WWE RAW Results – 9/5/16
WWE Universal Champion, Kevin Owens, makes his way to the ring to a big reaction. Owens has his hair neatly cropped and is wearing a suit while holding the belt. Owens gets in the ring and blows off a Mick Foley handshake before posing on the turnbuckle with the belt. Seth Rollins’ music hits, and he storms down to the ring to a nice reception from the crowd. Rollins gets right in Owens’ face. Owens says that’s a great story, but where was this passion these past few months? Ever since he came back from the injury, it seems The Architect has been designing blueprints for total failure. Rollins punches Owens down and knocks him out of the ring. Stephanie screams at him to stop, and he punches Owens off the apron. Stephanie says Rollins is indefinitely suspended. Rollins screams that she can’t do that, but she says she just did. Foley says, “No, he’s not!” A “Foley” chant fires up. Foley says she’s acting as if this is personal, but he knows it’s not. This is Monday Night RAW. They don’t hand out suspensions when someone has been wrong and let their temper flare. They hand out rematches. When she made him the General Manager of RAW, it was agreed that he would make the matches. Foley asks her to respect that. Foley says he has no love loss for Rollins, but he won’t deny the talent that he is. They were amazed at the match last week. He’s not putting that type of talent on the shelf. Rollins will get his rematch and face Kevin Owens for the WWE Universal Championship at Clash of the Champions! The crowd boos the fact that it’s not happening tonight. Foley’s music plays, and Rollins walks off looking pleased.

A “Sasha” chant fires up. Sasha says there is a saying: Every journey has an end and every story has a final chapter. For years and years, the WWE Universe was searching for a revolution. Before there was a Facebook and a Twitter, before there was a thing for a no talent chick to post on Instagram, there was a revolution with women. Women like Mae Young and Fabulous Moolah, Alundra Blayze and Luna Vachon, Trish and Lita that broke the mold and laid the foundation. These women wrote the first pages of a revolution of change, which became reality. July 13, 2015 was the day Stephanie McMahon introduced the next wave of women into the WWE. No more bra and panties matches or stupid butterfly title. They did it.Dana Brooke’s music hits. Dana says the only champion the WWE Universe deserves is Charlotte. She made a promise she’s going to keep. Dana has some bad news for Sasha. She’s going to use Sasha and her broken body to finish what Charlotte started at SummerSlam. Sasha’s journey ends on her terms. Dana gets in the ring. Sasha drops her with the Bank Statement and makes her tap out. Sasha says, “Actually, Miss Piggy, the bad news wasn’t for you. It was for Charlotte. Let her know at Clash of the Champions that title is coming back to me.” Sasha slams the microphone down on Dana and storms off.
