My WWE 2K18 Results: WWE RAW IS WAR (Jan.W3.17)

WWE RAW IS WAR

January.Week 3.2017

Oklahoma City, OK

Two weeks ago on RAW IS WAR: Stone Cold Steve Austin '97 defeated the WWE Champion '98-'02 The Rock '01 and Shawn Michaels '98 in a Triple Threat Match to regain the WWE Championship '98-'02. “The Rattlesnake” Picked up the victory with a back suplex counter where he pinned Michaels.

Last week on RAW IS WAR: Shawn Michaels '98 refused to be pushed out of the WWE Championship picture and informed Stone Cold Steve Austin that this is The Heartbreak Kid's show regardless of who is champion. Simply by being the WWE Champion, Austin has placed a giant target on his back and the DX tank has “The Rattlesnake” in its sights. HBK plans on making Austin's life a continuous living hell until that WWE Championship is back around the waist of “The Heartbreak Kid”.

The NEW WWE Champion '98-'02 Stone Cold Steve Austin came out to the rings and information of his own to relay to HBK. Austin said that the only person who is going to be raising any hell around here is Stone Cold Steve Austin and Michaels got a little preview of that when ol' Stone Cold pinned HBK to win the WWE Championship. The promo battle turned into a brawl before a tag team match between the two was made for last week's main event.

D-Generation X would go on to defeat the World Tag Team Champions, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Dude Love, in a non-title bout after “The Heartbreak Kid” hit the diving elbow drop on Austin and pinned “The Rattlesnake:”. The result bolstered Shawn's claim for another title opportunity as tonight's main event of RAW IS WAR will feature Shawn Michaels '98 challenging Steve Austin for the WWE Championship '98-'02. Will “The Rattlesnake” still be the WWE Champion headed into the WWE Championship Triple Threat Match next week at the Royal Rumble or will HBK change those plans?
