May 16, 2017 at 3:47 PM
Last night’s WWE Raw was an action packed one in terms of new announcements and matches, as well. A fatal-5-way contest was announced for the Extreme Rules PPV. Also, we have seen three big matches between The Miz & Dean Ambrose, Finn Balor vs. Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins vs. Bray Wyatt.
The last one was the main event of the night which was first-time ever to take place on WWE TV. The match got disqualified after Samoa Joe interfered and attacked Rollins. Bray Wyatt closed WWE Raw by delivering two Sister Abigail on both Rollins and Joe.
After the show went off the air, Seth Rollins stood inside the ring to cut an emotional promo to the WWE Universe. He thanked all the fans for staying by his side when it was the toughest time. Last year, on this month, he returned from a career-threatening ankle injury.

The comeback happened at the same venue where last night’s WWE Raw took place. The fans were on their feet at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. At that night, he delivered a Pedigree to Roman Reigns making a bold statement to the fans.
Rollins came up with the topic that all the fans supported him on his returning night even if he was acting as a heel, back then. He might not be ready to appreciate what the fans thought, last year, but he is ready now. So, he ended the segment once again declaring his heartfelt gratitude for the fans.

Also, after WWE Raw, Finn Balor commented on whether he blamed Seth Rollins for his shoulder injury back at Summerslam. On that night, Rollins threw him to the ringside causing him a shoulder dislocation. It sidelined him from action for more than six months.
