WWE RAW 9.3.15 - burning chair

The show began with The Authority in the ring, welcoming Randy Orton back to the team. Orton teased beating them up, but said he was just kidding. Randy Orton and Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns in a handicap match was made for the night’s main event.

1. Daniel Bryan defeated Bad News Barrett. R-Truth was on color commentary. Bryan won by pinfall with the Knee Plus. After the match, Barrett knocked out Bryan with a Bullhammer Elbow. Dean Ambrose then attacked Barrett on the ramp.

2. Dean Ambrose defeated Stardust. Truth was still on commentary. Ambrose won with Dirty Deeds. Ambrose tried to claim Stardust’s stolen Intercontinental Championship, but Bad News Barrett returned and attacked him. That brought out everyone from the upcoming IC title ladder match for a brawl. The segment ended with Truth stealing the title again in a burlap sack and tricking Barrett with a toy title.
 
Paul Heyman delivered a long promo about Roman Reigns.

3. Erick Rowan and Ryback defeated Kane and The Big Show. Show accidentally hit Kane with a KO punch, allowing Rowan to pin Kane. After the match, Stephanie McMahon berated Show and Kane and threw them out.

Wiz Khalifa performed. Damien Sandow was his stunt double, “Wizdow.”

4. AJ Lee defeated Summer Rae. AJ won by submission with the Black Widow.

5. Rusev defeated Curtis Axel. Before the match, John Cena told Rusev he’d attack him if he said one bad word about the United States. Rusev won almost immediately with the Accolade. After the match, Rusev once again ran down the USA, drawing out Cena. Cena attacked him and put him in the STF until Lana agreed to give him a United States Championship match at WrestleMania

6. The New Day (Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston) defeated Cesaro and Tyson Kidd. Woods pinned Kidd after a distraction from Natalya.

7. Naomi defeated Natalya. Naomi won with the Rear View.

8. Los Matadores defeated The Usos. Los Matadors won with a rollup after a distraction from El Torito.

Bray Wyatt once again called out the Undertaker. He opened and looked into the Undertaker’s urn, revealing it to be empty. Suddenly the urn began to smoke, and Bray’s rocking chair appeared in a spotlight. A TitanTron graphic said the Undertaker would return at WrestleMania, and audio of Undertaker saying “rest in peace” played. Lightning struck the rocking chair and set it on fire.

9. Roman Reigns defeated Randy Orton and Seth Rollins. Orton refused to tag in, raising his middle fingers at Rollins. Reigns speared Rollins and pinned him to win the match. Afterwards, Orton attacked Rollins and beat him around the arena, culminating in an RKO on the announce table.
