WWE RAW live results tracker from the May 30 episode live from the Resch Center in Green Bay, WI
John Cena makes his triumphant return to WWE and WWE RAW on Monday, May 30 in the Resch Center in Green Bay, WI after being out for several months due to injury. If for no other reason, the eyes of wrestling fans will be on WWE RAW to either hate-watch the return of Cena or to see what WWE has in store for the top guy in the company (sorry, Roman) going into the summer.
However, there’s obviously many more stories left to tell on WWE RAW outside of the top one regarding Cena. Seth Rollins is still back and coming for Roman Reigns in a big way. We saw the match be made for the title at WWE Money In the Bank last week, but with three weeks still until the pay-per-view, you have to wonder what else could happen with those two.
Also regarding the build up to Money In The Bank is of course the story leading to the ladder match for the briefcase. Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Cesaro, Chris Jericho, Dean Ambrose, and Alberto Del Rio have already qualified. Now all that remains to be seen is which superstar will fill that seventh and final spot.
WWE RAW could also hold a big reveal on Monday night as well. They’ve teased about unlocking something from a “Hatch” for the past week now and, with news of the brand split and everything else, you have to wonder what that could be.
This episode of WWE RAW isn’t one you’ll want to miss and you can keep up with all of the action with our live results tracker below once the show begins at 8 p.m. ET. Also be sure to stay involved with the actions in the comments at the bottom of the page.
Memorial Day
WWE RAW began with a 10-bell salute and tribute video to honor the fallen members of the armed forces on Memorial Day.

Shane, Steph, New Day, and a New Era
Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon were out first and again announced the return of Smackdown going live and the brand split. The New Day was out soon after to grill the McMahons about any information, but they had nothing to offer:
Will the upcoming #BrandExtension break up The New Day? Does @StephMcMahon and @ShaneMcMahon have answers? #RAW https://t.co/Lv9DRTukRa
— WWE (@WWE) May 31, 2016
New Day then decided that the best way to decide who runs Smackdown between Shane and Steph would be a dance battle. Shane danced and, just as Stephanie was about to, The Vaudevillains interrupted to set up their match.

New Day vs The Vaudevillains
The Vaudevillains tried to take control early, but Big E and Kofi showed why they’re the tag champs.

Of course, things got dicey in the middle of the match with Kofi in peril, but he got to his corner to get Big E just as Aiden English was tagged in to make things interesting:

Just when the conclusion to the match seemed inevitable, though, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson showed up and beat down the tag champs. They took out Xavier and Kofi on the outside and hit Big E with a Magic Killer inside before admiring their destruction.

Next up backstage was Apollo Crews doing push-ups when Big Show ran up on him. It wasn’t for an attack, though. Instead, it was to talk to him about how to get to and survive Sheamus.

The Usos vs Breezango (Fabreeze, alternatively)
The Golden Truth was out on commentary for this match and Tyler Breeze and Fandango seemed more concerned with that than the match. Ultimately, that cost them the match.

— WWE Universe (@WWEUniverse) May 31, 2016
Angered, they then tried to attack R-Truth and Goldust after, but The Golden Truth stood tall.
Winners: The Usos
Roman and Seth, Together Again
Roman was out to call out Seth Rollins, saying that his Money In The Bank opponent is a coward. However, Rollins came out when he called.
Rollins then proceeded to tease coming to the ring to get physical, but never said a word and never got into the squared circle:
.@WWERollins wants a piece of @WWERomanReigns!! Or not. OK, he does ... No, not now... #RAW https://t.co/mT74iR6Q2V

After this segment, they aired the reveal trailer for WWE 2K17, featuring Goldberg.
Rusev vs Zack Ryder
Ryder looked as if he might get one over on the US Champion, but an attempt at the Rough Rider backfired and led to Rusev locking in The Accolade for the win.

Winner: Rusev
After the match, Rusev began to talk down about America, which brought out Titus O’Neil. Titus backed up USA and then sent the US champ running with a quick beating.

Backstage after a recap of Charlotte being horrible to Ric Flair, Stephanie McMahon ran her down backstage, saying she disgraced the women’s title.
Enzo and Big Cass vs Dudley Boyz
Enzo and Big Cass did their pre-match promo and it was predictably great.

— WWE Universe (@WWEUniverse) May 31, 2016
Out came the Dudley Boys for a match and it was the former NXT duo that got the upper hand on the veterans early.
Though it looked like the Dudleys might have some momentum, though, Enzo and Cass ultimately picked up the win.
.@WWEAaLLday21 & @BigCassWWE are a handful for the #DudleyBoyz on @WWE #RAW. https://t.co/Cmcq1p0WPo

Winners: Enzo and Big Cass
Backstage, Dean Ambrose, Cesaro, and Sami Zayn were preparing for their six-man tag team match in the main event.
John Cena Back, but Not Looking So Good Immediately
John Cena returned to the reaction you’d expect and delivered the promo you’d expect about America and his own perseverance. However, it wasn’t long before AJ Styles was out to a huge reaction and Styles was welcoming to Cena.
That is, he was welcoming until The Club came out to run him down for fraternizing with Cena. That’s when AJ turned on Cena and beat him down in a major way.

Natalya vs Dana Brooke
This was a quick match in which Natty was in control early, but the Women’s champ in Charlotte distracted her to allow Dana to get the win.

Winner: Dana Brooke
Charlotte and Dana started beating Natty down after, but Becky Lynch came down to make the save and send the other two running.
Baron Corbin vs Dolph Ziggler
Ziggler had challenged Corbin to a technical wrestling match, but this was ultimately a comedy segment. Headgear on and all, Dolph wasted no time simply kicking Corbin below the belt to get himself disqualified.
.@HEELZiggler wanted to show @BaronCorbinWWE his technical wrestling ability. So much for that... #RAW https://t.co/RCcsjeyfOK

Backstage, Alberto Del Rio, Chris Jericho, and Kevin Owens were backstage discussing their strategy in the main event.
Sami Zayn, Dean Ambrose, Cesaro vs Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Alberto Del Rio
In by far the least shocking development on this show, this match was absolutely fantastic. In the end, though, it was the trio of faces getting the win when Ambrose hit Dirty Deeds for the pin.
Winners: Zayn, Ambrose, Cesaro
