In breaking news out of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, WWE Superstar Roman Reigns was attacked today by a fan during a live house show.

They said they’d need more security and the locker room.

Backstage, Stephanie yelled at the assembled locker room wrestlers that SummerSlam depends on having the main event in tact and that means Lesnar and Taker need to be apart until then. She said everyone’s livelihood depends on this and she’s not asking, she’s telling them.

He said it’s not the means that matters, but the end result and he is still champion.

Cena told Owens it was a fine speech but he has a lot to learn. He said nobody there is a waste of time as there would be no Owens, Raw or WWE without the fans.

Cena said he had some veteran advice for Owens and said he doesn’t seem to have the same passion in his eyes that Zayn did when he looked at him. Cena said if Owens wants part of the open challenge to come get some, but Owens said he’s already got his prize, the NXT title. He said he and Cena will fight some day, but on his terms. Owens ended up kicking Cena and then powerbombing him, to leave him laying on the mat. He picked up both titles, but then dropped the US Title and stepped on it.

They announced the full list of competitors for the IC Title match at Elimination Chamber: Sheamus, King Barrett, R-Truth, Ryback and Rusev, with the final competitor to be announced later on Raw.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Stardust via pinfall. The match lasted just over a minute with Ziggler able to kick his way out of Stardust’s set up for the finisher. Ziggler hit a Zig Zag on him to get the win. Post-match, Cole got in the ring to ask Dolph how he’s feeling after last night’s head bump with Sheamus. Dolph joked that he’s fine and chicks love the scars. Cole informed Ziggler he’s the final competitor in the IC title match at Elimination Chamber. Ziggler said if he wins the title he’ll take on all comers. Lana came walking out and to the ring. The fans chanted “We want Lana,” and she smiled at them, then at Ziggler. She pulled in Dolph and kissed him. The fans chanted “one more time,” so Lana obliged the request. Rusev came storming down to the ring and yelled at Lana in Bulgarian. She slapped him and he got enraged. Ziggler made a save by hitting Zig Zag on Rusev and then left with Lana to go backstage.

Erick Rowan and Luke Harper defeated Fandango and Zack Ryder via pinfall. Harper hit a Superkick on Ryder late, and then Rowan slammed him for the pin.

The Bellas were walking backstage when Stephanie approached them. She acted sincere in saying she was wishing Brie’s husband the best as the superstars’ health is their top concern. She told Brie she arranged some counseling sessions to help her deal with it, so she wouldn’t need to go to the ring with Nikki tonight. Brie wasn’t happy by the orders, nor was Nikki.

Nikki Bella defeated Naomi via disqualification in a WWE Divas Title match. Late in the match, Nikki had control and went for the Rack Attack. Tamina got involved and super kicked Nikki, causing the DQ. Paige rushed out to clear the heels to save Nikki, but then ended up hitting the RamPaige DDT on her. Paige hoisted the divas title up and paraded around the ring with it.

Backstage, it was revealed that Kevin Owens will face John Cena at the Elimination Chamber PPV.

The final segment featured Triple H, Stephanie, Kane and J&J Security as they did their “Architect of a Dream” bit to honor champion Seth Rollins. Rollins and Kane had a bit of jawing, with Kane introducing a video package he created to show how great Rollins is. Kane also thanked Rollins for saving his job. Dean Ambrose came out to interrupt with Stephanie saying he has a lot of nerve. Ambrose demanded a title rematch at Elimination Chamber. He and Rollins ended up brawling to ringside with Ambrose getting the upperhand and taking out J&J. He put Rollins’ head on some cinder blocks and put his foot on Rollins’ head. Stephanie eventually screamed he could have his title match. Rollins got away, with Ambrose taking down J&J. Kane tried to subdue Ambrose, but ended up getting clotheslined down.

Backstage, Seth Rollins walked in with J&J to talk to Kane, asking that they put their differences aside tonight. Kane talked about how he doesn't need to do anything for Rollins to ensure he keeps the WWE Title. Rollins told Kane he appreciated his honesty, but if he loses the WWE Title tonight then Kane losing his job will be the least of his worries. J&J stepped up to Kane to try to intimidate him but Kane laughed in their faces. Rollins shook his head and they walked off.

Tyson Kidd & Cesaro vs. New Day - WWE Tag Team Championship Match

New Day came out with all three guys holding miss. In the ring, they called out Baltimore Orioles star Adam Jones who stood up in the front row holding up a replica championship belt. New Day got the crowd heat by reminding Baltimore they haven’t won the title in 32 years. They tried for the New Day Rocks chant, but the crowd added in sucks. Kidd and Cesaro came to the ring.

Kidd & Cesaro took the first fall by pinfall about 2:48 into the match after hitting a double team Big Swing and basement dropkick combo on Kofi. After that, Xavier Woods got on the apron to run interference. Natalya yanked him off the apron and then Kidd or Cesaro dove out to take Woods down. Back in the ring, Kidd avoided a charging Big E who went out of the ring. Tyson and Cesaro took down Kofi in the ring, then Kidd tried to dive onto Big E. E caught Kidd and hit a German Suplex with him on the floor, giving New Day the control.

New Day took the second fall to even things up 1-1. At one point, Cesaro got knocked to ringside, leaving Kidd against Big E and Kingston. They hit their double team finisher to grab the second fall by pin.

During some late confusion, Xavier Woods snuck in as Kofi went to the outside. The ref didn’t notice as Cesaro went at Kofi through the ropes. Kofi grabbed Cesaro to yank him by the head against the top rope. Cesaro snapped back and Woods put a small package on him to get the pin for the third fall. Natalya was shocked at what just happened, but nobody else in the ring saw it.

Winners: New Day won the best-of-3-falls match 2 falls to 1 to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship.

Ryback vs. Bray Wyatt

At one point, Wyatt hit a huge Senton bomb from off the apron to land on Ryback's midsection on the outside. Ryback pounded his fist on the outside floor with the commentators speculating he broke a rib or two. The ref’s count got up to 9 as Ryback found the energy to slide back into the ring where Wyatt was in control, hitting a huge splash on Ryback in the corner for more damage. Wyatt tried to go after Ryback in the corner, but Ryback power bombed him away. Later, Wyatt exploded for a splash in the corner then tried to run back to the opposite corner to set up another. Ryback chased after him and hit a huge splash of his own and eventually a spine buster for the near fall. One of the turnbuckle pads got ripped off to expose the steel and that came into play late as Wyatt hit a shoulder block sending Ryback into it. The bruised ribs got to Ryback and Wyatt hit Sister Abigail on him for the win.

Winner: Bray Wyatt defeated Ryback via pinfall.

Rusev vs. John Cena - WWE U.S. Championship I Quit Match - TBD in progress...


Early on in the match, Rusev got the mic to ask Cena if he wanted to quit before they even started. Cena shrugged him off and went for the attack. Later on, the crowd chanted "We Want Lana" which irritated Rusev, causing him to go to ringside, grab a steel chair and make her sit near the commentary table as punishment.

Later on in the match, Cena took control and beat up Rusev on the ramp. The ref asked Rusev if he wanted to quit and he yelled “No” as he was catching his breath. Cena grabbed a guard rail and rushed down the ramp to jab Rusev in the gut with it. Cena set it up against the ring and went for the AA but Rusev slid off and supplied Cena on top of it instead. Both men were down and the ref asked Cena, but he said “Hell no.” Rusev put The Accolade on Cena, but Cena managed to power up with Rusev on his back. Rusev kept it locked on him as Cena looked to be fading. He got up and rammed Rusev back first into the turnbuckle, but Rusev kept the hold on as Cena fell back to the mat with Rusev still on him.

Cena passed out so he couldn’t say “I Quit” to the ref. An angry Rusev went over the turnbuckle and disconnected the top ring rope. Rusev went to the outside and grabbed a bottled water to pour on Cena to wake him up. Rusev took the free metal turnbuckle piece attached to the rope and went to hit Cena, but Cena ducked it and then put an STF on Rusev with the top rope pulling against Rusev’s face. Lana stood up from her ringside seat and screamed into the ring as she saw Rusev screaming in pain with the ring rope pulled against his eyes. Lana yelled at the ref then crawled into the ring and grabbed the mic yelling “He quits, he quits!” The ref called for the bell. The commentators reviewed the footage with Rusev yelling something in Bulgarian and then Lana got into the ring to say I quit for him.

Winner: John Cena won the I Quit match against Rusev to retain the US Championship.

The Bella Twins vs. Naomi & Tamina 

Late in this match, Tamina got into it with Brie on the outside of the ring, eventually grabbing her and tossing her hard into the crowd barrier. Nikki was distracted by it while she was on the top rope ready for a move, which led to Naomi being able to get the advantage, and eventually slam her down for the pinfall. The commentators made note that Naomi pinned the WWE Divas Champion in the match.

Winners: Tamina & Naomi defeated The Bella Twins via pinfall.

----

During a backstage interview, Byron Saxton informed New Day they are going to defend the titles in the first ever Elimination Chamber Tag Team title match. New Day was shocked asking how that would work, saying “that’s not happening.”

Neville vs. King Barrett

Late in the match, Neville went for Red Arrow but Barrett rolled out of the ring to avoid the move. Neville adjusted himself on the top rope and leapt out for a big splash onto Barrett on the outside. Neville seemed to tweak his knee on the fall though. He limped back in the ring to beat the ref’s count by 8. Barrett was still on the outside and about to get in at nine, but decided not to and got counted out. Post-match, Barrett shrugged off the boos and started walking up the ramp. Neville had his arm raised in the ring and Barrett rushed in to attack, eventually beating him up on the outside. Neville recovered as Barrett was posing with his King gear in the ring and attacked, eventually hitting Red Arrow on Barrett.

Winner: Neville defeated King Barrett due to countout.

Orton took control several times in the match and hit a Superplex at one point off the corner for a near fall. On the outside, Orton tore apart the commentary table and set up for a move with Rollins. Ambrose and Reigns got involved and helped Rollins to hit a Triple Powerbomb on Orton, causing Cole to yell out about The Shield seeming to be back together. Rollins put his arms around Ambrose and Reigns then put a fist out for them to put theirs with. Ambrose and Reigns jawed at him, then punched Rollins with Cole exclaiming, “one time only.” Kane tried to help out Rollins but Ambrose and Reigns got the upperhand and then powerbombed Kane on top of Rollins on the Spanish commentary table. The table didn’t break. A huge “one more time” chant broke out so Ambrose and Reigns obliged them, picking up Kane again to this time smash him through Rollins and the table.

Reigns and Ambrose played buddy-buddy for a few moments, but then realized they were the only two competitors on their feet. Ambrose slid into the ring and prepared for a fight. Reigns came in and they jawed at each other for a bit before throwing punches back and forth. Reigns hit a power bomb for a near fall. The two traded near falls with Reigns having one after a Superman Punch. Reigns hit a huge spear moments later and had a pinfall but Rollins rushed in to break up the pin. Reigns chased Rollins on the outside with J&J trying to intervene and getting punched down. 

Things broke down with Ambrose hitting a huge pendulum clothesline to punch Reigns down. He hit Dirty Deeds on a staggering Rollins, but then Kane pulled Ambrose off the winning pin.

He seemed to have control against Rollins, but Kane got in the ring again. Orton managed to fight off Kane, but Rollins grabbed control and hit Triple H’s finisher, The Pedigree on Orton to get the pinfall win. Cole noted Rollins took a play out of “the master’s playbook” with that move. The commentators reviewed match highlights as Rollins celebrated the win laying down on the ramp.

Triple H came down the ramp to help Rollins up and raised up his hand with the title belt to celebrate. An on-screen graphic showed that Elimination Chamber will be in Corpus Christi, Texas on Sunday, May 31.
