Reigns topped Dolph Ziggler, U.S. champion Alberto Del Rio, and IC champion Kevin Owens in the TV main event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Five of the seven matches of the show were centered on WWE Title contendership.\u00a0There were four qualifying matches featuring match winners from Sunday&#8217;s Hell in a Cell PPV, which led to the four-way main event.<\/p>\n<p>There was also a six-man tag match with the &#8220;loser&#8217;s bracket&#8221; from Hell in a Cell &#8211; King Barrett &amp; Sheamus &amp; Rusev beat the Dudleys &amp; Ryback.<\/p>\n<p>The other match was a six-Divas tag match &#8211; Team Bellas beat Divas champion Charlotte, Paige, and Becky Lynch. Afterward, Paige did a full-fledged heel turn on Charlotte and Becky, setting up Paige as the likely next title challenger to Charlotte.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8220;Stone Cold&#8221; Steve Austin made an unannounced backstage appearance. After The Miz played Austin in the &#8220;WWE 2K16&#8221; video game, Austin surprised Miz and the audience by appearing live running down Miz. Austin is the cover-star for this year&#8217;s franchise WWE video game due out this week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Tyler Breeze made his Raw TV debut.

He then plans to use this power to\u00a0conquer Roman Reigns. The implication was Bray is not done with Reigns, who beat Bray in a HIAC match at Sunday&#8217;s PPV.<\/p>\n<p>Kane then appeared as Big Red Kane to defend his fictional brother&#8217;s honor. Kane was taken down by the Wyatts, then carried out of the arena like Taker at the end of the HIAC PPV. This was Kane&#8217;s lone appearance the night after losing the\u00a0WWE Title match against Seth Rollins.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Rollins and The Authority opened the show with a promo glowing about Rollins&#8217;s title reign and accomplishments. Reigns interrupted the promo to stare down Rollins, which is also how Raw ended with a stare down between champion and new challenger.<\/p>\n<p>The other original Shield member, Dean Ambrose, made a backstage appearance giving Reigns a pep-talk after he won his qualifying match and before the four-way #1 contender main event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Announced for Thursday&#8217;s Smackdown is a Halloween theme episode.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1145922478\"><div id=\"pwtor-903088777\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE announced before the start of Raw that a new #1 contender to the WWE Title would be determined on Monday&#8217;s Raw.\u00a0Included were\u00a0multiple singles matches leading to a four-way match in the TV main event. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2015\/10\/26\/raw-tv-preview-hiac-fall-out-no-cena-more\/\" title=\"Raw Notebook &#8211; #1 contender, heel turn, Austin cameo, Breeze debut, Kane, Bray, more\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1567,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,3],"tags":[380,75,257,116,221,73,96,74,84,328,249,106,619,71,112],"class_list":["post-1698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spotlightarticles","category-news_wwe","tag-alberto-del-rio","tag-bray-wyatt","tag-dean-ambrose","tag-john-cena","tag-kane","tag-randy-orton","tag-raw","tag-roman-reigns","tag-seth-rollins","tag-sheamus","tag-the-authority","tag-the-undertaker","tag-the-wyatts","tag-wwe","tag-wwe-raw"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Rawlogo_3x2.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1698"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1698\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1768,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1698\/revisions\/1768"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
