WWE RAW RESULTS (1/20/2020)
Opening
Monday Night Massiah Seth Rollins music sounds as he stands at the ramp on the stage of the Wichita, KS arena. They make their way down the ramp and enter the ring where Rollins picks up the mic. “Now wait a minute, I want you guys to know something. I want you to know that every single one of you out there have played a part in making me the man that I am today. Without you, there is no Monday Night Massiah. So from the bottom of my heart, I want to say, thank you.” The crowd is a mix of boos and clapping.
Rollins continues, “Thank you for believing in me, thank you for the support, the faith you have placed in me to lead WWE Raw, for that I am forever in your debt. There’s someone I need to thank specifically. Last week, this man opened his eyes, last week this man embraced his fate.” as Rollins puts his arm around as he points to the jumbotron showing last week’s RAW where the first Fist Fight took place and Rollins asked Buddy Murphy for help during the match. We re-enter the arena where Rollins welcomes the newest member of the Monday Night Messiah, Buddy Murphy. Rollins continues saying the future is inevitable before adding, “The battle lines are drawn, what kind of people do you want to be? Because either you’re with us, or you’re against us. And for those that stand in opposition to us, I…”
Rollins is interrupted by Kevin Owens music sounding over the speakers as Owens stands at the top of the ramp, Samoa Joe’s music sounds next as Samoa Joe stands next to Owens. Owens says he can understand them coming out to brag about taking out the Big Show, but they didn’t take out Owens and Samoa Joe. “I say, less talking, more fighting” as he drops the mic. Rollins responds, “Kevin, you wanna fight, we’ll fight. But not right now, we will find the proper time, and the proper place.” Samoa Joe interrupts saying he sees nothing more than an ass-hat in the ring as Rollins says, “If the two of you want to fight the four of us, there’s nothing more for me to say than come on down and dance with destiny.”
Samoa Joe responds, “We said we were ready for a fight, but we didn’t say we were the only ones. Come on out boys!” The RAW tag-team champions Erik and Ivar come running down the ramp with Samoa Joe and Owens. The Monday Night Messiah’s are attacked and exit the ring.
