Raw Results from Albany, NY:

The Shield made their standard entrance through the crowd. Commentary was being handled by Cole, Lawler and JBL, with Cole noting that The Authority ordered Dean Ambrose to defend the U.S. Title in a 20-man battle royal to open the show.

Sheamus won a 20-Man Battle Royal to become the new United States champion. The match featured Jack Swagger, Alex Riley, Ryback, R-Truth, Fandango, Santino, Goldust, Kofi Kingston, Heath Slater, Dolph Ziggler, Mark Henry, Damien Sandow, Cody Rhodes, Titus O’Neil and Sin Cara. It came down to a final five of Ambrose, Ryback, Axel, Sheamus and Swagger. Ambrose was able to eliminate Axel, then kicked Ryback in the knee on the apron to send him off the apron. From there, he was able to dump out Swagger, but then turned around and was struck by Sheamus’ Brogue Kick. Sheamus tossed Ambrose out to the floor to win the match.  

Post-match, Triple H walked out onto the stage and said that The Shield was extremely lucky at Extreme Rules but it looks like now their luck is running out. He booked Shield to face Wyatt Family later on Raw.

Backstage Sheamus was interviewed about his US title win. He told Renee Young he had been spinning his wheels since his comeback to WWE, and this was the perfect time to step back into glory. When asked what he’d say to Ambrose about having to face 19 other mean, Sheamus smiled and said “No hard feelings fella.”

Rob Van Dam defeated Cesaro due to disqualification. At one point in the match, Cesaro tied RVD into the ropes in a Tree of Woe and kept throwing punches at him. The ref warned him to stop and when Cesaro didn’t, the ref called for the bell. Cesaro kept on with the attack after the bell, and Heyman told him to walk away before getting suspended.

The Wyatt Family did an in-ring promo with Bray sitting in his rocking chair. Footage was shown of the boy singing in a demonic voice during last night’s cage match that Bray won against Cena. He talked about how the innocent eyes of the children “see right through John Cena.” He said Cena calls him a monster and he is, because he believes the world has to be burned to the ground and reborn in his image. Wyatt said he does this for the children, for the poor man begging on the streets to the teenaged girl who wakes up crying thinking she isn’t pretty enough to be prom queen. He said people will remember Bray Wyatt for what he really is, “A god.”

Ryback defeated Cody Rhodes via pinfall. Late in the match, Axel tried to interfere from the outside but Goldust rushed over to stop him. Axel fought Goldust and drove him into the ring post. Cody was on the top rope and fell onto Ryback. Ryback caught Rhodes and hit Shellshocked for the win.

Post-match, Kane’s music and pyro went off so Bryan raced to bring Brie to the car backstage. When they got to their car it wouldn’t start. Bryan looked under the hood and said a wire was unplugged. He put it back in and slammed the hood down, but then saw Kane in the backseat behind Brie. Kane and Bryan got into a fight with Bryan able to fight off Kane and get into the car.

Bray Wyatt defeated John Cena via pinfall in a steel cage match. During the match, Harper and Rowan were on the outside of the cage, guarding the floor and the door so Cena couldn’t get out. At one point Cena was about to go out the door after knocking Bray down, but Harper and Rowan were there to hold the door closed. Cena tried to force it open but Bray hit him from behind and The Wyatts slammed the door on John. Later, Cena was climbing up the wall only for one of the Wyatts to meet him at the top. Cena battled him to the point of knocking him down to the floor, then started to climb out, only for the other Wyatt to meet him towards the bottom of the cage with a chair. Later still, Cena managed to put a STF on Wyatt by countering Sister Abigail. Wyatt was halfway out of the cage door, but Cena managed to pull him back inside. Cena managed to hit an Attitude Adjustment off the corner, but Harper was still in the cage and broke up the pinfall.

Cena once again began to climb up the wall but was met by one of the Wyatts again. He battled him on the top of the cage wall, leaving him hanging up there. Cena managed to climb back down into the ring and knocked down Bray and the other Wyatt. With all three now out of commission, Cena began to slowly crawl to the door, then pulled himself up and started to exit. The Wyatt sound effect hit and the arena went dark. All of a sudden, a creepy voice started singing “Whole world in his hands” and the lights returned. A young boy was standing right outside the door staring at Cena singing. Cena froze in his tracks looking at the kid, before Bray rushed over and grabbed Cena to hit Sister Abigail. Post-match, Bray hugged the kid on the outside, before Harper and Rowan led the kid up the ramp to leave.

Paige defeated Tamina via submission to retain the WWE Divas Championship. During the match, Paige charged at Tamina and was able to tackle her to take her to the outside.

Moments later, Paige ran the ropes and hit a flying cross body with Tamina catching her for a side slam.

Tamina soon tapped out to give Paige the match.

As Paige was celebrating her win, the Wyatts sound effect went off and the place went dark. The Wyatts showed up on the big screen with the little boy from the cage match earlier. Bray told “Little Johnny” he did very good out there tonight. Bray said his message can no longer be ignored as Cena’s hopes and dreams are trapped in a box. He handed the boy a sheep mask with the little boy putting it on before the segment went out.

Daniel Bryan defeated Kane via pinfall to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in an Extreme Rules match. Daniel Bryan tried to stage an attack on Kane on the ramp as Kane was making his entrance. Kane got the upper hand and tossed Bryan into the barricade, then found a kendo stick under the ring to hit Bryan with a few times. Bryan managed to get control back in the ring by hitting a bit running knee and then clotheslining Kane out over the top rope. On the outside, Kane landed a huge boot to take down Bryan. At one point, Kane used several steel chairs in the ring and ended up side slamming Bryan onto one that was set up in a seated position. Moments later, Bryan hit a running dive out into Kane against the barricade. He pulled the top off the Spanish announce table and hit Kane with that, before ripping apart the U.S. announce table too, using pieces to hit Kane. Kane turned the tables and slammed Bryan into one of the tables then pulled monitors off the other. Kane stood up and grabbed Bryan for a chokeslam, but Bryan elbowed him off then hit a flying DDT off the table to take Kane to the floor.

Towards the end of the bout, Bryan managed to get Kane knocked down then went way across the other corner to climb up. The crowd gave a “Yes” chant as he got ready and flew off for a diving headbutt. To the crowd’s surprise Kane got a shoulder up before 3. Bryan got the crowd into another change with Kane still down. All of a sudden, Kane sat up, but Bryan ran at him for the big knee. Instead, Kane grabbed him around the throat and chokeslammed Bryan for a near fall. Later still, Bryan grabbed a steel chair and smashed it on Kane multiple times before putting him into the Yes Lock. Kane struggled looking ready to tap, but crawled over and grabbed a kendo stick to hit Bryan with. Bryan grabbed it from him and used it to put another submission hold on, but Kane pulled himself to the outside to recover. Bryan did a running dive move, but Kane caught him then chokeslammed him through the announce table.

With Kane in control on the outside, he grabbed a table and set it up on the outside then retrieved a plastic gasoline container from under the ring. Can dowsed the top of the table with the gasoline, then lit it on fire drawing plenty of cheers from the crowd. He got up on the apron to grab Bryan, but Bryan kicked him then yanked the ropes causing Kane to fall backwards through the enflamed table. Immediately, a WWE staffer rushed over to spray Kane with a fire extinguisher. Kane stumbled around near ringside then rolled back into the ring. Bryan was waiting and hit his running knee then grabbed the winning pinfall to retain the title. Post-match, Bryan celebrated with the belts up on the ramp doing his “Yes” chant with the crowd. Kane stood up looking enraged from what just happened, then threw his arms up and down to set off his pyro, staring out at Bryan as the PPV ended.

Big Show came out to interrupt, but just stood in the corner of the ring while Sandow spoke. At one point, Sandow asked Show what he thought about what he said. Show didn’t respond. Sandow said he thought so and that nobody can say he doesn’t deserve this, because Show sees a future champion and greatness.

They showed Kane backstage getting scolded by Stephanie for letting his emotions get the best of him last week. She said she thought they hired a man with no moral code, then got in his face suggesting he’s a failure. She asked what happened to “The Devil’s favorite demon and the old Kane?” Kane got up from his chair, causing Steph to back away. He looked at her then turned to look at the Kane mask and hair inside a glass case. He took the case off and stroked the hair on the mask, then picked it up. He told her “I am going to eviscerate Daniel Bryan and send him to the depths of hell.”
