December 28 , 2015 Monday Night RAW results The December 28 , 2015 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on December 28 , 2015 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn , New York . Summary . When Mr . McMahon revealed he ’ d be returning to Raw for the first time since Roman Reigns Superman Punched him into a dental surgeon ’ s chair , he probably didn ’ t expect he ’ d be leaving in the back of a police car . After his and Stephanie McMahon ’ s attempt to frame Reigns on a bogus assault charge went south , a scuffle ensued , during which time Mr . McMahon laid hands on one of the detectives in frustration . This led to the mind - boggling sight of New York ’ s finest hauling The Chairman of the Board to the tombs while the crowd “ Na Na Na " ed him out of the building . Looks like that Christmas magic carried over for Neville , but only to a point . The Man That Gravity Forgot had been scheduled for a match against Kevin Owens , who lost the Breakout Star of the Year Slammy to the Neville in what KO likely considered a robbery . Instead , it turned out to be one - and - done for the battle of the former NXT Champions ; Owens thwarted an immediate Red Arrow and went for the Pop - up Powerbomb , only to be rolled up and defeated to cap the contest at shorter than 30 seconds . Which , of course , Owens took horribly , demolishing The Man That Gravity Forgot in a lengthy , frustration - filled beatdown that would have culminated in a powerbomb on the apron . . . had Intercontinental Champion ( and persistent Owens - tormentor ) Dean Ambrose not come to the rescue at the last second . Lass Kicker , meet lass kicking : Even though former East Village bartender / Hell ’ s Kitchen resident Becky Lynch was all hopped up for her New York homecoming , Boston - bred Boss Sasha Banks was ready , willing and able to spoil Maiden Ireland ’ s comeback in their first match since WWE TLC Kickoff — not to mention a reprisal of one of the year ’ s best contests . Maybe it was the absence of Charlotte that did Becky in ( though her help has been oddly spotty of late ) . Maybe Sasha ’ s TakeOver gear from her last trip to BK gave her good luck . Either way , a gritty effort by Lynch went the way of the New York Giants ’ season while Banks played Tom Brady and came through in the clutch , reversing the Dis - arm - her into a rollup — with the tights , of course . Bosses gotta Boss . Even The Power of Positivity can ’ t stop The King of Flight . “ OMG ” - inducing Slammy Award winner Kalisto proved as much on Raw when he went mano a mano with the aerially inclined third of The New Day , Kofi Kingston . Kalisto managed to knock off The Dreadlocked Dynamo , who seemed to think he would roll over the former NXT Tag Team Champion without incident . Instead , Kingston found himself rolled up after Sin Cara took out a meddling Big E & Xavier Woods at ringside , opening the door for Kalisto to seal the deal . As good as Kalisto ’ s night was , Sin Cara ’ s was a nightmare . Fielding an on - the - spot challenge from Big E , The International Sensation was handled with the greatest of ease by the WWE Tag Team Champion , who seized control by hauling Sin Cara shoulder - first off the apron and never let up . The former NXT Tag Team Champion did not go quietly after that , rallying with an insane rolling senton to the big man from the top rope . But go he did , as Big E snuffed out Sin Cara ' s surge and , once Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods disposed of Kalisto at ringside , concluded the painful display with a Big Ending . So “ Miz TV ” is back , and while The Awesome One intended to use his forum as a pulpit from which to celebrate the year in review , several interrupting WWE Superstars took it upon themselves to steal the spotlight and instead cast their predictions for the year to come . Ryback vowed to eat everyone . Goldust predicted a , erm , Golden Globe award for Miz . Zack Ryder promised to kick off the Year of Zack Ryder . R - Truth campaigned ( belatedly ) for Superstar of the Year . Someone hit Heath Slater ’ s music and The One Man Band made his grand reappearance . And then Big Show came out , declared for the Royal Rumble Match and destroyed everyone . Here ’ s to 2016 , guys . Good luck . But wait , there ’ s more ! Apparently , Ryback didn ’ t take well to being manhandled by Big Show during his 2016 Royal Rumble Match declaration , so he demanded the giant present himself for a proper contest . The reigning Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal victor obliged , but only to a point . Once The Big Guy got a head of steam going , Show rolled out of the ring and took the count out loss . It ’ s a luxury he won ’ t have during the Royal Rumble Match itself , but then again , he won ’ t have to do something as strenuous as pin a man to win it , either . In any case , this head - to - head likely isn ’ t finished . Sheamus may have lost the WWE World Heavyweight Championship , but his League of Nations shows no signs of letting up against the collective power of the WWE roster . The Celtic Warrior himself led two of his comrades — King Barrett & Rusev — in a winning effort against Dean Ambrose and The Usos , setting the stage nicely for fellow League - mate Alberto Del Rio ’ s bout with a returning John Cena later in the night . An injury to Jimmy Uso ’ s leg left him ripe for The League ’ s picking , and even a momentum boost from a fresh Ambrose and Jey couldn ’ t stop the numbers game . In fact , it was Barrett who provided the key distraction by teeing Jey up for the fateful Brogue Kick , but it was Kevin Owens who provided the final exclamation point by bum - rushing a beatdown Ambrose out of nowhere and powerbombing him through the commentary table . He . Is . BACK . He , of course , being John Cena — and Mr . McMahon , but we ’ ll get to him . Before that , in his first televised contest since losing the U . S . Title to Alberto Del Rio at Hell in a Cell , Cena not only goaded Del Rio into sending The League of Nations back to the locker room , but he also talked Del Rio into defending said U . S . Title . That ’ s not bad by any measure . However , there was no way The League of Nations was about to lose its last remaining piece of hardware , so they jumped The Face That Runs the Place at the moment of truth , giving him the disqualification . The Usos arrived to help but were quickly dispatched , so Roman Reigns came to bat cleanup , taking out Rusev and King Barrett before decking Sheamus with a chair . That , finally , brought out Mr . McMahon with some big news for the first Raw of 2016 : Reigns would defend his title against Sheamus , with The Chairman himself as the guest referee . It ’ s a common tactic in business and battle to save your trump card for last . In keeping with that thinking , consider this The Chairman ’ s ace of spades .
