Non-Title Match
Dolph Ziggler vs. Kevin Owens
Dolph Ziggler made his entrance for a match against Kevin Owens. Tyler Breeze and Summer Rae made their entrance. Cole said the match was coming up after the break… [C]
Breeze and Summer sat in their VIP Section. Cole said something about how Breeze might be up for a Slammy Award for best gimmick for use of the selfie stick. Ugh. Dean Ambrose was shown eating popcorn while watching the match backstage.
[Q5] With Ziggler staggering with his fists up, Owens asked if he wanted to put his dukes up and then punched him. “Show me something!” Owens yelled at him. Ziggler landed a punch, but Owens quickly regained control. Owens continued to dominate the offense, but he couldn’t put Ziggler away. Ziggler rolled to ringside after a two count and the announcers questioned how he was still going. The audio cut out so they had to censor something right before the break. [C]
Owens was still in control coming out of the break, and Dean Ambrose was still eating popcorn with a soda in hand backstage. Ziggler came back briefly and sold a shoulder injury. Owens caught him leaping for a move and dumped him to the floor. Owens followed and Ziggler caught him with a DDT on the floor.
Ziggler dodged a cannonball and then came back with a Fameasser for a two count at 17:35. Ziggler continued to sell the shoulder. At 19:00, Owens shoved Ziggler off the ropes and put him away with the Pop Up Powerbomb.
[Q6] After the match, Dean Ambrose walked to ringside with his soda and popcorn. Owens asked him what he wanted and complained that his music was supposed to be playing. Ambrose threw the soda pop and popcorn at him and then left the ring.
Winner: Kevin Owens
Backstage: Bray Wyatt Promo
The Wyatt Family sounder played and Bray Wyatt delivered a backstage promo about how there are now four blind mice. Strowman said he has a dream that he becomes Tommy Dreamer’s nightmare. Wyatt said Strowman will show Dreamer what it truly means to be extreme.
Strowman said run… Cole hyped Dreamer vs. Strowman for later in the show… Team BAD made their entrance for a tag match.
Backstage: The Miz, Neville & Donnie Deutsch
Backstage, The Miz approached Neville in his locker room and the camera just happened to be there! Miz made his pitch about taking Neville from being an “elf on the shelf” and making him the next Daniel Bryan. Miz introduced Donnie Deutsch, whose new shows debuts after Raw. Deutsch wants Neville on the show, but he wasn’t so keen on having Miz. After Deutsch left, Miz gave Neville his card. Neville threw it aside once Miz left.
Sasha Banks and Naomi vs. Brie Bella and Alicia Fox
Brie and Alicia received no reaction during their entrance. Cole referred to Brie and Alicia as “The Bellas” multiple times. Tamina pulled Alicia down when the referee wasn’t looking.
[Q7] Alicia sold before kicking one of the heels into the other and then tagged in Brie. All four women ended up in the ring. Alicia and Sasha were both dumped to ringside. Sasha held Brie’s leg from the floor while Tamina distracted the referee, and then Naomi performed the Rearview on Brie and pinned her.
Winner: Sasha Banks
The New Day & Team B.A.D Dance, New Day Promo
After the match, New Day made their entrance and the Team BAD women looked a strange combination of nervous and afraid. New Day had unicorn hats on. However, the women decided they liked their hats. New Day gave them their own unicorn hats and then they all danced together.
The Usos were on commentary. New Day was still in the ring. Big E said they are not selfish. Xavier Woods said they made a large donation to League of Nations. They spoke about giving name ideas to Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. One of the names was Booty West.
New Day spoke about having to defend their tag titles in a Triple Threat ladder match. They did a skit and then capped it off by singing New Day Rocks. The crowd was pretty much silent until they got to the chant. The Lucha Dragons made their entrance, and Cole hyped John Cena (who?) appearing on The Tonight Show on Tuesday.
