WWE Monday Night Raw continues with a six man tag team match, R-Truth, Cedric Alexander and Ricochet taking on MVP and his boys, Shane Thorne and Brendan Vink.
R-Truth, Cedric Alexander & Ricochet vs. MVP, Shane Thorne & Brendan Vink
R-Truth with a splits to mock Shane Thorne. Thorne gets pulled into doing the same and the splits are painful for him. Now Truth is back in Pretty Ricky mode after he tags in Ricochet. Ricochet controls for a bit, as does Cedric until Vink blind tags himself in and blindsides him. Snapmare, chinlock cinched in. Thorne tags in and continues working him over, neck crank, snapmare after he fights up. Tag back to Vink. Pretty Ricky wants the tag real bad. Cedric with an enziguri, MVP and R-Truth tag in and of course Truth is a house of fire, Corkscrew Kick nailed but Thorne breaks up the pin. Ricochet sends him out of the ring. Cedric leaps at Vink outside but gets caught, Ricochet with a Triangle Moonsault takes out everybody. Back in the ring, MVP punches Truth in the mouth and the ref pulls out his Pretty Ricky mouthguard. MVP is distracted by this somehow and Truth hits the Lie Detector and pins him.
Winners: R-Truth, Cedric Alexander & Ricochet
Truth is celebrating but Bobby Lashley rushes out there and spears him hard! MVP and Lashley gang up on Truth and then leave together. Sorta looks like the Beatdown Clan reunion dream is coming true indeed, with Vink and Thorne filling out the stable. It’s certainly not a group I’d have guessed I’d see a month or so ago but I’m not against it.
Backstage, Jinder Mahal is welcomed back to Monday Night Raw. I swear Jinder looked smaller on his initial return but he’s as jacked as ever here. He says he’s honored, it’s been a long ten months after his knee surgery. And his old pal Drew McIntyre is the new WWE Champion. He was truly elated to see this but as a former WWE Champion he deserves to be lauded and respected just like Drew. Says he’s trying a new path, he wants to redeem himself, he made some mistakes in the past but he’s turned over a new leaf. Claims his journey back to the top will be a hero’s journey. This actually sounds kind of fun.
