WWE Raw Results returned as Ziggler tried to stay away from Reed and hit a dropkick and splash, but Reed nailed him with a shoulder and Reed went to work with a headbutt and body slam.
A running shoulder led to a pin attempt, and then he locked in a rear chin lock Ziggler tried to break with a jawbreaker, and then a second one. Ziggler spiked Reed with a DDT for a pin attempt, and then it a Zigzag for another pin attempt, but Reed kicked out.
