WWE 'Monday Night Raw' Results 1/11/16: Brock Lesnar Returns, Roman Reigns vs. Everyone
The January 11, 2016 episode of WWE's Monday Night Raw emanates live from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans and features the return of Brock Lesnar, plus Roman Reigns vs. everyone in the main event. We've got the full results for you, so let's see what happened.
The show begins with most of the members of the locker room standing on the stage. Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon come out and Vince says the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion is in that group because all they have to do is toss Reigns over the top rope.
The Wyatt Family interrupts and Bray Wyatt says that it's just like he always said: "Anyone but you, Roman." Reigns then makes his way to the ring and he just has one simple question for the boss: "What happens if I win?"
Stephanie laughs and Vince says tonight Reigns will compete in a "One vs. All Match." He could face anyone in that locker room during the match, but not Dean Ambrose because he has a match with Sheamus right now.
The Celtic Warrior attacks Ambrose from behind and the match begins. The two brawl to a double countout. Ambrose hurls Sheamus into the steel steps, which busts him open. Kevin Owens then attacks Ambrose until five referees pull them apart.
Backstage, Renee Young waits outside Dean Ambrose's locker room, and an irate Ambrose tells her that he is ready to rip Kevin Owens apart.
Vince and Stephanie are backstage and they run into Paul Heyman. They talk about Lesnar's appearing in either tonight's match or the Royal Rumble match, and Heyman says his client is a prize fighter who should headline WrestleMania for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Vince doesn't care for this idea and they argue until Stephanie brings them into an office.
Titus O'Neil defeats Stardust, who is dressed up in tribute to the late David Bowie, with Clash of the Titus. Stardust throws him into the barricade after the match.
Chris Jericho comes out to do the Highlight Reel and has a long segment with The New Day and The Usos. Jericho suggests The Usos take on Kofi Kingston and Big E with Y2J and Xavier Woods in the corners.
Jericho destroys the trombone, which ruins Woods' life. The Usos then roll up a distracted Kofi for the victory.
Vince, Stephanie, and Heyman are still discussing Brock Lesnar and arguing about a WrestleMania main event or a Royal Rumble appearance.
JBL announces that Sting is the first inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2016.
The Social Outcasts come out and cut a promo before they face The Wyatt Family, who own the match until Ryback comes out and takes them out.
Renee Young interviews Kalisto about his United States Championship match up next, and Kalisto says he's going to capitalize on the opportunity tonight.
Del Rio cuts a promo about taking out John Cena and causing him to miss WrestleMania. Kalisto becomes the new U.S. champ when he reverses a German suplex attempt into a roll up.
Jojo interviews Charlotte and Ric Flair about what she did last week to Becky Lynch. Charlotte cuts a great promo and says she will defend the title at all costs without letting her friend run her life.
Charlotte is set to face Brie Bella, but Becky comes out and completely destroys the WWE Divas Champion. When she's done, she lets out a terrific line: "I'm taking your championship, and I'm taking your arm." Ric Flair then tells the referee that Charlotte is now in no shape to fight tonight thanks to Becky.
Backstage, Jojo asks Becky about the attack, and she cuts a tremendous promo about how Charlotte betrayed her. She's better off on her own now, and she's coming for that title.
Roman Reigns faces pretty much every heel on the roster, but he works almost exclusively with Kevin Owens throughout the match until the rest of the heels gang up on him. As this happens, Brock Lesnar comes out to wreak havoc on everybody, and he punctuates his feast with an F5 to Reigns to end the show.
