Bengaluru, January 15: With less than two weeks left for Royal Rumble, WWE Monday Night Raw hosted at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee last night was hyped up with a triple threat match. We also received a new number one contender for the Universal Championship. Plus, the women's champion teamed up with her Royal Rumble challenger in a tag team match.

Here are the full results from Raw in Tennessee:

Vince McMahon entered the arena in his limo to kick off the show as Braun Strowman had a promo about his championship match against Brock Lesnar inside the ring. Baron Corbin came out to take a swipe at the Monster Among Men and ran backstage to hide inside the Limo. Strowman chased him and started destroying the vehicle. Mr.McMahon seemed furious about this and cancelled the title match at Royal Rumble. Strowman was escorted out of the building to end the segment.

Ronda Rousey and Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax and Tamina was the opening contest of Raw. Banks dominated the opening moments of the match until Jax took control with a slam. Rousey entered the contest as we headed to a break. Banks hit a Russian Leg Sweep followed by the Bank Statement on Tamina for the win. She blasted Ronda Rousey with verbal jabs once the match was over.



The verbal encounter continued on Raw as we headed to backstage. Natalya and Bayley comforted Rousey and Banks to calm the tensions between the pair. But The Riott Squad interfered to set up a six-woman tag match. Nikki Cross joined Natalya and Bayley for the contest against Riott Squad. Cross hit a modified neckbreaker allowing Bayley to connect with the elbow for the win.

Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor and Baron Corbin came out next with the same pledge. A brawl broke out after which McIntyre stood tall with a Claymore Kick on Cena. McMahon confirmed a fatal-4-way among these four to decide the next opponent for Brock Lesnar.



Later, Jinder Mahal convinced McMahon why he deserves a title shot against Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble. So The Boss announced a one-on-one match against Finn Balor. If Mahal can win he will replace Balor in the Fatal-4-way contender's match. Samir Singh distracted Balor during the entrance which allowed Mahal to deliver a pre-match attack. But Balor had no problems to hit a Sling Blade followed by the Coup De Grace for the win.
