WWE Raw results: “Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.

The Raw video plays, and we go live into the WWE ThunderDome. Michael Cole welcomes us to the show. Cole says Tom Phillips is off for the week.

Randy Orton makes his way to the ring. Orton says he told the world that he would jump through whatever hoops he needed to get to the WWE Championship again. This is a rematch he should have automatically had. He beat Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, and Keith Lee. Now he has to face Keith Lee again. The more they cross paths, the closer Lee gets to being kicked in the head. He could go over the long list of people he has kicked in the head, but Raw only runs for three hours.
