ANNOUNCERS - JOHN "BRADSHAW" LAYFIELD, MICHAEL COLE & BOOKER T

John Cena opens Monday Night Raw to talk about the authority and mentioned that Triple H will not be remembered as the 13-time world champ but he will remembered with distain. To the approval of the New Orleans fans, Cena wants Ziggler, Rowan and Ryback reinstated and sends a message to the entire WWE Universe to get on social media saying that the authority sucks. Cena says that he has a plan B, that being when he wins the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble then he will take the title home until all 3 men have been reinstated. The authority come down and mock Cena and his plan of "taking his ball and going home", they told Cena that they knew the consequences from Survivor Series but they will give Cena an opportunity to be the hero again by winning his match tonight to get all 3 men reinstated and the match is a lumberjack match against Seth Rollins and starts right now.

NEXT WEEK - It will be Raw Reunion with Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Scott Hall + others.

Big Show talks about his superiority to the boring chant from the New Orleans crowd before talking about competition and how he doesn't think that Roman Reigns is competition. Show calls Reigns a loser and those who are fans of him are losers by proxy, Reigns then made his way through the crowd and in to the ring as Show leaves and walks up the ramp. Reigns tells Show the story of Jack and the beanstalk, but in this story it was Reigns who kicked the teeth of the giant and the giant walked away cowardly proving that he is the only loser.

3# Roman Reigns bt. Luke Harper - **1/2
(Post-match, Show assaults Reigns and finishes it with a KO Punch.)

4# Alicia Fox bt. Naomi - DUD
(Due to pre-match stipulations, Naomi had to wrestle this match with one-arm tied behind her back.)

Daniel Bryan comes to the ring and reminisces about the last time he was in New Orleans and won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Bryan then declares his intentions of winning the Royal Rumble and going to Wrestlemania before Stephanie McMahon interrupted, Stephanie showed Bryan what she remembered of Bryan's 2014 and that was Kane tombstoning him on the steel stairs and the announce table. Steph then questioned whether Bryan believes in himself, Bryan replied with an emphatic 'Yes' before saying that he and the WWE Universe won't stop fighting until they prove the authority wrong. Stephanie then made Daniel Bryan vs. Kane on Smackdown as it moves to Thursday nights, Bryan soon goes after Kane but Kane assaults Bryan and attempts to tombstone him on the steel steps but Bryan sent him face first in to the steps and unloads on him before having to be separated.

BACKSTAGE – Dean Ambrose tricked his psychiatrist in to signing a document before berating his psychiatrist who turned out to be the one who needed medical attention. Regardless, Ambrose was given the all clear and will be in the royal rumble match.

Rusev and Lana are in the ring, Lana said that Rusev was supposed to face Ryback tonight before thanking the authority and then thanked Cena for failing to get their jobs back. Lana mocked Ryback further before Rusev said that Ryback deserved to be fired and didn’t deserve to face him, just like the Americans don’t deserve him as their United States Champion. Rusev said he was going to throw Ryback and the other 28 men over the top rope at the Royal Rumble. Dean Ambrose came down and wasted little time in going after Rusev and sent him flying though the ropes. During the commercial, Lilian Garcia announced that as per the authority’s orders then Rusev will face Ambrose.

Bryan talked about his history with Kane and said that he is ready despite what any of the doctors say, Bryan said he will prove he is ready by beating Kane tonight, winning the Royal Rumble and then winning at Wrestlemania. Triple H, Kane, Big Show and Seth Rollins alongside J&J Security made their way to the ring for the match.

Paul Heyman says that he is here tonight as a scared man because Lesnar is pissed off and he now has a purpose to get his hands on Seth Rollins and hitting the F5 to the "future". Seth Rollins interrupts along with J&J Security who says that he is not afraid of Brock Lesnar and wants Lesnar tonight for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Heyman pointed out that Lesnar isn't here, Rollins replied by saying he will curb stomp Heyman instead as it will take away Lesnars greatest asset and he will be fighting brawn and no brains at the Royal Rumble. A heated Seth Rollins said that Cena isn't a threat and he has already curb stomped Lesnar twice and will make it a third time in 2 weeks. Heyman responded by hypothetically questioning what if the authority lost power and explains how he has gained power and how Lesnar can control the title by defending it or protecting the new champ with Heyman's power. This got Heyman out of dodge from being curb stomped as he left the ring.

John Cena came to the stage and said at Fast Lane, this “old” man will kick Rusev’s ass.

John Cena opens up Monday night raw from a sold-out Amway Center and sends a message to Rusev of "no more". Cena says he will beat and take the fight to Rusev this Sunday and win the United States title, Rusev and Lana come to the stage to tell Cena that he won't come back after the beating this sunday and he will destroy Cena. Things soon got heated between both men and Cena went to Ruse and took him down before throwing him face first in to the staging wall twice and knocked him out.

Before Seth Rollins was set to do battle with Dolph Ziggler, he grabbed the microphone and talked about how he should be in the main event of Wrestlemania but has to deal with those beneath him, referring to Ryback, Erick Rowan and Dolph Ziggler. An ever confident Ziggler came down talking about his superiority before saying that he will take out Rollins.

5# Dolph Ziggler bt. Seth Rollins Via DQ - **1/2
(J&J Security interfered in the match to cause the DQ, post-match, Erick Rowan & Ryback made he save.)

Triple H comes to the ring to address the situation with Sting by saying that he isn’t afraid of Sting and at Fast Lane it will be WCW standing in the ring with WWE as Sting goes face-to-face with Triple H. Ric Flair soon interrupted the C.O.O to tell him not to take Sting lightly or put himself in a position where he could fail. The 13-time world champion said that if Sting had come to the WWE when WCW went out of business, he would of made it his personal goal as Sting’s reputation is based on Ric Flair’s legacy and that pisses him off. Flair wants Triple H to be the game and explains that now he isn’t a full time wrestler, not to let Sting sneak up on him and for him not to see Triple H sat on his ass again. An irated Triple H pushed Flair to the ground and says that after Fast Lane, Sting will never show his face here again.

It was set to be Darren Young and an unnamed partner take on the Ascension but the match never started as the Ascension beat them down, this was until Titus O’Neil made the save and alongside his former tag team partner took out the Ascension.

6# Bad News Barrett bt. Damien Mizdow in a non-title match – 1/2*
(Once again, Miz was sat at ringside during the match and continued to distract his “P.A” by ringing his bell when he needed his shoe shined and once again distracted him which led to Barrett hitting the “Bull Hammer”. Post-match, Dean Ambrose went after Barrett and tied his hands to the ring post with a “Zip Tie” before forcing him to sign a contract for an Intercontinental Championship match this Sunday at Fast Lane.)

Another video from Bray Wyatt and he is hammering a nail whilst saying the answer is him, he said there is nowhere else to go and “find me” before I “find you”.

7# Naomi & Jimmy Uso bt. Natalya & Tyson Kidd in a “Mixed” tag team match - *1/2

This Thursday Night on Smackdown in Ft. Lauderdale there will be a rematch between Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins with J&J Security barred from ringside

8# Big Show bt. Daniel Bryan Via DQ - **1/4
(As Bryan did through the Reigns/Kane match, Reigns spent a lot of the match attempting to distract Bryan by signing autographs at ringside, taking selfies and also handing out free merchandise. Later in the match, Show threw Bryan in to Reigns which caused a bit of tension between the two men who will be battling it out to go to Wrestlemania this Sunday. Show went to spear Bryan but Bryan side-stepped as the world’s largest athlete speared Reigns instead. Bryan was on top in the match when Reigns came in to the ring and hit the “superman punch” on Show causing the DQ. Post-match, Bryan dropkicked Reigns from the top rope before Reigns sent Bryan flying out of the ring. Bryan soon got back in and the brawl was on between both before an attempt at being separated, both men shook hands before the brawl continued around the arena.)
