Stephanie enters the ring and takes the mic but a loud "you tapped out" chant starts up. Stephanie admits she expected a little more from the people here. They boo her more. Stephanie knows the crowd the night after WrestleMania has a little bit different international flavor, which she could smell on the way to the ring. She mentions how other crowds would have some sympathy. They chant "you tapped out" again. Stephanie says they're saying she tapped out but everyone has to admit they were surprised by one woman last night for the transition she made. Stephanie says that woman is her. She thanks the fans for their props. Stephanie says she knew she could show everyone what Rousey is made of if she brought her into this world.

Stephanie says with her in Rousey's corner, people will really support her and believe in her. Fans chant "bulls--t" now. Stephanie says Rousey is smarter than the people because she's a businesswoman and she knows that the talents need the office. Stephanie goes on and says she paid the price last night. Fans chant "shut the f--k up" at Stephanie now. Stephanie has just one more thing to say. She asks fans to give it up for her friend, WWE's "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey. Rousey is still smiling.

Miz says he is more than happy to interrupt this celebration. He wants to be the first to say Rollins does not deserve this. Fans chant "bumhole" at Miz. Miz says he deserves it because he made the IC Title the most prestigious title in WWE. Miz says he walked to the ring by himself last night because he knew if The Miztourage came with him then he would never hear the end of it when he beat Rollins and Balor.

Rollins says if Miz would like to cash in on his rematch clause, they can do it right here, right now. Fans chant "yes!" and Miz hypes the match up but says it's not happening now.

It hurt her to watch the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal from the sidelines because she was born to do this, she lives for this. Paige says she is unable to compete in the ring due to injuries. She says this is the hardest thing she's ever had to do... fans chant "thank you Paige" now. Paige says she would like to thank every female Superstar in the back as she's proud to be a part of this division.

Reigns starts to speak and the boos pick up some. He says we can see that he got his ass beat last night but he's here tonight and he can tell us this much - Brock Lesnar isn't here. Reigns says to be honest he still doesn't know what happened yesterday. He got to the Superdome and everything felt off, everyone looked at him differently and there were whispers. Reigns says Vince McMahon couldn't even smarten up but he does know that Brock is one hell of a business man. Reigns says word got out on Wednesday that Brock was going back to UFC but WWE announced today that Lesnar has signed a new deal with WWE. Reigns says he found out on the internet that he was booked in a steel cage match with Lesnar. Reigns says he doesn't know what's going on but he does know that if they keep putting him in matches with Lesnar, it will end with him becoming the Universal Champion.

Joe says no matter what went on, Reigns failed and that makes him a failure. Fans chant "failure" now. Joe says the loss also makes Reigns a liar. He lied to the fans, his family and himself because he can't admit that he always gets jacked up when he gets in the ring with Lesnar. Reigns gets broken while Lesnar gets richer. Joe goes on and says the cycle will soon end as Joe will be waiting at Backlash to put Reigns to sleep after Lesnar drags him around the cage in Saudi Arabia.

Winners - Jeff Hardy, Finn Balor and Seth Rollins

Post Match they destroyed the Miztourage

Joe absolutely annihilated Reigns on the mic

Reigns looked a broken man. Im digging his beef with Brock.

Kurt Angle taking a dig at TNA was amazing, Vince must be pissing himself laughing at them now.

Paige managed to put a lot of hard times behind her to get back to the promised land only to have it cruely cut short. Especially when her and AJ were blazing the path the division is on while still dealing with the dregs of the past. Heartbreaking for her but she’ll always have a role in the business.

Was it just me or did the crowd not seem as rowdy as usual post Mania Raw's? Except for Elias of course...

On that note...man has anyone been as over as this guy in last 5 years...obviously Bryan but for Elias to have this support without really being put over anyone is incredible...the man is golden. Sadly I can see WWE screwing this up in a similar vein as to Bray Wyatt...moves me onto Lashley...

His return felt very "meh"...perhaps it was all the talk of a Lesnar confrontation but just felt very underwhelming...oh and for the love of god someone tell me they werent tattoed eyebrows on his head?!!

It says alot about Rowdys physical presence and charisma that I can continously leave poor mic skills and move timing slide...felt very ponderous during the whole intial hug reversal into armbar last night ...yet i didnt care...I was full of praise for her during Mania and while she certainly has her flaws given time and more importanly right booking, WWE could be onto their greatest ever female wrestler of all time in terms of moving the needle.

Finally...Joe....absolute microphone gold...the man just oozes brilliance in everything he does. Injuries aside that right their is the man who should be front & center of the company. He is everything that Vince tries to paint Reigns to be and more. Some will say hes a heel so cant be face of the company...but truth is he could easily be a tweener in the style of SCSA.

As for Reigns/Brock..lots of conspiracy theories out their regards backstage heat....CM Punks reign...but for me its as simple as Vince not wanting a Poopie storm reigning down on Mania (though werent far off with that match anyway)...

Sadly think Reigns takes the title in Saudi next month where it will get a much better reception....the rumours are the re-signing of Brock is literally for a couple of additional dates...so expect him to then move onto the UFC fight in the fall.

Not a great Raw considering what that show has been, think they might be saving fun for next week. Not entirely against that, they often blow their lid in that one show and then flounder for a bit. 

Bit weird that Angle is just back to carrying on and the Cena situation. Got two weeks to build something with hhh for a story purpose

From what I've heard Vince changed the finish mid match at Mania for Brock to win because Reigns wasn't over enough with the crowd. FFS what did he expect! Hence the reason there are reports Brock went ape when got back to the gorilla position and apparently threw the belt at a wall next to Vince. Brock obviously wanted Mania to be his last date but has agreed for a one match deal with Reigns in Saudi Arabia. After that he's gone. They obviously expect Reigns to get a better reaction than in the States.

Personally I think it would have been awesome for Brock and Reigns to have opened Mania. The crowd naturally are buzzing at the start of the show and would have been hot for it. Or at least hotter than it going on last.

Ive heard plenty of rumours from within the confines of wrestling and in particular WWE that Vince is hugely out of touch with the product as a whole. He is still surrounded by yes men and part of the reason HHH has been given 205, and at first NXT is to limit his meddling on the main shows.

I can imagine Brock will majorly reign it in during their contest at Greatest Royal Rumble and to be fair wouldnt blame him if he did.

Why on earth Vince thinks putting a title on reigns in saudi arabia will change the reaction he gets when the product returns to USA is anyones guess....

The downside to it all.....guess who will be losing his first major feud back! Yep...poor old Joe....now we know why they had him go over Reigns so many times last year. The storyline writes itself....Reigns gets redemption beating Lesnar...then beats Joe who will use the buildup to remind him of how he has always had his number! EUGH!

I've never got Bobby Lashley.

I wonder how they’re going to sell Authors of Pain dumping Ellering. Even though he never got involved in matches he was a big part of the gimmick. Im worried they’re just going to become a generic big man tag team now.

I presume Ellering was ok with the small NXT schedule, but isn’t up for week after week on the road.

Unsure AOP will get over on the main roster

Crowd wasnt that wild

And yet still a bunch of busybodies on twitter getting all moral about how this crowd always crosses the line

Btw i love Jeffs old theme, they need to bring that back

Dolphin Ziggler wrote:I presume Ellering was ok with the small NXT schedule, but isn’t up for week after week on the road.

Certainly could be. Hope they go for the angle of being out of control destroyers without Ellering to keep them in check until he is brought back to focus them on a target (e.g. tag titles)

Monday 18th of June will be Brock's 435th day as World Champion, surpassing Punk, cant see him dropping it until then.

Wasn't too big on RAW last night, historically it's the best RAW of the year but with this draft coming up next week I think they're holding off on any potential new feuds, they may as well just do the draft on the first RAW and SD after Mania, it'll also help give feids at Mania that exclamation point.

Kay Fabe wrote:Monday 18th of June will be Brock's 435th day as World Champion, surpassing Punk, cant see him dropping it until then.

Totally agree with this - they like to wipe guys from their weird record books, and Brock is Vince's ultimate boy, whereas he isn't best mates with Punk!

No Way Jose is just an awful concept.
