To kick off the Royal Rumble 2020, the 30 selected women from RAW, NXT and Smackdown got set for the Women's Royal Rumble Match!! Before the match kicked off though, the three Women's Champions Becky Lynch from RAW, Charlotte from Smackdown and Sasha Banks from NXT headed to the ring separately, to watch the match from steel chairs at ringside!!

 

OqKPPtk.pngOZRzev9.pngXX0cBSn.jpg

 

 

After Becky, Charlotte and Sasha took their seats, entrants One and Two made their way to the ring to get us started...

 

wzUrhTO.png

 

Alexa Bliss from RAW and Naomi from Smackdown; two former Women's Champions looking to get back to the top of the mountain in WWE. They both knew they'd have a real mountain to climb to win this one though. Lasting all the way to the end and winning was always going to be tough from this position, and energy conservation was the name of the game for both of them after some hard-hitting early offence.

 

Eliminations:
NONE

'The Vision' Vanessa Borne

 

LuGOApC.png

 

Despite being very early into her WWE career, Vanessa Borne carries a genuine threat in this match. She has the backing of her best friend Aliyah, as well as a budding friendship with the badass Sonya DeVille on NXT. If the three of them are in the ring together, this match could be over in a hurry. As it was at this point though, Borne had both Bliss and Naomi down on the mat as the timer counted down from 10...

'The Sassy Southern Belle' Lacey Evans

 

tfmuqCx.png

 

Lacey Evans is an old head on young shoulders. She has a veteran instinct that few women, or men, her age have, both in and out of the ring. Tonight, she slowly strolled out to the ring, and then waited until almost when the buzzer sounded to enter the match, making sure she didn't waste her first minute and a half. A very sound strategy.

 

Eliminations:
NONE

'The Pirate Princess' Kairi Sane

 

0RiUHpn.png

 

Kairi Sane might be older than Evans, but she was child-like as she excitedly ran to the ring, dropping her telescope, and throwing her Pirate hat to the ground. She took Alexa Bliss and Naomi down with tackles, before delivering Sliding D's to them both in opposite corners of the ring. Lacey Evans put Sane down with a brutal big boot though. The 'Sassy Southern Belle' was still really fresh, and the minute and a half ended with her trying to get Vanessa Borne out!

'The Venus Fly Trap' Peyton Royce

 

IP5mDTm.png

 

Peyton Royce is the more popular, and more talented member of the IIconics, and her long limbs could come in real handy in a match like this. Billie Kay will not be entering the Royal Rumble this year, so Peyton knew she was going it alone out there. In the 90 seconds that passed, all six women in the match had chances to get eliminations, but nothing noteworthy went down.

 

Eliminations:
NONE

'The Jersey Devil' Sonya DeVille

 

hpOnex8.png

 

Sonya DeVille, arguably one of the favourites to win the match, with a fairly unfortunate entrant number. Had she come in into the late 20s, she might have had a chance, but she knew she had a long way to go here. She immediately got to work attacking Naomi, and then kicked Peyton Royce right under the chin. DeVille then joined Vanessa Borne in trying to eliminate Kairi Sane next, but nobody was dispatched from proceedings in this period. DeVille and Borne have been getting on very well recently, along with Aliyah.

 

Eliminations:
NONE

'The Underrated' Aliyah

 

BvbZ6hf.png

 

Aliyah is the tag team partner of Vanessa Borne, and they have both been trying to recruit Sonya DeVille for this very match. Now suddenly, all three of them were in the ring at the same time! The three seemed to be working together well, particularly when Aliyah and Borne held Peyton Royce for DeVille to kick her over the top rope!! DeVille also tipped Lacey Evans up and out when she was trying to take Borne out!! The rest of the field looked worried by this alliance, and they should be.

'Mighty'Kacy Catanzaro

 

uYcdxTj.png

 

Three NXT entrants in a row, and Kacy Catanzaro managed to stop the alliance of Borne, Aliyah and DeVille momentarily. She took Borne down with a spear, and then hit a spinning side kick to Aliyah, while Alexa Bliss took care of DeVille. Naomi then hit her 'Rear View' on Bliss. Naomi and Kairi Sane then found themselves up over the top rope, but onto the apron when the 90 seconds ended.

'The Twisted Sister' Nikki Cross

Nikki Cross sprinted to the ring, and Alexa Bliss waited for her best friend! While they embraced in the ring, Sonya DeVille kicked Naomi in the back of the head, and she fell into Kairi Sane, with both women tumbling to the outside of the ring! Sonya now has four eliminations, and Borne and Aliyah lauded their new friend.

Lita

 

A6A02UC.png

 

The legendary Lita. A former four-time WWE Women's Champion, and one of the best female wrestlers of all time. She stood on the stage and soaked in the adulation of the fans. Then ran to the ring to get started. Immediately, Lita hopped to the top rope, and landed a moonsault onto DeVille, Aliyah and Borne, leaving the dangerous trio sprawled out all over the place.

'The Captain of Team Kick' Dakota Kai

 

5s1hHBk.png

 

Dakota Kai came running to the ring, and squared up to Lita. The two shook hands, and a brilliant sequence ensued. Kai looked like she had achieved a dream by battling the legend that is Lita, but it was soon broken up when DeVille, Aliyah and Borne threw them both over the top rope on opposite sides of the ring. But both held on, and they 'skinned the cat' at the same time to save themselves.

Mickie James

 

aWCt7TQ.png

 

Another legendary competitor in WWE, Mickie James came running out, and she SAVED Dakota Kai and Lita from DeVille, Aliyah and Borne. It was three against three now, with the fresh James joining Kai and Lita against the NXT baddies. But Mickie James is not to be trusted, and she threw Kai out over the top rope! Lita was furious, and she then fought James. Now was the time for Sonya and co. to capitalise, but instead, Sonya DeVille turned her back on the other two, and threw Borne and Aliyah out over the top rope!!

'The Queen of Harts' Natalya

 

zJNiE1w.png

 

Joining Lita and Mickie James, Natalya became the third legendary competitor in the ring. Alexa Bliss and Sonya DeVille fought each other in one corner, and Natalya came straight into the match and threw Nikki Cross over the top rope! Nattie tried to eliminate Kacy Catanzaro, but the youngster held on for dear life, and managed to survive the period – just.

Ember Moon (WWE Women's Tag Team Champion)

 

8xDaVYJ.png

 

Ember Moon with a favourable entrant number here. If her tag team partner Kayden Carter comes in soon, she has to be in contention to win it. She took Alexa Bliss down when she entered the ring, who was angry about losing
her
partner Nikki Cross. Moon then hit a brilliant 'Eclipse-like' Stunner on Sonya DeVille without going up to the top rope.

'The Hugger' Bayley

 

ahdgjsv.png

 

Bayley is another favourite to win here, and another favourable entrance number, but her biggest advantage was Buddy Murphy. Even in her first 30 seconds she probably should have been eliminated by Ember Moon, but Buddy Murphy saved her and pushed her back in the ring. If she'd have gone then and there, Becky Lynch and Charlotte would have loved it! Conversely, Sasha waited for Murphy to come around to her side of the ring, and they high-fived. A clear split in the Four Horsewomen of WWE. Bayley did end up getting an elimination in this period, taking Alexa Bliss out, who was distracted by Buddy Murphy's antics. Lita then finally took care of Mickie James!

Alexa Bliss by Bayley... Mickie James by Lita...

'Mrs. Wrestling' Candice LeRae

 

F4sTNFU.png

 

Another NXT competitor headed out next, the popular and exciting Candice LeRae. The wife of Johnny Gargano knows what she's doing in the ring, but the Royal Rumble Match is different to any other. Bayley, Ember Moon, Natalya, and now Candice make for a very strong most recent four entrants, still in there with the impressive Sonya DeVille, the veteran Lita, and the young rookie Kacy Catanzaro!

'The EST of NXT' Bianca BelAir

Bianca BelAir, another talented NXT fighter. One for the future for sure, but one who is insanely talented now too. BelAir began showing off her power, and threw a few opponents around the ring. She threw Kacy Catanzaro so far at one point, the rookie nearly fell out of the ring over the top rope, but she somehow survived again!

Kayden Carter (WWE Women's Tag Team Champion)

 

2h4rCCE.png

 

Kayden Carter got into the ring, and immediately went after Sonya DeVille, who was attempting to take her partner Ember Moon out of the match. The WWE Women's Tag Team Champions double-teamed DeVille, but it was at this time that Natalya started to grow in stature. She grabbed DeVille, and threw her out over the top rope. Kacy Catanzaro attacked her, and she tipped the 'Underrated' NXT star out over the top. Kacy held on, but Nattie kicked her knuckles to get another elimination!

Trish Stratus

 

odU6Oxr.png

 

If the pop for Lita was big, this one blew the roof off the arena! In the first Women's Royal Rumble, there were plenty of legends who showed up to fill up the numbers, but this year, with NXT taking part too, there were no numbers that needed filling. Trish showed straight away that she wasn't here out of nostalgia alone, and she certainly wasn't here to make up the numbers. Trish helped Lita to not be eliminated by Natalya, and the two best friends looked to be on the same page! Lita and Trish together is a dangerous duo!

 

Eliminations:
NONE

'The Empress of Tomorrow' Asuka

 

npufy2i.png

 

The ring was starting to fill up now, with the most recent eight competitors still in there, and Lita, who came in at number 11. Asuka wasted no time getting in there and just kicking everything that moved. The Japanese sensation also took Lita down and tried to lock her in an arm bar, but Trish Stratus again came to her aid! Somehow, there were no eliminations in this period, despite Asuka's dominance.

'The Princess of Staten Island' Carmella

 

ytnQnER.png

 

Carmella is a former Women's Champion and a former Women's Money in the Bank winner – she'll say two-time. Another impressive competitor with every chance of winning an unpredictable match like this. 'Mella actually gave Becky Lynch, Charlotte and Sasha Banks some attitude at ringside, the first entrant in the match to really acknowledge them apart from Bayley. The 'Huggable' Bayley ordered Buddy Murphy to go around and get her the RAW Women's Championship at one point in this period, but Becky threatened to knock Buddy out, and he backed away with his hands in the air. Lita and Candice LeRae found themselves on the apron having gone over the top rope, and Asuka hit her hip attack and knocked them both off, and to the floor!

'The Punk Rock Rebel' Ruby Riott

 

QuA10ug.png

 

It was great to see Ruby Riott back inside a WWE ring, and she couldn't contain her emotions as the crowd cheered her all the way to the ring. With the help of distractions at ringside from Buddy Murphy, Bayley was able to eliminate Kayden Carter. She then had a 'Hug Plex' for the impressive Natalya, and she too was thrown out over the top rope! Buddy Murphy looked ready to pull Natalya's legs out from under her if she had held on, a fact that riled up Becky Lynch at ringside!! 'The Man' put her Championship Belt down, and took off her leather jacket. She walked right up to Murphy and knocked him out with a vicious right forearm smash! Bayley was furious in the ring!

Logan, without her Viking Raiders friends, ripped her animal skin coat off, and ran to the ring! She got straight in, and walked straight up to Ruby Riott! The two former Riott Squad members stood in the ring, as the crowd chanted 'YES!'. Riott and Logan hugged, and the two friends started working together!

Tegan Nox has been in good form of late. Not many wins, but plenty of great performances, and she was looking for another one here. Elsewhere in the match, Bayley got rid of Carmella, and Bianca BelAir got her first elimination by throwing Ember Moon out. Moon is one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions, so it was a big scalp for BelAir.

The 24 year old sensation from Australia headed out next, having seen her good friend, and potential back up in this match, Naomi eliminated early due to her early entrant number. Coming in at 26 is a huge advantage for Storm, and the youngster set about taking people down with forearms and kicks. Asuka tried to lock Trish Stratus in an arm bar next, but Trish used her power to lift Asuka up, and over the top rope!!

Liv Morgan skipped out with her hands behind her back, and we soon realised that all three former members of the Riott Squad were in the ring together! They all hugged in the middle of the ring, and then began taking down their rivals. Trish Stratus and Tegan Nox were the closest to being eliminated, but they held on, and made it back in. The Riott Squad looking strong, and looking like the strongest combination in the entire match!

Business just, picked, up! If there was a favourite to win the Royal Rumble from NXT, then Io Shirai was it. But she started off by walking around the ring, and getting in Becky Lynch's face!! The crowd wanted to see a fight, but Shirai knew better. She slid into the ring, and began going to work on Trish Stratus. Before the buzzer sounded, Shirai hit a brilliant lariat on Bianca BelAir, and then suplexed Tegan Nox hard!

Another impressive NXT star headed out to the ring next, and her Judo background kept her out of trouble in the early stages of her arrival. She hit hip-tosses and throws on Bayley, Bianca BelAir, and Tegan Nox, before kicking Toni Storm hard on the hamstring! Ruby Riott taking out Tegan Nox and throwing her out of the match was the only elimination, and the rest of the field awaited the surprise entrant at Number 30!

'Rowdy' Ronda Rousey

 

H3mhfZV.png

 

The crowd popped a few times in this match, but nobody expected Ronda Rousey to head to the ring at Number 30!! Becky Lynch was raging at ringside. She thought she'd seen the last of Rousey in the WWE, and she stood up to go and confront her rival. Bayley slid out of the ring, and got between them though, and 'The Man' knew she was left in an impossible situation. Referees came gathering round Becky to ensure she didn't get involved in the match, while Rousey continued to rile Becky up. In the ring, Trish Stratus took care of Taynara Conti, but then disaster struck for Charlotte Flair!!

 

VcZx2Fn.jpgmCymFul.jpgaceiL4S.jpg

 

Through the crowd, Charlotte's opponent for later on tonight: Shayna Baszler, was joined by Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir, and they jumped the Smackdown Women's Champion!! Sasha Banks didn't know what to do, so she backed away slowly, leaving Charlotte a sitting duck. Eventually though, Duke and Shafir turned their attention to 'The Boss'. They took Banks down, and stomped on her. Bayley was going mad at this point, trying to get to her friend, but the referees stopped her. She tried to get Becky Lynch to turn around and help her, which she finally did! Becky ran over to help Sasha Banks, of all people, but she didn't see Shayna Baszler lying in wait, and the 'Queen of Spades' locked her in the 'Kirifuda Clutch'. Bayley freed herself from the referees, and started to run around the back of the ring, but Ronda Rousey was there to meet her with a vicious back elbow!! Rousey then slid into the ring, where the Riott Squad was waiting for her. She flipped Ruby Riott, Logan and Liv Morgan over, and threw them ALL out of the match!!

 

Eliminations:
Taynara Conti by Trish Stratus (2)... and The Riott Squad by Ronda Rousey (3)

 

YvB2V4h.png

 

With the chaos around the ring showing no signs of slowing down, the action inside the ring stepped up a gear too. Toni Storm stood up to Ronda Rousey, but despite a strong showing from the 24 year old fan favourite, she was soon eliminated by Rousey, who looked on a mission! Elsewhere, we had two strong NXT stars left, in Bianca BelAir and Io Shirai. BelAir wanted to be the last woman standing from Wednesday Nights on USA. Shirai attempted a springboard kick, but BelAir caught her. She deadlifted the Japanese star above her head, and threw her out of the ring!! We were down to our final four!! On the outside of the ring, the MMA Horsewomen were almsot done with Becky, Charlotte and Sasha. They still had time to hit a powerbomb on Becky, through Charlotte, and through the announce table, before tipping the other announce table onto Sasha!!

 

Eliminations:
Io Shirai by Bianca BelAir (2)... and Toni Storm by Ronda Rousey (4)

Baszler, Duke and Shafir left the scene at ringside, with Shayna symbolically washing her hands. However, they came across Bayley, who was ready to fight all three of them. In the ring, Ronda Rousey told Shayna to throw Bayley into the ring to her, but they gave the 'Huggable' RAW star a few kicks first. Shayna tossed Bayley in, and Ronda threw her straight out! A solid performance by Bayley in the end, and in many ways, she didn't deserve to go out like that. The next person to try to stop Ronda Rousey, was Trish Stratus. A battle of two different generations, and frankly, two athletes who couldn't be much different. Trish did her best out there, but she was no match for Rousey, and the former UFC Champion eventually eliminated her!

 

Eliminations:
Bayley and Trish Stratus by Ronda Rousey (6)

 

6UNmMa1.png

 

We were down to two. Bianca BelAir, who entered the match at number 18, and Ronda Rousey, who really only arrived a few minutes ago, and has cleared the field for herself with six eliminations. If she takes out BelAir, she goes to WrestleMania! But if BelAir triumphs, the young 'EST of NXT' will go in her place. It was a tense staredown, as Rousey clearly had respect for BelAir as an athlete. The two women paced around the ring a little, and got ready to lock up, but Rousey outstretched a hand for a handshake. BelAir went to shake it before any physicality took place, and Rousey grabbed her arm, and flipped her over her hip! BelAir was down, and Rousey celebrated to the crowd, but the ultra tough BelAir got back up real quick, and before she knew it, Rousey took a Hair Whip to the midriff!! She doubled over in pain, and almost instantly a nasty looking welt began appearing where the hair connected with her abdomen. The pain was intense, but it only fuelled Rousey, who connected with a back elbow that staggered BelAir. Rousey burst out of the corner like a hunting dog unleashed from it's paddock. BelAir tried to block, but Rousey hit a clothesline that sent BelAir tumbling over the top rope and to the floor.

 

Ronda Rousey, is going to WrestleMania!!

Match in Jeopardy

 

Due to the events during the Women's Royal Rumble Match, Charlotte's scheduled Championship defence against Shayna Baszler is in serious jeopardy...

 

OZRzev9.pngVcZx2Fn.jpgaceiL4S.jpgmCymFul.jpg

 

Baszler and co took Charlotte out, but the Smackdown Women's Champion wasn't the only woman targeted...

 

Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, and even Bayley were all taken out by the Smackdown stars... But they had some help...

 

The winner of the Women's Royal Rumble: 'Rowdy' Ronda Rousey was in cahoots with her fellow MMA Horsewomen!!

 

The announce team said that the Charlotte/Shayna match looked likely to be called off... Until Charlotte's music hit!!

If Charlotte Flair had gone into this match at 100%, it would have been incredible. Possibly a contender for Match of the Year. But she was far from 100%, having been taken out by Shayna Baszler and co. during the Women's Royal Rumble Match. This match was near total domination from Baszler. She took her time, and systematically took Charlotte apart. Flair had some fight in her though. She hit some trademark chops late on, and almost hit 'Natural Selection' too. But in the end, after just 7 minutes, Shayna Baszler got hold of the Champion, and made her tap! This would have been an incredibly shocking result if the pre-match attack hadn't happened.

Winner:
and NEW Smackdown Women's Champion: Shayna Baszler!!

Finish:
'Kirifuda Clutch'

The Samoan Dynasty

 

This past week on Smackdown, Roman Reigns and his cousins The Usos were joined in their quest to bring honour back to the Samoan Dynasty by Bronson Reed!!

 

iZxPMaD.jpgUWyX8pj.jpgh4sT7Vt.jpgUz9aAfT.jpg

 

Reed is an Australian of Samoan descent, and at 31 years of age, has his best years very much ahead of him...

 

Backstage here tonight, the four of them were sat in a locker room, with Roman taping his fists and getting ready...

 

Roman Reigns:
“Boys... We all saw Shayna Baszler and her group wipe out Becky, and Charlotte... But I don't want that tonight for me... I'm comin' in at Number 30, but I don't want you boys out there...”

 

Jey and Jimmy Uso assured Roman that they would only come out to the ring, if someone else tried to 'pull a Shayna'...

The only non-Title, and non-Royal Rumble Match was a brutal fight from the start. It's a blood feud that began because of a woman. Lana left Rusev for Bobby Lashley, and although Rusev is angry, he's certainly not in love with Lana anymore. The two big brutes wanted nothing more than to win this match, and move on. Lashley hit some nice throws, and showed off his technical acumen, but Rusev was by far the more aggressive. In a fight like this, the aggression Rusev showed should have been enough to score the win. However, just as he was closing in on hitting his 'Batchka' Kick, Lana hopped up onto the apron and screamed “NOOOO!!” at her former husband. Rusev was spellbound for a couple of seconds. He wanted to kick Lashley in the face but he knew his 'wife' didn't want him to. The distraction was the opening Lashley needed, and he hit the 'Dominator' on 'The Bulgarian Brute', ending his fight and ending the match.

Winner:
'The Allmighty' Bobby Lashley

Women's Tag Team Title Tournament – The Brackets

 

This past week on Smackdown, Ember Moon and Kayden Carter, the Women's Tag Team Champions, learned they'd be competing at WrestleMania...

 

xuEstRz.png2kVWXgt.png

 

They've been dominant Women's Tag Team Champions, holding the Gold for over three months now, and beating all challengers...

 

But on Smackdown, found out there would be an eight team Tournament, to determine their WrestleMania Weekend opponents...

 

Smackdown will be represented by the duos of Naomi and Toni Storm... The IIconics... and Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke...

 

And now, we got to learn the rest of the field... containing two RAW teams... two NXT teams, and a pair of WWE legends...

 

AEJsxmt.jpg

 

Trish Stratus and Lita, who competed in the Women's Royal Rumble Match earlier tonight, look as though they're sticking around!!

 

This week on Smackdown, the tournament will kick off, with Naomi and Toni Storm, battling NXT's Aliyah and Vanessa Borne!!

Three very distinct tag teams entered the ring next. The New Day are fun-loving, and don't take life too seriously. The OC do, but they also know how to have fun in the ring. They seem to enjoy hurting their opponents; none more so than the New Day. Hawkins and Ryder on the other hand, felt like they were just lucky to still be RAW Tag Team Champions. They've somehow survived multiple Title defences, but they knew tonight would be their toughest test yet. They could lose their Titles, without being pinned or submitted here. To combat this, they tried to keep one member of their team in the ring at all times, even if it meant they were taking a beating! If they'd been lucky to retain their Titles before, they were extremely lucky tonight! For the finish, Karl Anderson was attempting a superplex on Zack Ryder, when Luke Gallows joined him. Big E appeared underneath them, and hit a double powerbomb, but Ryder held on to the top rope! Xavier Woods was the other legal man, and while he watched The OC fall out of the ring, and Big E get knocked out of the ring by Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder flew out of nowhere to hit 'Rough Ryder' on Woods, and scored a remarkable win!

Winner:
and STILL RAW Tag Team Champions: Hawkins and Ryder

The Kingdom

 

Backstage, Erik, Ivar and Logan – The Viking Raiders, were shown watching Ryder and Hawkins somehow retain the RAW Tag Team Titles!!

 

247hy7h.jpg0iaqYfx.jpgIaZHoem.jpgTYHqb90.jpg

 

King Corbin walked in, and the Raiders got ready to throw him straight back out again, but Logan urged them to stay calm...

 

King Corbin:
“Gentlemen... Warriors!! Please... If I may...? Listen... You know, and I know, that those Tag Titles are there for the TAKING... I can help you win them... Despite the fact you don't even NEED me... All I'm asking for, is one chance...”

 

Erik and Ivar didn't say no... because Corbin didn't give them a chance... He left in a hurry with his offer hanging in the air...

 

But if The Viking Raiders' responses to Corbin's advances so far are anything to go by, 'The King' had better not hold his breath...

Adam Cole's friends The Undisputed Era (Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish) made their way to the ring first, and were locked inside the old WarGames cage at the top of the ramp. Adam Cole then arrived, and said hi to his boys, followed by Finn Balor. 'The Extraordinary Man' brought a duffel bag out with him, and before anyone could react, he began wrapping the cage up with a chain!! Balor knew that the crafty Era would have had a plan to get out, but wrapping the cage around three times with a chain, and then locking it with a padlock, definitely did for them. Adam Cole sprinted up the ramp, and the fight began on the stage, right in front of the locked up Era members. The two competitors soon made it back to the ring, where an instant classic kicked off properly. Balor and Cole have great chemistry as opponents, having been across the ring from each other six times in the past few months, and this being their third 1 on 1 battle. Cole made sure he controlled the pace of the match, not letting Balor create any space at all.

 

The leader of the Undisputed Era is a crafty NXT Champion, but he's also very cocky and his arrogance would nearly cost him at one point in the match. Cole flung his arms out wide, and shouted that he was the 'better' man. Balor is a veteran, and he saw that this was his opportunity to capitalise. He hit a brilliantly timed drop kick, that sent Cole flying sideways into the turnbuckle! Cole landed hard into his shoulder, and suddenly, with one move, the match was even again. Balor was able to deliver a 'Sling Blade', and then went on moments later to hit the '1916', which scored a closer than close two count! Cole knew he was lucky to escape the move, and he decided to escape the ring too. He staggered up the ramp, and Balor gave chase. Cole leant up against the cage where the rest of the Era were stood, and Balor went for a right hand. He missed, and Kyle O'Reilly grabbed his wrist!! Roderick Strong grabbed his legs, and Bobby Fish got his arms around his waist!! Cole ran back to the ring, and demanded the referee count him out! The ref began to count, but then he realised what was going on from a distance, and he told Cole he'd disqualify him if the Era didn't let Balor go!! Cole told his friends with a microphone to let 'The Demon' come back to the ring, and they did. Balor was furious, but as soon as he slid into the ring, he was caught with Cole's 'Last Shot' finisher!!

Winner:
and STILL NXT Champion, Adam Cole 'Bay Bay'

'Last Shot'

Seth came across well, and seemed to get along well with his fellow cast members...

 

They were all smiles, and Seth seemed to enjoy being away from the ring... But he also still had that fire in his eyes...

 

One day soon, Seth will return to the WWE, and come back to RAW...

This was a short match, between two absolute monsters of Monday Night RAW. Braun Strowman has had a rough couple of weeks, recovering from a brutal backstage attack, presumably carried out by 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt himself. His ribs were heavily taped tonight, and he looked gassed at times. Struggling to keep up with the frantic pace that Wyatt set at the beginning. 'The Fiend' soon slowed things down, because he was in total control, and Strowman couldn't even get up, let alone fight back. When 'The Monster Among Men' finally did get back on his feet, he needed the crowd to rise up, and they did. The 'Get These Hands' chants were deafening, and they clearly got to 'The Fiend'. However, the masked Universal Champion knew what he needed to do. He soaked up Strowman's offence, including a shoulder tackle on the outside of the ring. Wyatt was then able to counter a chokeslam attempt, by pulling Strowman's beard and dragging him down to the mat! Strowman grabbed Wyatt by the throat, but he countered with the 'Mandible Claw' and sent Strowman onto his back! Strowman refused to tap, and he didn't pass out either, but the referee counted his shoulders down, and 'The Fiend' retained!!

 

81

Winner:
and STILL WWE Universal Champion, 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt

Finish:
'Mandible Claw'
