WWE RAW REPORT: UNDERTAKER HAS A FRIEND COMING WITH HIM TO AUSTRALIA, TWO TITLE MATCHES, DREW VERSUS DEAN, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2018-09-17 23:01:00

We are back and Seth Rollins arrives at the building and he is asked about having to defend the Intercontinental Title against Dolph Ziggler.  

Seth says Baron may be the acting General Manager, but someone really needs to remind Baron Corbin that this is still Monday Night Rollins.

The gong sounds, the lights go blue, and the Undertaker makes his way to the ring.

Undertaker says they say delusion is the final recourse for the damned.  No man can spin a web of lies like a man that has a broken soul.  Undertaker says he has never seen anyone with a more broken soul than Triple H.  Last week, Triple H came out here in this ring and he told you that he had lost all his self respect.  He says delusion will be his downfall.  There was a time with Triple H when he was wicked, savage, a warrior.  These days, he tends to play a more corporate game.

His battlefield is the board room.  His life is so filled with lies that he can no longer decipher.  He cannot see the fear in his own friend's eyes.  He cannot see his own demise.  Taker says he puts no stock in what any man says.  He knows that when he faces Triple H for the last night, the result will be just like the first time.  He will put Hunter six feet under . . . game over.

Triple H is going to do everything he can do to outrace the reaper.  He will move heaven and earth.  He will enlist his best friend, Shawn Michaels.  Let him have his delusion.  Let him have his best friend Shawn Michaels.  Right there is where the devil is in the details.  Shawn Michaels will not go all the way to Australia to sit in the audience to watch this fight.  He will be standing in Triple H's corner.  Taker says he is okay with that.  Standing in his corner will be his brother . . . Kane.

Everyone knows that he took Shawn Michaels' career and he is going to do the same to Triple H's career.  It seems that he deserves far worse.  Not only is he going to take HHH's career, he will take his soul and he will put him down.  At Super Show Down, with his Brother of Destruction watching his back, Triple H will REST . . . IN . . . PEACE.

We have a video package for last night's Universal Title Match and then we are reminded that it will be a Triple Threat Match for the title in Saudi Arabia.

Dolph tells Seth if he wants to back out he can.  Seth says that he will not back out and he is ready for a fight.

Match Number Five:  Seth Rollins versus Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship

Ziggler with a kick and side head lock.  Rollins with a clothesline.  Rollins with an Irish whop and Ziggler shows the damage done to his back.  Rollins shows the pain as well as he is Irish whipped into the turnbuckles.  Rollins comes off the turnbuckles and feels the pain in his back.  Ziggler goes to the floor and Rollins chases gingerly after him.  Ziggler drops Rollins on the top rope on the apron.  Ziggler knocks Rollins off the apron and into the ringside barrier as we go to commercial.

We are back and Ziggler pie faces Rollins and tells him to do something.  Rollins with punches followed by an uppercut and running back elbows.  Ziggler with an Irish whip but Rollins gets his feet up and hits a blockbuster but he feels the damage to his back.  Rollins with a clothesline into the corner but he runs into a boot from Ziggler.  Rollins goes for slingblade but Ziggler with a sleeper and he gets on Rollins' back.  

Rollins escapes and he goes for a belly-to-back suplex but Ziggler lands on his feet.  Rollins holds on to the ropes on a Zig Zag attempt.  Rollins with a rip cord knee after blocking a super kick.  Rollins goes up top but Ziggler crotches Rollins.  Ziggler with a punch and he goes up top for a superplex but Rollins escapes and Ziggler is crotched.  Rollins goes for a reverse superplex but Ziggler with punches to knock Rollins to the mat.   Rollins leaps to the turnbuckles for a superplex into a Falcon Arrow but Ziggler counters the Falcon Arrow into a rollup for a near fall.

Rollins with Black Out for the three count.

Winner:  Seth Rollins (retains Championship)

Roman Reigns is asked about having to defend his title against Baron Corbin and how he is the underdog tonight.  Roman says he is not the underdog tonight.  Against Brock Lesnar or Braun Strowman, he might be an underdog.  Tonight, he will not be the underdog, he will be the Big Dog and he will still be the Universal Champion.
