WWE Raw: Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns beaten by Elias and Jinder Mahal
Tuesday 5 June 2018 13:11, UK
Elias teamed up with Jinder Mahal to collect a huge win over Intercontinental champion Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns on this week's Raw.
Rollins had interrupted an Elias performance, only to see himself be subsequently interrupted by Jinder Mahal, who led a two-on-one attack on the champion until his Shield compatriot Reigns came to the rescue.
That led to Raw general manager immediately sanctioning a tag-team match between the two pairings, which Rollins almost had won but was distracted by Sunil Singh on the apron before he could complete a Stomp on Mahal.
Elias then caught Rollins with a DDT onto a steel chair and a Drift Away to record what is a huge win for the increasingly-popular superstar against a man who is arguably Raw's hottest current commodity.
Balor makes Money In The Bank statement
Finn Balor's victory over Kevin Owens may have come via a disqualification but it had plenty of symbolic connotations.
Owens took his constant corner attacks too far, leading to the referee to - perhaps controversially - award the match to Balor.

Incensed by that verdict, KO climbed the ladder and teased a frogsplash but twice decided against it, only for Balor to spring a surprise attack and a Coup de Grace from way up high.
Afterwards, he went back to the top of the ladder and grabbed the briefcase in an echo of what Samoa Joe did on SmackDown last week.
B-Team become title contenders
The B-Team earned a title shot at Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt after winning a battle royal which included Drew McIntyre & Dolph Ziggler, Breezango, The Ascension, The Revival, Titus O'Neil & Apollo Crews, and Heath Slater & Rhyno.
Their win was somewhat fortuitous as it came when Slater knocked Rhyno off the apron after picking up Bo Dallas for a slam but that did not concern him or Curtis Axel, who celebrated long and hard.
It was not confirmed when the B-Team will get their shot at the Raw tag team titles, with the June 17 pay-per-view Money In The Bank a possibility.
