On a night that was full of excitement heading into Sunday’s Clash of Champions pay-per-view. It will be very fun to see what happens this weekend in Indianapolis.
Kevin Owens started the show as he came down to the ring and talked about his match with Seth Rollins this Sunday, but General Manager Mick Foley and Commissioner Stephanie McMahon made a rematch between the Universal Champion and Roman Reigns, who lost his shot at the title thanks to United States Champion Rusev, but the main event would be inside a steel cage.

Rollins and Rusev were forced to face off against each other after their interference in the main event the week before. It was a back and forth match to kick off Raw, but it ended with the two both being counted out and the match ending in a draw while Rollins got the final laugh.

TJ Perkins won the Cruiserweight Championship at the first ever Cruiserweight Classic and everyone knew he was coming to Raw soon. However, the four men that made a debut in the division were Rich Swann, Cedric Alexander, The Brian Kendrick and Classic runner-up Gran Metalik.
The four met up in a No. 1 Contender’s Match for the title at Clash Of Champions. Kendrick hasn’t worked in WWE since 2009, but he ended up pulling out the win and getting the title shot.
