RAW

Raw opens with Kevin Owens coming to the ring. He says they are kicking off the year early because he has some fireworks. He plays a video of what happened between him and Seth Rollins.

Owens talks about how Rey Mysterio lost the U.S. Title at a house show and blames Rollins and AOP for the loss. We see a clip of Andrade winning the belt. Seth Rollins music hits and he comes out with Akam and Rezar. He says Kevin still doesn't understand what he is trying to do.

Owens doesn't wait for them to get to the ring and goes after AOP in the aisle. He gets in a few shots but AOP easily dominates him. Rollins calls the shots until Samoa Joe's music hits and he runs down in his ring gear. He takes out AOP and goes after Rollins with the Coquina Clutch. Akam and Rezar make the save. A ton of security guards run down to break up the fight.

Randy Orton takes a long time getting to the ring. He is on crutches and is barely touching his left foot to the ground. He sounds a little choked up as he begins talking about how accidents and injuries happen all the time.

The crowd chants for Orton as he talks about having to see people retire over the years due to injury. He brings up when Edge had to retire and relinquish the world title. He says he screwed his leg up really bad last night and didn't know how bad it was until he saw a doctor to get an MRI. He says he will be out a very long time and he might not be able to come back at all. He promises to make sure somebody gets an RKO at WrestleMania before AJ Styles comes out to interrupt.

Styles mocks Orton for being injured and says fate bit Randy before he could stop it. AJ says he will put his hands behind his back to Orton can take his best shot. The Viper just stares at him looking angry. He says he is patient enough to wait until he can face Orton at WrestleMania. He kicks one of Orton's crutches in a show of disrespect. Orton says the difference between them is he is not patient and reveals he was lying about his leg the whole time by hitting an RKO.


Andrade vs. Jobber

Andrade to throw the guy out of the ring and hit his finisher on a piece of the exposed concrete floor. Ricochet runs down to make the save before it can happen. Ricochet grabs a mic and says Andrade won't pull that tonight.

Andrade vs. Ricochet

Andrade won


Lana and Bobby Lashley Wedding

Lana gets mad when the guy officiating the wedding goes off script and mentions having kids. The crowd chants for Rusev as he continues. Lana freaks out and says this is not about Rusev. Lana and Lashley have written their own vows. Lana keeps losing her cool as the crowd keeps chanting for Rusev.

Lana gives her vows and kisses Lashley. She says she wrote Lashley's vows for him before he reads them to her. He puts the ring on her finger. We get to the part where the officiant asks if anyone has any objections. This brings out some random guy dressed in a suit. He says this wedding is a sham and should not be allowed to continue. Even the announcers have no idea who this is. He says he is Lana's first husband.

Lashley slams the guy so they can get on with the wedding. A woman comes out and objects to the wedding. She says she is Lashley's first wife. The crowd starts a Jerry Springer chant. Lana knocks her off the apron. The guy asks one more time if anyone has any objections and Liv Morgan comes out on the stage. She says she wouldn't have made it through this year if it wasn't for her true love. It turns out she is talking about Lana, not Lashley.

Lana attacks Liv and they brawl in the ring until officials come out to separate them. The guy tries one more time to finish the wedding before Rusev busts out of the cake and attacks Lashley. He beats Bobby down as Lana watches in horror. Liv comes back and attacks Lana.

The show ends with Rusev and Liv Morgan stand tall.


Rating: 60/60

It was alright for the most part until main event.
