Full WWE Raw Spoilers From Manchester
Read on if you want to know...
Following Friday's SmackDown tapings at the Manchester Arena, WWE taped Monday Night Raw in the same venue to air on a more than 72-hour tape delay. The spoilers ahead were submitted by Stephen Lyon to the Figure 4 Weekly website.
MATCH RESULTS
*Women's Tag Team champions Asuka and Kairi Sane def. Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, following a distraction finish facilitated by both Shayna Baszler and Bayley
*Drew McIntyre def. Sin Cara
*R-Truth vs. The Singh Brothers ended abruptly via a chase to the back. The 24/7 angle was not followed up on, at least to those in attendance
*Seth Rollins def. WALTER by DQ after Imperium interfered. That led to...
*Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, and The Street Profits def. Imperium
*Andrade def. Cedric Alexander
*Erick Rowan def. Soner Dursun, a Manchester native who wrestles for promotions such as Grand Pro, Tidal Championship Wrestling, and TNT Extreme. Rowan gave a burlap sack to the announcers to "look after" while he wrestled.
*The Viking Raiders def. Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster
*Ricochet, Humberto Carrillo, and Randy Orton def. The OC. Orton and Ricochet teased friction during the match.
OTHER NOTES
*It was just Vic Joseph and Jerry Lawler on the call. No Dio Maddin, still presumably selling his injuries from last week
*Lana came out and revealed that she was pregnant with Rusev's child. Rusev demanded an explanation and was attacked by Bobby Lashley. Crowd was said to have dumped all over this segment
*The Fiend appeared following the main event and beat up all three members of The OC
*Report says that while the crowd in Manchester was into SmackDown, they were "dead for most of Raw".
