April Week 2
San Diego,CA
Welcome to Monday Night Raw!!! Tonight we have an action packed show for you! We will see Cesaro and Brock Lesnar in action, but not against each other as that match is scheduled for Extreme Rules in three weeks. The Tag Team Tournament first round will conclude tonight and the US Title tournament will continue as well! The pyro is going off so you know what that means, it's time for Raw!!
The music of Cesaro hits the arena as he makes his way down to the ring to loud cheers from the crowd. The “Cesaro section” is going crazy as well.
Cesaro: In three weeks I will step into the ring with a beast, the man known as Brock Lesnar. I had a brief stint as a Paul Heyman guy but that clearly didn't work out and honestly I think I've done pretty well for myself. Tag Team champions with Tyson Kidd ring a bell to anyone? The crowd cheers loudly at this as Cesaro acknowledges them. As Cesaro is about to speak again AJ Style's music hits and out he comes. A referee gets in the middle of the two and our first match is set to get underway.
Match 1: AJ Styles vs. Cesaro
Cesaro grabs AJ by the head and tosses him across the ring to start this one! Styles hits a suplex then a running body splash to Cesaro and then a springboard moonsault! He tries to stay on Cesaro but the Swiss Superman gets a suplex in now. He tries for a tiger suplex but Styles counters with a fisherman's carry neckbreaker! After an elbow to the head of Cesaro, Styles goes for the cover but Cesaro kicks out at two. Styles now takes time to taunt to the crowd and can be heard saying “this is the guy who's going to beat Brock”?
He takes too long gloating and Cesaro pushes AJ from behind into the corner, he sets him on the top rope from behind and hits a huge back superplex! Cesaro with the pin, but Styles kicks out at two! A flip over neckbreaker from Cesaro then the gutwrench suplex combos. Cesaro is on fire!! He decks Styles with a European Uppercut but fails to get the cover as he falls to a knee which allows Styles rolls out to the apron. AJ gets up first and goes for the Phenomenal Forearm but he misses as Cesaro ducks out of the way and AJ crashes to the mat! Cesaro pounces quickly as he picks up AJ and plants him with the Neutralizer to get the pinfall victory!!
Winner by pinfall: Cesaro
The scene cuts to Triple H and Stephanie in their office. Tyler Breeze walks in and interrupts their conversation.
Tyler: I never needed Fandango,he was a joke plain and simple. Put me in that US Title tournament so I can make that title gorgeous again!
Triple H: Very well Tyler, You'll face Tyson Kidd tonight. Make me proud kid, I called you up from NXT for a reason.
Match 2 Tag Team Tournament Round 1: The Dudley Boys vs. The Golden Truth
Bubba Ray and R-Truth start this one and Bubba charges Truth and quickly hits a DDT, then rakes his face in the mat. He picks up Truth and whips him into the corner where Truth reverses and hits a running bulldog practically running Bubba all the way to his corner where he tags in Goldust. Bubba hits a facebuster to Goldust and makes the tag to D-Von. Goldust hits a powerslam and pins D-Von but he gets the shoulder up at two. D-Von then does an electric chair drop on Goldust and tags Bubba Ray back in who stomps on the chest of Goldust then stomps the leg after that. Goldust hits a short-arm shoulder tackle, then a Curtain Call but only gets a two count as the shoulder comes up for Bubba Ray. He then connects with the Final Cut and goes for a second pin attempt. D-Von misses on the save but somehow Bubba Ray manages to kick out and they avoid the upset!
The four men brawl in the ring and this exchange favors the Dudley's as they take control and connect Erwith 3D on both Goldust and R-Truth! Bubba pins Goldust and the Dudley's advance to round 2!
Winners by pinfall: The Dudley Boys
We now see a dark room and two men with sheep masks on, one black and one white. They remove the masks to reveal they are Braun Stroman and Erick Rowan of The Wyatt Family. Braun begins to speak.
Braun: We have been separated from our brothers but that does not change our overall goal. Destruction is what we do best and we will make Luke and Bray proud as we all start to grow more powerful.
Erick: Tonight it all begins. We may be separated, but that only makes the family stronger....
Match 3 US Title Tournament: Tyler Breeze vs. Tyson Kidd
The start of this match is very back and forth as neither man can gain a clear hold over the other. Both hit moves on the other and reverse a lot of moves as well. Clearly they have done their homework. Tyson plants Breeze with a DDT but it's kicked out of at one by Breeze, Kidd follows that up by going to the top rope and connecting with a Blockbuster on Breeze. He goes to pick him up but Tyler rakes the eye then rolls up Kidd and locks in a single leg boston crab! Tyson is in the hold for a good bit but manages to fight out of it! Now what's this?? The music of Fandango hits and he comes walking nonchalantly down to the ring! This causes Tyler to go to the ropes as he is furious at this interference. Tyson uses this chance to turn Prince Pretty around and plant him with a Fisherman neckbreaker to advance in the tournament!
Winner by pinfall: Tyson Kidd
Match 4: The Wyatt Family (Erick & Braun) vs. Los Matadores
This match really was all domination by Erick & Braun....for a time!! It took a little bit but Los Matadores were able to find some momentum and get back into the match. After all 4 men brawled in the ring and Los Matadores found their footing in the match it seemed like Erick and Braun were done playing around. They once again took control and rode that domination wave all the way to victory and they advance in the tournament.
Winners by pinfall: Braun Strowman & Erick Rowan
Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar come down to the ring to loud boos from the crowd....
Paul: Ladies and gentlemen, My name is Paul Heyman and I am the advocate for the Beast Incarnate, and the soon to be WWE Universal Champion of the World.....BROOOOCK LEEEESNAAAAAR! Last week my client's opponent's were unable to compete as they were taken out by someone....we have no idea who that could have been at all. Brock Lesnar would never do something like that he only wants a fair fight. Now allow me to stop laughing internally at that statement. In three weeks your Swiss Superman will face his Kryptonite in Brock Lesnar and then no one will be able to stop him from wrecking havoc all up and down this roster.
Daniel Bryan's music hits and he comes to the ramp now....
Daniel: You do know Brock has a match tonight Paul right? And that match is against me!
Paul: Daniel Bryan....you just made the biggest mistake of your entire life. After coming back last week you already have a head injury. And now you make it worse by coming out here doing this? After Brock is done with you it won't just be your head that's injured....you will have to retire AGAIN!
Main Event: Daniel Bryan vs. Brock Lesnar
Daniel comes out with a fire going after Lesnar using his speed and quickness getting the early upper hand. Brock eventually settles in and pounds Bryan with fists to his face over and over again. He then picks him up and plants him with repeated German Suplexes all while Paul's on the outside saying “I told you so Daniel”. He picks up Bryan and now hits three consecutive powerbombs and Brock starts laughing to himself admiring his handy work. He let's Daniel get back up and attempt to kick him but Lesnar catches it, kicks him in the gut and drills him with an F5! 1,2,3!
Winner by pinfall: Brock Lesnar
As Paul Heyman raises Brock's hand in victory Lesnar decides he's not done with Daniel yet as he starts to ground and pound the man's face. The music of Cesaro hits and he comes running out to the ring! Brock gets up from the beat down and rolls out of the ring. The show goes off the air with Cesaro in the ring checking on Daniel and Brock with Paul walking up the ramp. Brock turns back and gives a sly smile to Cesaro.
