Lumberjack Match
– Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose

After the announcers talk in disgust about the Russian ceremony we just witnessed following the Rusev-Swagger “Flag Match,” a video package is shown highlighting the history of the Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose feud, leading into tonight’s Lumberjack Match.

Following the video package, we see a shot live inside the arena of all of the lumberjacks standing around the outside of the ring. From there, “Mr. Money In The Bank” Seth Rollins is introduced. After he makes his way to the ring, Dean Ambrose’s theme song plays and out he comes to the ring.

The bell rings and here we go. The two immediately start trading punches in the center of the ring, an exchange that Ambrose gets the better of. Ambrose follows up the punching exchange by putting the boots to his former Shield partner in the corner.

The fans are alive in Los Angeles for this lumberjack match. Already, Rollins has hit the floor twice and was immediately thrown back into the ring. The announcers are strongly putting over how Ambrose must be loving the fact that he chose a lumberjack match for the stipulation tonight, as it has worked to his advantage thus far. One would assume that will come back to bite him on the ass at the end of the match, where it counts the most, however that remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, back in the ring, Ambrose is still doing a number on Rollins. One mis-timed spot, however, and now Ambrose is on the receiving end of some punishment. Ambrose is thrown to the floor where the lumberjacks swarm and throw him back into the ring for Rollins, who is waiting to deliver more punishment. As soon as Ambrose is back in the ring, that’s exactly what Rollins does — delivers more punishment to Ambrose.

As it turns out, the lumberjacks aren’t able to do their job that well, as the next time the action between Ambrose and Rollins spills out to the floor, the lumberjacks cannot get them back inside the ring. Ambrose and Rollins fight through the lumberjacks and into the crowd, where Ambrose is beating Rollins up all over the arena.

The camera shots aren’t all that clear at the moment, but it appears as though many of the lumberjacks have gone into the crowd to try and get them back in the ring. Rollins fights his way away from them and is trying to run backstage and quit the match. This doesn’t work, however, as right when Rollins reaches the entrance way, the lumberjacks carry him back to the ring. Once they’re back near ringside, Ambrose flies off the top rope and splashes onto Rollins and all of the lumberjacks that were carrying him.

Back in the ring — finally — and Ambrose and Rollins are going at it. Ambrose goes for his finisher, but Rollins avoids it. Ambrose remains in control of the offense, however, turning Rollins inside-out with a huge clothesline. A loud “this is awesome” chant breaks out in Los Angeles, as Ambrose and Rollins are living up to the high expectations that many die-hard pro wrestling fans had for this match.

As Rollins goes to get up, Ambrose hits him with his own Curb-Stomp finisher. As Ambrose goes to pin Rollins, however, Corporate Kane comes into the ring and blatantly breaks up the pin attempt. Goldust gets in Kane’s face so Kane punches him. Now, all of the lumberjacks hit the ring and all hell breaks loose. When the smoke clears, however, Rollins blasts Ambrose with his Money In The Bank briefcase. 1-2-3. Rollins wins.

Winner: Seth Rollins

Harper & Rowan Banned From Ringside
– Chris Jericho vs. Bray Wyatt

A video package is shown highlighting the return of Chris Jericho and the feud he developed with Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt Family, resulting in tonight’s Jericho-Wyatt rematch, where Luke Harper and Erick Rowan are banned from ringside.

After the video package wraps up, Bray Wyatt appears on the titan tron with his latern. “Los Angeles, I’m here.” He blows out the latern, the lights go out, The Wyatt Family theme plays and Bray makes his way to the ring. We see a shot of thousands of cell phone lights in the arena being waived back-and-forth by the fans. The announcers put over the fact that Bray is alone tonight, as Harper and Rowan are banned from ringside.

Wyatt, by the way, is wearing some kind of weird butcher’s apron or something. Anyways, Chris Jericho’s entrance takes place and the first ever WWE Undisputed Champion makes his way to the ring for his big pay-per-view rematch with the leader of The Wyatt Family. Jericho won their first meeting, tonight is their second. Jericho’s light-up jacket, by the way, is a bit more colorful and lit-up than usual.

The bell rings and here we go. There are some dueling chants from the fans. Some are chanting “Y2J” and the others are chanting for Bray Wyatt. In the ring, meanwhile, Jericho jumps off to an early offensive lead in this contest. The action quickly spills out to the floor. Jericho delivers some additional punishment to Wyatt before the action returns to the ring.

Back in the ring, Jericho puts the boots to Wyatt in the corner as the announcers put over how awesome the previous Lumberjack Match between Rollins and Ambrose was. They talk about the $9.99 price tag for the WWE Network as Wyatt takes over the offense in this match outside the ring, beating up Jericho on the floor.

Wyatt continues to dominate Jericho for several minutes. Jericho finally makes a bit of a comeback, but while he is doing so, Wyatt does his freaky back-bridge and stops Jericho dead in his tracks. Jericho backs off, Wyatt kneels down and yells at Jericho that he can’t be killed because he’s already dead.

Finally, both guys stand up and a shocked Jericho composes himself and blasts Wyatt out of the blue with a Codebreaker. It isn’t long, however, before Wyatt is comfortably back in control of the offense in this match. The fans break out into a loud “let’s go Wyatt” and “Y2J” dueling chant. Wyatt simply picks Jericho up and hits him with his Sister Abigail finisher on the floor. Back in the ring, Wyatt blasts Jericho with another Sister Abigail. A three-count later and Wyatt wins.

Winner: Bray Wyatt

After The Match

Bray Wyatt gets on the microphone after his victory. He makes a comment about Chris Jericho “following the buzzard” and then sings the chorus to “He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands.”
