Night Raw

Location: Bon Secours Wellness Arena, Greenville, South Carolina
Commentators: Michael Cole, John Bradshaw Layfield, Jerry Lawler
We start with a Tonight On Raw preview, focusing on Cena vs. Big Show in the main event.
Occupy Raw
Stephanie McMahon getting arrested for slapping Brie
The Authority being eliminated/Sting debuting
Steve Austin, The Rock and Hulk Hogan opening Wrestlemania
Dolph Ziggler vs. Seth Rollins
Here are some Slammys awarded on the pre-show:
Insult of the Year – Rock insulting Lana and Rusev
Tag Team of the Year – Usos
Breakout Star of the Year – Dean Ambrose
Hashtag of the Year – RKOOUTTANOWHERE
Fan Participation – YOU SOLD OUT to Seth Rollins
Kofi Kingston vs. Stardust
Stardust takes Kofi down to start and steps on his chest before the referee breaks it up in the ropes. A chinlock goes as far as you would expect it to and Kofi fights up with a hurricanrana. Some dropkicks put Starudust down and the NEW DAY Drop (no more Boom) sets up a running knee in the corner. A high cross body is enough to pin Stardust at 2:58.
Johnny Ace is presenting Surprise Return of the Year. After suggesting the People Power replace the Authority, here are the nominees:
Hulk Hogan
Batista
The Rock
Ultimate Warrior
Charlotte vs. Natalya
Tyson Kidd takes the spotlight like he did at Survivor Series.
Seth Sells Out
Nikki Turns On Brie
The Streak Is Conquered
There goes the neck brace and Dean drags the ladder and chair to the ring. He throws the chair in and nails Bray in the ribs with the ladder. Dean throws in a chair and hits Bray square in the head with it. A table comes in as well but Wyatt rolls to the floor. Dean lays on the table with the chair over him. Bray comes back down and gets another chair thrown at him. This Sunday, Dean is going to become the monster and eat Bray alive.
Seth Green brings out Jerry Lawler to present Diva of the Year. The nominees are:
Brie Bella
Nikki Bella
AJ Lee
Paige
Erick Rowan vs. Luke Harper
Post match Rowan fights back and starts throwing the stairs into the ring. Harper takes a big shot to the head and bails.
Adam Rose comes out to present LOL Moment of the Year. The Bunny won Animal of the Year earlier. Rose thinks he should be hosting and says the fans know nothing when they disagree. The nominees are:
WeeLC
Mizdow the Stunt Double
Vickie Guerrero knocking Stephanie into pudding

John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt – Payback
Shield vs. Evolution – Extreme Rules
Team Cena vs. Team Authority – Survivor Series
AJ Lee vs. Summer Rae
Summer mocks AJ for winning the award earlier and AJ goes right at her, only to eat a wheelbarrow slam for two. A spinwheel kick that misses by six inches gets two on AJ before we hit a quickly broken chinlock. AJ pops up and Black Widows Summer for the submission at 2:18.
