Owens didn't care at all, in fact he would pick Sami back up before lining him up on the outside. Quickly Kevin lifted Sami up into the air, looking for a Apron Powerbomb but before he could hit it, Sami would slip off of him. Kevin quickly spun around, only to be snatched up into an exploder suplex on the floor that sent shockwaves up and down Kevin's body. Sami would walk over, grabbing the Intercontinental Championship from the chair that Kevin was sitting in, and once he had the championship in hand, Sami would climb up onto the apron and then to the middle rope. He would begin to raise the championship high into the air, and you had to wonder if Sami Zayn would be the man to take that championship away from Kevin Owens, or would this just be another chapter in these two story where Kevin Owens dominates Sami Zayn. Regardless, the last sight we would see on Thursday Night Smackdown would be that of Sami Zayn posing with the Intercontinental Championship while Kevin Owens was laying down and out on the floor.

‣ Coming to you live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, Monday Night Raw has started! Kicking things off tonight, we see the camera pan around the arena before the music of Roman Reigns hit. As it did, the man was met with a crowd full of boos, not one single cheer it seemed like. Something this week was different however, instead of making his way down to the ring from the crowd, we saw Roman slowly walk out from behind the curtain. His walk was slow, his facial expression rather stone cold as he stopped at the top of the stage. Slowly looking around the Bridgestone Arena now, Roman would shake his head before continuing his descent down to the ring. As he walked down the ramp, we heard Michael Cole over commentary recapping what happened last week on Raw with Roman Reigns and AJ Styles. A quick video comes on screen, showing the attack from Roman, and after the video ended we cut back to live action. Roman would have just entered the ring, walking over to a side before being handed a microphone. It was finally time to hear exactly what was on the mans mind, and as he stood in the center of the ring his facial expression never changed. "Are you happy?", he asked in the microphone before looking around the Bridgestone Arena. "Is this what you finally wanted? Is this the reason you people boo'ed me for over a year? No-no, see I know the reason why you people boo'ed me. It's disgusting! Just because I didn't come from the places you people love, just because I didn't make a name for myself on the independent scene, you people think I cheated the system? Well let me tell each and every one of you something, if you think I cheated anything, you're damn wrong. You people used me for over a year as a scapegoat. Anytime something wasn't the way you wanted in this company, you go straight to social media, you'd blame me for everything wrong! You'd be angry with me for things I can't control, but you know what? I'm sick of it. I'm sick and tired of doing everything by the book! Everything! I put on that smile, I kiss the babies, I shake the hands, but still nothing ever pleases you people..... Nothing except independent stars. That's why at the Royal Rumble you all lost your minds when AJ Styles debuted! Right? That's why when Seth Rollins won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania Thirty One, you cheered! Right? That's why when Dean Ambrose won at Fast Lane, you cheered! Right? The list can go on and on and on and on, but the constant is that unless you went through the independents, you people don't give a damn. Unless your from the independents you people don't latch on to someone like you did with Daniel Bryan! Remember him? Yeah, remember Fast Lane a year ago when I beat him? You people boo'ed me, and why? Because I proved that I was the better man? Just like every other situation you people boo'ed me in, I was never in the wrong. You people were. So that leads us to last week, right? Why did I do it? That's the question everyone keeps asking. It's simple, instead of striving to do everything the Universe loves.... I'm going to take out each and everyone of your beloved independent talent. The people in this company who got cheered while I was boo'ed, and it starts with you AJ Styles. They call you the Phenomenal One, you've won titles all around the world, but here? Here you've done nothing. I'm a two time WWE World Heavyweight Champion, yet you still get considered as being better than me. Last week though? No. You were dropped, you were speared, you were simply demolished.... but... But i'm not done yet. No, see I want to prove everyone in the WWE Universe wrong. I want to show exactly why I am a former two time champion, and since i'm not main eventing Wrestlemania, and since you've got nothing on your plate AJ.... What do you say? Let me end you before you can even get fully started. Because I can guarantee that going forward, it's not about fighting injustice, it's not about being the Big Dog, it's not about you people, it's about me. It's about proving why i'm the best, and it's about making you all realize you were wrong.", as he paused now, Roman moved the mic down into one of his pockets. Slowly his hands come up to grab his tactical vest, and with a slow pace still about it, Roman took the vest off before dropping it on the floor leaving him topless. After the symbolic image was seen, Roman grabbed the mic back out before carrying on. "Remember what you had, because for now on things are going to go my way. The only way. Beli-- Nah, i'm done with the stupid catchphrases.", following this Roman drops the microphone down to the mat. His theme music hit again, and now Roman exited the ring heading back up the ramp. The final shot of the segment was a focused shot on Roman Reigns tactical vest sitting in the middle of the ring.

‣ WWE World Tag Team Championship Match - The New Day(c) vs. The Dudley Boyz Opening things off this week as far as matches would be a big match in itself. The Tag Team Championships were on the line, and after the screeching pyro of The Dudley Boyz hit, we saw the legendary duo on their way to the ring. JBL used this time to give a recap on what happened last Thursday Night on Smackdown to lead us to this match up, and just as he finished explaining is when the Dudleyz were awaiting their opponents in the ring. "AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWH NASHVIIIIIIIILLE! DON'T YOU DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE BE SOOOOOOUR! CLAAAAAAAAAP FOR YOUR WORLD FAMOUS TWO TIME CHAMPS! AND FEEEEEL THE POWWWWWWWWWWAH!", it certainly is a New Day, oh yes it is. After Big E gave his typical intro for the group, the trio would come from the back, on their way down to the ring. Once they were just stepping off the ramp and walking on ringside, we saw Xavier Woods with a microphone. "Alright-alright-alrigggggggggght! Dudleyz gone' learn today! Gone' learn about the real tag team champs today! I tried telling you guys on Smackdown, you and anyone for that matter can't beat us. We will be your forever..... W. W. E. WOOOOORLD. TAAAAAG. TEAAAAM. CHAMPIONS!", after saying this, Xavier drops the microphone onto the apron, Big E and Kofi Kingston now enters the ring as they were the two who faced off against the challengers. When the bell sounded, Big E and Bubba Ray started things off. The match was very much that of a brawl early on, neither team letting up on the other. We would even have a point in this match where Kofi Kingston was leveled with a 3-D, only for Big E to make the save, keeping the match alive. After that we finally see the end of the match up come as Xavier Woods distracted D-Von Dudley long enough so when he turned around, he'd be scooped up by Big E and hit with the Big Ending. Following the finisher, a three count comes and The New Day are still your WWE World Tag Team Champions. After the bell had sound, Xavier Woods grabs a microphone from ringside before joining his fellow teammates in the ring. "SEE! WE TOOOOOOLD YOU! EVERYONE IS JUST TOOOOOO BOOOOOOOTY TO BEAT US! But calm down, calm down. We're fair, we really are! We need a challenge, so on March Twelfth when the Road to Wreslemania gets a Roadblock, we are going to defend our W...W...E... WORRRLD. TAAAG. TEEEEAM. CHAMPIONSHIPS, AGAIN! We're even going to keep the opportunity open! You think you got what it takes to beat the New Day? Well on March Twelfth, cooooooome on down! It's going to be an open challenge, but just know after the match you're going to be known as nothing more than the rest of the teams in the division. BOOTY!". Following this big announcement, New Day left the ringside area and head to the back ending the segment.

‣ After the opening contest, we cut back to ringside to see Byron Saxton, JBL, and Michael Cole on commentary as always. "That's right ladies and gentlemen, live on March Twelfth only on the WWE Network, the WWE will bring to you a Network Exclusive event! On the Road to Wrestlemania, it seems like we've hit a Roadblock, and at the Roadblock event we now know that the WWE World Tag Team Championships will be on the line!", Michael Cole would say. Formally announcing the Roadblock event that is taking place in a few weeks. "Now I wonder who is going to answer that open challenge! So many great teams could have the opportunity of a lifetime.", as Byron Saxton said this, it was JBL who quickly transitioned us over to another match taking place tonight. "Speaking of opportunitys of a lifetime, tonight we find out whose going to Wrestlemania to face the Divas Champion, Charlotte! Will it be Becky Lynch or Sasha Banks?", following this being said, a match card graphic for tonight's Main Event was shown. "Also tonight in our main event we will see Dean Ambrose taking on Luke Harper, a match that came about after what happened last week on Raw.", after Michael Cole informed us about the main event, the feed cut to a recap video. The video being of the attack on Dean Ambrose last week by the Wyatt Family, and then afterwards the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Triple H came out and stood tall over the downed Ambrose. This ended the recap video, and after the feed faded to commercial break.

‣ Non Title Match - Kevin Owens vs. Zack Ryder As we came back from commercial break, the music of Zack Ryder was playing in the background as he stood in the squared circle ready to compete. First though we heard his ring introduction, then after his music faded out before the music of his opponent faded in. It was none other than the Intercontinental Champion, Kevin Owens however something was a bit different with his appearance. Instead of his typical "Fight Owens Fight" t-shirt, Kevin was wearing the t-shirt of another superstar, his rival Sami Zayn. It was obviously a mindgame being played here, but once Kevin was in the ring and the bell sounded it was clear that regardless what t-shirt he had on, Kevin was an animal in the ring. Forearm after forearm, punch after punch, and kick after kick. The champion was not letting up on Zack Ryder one bit, trapping the Long Island Iced Z in the corner before dropping him down to a seated position. It was here where Zack finally gets a counter in, and it was a pretty big counter at that. This coming as Kevin goes for a cannonball senton in the corner, only for Zack to roll out of the way at the last second. For the next few minutes, it was Ryder who took the fight to Kevin, not trying to have this opportunity slip through his fingers, as he knew it was Wrestlemania season and a win here could mean big things. However after dropping Owens with a dropkick, Ryder gets a bit too risky as he scaled to the top rope. Leaping off now, Zack looked to hit a 450 Splash on the champion, but Kevin rolls out of the way just at the right moment. Zack slowly stood to his feet following the crash, his hands on his gut which led to Kevin Owens getting a very easy superkick off. Following the superkick, Kevin picked Zack up off of the mat, whipped him towards the ropes before hitting a devastating Pop Up Powerbomb on him. This led to the three count being achieved, and Kevin Owens was the victor of the match. "You see that, Sami?! That's how you do it! That's how a champion wins matches! Take some notes!", after saying this, Kevin Owens began to laugh and exited to the back with his championship. The camera panning back over to the commentary table as Michael Cole announced, "Kevin Owens wearing a Sami Zayn t-shirt here tonight, and speaking of Sami Zayn make sure you tune in this Thursday Night on Smackdown as Sami Zayn is in action!". Byron Saxton now follows up on the announcement as a match card graphic for the match was shown on screen. "That's right, this Thursday Night we will see for the first time ever, Sami Zayn in action against Roman Reigns!". JBL of course had something to add on to this as he said, "This is going to be the first time since Roman Reigns attacked AJ Styles that he will be in action, and I can't wait to see that new aggression from Roman in action!"



‣ Cutting backstage now, we saw Renee Young standing at an interview set. With a smile on her face, she began to speak. "Renee Young here, and joining me is none other than the number one contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Dean Ambrose.". Before Dean Ambrose even stepped into frame, the Bridgestone Arena could be heard yelling with joy. Those cheers growing once he finally stepped into frame, and with a roll of his neck he awaits Renee's question. "Dean, it was a week ago when you were set to face The New Face of Fear, Bray Wyatt. Before the match could get underway though, The Wyatt Family jumped you, using the numbers game to take you out. After the attack though, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Triple H came out and stood tall over you to end Monday Night Raw. Tonight though, you are set to face Luke Harper in the main event, any thoughts on The Wyatt Family or Triple H?", as he heard the question, Dean nodded his head before balling his hands into fists. "I got a lot of thoughts, thoughts of putting my fist into the face of Triple H over and over and over and over and over and over again, until I take that WWE World Heavyweight Championship from his cold, dead hands. That's got to wait though, that beating is for Wrestlemania Thirty Two, but tonight?! Tonight, I get one of the Wyatt's. Luke Harper! I'm going to tell you like it is, bud. Tonight I don't care if you bring the whole damn family, because tonight I get a little bit of this frustration out, and I won't be put down a second time. Oh, and Triple H? I dare you to come out when i'm standing tall in that ring, because the way I see it? You're scared to go face to face with the Lunatic.", once Ambrose said this he flashes a small grin before walking off screen, leaving Renee standing alone. Renee Young then sent us back to the arena as the interview concluded.

‣ King Barrett w/Rusev vs. Neville Once the interview concluded, we headed to a commercial break. After returning from the break, on the titantron we saw Neville's graphic appear. The Man That Gravity Forgot was on his way down to the ring, his momentum riding high after a big win last week on Raw against, Ryback. Tonight his opponent was the man he faced last year in the King of the Ring finals, King Barrett. Barrett was not be alone however as accompanying him was fellow League of Nations member, Rusev. As the match got underway, it appeared Neville takes the lead early on, however as he was coming off the ropes to charge at Barrett, Rusev trips Neville. This led to the King of the Ring, to be able to catch Neville with a clothesline. From there it seemed Barrett keeps the unfair advantage, as any time Neville seemed to get even a little bit of offense in, Rusev ends up costing him it. That changed though as Barrett charged Neville with a big boot later on in the match, only for The Man That Gravity Forgot to duck down, forcing Barrett up and over the top rope. Rusev catches his stablemate, but they both had their eyes off of Neville who came diving up and over the top rope. He comes crashing down on both men, and before the count of ten, Neville rolls Barrett into the ring before ascending to the top rope. It wouldn't be long now before Neville dove off, hitting a big Red Arrow that gave him the pinfall victory. After the match, we briefly hear Michael Cole preview us for whats up next on Raw, that being the Chris Jericho Highlight Reel, featuring the United States Champion, Kalisto.



‣ Ten!...Nine!...Eight!...Seven!...Six!...Five!...Four!...Three!...Two!...One! BREAK THE WALLS DOWN! The pyro hit the stage and out from the back came Chris Jericho. He looked excited as ever, and after a few "Come on baybay!", he made it to the ring, ready to host The Highlight Reel. "Welcome everyone to RAAAAW! IS! JERRRRICHO! On the agenda tonight is simple, The Highlight Reel is back baby, and what a guest we have tonight! So let's go ahead and bring him out, he is the United States Champion, he is Kalisto!", after the introduction from Chris Jericho, the theme music of Kalisto hit the Bridgestone Arena and the United States Champion was on his way to the ring. As he reached the ring, Kalisto is given a microphone as well. "First off i'd like to thank you for coming on The Highlight Reel, and now let's break the ice. How are you doing, Kalisto? Before you answer though, let me be a bit more clear. How are you doing, knowing that it's Wrestlemania season and you have a pretty big target on your back?", Jericho paused now, and just as Kalisto was about to speak, Y2J cut him off. "A target so big by the way, even a nine time Intercontinental Champion has his eyes set on it... I mean, i've already beaten you once, Kalisto. So what do you say? How about at Wrestlemania we see the United States Championship on the line, as Kalisto defends against...", this time before Chris Jericho could finish he was interrupted, however by the theme song of another superstar. "LOOK EVERYONE! IT'SSSSSS TYYYYYYYYLER!", the music played over the sound system as Tyler Breeze was on his way down to the ring. He was dressed ready to compete and as he entered the ring he walked over until he was standing between the two men. Taking a few selfies now, Breeze then walked over to grab a microphone of his own before returning back in between the other two men. "Are you uggos done yet? Chris, I told you on Smackdown that if anyone is getting a shot at the United States Championship, it's going to be me. Soooo, that brings me, the King of Cuteville to you, a man who hides his disgusting face behind a mask. Tonight, I show why I deserve that gold around my perfect waist because right now? Right now it's going to be Tyler Breeze versus Kalisto.", Breeze dropped the microphone down now, backing into a corner as he stared across the ring at the United States Champion. However before any match began, Chris Jericho carried on talking. "Alright, before this assclown decided to interupt me on my own show, back to what I was saying. Wrestlemania, Chris Jericho versus Kalisto for the United States Championship, sound good?", Kalisto heard the question loud and clear but as he went to speak, Tyler Breeze charged towards him. The United States Champion noticing it though, and was able to duck underneath Breeze, then quickly spinning around to kick him in the gut. Following the kick to the gut was a dropkick to Tyler's chest, sending the King of Cuteville falling to the outside, and now Kalisto turned his attention back to Chris Jericho. "I'll tell you after this match.", the champion said, which resulted in Chris Jericho nodding his head. With Breeze on the outside of the ring and a referee now entering the ring, the match looked as if it was getting under way after a commercial break.

‣ Non Title Match - Kalisto vs. Tyler Breeze As we returned from commercial break, Tyler Breeze was back in the ring and had the United States Champion in a headlock on the mat. Though with the claps from the fans, Kalisto found a way to rise up to his feet, hitting Breeze's gut a few times before pushing the blonde off into the ropes. After a leap frog then a drop down, Kalisto caught Breeze with a deep armdrag followed up with a Baby Hurricarana that spiked Breeze's head into the canvas. The offense of Kalisto only picked up from here, getting quicker and quicker as the time passed. It wouldn't take long for the high flying offense to kick in either as Kalisto hits a springboard crossbody on Tyler Breeze. The high risk offense ended up costing Kalisto however as he went for a diving crossbody from the top rope, only to be caught out of thin air with a dropkick. It was that dropkick that flipped the momentum and now Tyler Breeze kept control of the match for the next good bit. Until the end of the match came, and Kalisto got a quick counter followed up by a flurry of kicks. However he goes to the well one too many times, as the United States Champion sprung off the middle rope looking for another crossbody, only for Tyler Breeze to catch him with a Beauty Shot. That finishing move getting Tyler the three count, and it looked all but uncertain for Kalisto's Road To Wrestlemania. With not one, but now two men defeating him, what could be next for the United States Champion? Right now it appeared that it was Breeze trying to take the mask off of him. However to Kalisto's rescue was, Chris Jericho as he slid into the ring before hitting a Codebreaker on Tyler Breeze, leaving him laying. A few moments later, Kalisto slowly rose to his feet before nodding towards Jericho as a way of saying thank you. Out of nowhere though, Jericho lunged towards Kalisto and dropped the Champion with a Codebreaker as well. "I don't do well with waiting.", Jericho said as he crouched over the hurting Kalisto. Now even more the Road To Wrestlemania for the United States Championship looked confusing, but for now the only sight to be seen was Chris Jericho standing over the United States Champion and Tyler Breeze as the segment ended.

‣ Byron Saxton, JBL, and Michael Cole returned on screen now as the announcers would briefly discuss what just happened. After the discussion transitioned to what happened at the start of Monday Night Raw with Roman Reigns. A few clips of what he said were shown and after the match card graphic for Smackdown between Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns was shown again. After though, another graphic for Smackdown was shown. This time it was AJ Styles on screen, and the caption read "AJ Styles Responds". "For the first time since last Monday Night on Raw, we will see AJ Styles live! We've been told he has his answer for Roman Reigns, and this Thursday Night on Smackdown he plans on giving it.", once Michael Cole said this we then would hear Byron Saxton. "We've also been informed that Dolph Ziggler will be out of action for a few weeks, he's still recovering from the post match attack that the Intercontinental Champion, Kevin Owens pulled at Fast Lane. We hope he has a speedy recovery, and can't wait to see him back in action."



‣ Enzo and Cass vs. Social Outcasts(Curtis Axel and Heath Slater) Another tag match was set to take place tonight, though unannounced. So it was much to the delight of the crowd when the theme music of, Enzo and Cass hit. Enzo Amore, Colin Cassady, and Carmella made their way down to the ring, doing their typical intros but before Cass could spell it out for us, the trio was interrupted by the theme music of another group. The Social Outcasts strutted out on stage, throwing low brow insults to the NXT tag team, while Bo Dallas tried to motivate the trio for never being able to win the NXT Tag Championships. However once the match actually began, the Social Outcasts, mainly Curtis Axel realized that Enzo and Cass were nothing to mess with. Reason being that Axel ran straight into a Big Boot by Cass, followed up by an Empire Elbow Drop. Slater tries to run in to break up the pin, but Enzo Amore was right there to stop him, protecting the three count for Enzo and Cass to pick up the win successfully.



‣ Almost as soon as the bell sounded, we were met with the intro from The Wyatt Family. As it went off, we saw the same dark eerie location that we were use to for these Bray Wyatt talks. Only now instead of seeing the whole family, it was only Bray Wyatt standing in the smoke. "Ahahahahahaha.... See, it takes a wise man to know when you have the world in the palm of your hands. To know when you have the power to destroy everything! Hahahahahaha.... I'm a wise man, and this wise man once said to run... Did you listen? Ahahahaha... No. You decided to stare at the carnage caused like some sort of tourist attraction! You decided to take pictures and tell your friends about what Bray Wyatt did! But because of that... You were taken out too... Tonight, the apocalypse comes full circle! For I have released the kraken! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! I HAVE RELEASED THE BEAST! He's here.... Ahahahahaha.... You can run if you want to.... But he'll catch you..... Are you afraid? Ahahahahahahahahaha...... You should be.", after the laughter the screen flashed the typical Wyatt Family outro before heading to commercial break.

‣ Returning from commercial break, Michael Cole quickly informed us that up next was the Number One Contenders Match for the Divas Championship. After leading us in, a video played now recapping how we got to this point. The video starting all the way back to last summer when Becky Lynch, Charlotte, and Sasha Banks all made their debuts. The video fast forwarded to Night of Champions, where Charlotte dethroned Nikki Bella to win the championship. Another fast forward and now we were at the Royal Rumble, showing Charlotte defeating Becky Lynch by cheating but none the less defeating the Lasskicker. With one final fast forward we saw what took place last week on Monday Night Raw, Becky Lynch facing Sasha Banks and before the climax of the match, Charlotte took them both out with a spear. The final line of the video was from the interview Sasha Banks gave on Smackdown saying that she was the one going on to Wrestlemania.

‣ Number One Contendership For The Divas Championship - Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks As the video faded out we were met with the theme music of, Sasha Banks. The self proclaimed Boss of WWE made her way down to the ring, and the announcers were trying their best to give this a big fight atmosphere. It was a shot at Wrestlemania, and seeing as it'd be the first singles match the Divas Championship was on the line at Wrestlemania in quite some time, it was a big deal. Becky Lynch's music hit the Bridgestone Arena much to the delight of the crowd and once the Lasskicker made her entrance it was finally time to see who was going to Wrestlemania. Similar to last week, we saw these two divas tear things up. Early on trading off armdrags, dropkicks, even snap suplexes. It wouldn't be until Sasha Banks slipped out of a german suplex attempt that one gained control for a long period of time. This coming as Sasha dropped Becky with a back suplex followed up by mounting her and starting to send lefts and rights down. Seeing as they were closed fists, the referee pulled Sasha off, giving Becky enough time to regain her footing. Though Sasha lunged back in after her, only for Becky to counter with a double leg takedown and now sending closed fists of her own. "Becky and Sasha are showing right now how much that Wrestlemania spot means to them and I love it maggle!", we heard JBL over commentary, and he was right. They were pulling out all the stops on the Road to Wrestlemania. The back and forth offense continued for the majority of the match, the finish coming off of something rather risky. Both divas scaled to the top and middle ropes, and after fighting briefly, Becky Lynch locked Sasha Banks into a suplex, sending both of them downwards and they crashed onto the ringside mats on the floor. Having just hit an insane superplex to the floor, both divas were out and hurting. Neither one of them even moving until the count of eight, where finally we saw Becky show some life in her. However it was too late, she wouldn't make it in time for the count to be stopped, meaning the referee called for the bell ending the match as a double count out. Both women remained on the ground, hurting and we even saw Becky Lynch collapse back down to the floor mat. "We might need some help out here, that fall was bad.", Michael Cole addressed on commentary. The medics began to come from the back, two stretchers being wheeled out and now both Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks were placed on separate stretchers. However as they were wheeled towards the stage, both divas began to fight to stand up on their own. Limping, then turning to face one another for the first time since the suplex. With pain in their eyes, they both looked to their right, eyes toward the Wrestlemania sign. Slowly turning their heads back, looking each other in the eyes and now Becky Lynch reached out with her right hand looking to show respect. A few moments passed before Sasha appeared to want that handshake, but just before the shake happened, the Divas Champion, Charlotte music hit and she strutted out to the top of the stage. The title around her waist and a grin on her face while her microphone was in her right hand. "Well-well-well, what do we have here? Two potential challengers for my championship, and they can't even beat each other. How do you expect to beat me? How do you expect to beat the dirtiest diva in the game? Don't worry though, because I have a nice little surprise for you two. Thursday Night! Thursday Night on Smackdown we will once and for all find out the number one contender for the Divas Championship! How though? It seems you two can't have a clear winner in a normal match, so I did you both a favor. I talked to Stephanie McMahon, and she thought my idea was great! So on Thursday Night Smackdown, we will see Becky Lynch face Sasha Banks.... inside a steel cage! Have fun, girls. I'll be waiting to see which one I get to embarrass at Wrestlemania.", Charlotte then dropped the microphone before waving at the two challengers. Becky and Sasha now turning to look back at each other, a look of shock on their face but they knew they were ready. "Smackdown gets even bigger on the Road To Wrestlemania, a steel cage match? Count me in!", Byron Saxton said excitedly as the match card graphic appeared on screen.



‣ "Up next though, we will see the return of The Undertaker! It will be the first time we've seen the Deadman since Survivor Series, and with it being Wrestlemania season this truly is a different Undertaker. Not to mention the stakes that effects the entire World Wrestling Entertainment inside this match, let's take a look at how this all came to be though., Michael Cole said on commentary as now a recap video showing what happened last week on Raw. Shane McMahon's return to the WWE, and after interrupting the Vincent J. McMahon Legacy of Excellence award, we found out that at Wrestlemania 32 it will be Shane McMahon versus The Undertaker inside a Hell in a Cell. If Shane McMahon wins, he gains control of the WWE.

‣ After the video, a commercial break came though as we returned a loud gong hit in the Bridgestone Arena. The lights going dim as The Undertaker slowly made his way down to the ring. The dark tone of his entrance remaining through the years, and tonight was no different. As he finally reached the ring and had a microphone in his hands it appeared he was about to speak when he was interrupted. "HEREEEEEE COMEEEEES THE MONEEEEEEEEEEEEEY! HERE COMES THE MONEY!", the opening lyrics of Shane McMahon's theme playing however after few seconds of waiting we didn't see Shane McMahon on his way out. Instead it was the Chairman of the WWE, Vince McMahon. Coming out with his typical strut down to the ring, Vince had a smile on his face the entire time. Meanwhile inside the ring, The Undertaker kept the same emotion on his face, once that was ice cold. Vince was sharing a ring with the Deadman and as he was handed a microphone it appeared he was sharing mic time as well. "Since no one else will give you an introduction you deserve, I guess I will. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you, my best creation to date.... THE UNDERTAKER! Now last week, I did something without asking, which to be fair I need to question nobody, however I realize now how it may have came off. So, Undertaker, i'd like to extend an apology to you. I'm sorry that I put you in the predicament to be the one who will end not only the career of Shane McMahon, but also the life of Shane McMahon! April Third! April Third we will see you inside the Hell in a Cell putting a beating on Shane. A beating like he's never received. You're going to send him straight to hell and show once and for all why Vince McMahon is the only one made to run this company. No one is more powerful than me! I proved it each and every time! You challenge me, you lose. It's that simple, and finally at Wrestlemania I will no longer have a black sheep in my family. Finally once and for all I will get rid of Sh--", his long rant was suddenly interrupted by The Undertaker. That interuption coming as 'Taker would move his right hand up, grabbing a hold of Vince's throat almost like he was going to chokeslam him. "The blood of your son is on your hands. Wrestlemania Thirty Two, he will.... rest.... in..... piece. Tonight, let me remind you Vince, Wrestlemania is in my hands. Your world is in my hands, and I can crush it if I please, or I can be the one who ends your own flesh and blood. Think long and hard, Vince. Which side am I on? Who do I think is the better leader for the company I never left?", in a flash 'Taker dropped the microphone and lifted Vince McMahon into the air. Driving the Chairman down to the mat with a chokeslam, and now The Undertakers music played again as the Deadman exited. Leaving Vince McMahon laying, and now it appeared that Wrestlemania once more has gotten another twist.

‣ "Wh-what did we just see here? The Undertaker has just chokeslamed Vince McMahon, and basically has said that he has the fate of the WWE in his hands.", Michael Cole said as the cameras cut back to ringside. The commentators began to discuss what just went down, also discussing the ramifications of what The Undertaker has said. After Byron Saxton announced that next week on Monday Night Raw we will see Shane McMahon live. A graphic coming up to further drive the point home, though after the graphic we saw another graphic for Monday Night Raw featuring Dean Ambrose versus Luke Harper, with the caption reading "Up Next".

‣ Dean Ambrose vs. Luke Harper We returned from commercial break to hear and see that familiar Wyatt Family intro. After though it was Luke Harper on his way down to the ring. He was by himself however, no other members of The Wyatt's with him. However they may have been needed as out of nowhere, Dean Ambrose came bolting down the ramp with a steel chair in hand. Swinging wildly now, Luke Harper wouldn't see it coming as Ambrose drove a chair into his back. The shot stunning Harper as the lights in the arena turned bright again, the crowd cheering as Ambrose began to unleash chair shots on Harper. One after another, not stopping until the former Intercontinental Champion was on the ground. Even then Dean Ambrose swung the chair over and over again, hitting him along the ribs. Finally once his onslaught was over he tossed the chair into the ring before entering and setting the chair into a seated position. The chair was facing the stage and now we heard Ambrose scream out, "TRIPLE H! COME OUT HERE YOU SON OF A BITCH!". He dropped down to a seated position in the chair and as he did the lights went dark. A moment or so passed and the lights came back on. The ring was surrounded now by Braun Strowman, Erick Rowan, a hurting Luke Harper, and finally Bray Wyatt. Dean stood to his feet now, picking up his steel chair as he slammed it a few times on the mat. "COME ON IN THEN! COME ON!", he screamed at the members but before they entered the ring, all five men were distracted as the theme music of the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Triple H played. Wearing a suit as always, the champion walked out on stage with a smirk on his face. He began walking down to the ring, meanwhile each four of the Wyatt's were standing on each side of the apron. Dean Ambrose of course stood in the middle of the ring, but just as Triple H walked to the middle of the ramp, another theme song hit. "OH MY GOD! THAT'S! THAT'S THE BEAST! BROCK LESNAR IS HERE!", Michael Cole screamed out as Brock Lesnar walked out on stage. Now everyone confused and with a serious look on his face, Lesnar began to charge down the ramp. Instead of just walking right past the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar instead double legged Triple H before dropping hammerfists down on the champion. As this happened it caused just enough distraction for Ambrose to charge Bray Wyatt, cracking the leader in the gut with a chair which dropped him off of the apron. Bray took a few steps backwards only to have Brock Lesnar realize, the Beast charging Bray Wyatt from behind now, quickly locking him into a german suplex as he dropped him as well. Braun Strowman, Erick Rowan, and Luke Harper began to walk near where Brock was, but as the remaining three members stood side by side, it was Dean Ambrose who dove off of the top rope, dropping a elbow drop onto all three Wyatt members, dropping them all. After returning to his feet, Brock Lesnar and Dean Ambrose now were the only two who stood tall. However much to the surprise of Dean Ambrose, The Beast picked him straight up onto his shoulders, dropping him with a F-5. "Brock Lesnar has just shown up on Monday Night Raw and absolutely dominated! Not a single man left standing from this attack!". The last sight of Monday Night Raw was none other than Brock Lesnar standing tall over everyone, a smile on his face and now the feed faded to black.
