Bengaluru, June 2: The Monday Night Messiah was assigned to pull off double duties last night on WWE Raw as he hosted Rey Mysterio’s retirement ceremony and then also competed in a singles contest against Aleister Black.
Raw also hosted a Champion vs Champion contest on the card alongside a United States Championship match. Check out the results from the show that was hosted by the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
Seth Rollins vs Aleister Black opened Raw where Black prevailed in the opening exchanges. Rollins, however, ordered Murphy and Theory to distract Black to earn the upper hand. But Humberto Carrillo arrived with a steel chair in hand to fend them off.
This allowed Black to evade a Springboard off the top rope and roll-up Rollins for a win. An upset Rollins along with his disciples then delivered a post-match attack on Carrillo and Black.

Later, Owens downed him by hitting a Superkick. At that point, Angel Garza and Andrade intervened during the match and beat down the two participants of the match to disqualify the match.
