One final Figure Eight Leg Lock puts Sasha Banks away, and gives Charlotte her fourth Raw Women’s Championship in eight months. The event is going to be shown live at it takes place in the Schottenstein Center at Columbus, Ohio. Will Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens’ friendship reach new heights, and what’s next for Charlotte and Sasha?
Seth Rollins def. Chris Jericho by pin following the Pedigree after a distraction from Kevin Owens.
The twist ending caused Seth Rollins, who had overcome unwanted intervention from Owens earlier in the night to defeat Jericho, to make a run-in to ringside. Later in the episode, Lana invited him to her hotel room but it turned out to be a trap as Rusev was there to attack him. Cass was so busy checking on Enzo that Rusev was able to sneak back into the ring to get the count-out victory. The Rumble already has two marquee names announced in Goldberg and Brock Lesnar.
After reluctantly teaming up, Sheamus and Cesaro have failed on multiple occasions to capture the Raw Tag Team Championships from the New Day (who are now the longest-reigning tag team champions in WWE history).
The New Day have been WWE Tag Team Champions since August 23, 2015.
As mentioned, there are two superstars above Jericho right now for the WWE Royal Rumble odds, but they appear to be fan favorites to win. Did Sasha have to win the title on Raw a few weeks ago? He has not faced the strongest opponents so far but he will soon go against Sami Zayn.
In an exciting match limited by time, Sami Zayn defeated Braun Strowman by surviving the 10 minute limit.
Once again Banks has failed to hold onto her title for a prolonged period of time, and question marks now have to be asked regarding her long-term chances in WWE.
JOHN POWELL: Zayn takes Strowman to the limit, so nobody loses faces after this one. No matter who wins or loses it seems Banks will go on to face Nia Jax and Charlotte possibly feuding with Bayley. However, it nearly seemed natural with matches like Charlotte and Sasha on the card, which supposedly will be the final encounter (at least for now) between the two.
This time, Roadblock: End of the Line appears to be some semblance of closure before we move into Royal Rumble, which is the first chapter of WrestleMania season.
Head on over to WrestleNewz later today for complete coverage of WWE’s “Roadblock: End of the Line“. Perhaps even bigger, though, there will be a 30-minute Iron Woman math for the Women’s Championship as title-holder Sasha Banks defends against Charlotte. However, at Roadblock: End of the Line, reigning United States Champion Roman Reigns would be looking to do what his former Shield teammate had done before him when Reigns challenges Kevin Owens for the WWE Universal Championship. The show will air tonight at 8:00 p.m.
