Last night the WWE Universe in Amarillo, Texas were treated to a pretty average live event as the WWE Monday Night Raw roster landed in The Lone Star State and lined-up yet another solid match card for the WWE fans who were present at last night’s house show. Enzo Amore was the only champion who defended his championship on the night.
#1 Enzo Amore vs Cedric Alexander- (WWE Cruiserweight Championship)
Enzo Amore and Cedric Alexander’s match on Raw last week ended in a very disrupting manner after Enzo got busted open above his eye after a kick from Alexander. However, last night in Texas the two men squared off once against each other.
Enzo, who came out to one of the best heel reactions on the night successfully defended his Cruiserweight Championship against Cedric Alexander on the night, but, The Certified G’s problems are far from over as he is scheduled to face off against Alexander once again at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
Result: Enzo Amore def. Cedric Alexander
#2 The Bar (Cesaro and Sheamus) vs Apollo Crews (Titus O’Neil and Apollo Crews)
After suffering an upset loss to the duo of Apollo Crews and Titus O’Neil last week on Raw, Sheamus and Cesaro were out for revenge in Texas last night.
Much like Enzo Amore, the former Raw Tag Team Champions also received a great heel reaction from the WWE Universe but that did not stop Sheamus and Cesaro from overcoming the Titus Worldwide.
Result: Sheamus and Cesaro def. Titus O’Neil and Apollo Crews
#3 Sasha Banks and Mickie James vs Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss
The first women’s match of the night pitched four of the elite female performers from the Raw roster as the team of Sasha Banks and Mickie James faced off against Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss in a tag team match.
This match was pretty solid and Nia Jax, in particular, looked very impressive as usual, however, Jax and her best friend Alexa Bliss were on the losing side as Mickie and Sasha picked up the win.
Result: Sasha Banks and Mickie James def. Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss
#4 Braun Strowman and Curt Hawkins
Next up we had a match for the ages as ‘The Monster among Men’ Braun Strowman faced off against Curt Hawkins, who has been on a 153 match losing streak. As expected, Strowman was among the few superstars to receive a huge babyface reaction from the crowd and it did not take The Monster to annihilate Hawkins who now has 154 defeats on the trot.
Result: Braun Strowman def. Curt Hawkins
#5 Asuka vs Dana Brooke
Speaking of streaks, "The Empress of Tomorrow" was on course to continue her winning streak last night when she went toe-to-toe with Titus Worldwide’s newest member Dana Brooke. Asuka, as usual, made easy work of her opponent and got another impressive win, defeating Dana Brooke in tremendous fashion yet again.
Result: Asuka def Dana Brooke
#6 Finn Balor vs Elias
Finn Balor has been on a roll ever since forming The Balor Club on Raw, two weeks ago and last night the former Universal Champion was also treated to a huge reception from the WWE Universe in Amarillo.
"The Demon King" restarted his rivalry with Elias and also got the win over "The Drifter" on the evening, the leader of the Balor Club will now look to turn his focus on this year’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view as he looks to once again capture the Universal Title which he never lost in the first place.
Result: Finn Balor def Elias
#7 Matt Hardy vs Bray Wyatt
‘Woken’ Matt Hardy brought the Great War to Texas last night as he continued his feud against "The Eater of Worlds" Bray Wyatt. The two men have been part of a feud against each other over the course of the past few weeks, and last night Hardy managed to overcome the challenge of Wyatt and defeated the former WWE Champion.
Result: Matt Hardy def. Bray Wyatt
#8 Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins vs The Miztourage (The Miz, Curtis Axel, and Bo Dallas)
Shield members Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins had the uphill task of defeating the trio of The Miztourage in a 3-on-2 handicap match last night. Intercontinental Champion Roman Reigns and one half of the Raw Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins were also two superstars who got a great crowd reaction on the night, and the two Shield members capitalized on that momentum and managed to defeat the trio of Miz, Axel, and Dallas.
Result: Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins def The Miztourage
