WWE Raw Results returned as Paul Heyman appeared backstage to invite us to join him on Smackdown when Jey Uso makes his historic choice between Jimmy and Reigns.
Heyman said he’s often tasked with unpleasant news, and said Jey will choose his brother Solo Sikoa instead of his twin.
THIS FRIDAY on #SmackDown
Jey @WWEUsos has an important decision to make, per @HeymanHustle. pic.twitter.com/bzOBpfQ7LB

Indus Sher (Veer, Sanga) w/Jinder Mahal vs. Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin
They destroyed Benjamin and Alexander off before the match started. It’d be nice if Benjamin and Alexander were allowed to be something besides jobbers anymore.
World Heavyweight Championship – Seth Rollins (c) vs. Damian Priest
Priest used his size and power advantage to back Rollins into a corner on their first lockup and then jawed at him.
Rollins grabbed him by the nose and pushed him back, then avoided Priest’s charge and caught him with knees in the ropes, then a running knee off the apron as we headed to commercial.
Rollins continued his mind games and ducked a clothesline that Priest took him to the floor with, then he drove Priest into the ring post.
Priest responded with an uppercut to catch Rollins in mid air, and stomped away on him before choking him out on the ropes.
Priest bounced him out of a corner and hit a superkick for a near pinfall, then he slapped on a rear chin lock.
With the #WorldTitle on the line, will this be @ArcherofInfamy's night on #WWERaw or can @WWERollins bounce back in this one? pic.twitter.com/9MFpZXnYq3

A back elbow led to another pin attempt, but Rollins wasted no time in kicking out of it.
Priest continued hammering away on him with knees and a heavy right before he stretched Rollins before clubbing him in the back again.
Rollins caught him with a step up kick to buy some time, and Rollins fired off a series of rights and chops before nailing Priest with a short clothesline, and then a combination of kicks and a right to chop Priest down.
He continued to press his advantage with a backbreaker and then Rollins headed to the top rope, but Priest rolled out of the way of Rollins’ frog splash.
So close
Priest caught him with a kick and splash, and then countered a Pedigree with a backdrop that Rollins rolled into a pin attempt.

Priest rolled to the floor and Rollins went for a dive, but Priest caught him and slammed him into the announce table as we headed to commercial again.
Rollins and Priest fought in the corner on the top rope, and Priest fought him off the first time, but Rollins caught him with a superplex, and a roll through into a Falcon Arrow for a near pinfall.
This time when Priest rolled to the floor, Rollins hit all three of his dives with the third one finally sending Priest over the announce desk.
Back in the ring, Rollins hit a superkick and a frog splash but Priest kicked out.
After hitting a headlock driver, Priest went for a South From Heaven, but Rollins slipped free and their fight went back to the top rope where Priest hit a hurricanrana for a near pinfall.
They took their fight to the floor where Rollins hit a barricade bomb and then caught Balor with a superkick when he ran in from the fans.
Priest met him in the right with a clothesline and a South From Heaven for a near pinfall but Priest hurt his left shoulder. When he saw Balor he asked why he’s there.
Priest tried a Razor’s Edge but his injured shoulder couldn’t support Rollins, and Rollins hit a superkick and Stomp for the win.
After the match, Balor confronted Rollins in the ring and Rollins held the belt in front of him and mockingly waved as the show went off the air.
This was a really good match and it looks like there’s going to be some dissension in the Judgement Day going forward.
