[Video] WWE RAW Results, 9 May 2016, Full Show with Video Highlights
This week’s WWE Raw (9th May 2016) comes after an explosive main event that set the SmackDown stage on fire. Shane and Stephanie’s weird co-existance has made WWE more interesting and moreover WWE releasing some of the fan favorites has not sit well with a lot of fans. This week’s RAW is under a huge pressure to deliver. Will it deliver?
The IC Title scene is pretty hot but not as hot as the main event scene. The main event scene is practically blazing right now and both AJ and Roman will look to carry some momentum going into Extreme Rules. Similarly, the feud between Dean Ambrose and Chris Jericho has reached a new level with the demise of Mitch, Ambrose’s best friend, at the hands of Jericho on last week’s Raw.
The Women’s Championship is also buzzing with the controversial finish at Payback. Natalya and Charlotte will be meeting one another ins a submission match at Extreme Rules. The problem for Charlotte is that she won’t have her dad Ric Flair by the ringside for this match. The US Title scene is also becoming interesting and the feud between Baron Corbin and Ziggler will attain new level as they will go one on one tonight.
The only lackluster buildup has been to the Tag Team Championship between New Day and The Vaudevillains and it will be interesting to see how WWE uses Big Cass as there were rumours of WWE having big plans regarding him.
Here’s a look at the video highlights of WWE Raw 9th May 2016 Full Show:
Jerichos opens the show with the Highlight Reel
The Highlight Reel returned to Raw this week as Jericho opened the show with his talk show. His guest was none other than the shattered remain of Mitch. Jericho was his usual heel self here as he mocked Dean Ambrose and the fans for feeling sympathy for Mitch instead of talking about him. He claims that he has sidelined Ambrose with and injury and mocks the fan for relating to him and Mitch
Big Cass interruptedd him and called him out for a match. Jericho was really insulted and he teased a fight. But Jericho walked away in the last moment and this prompted Big Cass to call him as S-A-W-F-T. Jericho rushed to the ring but was caught by a big boot to the face.
Backstage Segment: Stephanie makes the main event of the show
Jericho meets Stephanie backstage and tries to suck up to her. He asks her to do something about the disrespect this new era is showing towards him and tries to drive a wedge between her and Shane. Stephanie makes the main event for the night. She informs Big Cass will be facing Jericho in the main event and warns him to not ever to try a wedge between her and Shane.
