RAW

The show opens with Stephanie McMahon giving Mick Foley a performance review for 2016.

Seth Rollins walks in and says he will be competing in the Royal Rumble match. Just then, Braun Strowman demands a match with Goldberg or Roman Reigns.

Rollins attacks Strowman and it takes several members of security to break them up. Steph tells Foley to get things under control.

Back in the arena, Reigns heads to the ring. 

Before the bell rings, Braun Strowman's music hits and he starts heading toward the ring. Reigns leaves the ring and the two start fighting in the aisle.

Strowman throws Reigns into the ring where Jericho and Owens pounce on him. All three men start beating Reigns to a pulp.

Seth Rollins runs to the ring with a steel chair. He tosses it to Strowman and kicks it into his face like RVD used to do all the time.

Reigns gets his own chair and they clear the ring, using two simultaneous chair shots to knock Strowman from the ring. Stephanie comes out and says this is not how this match will end.

She says the U.S. title match will take place later so Reigns can recover, but Rollins will face Strowman right now

Shawn Michaels comes out 

HBK acts like his energetic entrance has already worn him out. He says he has missed seeing the WWE Universe on a regular basis, especially during this time of year.

He talks about the Rumble being in his hometown of San Antonio and the Rumbles he won 20 years ago.

He starts talking about all the big stars who have already been announced for the Royal Rumble match. The crowd starts chanting "One more match." 

Shawn jokes and says "Don't try to peer pressure me." He says the real reason he is here is to talk about his new movie, The Resurrection of Gavin Stone.

Rusev and Jinder Mahal come out with Lana to interrupt the segment.

Rusev says HBK should use CGI to put Lana into his movie like they did in Star Wars. HBK says that's not how movies work.

Enzo and Cass come out to help HBK, with Enzo still rolling around in his wheelchair. 

Enzo puts over HBK as the realest guy in the room. He says Rusev is right about Lana being a good actress because she acts like she is attracted to Rusev.

Big Cass and Enzo run through some movies Rusev could be in like The Good,The Bad and The Ugly.

Rusev threatens to put all three of them in a wheelchair, so Cass steps up to him and says they can finish this one on one if he wants. Rusev says Cass will face Mahal instead.

Big Cass vs. Jinder Mahal 

HBK hits Rusev with a superkick, much to the delight of the fans. Cass hits the Empire Elbow to get the pin and the win.

Big Cass won

Mick Foley comes out to produce Undertaker 

Mick Foley talks about working with The Undertaker at the start of his Mankind gimmick. 

Stephanie says she has to give Foley his performance review right now since Taker isn't there. She says for every step forward Mick takes, he takes two steps back.

She blames him for losing to SmackDown in the ratings and creating a false buzz for Taker tonight.

The lights drop out again, but this time it's The Undertaker's music we hear through the speakers. He emerges on the stage as Smoke fills aisle.

Foley hands Taker the mic, and he rips the WWE logo off of it before he starts talking. Loud Undertaker chants fill the arena as he says "I'm back." 

He immediately says he will be entering the Royal Rumble. We see Strowman watching on a monitor in back for a moment. He says he answers to no one and goes where he wants, when he wants.

He brings up how he lost at WrestleMania in the same town they are in now, but his journey continues through the Royal Rumble. 

Taker leaves the ring after saying he will bury all 29 opponents. He heads up the ramp, turns to look at the ring one more time and raises his fist in the air.

New Day come out

After the break, Titus O'Neil apologizes to Woods for hitting him last week and begs for another chance to be part of The New Day. 

Kofi plays footage of Titus in the original NXT almost seven years ago, mainly
when he tripped trying to carry a keg around the ring.

They mock Titus and reveal they have a keg at ringside for him to try carrying again. Kofi tells him the keg is filled with booty juice.

Titus actually grabs the keg and tries to run around the ring with it. He circles the ring and beats the time they set up for him by half a second, but they say he dropped the keg before he reached the finish line.

Titus shoves Kofi after they show the replay, so Kofi asks the crowd if they want to see him take on TItus. They obviously say yes, so this match will happen after the break.

Kofi Kingston won 

Roman Reigns (C) vs. KO and Jericho for the US Title in a handicap match

Rating: 80/80
Undertaker & Shawn Michaels bought this show together and their was some great matches leading up to Royal Rumble and the main event was pretty good!
