* Dean Ambrose kicks off RAW to a big pop. He hits the ring for the first ever episode of "The Ambrose Asylum" and talks about current events. Ambrose introduces his guest and out comes Shane McMahon for another huge pop. Shane talks about how he's here for the fans but Kevin Owens interrupted. Sami Zayn and Chris Jericho also interrupted. This led to Shane announcing at PAYBACK that it would be Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho vs. Dean Ambrose. Shane said since everyone wants to fight then he is going to let them fight, right here, in this very ring tonight! Shane announces a double main-event of Sami Zayn vs. Chris Jericho and Dean Ambrose vs. Kevins Owens for tonight.


1 - Chris Jericho defeated Sami Zayn clean with the Codebreaker.


* Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson interrupt a backstage AJ Styles interview with Rene Young. They greet each other and exchange pleasantries. Gallows and Anderson make it clear that at PAYBACK they have Styles back.


2 - Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady come out to a huge pop and cut great promos about things you can not teach and being sawft. Enzo and Cass defeated The Dudley Boyz to advance in the tournament.


* WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns comes out to deafening boos. He cuts his promo about how he isn't a good guy, he isn't a bad guy but that he is "the guy". AJ Styles interrupts. AJ talks about their match at PAYBACK and how he will leave with the title. Out of nowhere, Anderson and Gallows attacked Reigns and layed him out to a massive unreal pop. Styles watched from the foot of the ramp as they laid Reigns out with the Magic Killer (slik note: I have no idea what that move is).


* Backstage segment with Reigns and Styles, who says he had nothing to do with Anderson and Gallows attacking Reigns in the ring


* Dolph Ziggler comes out for commentary


3 - Baron Corbin defeated Fandango, who got a big pop. Corbin had sent Fandango into Ziggler earlier, so Ziggler attacked Corbin after the match and got laid out at ringside by Baron.


* - Promo for Epico/Primo being from Puerto Rico.


* WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz is out with Maryse for "MIZ TV". Cesaro is the guest but they're interrupted by Sheamus, Rusev and Alberto Del Rio. WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day also come out to a deafening pop. This leads to a match via Shane McMahon.


4 - The New Day and Cesaro vs. The Miz and The League of Nations is next. Fans chanted for King Barrett early on. Cesaro got the win for his team after hitting a Neutralizer on Sheamus.


* Backstage segment with Natalya and WWE Women's Champion Charlotte. Natalya reveals she will get her title shot at PAYBACK and her uncle, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart, will be in her corner to counter the Nature Boy "Ric Flair".


5 - Natalya, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch and Paige defeated Tamina Snuka, Naomi, Summer Rae and WWE Women's Champion Charlotte when Charlotte tapped out to the Sharpshooter.


* Another promo for Epico/Primo being from Puerto Rico.


6 - Vaudevillians making their RAW debut against Usos for the tag tournament is next. The Vaudevillians defeated the Usos clean via painfall to advance to the finals of the #1 Contenders tag team tournament. They will face Enzo and Cass in the finals.


* Promo video for Apollo Lashley Crews


* Backstage segment with Apollo Crews and the Social Outcasts


7 - Apollo Crews defeated Heath Slater. The other Socials Outcasts were at ringside except Adam Rose b/c he did drugs baby drugs.


* Commercial for WrestleMania 33 coming to Orlando, FL on April 2nd, 2017


* AJ Styles will be the guest on MIZ TV this week on SmackDown


8 - Dean Ambrose vs Kevin Owens is the main-event. Ambrose pins Owens clean after hitting a dirty deeds. Post-Match Chris Jericho runs into the ring and hits the codebreaker on Dean Ambrose. Jericho is wearing a vest and scarf. Chris Jericho stands triumphantly over Dean Ambrose as RAW goes off the air.

I agree. I like Ambrose and all. Think he's generally good/comfortable on the mic. Seems really lame when he tries to play that gimmick though. Noticed it starting when he was feuding with Triple H and was trying to act like he plays by his own rules. Felt forced.

I really think WWE should have a sit-down with NJPW, ROH, and whoever else is involved with The Bullet Club and see if they can work out some deal to use that.


Instead of having to create a semi-spinoff of them with their newly acquired former members.

Emperor Smeat
04-18-2016, 08:47 PM
Considering the WWE-ROH feud started because of a Kevin Steen action figure, doubt the WWE is going to give up anything in a deal that doesn't benefit them the most.

I'm actually intrigued by the AJ Styles/Roman Reigns/Bulletproof tease stuff.

Really glad that they're putting the Tag Team Tournament Finals on the Payback card. It makes just qualifying for the Tag Titles feel important. I'd leave New Day off the card, maybe confront the winners. You don't need them wrestling every show -- they are over enough as it is, and you can use their matches as special attractions to a degree.

Looks like we'll be getting:

* Roman Reigns vs. AJ Styles for the World Title, likely with Bulletproof/Usos interplay
* Chris Jericho vs. Dean Ambrose
* Charlotte vs. Natalya for the Women's Title
* The Miz vs. Cesaro for the IC Title
* Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn
* Baron Corbin vs. Dolph Ziggler
* Enzo & Cass vs. The Vaudevillains
* Becky Lynch vs. Emma in the Kickoff Match

Pretty good PPV card. I like that there is some genuine mid-card stuff. Not every PPV needs to be stacked with your Cena's, Orton's or Brock's. Lynch vs. Emma, Owens vs. Zayn, Charlotte vs. Nattie, Jericho vs. Ambrose and even Reigns vs. Styles could all be barnburners. The other matches will deliver too.

Michael Cole actually did a good thing by mentioning that Simon Gotch was trained by Harley Race and Daniel Bryan. I take Gotch a lot more seriously now.

I gotta be honest I like Reigns "I'm the guy" speech I feel like its the sort of thing that he could carry with him heel or face with a bit better delivery. He almost feels tweenerish right now, a bit like hes above being good or bad hes just cocky and do with that what you will. It will be interesting to see if they pull the trigger and turn him heel or just let the fans pick there reaction like they did Cena.

I really want to see AJ win but it just isnt going to happen.

Sami Zayn with the move of the night by slamming hard enough on the desk to cut off Coles mic.

They're having Reigns hammer that point home too much. I'd rather see a more organic delivery of the attitude. He did well on RAW though. AJ Styles is a better talker though.

The phrase is dumb. He needs to stop saying it because he has no feel for timing and it's not clever.

Ok Raw, some good matches. Don't like the Tag Tounament. Made WWEs tag teams look weak. Not digging Corbin either. Crews is good but I feel he had more to do in NXT.

Really hope AJ comes around to Gallows and Anderson's ways. Could use it as way to bring up Finn if he doesn't go along with them. Really like the name Bulletproof for them and hope all 4 of them a apart of it.

Hate the new Cesaro. He was so cool before but now I just don't like the suit. It looks like a cheap prop from an indy show. I get the Swiss Supperman thing but where in the hell did the 007 thing come from. It was cool his first night back but feels over done now. Although the New Day reveal was pretty good but that segment wasn't.

Simple, that second paragraph will ring true. Bullet Club v.s. The Shield looks to be the money for this summer. I want to see some violence, that is where it'll come from

Flipped through it.....

Holy shit Maryse :)
Cesaro/Miz should be good
Enzo n Cass are great
Y2KO needs to be formed to protest Shane
How long before we get Team Shane vs Team Authority for controll of things.

That would be interesting, but I dunno if they'll go with that. We haven't had a good long face run in quite a while. I expect face reigns to hold it til summerslam at least.
Is Reigns really a face?

Hope it's soon and Shane loses but somehow retains control without explanation.

He's supposed to be, but the fans are correct to rail against that kind of #WWELogic as far as Reigns goes.

Wonder if we'll get War Games for control of the company at Extreme Rules? :shifty:
