WWE Monday Night RAW
Location: Denver, CO
Date: November 2, 2015
Commentators: Michael Cole, JBL and Byron Saxton
We are live for Monday Night Raw! We are live from Denver, Colorado, and it looks like this crowd is already a mile high as Roman Reigns comes out to look strong! The man that is now the number one contender for the Undisputed Championship! We see the number one contenders fatal 4-way from last week, which we will have one of those for the divas title later tonight. Roman has the mic, he says just based off your energy I am proud to be here in Denver, Colorado! And I’m also proud to stand here as your number one contender and the next Undisputed Champion, but I want to talk about the current champ, Seth Rollins. He’s really good, but he’s also good at brown nosing and kissing The Authorities Ass! I don’t like that, but what I do like is there is not a force alive from stopping me from beating him, and I will be the next Undisputed Champion, and you can believe that!
Here comes the Undisputed Champion, Seth Rollins! He has a mic on the ramp and laughs. You want me to believe that you can do what no one else has and take my Undisputed Championship from me? Well I don’t believe it Roman, not for one second. But did I hear myself correctly, did you give me a compliment? Well allow me to repay the favor, because you are really good, in fact you stood toe to toe with Brock Lesnar and threw it in his face! But how did that night turn out for you Roman? Oh yeah, I won that match, I cashed in my MITB contract, pinned you and became the new Undisputed Champion! Overnight! I rewrote history; I did something that nobody has ever done! And when history is written, when it comes to you and me, you will always be second best! And these people, they will only remember you as the guy that used to carry my bags. Roman asks for him to come down here and we’ll see who the real man is! Rollins starts to come down the ramp, pausing but coming back out, but The Authority come out before Seth could even make it to the ring!
Stephanie has the mic and says we need to make this official, how many of you want to see Roman Reigns go one on one with Seth Rollins? I’ll do you one better, how many of you want to see it for the Undisputed Championship! Then you’re gonna get it…just not tonight! I love it! Hunter says I know we’re at altitude but how high are you people? Steph says did you honestly think we would have this happen at Denver? The number one contender Roman Reigns, the representative of the authority Seth Rollins, that will happen in two weeks’ time at the 29th annual Survivor Series! Hunter agrees with this and says let’s have something more traditional, a five on five traditional Survivor Series match right here tonight! Both champion and challenger will captain teams later tonight.
Also later tonight, a fatal 4-way number one contender’s match for the divas championship, Brie Bella will face Paige, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks! The Wyatt Family will also have some claims of their own, but coming up next, Dolph Ziggler will face the Intercontinental Champion, Kevin Owens, in non-title action up next!
Tonight on Breaking Ground, someone will be fired on the WWE Network!
We see a custom WWE Championship belt given to the 2015 World Series Champion, Kansas City Royals!
Dolph Ziggler makes his way to the ring, Intercontinental Champion, Kevin Owens soon follows. Cut to a backstage promo with Kevin and says he proves he is the best right now, and everything that matters is him, and if you don’t like that, then I don’t like you.

Back to the action as Owens has a rest hold applied, turning it into a sleeper hold of sorts. JBL brings up Tyler’s recent match with the legendary Jushin “Thunder” Liger from NXT Takeover: Brooklyn as Dolph finally fights out of the hold with a jawbreaker and follows up with a neckbreaker and an elbow for a two count! Dolph now, hopping on one leg going for a Fameasser but Owens grabs him but Dolph rolls him up twice before getting caught in a German suplex that tosses Dolph halfway across the ring, Owens with the cannonball for two. Breeze is taking a selfie, Ziggler tries to get Breeze and Owens hits the Pop-Up Powerbomb for the victory!
Winner: Kevin Owens! **** star match! For the time this match was given, this was a great match! It did something most matches don’t do nowadays; they tell a story and work on a body part, as well as advancing a feud for Breeze and Dolph!
Breeze goes into the ring and poses with the selfie cam, Dolph with a right hand on the face of Breeze but Dolph gets the Beauty Shot! Summer comes in the ring applauding her man and they both get in with a selfie!

Apparently this match happened because of an altercation on the Pre-Show. The Cosmic Ascension now are back in the Stardust Section as this one is underway.

The Wyatts make their way to the ring, Bray says every night is a special night, but tonight he wants everyone watching around the world to have something they will never ever forget. I will give you something truly special. You have all bear witness to my family carrying the rotting carcass of the Undertaker, and you have all bear witness to my family carrying the burning carcass of Kane! But it was never the bodies we wanted, because a body is temporary, and after a while a body is completely useless! But a soul lives forever! Unless that soul is consumed by a higher power! And I have become that higher power! And like I said, I would want to give you all something you will never forget! Because I, Bray Wyatt, have successfully harvested the souls of The Undertaker, and Demon Kane! And hour after hour, that power has become inconceivable and it all belongs to me! Because now I summon the thunder! And now I summon the lightning! I summon the forces of darkness, for I am Bray Wyatt, the Eater Of Worlds! And it is well within my power to summon the forces of evil and to scorch the earth and to take your world and to burn it straight to hell! He takes his hat off, does the Taker pose that we all know, and pyro flies all over!
