Roman Reigns Attacked at Live House Show


In breaking news out of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, WWE Superstar Roman Reigns was attacked today by a fan during a live house show. A report from NESN says the incident involved a replica Money in the Bank gold briefcase which an audience member hurled into the ring that struck Reigns in the back of the head. Reigns was involved in a match against Bray Wyatt at the time, which featured Wyatt using a kendo stick as a weapon to attack Reigns.

The video below shows the aftermath of the incident, which included security and authorities rushing into the front area of the crowd at ringside to apprehend the fan.

He said he needed to go deliver his retort to what Undertaker said earlier and that will be that. Steph and HHH said they didn’t trust him as far as they can throw him, and that’s not far. 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.

Paul Heyman stood in the ring to deliver his response to what Undertaker said earlier. He talked about all the other stars including HHH, Shawn Michaels, Edge, Randy Orton and Ric Flair who couldn’t end Taker’s streak. He said why wouldn’t they continue to remind everyone that Brock was the one to conquer it?

Backstage HHH and Stephanie talked about not pressing charges. HHH said he just wanted the two of them to calm down. Seth Rollins came in and said that was crazy. He said it’s good he didn’t go out and give those two a piece of his mind because he might have lost his temper. He asked to go out and address the fans and HHH and Stephanie said sure.

Seth Rollins came out to boast about how whatever challenger has come his way, he’s still managed to hold onto the WWE title. He said it’s not the means that matters, but the end result and he is still champion. John Cena came out to interrupt and talked about Rollins being a conniving, slimy weasel-faced suckup who was a poor excuse for champion. Rollins talked trash about Cena having the US title challenges and said the fans hate him. He told Cena not to talk down to him because he’s not a boy, but the World Heavyweight Champion. Cena eventually asked Rollins if he was ready to man up right now. He took off shirt and so did Rollins, but then Rollins smiled and left the ring. Cena got on the mic and yelled the champ is here as he held up the title belt.

Paige threw Sasha out of the ring and then was able to knock Tamina off the apron. Alicia grabbed Paige and slammed her face into the ropes. Alicia made a tag to Sasha who put on the Bank Statement for the win.

They had a backstage interview with Renee Young and Lana. Lana reported that Ziggler didn’t suffer any permanent damage to his windpipe in the recent attack. Summer Rae came into the picture, dressed up to mock Lana. Rusev came in and told Summer she looks beautiful and “angel-like,” eventually kissing her. Rusev said to Lana she seems tired and like she needs rest. He laughed as he walked off. Summer slapped Lana.


John Cena, Randy Orton & Cesaro defeated Rusev, Kevin Owens & Sheamus via pinfall. Summer was ringside for Rusev. At one point, Cesaro shoved Owens and he went into Sheamus. The two argued with Sheamus clotheslining Owens down, going to ringside to get his briefcase and leaving the match. Later, Owens and Rusev got into it.

Triple H said sometimes as a business you have to evaluate your investment to see if it will pay off or is a lost cause.


He said when you need to know what you have, you treat it like a piece of coal; stick it under immense pressure to see if it is crushed into dust, or turns into a diamond.

They had a backstage segment with Triple H and Steph praising Kane for his work last night. Kane said it seemed Rollins is growing up. Rollins came in with J&J and champagne glasses to celebrate the victory. Ambrose came in and reminded Rollins they are 1-1 against each other in matches. Ambrose said he’d give Rollins a rematch at the next pay-per-view if he puts the title on the line. Rollins suggested Ambrose should be at the back of the line. Kane backed up Rollins, who left the scene. Ambrose asked Kane what Paul Bearer and his brother would think of Kane these days. Kane took exception to it and booked Ambrose in a match against Bray Wyatt.

Renee Young interviewed Neville in the ring about his match against Barrett and his debut on Raw the night after WrestleMania. Bo Dallas interrupted and tried to attack Neville’s hurt knee a bit, but Neville hit a kick on him to knock him out of the ring.

King Barrett defeated Neville via pinfall. Neville’s hurt knee from last night seemed to affect his moves in this match, with a missed suplex and springboard move due to his leg buckling. Barrett hit the Bull Hammer for the win. Post-match, Dallas attacked Neville and got the upperhand, eventually attacking the knee and smashing Neville’s knee several times against the ring post.

Rusev came out by himself to tell the crowd there’s no Lana with him tonight because she needs to learn her place. He suggested that he didn’t quit last night and that Lana quit because she is weak. Rusev called out Cena to come out right now so they could restart the match. Lana came out instead of Cena, and Rusev chastised her for last night’s situation in the Payback match. She said that she quit for him because she cares about him and she "did it for us." She said he was screaming “I quit” in Bulgarian so she quit for him. Rusev got irritated and told her she makes him weak. He told Lana to get out of there and go back where she came from. Lana left the ring and walked backstage. JBL said he agrees with Rusev.

Bray Wyatt defeated Dean Ambrose via pinfall. J&J Security came out at one point to get involved, distracting Ambrose on the top rope. Mercury distracted the ref as Noble shoved him off the top rope. Wyatt hit Sister Abigail for the win.

Tyson Kidd & Cesaro defeated Big E & Kofi Kingston due to disqualification or no contest in the tag team title match. Late in the match, the heels tossed Cesaro to the outside, then they kept attacking Kidd in the corner, causing the ref to call the match. Afterwords, multiple tag teams came out to get involved including Lucha Dragons, The Ascension, Los Matadores and Prime Time Players.

John Cena came out to hype the United States Championship after pointing to several members of the military in the crowd. He said the title is for all of them and has more meaning than ever before. Cena brought up his open challenge and out came NXT Champion Kevin Owens. Owens said he’d introduce himself but Cena already knows who he is and for all the people that don’t know who he is, they’re just a waste of time. Owens talked about how when Sami Zayn came out to challenge Cena he was injured, and it was because of Owens. He said he’s going to finish what he started on the NXT Live special. 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. Rollins was able to attack Ambrose from behind and hit The Pedigree on him to put him down as Raw closed.

WWE Payback Main Pay-Per-View:

Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus

Ziggler got some revenge late by making Sheamus kiss his backside. Sheamus fled to the outside to get some water to wash out his mouth. Back in the ring he attacked Ziggler and went for a Brogue Kick but Ziggler avoided it and came back with a Zig Zag for the near fall with Sheamus escaping at 2 1/2. Moments later, Ziggler followed up by going at Sheamus on the corner with a few punches until Sheamus hit a power bomb for his own nearfall. He had another after a powerslam from the corner. A bit later, Dolph butted heads with Sheamus which caused Dolph to start bleeding profuself from the forehead. After that, Dolph staggered around on his knees on the mat and Sheamus hit a quick Brogue Kick for the win.

Winner: Sheamus defeated Dolph Ziggler via pinfall.



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.



Fatal Fourway for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship - Seth Rollins (c) vs. Roman Reigns vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Randy Orton



Late in the match, Orton and Rollins fought it out in the ring with J&J, Kane, Ambrose and Reigns all down on the outside. 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. Kane threw Ambrose into the steel steps on the outside and then smashed the steps on Reigns. Orton got involved again to knock Kane down on the outside, then hit several RKOs in the ring on J&J. 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.

Winner: Seth Rollins won via pinfall over Randy Orton in the Fatal Fourway to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

SmackDown Results from Evansville, IN:

Dean Ambrose came out to talk about how he was the last man standing in the ring after the big brawl on Raw between the Payback Fatal Fourway participants. He brought up Rollins calling him a loser with a goon squad, and said the last anyone heard of Orton he was hit by a Spear from Reigns. He said as for Reigns he didn’t mean to hit Dirty Deeds on him, but had something to say. Reigns’ music hit and he came out to face Ambrose in the ring. They talked about being brothers still and on the same page for tonight to make it to Sunday, but come that match, it’s all out and each man for himself. Kane came out to interrupt saying they may not make it to Sunday as Reigns will face him later tonight and Ambrose faces Sheamus, now.

Dean Ambrose defeated Sheamus via pinfall. Late in the match, Sheamus tried to toss Ambrose out of the ring from the corner. Ambrose escaped and was able to pull Sheamus down from there, causing Sheamus to hit his head on the post. Ambrose got the rollup for the win.

Rusev said at Payback, the people will hear Cena say the words he has already said many times before. A tape was played of Cena repeating “I Quit” over and over. Rusev celebrated with the Russian flag to close the promo out.

With Ryback down, he hit two Superkicks on him in the seated position before taking the pin.

Backstage, Renee Young interviewed Naomi and Tamina about their change in demeanor in the divas division.

Tamina said they own the division now.

Backstage, Rosa and Adam Rose were shown staring at one another. Rosa said the hot dog is staring at them. Rose asked the hot dog character to come over and tell him what is going on. The Hot Dog said he just wants to know when they’re going to get paid. Rose yelled at him, saying he’s just like the bunny, but it’s not all about the money, it’s about “high art.” Rose told him the party was officially over and threw the Hot Dog to the ground. Rose and Rosa started making out, just as Kane walked by who had a disgusted look on his face.
