WWE RAW Results 6/6

WWE RAW is live from The Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.

The show kicks off with Dean Ambrose on his way to the ring. Cesaro, Alberto Del Rio, Chris Jericho, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are already standing on ladders that have been set up in the ring. Lillian Garcia begins to introduce them but Kevin Owens interrupts her and says they don't need introductions, they're already stars - apart from Sami Zayn.

Owens and Jericho get into a war of words but Ambrose stops them and asks when they can get down to fighting. All 6 men have mic time and stake their claim to say why they are going to be the next MITB holder.

They eventually all start brawling before the music of Teddy Long hits! He says he is back to take the longest wrestling show of all time back but gets his words messed up. Y2J calls him a stupid idiot. He says if he was in charge he would make a triple threat match, a no DQ match and a fatal 4 way match. Everyone looks confused.

Stephanie McMahon comes out and tells Teddy what he just said made no sense. Teddy says he wants to run Smackdown but Stephanie says no decision will be made tonight. Teddy is sent to the back by Stephanie.

She then announces that Sami Zayn will face Del Rio tonight, Kevin Owens vs Dean Ambrose too and also Cesaro vs Jericho which will take place right now.

Cena's music hits to kick off the second hour as we look back at last weeks attack from The Club. Cena says the meeting of Styles and himself was very special. It was so because the whole arena was chanting 'Let's go Cena...AJ Styles'. Cena says the energy created last week could only be compared to that created by Cena and The Rock. Cena wants to know why AJ took the easy way out, and so invites AJ out to the ring. Cena also used the words 'Bullet Club'. 

He comes to the ring, along with Gallows and Anderson. AJ stands at the top of the ramp. AJ says he took the easy way out because he had a plan - which was exactly the one he did last week and it worked to perfection. Cena insulted AJ last week. He insults him everytime the bell rings. Even on Cena's best day, he can't beat AJ - which AJ does whilst waving his hand over his face. AJ would run rings around Cena.

Cena is disapointed with what AJ had to say as he has had 15 years to come up with insults but says the same thing that everyone else does. Cena says that AJ entered the Royal Rumble and done nothing before failing twice at Reigns. He failed twice at Reigns, and now thinks he can take on Cena?

AJ says Cena buries people like him. Gallows and Anderson are his insurance to make sure his head stays above ground. The Club approach and surround the ring before stepping up on to the ring.

Just as they enter the ring, The New Day rush down and The Club back off.
