Hideo Itami vs Luke Harper vs Tommaso Ciampa
This was a preview of the elimination match at WrestleMania, as members of all three teams met in a triple threat match. Luke Harper and Tommaso Ciampa formed an alliance early on, knowing that they couldn't allow Hideo to pick up momentum for the champs. This worked rather well, and it came down to Harper and Ciampa. The Pyscho Killer looked for Project Ciampa, but Harper countered and turned Tommaso inside out with a running lariat to pick up the win for the Wyatt Family.
Winner: Luke Harper
Roman Reigns Interview
The Big Dog was conducting an interview for WWE.com, and issued a response to Cesaro. He stated that he has no interest in Raw or SmackDown; he's only in this for the guaranteed championship match. If Cesaro wants to care about his value that's fine; it won't matter when he's staring at the lights.
The Undertaker vs Mark Henry
The Deadman made his return to Monday Night Raw, but he was in for a fight as he took on Mark Henry. The World's Strongest Man dished out a lot of punishment, taking The Undertaker to his limits. But as he has so many times before, the Phenom rallied, catching Henry with a Tombstone Piledriver to get the three count.
After the match, Dean Ambrose looked to get some revenge. He took to the ring and unleashed on the man he will meet in six days inside Hell in a Cell. A Dirty Deeds spelled lights out for The Undertaker, as the Lunatic Fringe made his mark.
Winner: The Undertaker
Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho vs Sami Zayn and John Cena
We hadn't seen these men teaming together in the past, so this was certainly an interesting encounter. Surprisingly, Owens and Jericho worked well as a team, as they put their individual egos aside. Meanwhile, John Cena ignored his partner for much of the match, choosing to go it alone. This strategy didn't really work, as Sami grew increasingly frustrated on the apron, forced to watch his two most hated enemies control the match. In the end, Cena simply had nothing left, and was out off of a Pop-Up Powerbomb from KO. Sami got in Owens' face, allowing Jericho to tag himself in and steal the win, while Owens and Zayn brawled to the outside.
Winners: Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho
Samoa Joe and Goldberg Contract Signing
Shane McMahon oversaw a fairly quiet contract signing, as both men seemed motivated to get this done with. After they both signed, Samoa Joe fetched a mic. He taunted Goldberg, looking to get a rise out of the champ, before crossing the line when he insulted the champ's family. Shane's no-contact clause seemed in jeopardy, as the Raw GM held champion and challenger apart. Eventually, ordered was restored, and Shane then got on the mic. Although he was not allowing any physicality tonight, he promised that there would be plenty this Sunday. That's because Goldberg and Samoa Joe will be fighting for the World Heavyweight Title in a No Holds Barred Match! Following this big announcement, Goldberg stared Joe down, before issuing a final warning.
"Samoa Joe..................YOU'RE NEXT!!!"
