WWE World Tag Team Champions: The Shield’s Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns
-Highlights from last week kicks off the show.
-HHH returns tonight. Also, the Shield will battle Randy Orton and Team Hell No.
-Stephanie McMahon is announced and makes her way to the ring. Stephanie says it is great to be back on Raw, but wishes it was under better circumstances. At Extreme Rules, her husband competed against Brock Lesnar in a brutal match. And then 24 hours later, against doctor’s orders, competed against Curtis Axel. But she is here tonight to make an executive decision to not allow Triple H to compete tonight. She doesn’t want him to jeopardize his well-being against a man that is beneath. Triple H has given his life and body for all of you, but the decision is not about you. She then says not to be selfish about this, and then…
Vince McMahon’s music hits and he power struts his way to the ring. Vince and Stephanie hug, and then Vince mugs for the cameras and says the crowd is happy to see him. He is happy to see them as well, but he has a personal request to make. He asks the crowd not to boo Stephanie about this. He says she has feelings just like them, and says that they should have compassion. Triple H, well, he has given everything he possible could. Stephanie says that she loves him more than they do, and Vince agrees. Triple H is the father of his grand children, and Vince then says he will not compete. They go to leave, and then Vince asks what they want as the crowd chants for Triple H. “WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT FROM THAT MAN?” Vince says this is family entertainment, and not a blood sport. For the record, Kofi Kingston last week went through a table and the crowd chanted one more time. Well there will not be one more time for Triple H, not tonight or any night. Plus Curt Axel is beneath Triple H, just like the crowd is beneath Triple H.
The Shield then arrives. During the break, Vince and Stephanie bailed and we are set for our six-man tag.
Ambrose and Bryan to begin, and Bryan with rights and kicks, taking Ambrose to the corner. Snap mare and kicks by Bryan follow, tag to Kane who connects with the basement dropkick for 2.

Orton looks for a tag and gets it to Bryan. Bryan goes insane ass beating style like Friday, cleans house and destroys fools as the crowd loves it. Kicks to Ambrose, nails Rollins who was up top. He then goes up and RANA on Rollins, who then lands on Ambrose! SUICIDE DIVE to Reigns! Bryan up top and a missile dropkick to Ambrose, and that gets a CLOSE 2.
