This is my view of what took place on RAW on this past Monday. They opened with a recap of Drew/Randy title match.
Adam Pearce in the ring, Team RAW in the ring, celebrating their win at Survivor Series.
In a tag team match last week, The new day put the belts up against Shelton Benjamin/Cedric Alexander – New Day won and went onto Survivor Series. Shelton/Cedric are not happy and demanded a rematch. Match just ended on a double count-out. M.V.P screaming that they won. The match is being restarted. The New Day has managed once again to keep the belts.
Matt Riddle in a hard-fought match holds his own, pin for pin facing Sheamus. It could have gone either way but Riddle, in the end, managed to get Sheamus pinned.
Lana in a match with Asuka. Shayna/Nia on the way to ringside. Nia/Shayna not happy that Lana got a title shot. Asuka was about to go through the announcers table when Lana saved Asuka. Of course, Nia/Shayna being bullies. Shayna not paying attention gets pinned by Asuka
Bobby Lashley vs Keith Lee. It was a solid match, Keith is a little bit bigger and bulkier than Bobby. I know that Bobby would try the full nelson but it would be too hard for him to completely lock it in. Keth with a hard-fought win, facing Riddle and waiting to see who would be the third participant in the triple threat match. (End of the night it was A.J who won the match against Randy)
Nikki Cross facing Alexa Bliss, this match could of been better but it was set up to put an end to the team. We all knew alexa would turn on Nikki to beat her.
In the final match of the night it would be Randy Orton facing A.J Styles to qualify for the triple threat match. Randy had height on A.J but they are matched pretty good in strength. The Fiend popped up out of no where, distracting Randy. Lights out again just as Randy is setting up for the RKO. Another quick visit by the Fiend, shanking Randy enough to cause him to lose the match. (is this a possible set up for a storyline between Randy and Bray)
