Raw results, Sept. 19, 2016: Seth Rollins risks it all to punish Kevin Owens and Rusev

After being ambushed by The Super Athlete, The Big Dog comes to Raw ready for a fight.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Since Raw is in the home of Elvis Presley, it’s only fitting that the show began with not a hound dog, but a Big Dog. And it was one with a suspicious mind, no less, as Roman Reigns basically walked to the ring at the top of the broadcast looking for satisfaction after Rusev attacked him last week. He got it courtesy of Raw’s power team of Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley, who both gave Reigns a United States Title opportunity against Rusev at Clash of Champions and confirmed that The Bulgarian Brute would battle Seth Rollins on Raw. The showdown would be their punishment for interfering in the main event the previous week.

Moreover, Foley, who felt he was GM’ing for his job after weeks of insurgency from the Raw roster, attempted to rectify the situation by sanctioning a rematch between Reigns and WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens later in the night. That, of course, didn’t sit well with Owens, who popped up to openly question The Hardcore Legend's decision-making process. And while Stephanie managed to placate Owens with a non-title qualifier, Foley still put a capper on the bout by adding a steel cage stipulation.

The masked marvel attempts to derail the locomotive-like Braun Strowman.

A couple of weeks ago, Sin Cara got a moral victory against Braun Strowman by staggering the big man and forcing him to take a count-out win over a more typical obliteration. It was no such luck tonight for The International Sensation, who faced Strowman a second time and suffered a far more decisive defeat. To his credit, Sin Cara picked up where he left off and took Strowman to the proverbial limit on the strength of several kicks to the leg and a suicide dive that nearly took him off his feet. But Strowman caught Sin Cara clean out of the air when the luchador went for a moonsault, and slammed him into the mat for a decisive 1-2-3.

The aggressive Bo Dallas makes short work of yet another local competitor on Raw.

That’s three for the new-look Bo Dallas, who continued his “Bo-lieve in Bo” campaign with his third-consecutive defeat of a local competitor. This one, named Gary Graham, actually made it tough for Dallas, even notching a two-count off a rollup. But once Bo flipped the switch, there was no stopping him. Dallas trapped Graham’s head in the ropes, punched the poor guy senseless and finally finished him off in short order.

The Swiss Superman's continues to build momentum as he battles The Celtic Warrior in the penultimate match in the Best of Seven Series.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a tie game. Or more to the point, a tied Best of Seven Series between Sheamus and Cesaro, as The King of Swing rattled off his third unanswered victory to even the series at 3-3 on Raw. Such a development was unfathomable only two weeks ago, when The Irishman had pummeled Cesaro into a 0-3 hole, but here we are.

Granted, Cesaro kind of bent the rules for last week’s win by using the ropes. So Sheamus was out for vengeance in the most brutal sense of the word in Match No. 6, all but obliterating The Swiss Superman’s back with White Noise on the apron, a Celtic Cross-backbreaker hybrid and a Cloverleaf. The King of Swing hung tight and Sheamus tried a rope-assisted pin of his own, but the ref caught this one and Cesaro sprang into action, European uppercutting Sheamus out of a Battering Ram and hitting the Neutralizer for win No. 3.

On to Clash of Champions for the finale.

Kofi Kingston, Big E, Enzo Amore, Big Cass & Sami Zayn team up against Chris Jericho, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson & The Shining Stars.

Chris Jericho is not a fan of Mick Foley’s management skills, which is why The Ayatollah of Rock ’n’ Rolla originally went to the ring to air his grievances via “The List of Jericho” (drink it in, maaaannnnn.) But what turned into an open-air vent sesh soon turned into a match when Enzo Amore, Big Cass, The New Day, The Shining Stars, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson and Sami Zayn all came to the ring, leading to a 10-Man Tag between the various teams of rivals.

What was shaping up to be a lengthy bout took a dramatic turn when Big Cass entered the fray against Primo, as every Superstar started throwing hands. The final scrap was between Zayn and Jericho, and it ended up deciding the match when Zayn went for the Helluva Kick, but hit Primo with the move when Jericho dodged it. Cass quickly rushed back into the ring to tag in Enzo and Rocket Launcher Primo for the win. Bada boom. Add that to the list.

The disgruntled Chris Jericho's tirade against Raw General Manager Mick Foley gives way to a verbal joust involving Enzo Amore & Big Cass, The Shining Stars, The New Day, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson and Sami Zayn.
