Night Raw
Date: April 24, 2017
Location: Sprint Center, Kansas City, Missouri
Commentators: Michael Cole, Booker T., Corey Graves
We open with a long recap of Braun Strowman destroying things for the last two weeks.
Opening sequence.
Sheamus vs. Matt Hardy
Post match tempers seem to flare but they all shake hands.
Neville/TJ Perkins vs. Austin Aries/Jack Gallagher
Braun Strowman vs. Kalisto
Kalisto starts with some kicks but his flip dive is caught in a suplex, only to have Strowman throw him across the ring. A front facelock over the ropes has Strowman in some trouble but he throws Kalisto down again. Strowman loads up a press slam but Kalisto slips out and dropkicks him into the dumpster for the win at 6:13.
Post match Strowman destroys Kalisto and puts him in the dumpster. He locks it shut and pushes the dumpster off the stage for what must have been a full two and a half foot fall. If this is how they want to build up Strowman, they have a LONG way to go.
After a break, Kalisto is stretchered out.
Video on Roman Reigns.
Bray Wyatt wants to make Randy Orton suffer.
Dana Brooke vs. Alicia Fox
Emma hugs Dana, who shoves her away.
Samoa Joe and Anderson and Gallows are ready to torture Enzo Amore/Big Cass and Seth Rollins.
Enzo Amore/Big Cass/Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe/Anderson and Gallows
Enzo does his full entrance but the villains jump him from the crowd. Rollins runs out for the save but Enzo is laid out as we go to a break. Back with Angle announcing a replacement for the injured Enzo.
Finn Balor/Big Cass/Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe/Anderson and Gallows
Seth loads up the springboard knee to Anderson but Joe kicks him in the knee. Cue Balor to take care of Joe, leaving Rollins to hit a springboard clothesline on Anderson. Seth loads up the Pedigree but opts for a hammerlock jumping knee to the face (think the Rainmaker) for the pin at 5:58.
Sasha Banks vs. Alexa Bliss
Bayley goes after Bliss but Alexa runs away, only to turn around and get in a cheap shot. Sasha chases her off.
Curt Hawkins issues an open challenge to his “Star Factory”.
Curt Hawkins vs. Apollo Crews
Crews is looking bigger tonight. They trade some shots to start until Crews hits a running boot to the face. A jumping clothesline sets up an enziguri, followed by the Toss Powerbomb for the pin on Hawkins at 2:09.
We look back at Kalisto and Strowman. Kalisto has suffered hip and cervical trauma.
Long video on Strowman vs. Reigns.
Dean Ambrose/Chris Jericho vs. The Miz/???
