WWE Raw results, June 5, 2017: Could The Kingslayer stop Samoa Joe’s rampage?

One night after locking horns in the No. 1 Contender's Extreme Rules Fatal 5-Way Match, The Big Dog battles The Eater of Worlds.

WILKES-BARRE, Penn. — Bray Wyatt made it very clear in the lead-up to WWE Extreme Rules that his dream was to “slay The Beast” and claim the Universal Title. Alas, Samoa Joe now has that opportunity, and The Reaper of Souls has turned his attention toward the “guilty” Superstars who denied him, beginning with Roman Reigns.

The Big Dog, of course, wasn’t entirely appreciative of Wyatt running him down in his own yard, so he socked The Eater of Worlds in the mouth and seized early control of the match. Wyatt gradually wore his opponent down to an even level as the battle raged on, planting Reigns with a uranage and rallying from a Drive-By to connect with a clothesline that nearly knocked Reigns out cold. But Reigns saved his best burst for last, escaping Wyatt’s attempt at Sister Abigail to land a Superman Punch and a Spear for the win.

Dean Ambrose's scheduled match against Elias Samson is over before it even starts, as The Lunatic Fringe jumps Samson and pursues an Intercontinental Championship rematch against The Miz.

You can’t really blame Dean Ambrose for being a little raw (so to speak) about what went down at WWE Extreme Rules.

After Ambrose somehow managed to adhere to the stipulation that he could lose the Intercontinental Title to The Miz via disqualification at WWE Extreme Rules, a confrontation with the referee allowed The A-Lister to pin Dean the old-fashioned way, all of which is to say that The Lunatic Fringe wasn’t really in the mood for Elias Samson’s singing insults on Raw.

Ambrose ambushed Samson mid-ballad and threw him into the crowd, only stopping to demand his title rematch with The A-Lister. But Miz, having plenty of experience in avoiding people who want to beat him up, came prepared: The new Intercontinental Champion was ensconced in the safety of the backstage area, from which he revealed that Ambrose would not be getting a rematch, and Miz would instead kick off his “Intercontinental Championship Comeback Tour” with a celebration later in the evening.

And then, finally, Samson sprang back up and laid out Ambrose. Adding insult to injury (injuries?), Kurt Angle gave Ambrose the night off when the deposed former champion went hunting for The A-Lister backstage.

One night after becoming Raw Tag Team Champions, The Celtic Warrior and The Swiss Cyborg look to make short work of former SmackDown Tag Team Champions Heath Slater & Rhyno.

The Hardy Boyz’ handpicked proviso of a Steel Cage Match proved to be their undoing at WWE Extreme Rules, as Cesaro & Sheamus capitalized on the free-for-all stipulation to claim the Raw Tag Team Championship for the second time. And the team that claims they don’t just set, but embody the proverbial bar got their reign off to a formidable start by defeating Heath Slater & Rhyno, who never really got out of the blocks thanks to some clever misdirection by the champs early in the contest.

The One-Man Band managed to land a big kick on Sheamus, but The Swiss Cyborg took out Rhyno at ringside and The Celtic Warrior blasted Slater with the Brogue Kick for the win. The champions then took hold of the microphones and took a few verbal jabs at the Hardys, proclaiming that they were probably the only two people happy Matt & Jeff came back, because otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to defeat them for the titles.

TJP finally earns the WWE Cruiserweight Championship opportunity Neville promised him, but The King of the Cruiserweights makes it clear where The Duke of Dab stands.

After weeks of carrying out Neville’s bidding and helping him keep Austin Aries at bay, TJP is ready to claim what The King of the Cruiserweights promised: A WWE Cruiserweight Title Match. Or at least he says he is.

Truth be told, Neville played his right-hand man Monday night, promising TJP he would attempt to get the match sanctioned during The Fil-Am Flash’s bout against Mustafa Ali. Once TJP had defeated Ali, Neville resurfaced. The King of the Cruiserweights seemed to imply that he was unable to secure TJP’s promised match, but when The Duke of Dab demanded they speak to Kurt Angle together, Neville struck from behind and laid out TJP, revealing when he was done that TJP would get his opportunity on tomorrow’s 205 Live, exclusively on WWE Network.

The King of Flight faces Titus O'Neil as potential Titus Brand newcomer Akira Tozawa observes the action.

Turnabout, as they say, is fair play, so you can’t really fault Kalisto for securing his second consecutive win over The Titus Brand by doing to Titus O’Neil exactly what The Big Deal did to him a few weeks back.

Namely, roll up his formidable challenger and secure the fateful pinfall with a handful of tights, while O’Neil’s beleaguered protégé Apollo Crews looked on at ringside. As for Akira Tozawa, who O’Neil approached to join the Titus Brand earlier in the day, it’s safe to say The Big Deal will have to do much better in terms of his sales pitch the next time around.

Titus O'Neil & Apollo Crews hold a tense press conference following O'Neil's loss to Kalisto.

Enzo Amore finds a new 7-foot tag team partner to battle the so-called "good brothers" after Big Cass is incapacitated.

The twisted tale of who attacked Enzo Amore took an interesting twist this week, as it was Big Cass who found himself laid out by a mystery attacker. This time, there was even a piece of evidence at the scene — a gold chain, which hadn’t been seen since Muscles Marinara himself was jumped two weeks prior.

Enzo was slightly suspicious of the chain’s reappearance, but he also had another problem to deal with, as WWE officials deemed Big Cass would be unable to compete in their scheduled match against Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson..

Luckily, Cass isn’t the only seven-footer who likes to yell “S-A-W-F-T,” as Big Show answered the call to fill the void, spout the catchphrase and help defeat the “good brothers” come bell time.

Cass, however, seemed to find the timing of Show’s reappearance to be quite suspect, though Enzo stopped his partner just short of accusing The World’s Largest Athlete of being the mystery attacker. And all the while, Cass’ own No. 1 suspects, The Revival, roamed the hallways yet again, doing whatever “top guy things” demanded their attention.

In the wake of mysterious attacks on Enzo Amore, Big Cass suffers the same fate as his tag team partner.
