RAW AFTER MANIA.
The Raw after mania is always a great one, fallouts from the night before, returns and debuts and there was a lot of action last night:
Steph kicks off the show, talks about last night match with Kurt and ronda, is also sporting a cast on her arm after the arm bar ronda did, the crowd booed steph and chanted you tapped out, one thing I have to say about steph is she's so good at play the bad chick. She's almost too good at it, steph talk trash about ronda, saying ronda only did what she did because of steph, that she brought out the best in ronda after that steph brings out ronda and the crowd goes mental as expected, the crowd then chant ronda's name, after steph admits the better woman won and called her a role model for young girls and people ever. Steph then continues to try and get ronda on the side of the authority, a bullshit chant breaks out while steph tries to talk the authority up to ronda, they shake hands and hug, the thing about ronda is she doesn't need words to do the talking she has the actions after the hug and hand shake was just a trick ronda locks the arm bar on steph. Safe to say ronda doesn't want part of the authority, chants broke out for steph while the meds looked at her and it was announced to have a little respect for Steph.
Up next was the new raw woman's champion nia jax:
She comes out to cheers from the crowd and talks about last night match where she defeated her ex best friend Alexa Bliss for the title, the match itself on raw was nia and her partner vs Alexa and Mickie, Nia's partner is debuting and former nxt woman's champion Ember Moon, before the match the crowd breakout in a you deserve it chant, Alexa and Mickie come out talking trash about how Alexa wasn't ready, how the fact nia had attacked Mickie before match, and called nia the bully, that nia loves to throw her weight around the crowd then began an asshole chant, one thing is for sure Alexa plays her bad girl round very very well after the Alexa trash talk nia introduced her partner Ember Moon, the first debut of the night. Side night to the match it's nice that wwe have picked nia as champion its different and nice the fact nia is a bigger girl, its not often in wwe the bigger girls get a chance and it's finally Nia's time who has the message that she loves herself and spreads that message, I hope they give her an amazing title run. The match was very back and fourth with ember moon and nia coming out on top, ember got to show what's she's about and what she did on nxt, she picked up the win for the team.
WINNER: nia jax & ember moon.
Up next was the next debut of the night another nxt star no way jose:
The crowd reacted well to him, I just hope it's not a repeat of the fandangoing because that died out on the Main roster, he is a talented man hopefully the crowd continue you to treat him the way the nxt crowd do, the match was over within seconds, his entrance was longer then the match
Up next wasn't segment between Kurt and the bar, where they asked for the titles back, where Kurt informed them there would be a tag team eliminator match, this is to see who's going to face the bar in 3 weeks, the first match was between the club and the revival the match was back and fourth as always with most tag team matches.
WINNERS: the revival
Up next was a seth rollins segment where he came out and talked about winning at mania and becoming a grand slam champion, finn then joined in him in the celebrations, finn tells him congratulations and that he deserves it, but then tells him that last night he was the better man, there was a winner a loser then this guy who was left wanting more, finn then challenges him to the IC championship which seth agrees top until the miz comes out with his two lap dogs, now the miz has so much respect because without him that title would mean nothing he's been the best IC champion there's been in a while, the miz tells seth he doesn't deserve it, the miz then talks about how he walked down there by himself, but then it came across that he can't win without them, but that's not what he meant, he mentioned how he become a father and that changed him, seth reminding him that he can't lace sets boots, miz wants his rematch at backlash things then broke down between seth and finn and the miz and his lap dogs, here was the first return of the night the one and only Jeff Hardy who teamed up with seth and finn but the miz and his lap dogs bailed, setting up a tag match between the miz and the lap dogs and finn and seth and hardy, the crowd went insane for hardy as expected as soon as his music hit.
Up next was mandy rose joined by paige and sonya vs sasha banks who came to the ring by herself, but bayley came out after sasha to be ringside for sasha so it seems anyway, the match was good, was back and fourth with some good moves bayley then goes to take out mandy then ends up taking out sasha by accident, mandy takes advantage and picks up the win as bayley leaves ringside "upset".
Everyone leaves the ring leaving paige to talk, this is where she tells everyone about her retirement, it was a very emotional speech, I have done a whole blog post on that, I truly feel sorry for paige, such a short career, in all hope she gets to come back. She talked about who she wanted the thank then left it all in the ring her merchandise and the mic. She still has hope that one day she can come back. The thank you paige chant broke out. We will miss you paige, stay strong girl.
WINNERS: Mandy Rose
Up next was Elias playing another song, the crowd clapped along, it was Elias vs the returning Bobby Lashley, the crowd went insane as soon as his music hit, he came out and picked up and put down Elias the statement was made.
Cut to Kurt in another segment between Kevin Owen and Sami Zayn, they asked for a place at raw as a tag team in which Kurt tells them he doesn't have room for them as a tag team and has a little dig at tna are hiring, so send up a match between them the winner gets a raw contract.
The next match was heath slater and rhyno who asked for a tag team in the back to come on and take them on, this is where the authors of pain debuted an nxt team, the match was over pretty damn quick and was pretty much one side with authors of pain picking up the win
WINNERS: Authors of Pain.
Up next was roman reigns segment the crowd had a mix reaction and he was definitely feeling the pain from mania, he went on to talk about last night's match and brock and how he was here at Monday night raw and that brock wasn't, he went on to say how Vince couldn't even look him in the eye, he went on about how brock is a business man that he was going back to ufc, then he found out via the Internet that he has resigned there match he didn't even know about he ended the segment by saying that he will become the champion as he was leaving the ring Samoa Joe returned the crowd reaction to this was good and told roman that brock lesnar exposed him, by beating him and that he failed and he's a failure and a liar every time roman and brock get in the ring together he gets broken and lesnar gets richer, he tells roman wants brock is done with roman he will be waiting at backlash to put him to sleep.
Up next was the next part of the tag team eliminator it was Titus worldwide vs matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt this is the first time we have seen anything of matt and bray since he joined him at mania, this storyline is an interesting one and could end up with seeing the two lets call them not all put together people they could be come tag team champions, the match between the four was back and fourth and showed more of the team that could become between matt and bray, they picked up the win to face the revival next week on raw.
WINNERS; Matt and Bray
Up next was the match between Kevin Owen and Sami Zayn as expected and as other matches between the too have always been good and this was no different, the match was back and fourth but they beat each other down so much that they didn't meet the count of ten and there was no winner, the two always put on good matches, the ref told JoJo that since there was no winner neither will get a job, the crowd didn't like it and neither did Sami or Kevin.
Up next was the tag team match & also the main event between Hardy, Balor & Rollins vs The Miz & miztourage, before the match there was a backstage segment showing Jeff walking with finn and seth and bumping in to match where they exchange words in a woken manner that hints at maybe brother Nero is going to show himself soon, matt introduces bray to Jeff as they left finn and seth asks what the hell was that Jeff just pulls an I don't know face and leaves them to go out to the match,
The match itself was back and fourth, all one them playing a part the returning Jeff showing not signs of his arm showing any problems, the match ended with seth picking up the win by pinning the miz after the match Jeff, Finn and seth all hit their finishes on the miztourage.
WINNERS: Rollins, Hardy, Balor.
