Night Raw
Date: March 27, 2017
Location: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Commentators: Michael Cole, Byron Saxton, Corey Graves
Opening sequence.
Bayley/Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax/Charlotte
Nia drops everyone post match, including a splash to Charlotte, allowing her to hold up the title.
We look back at Mick Foley being fired last week.
Sami Zayn enters the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal to honor Foley’s legacy. Stephanie comes up and says not so fast because Sami hasn’t earned that right. Therefore, tonight he has to defeat Kevin Owens in a No DQ match. If he loses, he can join Foley on the unemployment line. She’s always had some weird obsession with that match but at least we don’t have to hear about her being Andre’s friend.
Austin Aries vs. Noam Dar
We look back at HHH demanding Rollins sign a paper to prevent lawsuits due to injuries.
We look at Goldberg beating Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series.
Back from a break and we look at what we just saw.
Over the Top Rope Challenge
We look back at Sheamus and Cesaro winning a handicap match in 40 seconds last week.
Anderson and Gallows think Enzo and Cass are stupid.
The Undertaker is digging graves.
New Day rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, gave out cheese steaks and New Day Pops to people in Philadelphia and trained by running the Rocky Steps.
Neville vs. Jack Gallagher
We look at Goldberg eliminating Lesnar from the Royal Rumble.
Enzo Amore/Big Cass vs. Anderson and Gallows
Long video on HHH vs. Rollins with HHH talking about Rollins collapsing underneath the pressure (meaning his knee injury) and giving up everything he was handed. This gets the big music video treatment and does a good job setting up a very shaky story.
We run down the Wrestlemania card. The Cruiserweight Title is officially on the Kickoff Show.
Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens
Results
Bayley/Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax/Charlotte – Bayley to Belly to Charlotte
Austin Aries b. Noam Dar – Last Chancery
An Over the Top Rope Challenge went to a no contest
Neville b. Jack Gallagher – Rings of Saturn
