Hello and welcome to WWE Raw Results!
This looks like it’s going to be an interesting night with plenty of gimmick matches, so let’s get to the action!
Battle Royal for Randy Orton’s spot
Adam Peace and Sonya Deville opened the show saying Randy Orton can’t compete, so there’s an over the top battle royal to determine who will take his spot in the triple threat match later tonight.
Riddle came up to them with a letter from Orton that bequeathed Riddle take his place in the triple threat match. Riddle obviously wrote it.

Riddle offered to compete on his behalf in the battle royal and the tripe threat match and if he wins Orton will be in the MITB match.
The match started as chaotic as expected and Shelton Benjamin started the eliminations by sending Drew Gulak over the top rope.
Benjamin was sent out next by Jinder Mahal, and was followed by Garza, Mansoor were eliminated by Ali.
Mahal sent R-Truth out, and Tozawa was next, and Gulak rolled him up on the floor to win the 24/7 Championship, and Truth hit Gulak with a forearm for the pin and win.
Tozawa hit Truth with a senton off the apron for the pin and Tozawa took off with the belt.
Omos came out and pulled Erik and Ivar over the top ropes from the floor. Omos then sent Erik into the barricade and Ivar into the rind side as we headed to commercial.
