Bray Wyatt vs CM Punk
Harper and Rowan(c) vs Brothers of Destruction- World Tag Title Match, Elimination Tag
Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns
Summary:
This edition of Raw, live from Chicago, opened with Brock Lesnar yet again issuing his open challenge, which was answered by Jay Lethal. Lethal was ready to give it everything he had, but ran into trouble early. Lesnar was just too much, overpowering Lethal and connecting with two consecutive F-5s to get the job done. Next up, the Women's champ Trish Stratus faced the debuting Kelly Kelly. Kelly was in no mood to play games, and both women traded offense. Trish connected on a Chick Kick, but Kelly connected on a K2. Trish attempted to escape, but was stopped by Kelly, who rolled her back into the ring for another K2. As Kelly pinned, Trish reached out to grab the bottom rope, but the referee failed to notice, giving Kelly a surprise victory. After the controversial call, Trish demanded a rematch, which will take place next week on Raw. Following his victory over Chris Jericho at Extreme Rules, Bray Wyatt returned to action against CM Punk. Punk was suffered a pair of broken ribs against Jericho a few weeks ago, and Wyatt exploited that fact, targeting the midsection. Wyatt twice nearly submitted Punk, but Punk fought with everything he had. A big neck breaker followed by the GTS seemed to have given Punk the win, but Wyatt powered out at only 1. Wyatt then hit the Sister Abigail, but Punk kicked out. A senton followed by another Sister Abigail got the job done, but not before Punk pushed the champ to his absolute limits.
The co main event saw the Brothers of Destruction use their rematch clause to face Harper and Rowan for the belts they just won at Extreme Rules. Early on, Harper hit a cheap shot on the Undertaker, which sparked a brawl as Kane and Erick Rowan got involved. The champs scored a near fall on Taker following a double back body drop, and another on Kane after the big heel kick from Rowan. Rowan scored another near fall on Kane after a running body splash, and the champs were in complete control. The challengers reversed the tide following a drop kick from Kane, who then supexed Rowan from the top rope to the floor, which got the crowd to their feet. Harper then saved his partner, catching Kane unawares and hit the discus clothesline. Kane was down outside the ring as the ref's count continued, and the Undertaker simply refused to help his partner, instead letting his own brother be counted out to be eliminated. Taker did his best but the numbers game was too much, as The Way was enough for victory, with Harper and Rowan retaining their belts. Main event time, and former Shield mates collide as Seth Rollins faced Roman Reigns. It was Rollins' second consecutive Raw main event, and he was determined to come out victorious this time around. Early on, Roman was on fire, hitting big move after big move, but Rollins left the ring several times to break up momentum. Rollins hit his rolling superkick, but Reigns kicked out and went for the spear, which Rollins countered into a DDT. Rollins would send Reigns to the outside, triggering a massive brawl. Once they got back into the ring, Reigns went for the spear again, but Rollins countered for the second time. For the second match in a row, there was a big superplex to the floor, this time hit by Rollins. Rollins then picked Reigns up and laid him out on the announce table, before risking life and limb hitting a flying elbow from the top rope to put Roman through the table. Seth got too cocky and was caught by Roman, who nearly got him on a roll up. Seth got back up only to be hit with a huge spear as Roman finally connected, but still couldn't get the three count. The match went outside the ring again, and Rollins showed his tenacity, smashing Roman's head off the ring post repeatedly. Seth, thinking he had enough time to beat the ten count, then delivered a devastating pedigree, busting Reigns open. He waited too long, however, and both men were counted out. After a fantastic match, neither man gained enough of an advantage to end up victorious in the end. It's interesting to note that this was the first draw of the series, so we'll see where this budding rivalry goes from here.
That's it for this episode of Universe Mode, stay tuned for NXT. I hope you enjoyed, and I'll see you again soon.
