Night Raw
Date: July 18, 2016
Location: Dunkin’ Donuts Center, Providence, Rhode Island
Commentators: Michael Cole, Byron Saxton, John Bradshaw Layfield
Opening sequence.
Chris Jericho/Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn/Cesaro
Alberto Del Rio vs. Darren Young
John Cena/Enzo Amore/Big Cass/New Day vs. The Club/Wyatt Family
We come back again with Bray missing his backsplash to Cena, allowing the hot tag to Cass. Everything breaks down again and New Day cleans house on the Wyatts. Woods hits a big flip dive to take them all out but Gallows breaks up Bada Book Shakalacka. New Day and the Wyatts fight up the ramp, leaving Enzo to clothesline Cena by mistake. The Styles Clash ends Amore at 18:58.
Earlier today, Seth Rollins was in the empty arena (well save for the cameramen) to talk about how they came through so many stands to fight. He was the brilliant mind and kept Ambrose around to take the beatings and Reigns around to dish them out. After Sunday, Reigns will never be the same again. Ambrose on the other hand is a coward who is running out of places to hide. This Sunday, Rollins will prove he was always the man.
We recap the opening segment.
Baron Corbin vs. Sin Cara
Kalisto comes out for the post match save but gets beaten down as well.
Charlotte/Dana Brooke vs. Becky Lynch/Sasha Banks
Sasha gets beaten down post match.
Rusev/Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler/Zack Ryder
Video on Randy Orton.
Video on Cena hosting the ESPYs.
Raw World Title: Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins
Rollins is challenging and all the bosses are at ringside. Dean headlocks him to start and Seth bails out to the floor. The champ sends him into the barricade and we take a break. Back with Seth in control and putting on a chinlock. A hard right hand gives Seth some near falls before both try cross bodies at the same time. Dean fights up first and hammers on Seth a bit, including a forearm to put him on the floor.
So apparently after the show went off the air, a bonus clip aired on the Network where Ambrose was declared champion because it was a screwy finish. You know, because THREE HOURS AND EIGHT MINUTES isn’t enough content.
