It won’t surprise you to know that Seth Rollins was stripped of his World Heavyweight Title on Raw last night. He also announced that they would crown a new champion at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Salt Lake City in a match with CM Punk. They had a Battle Royal to determine his opponent at the show and Jey Uso was the winner.
The guy shadowing Rusev on Raw last night was independent wrestler Alex Ace. As a man once famously said, Ace is “seven foot tall and you can’t teach that” so it’s not surprising that he was brought in even if just for one night.
Also for whatever this is worth UFC veteran Nate Diaz was in attendance at Raw last night.
AJ Styles and Dragon Lee defeated Judgment Day for the World Tag Team Titles on Raw.

R-Truth says he dropped being Ron Killings when John Cena dropped being heel: “It went where it was supposed to. Ron Killings created R-Truth. Those hundreds of millions of fans who spoke and up-roared. They wanted R-Truth back. Ron Killings was the rebellious one who spoke up for R-Truth. Ron Killings has been around for years, but people had never come together in lockstep like that. They did that for R-Truth. You feel me? I wanted Ron Killings to go where he was supposed to go. He made a statement; he had eyes on him. When John Cena came back, R-Truth came back. Ron Killings was the cavalry.”

We’re going to Southern Junction, which is an awesome venue, an awesome bar, as well, sits up to 1,000 people. I might be overreaching, but I think me and my girls can do it.”
