WWE: Undertaker storms Reigns clash with Braun Strowman on Monday Night Raw
Tuesday 21 March 2017 12:14, UK
It was quite the night on Raw as The Undertaker and Roman Reigns came head to head, while Stephanie McMahon had strong words for Mick Foley.
Reigns was in action against Braun Strowman in Monday's headline action, the Big Dog keeping himself tuned up for Wrestlemania in just a couple of weeks when he goes toe-to-toe with the Undertaker.
But Reigns has current business to attend to, his victory over The Monster Among Men at WWE Fastlane has set the pair on a collision course and there was more drama on Raw with potential Mania repercussions.
After a see-saw battle, Reigns looked to be in the ascendancy and as he called for the Spear, the arena went wild and was plunged into darkness with the Undertaker's gong striking up.
With the lights back on, the Undertaker appeared in the ring and handed out the chokeslam treatment to Strowman but before the Taker could turn his attention to his Mania foe, Reigns dished out a chokeslam of his own.
Reigns turned and headed for the curtain and, making his way up the ramp, he turned back only to see the ominous and familiar sign of the Undertaker slowly sitting up and turning his glare towards Reigns readying himself for the next instalment.
Elsewhere, 31 years - that's what Foley has given to the WWE and when he took the microphone on Monday night, he had every intention of thanking McMahon, Triple H and confirming his leave of absence.
Foley's antics as general manager last week landed him in hot water and despite taking to the ring to make his announcement he couldn't help himself and took exception to some of the conditions outlined by the Raw Commisioner.
Enter McMahon and she laid into Foley with a few home truths before delivering the pay-off she has been waiting for - "You're Fired."
As expected there was support for Foley with Sami Zayn entering the fray to speak out only to find himself thrust into unexpected action after McMahon took exception to Zayn's comments.
Having turned down the chance to return to the locker room Zayn found himself in an impromptu bout against Samoa Joe.
After a backstage run-in with Stephanie, Bayley was in action against Nia Jax and victory for Jax means she enters the fatal four-way battle at Wrestlemania for the Women's title.
Away from the action on the mat, Triple H was quick to hand out his thoughts on Rollins after last week's altercation between the pair. Having received the Rollins update on his knee injury Triple H spoke to Michael Cole, handing out an ultimatum that includes terms for a non-sanctioned match-up.
All that plus Chris Jericho and the latest instalment of the Highlight Reel as he exposes the 'real' Kevin Owens and sets his sights on their Wrestlemania clash where he will get payback for the time and effort he expended on Owens.
