WWE RAW

March.Week 2.2017

Greensboro, NC

LAST WEEK ON RAW: Not willing to wait for a match with Kurt Angle, Seth Rollins forced his way into Angle's match by taking out his original opponent. Rollins went on to defeat “The Olympic Gold Medalist”.

TONIGHT ON RAW: “The Architect” Seth Rollins will go one on one against “The Olympic Gold Medalist” Kurt Angle. Angle was caught unprepared last week, this week Kurt plans to finally pick up a victory over Rollins who currently has four wins over Angle (counting last week's impromptu encounter). Will Kurt get even with “The Architect”?

LAST WEEK ON RAW: “The Beast” had bad intentions! Brock Lesnar attacked Neville before their match, determined to hurt his opponent. This incident evolved into an impromptu match-up. A non-title match-up won by Lesnar after a devastating F5!

Since then, Lesnar's advocate, Paul Heyman (who has been serving out a private suspension levied to him by The Authority as well as RAW General Manager Mick Foley for continuous interference in Lesnar's in-ring affairs), has been making it known that Brock should be given an opportunity at the WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania after he showcased his superiority last week on RAW after he pinned the Universal Champion Neville in that impromptu match.

The Authority as well as RAW General Manager Mick Foley regretted to inform Neville that despite overcoming the odds at Fastlane against Brock Lesnar, Neville will once again have to defend the Universal Championship against “The Beast Incarnate”. This time at WrestleMania. Neville tells them to save their pity and regret because he is going to beat “The Beast” at the ultimate thrill ride!

KICKING OFF RAW TONIGHT: After pinning the Universal Champion Neville last week in an impromptu match, “The Beast” Brock Lesnar will go one on one with Neville tonight as he looks to once again defeat Neville and send a dominant message that Neville is on borrowed time as Universal Champion.

MIDDLE CARD PROMO

The WWE United States Champion Braun Strowman announces that he will be at WrestleMania and dares anyone in the locker room to challenge him for the United States Title.

INSIDE OF THE OFFICE OF THE AUTHORITY: The Authority come up on the topic of Braun Strowman defending the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania. Triple H brings up how he is currently the number one ranked Superstar in the United States Championship rankings. However, he doesn't feel like he should have to compete in a number one contender's match.

Upon overhearing (eavesdropping) this conversation, Kevin Owens enters the office and brings up how he is currently ranked pretty high in the United States Championship rankings and since Owens is “The Face of America”, he feels he should be in that match alongside “The Game” so they can take down “The Monster”. The Authority like the idea and make it official.

The RAW General Manager, Mick Foley, speaks up in this meeting and brings up the fact that although Kevin Owens is ranked high in the United States Championship division, he is outranked by another certain Superstar called Chris Jericho who is ranked second. So if The Authority is going to just add Kevin Owens to this title match at WrestleMania, then Foley is going to add Chris Jericho to that match. Solely in the interest of fairness.

Triple H tells Foley that he is going to make Jericho regret this tonight when Owens and “The Game” take on Jericho. Foley accepts the handicap match being made with the exception that if Chris can find a partner then the handicap match will become a tag team match. Mick looks Owens in the face and tells the both of them that he strongly believes that it will be easy for Chris to find a partner.

MATCH #5

Triple H & Kevin Owens (w/Stephanie McMahon) vs Chris Jericho & Sami Zayn

WINNERS: Triple H & Kevin Owens

LAST WEEK ON RAW: The WWE Universal Champion Neville inexplicably attacked Goldberg before his match against Chris Jericho, rendering the match null and void.

INTERVIEW: Goldberg doesn't know why Neville attacked him and he doesn't care. All Goldberg knows is that he wants Chris Jericho inside of that ring, he's winning the six-pack challenge tonight, he's going to beat whoever represents SmackDown Live at WrestleMania and then he's going to be knocking on Neville's door before taking that Universal Championship!
