WWE Raw June 5, 2017: Results

Bray Wyatt opened the show and called out the competitors from Sunday night's Fatal 5-way bout for stealing his opportunity to fight Brock Lesnar at Great Balls of Fire. Wyatt promised to punish all of them, and right on cue Roman Reigns came out to answer his callout.

Roman Reigns def. Bray Wyatt

Wyatt nearly hit Sister Abigail to open the bout, but Reigns escaped. After back-and-forth action, Reigns tried to hit the Superman Punch, but Wyatt countered. Reigns lines up and connects on a Superman Punch, but Wyatt rolls out of the ring before he can hit the spear. Reigns eventually connects and that's it.

Backstage, Enzo Amore was seen with Big Cass and they were still trying to figure out who is attacking him.
Alexa Bliss was announced in a WWE Raw Women's Championship match against Nia Jax for later in the evening.

Elias Samson vs. Dean Ambrose ends in no contest

Ambrose demanded a rematch, but Miz refused to give it to him. Samson hit his finisher from behind while Ambrose was distracted.

Samoa Joe called out Brock Lesnar. He said he wants the title, light schedule and Paul Heyman as his backer. Joe and Heyman dueled on the mic before Joe locked in the Coquina Clutch and choked him completely out. Monster heel move.
Joe was then seen backstage arguing with Raw GM Kurt Angle before Seth Rollins showed up and noted they had unfinished business.

Cesaro & Sheamus def. Heath Slater & Rhyno

Cesaro worked over Slater to open the match and it wasn't much longer before the Tag champs made quick work, as Sheamus hit the Brogue kick for the three count.

TJP def. Mustafa Ali

TJP questions Neville backstage about a future title shot. He shows up big time, taking it to Ali aggressively. Perkins finishes Ali with the Detonation Kick. Neville comes out and attacks his former friend before saying he'll have a title shot on 205 Live tomorrow night.

Goldust cuts another promo about his return to his old character.
Alexa Bliss tries to enlist help from other women against Jax, but no one is willing to help
Kurt Angle chats with Corey Graves about the dirt someone has against the Raw GM

Kalisto def. Titus O'Neil

Kalisto gets revenge on O'Neil, using a rollup to pin Titus Brand just one day after pinning Apollo Crews.

Backstage, Big Cass is found under some equipment, as he's been attacked this week. He hands Enzo Amore a necklace from the attacker.
Miz's Intercontinental Championship celebration is ruined after he smashes a gift from Martese when he thought Ambrose may have been hiding inside. Camera man appears after Maryse has left, and it's Ambrose, who hits Dirty Deeds.

Big Show & Enzo Amore def. Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows

Amore is forced to find a tag partner after Cass was laid out, and Show answers the call. Show hits a chokeslam on Anderson, then plays the part of Cass for the finish.

Another quick R-Truth promo against Goldust.

Alexa Bliss retained her WWE Raw Women's Championship against Nia Jax after a disqualification

Bliss attacks Jax momentarily before Mickie James and Dana Brooke make their way to ringside. Bliss attacks the duo, causing a disqualification, meaning she keeps her title.

Paul Heyman talks to Brock Lesnar, saying he needs him at Raw next week.

Samoa Joe def. Seth Rollins by TKO

Joe controls the bout until Rollins hits the slingblade and really starts rolling. He hits two dives to the outside before setting up for his finisher. Joe reverses into the Coquina Clutch, as Rollins turns it into a Broken Arrow. Bray Wyatt's video hits, distracting Rollins. It's just enough for Joe to lock in the Coquina Clutch, and for the third time in two nights, chokes out another competitor — this time Rollins.
