WWE RAW complete results, May 12: Daniel Bryan announces neck surgery, out several weeks

With the special event ‘Payback’ just a few weeks away, WWE RAW emanates live Monday night on USA from the Con Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.

If this week is anything like last week, we’ll be in for a wild ride.

Still the main storyline within the company is the constant battle between Evolution and the Shield, a battle which we learned last week won’t be ending anytime soon.

With the Shield being forced to face the Wyatts in the main event, Evolution came out and decimated the their foes, just 24 hours removed from being defeated at Extreme Rules.

Also last week in the opening bout, we saw a new United States Champion crowned when Sheamus won a battle royal by tossing out then champion Dean Ambrose, who was forced into the match by Triple H right before last week’s show went on the air.

Later on in the broadcast we saw the long-awaited debut of Adam Rose on the main roster from NXT as he came out and interrupted a promo by Zeb Colter, putting the writing on the wall this his first feud will be against Jack Swagger.

RAW begins at 8 PM ET on the USA Network, with the pre-show airing at 7:30 on the WWE Network.

At 8, be sure to check back here and follow along below with live results updated while in progress:

Right before RAW even gets underway, WWE COO Triple H sent out this tweet:

What that means, we’re going to find out in a few minutes…

They show a video package recapping what happened at the end of last week between the Shield and Evolution.

RAW starts with the Shield standing in the ring for a promo. Dean Ambrose says that despite what happened last week, the Shield are up much more than they’re down and they want Evolution.

Seth Rollins says they’re not running FROM Evolution, they’re running TO Evolution. The Shield want a rematch.

Rollins hands the mic to Reigns who’s pacing back and forth. Roman says Evolution has a serious problem after what happened last week. They’re going to teach Evolution the concept of “Payback.”

Evolution is shown arriving in a limo and the Shield immediately run to the back. They attack Evolution right in the back as the referees and officials swoop in to break it up and they take the Shield away.

RVD’s music hits and he’s out for the first contest of the night to take on Jack Swagger.

RVD vs. Jack Swagger

Back from commercial, Zeb Colter is in the ring berating the fans. He has Adam Rose on the deportation list now after what happened last week.

Right after the bell rings, Rose’s music hits and he and the Rosebuds make their way to the ring. After a distraction from his parading around the ring, Swagger turns around, gets a kick to the chops, eats a Five-Star Frog Splash and that’s it.

Winner: RVD

They cut to a promo of Paige before commercial.

Back from commercial, another Bo Dallas promo airs.

Paige vs. Alicia Fox

Before the match gets started, Fox has the mic. She talks about Paige alienating all the Divas and then hits her with a cheap shot and pummels her in the corner.

After the bell finally rings, Alicia continues the beat down and tosses Paige out of the ring. She gets a bridge pin but only for a two count.

Alicia just keeps tearing Paige apart. Even better for when Paige comes back and wins this, a la John Cena style.

And, I was right, Paige hits the Paige Turner out of nowhere for the win.

Winner: Paige

After the match, Alicia throws a pretty neat tantrum, shooting soda everywhere and what not.

Promo airs of the Kane-Daniel Bryan saga.

Next, Daniel Bryan will address the WWE Universe, presumably in regards to his reported neck injury.

Back from commercial, Bryan is hitting the ring.

He thanks everyone, because it’s been a long road to get here. He explains how he got the beating of his life when he got back from his honeymoon from Kane. He says that his entire wrestling style comes with a price, and he’s paid that price with his body. He admits that this Thursday he needs neck surgery, as was reported earlier on Monday.

Bryan says that he doesn’t know when he’ll be back, but he says that he will definitely be back and leads the crowd in a YES chant.

Next up is the six-man with John Cena and the Usos vs. The Wyatts

John Cena and the Usos vs. the Wyatt Family

Luke Harper and Jey Uso get the match started off following the commercial break after the always awesome Wyatt entrance.

There’s some good back and forth action, with the usual tags in between.

After a long Uso beatdown, Cena gets the hot tag, because of course he does, and he cleans house–again, because OF COURSE HE DOES!

Cena locks in the STF on Rowan, but Bray breaks it up. Bray goes for Sister Abigail but both Usos break it up with superkicks. Cena hits an AA on Rowan for the win.

Winners: Cena and the Usos (Not a bad match)

After the match, Bray grabs the mic and thanks Cena for helping him to realize what he must do now.

Evolution is up next after commercial.

Back from commercial and here come Evolution.

Orton with the mic first, he says it’s time to put the Shield to sleep. Batista then says that he’s had enough. HHH talks about the Shield like they were his children. Hunter then says that the Shield will get their rematch. He runs down every member, verbally, one-by-one.

Out of nowhere the Shield blindside Evolution and get them out of the ring.

Batista announces that he wants Reigns…and the wants him TONIGHT!

Back from commercial, the cast of Total Divas is at ringside.

Back from commercial, recap of the Sheamus U.S. title win is shown.

Sheamus vs. Curtis Axel

Sheamus gets off to a fast start against Axel, until Axel gets him into the corner. The Axel offense doesn’t last long.

Throughout most of the middle of the bout, Axel is actually giving Sheamus a run for his money. Eventually, Sheamus gets the cloverleaf on Axel for the win.

Winner: Sheamus

After the match, Ryback attacks Sheamus and we’re going to have ourselves another match when we come back from commercial.

Back from the commercial, Ryback is taking it to Sheamus before the Celtic Warrior makes a comeback.

Sheamus hits White Noise after a failed clothesline attempt by Ryback, but he only gets a two count. Sheamus eventually hits the Brogue Kick for the win.

Winner…again: Sheamus

Back from commercial, Stephanie McMahon makes her way to the ring.

She addresses the Bryan promo from before about the neck injury. She calls him simply not an A+ player, and says that his body just couldn’t simply keep up and says that he can’t pull through for the fans. She asks Bryan to come down to the ring because she has something that she wants to say to him face-to-face.

Instead of Bryan, Kane comes out dragging Bryan’s lifeless body and leaves him laying on the top of the ramp, beaten. The medics come out to stretcher him out of the arena. Stephanie comes up the ramp to check on him–albeit sarcastically.

The segment ends with Bryan being taken out of the arena on the stretcher.

Back from commercial, Bryan is being put into the ambulance with Stephanie sarcastically apologizing. Brie shoves Steph before getting into the ambulance with Bryan.

In the ring, Dolph Ziggler’s music is finishing up and Fandango comes out.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Fandango

Fandango controls the majority of the match to start off; loud “Let’s go Ziggler!” chants ring out. Layla gets on the apron and distracts Dolph but it doesn’t work. Ziggler hits the Zig-Zag for the win.

Winner: Dolph Ziggler

After the match, Layla gets in the ring. Fandango grabs the mic and says that he’s a winner because no woman has made him feel like Layla does. He then tells Layla he loves her and they make out in the middle of the ring.

Back from commercial, it’s HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN!

He starts to plug Legend’s House but is interrupted by Lana. Loud “USA!” chants ring out from the fans. Eventually, out comes Rusev and they head to the ring for Duggan.

Lana says she’ll give Duggan one chance to beg for mercy, but he says no. Rusev breaks the 2×4 over his knee.

Big E. runs out to make the save for Duggan and he and Rusev go at it. Rusev easily gets the better though and gets Big E. out of the ring. Rusev and Lana stand tall in the ring to end the segment.

Back from commercial, Damien Sandow makes his way to the ring.

He starts going rogue on the mic again. He’s eventually cut off by Cody Rhodes’ music.

Damien Sandow vs. Cody Rhodes

Cody has the upper hand in this one early on, frustrating Sandow. Sandow, after a few minutes, gets back on top and starts dominating Cody. After some more back and forth, Cody rakes the eyes, hits the Disaster Kick and gets the pin.

Winner: Cody Rhodes

Next up is Reigns vs. Batista…

A short Bray Wyatt promo airs on John Cena. He challenges John Cena to a ‘Last Man Standing’ match at Payback.

Roman Reigns vs. Batista

Reigns is out first, followed by Batista, flanked by Hunter and Orton.

The two start out tangled up with one another. Batista gets the upper hand early on, pounding Reigns into the corner. The two end up brawling on the outside within minutes.

After some battling back and forth, Evolution and the Shield begin to battle on the outside and the referee rings the bell. Back in the ring, the Shield begin to beat down Evolution before a host of mid-card heels hit the ring and start taking out the Shield at the request of Stephanie McMahon, who stands at the top of the ramp.

HHH goes to the outside and grabs a chair but gets speared by Reigns. The Shield start tagging everyone with chairs! Evolution retreats to the top of the ramp and watch as the Shield beat everyone up in the ring.

The Shield give the triple powerbomb to Ryback and stare down Evolution as the show goes off the air.
