Yet another roller coaster ride of a Raw. Several storylines were advanced and three huge matches for WWE Payback were set. Bullet Club also made their pressence felt and left a lot of questions in their wake. Tag team tournament continued in this week’s Raw and two finalists were found out.
Overall, it was an entertaining Raw with few low points to note for.
Watch how this week’s, Monday Night, 18th April WWE Raw went down:
Ambrose Asylum with special guest Shane McMahon
Today’s Raw starts off with the Ambrose Asylum and the special guest is none other than Shane McMahon. Shane talks about new opportunities once again and out comes Owens to interrupt again. Owens has some few choice words for Shane as he accuses Shane of being drunk with power and having personal vendetta against him.
The argument escalates and out comes Sami Zayn and Jericho to speak their mind. Soon, all the four men argue with Ambrose watching on. And Out of nowhere, Ambrose asks them to be careful around the plant(!?)
The segment ends with Shane announcing two huge matches for WWE Payback – Jericho vs Ambrose and Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens.
Sami Zayn vs Chris Jericho
Following the announcement, Jericho and Zayn faced off each other in a rematch of sorts from SmackDown. This time there was no color commentry from Owens and Ambrose to increase the value of the fight though.
After a good ten minutes of back and forth action Jericho picks up the win with a thumb to the eye and a codebreaker. Zayn almost had Jericho with the Helluva kick before Jericho used his experience and heel tactics to sucker Zayn in to deliver the thumb to the eye.
