Raw results from Dallas, TX:
After a tribute video for Martin Luther King Jr, the show opened with Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar heading to the ring to call out Seth Rollins. Instead they got Triple H who tried to calm things down with Lesnar wanting a fight. Stephanie came out next to interrupt with Big Show and Kane. Rollins appeared on the big screen to laugh about things saying Lesnar gets his crack at him this weekend. John Cena came down to interject, and tried to add a stipulation to Sunday’s match that if he wins, Ziggler, Ryback and Rowan get their jobs back. Triple H said it would be added to a match Cena has tonight, but if Cena loses he is out of Sunday’s match as well. The fans would vote on WWE app if Cena must accept the match or is a failure.
Bray Wyatt defeated Daniel Bryan via pinfall. The match lasted over 15 minutes with Bray hitting Sister Abigail due to Kane hitting a cheap shot on Bryan from ringside while the ref wasn’t looking. Post-match, Kane beat up Bryan some more to leave him laid out.
Backstage, Triple H was on the phone when Nash and Hall showed up. They suggested HHH should drop this Authority gimmick so he can come out and cause trouble with them. Shawn Michaels came in to add he should join the legends panel and get them drinks. Mizdow showed up dressed as X-Pac, but then the real X-Pac showed up too. The Miz walked in and told them that Mizdow is his stunt double. He gave the Wolfpack sign before saying “Call Me” and leaving. Nash asked HHH what sort of show he’s running with Triple H responding “I’m so ashamed.”
Byron Saxton hosted a legends panel in the ring to discuss the Royal Rumble. Flair chose Dean Ambrose as his pick. Shawn Michaels picked Bray Wyatt, while Hogan picked Daniel Bryan. Big Show came out to interrupt the bit, calling them washed up legends who vanished because of him. He vowed to win the Rumble. Show told the legends to get out of his ring, but Flair stood up and took off his coat. He got in some shots on Show, but as he came off the ropes, Show KO punched him down saying that was Flair’s own fault. Roman Reigns’ music hit and he arrived through the crowd. The legends took off and Reigns clotheslined Show out of the ring over the ropes like a Rumble elimination.
Dean Ambrose defeated Wade Barrett via pinfall in a non-title match. Barrett crotched Ambrose on the ropes late. When the IC champ went for Wasteland, Ambrose countered and hit Dirty Deeds to win the match.

The teams ended up taking turns beating up The Ascension, with them getting laid out. The legends stood over them to conclude the segment.
