WWE Raw

-Commentators:  Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, & John Bradshaw Layfield.  Guest hosts:  Edge & Christian Cage.
-E&C's opening promo and promise of a Five-Second Pose(tm) was interrupted by WWE Champion Brock Lesnar & Paul Heyman...that led to a brief confrontation between Lesnar and John Cena.
-Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler d. U.S. Champion Alexander Rusev(w/ Lana Perry) by DQ(non-title) when Rusev stomped down Ziggler in the corner past the referee's five-count.  Ryback saved Dolph from a post-match attack.  Ryback talked about his career and said he'd had a tough road to success in WWE(acknowledging his past as Tough Enough contestant Ryan Reeves and Nexus member Skip Sheffield), but he would finally become a champion by beating Rusev.
-Women's Champion Nikki Bella(w/ Brie Bella) d. Natalya Neidhart(w/ Tyson Kidd)(non-title); Nattie knocked Nikki off the apron and Kidd caught her, causing tension between the couple(watch Total Divas Sunday nights on E~!).  That distraction led to Nikki winning with the Rack Attack(torture-rack drop).
-Jimmy & Jey Uso d. Mike Mizanin & Damien Sandow to win the Tag Team Titles when Jimmy pinned Miz after the top-rope splash; Naomi Night celebrated with her husband Jimmy after the match.
-Wade "Bad News" Barrett d. Antonio Cesaro with the Bullhammer.
-Luke Harper d. Jack Swagger with the discus lariat.
-Roman Reigns d. Seth Rollins(w/ Jamie Knoble & Joey Mercury) by DQ when The Big Show(who was doing commentary) pulled Reigns out of the ring as he was setting up for the spear.  Show threw Reigns over the broadcast table and then dumped the table on top of him.
-Long story short:  Daniel Bryan isn't retiring and he's entering the Royal Rumble.  Woo.
-The Ascension(Konnor O'Brian & Rick Viktor) d. Mike Mizanin & Damien Sandow when Konnor pinned Sandow after the Fall Of Man(legsweep/flying European uppercut combo).
-The show ended with The Cutting Edge Peep Show as Edge & Christian interviewed Seth Rollins(w/ J&J Security).  Rollins brought out Big Show for his New Year's celebration, then called for Cena to come out as well...Rollins attacked Christian and had Show hold down Edge over the Money In The Bank briefcase.  He threatened to advanced-curbstomp Edge on the briefcase unless Cena brought back The Authority.  Cena had no choice and finally said that The Authority could return to power...Rollins went to deliver the curbstomp anyway and Cena rushed the ring, fighting Seth and his security until Show PUNCHed him out.  Seth added a curbstomp on Cena...and Triple H and Stephanie McMahon came out to celebrate their return to power.
