raw arena

The 2/15/16 edition of WWE Monday Night RAW took place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA.

– Dean Ambrose comes out to the ring to open the show. He starts cutting a promo on Brock Lesnar and Stephanie McMahon interrupts. She sets up a five-way match for the Intercontinental Title featuring Ambrose, and it’ll start right away.

Kevin Owens def. Stardust, Tyler Breeze, Dolph Ziggler & Dean Ambrose: After lots of brawling both inside and outside the ring between all five competitors, Kevin Owens hits the pop up powerbomb on Tyler Breeze to become the new WWE Intercontinental Champion. After the match, Ambrose looks on in shock as Owens celebrates.

– In the back, Dean Ambrose cuts a promo saying The Authority hasn’t taken everything from him yet, and he plans on winning at Fastlane.

– Also in the back, Kevin Owens is celebrating his win when Dolph Ziggler confronts him and challenges him to a match at Fastlane. Owens says “nah,” and walks off.

Big E def. Mark Henry: The whole New Day is out at ringside to accompany Big E. They cut a promo on Edge & Christian, and then Mark Henry. Big E calls Henry a “mark ass buster.” The match begins and they go to the outside early on. Mark Henry takes a couple splashes from Big E. Big E picks him up, Henry falls to the mat clutching his ribs and Big E just covers for the win. The New Day celebrates, but Big E looks a bit concerned.

– Brock Lesnar will appear on this week’s SmackDown. We’ll have full results from the taping on Tuesday night.

– Brie Bella is out in the ring to cut a promo. She is interrupted very early on by Charlotte, who is accompanied by Ric Flair. Charlotte tells Brie she “can only imagine what Brie’s goat-faced vegan babies will become.” Brie lays out Charlotte, and Charlotte and Flair head to the back as Brie’s music plays.

– Chris Jericho’s music hits, and he comes down to join the commentary team for the next match.

AJ Styles def. The Miz: After going back and forth in the ring, the action goes to the outside. The Miz gets distracted talking to Jericho at the announce table, and AJ Styles capitalizes with a flying forearm off the ring steps that lays out The Miz. After a series of near-falls back in the ring, The Miz hits a Skull Crushing Finale for a very close 2-count. After stomping AJ in the corner, The Miz backs up and charges, but AJ catches him and rolls him into the Calf Crusher for the win.

– After the match, AJ Styles calls out Chris Jericho for a match at Fastlane. Jericho says he’ll give him his answer on SmackDown this week.

– The Dudley Boyz are out to the ring to a cut a promo. They tease that they’re going to grab a table from under the ring, but they put it back. They talk about how they’re the baddest tag team on the planet, and that they are done using tables “forever.”

Summer Rae def. Paige: Summer takes control of the match after landing a spanning heel kick for a 2 count. Paige mounts a brief comeback before Summer Rae rolls her up in a small package for the surprise 3-count.

– Paul Heyman is in the ring to talk about why Brock Lesnar will be the next World Heavyweight Champion. He calls out Roman Reigns to the ring, because there’s something he wants to say to him in person. Reigns comes out, and Heyman tells him to remember that Brock Lesnar isn’t his only enemy at Fastlane — his friend Dean Ambrose will also be trying to beat him. The Dudleys jump Reigns from behind after Heyman is done talking. Dean Ambrose comes down for the save. After they clear the ring, Ambrose goes for the Dirty Deeds on Reigns, but Reigns blocks it. Reigns points to the WrestleMania sign to the end the segment.

– The Vincent J. McMahon Legacy of Excellence Award will be awarded to someone next week. Cole says it will be the most prestigious award WWE has, and nobody has deserved it up until now.

Heath Slater def. Zack Ryder: Ryder is in control for most of the first part of the match up. Bo jumps on the apron and distracts him, allowing Slater to nail a heel kick and a Smash Hit for the win.

– We see R-Truth out on a date earlier in the night. Goldust appears dressed as their waiter at the restaurant. R-Truth recognizes him and Goldust ends up spraying champagne on his date before running away.

The League of Nations def. The Lucha Dragons and Neville: The Lucha Dragons and Neville hit suicide dives to the outside on the members of The League early on. Back in the ring, Alberto Del Rio eventually hits the double stomp on Sin Cara for the victory.

– A Black History Month video featuring Booker T airs.

Becky def. Naomi: Becky is in control early on, but after taking a breather on the outside, Naomi comes back with a big boot. They trade holds and eventually Becky locks in the DisarmHer for the win.

– After the match, Tamina comes out and beats down Becky. Sasha hits the ring and makes the save.

Big Show def. Braun Strowman via DQ: The Wyatt Family cuts a promo in the ring until The Big Show’s music interrupts and he hits the ring. Show and Strowman stare each other down before locking up. Strowman surprises show by overpowering him and taking control of the match. Big Show eventually counters a suplex with one of his own, then Erick Rowan runs in for the disqualification.

Haper and Wyatt join in on the beat down on Big Show. Ryback hits the ring for the save, but the Wyatt Family outnumbers and overpowers him too. Suddenly the ring posts light up and Kane emerges from a hole in the ring. He cleans house and the babyfaces stand tall in the ring as RAW goes off the air.
