Night Raw
Date: September 5, 2016
Location: Sprint Center Arena, Kansas City, Missouri
Commentators: Michael Cole, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton
The opening video looks at the last five minutes of Raw and focuses on the big online reaction.
Foley actually cuts her off and tells a story about meeting Stephanie just after he flew off the Cell in 1998 and thought she was an innocent girl. Stephanie almost sounds vulnerable as she asks how she can maintain a shred of dignity after what happened last week. Mick believes her but gives a thinly veiled threat if this is all a lie.
Opening sequence.
This was good stuff for the most part, assuming you can ignore HHH helping Rollins last week not being brought up. Rollins seemingly turning face (or at least starting it off) is a really good thing and WAY overdue but it certainly seems to be a slower burn than a full on version. Either way, Clash just got a lot better looking on paper.
Charlotte vs. Bayley
Charlotte yells at Dana, who promises to make up for it. That earns her one heck of a slap in the face.
Bo Dallas vs. Kyle Roberts
Owens and Jericho fire each other up.
Chris Jericho vs. Seth Rollins
Cesaro vs. Sheamus
Match #3 in the series with Cesaro down 2-0 and coming in with a bad shoulder/back. Cesaro grabs some rollups for early near falls but a backdrop has him in trouble. Sheamus sends the back into the apron and drives in some knees. The Cloverleaf is blocked but Sheamus grabs four straight Irish Curses for a near fall. With that not working, Sheamus lifts him up for the Celtic Cross but drops it down into a backbreaker. The Brogue Kick makes it 3-0 to Sheamus at 4:06.
Shining Stars vs. Enzo Amore/Big Cass
Nia Jax vs. Ann Esposito
We look back at the opening sequence.
Darren Young vs. Jinder Mahal
Darren and Titus fight again after the match.
Alicia Fox checks on her injured friend when Nia Jax, who just happened to be there, shows up and laughs. Total Divas is mentioned and Fox yells a lot while throwing things. Nia just leaves as she goes nuts.
Braun Strowman vs. Sin Cara
Strowman beats Cara up even worse post match.
Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens
