WWE Monday Night RAW results from 4/24/17

Here are the results from tonight’s (Mon. April 24, 2017) episode of WWE Monday Night RAW (courtesy of PWInsider):

This week’s show starts off with a recap of Braun Strowman’s night on last week’s Raw where he threw Kalisto away and then destroyed the ring and referee in the main event.

We are in Kansas City, Missouri and your announcers are Michael Cole, Booker T, and Corey Graves.
 

Chris Jericho makes his way to the ring.

Chris welcomes everyone to a monumental Highlight Reel because it will be the final Highlight Reel on Raw.  Chris says he will beat Kevin Owens on Sunday and become the United States Champion and then he will go to Smackdown.  Whether it is Smackdown, Raw, or Southpaw Regional Wrestling, the people have always been behind him.  You are his pals . . . his buddies.  You are the pals of Jericho, cheer him on man.

Chris says he needed a huge, charismatic guest and that would be him.  Chris says he will get his payback on Sunday against Kevin Owens because Kevin betrayed him at the Festival of Friendship and then beat him for the United States Title at Wrestlemania.  Now Kevin is on Smackdown and he says he is the Face of America.   Chris says that does not fit.  What about the hemorrhoid of America.  

Miz interrupts, after the second cue, and he is joined by his wife Maryse.

Miz says that Raw is no longer Jericho.  It hasn’t been since they arrived.  Miz says Monday Night Raw is all about the IT Couple.  

Chris says they better watch . . . IT couple.

Miz says that was adorable.  Everyone watching needs to know that the Highlight Reel has been cancelled.  It will be replaced with MizTV.  Miz tells the little people to change the scenery. 

Jericho does not initially move so his carpet can be removed.  

Miz asks if we are ready for MizTV to start, but before it can start Dean Ambrose’s music interrupts and he makes his way to the ring.

Dean tells Chris that Miz is a stupid idiot.  

Miz says Chris never said that, but Chris says he was thinking about it.

Dean says you cannot change talk shows.  Dean signals for something and the Ambrose Asylum is back and the potted plant is replaced with a gift box.

Dean tells Chris he will be rooting for him on Sunday, even if that means he has to go to Smackdown.  He says they have gone to war together and they have fought like cats and dogs, he is all about the healing power.  Dean mentions that Chris destroyed his potted plant but Dean reminds Chris about destroying the jacket.  Chris reminds Dean he still owes him $15,000.  Dean says he has a gift for Chris and it is a jacket with Christmas lights on it.  

Dean tells Chris to try it on, but Miz stops him.  

Miz says it looks hideous but Jericho puts it on.  Miz says that is a quality of an Intercontinental Champion who is a slacker and devalues the title.  Everyone should be thankful that he is on Raw.  They should be thankful that Miz is here to take care of the mediocrity that is Dean and Chris.  Miz says that people should be giving him gifts.

Dean says he has a gift for Miz and then Dean kicks Miz and hits a double underhook DDT.

Chris asks Maryse if she knows what happens when you are married to the Miz.  He asks if she knows what happens when you are married to a stupid idiot.   He tells Maryse that she made the list.
