WWE Friday Night SmackDown! (Live from Hytche Athletic Center (MD), 5,072 in Attendance)

 

Pre-Show: Christina Von Eerie versus Portia Perez

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Christina Von Eerie defeated Portia Perez in 17:54 by pinfall with a Codebreaker. Unfortunately this match needed to be a lot shorter given who was involved with the WWE Universe not really caring at all about either woman despite both Christina Von Eerie and Portia Perez having made sporadic appearances on Friday Night SmackDown this year. Nevertheless, Christina Von Eerie picks up the all-important victory here.

Match Rating: E

 

Pre-Show: The Great Cabana (The Great Khali and Colt Cabana) versus The Uso’s

In a bout that had solid in-ring action and average heat, The Uso's defeated The Great Cabana in 18:29 when Jey Uso defeated Colt Cabana by pinfall with an Alley-Us. The Great Khali was visibly tiring towards the end of this pre-show tag team match that went the distance which allowed Jimmy and Jey Uso to hit a double Super Kick on Khali to knock him out of the ring and essentially remove Khali from the match before turning their attentions to Colt Cabana, with Jey Uso pinning Cabana to pick up the win.

Match Rating: C-

 

Pre-Show: Big Show versus Rene Dupree

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Big Show defeated René Duprée in 18:29 by pinfall with a Knock Out Punch. Big Show was visibly tiring towards the end of this match but was still able to get the victory.

Friday Night SmackDown kicks off with the WWE World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles making his way to the ring to a great reception from the WWE Universe in attendance. AJ retrieves a microphone from the ringside area and says that this Sunday at Survivor Series he will proudly lead the team of Big E Langston, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Richie Steamboat in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match against Kevin Owens and his team of Jimmy and Jey Uso and the Bludgeon Brothers of Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. AJ says that this Sunday will be his first ever Survivor Series and he looks forward to leading his team to victory. AJ says that he is also excited that the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie has put him in a non-title main event match with Bobby Roode tonight. AJ says that he has faced Roode many times and has traveled all over the world with him, but tonight they meet one on one in a WWE ring for the very first time. Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens then comes to the entrance-way clutching his Money in the Bank briefcase in one hand and a microphone in the other. Owens tells AJ that whilst AJ is excited about being in the ring with Bobby Roode tonight, Kevin Owens is excited at the fact that he could cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase tonight and leave as the new WWE Champion.

survivor-series-logo-696x392.jpg

 

The following contests are confirmed to take place at tonight’s WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View:

 

Lesnar, Rollins, Jason Jordan, Wyatt & Matt Hardy vs. Reigns, Regal, Ambrose, Strowman & Dunne

The main event tonight at Survivor Series will see the WWE Universal Champion lead the team of the WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins, Jason Jordan, Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match against the Shield team of Roman Reigns, William Regal, Dean Ambrose, Braun Strowman and the WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne. The Shield was first formed by Paul Heyman as a way to seek revenge on Brock Lesnar after Lesnar no longer wanted the services of Paul Heyman as his advocate and instead opted to recruit Billy Gunn as his in-ring mentor. The Shield succeeded in their plans to take the WWE Championship away from Brock Lesnar as Seth Rollins became the new WWE Champion back in June, ending the over one year winning streak of Lesnar at the same time. Since then however, Seth Rollins has left the Shield and is tonight on Brock’s team, and Brock Lesnar only went without a Championship for twenty-four hours as he became the new WWE Universal Champion the night after losing the WWE Championship back in June. Roman Reigns and William Regal failed to defeat Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship in a Triple Threat match this past week on RAW and will be hoping for an all-important victory for the Shield tonight which may well lead to further title opportunities.

 

AJ Styles, Big E, Kofi, Xavier Woods & Richie Steamboat vs. Owens, The Uso’s & Bludgeon Brothers

The WWE World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles will tonight lead the team of Big E Langston, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Richie Steamboat in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match against Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens and his team of Jimmy and Jey Uso as well as the Bludgeon Brothers of Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. AJ Styles shocked the WWE Universe when he made his long awaited WWE debut back in September and since then has become the Franchise Player on Friday Night SmackDown, winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from the former Champion Jinder Mahal in a Hell in a Cell match in just AJ’s second WWE match. AJ has been on a winning streak ever since winning the WWE Championship back in October, but Kevin Owens is also undefeated in singles competition since winning the Money in the Bank briefcase back in July. AJ knows that Kevin Owens could cash in his briefcase at any time, possibly even tonight and needs to be sure that his teammates have his back tonight.

 

 

Cedric Alexander, Rich Swann, TJP, Gable & Mysterio vs. Enzo, British Ambition, Chavo & Ciampa

The WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander will lead the team of Rich Swann, TJ Perkins, Chad Gable and Rey Mysterio in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match tonight against Enzo Amore’s team which features the British Ambition pairing of Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey as well as Chavo Guerrero and Tommaso Ciampa. The Fan Favourite Cedric Alexander has impressed the WWE Universe since making his WWE debut with a victory over Oliver Grey at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View last month and since then Cedric Alexander has continued his winning streak, most notably beating Enzo Amore earlier this month on 205 Live to become the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion, ending the reign of Enzo Amore after just four days. This past week on 205 Live Enzo Amore told the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield that after he leads his team to victory tonight he should receive his rematch for the Cruiserweight Championship. Enzo has seemed almost “Emotionless” as of late and seems focused on nothing less than regaining the Cruiserweight Championship that he held for such a short time.

 

WWE RAW Tag Team Championships: Dogs of War (Ziggler & McIntyre) © vs. Almas & Bateman

This past week on Monday Night RAW Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre, now known to the WWE Universe as “Dogs of War”, teamed up for the very first time and sensationally became the new WWE RAW Tag Team Champions by defeating the Eaters of Worlds pairing of Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy and ending their title reign after just two weeks. Tonight Ziggler and McIntyre will put the titles on the line against another new team of Andrade “Cien” Almas and Derrick Bateman.

 

WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships: The Bar (Sheamus & Cesaro) © vs. Prime Time Players

Sheamus and Antonio Cesaro, known by the WWE Universe as “The Bar”, returned to Friday Night SmackDown this past week and defeated Big E Langston and Kofi Kingston as well as the Bludgeon Brothers of Luke Harper and Erick Rowan in a Triple Threat Elimination tag team match to become the new WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions and tonight the Bar will put their titles on the line against the Prime Time Players of Darren Young and Titus O’Neil.

 

WWE United States Title: Randy Orton © vs. Andy Leavine vs. Jinder Mahal vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

Randy Orton became the new WWE United States Champion for the first time in his career last month at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View when Orton won a Fatal Five-Way match, defeating the former US Champion Bobby Roode, Xavier Woods, Shinsuke Nakamura as well as Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens. Tonight Orton will put the title on the line in a Fatal Four-Way match against Andy Leavine, Jinder Mahal and Shinsuke Nakamura.

 

 

Batista and Mason Ryan versus The Saviours (Corey Graves and Bo Dallas)

Tag team action tonight will see the team of Batista and Mason Ryan take on the newly formed team of Corey Graves and Bo Dallas, known as the Saviours. A few weeks ago on Monday Night RAW Corey Graves told the WWE Universe that he had found a partner and that they were coming for the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships and this past week on RAW Corey revealed that his partner is the returning Bo Dallas.

 

Chris Jericho versus Buddy Murphy

Despite being a “Bum” and having questionable hygiene standards, the Australian Buddy Murphy impressed many members of the WWE Universe with his victory over Chad Gable this past week on 205 Live, but tonight Buddy Murphy faces a tougher challenge in Chris Jericho.

 

Alexa Bliss, Bella Twins, Bayley & Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax, Beth Phoenix, Kharma, Diaz & Melissa

The WWE Divas Champion Alexa Bliss will tonight lead the team of Nikki and Brie, the Bella Twins, as well as Bayley and Sasha Banks in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match against the team of Nia Jax, Beth Phoenix, Kharma and Cheerleader Melissa. This past week on Monday Night RAW, with her friend and mentor Road Dogg watching on at ringside, Alexa Bliss defeated Kaitlyn, Ayako Hamada, Evie, Jessie McKay and Rosa Mendes in a Six-Pack Challenge to retain her WWE Divas Championship, Alexa’s third successful title defence since winning the title for the first time back in August at Summerslam in a Triple Threat match against Audrey Marie as well as the former Divas Champion Bayley. All of Alexa’s team mates tonight have previously held the WWE Divas Championship whereas on the other team, only Beth Phoenix is a former WWE Divas Champion having held the title back in 2012. This past week on Monday Night RAW Sasha Banks assured the WWE Universe that Team Alexa would be victorious in this match.

 

Becky Lynch, Natalya, Asuka, Naomi and Cameron versus Carmella, Rain, Paige, Tamina and Layla

The WWE Women’s Champion Becky Lynch will tonight lead the team of Natalya, Asuka, Naomi and Cameron in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match against Carmella and her team of Rain, Paige, Tamina and Layla. Naomi won a Fatal Four-Way match against Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss and Rain back at the Payback Pay-Per-View in June to become the first WWE Women’’s Champion since the title was made inactive back in 2010. Incidentally, the final Women’s Champion in 2010 is one of the participants tonight, Layla. Last month at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View Natalya became the new Women’s Champion in a Triple Threat match with Naomi and Rain only to lose the title to Carmella the next week on Friday Night SmackDown. After a Championship reign of just a week, Carmella lost the Women’s Championship to Becky Lynch two weeks ago on SmackDown. All of the women involved in this match will likely be looking to impress the SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie to get a future opportunity to challenge Becky Lynch for the Women’s title.

Zeb Colter comes to the entrance-way with a microphone in hand and says that it’s a crime that his client Jack Swagger is being overlooked by the Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox and even more so that Swagger wasn’t selected to be a part of either team in tonight’s main event. Colter says that Swagger deserves to be the next one to challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship.

Rating: D+

 

 

Batista and Mason Ryan versus The Saviours

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Batista & Mason Ryan defeated The Saviours in 12:44 when Batista defeated Corey Graves by pinfall with a Batista Bomb. Angel Williams accompanied the team of Batista and Mason Ryan to ringside tonight for this tag tea match against the team of Corey Graves and Bo Dallas, now known to the WWE Universe as the Saviours. Batista pinned Graves to win the match for his team.

Match Rating: D

 

Joey Styles comes to the ring and says that he would like to welcome a special guest, and the WWE Universe come to their feet as the Rock makes his way to the ring. The Rock says that he is here to witness Team Shield of Roman Reigns, William Regal, Dean Ambrose, Braun Strowman and Pete Dunne get their asses handed to them by Brock Lesnar tonight.

Rating: C-

 

AJ Styles, Big E, Kofi, Xavier Woods & Richie Steamboat vs. Owens, The Uso’s & Bludgeon Brothers

In a match that had some good action and average heat, AJ Styles, Big E & Kofi and Woods & Steamboat defeated Kevin Owens, The Bludgeon Brothers and The Uso's in an Elimination match in 15:49; Richie Steamboat was eliminated first, then Xavier Woods, then Erick Rowan, then Big E Langston, then Jey Uso, then Kofi Kingston, then Luke Harper, then Jimmy Uso, and finally Kevin Owens. During the match we also had Christian run in and attack Styles. During the match we also had Christian turn on Styles. The WWE World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles and the team of Big E Langston, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Richie Steamboat took on Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens, Jimmy and Jey Uso and the Bludgeon Brothers of Luke Harper and Erick Rowan in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match. Richie Steamboat and Xavier Woods were quickly eliminated by Erick Rowan before AJ Styles pinned Rowan. Big E Langston was then put through the announce table by Kevin Owens which led to Big E getting counted out. This led to AJ and Kofi Kingston against Owens, the Uso’s and Luke Harper. Kofi Kingston pinned Jey Uso before Luke Harper pinned Kingston. AJ was then alone against Owens, Jimmy Uso and Luke Harper. AJ forced both Harper and Jimmy to tap out before Christian rushed to the ring whilst Owens distracted the referee to hit AJ with the Unprettier. However, AJ Styles fought valiantly against Owens and eventually rolled Owens up to secure the pinfall victory for his team and win the match as the sole survivor.

Match Rating: C+

 

 

 

 

We cut backstage to find Scott Stanford interviewing John Cone and asking for his condition after he was knocked out earlier tonight. However before Cone can answer both Cone and Stanford are attacked by Rezar Selmani and Alexander Wolfe.

Lesnar, Rollins, Jason Jordan, Wyatt & Matt Hardy vs. Reigns, Regal, Ambrose, Strowman & Dunne

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Pete Dunne, Reigns & Regal and Asylum defeated Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins, Jason Jordan, Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy in an Elimination match in 20:12; Jason Jordan was eliminated first, then Braun Strowman, then Pete Dunne, then Matt Hardy, then William Regal, then Dean Ambrose, then Bray Wyatt, then Seth Rollins, and finally Brock Lesnar. The finish saw Brad Maddox take over as referee after the original official was knocked out. The WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, the WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins, Jason Jordan, Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy took on Roman Reigns, William Regal, Dean Ambrose, Braun Strowman and the WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match. Braun Strowman quickly eliminated Jason Jordan before Strowman was pinned by Lesnar, who also then pinned Pete Dunne to leave it four versus three. Matt Hardy was pinned by Roman Reigns before Regal was eliminated by Rollins. This left Brock, Rollins and Bray Wyatt against Reigns and Ambrose. Brock Lesnar would F-5 Ambrose onto the steel steps outside of the ring which allowed Ambrose to be counted out leaving Reigns alone against Lesnar, Rollins and Wyatt. Reigns eliminated Wyatt and as Rollins was distracted by his former friend Dean Ambrose being taken out on a stretcher Roman Reigns rolled up Rollins and held the tights to pin him. This left just Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns one on one in the ring until Lesnar accidentally clotheslined the referee, which led to the Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox to take over as referee, and for the very first time Reigns was able to Spear Brock Lesnar and pick up the pinfall victory to win the match for his team as the sole survivor. However, the commentary team noted that the count by Maddox could be considered by some to be a little fast.

Match Rating: C+

 

Post-Show: Big Show versus Kalisto

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Monday Night RAW:

 

Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus Braun Strowman

The main event of tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out by the Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox and will see the WWE Universal Champion take on the Shield’s Braun Strowman in non-title action. Last night at Survivor Series the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar was pinned for the first time in over a year as Roman Reigns was the sole survivor for his team by last eliminating Brock Lesnar in the Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match. However, the WWE Universe witnessed controversy in the finish as Brad Maddox came to the ring to replace the referee who was knocked out. Some feel that Brad Maddox then counted a little quickly after Reigns hit Lesnar with the Spear. Braun Strowman will be hoping to pick up the all-important victory tonight to hand Lesnar his second loss in as many nights.

 

WWE RAW Tag Team Titles: Dogs Of War © vs. IC Champion Rollins & Ambrose vs. Reigns & Regal

Last night at Survivor Series during the Traditional Survivor Series Elimination main event match Dean Ambrose was counted out after being hit by an F-5 from the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar on the steel steps. Ambrose was stretchered out of the arena with the WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins seeming to be concerned about his former friend Ambrose which led to Rollins getting distracted and also being eliminated from the match. Dean Ambrose sent out a tweet earlier today saying that Rollins was the only one to checked to see if Ambrose was OK following the match with the Shield too busy celebrating their victory. Tonight on Monday Night RAW Ambrose will team with Rollins to join Roman Reigns and William Regal in challenging the Dogs of War of Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre for the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships in a Triple Threat Elimination tag team match.

 

Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne versus Brodus Clay

The WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne was eliminated by the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar in last night’s Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match but tonight Dunne returns to singles competition on Monday Night RAW as he will take on Brodus Clay in non-title action.

 

 

Sami Zayn versus Derrick Bateman

Derrick Bateman and his “The One Percenters” tag team partner Andrade “Cien” Almas failed in their attempts to defeat Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre for the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships last night and Bateman will hope to bounce back with a victory in singles competition against Sami Zayn tonight on Monday Night RAW.

 

Bray Wyatt versus Killian Dain

Bray Wyatt was eliminated by Roman Reigns in last night’s Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match and tonight Wyatt also returns to singles action as he will take on the debuting Killian Dain on Monday Night RAW.

 

WWE Divas Championship: Alexa Bliss © versus Nia Jax

Alexa Bliss was the sole survivor as she led her team to victory in last night’s Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match and tonight Alexa will put the WWE Divas Championship on the line against Nia Jax on Monday Night RAW.

 

 

 

Quick Picks:

Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus Braun Strowman

WWE RAW Tag Team Titles: Dogs Of War © vs. IC Champion Rollins & Ambrose vs. Reigns & Regal

Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne versus Brodus Clay

Sami Zayn versus Derrick Bateman

WWE Monday Night RAW (Live from Hytche Athletic Center (MD) 5,500 in Attendance)

 

Pre-Show: Mia Yim versus Sexy Star

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Mia Yim defeated Sexy Star in 18:05 by submission with a Guillotine Choke. Unfortunately this match needed to be a lot shorter given who was involved with the WWE Universe in attendance yet to really care about either of these women despite both of them having several matches on Monday Night RAW over the past year. Nevertheless, Mia Yim picks up the all-important victory here after forcing Sexy Star to tap out.

Match Rating: E-

 

Pre-Show: Batista and Mason Ryan versus The Saviours (Corey Graves and Bo Dallas)

In an extremely poor match, Batista & Mason Ryan defeated The Saviours in 17:38 when Batista defeated Corey Graves by pinfall with a Batista Bomb. Angel Williams accompanied her man Batista to ringside for this tag team match and offered vocal support throughout the match. Just like last night at the Survivor Series Pay-Per-View, Batista and Mason Ryan were victorious over the Saviours pairing of Corey Graves and Bo Dallas here as Batista hit Graves with the Batista Bomb to pick up the win for his team.

Match Rating: D-

 

Pre-Show: Rob Van Dam versus Kane

In a bout that had solid in-ring action and average heat, Kane defeated Rob Van Dam in 18:14 by pinfall with a Tombstone Piledriver. Kane was visibly tiring towards the end of this match but was still able to get the victory here.

Match Rating: C-

 

(Mike Rotunda would seriously consider either turning Rob Van Dam or trying a new gimmick as he has become a stale character and needs a shake-up.)

 

 

Tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW kicks off with the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar making his way to the ring. Lesnar receives a great reception from the WWE Universe as he retrieves a microphone from the ringside area. Lesnar says that last night at Survivor Series he was pinned for the first time in literally years as Roman Reigns beat Lesnar following a Spear to win the Traditional Survivor Series Elimination main event match. Brock Lesnar says that he is out here tonight without his in-ring mentor Billy Gunn as he wants to own up to his own actions. Lesnar says that despite eliminating every single member of the Shield’s team except for Reigns last night, he should have been prepared for the Monday Night RAW General Manger Brad Maddox to come to the ring and deliver a fast count to ensure Reigns got the victory. Brock says he’s been here long enough to know when there is a conspiracy against him from the “powers that be”. Brock says that he wouldn’t like to be Brock’s opponent Braun Strowman in tonight’s non-title main event, as Strowman will feel the full wrath of Lesnar. Seth Rollins, the WWE Intercontinental Champion, then joins Lesnar in the ring and says that it was a pleasure to team with Brock last night and that he hopes that one day he can go one on one with Lesnar for the Universal Championship. Roman Reigns and William Regal then come to the entrance-way and Regal has a microphone in hand. Regal announces that at next month’s TLC Pay-Per-View Brock Lesnar will defend the WWE Universal Championship in a Fatal Four-Way Tables, Ladders and Chairs match against William Regal, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman.

Rating: C

 

WWE Divas Championship: Alexa Bliss © versus Nia Jax

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Alexa Bliss defeated Nia Jax in 6:37 by submission. Alexa Bliss makes defence number 4 of her WWE Divas title. Alexa Bliss came to the ring wearing green face paint and looking like an Alien Invader of some kind.

Match Rating: E-

 

Dean Ambrose makes his way to the ring prior to tonight’s WWE RAW Tag Team Championship match. Ambrose says that last night he felt pain like he has never felt before as Brock Lesnar delivered an F-5 to Ambrose onto the steel steps. However, Ambrose continues, none of his Shield stablemates even asked Ambrose if he was OK following the event. Ambrose says that the only person who showed empathy was Seth Rollins, and that Ambrose is fully committed to teaming with Rollins tonight and winning the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships.

Rating: D+

 

 

 

WWE RAW Tag Team Titles: Dogs Of War © vs. IC Champion Rollins & Ambrose vs. Reigns & Regal

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Rollins & Ambrose defeated Dogs of War and Reigns & Regal in 11:45; the order of elimination was Dogs of War first, and then Reigns & Regal. Rollins & Ambrose win the WWE RAW Tag Team titles. Dolph Ziggler seemed off his game tonight which led to the reigning WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Ziggler and Drew McIntyre being eliminated first after Reigns pinned Ziggler following a Spear. After a hard fought battle between the WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose and their former Shield stablemates Roman Reigns and William Regal, Rollins would pin Regal as Rollins and Ambrose became the new WWE RAW Tag Team Champions.

Match Rating: C

 

Following their victory the new WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose celebrate in front of the WWE Universe until Jo Jo comes to the ring to interview Rollins and the WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins tells Jo Jo it’s a dream come true to become a dual Champion.

Rating: D

 

We cut backstage to find Braun Strowman lifting things when he is interrupted by the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and his in-ring mentor Billy Gunn, who warns Strowman that Lesnar will take all of his frustrations from last night out on Strowman in tonight’s main event.

Rating: D

 

The WWE Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox comes to the ring and tells the WWE Universe that they shouldn’t blame him for the controversial ending of the main event last night when Maddox is interrupted by the WWE Hall of Famer Bret “The Hitman” Hart, who tells Maddox that fast counts would never have happened when Bret was General Manager and that Maddox essentially screwed Brock Lesnar last night.

Rating: D-

 

With Bret “The Hitman” Hart and the Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox still in the ring, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon come to the ring together and Triple H is handed the microphone. Triple H says that he and Stephanie are here tonight to watch over Brad Maddox as well as make sure things run smoothly following many controversial events last night including Sasha Banks turning her back on and attacking her former friend Bayley.

Rating: B-

 

Following a commercial break we cut backstage to find an upset Bayley searching the corridors for Sasha Banks until the “Boss” Sasha attacks Bayley from behind and throws her into a wall. Sasha looks to mount a further attack on Bayley until the WWE Divas Champion Alexa Bliss rushes to the scene and Sasha backs away.

Rating: F

 

Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne versus Brodus Clay

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Pete Dunne defeated Brodus Clay in 8:11 by pinfall with a Bitter End. Pete Dunne was really off his game tonight but was still able to get the victory here.

Match Rating: D-

 

Following his victory the WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne takes a microphone from the ringside area and tells the WWE Universe that there is nobody worthy enough to challenge him for the UK title. Uncle Elgin then marches to the ring and clotheslines Dunne out of the ring.

Rating: E-

 

As an enraged Pete Dunne stands outside the ring with his WWE United Kingdom Championship in hand Uncle Elgin picks up the microphone and says that he may have lost to Pete Dunne before but he’s never had a shot at the UK Championship.

Rating: E-

 

Bray Wyatt versus Killian Dain

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Bray Wyatt defeated Killian Dain in 5:48 by pinfall with a Standing Senton Splash. The Monday Night RAW commentary team of Michael Cole, Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler note that Wyatt looked dangerous tonight.

Match Rating: D+

 

We cut backstage to find the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and his in-ring mentor Billy Gunn entering the office of the Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox and Gunn tells Maddox that he better not interfere in Brock Lesnar’s business or make him angry ever again.

Rating: D

 

Sami Zayn versus Derrick Bateman

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Derrick Bateman defeated Sami Zayn in 6:47 by pinfall with a Sweet Meat Sizzler. Sami Zayn and Derrick Bateman have pretty good chemistry as opponents and it lifted the match.

Match Rating: E+

 

William Regal makes his way to ringside to watch tonight’s Monday Night RAW non-title main event. Regal takes a microphone from the ringside area and promises the WWE Universe that one of the Shield will leave the TLC Pay-Per-View as the new WWE Universal Champion.

Rating: D

 

Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus Braun Strowman

In a bout that had solid in-ring action and average heat, Brock Lesnar defeated Braun Strowman in 15:06 by submission with a Kimura Lock. Brock Lesnar was really off his game tonight but was still able to make Strowman tap out in tonight’s main event.

Match Rating: C+

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live:

 

WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Cedric Alexander © versus Buddy Murphy

The main event of tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out from the 205 Live General Manger John “Bradshaw” Layfield and will see the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander put his title on the line against the Australian Buddy Murphy. This past Sunday at the Survivor Series Pay-Per-View Cedric Alexander was the sole survivor for his team as he defeated the team of Enzo Amore, the British Ambition pairing of Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey, Tommaso Ciampa and Chavo Guerrero in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match. Buddy Murphy was also in action at Survivor Series and although he lost the match against Chris Jericho and still looked physically like a “Bum” with hygiene issues, Murphy impressed many members of the WWE Universe with his performance. A Fan Favourite with the WWE Universe since he made his debut against Oliver Grey at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View last month, Cedric Alexander is on a five-match winning streak and beat the former Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore to become the new Cruiserweight Champion earlier this month on 205 Live, ending the reign of Enzo Amore after just four ways. Cedric Alexander will be looking to make his first successful title defence tonight but coming off a big victory over Chad Gable on last week’s 205 Live and an impressive showing in defeat against Chris Jericho this past Sunday, an all-important victory for Buddy Murphy might not surprise as many as it would have a few weeks ago.

 

Chris Jericho versus Oliver Grey

Coming off his victory against Buddy Murphy this past Sunday at the Survivor Series Pay-Per-View, the WWE Universe will be able to witness the “Cheeky Monkey” and former four-time Cruiserweight Champion Chris Jericho in action tonight on 205 Live as he will take on one half of British Ambition in Oliver Grey. The Englishman Oliver Grey likes to play to the WWE Universe as if he is an “Old School Face” but in truth both Oliver Grey, his partner Adrian Neville as well as their personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez are all very unloved by the majority of the WWE Universe.

 

 

 

 

Tajiri versus Kzy

Finally, two Japanese Superstars will go head to head tonight on 205 Live as the highly-touted Kzy will make his WWE debut as he will take on the former three-time WWE Cruiserweight Champion and Martial Artist, the “Japanese Buzzsaw” himself Tajiri. Judging by his social media posts, it would appear that Kzy is not short on confidence and sees himself as somewhat of a “Punk”. A victory over Tajiri tonight would certainly catch the attention of the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield.

 

 

 

 

Quick Picks:

WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Cedric Alexander © versus Buddy Murphy

Chris Jericho versus Oliver Grey

Tajiri versus Kzy

<strong>Pre-Show: Chad Gable versus A.R. Fox</strong></p><p>

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Chad Gable defeated A.R. Fox in 18:25 by submission. Unfortunately this match was too long given who was involved with many members of the WWE Universe not really caring about A.R. Fox as of yet. Chad Gable, on the other hand, has been competing on 205 Live for several months now and picked up the all-important victory here after forcing A.R. Fox to submit.</p><p>

<strong>Match Rating: D-</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Pre-Show: TJ Perkins versus Adrian Neville</strong></p><p>

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, TJ Perkins defeated Adrian Neville in 18:02 by submission with a Figure Four Deathlock. Ricardo Rodriguez introduced his client, the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville, to the ring for this match and Rodriguez remained at ringside offering vocal support and acting as a cheerleader throughout the match. However, it was TJ Perkins who picked up what many believe to be the upset victory tonight after forcing Adrian Neville to tap out to the Figure Four Deathlock.</p><p>

<strong>Match Rating: D-</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Pre-Show: Rich Swann versus JTG</strong></p><p>

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Rich Swann defeated JTG in 18:11 by pinfall with a Chicken Fried Driver. Unfortunately this match was too long given who was involved with the WWE Universe no longer having any interest in JTG despite him being around on Monday Night RAW, Friday Night SmackDown and now 205 Live for many years now. Rich Swann got the win here after hitting the Chicken Fried Driver on JTG.</p><p>

<strong>Match Rating: E-</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<em>Tonight’s edition of 205 Live begins with the 205 Live commentary team of Scott Stanford, former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Billy Kidman and the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield welcoming the television audience to the broadcast and promoting tonight’s WWE Cruiserweight Championship main event match. The WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander then makes his way to the ring and the Fan Favourite receives a great reception from the WWE Universe in attendance as he retrieves a microphone from the ringside area. Cedric Alexander says that earlier this month the “Age of Alexander” began when he defeated Enzo Amore to become the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion and that this past Sunday the Age of Alexander continued when Cedric Alexander was the winner and sole survivor for his team in the Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match against Enzo Amore, the British Ambition pairing of Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey, Tommaso Ciampa and Chavo Guerrero. Cedric says that he’s a fighting Cruiserweight Champion and thanks the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield for allowing Cedric to put the Cruiserweight Championship on the line in tonight’s main event against Buddy Murphy. The Australian Buddy Murphy then comes to the entrance-way with a microphone of his own in hand and says that he knows that people judge him from being from Australia or for looking like a “Bum” but that none of that will matter tonight when he beats Cedric to become the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion. Buddy Murphy then heads to the back as 205 Live heads to its first commercial break of the evening.</em></p><p>

<strong>Rating: E+</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Chris Jericho versus Oliver Grey</strong></p><p>

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Chris Jericho defeated Oliver Grey in 8:10 by submission with a Walls of Jericho. Oliver Grey taunted the WWE Universe in attendance, acting like an “Old School Heel” throughout the match. This led to a great ovation when Chris Jericho finally made Oliver Grey submit to the Walls of Jericho to win the match.</p><p>

<strong>Match Rating: C-</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<em>We cut backstage following a commercial break to find that the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield has left his position at the announcer’s table temporarily to have a conversation with the 205 Live official Jason Ayers. JBL tells Ayers that he doesn’t want another repeat of Survivor Series in tonight’s main event, when JBL had to come to the ring to replace the referee. JBL says that Chad Patton’s positioning in Chris Jericho’s victory earlier tonight was perfect and suggests that Jason Ayers also makes sure he is in perfect positions in tonight’s main event when Cedric Alexander will put the WWE Cruiserweight Championship on the line against Buddy Murphy.</em></p><p>

<strong>Rating: D</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Tajiri versus Kzy</strong></p><p>

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Kzy defeated Tajiri in 8:20 by pinfall with a Frog Splash. Kzy came to the ring with his hair spiked up and looking like a typical “Punk”. His attitude also reflected this as Kzy didn’t seem to care what the WWE Universe thought about him in his debut match tonight. Kzy ultimately pinned his fellow Japanese countryman Tajiri after hitting a Frog Splash.</p><p>

<strong>Match Rating: E</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<em>Enzo Amore comes to the ring and says that he would like to welcome his new muscle, the newest addition to the 205 Live roster and the man that took John Cena to the limit in the Survivor Series Pre-Show broadcast live on WWE.com this past Sunday, Bobby Fish, who then comes to the ring and shakes the hand of the former Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore.</em></p><p>

<strong>Rating: D-</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<em>Following a commercial break we see Eric Young make his way to the ring, also making his 205 Live debut tonight. The WWE Universe seem pleased to see Eric Young but he looks confused as to what he’s doing here. Chavo Guerrero then rushes to the ring and tries to attack Eric Young who moves out of the way and leaves an embarrassed Chavo flying to the outside of the ring.</em></p><p>

<strong>Rating: E+</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Cedric Alexander © versus Buddy Murphy</strong></p><p>

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Buddy Murphy defeated Cedric Alexander in 13:09 by submission. Buddy Murphy wins the WWE Cruiserweight title. A pretty vocal crowd didn’t seem particularly thrilled with seeing Buddy Murphy wrestle but the WWE Universe will have to get used to Buddy Murphy as he is now the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion after victory tonight.</p><p>

<strong>Match Rating: E</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Post-Show: Eric Young versus Epico</strong></p><p>

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Eric Young defeated Epico in 13:21 by pinfall with a Spiked Piledriver. The little man in a bull costume known as El Torito accompanied Epico to the ring but it was Eric Young who got the win here.</p><p>

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown:

 

Non-Title: WWE World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles versus Luke Harper

The main event of tonight’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out by the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie and will see the WWE World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles take on Luke Harper of the Bludgeon Brothers in a non-title match. This past Sunday at the Survivor Series Pay-Per-View AJ Styles and his team of Big E Langston, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Richie Steamboat defeated Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens, the Bludgeon Brothers of Luke Harper and Erick Rowan as well as Jimmy and Jey Uso in their Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match. AJ Styles put on a great performance and was the sole survivor for his team despite being attacked by Christian during the match. AJ Styles forced Luke Harper to submit at Survivor Series but an all-important victory for Harper in non-title action could well lead to Harper getting an opportunity at the WWE Championship.

 

Non-Title: WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bar vs. Team Gorgeous (Breeze & Madsen)

Last week on Friday Night SmackDown the team of Sheamus and Antonio Cesaro, known to the WWE Universe as “The Bar”, became the new WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions by beating the former Champions Big E Langston and Kofi Kingston as well as the Bludgeon Brothers in a Tripe Threat Elimination tag team match. Tonight on SmackDown Sheamus and Cesaro will take on the Team Gorgeous pairing of Tyler Breeze and Knuckles Madsen in non-title action.

 

Non-Title: WWE United States Champion Randy Orton versus Ryback

Randy Orton made his second successful defence of the WWE United States Championship this past Sunday at the Survivor Series Pay-Per-View when he defeated Jinder Mahal, Andy Leavine and Shinsuke Nakamura in a Fatal Four-Way match. Tonight on Friday Night SmackDown Orton will take on Ryback in a non-title match.

 

 

Big E Langston versus Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens

Big E Langston and Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens were on opposing teams in their Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match this past Sunday, with Kevin Owens putting Big E through an announce table which led to Big E getting counted out and eliminated. Big E will look for retribution when he takes on Owens in singles competition tonight.

 

Big Show versus Konnor

Big Show has been acting like a “Biker” as of late, wearing lots of leather at all times. Big Show will look to dominate tonight as he takes on Konnor on Friday Night SmackDown with both Superstars looking to impress the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie.

 

Non-Title: WWE Women’s Champion Becky Lynch versus Rain

The WWE Women’s Champion Becky Lynch led her team to victory in the Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match this past Sunday at Survivor Series and Becky was also the sole survivor. Tonight Becky Lynch will take on one of her opponents this past Sunday in Rain in a non-title match on Friday Night SmackDown.

WWE Friday Night SmackDown! (Live from American Sports Center (CA), 3,500 in Attendance)

 

Pre-Show: Mickie James versus Maxine

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Mickie James defeated Maxine in 17:42 by pinfall with a Mickie-DT. Maxine was visibly tiring towards the end of this match, despite her having competed in matches on Friday Night SmackDown before she is not used to matches of this length. Nevertheless, Mickie James picked up the all-important victory here.

Match Rating: D-

 

Pre-Show: The Great Cabana (The Great Khali and Colt Cabana) versus The Uso’s

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, The Uso's defeated The Great Cabana in 17:37 when Jey Uso defeated Colt Cabana by pinfall with an Alley-Us. The Great Khali was visibly tiring towards the end of this match which allowed Jimmy and Jey Uso to focus their offence on Khali for the majority of the match until Khali was finally able to get the tag to Colt Cabana only for the Uso’s to hit a double team maneuver on Cabana for the win with Khali too exhausted to make the save for his partner.

Match Rating: C-

 

Pre-Show: R-Truth versus Colin Cassady

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, R-Truth defeated Colin Cassady in 18:03 by pinfall with a Corkscrew Scissors Kick. R-Truth was visibly tiring towards the end of this match but was still able to get the win.

Match Rating: D-

 

 

 

 

Tonight’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown kicks off with the WWE World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles making his way to the ring to a great ovation from the WWE Universe in attendance. AJ retrieves a microphone from the ringside area and says that this past Sunday he proudly led his team of Big E Langston, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Richie Steamboat to victory in their Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match against Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens and his team of the Bludgeon Brothers and Jimmy and Jey Uso. AJ Styles says that he will take on one half of the Bludgeon Brothers in Luke Harper in tonight’s non-title main event and is sure that the other creep in Erick Rowan won’t be far away. AJ says that he is pleased that the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie has given AJ another chance to prove just why he is the Franchise Player of SmackDown tonight. AJ then says he would like to address Christian attacking him at Survivor Series but before he can continue Christian makes his way to the entrance-way with a microphone of his own. Christian announces that at the TLC Pay-Per-View next month he will challenge AJ Styles for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a Ladder match.

Rating: C-

 

Non-Title: WWE Women’s Champion Becky Lynch versus Rain

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Becky Lynch defeated Rain in 7:26 by pinfall with a Hard Knox. The Friday Night SmackDown commentary team of Josh Mathews, Joey Styles and Matt Striker note that Rain put up a decent effort tonight despite losing.

Match Rating: E+

 

(Eugene would seriously consider either turning Rain or trying a new gimmick as she has become a stale character and needs a shake-up.)

 

Following her victory the WWE Women’s Champion Becky Lynch celebrates in front of the WWE Universe before the former Women’s Champion Carmella rushes to the ring and looks to attack Becky until Rain gets back into the ring and stops Carmella from attacking Becky. Carmella backs down and leaves the ring whilst Becky nods her head in gratitude at Rain.

Rating: E-

 

 

 

 

 

Non-Title: WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bar vs. Team Gorgeous (Breeze & Madsen)

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, The Bar defeated Team Gorgeous in 7:15 when Antonio Cesaro defeated Tyler Breeze by pinfall with a Brogue Kick. Antonio Cesaro seemed off his game tonight but the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions Sheamus and Cesaro were still able to get the win here after Sheamus took out both Breeze and Knuckles Madsen with Brogue Kicks before Cesaro crawled into the cover to get the win for The Bar.

Match Rating: D+

 

Following their victory the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions Sheamus and Antonio Cesaro celebrate in the ring until Jimmy and Jey Uso come to the entrance-way with Jimmy has a microphone in hand. He says that it won’t be long until the Uso’s beat the Bar to reclaim their WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships.

Rating: C-

 

Non-Title: WWE United States Champion Randy Orton versus Ryback

In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Randy Orton defeated Ryback in 7:52 by pinfall with an RKO. The Friday Night SmackDown commentary team all agreed that Orton looked great in victory tonight following his successful title defence this past Sunday.

Match Rating: C+

 

Following his victory Randy Orton celebrates in the ring with his United States Championship until Jinder Mahal comes to the entrance-way with a microphone. Jinder Mahal tells Orton that he pinned that loser Andy Leavine this past Sunday and that he managed to beat a freak in Ryback tonight but that Randy Orton did not pin Jinder Mahal and that Mahal still wants another shot at the US Championship.

Rating: D+

 

Big E Langston versus Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Kevin Owens defeated Big E Langston in 8:30 by pinfall with a Package Piledriver. The Friday Night SmackDown commentary team note that Big E might not have been at 100% after being put through a table by Owens this past Sunday at Survivor Series.

Match Rating: C+

 

A video package airs promoting the last Tough Enough winner Andy Leavine who put up a great performance this past Sunday at the Survivor Series Pay-Per-View in the Fatal Four-Way match with Randy Orton, Jinder Mahal and Shinsuke Nakamura despite Leavine ultimately being pinned by Orton as he retained his US Championship.

Rating: F+

 

Big Show versus Konnor

In a bout that had solid in-ring action and average heat, Big Show defeated Konnor in 5:48 by pinfall with a Choke Slam. Konnor seemed off his game tonight as Big Show dominated Konnor and won the match in quick fashion.

Match Rating: C

 

We cut backstage to find Andy Leavine lifting some weights when he is approached by John Cena, who tells Leavine that Cena was impressed by Leavine’s performance in the Triple Threat match with Shinsuke Nakamura, Jinder Mahal and Randy Orton this past Sunday and that Andy Leavine shouldn’t give up in his pursuit of the US Championship, and Cena reminds Leavine that it was the first title he ever won and also has a special place in his heart.

Rating: D+

 

Non-Title: WWE World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles versus Jinder Mahal

In a match that had some good action and average heat, AJ Styles defeated Luke Harper in 15:52 by pinfall with a Super Styles Clash. The Friday Night SmackDown commentary team note that AJ looked impressive tonight and sent a message to Christian with an emphatic victory over Harper.

Match Rating: C+

 

Post-Show: Kofi Kingston versus Axl Keegan

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Kofi Kingston defeated Axl Keegan in 12:42 by pinfall with a Trouble in Paradise. Mike Rotunda accompanied Axl Keegan to the win but it was Kofi that got the victory here.

Match Rating: D-

 

 

 

Post-Show: Fandango versus Angelo Dawkins

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Fandango defeated Angelo Dawkins in 13:18 by pinfall with a Shooting Star Press. Angelo Dawkins was really off his game tonight which allowed Fandango to get the win.

Match Rating: E

 

 

Final Show Rating: C

 

 

 

Unfortunately there were no predictions this month so I will choose the challenger for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the upcoming Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View!

http://www.targetcenter.com/assets/img/WWE_RAW_LIVE_DEC_2014_SPOTLIGHT-NEW.jpg

 

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Monday Night RAW:

 

Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus Kane

The main event of tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out by the Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox and will see the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar take on the masked Kane in non-title action. Last week on RAW William Regal of the Shield informed Lesnar and the entire WWE Universe that at the TLC Pay-Per-View later this month Brock Lesnar will put the Universal Championship on the line in a Fatal Four-Way Tables, Ladders and Chairs match against Shield members William Regal, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman. With such a daunting task facing him at TLC in just a few weeks, tonight will also be tough as Lesnar takes on a former foe in Kane, the Knock-Out Artist Kane who went to war with Brock in a Hell in a Cell match for the WWE Universal Championship at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View back in October. Kane has never been able to beat Brock Lesnar in the past but an all-important victory for Kane in tonight’s main event could well lead to Kane getting a future Universal Championship opportunity following the TLC Pay-Per-View.

 

RAW Tag Team Championships: Intercontinental Champion Rollins & Ambrose vs. Burch & McClain

Last week on Monday Night RAW the WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose beat the Dogs of War pairing of Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre as well as Roman Reigns and William Regal of the Shield in a Triple Threat Elimination match to become the new WWE RAW Tag Team Champions for the very first time, ending the reign of Ziggler and McIntyre after just one week. Tonight on RAW Rollins and Ambrose will put the titles on the line against the pairing of Danny Burch and Troy McClain.

 

Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne versus Zack Ryder

The WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne will take on a returning Zack Ryder in non-title action tonight on Monday Night RAW. Tonight will be Ryder’s first match since a loss to Kane back in October on RAW.

 

 

Wesley Blake versus William Regal

Before he joins Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman in challenging Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship in a Fatal Four-Way Tables, Ladders and Chairs match at the TLC Pay-Per-View later this month, William Regal will take on Wesley Blake tonight on Monday Night RAW.

 

Sugar Dunkerton versus Braun Strowman

William Regal’s Shield stablemate Braun Strowman lost to the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar in last week’s Monday Night RAW non-title main event and Strowman will be hoping to get back to winning ways when he takes on Sugar Dunkerton tonight.

 

WWE Divas Championship: Alexa Bliss © versus Beth Phoenix

Finally, the WWE Divas Championship will be on the line tonight on Monday Night RAW as Alexa Bliss will put the title on the line against Beth Phoenix. Last week on RAW Alexa Bliss beat Nia Jax to make her fourth successful title defence since winning the title back in August at Summerslam.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quick Picks:

Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus Kane

RAW Tag Team Championships: Intercontinental Champion Rollins & Ambrose vs. Burch & McClain

Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne versus Zack Ryder

Wesley Blake versus William Regal

Sugar Dunkerton versus Braun Strowman

WWE Divas Championship: Alexa Bliss © versus Beth Phoenix

<strong>Pre-Show: Nikki Bella versus Sexy Star</strong></p><p>

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Nikki Bella defeated Sexy Star in 18:14 by pinfall with a Twin Magic. Unfortunately this match needed to be a lot shorter given who was involved with the WWE Universe yet to really care about Sexy Star despite her having appeared in several matches on Monday Night RAW this year. Nevertheless, Nikki Bella picks up the all-important victory here albeit controversially as Brie Bella switches places with her twin sister whilst the referee is distracted before Brie rolls up Sexy Star for the pinfall victory.</p><p>

Billy Gunn says that in a few weeks at the TLC Pay-Per-View Brock Lesnar faces perhaps his biggest task to date as he will defend the WWE Universal Championship in a Fatal Four-Way Tables, Ladders and Chairs match against three Shield members in Roman Reigns, William Regal and Braun Strowman. Billy Gunn says that Brock Lesnar is a Bad Ass, and that he isn’t at all daunted or worried about the prospect ahead of him and Billy Gunn promises that Lesnar will be the one to climb a ladder and retrieve the Universal Championship. Billy Gunn says that Brock Lesnar welcomes any competition and that is why he is pleased that the Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox has put him in a match with Kane in tonight’s non-title main event. Billy Gunn says that he hopes the Shield will watch what Brock does to Kane tonight. Roman Reigns then comes to the entrance-way with a microphone of his own in hand and says that the Shield will be watching tonight, but that there is no way that the Shield don’t leave TLC with the Universal Championship.</em></p><p>

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live:</p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p>

<strong>Non-Title: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy versus Chad Gable</strong></p><p>

The main event of tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out by the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield and will see the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy take on Chad Gable in non-title action. Last week on 205 Live Buddy Murphy shocked the entire WWE Universe when he defeated Cedric Alexander in the evening’s main event to become the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion, ending the reign of Cedric Alexander after just three weeks and leaving Cedric Alexander without any successful title defences during his reign. Despite being seen by some as a bit of a “Bum” and having had his personal hygiene questioned on several occasions, Buddy Murphy seems to be an impressive athlete from Australia and made his first appearance on 205 Live back in August with a victory over Tajiri. Since then Buddy Murphy had had mixed success prior to last week with Murphy defeating Chad Gable two weeks ago on 205 Live followed by a loss to Chris Jericho, albeit in a valiant losing effort, at the Survivor Series Pay-Per-View last month. Chad Gable is a Classic Tecnico who represented the United States of America in the 2012 Olympics in London before going to Mexico to train in the art of Lucha Libre. An all-important victory for Chad Gable tonight over the Cruiserweight Champion in non-title action could well lead to Gable getting a future opportunity to challenge for the Cruiserweight Championship.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Chris Jericho versus Chavo Guerrero</strong></p><p>

The “Cheeky Monkey” Chris Jericho is always popular with the WWE Universe and he will be in action tonight on 205 Live against a fellow veteran, “Latino Heat” himself Chavo Guerrero. Chris Jericho is undefeated since coming to 205 Live back in August and most recently Y2J defeated one half of the “British Ambition” tag team Oliver Grey last week on 205 Live. Jericho already holds multiple victories over Chavo Guerrero this year with Jericho defeating Chavo on an episode of 205 Live back in October as well as Jericho beating Chavo Guerrero on an episode of Monday Night RAW back in June.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Tajiri versus Bobby Fish</strong></p><p>

The man who markets himself on Social Media as having “No Gimmick Needed”, Bobby Fish, makes his 205 Live in-ring debut tonight as he will take on the “Japanese Buzzsaw”, the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Tajiri. Bobby Fish impressed many members of the WWE Universe in a losing effort to John Cena on the Survivor Series Pre-Show broadcast live on WWE.com last month. Last week on 205 Live Enzo Amore introduced Bobby Fish as his back-up, and it seems that Bobby Fish has the back of the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore.</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Quick Picks:</strong></p><p>

Non-Title: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy versus Chad Gable</p><p>

Chris Jericho versus Chavo Guerrero</p><p>

Tajiri versus Bobby Fish</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

250px-WWE205OfficialRender.png

 

WWE 205 Live (Live from Santa Rose Memorial Auditorium (CA), 1,000 in Attendance)

 

Pre-Show: Rich Swann versus A.R. Fox

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Rich Swann defeated A.R. Fox in 18:06 by pinfall with a Chicken Fried Driver. Unfortunately this match was too long given who was involved with the WWE Universe yet to really care about A.R. Fox although they certainly seem to lie the “Fan Favourite” Rich Swann who has featured heavily on 205 Live this past year. Rich Swann is ultimately able to pick up the all-important victory here after hitting a Chicken Fried Driver, his signature maneuver.

Match Rating: E+

 

Pre-Show: Cedric Alexander versus JTG

In an extremely poor match, Cedric Alexander defeated JTG in 18:29 by pinfall with a Lung Blower. Unfortunately this match was also too long given who was involved with the WWE Universe not really interested in JTG these days despite the “Gangsta” having spent the better part of a decade competing on Monday Night RAW, Friday Night SmackDown and now 205 Live. The former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander bounces back after losing the Cruiserweight Championship in last week’s main event by beating JTG tonight.

Match Rating: D-

 

Pre-Show: TJ Perkins versus Kalisto

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Kalisto defeated TJ Perkins in 17:45 by pinfall with a Rising Sun. This match was also too long given who was involved with the WWE Universe showing little interest in the masked Kalisto who picks up the victory over JT Perkins here.

Match Rating: D-

 

 

 

Tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live kicks off with the 205 Live commentary team of Scott Stanford, the former Cruiserweight Champion Billy Kidman and the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield welcoming the television audience to the show and announcing that tonight’s main event will see the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy take on Chad Gable in non-title action. The new WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy then makes his way to the ring to a mild reception from the WWE Universe in attendance. Many fans can be seen holding their noses as Buddy Murphy still looks and smells like a “Bum” despite now being a Champion. Murphy retrieves a microphone from the ringside area and says that ever since he was a young boy growing up in Australia he knew that he was special, and that now he stands before everyone as the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion. Murphy says that no matter what some people might say about him, Buddy Murphy’s talents can no longer be doubted. Murphy thanks the 205 Live General Manager JBL for giving him another chance to impress in tonight’s non-title main event. The former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander then comes to the ring and says that he wants his rematch as soon as possible. JBL then stands up from the ringside announce table and takes a microphone. JBL announces that at the TLC Pay-Per-View later this month Buddy Murphy will put the Cruiserweight Championship on the line in a Triple Threat match against both Cedric Alexander and Rey Mysterio. Cedric seems pleased with his decision and leaves the ring and heads to the back leaving Buddy Murphy looking slightly angry in the middle of the ring as 205 Live heads to its first commercial break of the evening.

Rating: E+

 

Chris Jericho versus Chavo Guerrero

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Chris Jericho defeated Chavo Guerrero in 7:38 by pinfall with a Code Breaker. Chavo Guerrero came to the ring in a suit with a badge attached that said “CEO” and repeatedly kept shouting that he was the “CEO” of 205 Live during the match which made the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield sitting at the ringside announce table very confused as he claimed he had nothing to do with this. Nevertheless, Jericho gets the win here.

Match Rating: C-

 

Following the match an irate Chavo Guerrero takes a microphone and starts shouting at the referee Chad Patton, telling him that Chavo is the CEO of 205 Live and Chad Patton is now fired. The 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield notes on commentary that Chavo doesn’t have the power to fire anyone and Charles Robinson comes to the ring and Robinson and Patton escort a shouting Chavo to the back as 205 Live heads to another commercial break.

Rating: D-

 

 

Tajiri versus Bobby Fish

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Bobby Fish defeated Tajiri in 8:13 by pinfall with a Moonsault. Scott Stanford and Billy Kidman both tell the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield on commentary that Bobby Fish seems to be a great signing to 205 Live by JBL and Bobby Fish impresses in his in-ring 205 Live debut tonight by beating the former Cruiserweight Champion Tajiri following an impressive looking Moonsault.

Match Rating: C-

 

We cut backstage to find Enzo Amore watching a monitor and applauding the performance of his back-up Bobby Fish when TJ Perkins walks by, minding his own business. Enzo Amore tells TJ Perkins that he better be careful where he walks now that Enzo Amore has big Bobby Fish looking out for him. Enzo then pushes TJ Perkins before leaving the area as we head to another commercial break.

Rating: E+

 

As we come back from commercial break Ricardo Rodriguez comes to the ring to introduce his client Adrian Neville who marches to the ringside area and immediately confronts the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield, claiming that losers like Chad Gable and Cedric Alexander shouldn’t be getting screen time whilst Neville is still in this company. JBL orders Neville to head to the back and Neville and Rodriguez reluctantly leave.

Rating: D-

 

Non-Title: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy versus Chad Gable

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Buddy Murphy defeated Chad Gable in 12:58 by pinfall. A pretty vocal crowd didn’t seem particularly thrilled with seeing Buddy Murphy as the WWE Universe have not really taken to the new Cruiserweight Champion yet. However, Buddy Murphy picks up another victory in tonight’s main event.

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown:

 

Non-Title: WWE World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles versus Erick Rowan

The main event of tonight’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out by the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie and will see the WWE World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles take on one half of the Bludgeon Brothers Erick Rowan in a non-title match.

However, Christian also attacked AJ Styles during that match. Last week on SmackDown Christian interrupted AJ whilst AJ was addressing the WWE Universe and announced that at the TLC Pay-Per-View later this month Christian will challenge AJ for the WWE Championship in a Ladder match. AJ faces a tough test against Erick Rowan tonight who will no doubt do all he can to pick up the all-important victory over the WWE Champion.

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live:

 

Non-Title: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy versus Rich Swann

The main event of tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out from the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield and will see the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy in action as he will take on Rich Swann in a non-title match. Last week on 205 Live John “Bradshaw” Layfield took a microphone from his position at the commentary table and informed the WWE Universe that at the TLC Pay-Per-View later this month Buddy Murphy will put his WWE Cruiserweight Championship on the line for the first time as he will defend the title in a Triple Threat match against the former Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander as well as the masked former eight-time Cruiserweight Champion, Rey Mysterio. Many people don’t like Buddy Murphy to get too close to them due to his personal hygiene issues, and the Australian has been called a “Bum” by many in his short time in 205 Live due to the way he looks and smells. However, in-ring Buddy Murphy is clearly a great athlete and he shocked the WWE Universe two weeks ago when he defeated Cedric Alexander in 205 Live’s main event to become the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion. Buddy Murphy was then victorious over Chad Gable in last week’s 205 Live non-title main event. Buddy Murphy’s opponent tonight, Rich Swann, is a Fan Favourite among the WWE Universe but hasn’t won a one on one match on 205 Live since a victory over Chavo Guerrero back in August. Rich Swann will no doubt be doing all he can to pick up the all-important victory tonight which could well lead to Rich Swann getting a future title opportunity.

 

Chris Jericho versus Kzy

The “Cheeky Monkey” himself, “Y2J” Chris Jericho will be in action tonight on 205 Live as he will take on Kzy, the Japanese star who impressed with a victory over Tajiri in his 205 Live in-ring debut two weeks ago. Kzy came to the ring against Tajiri dressed like a “Punk” and clearly has confidence in himself. Can he defeat another former Cruiserweight Champion in Chris Jericho tonight?

 

 

 

 

 

Jay Briscoe versus Epico

Tonight’s edition of 205 Live will see the in-ring debut of the “Redneck” himself Jay Briscoe, a fourteen year veteran who has competed all over the United States and abroad for over a decade before finally getting his chance to perform in front of the WWE Universe tonight. Jay Briscoe will have a tough test in his debut as he will take on the former WWE Tag Team Champion Epico, who will no doubt have his cousin and tag team partner Primo nearby as well as possibly the small man in a bull costume, El Torito.

 

 

 

Quick Picks:

Non-Title: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy versus Rich Swann

Chris Jericho versus Kzy

Jay Briscoe versus Epico

Pre-Show: Chad Gable versus Oliver Grey

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Chad Gable defeated Oliver Grey in 18:26 by submission.

Match Rating: D-

 

Pre-Show: Cedric Alexander versus Mark Haskins

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Cedric Alexander defeated Mark Haskins in 17:42 by pinfall with an Atomic Wedgie Bomb.

The former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander is then seen standing in the ring with a microphone in hand. Cedric Alexander says that in just a few weeks he will join one of his idols, the masked Rey Mysterio, in challenging Buddy Murphy for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship in a Triple Threat match at the TLC Pay-Per-View. Cedric Alexander continues by telling the WWE Universe that he grew up watching Rey Mysterio on both Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown and wants to one day follow in Mysterio’s footsteps by becoming the WWE Champion. The Fan Favourite Cedric Alexander says that he will not go easy on Rey Mysterio at the TLC Pay-Per-View and he will take the Cruiserweight Championship back from the Australian “Bum” Buddy Murphy. Cedric Alexander warns Rey Mysterio that even though he will be wearing his signature mask at the TLC Pay-Per-View, he should still prepare himself for the stench of Buddy Murphy. Cedric finally says that he will be looking forward to seeing Murphy in action against his good friend Rich Swann in tonight’s non-title main event before Cedric Alexander leaves the ring and heads to the back as we head to our first commercial break of the evening, with the commentary team announcing that Jay Briscoe will make his 205 Live debut next.

Rating: E+

 

Jay Briscoe versus Epico

In a bout that had solid in-ring action and average heat, Epico defeated Jay Briscoe in 6:58 by submission with a Figure Four Leglock.

Match Rating: D+

 

We cut backstage to find Rich Swann preparing for tonight’s 205 Live non-title main event against the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy when Rich Swann starts to hold his nose.

Rich Swann says that he will be all business tonight when he beats Buddy Murphy before walking away, still holding his nose.

Rating: F+

 

 

 

Chris Jericho versus Kzy

In a bout that had solid in-ring action and average heat, Chris Jericho defeated Kzy in 8:23 by submission with a Walls of Jericho. The performance of Chris Jericho stood out as being good as he defeated the “Punk” from Japan Kzy here after forcing Kzy to submit to the Walls of Jericho, much to the delight of the WWE Universe in attendance who were pleased to witness the “Cheeky Monkey” Chris Jericho in action.

We cut backstage to find the little man dressed in a bull costume El Torito jumping repeatedly trying to reach the light switch to turn the light on. TJ Perkins walks by and chuckles a little before turning the light on for El Torito who looks a little embarrassed.

Rating: F+

 

El Torito looks embarrassed after TJ Perkins had to help him turn the light on and El Torito is soon joined by the former WWE Tag Team Champions Primo and Epico, his “owners”. Primo tells TJ Perkins that Epico got a big victory over Jay Briscoe earlier tonight on 205 Live and if TJ Perkins isn’t careful then he will be the next one to feel the wrath of Primo and Epico. TJ Perkins laughs again before walking away as Primo and Epico look to console El Torito.

Rating: E+

 

Non-Title: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy versus Rich Swann

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Buddy Murphy defeated Rich Swann in 14:05 by pinfall with a Murphy's Law. Unfortunately this match was too long given who was involved with some of the WWE Universe still yet to be convinced by the Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy. Nevertheless, Buddy Murphy was victorious again in tonight’s 205 Live non-title main event.

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown:

 

WWE World Heavyweight Championship: AJ Styles © versus Tye Dillinger

The main event of tonight’s edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out by the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie and will see AJ Styles put the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Tye Dillinger. The WWE Championship will be on the line on SmackDown tonight for the first time since June after Tye Dillinger took to social media to complain about only having had two opportunities to compete on SmackDown all year, the last of which came in a defeat to Damien Sandow back in September. The “Franchise Player” of SmackDown AJ Styles then tweeted that he would be willing to give Dillinger a chance to prove himself and also agreed to put the WWE Championship on the line before Eva Marie then made the match official. An all-important victory for Tye Dillinger tonight would shake the WWE Universe to its core just a few weeks before AJ Styles is currently scheduled to put the WWE Championship on the line against Christian in a Ladder match at the TLC Pay-Per-View.

 

Non-Title: SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bar (Sheamus & Cesaro) vs. Heath Slater & Rhyno

The WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions Sheamus and Antonio Cesaro, known to the WWE Universe as “The Bar”, will take on the team of Heath Slater and Rhyno tonight on Friday Night SmackDown in non-title action. This is a rematch from last week’s edition of SmackDown when Sheamus and Cesaro defeated Slater and Rhyno in non-title action whilst their manager Robbie Brookside looked on.

 

Non-Title: WWE United States Champion Randy Orton versus Justin Gabriel

The WWE United States Champion Randy Orton will take on former WWE Tag Team Champion Justin Gabriel in non-title action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown. Following an impressive victory over Mark Henry last week on SmackDown, Randy Orton was interrupted by Jinder Mahal who claimed that Orton would struggle in a one on one match against Mahal.

 

 

The Great Khali versus Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens

The former World Champion The Great Khali will take on Friday Night SmackDown’s holder of the Money in the Bank briefcase Kevin Owens tonight on Friday Night SmackDown. Kevin Owens is a true Bad Ass in singles competition and has not lost a one on one match since losing the Universal Championship to Brock Lesnar back in June.

 

Big Show versus Goldust

The WWE Universe will see two veterans go head to head tonight on Friday Night SmackDown as Big Show will take on Goldust with both Superstars looking to impress the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie.

 

WWE Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and Asuka versus Maxine and Madison Eagles

Finally, tag team action in the women’s division tonight on Friday Night SmackDown will see the WWE Women’s Champion Becky Lynch team up with the Japanese “Joshi Shooter” Asuka to take on the team of Maxine and Madison Eagles. Last week on SmackDown the former Women’s Champion Carmella informed the WWE Universe that she will challenge Becky Lynch for the Women’s Championship at the TLC Pay-Per-View later this month.

 

 

 

Quick Picks:

WWE World Heavyweight Championship: AJ Styles © versus Tye Dillinger

Non-Title: WWE Tag Team Champions The Bar (Sheamus & Cesaro) versus Heath Slater and Rhyno

Non-Title: WWE United States Champion Randy Orton versus Justin Gabriel

The Great Khali versus Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens

Pre-Show: Cameron versus Portia Perez

In an extremely poor match, Cameron defeated Portia Perez in 17:50 by pinfall with a Springboard Bulldog. Cameron was visibly tiring towards the end of this match that went the distance. It seemed that Portia Perez had superior physical conditioning when compared to the former Funkadaktyll in Cameron.

AJ says that for the past few weeks he has been busy defeating both members of the Bludgeon Brothers in singles competition in consecutive non-title main event matches. AJ says that he is the Franchise Player of Friday Night SmackDown but even he needs a break sometimes, and during the week he checked Twitter to see Tye Dillinger of all people moaning and complaining about not being given opportunities. AJ said that he personally spoke to the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie and asked that Tye Dillinger be given an opportunity so in tonight’s main event AJ Styles will put the WWE Championship on the line against Tye Dillinger. AJ says that he is willing to put his title on the line every single week if it means that he can give opportunities to those that he feels deserves it. Christian then comes to the entrance-way with a microphone of his own and reminds AJ that if he gets past Tye Dillinger tonight then he has a Ladder match with Christian for the WWE Championship at the TLC Pay-Per-View in just a few weeks and that will be the night that Christian takes the WWE Championship.

http://www.targetcenter.com/assets/img/WWE_RAW_LIVE_DEC_2014_SPOTLIGHT-NEW.jpg

 

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Monday Night RAW:

 

 

Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus Kassius Ohno

The main event of tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out by the Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox and will see the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar take on Kassius Ohno in non-title competition. In just six days at the TLC Pay-Per-View this Sunday, Brock Lesnar will put his WWE Universal Championship on the line in a Fatal Four-Way Tables, Ladders and Chairs match against three members of the Shield in Roman Reigns, William Regal and Braun Strowman. Kassius Ohno has been dressing like a member of the KKK recently and making some controversial comments on social media but an all-important victory for Kassius Ohno in non-title action tonight could lead to the former one-half of the Kings of Wrestling getting a future title opportunity. Tonight will be Ohno’s third chance to take on Brock Lesnar in the main event of Monday Night RAW following consecutive defeats against the “Beast” in September and October.

 

WWE RAW Tag Team Titles: IC Champ Rollins and Ambrose © vs. Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar)

The WWE RAW Tag Team Championships will once again be on the line tonight on Monday Night RAW as the WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins and his partner Dean Ambrose will put their titles on the line against the new pairing of Akam Dhinsa and Rezar Selmani, who wish to be referred to by the WWE Universe as “Authors of Pain”. Rollins and Ambrose became the new WWE RAW Tag Team Champions for the first time as a team last month on Monday Night RAW and have already made two successful title defences in consecutive weeks.

 

Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne versus Mason Ryan

This Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View Pete Dunne will put the WWE United Kingdom Championship on the line against Uncle Elgin, who has had a string of luck recently and seems to have the number of Pete Dunne. Before then, Pete Dunne will take on the Welshman Mason Ryan in non-title action tonight on Monday Night RAW.

 

Sugar Dunkerton versus Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman will join his Shield stablemates Roman Reigns and William Regal in challenging Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View in a Fatal Four-Way Tables, Ladders and Chairs match but before then Strowman will take on Sugar Dunkerton tonight on Monday Night RAW.

 

Zack Ryder versus William Regal

The Vengeful William Regal and his Shield stablemates have been targeting Brock Lesnar for the better part of a year now and will get their chance to dethrone Lesnar and take the WWE Universal Championship this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View but before that happens William Regal must first go one on one with Zack Ryder tonight on Monday Night RAW.

 

WWE Divas Champion Alexa Bliss, Evie and Kaitlyn versus Sexy Star, Raquel Diaz and Rosa Mendes

Six-Diva tag team action tonight on Monday Night RAW will see the WWE Divas Champion Alexa Bliss team up with Evie and former Divas Champion Kaitlyn to take on the team of Sexy Star, Raquel Diaz and Rosa Mendes. Last week on Monday Night RAW “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey shocked the entire WWE Universe by saving Alexa Bliss from an assault at the hands of Sasha Banks and later on that night the WWE Chief Operating Officer Triple H announced that Ronda Rousey has signed a WWE contract and will join Sasha Banks in challenging Alexa Bliss for the WWE Divas Championship in a Triple Threat match this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View.

 

 

 

 

Quick Picks:

Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus Kassius Ohno

WWE RAW Tag Team Titles: IC Champ Rollins and Ambrose © vs. Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar)

Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne versus Mason Ryan

Sugar Dunkerton versus Braun Strowman

WWE Monday Night RAW (Live from Mammoth Events Center (CO) 5,100 in Attendance)

 

Pre-Show: Ayako Hamada versus Nia Jax

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Nia Jax defeated Ayako Hamada in 18:17 by submission. A hot crowd was against Nia Jax in this pre-show match, chanting for her not to come back. It would appear that the WWE Universe have not been impressed with Nia Jax in the short time she has been competing on Monday Night RAW. Nevertheless, the larger Nia Jax was still able to pick up the all-important victory here after forcing Ayako Hamada to tap out.

Match Rating: E-

Match Rating: C-

 

Pre-Show: Rob Van Dam versus Solomon Crowe

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Rob Van Dam defeated Solomon Crowe in 18:27 by pinfall with a Five Star Frog Splash. Unfortunately this match was too long given who was involved with the WWE Universe still not really interested in Solomon Crowe.

Match Rating: D

 

(Terry Taylor would seriously consider either turning Rob Van Dam or trying a new gimmick as he has become a stale character and needs a shake-up.)

 

Tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW kicks off with the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar making his way to the ring, flanked by his in-ring mentor Billy Gunn. The WWE Universe gives Lesnar a great reception as he enters the ring as Billy Gunn retrieves a microphone from the ringside area. Billy Gunn says that this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View the “Beast” Brock Lesnar will put his WWE Universal Championship on the line in a Fatal Four-Way Tables, Ladders and Chairs match against three members of the Shield in Roman Reigns, William Regal and Braun Strowman. Billy Gunn says that Brock Lesnar has previously beaten all three members of the Shield individually and that this Sunday Lesnar will climb the ladder and retrieve the WWE Universal Championship and head into the new year still Universal Champion. Billy Gunn then thanks the Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox for giving Brock Lesnar a warm-up in tonight’s non-title main event match against Kassius Ohno. Roman Reigns then comes to the entrance-way with a microphone in hand and says that one of the Shield will leave this Sunday as the new WWE Universal Champion, and that Brock Lesnar can believe that.

Road Dogg offered vocal instructions to Alexa Bliss throughout this match which led to Alexa picking up the win for her team after hitting Sexy Star with the Twisted Bliss from the top rope.

Match Rating: E

 

Following securing the victory for her team Alexa Bliss hugs her teammates Evie and Kaitlyn before Evie and Kaitlyn head to the back allowing Alexa to celebrate in the ring with Road Dogg. Sasha Banks then rushes to the ring and looks to assault the Divas Champion Alexa Bliss until Ronda Rousey rushes to the ring to make the save. Sasha Banks flees the ring as Ronda takes a microphone and announces that she will not hold a title with the word “Diva” in it and that once she beats both Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks in their Triple Threat match this Sunday she will rename the title the WWE RAW Women’s Championship.

Rating: E+

 

 

 

 

WWE RAW Tag Team Titles: IC Champ Rollins and Ambrose © vs. Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar)

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Rollins & Ambrose defeated Authors of Pain in 8:01 when Seth Rollins defeated Akam Dhinsa by pinfall with a Double Powerbomb. Rollins & Ambrose make defence number 3 of their WWE RAW Tag Team titles. Akam Dhinsa and Rezar Selmani, the Authors of Pain, dressed in bright green and looked like Alien Invaders. Rollins pinned Akam following a Double Powerbomb as Rollins and Ambrose retained their titles here.

Match Rating: D

 

As Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose celebrate their successful defence of the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships in front of the WWE Universe, the former RAW Tag Team Champions Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre make their way to the entrance-way and Ziggler has a microphone in hand. Ziggler says that they want their titles back.

Rating: D

Rating: F

 

Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne versus Mason Ryan

In an extremely poor match, Pete Dunne defeated Mason Ryan in 6:36 by pinfall with a Bitter End. Unfortunately Pete Dunne and Mason Ryan don’t seem to click as opponents and it made for an awkward bout here.

Match Rating: E+

The Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox then comes to the ring and says that AJ Lee is an embarrassment to herself and the entire WWE Universe. AJ Lee then walks to the back almost in tears as Maddox seems proud of himself in the ring.

Rating: E

 

The Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox stands in the ring laughing after reducing AJ Lee to cheers before the WWE Universe comes to their feet as the Rock makes his way to the ring.

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live:

 

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy and Enzo Amore versus Chad Gable and Rich Swann

The main event of tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out by the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield and will see the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy team up with a former Cruiserweight Champion in Enzo Amore to take on the team of Chad Gable and Rich Swann. This Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View Buddy Murphy will put his WWE Cruiserweight Championship on the line in a Triple Threat match against Cedric Alexander as well as the legendary former eight-time Cruiserweight Champion, the masked Rey Mysterio. Despite being insulted by both Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann for his personal hygiene, or lack thereof, last week, Buddy Murphy was still able to defeat Rich Swann in last week’s 205 Live non-title main event. The Australian Buddy Murphy may look like a “Bum” and may smell like one too but since winning the WWE Cruiserweight Championship from Cedric Alexander three weeks ago he has defeated both Rich Swann and Chad Gable in 205 Live non-title main events. Chad Gable and Rich Swann both know that an all-important victory tonight, albeit in tag team action, could well lead to one or both of them receiving a future opportunity to challenge for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Both Chad Gable and Rich Swann were part of the team that defeated Enzo Amore’s team in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match last month.

 

Chris Jericho versus Simon Gotch

The “Cheeky Monkey” and former four-time Cruiserweight Champion Chris Jericho will be in action tonight on 205 Live as “Y2J” takes on Simon Gotch. Simon Gotch seems to be a Sidekick to some of the more prominent members of the 205 Live roster and is yet to pick up his first victory in 205 Live. In fact, the last time we saw Simon Gotch in action on 205 Live was back in September in a losing effort against his opponent tonight, Chris Jericho.

 

 

 

 

 

Jay Briscoe versus Noam Dar

The “Redneck” Jay Briscoe lost to the former WWE Tag Team Champion Epico last week on 205 Live in what was Jay Briscoe’s 205 Live debut match. Tonight Jay Briscoe will look to have more success as he takes on the “Scottish Supernova” Noam Dar, who likes to act like an “Old School Face” during his matches but never seems to really have the support of the WWE Universe in attendance. Noam Dar is another Superstar yet to pick up his first victory on 205 Live and was last in action on 205 Live back in September when he suffered a defeat at the hands of Chris Jericho.

 

 

 

 

 

Quick Picks:

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy and Enzo Amore versus Chad Gable and Rich Swann

Chris Jericho versus Simon Gotch

Jay Briscoe versus Noam Dar
