WWE Raw results: John Cena to meet Seth Rollins in Tables Match

John Cena will suffer a double whammy if he loses to Seth Rollins in a Tables Match at TLC.

Not only will The Cenation Leader taste defeat against one of his staunchest enemies but he will also have to surrender his title shot against WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar.

WWE: Late Night - Raw

That was decreed by the much-hated Anonymous General Manager, who returned to Raw on Monday night, three years after last governing the red brand via his laptop computer.

The unknown match maker sanctioned Cena and Rollins’ bout at the TLC event on December 14 after witnessing the two bicker during the opening stages of Raw in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Rollins wanted Cena to use the influence handed to him by Vince McMahon to bring back The Authority, who were removed from power after their squad lost to Cena’s at Survivor Series.

The Chain Gang Soldier, however, was more interested in mocking The Architect for wearing latex ring gear – and that’s where The Anonymous General Manager chimed in.

Raw’s ruler announced mid-December’s Tables bout and then – after Cena, Ryback and Dolph Ziggler brawled with Rollins, Kane, Luke Harper, Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble, and Cena was sent careering through a table – a six-man tag-team match for later in the night.

Cena gathered his bearings to help Ryback and Ziggler conquer Rollins, Kane and Ryback – Ziggler getting the pinfall on Harper following a sunset flip – but the fan favourites had Erick Rowan to thank for exiting Oklahoma without a vicious beating.

Big Show joined forces with the former Authority allies after the contest, but before they could maul Cena and co, Rowan – who we earlier learnt has an IQ of 143, is a classically-trained guitarist and can make pretty decent wine – arrived wielding the steel steps.

The ex-Wyatt Family charge clocked Rollins and Kane with the metal before finally doing the same to Big Show, the man who had pummelled him with the steps in a previous portion of the show.

Serious

Elsewhere, The Usos became No 1 Contenders to The Miz and Damien Mizdow’s WWE Tag Team Titles after winning a tag-team turmoil match that also featured Kofi Kingston and Big E of The New Day, Gold and Stardust, Tyson Kidd and Cesaro, and Adam Rose and The Bunny.

The Usos showed their athletic ability to win that tussle but one of the twins, Jimmy, showed his serious side following the match after The Miz promised to put the Samoan-American’s wife, Naomi, in touch with a producer having seen her debut music video.

Jimmy Uso misconstrued The Awesome One’s offer as flirting and in the aftermath of Mizdow’s singles success over Los Matadores grappler Fernando, cracked The Miz flush in the face.

Naomi, meanwhile, won a vote on the WWE App to be named AJ Lee’s partner for her tag scrap with The Bella Twins and it proved to be a shrewd choice, with the former Orlando Magic cheerleader taking out Brie and leaving Lee free to submit Nikki to The Black Widow.

Plus, Oklahoma native Jack Swagger was roared on by his home fans as he dished out a walloping to Rusev as punishment for The Super Athlete battering his manager, Zeb Colter, backstage.

Rusev’s actions caused Swagger to tend to his injured friend and subsequently lose his scheduled clash with Fandango via forfeit, but as The Bulgarian Brute crowed about his assault on The Real American’s bearded mouthpiece, Swagger hurled Rusev into the barricade several times over.

Finally, Bray Wyatt scurried away from Dean Ambrose after he had knocked off R-Truth but while The Eater of Worlds suffered no harm from The Lunatic Fringe, his beloved rocking chair was not so lucky, smashed to smithereens by Wyatt’s TLC adversary.
