WWE RAW REPORT: SIXTEEN MEN . . . FOUR TEAMS. . . ONE RING, OWENS IS BACK, THE NEW DAY GETS B.A.D., THE MEXAMERICAN CIVIL WAR?, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2015-12-07 23:08:37
We start off with last week’s Raw when Sheamus faced Roman Reigns for the WWE Championship in a match that could go no longer than five minutes and fifteen seconds. While Reigns did not win the title, he did not lose his match at TLC, and the Usos and Dean Ambrose kept their matches at TLC.

We are in North Charleston, South Carolina and your announcers are John Layfield, Michael Cole, and Byron Saxton.

Sheamus is in the ring with Alberto Del Rio, Rusev, and Wade Barrett.

Sheamus says he cannot tell you how happy he is. He tells everyone to look at the smile on his face. He asks how can he be stupid when he is the WWE World Champion. Sheamus says he spent the entire day trying to figure out what he was going to say when he came out. He mentions his match against Roman Reigns on Sunday at Tables, Ladders, and Chairs. It is a waste of time because all you need to know about him and Roman Reigns is on his shirt.

Five minutes and fifteen seconds is all it took for him to beat Roman Reigns. Five minutes and fifteen seconds. That has to be a world record. Sheamus says that WWE has officially entered into the international era because they are the League of Nations. Four premiere athletes from four of the greatest countries in the world. Bulgaria (as he points to Rusev), Mexico (as Sheamus points to Alberto Del Rio), England (as he points to Wade Barrett), and Sheamus says he hears the USA chants and he says they tried to find someone from America but there was no one good enough to lace their boots. America does not cut it any more. Sheamus mentions Ireland as he points to himself.

Sheamus says they are dominance personified. Last week, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and the Usos . . .

Sheamus says the only people who looked stupid last week were Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and the Usos when they kicked their arse. There are not four men on the face of this planet who can match them. Do you want to know why? Because they are the best of the best of the best.

The lights go out and the Wyatts appear in the ring when the lights come back on.

Bray says to pardon the interruption but they have not properly been introduced. Bray introduces himself and he says that these are his brothers. They don’t care about your nations or whatever. This is all his world and he is allowing you to breathe in it. You want to come out here and talk about dominance, but they didn’t come out here to talk. They came out here for the chaos.

Pyro goes off and the Dudley Boyz make their way onto the stage and they are joined by Tommy Dreamer. Bubba tells Bray they will see your chaos and raise you to the extreme. He says that is not a catchphrase.

Bray says the message he tried to send them is not very clear. He wants to give it one last time. You are outmanned and outgunned. Do everyone a favor and do not get in his way.

D-Von tells Bray that is where he is wrong. When you are extreme, you don’t die, you multiply. Rhyno makes his way onto the stage with The Dudleys and Dreamer.

We go to commercial.

We are back with a look at how the four on four on four on four elimination match ended.

Sheamus is walking in the back and he is stopped by Renee Young. She asks him if that is a preview of what will happen at TLC in the WWE Championship Match. Sheamus says a great man once said there is no chance in hell. That was the closest Roman will get to beating him for this championship. He says we don’t believe in miracles but we might have seen one tonight. He is not going to beat Roman, he is going to smash his face in, he is going to rip his hair out, he is going to grind his teeth down. He might do it in less than five minutes and fifteen seconds.

Renee asks Sheamus if there is a lesson to learn here. Sheamus says the only lesson is the one he is going to teach Roman. He will do it later tonight in front of the entire world.

Stardust is in his room and he calls everyone delusional fools to believe that the heroes will always triumph. You go to see the Galactic Empire with the Death Stars. You clamor for the darkness and of course Stardust will comply by taking out your All American Hero, Jack Swagger.

Stardust turns around and Titus is standing there. Titus says it is about Stardust. He comes in here and rants and raves in his low budget room. He tells Stardust he needs to get him some. He needs some me time. He needs to get a good book and a strong bottle of wine. Then you won’t be talking about conjuring up conquering the world.

Stardust says he will not sleep until the WWE is engulfed in darkness, it does not mean that he does not have a life.

Titus tells Stardust to have his way and he will see him out there.

Before our next match, Tyler Breeze makes his way to the ring with Summer Rae.
