SPOILER: show


* 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.

Have The Dudleyz and Enzo and Cass gotten physical at all yet?

I've only watched the two verbal altercations they had and I came away thinking "Damn. Just watching these guys go back and forth without getting their hands on one another makes me wanna see this match more than most." Kinda sucks they're giving it away tonight already.

#1-norm-fan 04-18-2016 07:30 PM

Tag division is pretty stacked right now. Hope they start having tons of tag feuds with some actual heat/purpose behind them outside the title picture.

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.

Also might tune in to see how awkward the editing for Reigns' reaction is.

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.

Same for the recent EVOLVE deal being heavy on the WWE side.

I dunno... I think probably because of WWE Network. I feel like I have been watching again for almost 2 years now.
