WWE Raw Live: 4 July 2016

Thanks for joining us folks, and we'll see you next week!

Only Sheamus left now, as Big Show tags in Zack Ryder. Zack Ryder nails a Rough Ryder on Sheamus thanks to a helping hand from Big Show as Team USA outlast the Multi-National Alliance with 2 men left standing to close out the show. A huge USA flag unfurls over the ring as the commentators wish viewers a happy Independence Day and Raw ends.

Ryder then tags in Big Show, who knocks out Jericho with a single punch and pins him. He follows it up with a chokeslam and takes out ADR as well

The Multi-National alliance then falls apart as Cesaro goes on an uppercut barrage on all his teammates. Ryder takes advantage and pins Cesaro to eliminate him. Chaos and anarchy reign, ladies and gentlemen.

Crews then runs into a Brogue Kick and gets eliminated by Sheamus. This leaves Jericho, ADR, Cesaro and Sheamus in the Multi-National team versus just Big Show and Zacy Ryder

Owens attacks Zayn with a steel chair next, getting himself disqualified. Kane attacks Owens with the chair, and he gets himself eliminated, before chokeslamming Sami Zayn, who is pinned by Crews.

What do we have here!? Kevin Owens hits the Pop-up Powerbomb on Mark Henry and pins him for the three count! He then turns and starts brawling with his own team mate Sami Zayn!

Apollo Crews tags in Mark Henry after nailing an extremely athletic dropkick on ADR. Henry comes in and nails the World's Strongest Slam on Kalisto. That's goodbye for the Lucha Dragons

We return from the break to see Apollo Crews going at it with Alberto Del Rio

The match descends into chaos next, as all the participants enter the ring for a full-blown brawl. Surprise surprise.

He out-wrestles Cesaro and locks in the Patriot lock, only for the Swiss Superman to escape the hold sufficiently to tag in Jericho. "Stupid Idiot" chants go up! Swagger goes for the Swagger Bomb only for Jericho to counter with a Code Breaker and pin him for the three count. Jack Swagger has been eliminated!

Cesaro eliminates D-Von next in quick succession with a Sharpshooter, allowing Swagger to enter the fray

Cesaro eliminates D-Von

Sheamus comes in next and Brogue Kicks Bubba Ray, allowing Kalisto to land a splash of the top rope and pin him for the 3 count. One man down for either side, Sin Cara for the Multi-National alliance and Bubba Ray for team USA

Bubba Ray comes in and the Dudley Boyz nail Sin Cara with a 3D and eliminate him

Kevin Owens starts things off against Zack Ryder, and the quick tag is made either way to get Sin Cara and D-Von Dudley in

It seems to be a size vs skill match-up by the looks of it

Team USA follows, boasting of Big Show, Mark Henry, Jack Swagger, Apollo Crews, Zack Ryder, The Dudley Boyz and Kane

The multi national team comprising Chris Jericho, Sami Zayn ,Kevin Owens, Cesaro, Lucha Dragons, Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus is out for the 16 man tag team match.

BREAKING: John Cena with Enzo and Cass versus The Club made official for Battleground!

It's been coming with how Xavier Woods has been reacting to Bray's promos these past few weeks, but it has finally arrived it would seem. It really looks like The New Day are about to split up from here. Well, it was certainly fun when it lasted

XAVIER: If you don't see the threat the Wyatts represent, I don't know if #TheNewDay will survive! #RAW pic.twitter.com/5Z0nSWAVxE

Bray Wyatt cuts a promo and challenges the New Day. Kofi and Big E accept the challenge, but Xavier Woods expresses his concern about how dangerous the Wyatt Family is. He says that Kofi and Big E need to realise that or the New Day won't survive, and Woods walks out on them. Is this the end of the New Day?

Big E says the Wyatts don't stray from the family tree, and that their "sisters appreciate their misters". Subtle. The Wyatts interrupt them with a vignette, as the lights in the arena go out.

It's the WWE Tag Team Champions, New Day!

Oh, change of plans!

Up next is the 16-man Team USA versus Team Everywhere else main event

We cut to a backstage segment with Jericho trying to get the non-American team on the same page, but Kevin Owens takes over the team talk, saying that he's ready to beat up some "stupid idiot Americans"

Becky is quick to reverse the tide of the match after that, and makes Summer Rae tap out with a Disarmer. The crowd seems relatively hot for Becky, but this match didn't do anything to further the Becky-Natalya feud, unless the WWE is angling at a Triple Threat. Oh god no.

Summer Rae botches a Suplex and drops Becky on her head. Luckily she isn't injured

Summer Rae gets in early offence, as Natalya is watching backstage on a TV.

Becky Lynch is out next, for her match against Summer Rae

A short vignette featuring Shining Stars airs. Any opinions on a worse gimmick in recent memory?

The number game is even! The crowd go wild as Enzo and Cass, along with Cena, clear house!

Enzo and Cass are out to make the save!

They gang up and start beating up on John Cena!

Styles cuts a funny promo saying how every day of note, he wants to beat up John Cena. Gallows and Anderson join in too!

He even references 'the shovel' in John Cena's hand and says that Anderson and Gallows are his insurance policy against that

Styles mentions that the Club already runs Tokyo and will soon run the WWE

AJ Styles comes out and says he expected something patriotic from Cena, but what he's doing is pathetic!

He calls out the entire Club, and they oblige!

He claims he has to worry about the Club every single time he steps out into the ring

He tries to rev up the audience, as he cuts a promo on AJ Styles, and how he's waited 15 years to make his mark in the WWE

John Cena is out next, and admittedly, it isn't too great a reaction.

Bob Backlund gives Darren Young his Cross-face Chicken Hold!
