WWE RAW RESULTS – 4/11/16
We go live into the Staples Center to hear Shane McMahon’s music hit. The crowd erupts as he makes his way to the stage doing his Shane O’Mac shuffle. They show a tweet that states Shane McMahon is in control of RAW tonight due to overwhelming social media support. The crowd chants “Shane O’Mac.” Shane says it feels good to be out here. Shane is interrupted by another loud chant of “Shane O’Mac.” Shane says his father let him run Monday Night RAW for his own personal amusement, but he must be very amused because he’s back tonight. The credit goes out to the fans because they’re the reason he’s back. Shane thanks them, and they chant “Thank you” back at him. Shane says he wants to keep rolling with what he started last week. We’ll have new superstars, new opportunities, and fresh match-ups. Natalya has challenged Charlotte for the WWE Women’s Championship. That will happen here tonight. We’ll also start a tag team tournament with the winners facing The New Day. That will begin tonight. Congratulations go out to “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles last week because winning that fatal four-way means he’s taking on Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Reigns’ name gets massive boos. Shane says it’s an amazing opportunity, but one was squandered last week. Sami Zayn will get another opportunity tonight, as he’ll face AJ Styles. If Zayn wins, in three weeks time, it will be Sami Zayn versus AJ Styles versus Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a triple threat match-up! A light “Holy shit” chant breaks out before a “YES” chant breaks out.

Roman Reigns’ music hits, and the crowd loudly boos the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion as he makes his way to the ring.The League of Nations interrupts him. Sheamus says he seems pretty confident, which is a good thing. How confident would he be if he had to face one of them at WWE Payback? Reigns asks if they’re supposed to make him nervous. Sheamus says he should be. Last week, they eliminated the weakest link in their chain by taking out King Barrett. The League of Nations is stronger than ever. Neither of them are happy about being left out of the match last week. Rusev says Reigns thinks he’s THE guy, but he’s a man. Rusev is bigger, stronger, and better looking than Reigns. Reigns just laughs. Rusev says he should be the face of the WWE. Reigns says Rusev just proved he’s the ass of the WWE. Sheamus holds Rusev back. Alberto Del Rio says any of them could have won the match last week and any of them could kick Reigns ass for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Reigns says he agrees. They should come down and get all their asses whooped.
The League of Nations charge down to the ring and start brawling with Reigns. The Wyatt Family’s video flashes on the screen and the lights go out. When they come back on, The Wyatt Family is in the ring. They brawl with the League of Nations and clear them from the ring. They then start approaching Roman Reigns. Shane McMahon says he never thought he’d see Reigns fighting alongside Wyatt. Shane says he’d like to see more of that. Tonight, two members of the League of Nations will face the tag team of Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt in tonight’s main event.

They hit Jimmy with the Magic Killer, a double-team neckbreaker. They go outside. Anderson clotheslines Jey at ringside before sending him into the barricade. Gallows then sends Jey into the steel steps. Referees run down and admonish them. Anderson and Gallows then leave through the crowd to a huge ovation from the crowd!
AJ Styles vs. Sami Zayn
Winner by Pinfall: AJ Styles
Chris Jericho makes his entrance for another edition of The Highlight Reel. Jericho tells the crowd to shut their damn mouths and listen to what he has to say. Jericho says tonight is a monumental night. It’s the biggest Highlight Reel of all time because his guest is the biggest star in the history of WWE. He’s a multiple-time world champion, main evented WrestleMania’s, and is a future Hall of Famer. His guest… is Chris Jericho.
Dean Ambrose’s music hits, and he comes out holding a flowerpot and a cardboard poster. The crowd gives him a nice hand. Jericho asks what the hell he’s doing out here. This is his show. Ambrose says it’s his show now. Jericho says this is The Highlight Reel. Jericho tells him to not touch his potted plant. Ambrose asks if he got the memo from Shane McMahon. Ambrose hands him a piece of paper. Jericho says this is a California speeding ticket. Ambrose says he needs that and hands him another piece of paper. Jericho holds it up, and a hole is burned in the middle of it. Jericho reads that the memo says The Highlight Reel has been canceled and will be replaced by the Ambrose Asylum. Ambrose tapes the poster to the Jeritron and puts a tie on.
Ambrose then welcomes the crowd to the Ambrose Asylum. Ambrose’s first guest is Chris Jericho. Ambrose tells the crowd not to boo his guests. The whole world wants to know what’s up with that scarf. Jericho says this scarf cost $750. Secondly, he knows what Ambrose is trying to do. Ambrose is interrupting him because he interrupted him on Smackdown. Jericho doesn’t have to play by the rules. He’s reached legendary status in WWE. Jericho can do whatever he wants. If Ambrose were smart, he’d keep his nose clean or he’ll bury him. Jericho tells him to look at him when he’s talking to him. Jericho tells him to do the first smart thing in his career and take his stupid ass out of his ring right now. Ambrose asks if he’s really not going to tell them about the scarf. Jericho slaps the microphone out of his hand. Ambrose then kicks him and connects with Dirty Deeds! Ambrose’s music plays as he thanks the people for coming.
