WWE Raw In St. Louis, MO

Recorded for Superstars:
-Damien Sandow d. Sin Cara.
-Tamina Snuka d. Natalya Neidhart.

Live Raw:
-Commentators:  Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, & John Bradshaw Layfield.  Special guest:  Hugh Jackman.
-John Cena started Raw with a promo inside the cage; he wondered why he deserved to get voted into a one-on-three handicap match last week.  He hyped the future of WWE, mentioning names like Roman Reigns, Antonio Cesaro, Seth Rollins, WWE Champion Daniel Bryan, and even NXT wrestlers like Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn.  That prompted the appearance of a creepy choir of kids to sing "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands", heralding the entrance of Bray Wyatt and his Family(Luke Harper & Erick Rowan).  Bray had a good laugh as the kids surrounded the ring and put on the sheep masks...
-Jimmy & Jey Uso d. Ryback & Curtis Axel to retain the Tag Team Titles; Axel Perfectplexed Jey, but Jimmy had made a blind tag and splashed Axel from the top rope for the win.
-Sheamus O'Shaunessy d. Titus O'Neil with the Brogue Kick despite being attacked from behind in the aisleway as he was entering.
-Dolph Ziggler brought out guest star Hugh Jackman...they had an altercation a few years ago involving some other guy(Zack somethingorother).  That led to Damien Sandow entering in a cheap Magneto costume...Jackman finally gave him a hiptoss and Ziggler dropped him with the Zigzag.
-Antonio Cesaro(w/ Paul Heyman) d. Jack Swagger(w/ Zeb Colter); Zeb tripped Cesaro at one point and Heyman grabbed Zab by the mustache, leading to Cesaro pinning a distracted Swagger with a German suplex.
-Alberto Del Rio d. Cody Rhodes(w/ Goldust) with the cross-armbreaker takedown.
-Alexander Rusev(w/ Lana Perry) d. Xavier Woods(w/ "R-Truth" Ron Killings) by DQ when R-Truth broke up the Accolade(camel clutch).  R-Truth and Woods worked together to fight off Rusev.
-Heath Slater & Drew McIntyre(w/ Jinder Mahal & Hornswoggle) d. Los Matadores(Fernando & Diego)(w/ El Torito) when Heath pinned Diego after the Smash Hit(elevated DDT).
-Stephanie McMahon-Helmesly called WWE Champion Daniel Bryan(w/ Brie Bella) out to apologize for Kane's beating on last week's Raw.  Understandably Bryan was skeptical...but Steph made a peace offering of a Women's Title shot for Brie.
-Paige Knight vs. Brie Bella(w/ Daniel Bryan) for the Women's Title ended in a no-contest when Kane ripped his way up through the ring to grab Brie.  Bryan tried to fight him off by hitting him with a ring wrench, but Kane sat up and chokeslammed Bryan(who was still in a neckbrace from being Tombstoned three times last week).
-Intercontinental Title Contender Tournament:  Wade "Bad News" Barrett d. Rob Van Dam.  Cesaro(w/ Heyman) and Swagger(w/ Zeb) both got involved and Cesaro delayed the five-star frog splash long enough for Barrett to get his knees up and block it.  Barrett got the win with the Bullhammer...and a three-way fight erupted afterwards between RVD, Cesaro, and Swagger.  Swagger Doctor-Bombed Cesaro, but Van Dam kicked Swagger down and hit the five-star frog splash on Cesaro.
-Roman Reigns(w/ U.S. Champion Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins) fought Randy Orton(w/ Triple H & Batista) to a no-contest.  Ric Flair made an appearance to talk up his time in Evolution, but then praised The Shield members and shook their hands before leaving.  The match was thrown out when everyone started brawling outside the ring...the Evolution trio seemed to have control, but Rollins broke up a Pedigree on Ambrose and The Shield members took over.  Triple H got speared by Reigns, but Orton and Batista interrupted an attempted triple-team spike powerbomb...Seth and Dean got the chairs away from them and the Evolution members retreated.

Dark match:
-John Cena d. Bray Wyatt(w/ Luke Harper & Erick Rowan) by DQ when Harper & Rowan interfered.

On Main Event:  Sheamus vs. Wyatt.
