This should be an interesting night, with the main card at least. Caught a bit of the 20 billion team tag on the pre-show. Twas a match. Gable hitting a German off the top onto a pile of guys on the floor was great stuff. Woods eats a shatter machine after going for the springboard elbow. Women's tag match opens the show. Nia gets booed big-time and rattles her fist. Bayley is dressed like Bob "Spark Plug" Holly with red and a white and black checkerboard getup. Nia's CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA CHOO CHOO misses! Bayley and Sonya just sorta bonk to the floor and that takes them out. Sasha taps to Asuka. Nia hits three legdrops and a Samoan drop to win it - so now Nia Jax has also beaten Asuka. That was a goddamn terrible match in the same that it lacked anything good. The best thing about it was Nia as the sole survivor actually being called the sole survivior instead of how they've done it - which is have multiple people survive and somehow be sole survivors.
Corbin talks to Steph, but can't be heard over someone smacking a mic. Paige and Shane say that Raw will be feeling blue later. YES! They're hyping up a Steph nut-cutting in advance. That'll bring in ratings! Seth's out in a half Shield/half Raw shirt to face a blue-clad Nakamura in a blue shirt. Ugh. Seth goes for a dive but eats a kick before landing two dives a bit afterwards. Springboard lariat gets 2 for Seth. Botchmania superkick by Seth gets sold far before it actually hits for 2. High fly flow misses and the kinshasa to the neck hits for 2. Seth being a Tanahashi moveset spammer is coming back to bite him! Stomp ends it after 3050 years. Team Raw chats and Braun barks orders. Truth interrupts the idiocy - thank God.
The Bar comes out to face AOP, with new goofy bullshit masks. Enzo does some crap in the front row. Show chokes Spud. YES. BIG SHOW VS. ROCKSTAR SPUD! Please stop this match right now and put this in its place! Nevermind. Spud pisses himself and then a Batista bomb/neckbreaker ends it. So AOP just beat the holder of every on-paper title on record in WWE for the last decade...why? Cesaro exists to do these jobs.
Nice hype video for Ali vs. Murphy. If they put this presentation on Raw, the cruisers might actually have a chance to get over. Rewind rana gets 2 for Ali. Draping tornado DDT gets 2 for Ali. Spanish fly off the announce table. Murphy's Law ends it and Nigel talks about 205 Live reigning supreme. A. Wo-man. Asks. Dan-iel. Bry-an. Some. Que-stions. A-bout. His. Match. To-night. He says nothing and a Lars Sullivan hype video airs.
Dolph comes out in a tremendous goofy outfit. Joe gets taken out in seconds and Shane decks Dolph with a back elbow. Zig Zag gets 2 on Shane via a save. Shane flying elbow to Braun on the table. Rey takes out Balor with a frog splash. Drew takes out Balor because of course. Shane hits one coast to coast, but gets swatted by Braun on the second one. Braun takes out Jeff and now it's Shane vs. Braun, Drew, and Lashley. Braun powerslams Shane and becomes SOLE SURVIVORS WITH all of them. Baron jumps Braun anyway, so none of this meant anything. Ronda vs. Charlotte is up.
Charlotte lands an elbow to Ronda and slices her face. Ronda's worried about camel toe during a boston crab. Ronda eats a nasty spear for 2! Ronda gets figure 4d and worries about a wedige before giving Charlotte one on the floor and looking exhausting all busted up. She's definitely upping her game in real-time here. Piper's Pit Samoan Drop hits Charlotte, and Charlotte hits her with a kendo stick and breaks it before landing a perfect Natural Selection on the chair. Charlotte turning heel to fight the now-officially-face Becky is awesome - she is far better as a heel. Charlotte beats up refs and Pillmanizes Ronda's head.
