WWE Raw Results (9/10) New Orleans, Louisiana

Welcome to Monday Night Raw from New Orleans, Louisiana and we begin with Michael Cole welcoming Renee Young to the commentary team and we kick things off with the Raw Tag Team Champions Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler making their way out to the ring accompanied by Braun Strowman

Dolph has the mic and says there's only one way to describe what happened to The Shield last week...."We beat them down", says Braun, "and then we feed off of their bloody carcasses"...."but don't just take our word for it", says McIntyre. "Take a look for yourself"

We then take a look at video from last week's Raw where The Shield got arrested at the beginning of the show only to return at the end of the show in a police cruiser where they were ultimately beaten down by a number of superstars including the champions, Braun, Jinder Mahal, Kevin Owens and The Ascension

"The only reason Roman Reigns still has the Universal Championship around his waist is because he's a coward. Roman has his hounds of justice but I have my dogs of war. The Shield have been running rampant for too long and i will destroy everything that gets in my path." Ziggler commends the superstars for standing up to The Shield.

McIntyre says they're going to continue that path of destruction when they destroy the B Team in the tag team title rematch. Strowman then says "that's nothing compared to what i'm going to do when I get these hands on Roman Reigns at Hell In A Cell".

The Shield come out and a brawl ensues and this time The Shield came prepared armed with axehandles. They then get a hold of Jinder Mahal who escapes to the outside and there's a stand off with The champions at the top of the stage and The Shield in the ring

Hunter says on the night after SummerSlam, he said that the era was back and that through mutual respect he would face the Undertaker again in Melbourne. The legends came out and gave their thoughts on the match. Then there were polls about who would win the match and most people picked the Undertaker. Hunter says that is to be expected. He is the Undertaker. Hunter says at this level, those predictions and opinions don't get to you, or they shouldn't. That was until Shawn Michaels gave his opinion. It bothered one man so much.

The Undertaker. It is almost laughable that the Undertaker was bothered by Shawn Michaels' opinion. Hunter says he does not get it. Hunter says the Undertaker was so rattled that he had to make an appearance in the ring. He accused Shawn of being bitter and made threats. Hunter says he watched it back and Hunter says it made him mad. It seemed like the Undertaker lost respect for Shawn and him. Hunter says it wasn't the case. He hadn't lost respect for Hunter or Shawn, he lost respect for himself. That was Taker's last epic moment of greatness and Taker blames them for their demise.

Hunter says he has to look no further than the fact that Taker is not here tonight. If you go back to those matches with the Undertaker at Wrestlemania, he was never quite the same. Things went downhill. The aura would go away. The streak would go away. The mystique would go away. All that is left is a reputation.

Hunter says Taker said one thing that was true. It is now personal. Hunter says that the last bit of respect he has for the Undertaker, he will put him down.

We take a look at what happened when The Shield confronted Braun and his friends.The 'police officers' are still outside the building to see if The Shield return to the arena.

Owens grabs a mic and says two weeks ago he walked away and that felt great but immediately the acting General Manager Baron Corbin called and begged him to reconsider and come back because unlike every one else Corbin cares and he recognizes that he is the true MVP of Monday Night Raw and he came back under one condition.

He is not responsible fro his actions and he will do whatever he wants because he's just doing his job. He can do whatever he wants and there's nothing anyone can do about it. But one person is to blame and that is Bobby Lashley because he is the reason Sami Zayn is injured and on the shelf instead of standing by Owens' side

Lashley is the reason he quit but also the reason he returned and he reminded everyone this is still the KEVIN OWENS SHOW and everyone can expect three things. Agony, Anarchy and Destruction and it's all Bobby Lashley's fault
