Roman Reigns vs. Big Show

When we return from the break, the Reigns-Show match is already underway, as we see Show holding Reigns in a big bear hug as Michael Cole informs us that the match started during the break. We see footage, via the WWE App, of how the match started. We see Big Show slamming Reigns into the barricade.

Back live, Reigns is fighting back now, as he hits multiple big splashes on Show in the corner. We see Seth Rollins, Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble at ringside watching the action.

Reigns calls for the Superman Punch, but is distracted by Noble, who hops up on the apron, allowing Mercury to grab Reigns’ foot from the floor outside of the ring. This leads to Reigns walking right into a spear from Big Show.

Finally, Reigns knocks J&J Security out to the floor. Reigns nails Show with a Superman Punch. He calls for the spear, but Rollins runs in and blasts him with the briefcase, which leads to Reigns walking right into a Chokeslam from Big Show. 1-2-3. Big Show wins.

Winner: Big Show

Backstage: The Authority

Backstage, we see Triple H and Stephanie McMahon watching what just happened on a monitor. HHH tells Steph that getting that stipulation announced earlier was easier than they thought it would be. He says it’s not even legal what they did, but because they all agreed to it, it’s all good. HHH says Rollins will win tonight and go on to WrestleMania. HHH says all that’s left is the “Stone Cold Podcast” later tonight. Steph asks him what he thinks Austin will ask him. HHH says it doesn’t matter because he’ll manipulate him the way he just did everyone else in the opening segment. The two kiss and we head to another break.

Dean Ambrose Eliminates Curtis Axel And Challenges Bad News Barrett

We’re back from the break and we see Curtis Axel making his way to the ring with a mic. Axel tells us not to change the channel because he’s got something to say. The announcers laugh, as if Axel having something to say is a joke. Axel goes on to talk about how he was never eliminated from the Royal Rumble match. He stands on the top rope, points to the WrestleMania 31 logo and says he wants to fight Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania and kick his ass. The announcers laugh again, really making Axel out to be a total joke.

From there, Dean Ambrose’s theme song hits. Ambrose makes his way down to the ring. He punches Axel a few times and then throws him over the top rope. Ambrose gets on the mic and says, “there, now you’ve been eliminated.”

Axel comes back in and beats up on Ambrose from behind. Ambrose eventually gets the better of him and nails him with a double-arm DDT. Ambrose talks about how he’s coming after Bad News Barrett because he wants to be on the wall at WWE Headquarters alongside the legendary I-C champs of the past. We head to another commercial.

Goldust & Stardust vs. The Ascension

We’re back from the break and The Ascension is in the middle of making their ring entrance. Goldust and Stardust are already in the ring. It’s time for tag-team action here on RAW.

The bell sounds and here we go. Stardust and Viktor kick things off for their respective teams. Viktor gets the better of Stardust, nailing him with a big slam.

The finish sees Goldust fighting off Viktor, only to get nailed from behind by Konnor with a knee. The Ascension hits their “Fall of Man” finisher for the 1-2-3.

After the match, Goldust sits on his knees while Stardust yells at him. Eventually, Stardust storms off, leaving Goldust in the ring by himself. We head to another break.

Winners: The Ascension

Backstage: Goldust & Stardust Argue

Backstage, we see Goldust and Stardust arguing. Goldust is trying to apologize to Stardust, who is pacing back-and-forth talking to himself. Finally, Goldust says “Cody!,” which gets his attention. Stardust yells at him and tells him to never call him that and walks off.

John Cena Welcomes Back Dolph Ziggler, Ryback & Erick Rowan

John Cena’s theme hits and out he comes to the ring. Cena has bad swelling around his right eye, which he addresses right from the get-go. Cena hears a “Cena sucks” chant, which has him pausing, allowing the fans to get it out of their system.

From there, Cena goes on to talk about how The Authority fired Ziggler, Ryback and Rowan. Cena says Triple H doesn’t care about the WWE Universe. He then introduces a video package, which shows Sting helping him win his match, where the stipulation was that The Authority had to re-hire Ziggler, Ryback and Rowan.

Finally, Cena re-introduces Dolph Ziggler, Erick Rowan and Ryback back to RAW. He goes on to talk about how anyone can be beat, including Rusev, and beat Rusev he will.

Before he can continue, however, Stephanie McMahon appears on the titan tron and cuts him off. She tells Ryback that his match is next, and it’s against Luke Harper. We head to a commercial break on that note.
