WWE RAW REPORT: THE FIEND ADDS TO HIS LIST OF VICTIMS, MATCHES MADE OFFICIAL FOR HIAC, WE HAVE A KING, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2019-09-16 22:58:00

We are in Knoxville, Tennessee and your announcers are Renee Young, Michael Cole, and Corey Graves.

The Universal Champion Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring.  

Seth says last night was a hell of a night, but they have a lot to unpack because the night didn't start out that great.  He lost the Raw Tag Titles.  It does not matter whose fault it was because they lost as a team.  Then they had to prepare for their Universal Title Match.  Seth says that he wants to tell everyone something that you might not know about Braun Strowman.  He is very big and he is very strong.  Braun gave him the fight of his life.  When push came to shove, he put Braun down with a stomp.  It wasn't enough to keep him down so he gave him a second stomp.  That didn't do enough so he had to give him a third stomp.  That wasn't enough and he had to go into his bag of tricks for a Pedigree and a fourth stomp to put Braun away.

Seth says he is happy that rematch isn't happening any time soon.  He didn't have time to celebrate before he was cloaked in darkness and attacked by something that can only be described as . . . Yowie Wowie.  He saw the face of the Fiend before he went out.  When he came to, Bray was nowhere to be found.  In less than three weeks, he gets to face Bray Wyatt inside Helli in a Cell.  

We have a Firefly Funhouse on the TitanTron and Bray says hello to the fireflies and he says he didn't notice you there.  Bray says it is his future best friend, the Universal Champion Seth Rollins.  Bray says he is glad that Seth is here and he is glad that Seth is okay.

Seth says that Bray is sick.

Ramblin Rabbit tells Seth to run and Bray tells Ramblin NO.  There is no need for name calling.  It is Poppycock but it is fine.  Mistakes have been made and you have made many mistakes and people have forgiven you.  Bray says friends forgive, but he never forgets.  Maybe that is why he said hello at Clash of Champions.  Who knows?  He might have more to say to you tonight.

Bray stares intently and then he starts to smile and says he will see you in hell.

They run through what is announced for tonight's show and the graphics are upside down.

Braun Strowman walks in the back and Charly Caruso says she thought he wasn't going to be here tonight.  Braun says the next person to set foot in the ring will get these hands.

We go to commercial.

We are back and the Raw Tag Team Champions, Dolph Ziggler and Roberto Roode, make their way to the ring.  They are joined by the Smackdown Tag Team Champions, The Revival.

Roode start things off and he says when him and Dolph decided to become a team, no one believed them, not even Michael Cole, and he thinks he knows everything.  Roode says to take a good hard look at greatness.  Take a good hard look at your new Raw Team . . . 

Braun Strowman's music plays and he makes his way to the ring.  Dawson and Wilder meet Strowman on the ramp and Strowman with shoulder tackles and then Dawson kicks Strowman and Strowman with a punch.  Strowman kicks Wilder.  Strowman goes after Ziggler and sends him to the floor while Roode follows.  Strowman does a lap around the ring and takes out Dawson, Wilder, and Ziggler.  Roode is able to get away from Strowman, for now.

Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss are drinking their coffee and Alexa says she told you so that they would win at Clash of Champions.  Alexa says Sasha likes to trash things she couldn't hold on to her.  Nikki talks about what Sasha said about not caring about the tag titles.  Alexa says they will show Sasha and Bayley what it is like to be tag champions.
