Night Raw
Date: February 20, 2017
Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, California
Commentators: Michael Cole, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton
In Memory of George Steele. Not Ivan Koloff for some reason.
We open with a long recap of the Festival of Friendship and Kevin Owens turning on Chris Jericho. Sweet popcorn baked into a pie that was an amazing segment.
Cesaro/Sheamus vs. Enzo Amore/Big Cass
Owens is leaving when Mick Foley comes in to say he has a match with Sami Zayn tonight. Kevin chuckles and says he thought Foley liked Sami.
Video on Braun Strowman.
Brian Kendrick vs. Akira Tozawa
Roman Reigns/??? vs. Anderson and Gallows
Post match Reigns Superman Punches Gallows and spears Anderson out of the air, sending the champs crawling away.
Video on New Day being announced as the hosts of Wrestlemania.
New Day vs. Rusev/Jinder Mahal
Video on George Steele.
Austin Aries is in the ring for the contract signing between Neville and Jack Gallagher. Since Gallagher is present, there are already cookies and tea prepared. Gallagher quickly signs before Neville can even come out. Neville does the same and immediately goes to leave, only to be stopped by Gallagher.
Nia Jax b. Sara Pierce
Splash and Samoan drop finish Pierce at 34 seconds.
Black History Month video on Barack Obama.
Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte
Bayley is on commentary. Joined in progress again with Sasha grabbing a headscissors but getting her face driven into the match. Charlotte does the Figure Four faceplants and grabs a necklock. Sasha is sent outside and we take a break. Back with Charlotte grabbing a dragon sleeper. Sasha fights out and makes her comeback, including a dropkick in the corner. Cue Dana Brooke for a distraction but Bayley cuts her off, allowing the Banks Statement to make Charlotte tap at 10:03.
Diamond Dallas Page Hall of Fame video. This is LONG overdue.
Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn
At 10:48pm, this show is dedicated to the memory of Ivan Koloff.
The ring is reenforced for the main event.

Post match Reigns comes out and gets in a few Superman Punches but Strowman hits the powerslam to end the show.
