***DUE TO THE UPCOMING STORM, WWE RAW IN IT’S TRADITIONAL LIVE WRESTLING FORMAT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. WWE WILL BROADCAST TONIGHT’S SHOW WITH STUDIO SEGMENTS FROM WWE HEADQUARTERS IN STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT. WE WILL PROVIDE UPDATES FOR THE CONTENT; PLEASE DISCUSS TONIGHT’S CANCELLATION, THE 2015 ROYAL RUMBLE AND ALL THINGS WWE IN THE DISQUS FORUMS BELOW!
– WWE starts RAW by airing the complete WWE World Heavyweight Championship match from the 2015 Royal Rumble. If you want to see full results from last night’s show, visit our live coverage page by clicking here.
– Seth Rollins joins the show for an exclusive interview, and Cole asks him if he truly deserved a spot in last night’s title match. Rollins says he proved he belonged last night and did everything he could to win it, including when he elbow dropped Brock Lesnar through a table. He says he did it because he had to do whatever he could to win, and he thought he had Lesnar beat right there. Rollins says he even hit Lesnar with a Phoenix splash and John Cena screwed it up, and Cole asks what happens if Rollins faced Lesnar one-on-one. Rollins says he underestimated Lesnar, but Lesnar underestimated him too, and Lesnar is still the champion, but he still has the Money In The Bank contract, his plan B. Cole says Lesnar will join the show next, but Rollins says Lesnar isn’t taking his seat unless he forces him out of it.
– Brock Lesnar shows up and gets in Rollins’ face, then Rollins sarcastically dusts it off before he knocks it over and leaves. Paul Heyman joins Brock after they get new chairs, and Brock says he did suffer a broken rib, but he gets through it just like every other injury. Cole hints at tension between them and The Authority, but Heyman says there is no problem, and The Authority just pays Lesnar to take care of their problems. Cole says Lesnar has been on a role as of late, and they play clips of his match at Wrestlemania 30 versus The Undertaker. Lesnar says he’s the beast and he doesn’t respect anyone, then Heyman asks why anyone is still surprised at what Brock can do. Lesnar laughs when Cole brings up Roman Reigns, and he says he is happy for Reigns, but he is on a role, and Reigns should get out of his way. Heyman tells Cole to hurry it up, and Cole asks if Reigns could beat Lesnar, and Heyman flat out says no, and Lesnar says he’d like to meet his opponent sometime.
– WWE airs the complete Royal Rumble match from the 2015 Royal Rumble. If you want to see full results from last night’s show, visit our live coverage page by clicking here.
– Roman Reigns joins Byron Saxton in the studio, and Reigns says last night was incredible, but Byron says Reigns has his critics. Reigns says he’s never called himself the most experienced guy in the locker room, and they are entitled to their opinions, but he jumps in the deep end to survive. He tells a story about learning how to swim, and he says he applies that wrestling all the time, then he talks about the Philadelphia crowd. Reigns says he was hoping for a better reception, but the fans are entitled to boo or cheer who they want, and this isn’t about them being fair to him. Byron makes a comment about being ‘handpicked’ to be on top, and Reigns rolls his eyes and says he needs to work hard for everything he has, and he will either capitalize or not, and time will tell. They talk about The Rock coming out to his aid last night, and Reigns says there’s nothing better than having family get your back. Reigns says it was an honor last night, but he’s looking forward to meeting Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania, and meeting him tonight too.
