September 14 , 2015 Monday Night RAW results The September 14 , 2015 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on September 14 , 2015 at the FedEx Forum in Memphis , Tennessee . Summary . Call it a season premiere or a new day , either way , we still have the same WWE Tag Team Champions . On a night already stacked with blockbuster matches , including the in - ring Raw debut of Sting , The New Day kicked off Raw ’ s season premiere by knocking off The Prime Time Players in the former champions ’ rematch for the twin titles they lost at SummerSlam . Credit Xavier Woods ’ trombone for disorienting Titus O ’ Neil at the moment of truth and Big E and Kofi Kingston for following up with the Midnight Hour to The Big Deal ( Darren Young had been Trouble in Paradise ’ d into unconsciousness at ringside ) . Of course , with PTP dispatched , New Day ’ s next challengers came crawling out of the woodwork when The Dudley Boyz stomped to the top of the ramp , leading the WWE Universe in a “ Get the Tables ” chant . Enjoy those titles , guys . They could be gone come Sunday . It turns out there is one downside to Charlotte ’ s Divas Title opportunity later in the night . The former NXT Women ’ s Champion wasn ’ t on hand to support Paige in her tilt against Sasha Banks , which meant Team B . A . D . had PCB outnumbered three - to - two . To her credit , Banks didn ’ t lean on the support of her squad for the majority of the match , in which she made it a point to target Paige ’ s arm over and over again . In fact , it was only after Paige suplexed Sasha out of the ring that Tamina made her move , pulling The Boss to safety when Paige attempted a somersault dive . The Diva of Tomorrow ate dirt on the outside and Sasha did the rest , locking in the Bank Statement for a tap - out while Naomi and Tamina stomped Becky Lynch into the mat . In all fairness , if you booked The Wyatt Family on a talk show , you ’ d probably expect something terrible to happen , too . When The Miz hosted the first family of fear on the latest “ Miz TV , ” it was inevitable that someone was going to get beat up , especially after Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns crashed the party . Somewhat unsurprisingly , that person was Miz , who ended up on the wrong end of a boot to the gut from Ambrose , leaving the two warring families alone in the ring . Face - to - face with his tormentors , Reigns took hold of the microphone and , after a few choice words about Wyatt ’ s treatment of his cousin on SmackDown , dropped his biggest bombshell yet on The New Face of Fear . He and Ambrose had found their third man for Night of Champions , and with the side shored up , the former Shield members were ready to go to war once again . The John Cena – Sheamus match on Raw certainly had the air of opportunism on the part of The Authority , as both men have their sights set on Seth Rollins ’ titles at Night of Champions . The corporate power clearly hoped the two heavyweights would simply take each other out before Sunday , and indeed , they haymakered each other wobbly only minutes into the bout , with Cena gaining the upper hand after a Five - Knuckle Shuffle . Mr . Money in the Bank rallied with 10 Beats of the Bodhrán , but Cena , showing little respect for the mohawk , responded himself with 10 clubs of his own to the Celt ’ s chest cavity . It came down to who would blink first , and despite a grueling counter of the STF into a rolling senton , that ended up being Sheamus when Cena caught him in an Attitude Adjustment for the win . It was a tough night for Sheamus , but even in defeated , you ’ d be a fool to say he looked stupid . After weeks of circling Ryback and one instance of costing him a match , Kevin Owens opted for a far less passive - aggressive approach than previous weeks this time around by crashing The Big Guy ’ s in - ring interview and ( after some choice words about Ryback ’ s sacred tome , “ The Secret ” ) all but promised The Big Guy he ’ d take his Intercontinental Title if given the chance . Coincidentally , given Ryback ’ s competitive nature and the fact that every title must be defended Sunday , it should be no surprise that the Intercontinental Champion had already gone to The Authority and asked for the match . So it ' s Ryback vs . Owens at Night of Champions . How do ya like them apples ? It took a couple of weeks , but The Man That Gravity Forgot finally got some backup to bring Stardust back down to earth . The Prince of Dark Matter ’ s burgeoning alliance with The Ascension came at the expense of Neville , and the former NXT Champion didn ’ t bother with any pleasantries when it came time to answer back . Neville brought in The Lucha Dragons as backup to take out both Stardust and The Ascension , sending the villains into retreat in short order . . . and instiaging a challenge for Night of Champions Kickoff . Charlotte gets the win , but Nikki Bella keeps the record . That was the gist of the Divas Championship Match between Ric Flair ’ s progeny and the now longest - recorded titleholder of the women ’ s prize , which had more twists and turns than a “ Mr . Robot ” episode and about as many people getting involved . Thanks to a brutal , simple strategy — attack the arm — Nikki had the upper hand until a Charlotte comeback forced her to activate Twin Magic … but Charlotte flipped the script and won anyway , pinning Brie Bella . Once the official realized the ruse , Stephanie McMahon came to the ring under the pretense of upholding the Divas division ’ s integrity to change the decision to a disqualification , sending Nikki to SmackDown ' s " Bellabration " as champ . But Stephanie also upheld the title match for Night of Champions , with one new caveat : Should Nikki lose , under any circumstance , she will lose the title as well . Heyyy , Cesaro ’ s back ! After a couple less - than - stellar weeks for The Swiss Superman , the grand marshal of the Cesaro Section got his legs back under him by serving a rare defeated to Rusev thanks to an innocuous if fortuitous appearance by Dolph Ziggler at ringside . Right as The Bulgarian Brute was in a deadlock with Cesaro , The Showoff sauntered down to the ring with a gift box for Summer Rae , enabling Cesaro to spring with a ridiculously intricate rollup for the win . Ziggler followed up the win with another surprise , in the form of a superkick to Rusev ' s face . The big kick left the big man seeing stars , but Summer wasn ’ t so concerned that she couldn ’ t sneak the gift , which turned out to be jewelry , away for herself while tending to her man ’ s health . Winless no more , Sting officially got a victory on the board in WWE after his first time stepping through the ropes on Monday Night Raw … though there is a catch . The Vigilante ’ s inaugural “ W ” came as a result of a disqualification , and led immediately into his second Raw contest after the Sting – Big Show tilt organized by The Authority unraveled in epic fashion . Holding his own against an opponent he ’ s known for a very long time , Sting seemed on the verge of toppling the giant . But then Seth Rollins rushed The Icon to avenge his beloved statue , placing the former WCW Champion on the wrong end of a two - on - one beatdown . In came John Cena to even the odds , at which point The Authority intervened to reorganize the scrum into — Holla ! — a tag team match . Make that two wins for The Stinger . Moments after Sting ’ s battle with Big Show was reorganized in a tag match teaming Sting with John Cena and Seth Rollins with Show , The Authority ’ s foot soldiers got their wind back when Cena found himself crushed like a jellybean under the giant ’ s boot . Miraculously , the Cenation leader survived long enough to tag in Sting , and The Icon ran roughshod over a thoroughly unprepared Rollins , executing a Scorpion Death Drop on The Architect after Cena dispatched an interfering Big Show with an Attitude Adjustment . With Rollins reeling , Sting sealed the deal by rolling " The Man " into a Scorpion Deathlock and achieving a near - instant submission . Better luck Sunday , champ .
