WWE Raw Results & Highlights:

WWE Championship #1 Contender’s Match: Seth Rollins vs. Big E vs. Kevin Owens vs. Bobby Lashley- As soon as the bell rang, Bobby Lashley went right after Seth Rollins, whereas, Big E went after Kevin Owens. Lashley took Rollins outside the ring beating meanwhile Big E was taking care of Kevin Owens inside the ring.

After clearing the ring and settling Owens and Rollins, Lashley and Big E came face to face inside the ring. The two men exchanged blows before Lashley nailed a perfect vertical suplex. Lashley was standing tall now and the crowd was chanting Bobby Bobby! The chants charged Lashley and he decided to hit spear through the barricade on both Rollins and Owens, but the two moved out of harm’s way and Lashley went shoulder-first through the barricade.

Owens and Rollins were once again seen working together and despite Rollins taking a belly-to-belly suplex from Big E outside the ring, the latter couldn’t put him through the announce table which he cleared to plant Rollins on it. Owens and Rollins worked together again and after slamming Big E into the barricade, the two men worked together and took out Big E by driving him through the announce table. We now head into commercials.

After the commercial, we saw all the four men inside the ring and both Rollins and Owens were working together as a unit. Big E and Lashley were on two corners of the ring and Owens & Rollins were running into them easily. All of a sudden, Big E got up and slammed Rollins with a back-first slam. On the other hand, Owens was clotheslined by Lashley. Big E and Lashley then decided to work as a unit and went after Rollins & Owens.

Rollins and Owens ran into the crowd and reached the gallery area of the building. Big E and Lashley followed them and did whatever they could to catch them. We saw all the four men in the gallery area of the arena. Lashley applied a Hurt Lock on Rollins there and Big E chokeslam Owens through a table kept there. We again head into commercials.

As we returned from commercials, we saw Big E, Rollins, and Lashley fighting in the crowd area, and all of a sudden, Owens jumped of the fence on the three men. Rollins and Owens got up and took Big E into the ring as the decision had to be made inside the ring. In the ring, we saw Owens and Rollins working in tandem and celebrating the pinfall attempts of each other. However, Big E didn’t give up on the simultaneous pinfall attempts of both Rollins and Owens.

In the closing moments of the match, Bobby Lashley first speared Big E followed by a spear to Rollins and then escaped a Stunner to Spear Kevin Owens. That was it, Lashley went for a cover on Owens and punched his ticket for the WWE Championship match at Royal Rumble PPV.

After the match got over, Kevin Patrick approached Brock Lesnar in the locker room to get his views on Lashley’s victory. Brock told him that he has his views and that he is coming to Smackdown next week to confront Roman Reigns.

 

 

Omos vs. AJ Styles- As the bell rang, AJ Styles took the fight to Omos. He started attacking Omos and perhaps was following a strategy. After some back & forth offense, AJ moved outside the ring and then called Omos outside before kicking Omos in the knee while he was on the apron.

Styles then came back into the ring and Omos started the assault with a big boot on the face. Omos looked unstoppable and was completely manhandling AJ Styles. He was wearing down AJ Styles with his moves. At one point AJ tried hitting the Phenomenal Forearm, but Omos slapped with his big right hand on AJ’s chest.

AJ looked minuscule before Omos and after a hell of a beating, Omos finished the match with a double hand chokeslam.

The Miz & Maryse in the ring- The Miz & Maryse were in the ring and Miz looked frustrated after his defeat at the hands of Edge the other night at WWE Day 1 PPV event.

He blamed Beth Phoenix to help Edge win the match and also said that he (Miz) wouldn’t have used her wife to fight his battles. The crowd wasn’t supporting Miz’s words and were reminding him that he did the same few weeks back (when he used Maryse as a shield against Edge’s spear).

The segment got interrupted by Beth Phoenix & Edge. The “GrIT” couple entered the ring and confronted the “IT” couple.

Both couples got involved in a war of words before Edge challenged Miz & Maryse for a couple vs. couple match at the Royal Rumble. The Miz talked rubbish before finally accepting the challenge. However, Maryse didn’t look too pleased with her husband’s call.

United States Championship: Damian Priest vs. Dolph Ziggler- Damian Priest is set to defend his title against Dolph Ziggler in a unique stipulation that says if there is a count-out or DQ, the title will change hands.

The match started with Ziggler slapping Damian Priest on his face and then the latter outraging on him. After a few blows inside the ring, the two men went outside and Dolph nailed a perfect DDT on the champ on the floor. We now head into commercials.

After the commercials, the two men were seen in the ring, and Damian Priest was in pursuit. However, a running knee stunned Priest but he managed to kick out of a pinfall attempt by Ziggler. The show-off Ziggler was in command now as he was trash-talking with Priest and striking him hard with a few kicks on the chest.

Ziggler was provoking Priest to take out his fanatic side. However, Priest kept his calm and some martial art kicks were enough to take out Ziggler. Priest then went up on the top turnbuckle and was about to dive on Ziggler, but with the referee’s back facing the champ, Robert Roode came out of nowhere and unsettled Priest from the top turnbuckle.

This provoked Priest and he went outside to take care of Robert Roode before taking a Famouser from Ziggler and surviving a pinfall scare. He grabbed a chair and was about to hit Roode, but the referee’s count reach 8 and he had to get into the ring. In the ring, Ziggler asked him to hit him with the chair so that the match could get disqualified, he was provoking Priest, but the champ threw the chair on Roode’s face only to get caught with Ziggler’ Zig Zag.

Ziggler attempted the pin, and once again the champ barely survived at two counts. Ziggler then prepared himself for a super kick but Priest caught him in a Reckoning and put the match to an end.
