Rollins, Owens & Street Profits Defeated Imperium

Seth Rollins came down to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Rollins told Manchester that he dug their energy and brought up Triple H trying to get him to join NXT.

Rollins added that Triple H showed his true colors by the end of the night last week and stated that Triple H has lit a fire under him. Seth shouted that RAW is home and that this is Monday Night Rollins.

Seth stated that Team RAW is going to finish the fight at Survivor Series. The crowd broke out in a “NXT!” chant and Rollins stated that he is the best wrestler on the planet. Rollins then issued an open challenge and said that he wanted to face the United Kingdom’s best.

Imperium’s music hit and WWE UK Champion Walter accepted the challenge. Walter added that Imperium is here to restore the honor of our sport and the mat Rollins is standing on is sacred to them. Rollins told Walter to get down to the ring so he can burn it down.

Walter dominated early and launched Rollins across the ring. Seth battled back and connected with a Slingblade that sent Walter out of the ring. Back in the ring, Walter connected with a massive German Suplex and then posed in the ring.

Rollins hit an Enziguri and followed it up with a knee to the face. Walter went for another German Suplex but Seth landed on his feet and hit a Superkick. Rollins set up for the Stomp but the rest of Imperium interfered and the match ended in a DQ. Street Profits rushed the ring and a brawl broke out. Kevin Owens ran down to the ring and Team RAW sent Imperium out of the ring as RAW went to a break.

Rollins, Owens, and Street Profits battled Imperium in a 8-man tag team match when RAW returned. Walter hit Rollins with a Dropkick and followed it up with a Powerbomb. Walter made his way to the top rope but Rollins hopped up and planted him with a Superplex.

Owens tagged in and hit Aichner with a Cannonball off the apron. Owens followed it up with a Swanton Bomb on Wolfe and went for the cover but Walter broke it up. Montez Ford then flipped onto Walter outside the ring and Owens delivered a Stunner to Barthel. Rollins tagged in and hit Wolfe with the Stomp for the pinfall victory.

Lana Tricked Rusev In One Of The Worst Segments Of The Year

Lana walked down to the ring to a chorus of boos from the crowd. Lana stated that she was out here to confess her sins and referred to Bobby Lashley as the love of her life.

She admitted to cheating on Rusev and claimed that he cheated on her first. Lana stated that she had sex with Lashley 7-weeks ago and said that it was their “sexiversary”.

Lana announced that she is 9-weeks pregnant with Rusev’s baby. Lana then went on a rant before Rusev finally interrupted. Rusev claimed that Lana was trying to manipulate this entire situation. Lana then raked at Rusev’s eyes and Lashley came down to the ring and beat him down. Lana joked with Lashley that she wasn’t pregnant and made out with him on the entrance ramp.

This was absolutely terrible. Lana was stuttering and screwing up her lines the entire time. I cannot believe that people got paid to write this storyline and just want it to end.

Tonight’s episode of RAW was lifeless and forgettable. It was cool seeing Imperium compete in a match on RAW but the only thing this show will be remembered for was the terrible Lana, Rusev, and Lashley segment.
