The Superstars of Monday Night Raw put on a Live Event in Tokyo, and the marquee attraction was Chris Jericho’s second match since he was written off television on the May 02, 2017, episode of SmackDown Live. The rest of the card was fairly standard and featured defences of the Cruiserweight and Raw Tag Team Championships. The main event featured a singles match between Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt.
Without any further ado, here are the results from the show.
#1 Neville (C) vs. Akira Tozawa for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship
In a precursor to their upcoming bout at Great Balls of Fire, Neville locked horns with Japanese Native Tozawa. The King of the Cruiserweights has been one of the best acts on WWE television, and he did not relent in Tokyo.
Result: Neville defeated Akira Tozawa to retain the WWE Cruiserweight Championship
#2 Titus O’Neil vs. Bo Dallas
The crowd wasn’t invested this match, and it was a rather tepid affair.
Result: Titus O’Neil defeated Bo Dallas
#3 Asuka, Bayley and Sasha Banks vs. Emma, Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss
Performing in the country of her birth, NXT Women’s Champion Asuka joined forces with Bayley and Sasha Banks to take on the team of Emma, Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss. The Empress of Tomorrow incredibly over with the crowd, and she forced Emma to submit to the Asuka Lock. Asuka, Bayly and The Boss made for a dream tag team!
Result: Asuka, Bayley and Sasha Banks defeated Emma, Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss
#4 Sheamus and Cesaro (C) vs. Heath Slater and Rhyno for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships
Heath Slater and Rhyno were a Cinderella story on SmackDown Live, but they are floundering on Raw. They were convincingly defeated by the reigning Champions.
Result: Sheamus and Cesaro defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno to retain the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships.
#5 Chris Jericho vs. Hideo Itami
Jericho may have lost to Itami in Singapore, but he wouldn’t be denied on this occasion. Y2J went back and forth with the creator of the GTS and earned the submission victory with the Walls of Jericho.
Result: Chris Jericho defeated Hideo Itami
#6 Finn Balor vs. Karl Anderson
The two former members of the Bullet Club returned to their old stomping grounds, and as expected, Finn Balor picked up a routine victory with the Coup de Grace.
Result: Finn Balor defeated Karl Anderson
#7 Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose vs. The Miz and Samoa Joe
The story of the match centred around The Miz trying to avoid Dean Ambrose. However, the Lunatic Fringe wouldn’t be denied, and he pinned the Intercontinental Champion after successfully executing the Dirty Deeds.
Result: Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose defeated The Miz and Samoa Joe
#8 Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt
Reigns and Wyatt have been doing the same match on several house shows. They went back and forth with each other before Roman Reigns staged a comeback and claimed the victory with the Spear.
Result: Roman Reigns defeated Bray Wyatt
