WWE Raw Results returned as Seth Rollins came out and got things going with a new intensity and he talked about how Shinsuke Nakamura kept hitting him in the back and he didn’t know if he could keep getting up and fighting.
But the last time he checked he’s still the World Heavyweight Champion. Nakamura’s attack on him afterwards left him being pushed out of the building by Becky Lynch and it doesn’t sit well with him.
So he called Nakamura out, and Nakamura responded by coming out. He stopped partway down the ramp despite Rollins urging him on, and Rollins eventually offered him a World Heavyweight Championship rematch there and then.

Nakamura responded in Japanese, and when Rollins tried to get him to agree he said no.
Rollins refused to take no for an answer and went after Nakamura, and security came out to break them up. Nakamura took advantage of Rollins’ back being turned to kick him in the back and Ricochet came out to drive Nakamura away.
Backstage, Pearce and Rollins were in a shouting match and Pearce told him he’s running at a pace no champion ever has and he’s trying to help and Rollins told him he doesn’t work for him and walked off.
Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Ricochet
Nakamura ducked to the floor when the bell rang and Ricochet went after him, and once back in the ring Ricochet hit a dropkick and kept on Nakamura.
Nakamura caught Ricochet in the ropes and hit a series of kicks and a knee off the ropes.
Ricochet fought back and missed a splash and Nakamura caught him with a kick and Ricochet hit a Recoil for a near pinfall.

On the floor, Nakamura drove him spine first into the ring post and then the barricade, but Ricochet fought back and Nakamura nailed him with a chair for the disqualification.
He hit him a few more times and rolled him into the ring.
Nakamura put the chair around Ricochet’s neck and readied to his a kinsasha but Rollins ran out to save him. Rollins threw the security guards aside and hit a dive over the ropes.
Nakamura drove him into the ring steps and stomped away, but Ricochet chased him off with a steel chair.
Damian Priest watched it unfold from backstage and Ripley told him not yet for some odd reason. This would be the perfect time for him to cash it in.
