Backstage: Roman Reigns Searches For Bray Wyatt
When we return from the break, after a quick recap of seeing Wyatt having a candle-lit tea party with no one, which led to Reigns leaving to the backstage area in the middle of his match with Sheamus, we shoot live where we see Reigns looking for Wyatt.
Finally, Reigns enters the room that Wyatt was apparently in. It was a dark room lit up with candles and a little tea party set up, along with pictures all over the wall and red writing on the wall that said, “Anyone But Him.” The whole time Reigns is in the room, by the way, we hear Wyatt off-camera somewhere in the background singing, “I’m a little tea-pot, short and stout ….”
Backstage: Seth Rollins & J&J Security
Backstage, we see Seth Rollins and J&J Security at the coffee machine. Rollins tells the two to chill out and get over it. J&J Security, still upset, run down some of the disrespectful things Rollins has done and said to them over the last several months.
Rollins plays to their softer side, saying they are more than just his security, they are his friends — and he needs them. He says he doesn’t need help with Brock Lesnar, which he makes it clear, he says he does need them to make sure — as his security — that they help at least get him to Battleground.
Rollins extends his hand for a hand shake and asks if they are cool or not. J&J Security ignore his hand shake offer and simply walk off as Rollins looks upset.
Neville vs. Kofi Kingston
After the multiple backstage segments, we head back live inside the arena where Neville’s theme music plays. Out comes “The Man That Gravity Forgot,” who will be in action — next. On that note, we head to another commercial break.
We’re back from the break and out comes The New Day to their typical ring entrance. It looks like it will be Kofi Kingston representing The New Day against Neville in one-on-one action.
The bell sounds and here we go. Early on, Neville is controlling the action with lots of kicks and a big suplex. The action ends up on the floor where Big E. and Xavier Woods get involved until The Prime Time Players come out to even out the numbers game.
Ultimately, both The New Day (excluding Kingston, who is in the match) and The Prime Time Players are sent to the back so that the one-on-one action can continue under fair circumstances.
While Kingston argues with the referee, Neville knocks him down and climbs up to the top rope. The former NXT Champion hits his spectacular Red Arrow finisher. 1-2-3. Neville wins.
Winner: Neville
King Barrett vs. Zack Ryder
Next up on WWE Monday Night RAW is another singles match. Out comes the royal one himself, King Barrett, while Zack Ryder is already in the ring awaiting him.
The bell rings and this one is officially underway. Prior to the start of the match, we see King What’s Up (R-Truth dressed up like a king) in a pre-recorded interview from backstage that was shown via split-screen while the Barrett-Ryder match began in the ring.
Ryder actually gets in some offense in the early goings, however Barrett eventually cuts his efforts short by leveling him with a monsterous clothesline.
Out of nowhere, Ryder nearly nails the King with a Broski Boot, however Barrett avoids it. Ryder goes to the top rope, but Barrett crotches him and follows up by blasting him with a King Bull Hammer Elbow. 1-2-3. King Barrett picks up the win.
Winner: King Barrett
