MONDAY NIGHT RAW - LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS - JANUARY 16, 2017

Raw opens with Martin Luther King's 'I Have A Dream' speech

Welcome to Monday Night Raw and we are live from the Verizon Centre in Little Rock, Arkansas and we kick things off with former US Champion Roman Reigns making his way out to the ring. Reigns says as a former member of The Shield he can't complain about losing a fight because when The Shield debuted they kicked down the doors.

Last week he lost the US Championship and he's not complaining but who will be complaining will be Kevin Owens when he loses his Universal Championship because he won't have Chris Jericho to help him.

And at Royal Rumble he will be Universal Champion and head down the road to the main event of Wrestlemania for the third time. Paul Heyman comes out and says there is a storm and that storm is his client Brock Lesnar who is here tonight

The crowd starts a 'Goldberg' chant. Heyman informs the WWE Universe that Goldberg is not here however he is which enables him to deliver the Royal Rumble spoiler. Eat. Sleep. Eliminate. Repeat. Reigns says Lesnar must be either sleeping or eating because he's not out in the ring with Heyman

Jeric-Owens come out and Owens says Reigns is out here making his little Wrestlemania plans while jericho and he are US and Universal Champion. Jericho says it's simple math. 1) Owens remains Universal Champion 2) Jericho wins the Rumble and 3) At Wrestlemania it will be best friends Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens and at the end they will still be best friends and United States Universal Champion

Seth Rollins is out next and says they can't have a conversation about Wrestlemania without Seth Rollins and since he missed last year there's no better way to get back in the picture by winning the Royal Rumble.

Braun Strowman comes out to the ring and stares down Roman Reigns. And finally, the storm itself, Paul Heyman's client Brock Lesnar makes his appearance.

Sami Zayn out of nowhere attacks Strowman and a brawl breaks out as everyone takes out Strowman. Lesnar then clears the ring standing face to face with Sami Zayn and Lesnar delivers a suplex. Lesnar begging Strowman to get back in the ring and Strowman climbs on the apron but thinks twice. Reigns back in with a Superman Punch to Lesnar, Jericho and Owens. Lesnar comes back and delivers an F5 to Reigns
