WWE Raw spoilers: United States title match

Posted on by F4W Staff

Report submitted by Parker Klyn

With it being Christmas week, tonight’s episode of Raw was taped at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa after last Monday’s show. Here are the full results:

– Kevin Owens came out for a promo. Before he even got started, Mojo Rawley interrupted. This led to them having a no DQ match.

– Kevin Owens defeated Mojo Rawley in 7:00

Owens won after a stunner and a pop-up powerbomb through a table. Owens called Rawley a “little bitch” afterwards and called out Seth Rollins and AOP. 

After a break, Rollins and AOP came out. Rollins offered Owens a handshake, but Owens attacked with a superkick. AOP beat Owens down and the heels stood tall.

– Bobby Lashley (w/ Lana) defeated Cedric Alexander in 11:00

Lashley won with a spear. Lana started talking a couple minutes in and got in the ring, imploring Alexander to “show respect.” The Lashley/Lana wedding will be live on December 30. 

– Drew McIntyre defeated Zack Ryder (w/ Curt Hawkins) in 2:00

Squash. McIntyre won with the Claymore Kick. He then attacked Ryder with his old Future Shock DDT after the match, as well as another Claymore on Hawkins. McIntyre cut a genuinely funny promo afterward. He promised that 2020 belongs to him.

– Becky Lynch cut a simple promo calling out Asuka. Asuka came out with Kairi Sane. She cut a promo in English and then a great one in Japanese. “Asuka Two-Belts” is her goal. Becky replied with “any time, any place” in Japanese.

– Aleister Black defeated a local competitor in 0:15

Squash. Black won with the Black Mass. Before Black could even get up the ramp…

– Buddy Murphy defeated a local competitor in 0:15

Another Squash. Murphy won with Murphy’s Law.

Black came back out and they had a staredown. Black extended a handshake, but Murphy shoved him out of the way. Black then laid out Murphy with a Black Mass from behind.

– Ricochet defeated Tony Nese in 2:00

Ricochet won with the Recoil. 

– Charlotte Flair defeated Chelsea Green in 5:00

Flair won with the Figure Eight.

– The O.C .(AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, & Karl Anderson) defeated Randy Orton & The Viking Raiders (Ivar & Erik) in 12:00

Styles pinned Orton with the Phenomenal Forearm. They are now 1-1.

– Erick Rowan defeated a local competitor in 1:00

The enhancement wrestler gave Rowan a candy cane to distract him while he went for Rowan’s cage. Rowan attacked on the outside and pinned the jobber after two claw chokeslams. Still no hint of what’s under Rowan’s canvas.

– Rusev came out to a great reaction. Only Orton got a bigger reaction than him all night. He cut a promo on Bobby Lashley, saying he’s thrilled that Lashley’s marrying Lana because he can’t imagine a worse punishment. No Way Jose came out for their match with the conga line.

– Rusev defeated No Way Jose in 0:30

Rusev won with the Machka Kick, then they danced together afterwards.

– United States Champion Rey Mysterio defeated Seth Rollins (w/ AOP) by DQ in 8:00 to retain his title

Mysterio hit the 619 but AOP interfered during the splash attempt, causing the DQ. 

Afterwards, the heels beat down Rey and cleared the announce table to put him through it. Samoa Joe, who had been doing commentary, stood up to them, ready for a fight. He’s officially turned babyface. AOP then attacked and overwhelmed Joe with the numbers advantage.

Rollins then hit the stomp on Mysterio in the stage, and AOP put Joe through the announcer’s table with their combo powerbomb. Joe looked like he hit his head on the support portion of the table — really nasty.

WWE Raw spoilers for tonight: Survivor Series build continues

Report submitted by Stephen Lyon

After being taped in Manchester, England on Friday, this week’s episode of Raw will air on the USA Network tonight.

WWE is advertising that Seth Rollins’ partners for Survivor Series will be revealed on the show. Rollins has been announced as the first member of Team Raw for their match against Team SmackDown and Team NXT at the pay-per-view.

– Vic Joseph and Jerry Lawler were the announce team for the show.

– Women’s Tag Team Champions Asuka & Kairi Sane defeated Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair

The finish saw Lynch distracted and pinned by Asuka after Shayna Baszler came out of the crowd and was attacked by Bayley. Bayley attacked Lynch after the match.

Bayley was not over as a heel at all. The crowd loudly sang the Hey Bayley song.

– Drew McIntyre defeated Sin Cara

Carolina wasn’t with Sin Cara here.

– R-Truth vs. The Singh Brothers (24/7 Champion Samir Singh & Sunil Singh) ended when Truth chased the Singhs to the back

The crowd hated this and booed. Nothing backstage was shown on the screen.

– Seth Rollins came out for a promo and was booed out of the building. He issued an open challenge, which was accepted by WALTER.

– Seth Rollins defeated WWE United Kingdom Champion WALTER by DQ

The disqualification came when Imperium interfered. Very disappointing. There were loud WALTER chants, but he didn’t get a chance to show much. The Street Profits and Kevin Owens ran in for the save and this turned into an eight-man tag.

– Seth Rollins, The Street Profits & Kevin Owens defeated Imperium (WWE United Kingdom Champion WALTER, Marcel Barthel, Fabian Aichner & Alexander Wolfe)

Fun match. The crowd was very into it and Owens was the most over. Montez Ford over-hit a flip dive to the outside and nearly overshot the announce desk and almost landed on his head in a scary spot.

Rollins pinned Wolfe after Owens hit a stunner. Huge pop.

– A backstage segment saw Randy Orton agree to team with Ricochet & Humberto Carrillo to face The O.C. That came after The O.C. were making fun of Ricochet and Carrillo.

– Andrade defeated Cedric Alexander

– Lana came out for an interview. The crowd absolutely hated this segment. She claimed that she first had sex with Bobby Lashley seven weeks ago but has now discovered she is nine weeks pregnant. The father is Rusev, and she isn’t happy about this.

Rusev came out and wanted an explanation. The crowd chanted “Daddy’s home.” Lashley came out, attacked Rusev, and left him laying. The crowd booed and chanted “boring.” This segment will need major sound sweetening.

– Erick Rowan defeated Soner Durson

This was a quick squash. Rowan came to the ring with a mystery burlap bag and gave it to the announcers to look after.

– Raw Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders defeated Mark Andrews & Flash Morgan Webster

Quick match. The Brits got some offense in and the chance to show off their high-flying moves.

– Ricochet, Humberto Carrillo & Randy Orton defeated The O.C. (United States Champion AJ Styles, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson)

The crowd was dead. Good match. Orton didn’t get along with Ricochet and teased giving him the RKO. Instead, he gave it to Styles and Carrillo moonsaulted Styles for the pin.

– In the dark main event segment, The Fiend beat up all three members of The O.C. They had the red lighting on during this. The bell never rang, so it wasn’t a match. The Fiend got the biggest babyface pop of the night.

The crowd was lively for the SmackDown tapings but dead for most of Raw.

WWE Raw TV taping spoilers: The European tour continues

Posted on by F4W Staff

WWE Raw tonight is set to take place at the O2 Arena in London, England as a part of WWE’s European tour.

Last week on Raw, Bray Wyatt made his presence felt by laying out Finn Balor just as he was about to win a shot at the Intercontinental title. In the same match, Samoa Joe made it known that the situation between him and Seth Rollins was far from over, laying him out on the outside.

With both of his opponents downed, Miz seized upon the opportunity given to him, covering Balor to win the title shot. On tonight’s show we’ll see the likely fallout from all three of these situations, plus much more.

A tag team turmoil match to determine the next contenders for the Raw tag titles will also take place tonight. The Golden Truth, Enzo and Cass, Sheamus and Cesaro, Anderson and Gallows, and Slater and Rhyno are all participants.

The following are incoming spoilers. Tonight we’ll have the full television report as usual.

Cesaro and Sheamus first defeated Enzo and Cass after Cesaro submitted Enzo with the sharpshooter. Sheamus soon followed with another win, pinning Heath Slater with a Brogue kick.
