Seth Rollins Promo (w/Buddy Murphy and AOP)

Seth Rollins thanks the WWE Universe for allowing to lead Monday Night Raw to stardom and transitions his focus to Buddy Murphy, who opened his eyes and made an amazing decision last week on Raw when he helped Rollins and AOP win the main event fist fight against Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, and The Big Show.

He welcomes his newest disciple, Buddy Murphy, to the most unstoppable stable on Raw. Rollins then continues to use CM Punk jargon as well as Nexus phrases like ‘You’re either with us or against us.’

Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe enter the arena to announce that Big Show will be back to handle him personally but they did not get rid of Owens and Joe. Owens orates that Rollins talks too much and wants to fight. As a heel should, Rollins wants to stall the fight.

Samoa Joe says that he sees the Monday Night Messiah but hears an ‘ass hat.’ Rollins sees that the numbers game is in their favor and welcomes Owens and Joe to come to the ring. However, Owens and Joe have help: Raw Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders!

We have a brawl in the ring! KO delivers a Stunner to Akam! Samoa Joe delivers an STJoe to Buddy Murphy! The heel stable escapes the ring as the new babyface faction takes over Raw in a heap.

Result: Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, and The Viking Raiders even the odds

Grade: 3.0/5.0 Stars

Analysis: Awesome way to start Raw! Finally, the Viking Raiders are no longer defeating jobbers and are finally in a significant, less boring role on Raw. Hopefully, AOP eventually get Raw Tag Team Championship opportunities against The Viking Raiders because of this recent formation. Seth Rollins, Buddy Murphy, and AOP are in a backstage interview with Charly Caruso are asked if they got caught off guard. Rollins evidently denies that and challenges Viking Raiders for the Raw Tag Team Championships alongside Buddy Murphy. Rey Mysterio makes his way to the ring as his United States Championship match with Andrade is NEXT!
