‘Stone Cold’ makes a special guest appearance for RAW in MSG.
Last night we witnessed the ‘go-home’ episode of Monday night RAW before Clash of Champions this Sunday.
RAW returned to the famous Madison Square Garden arena.
This upcoming November would’ve made ten years since WWE RAW aired live in the MSG arena.
Stone Cold Opens RAW
‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin hosts the opening segment in RAW’s return to the “World’s Most Famous Arena”.
Universal Champion, Seth Rollins, and his challenger, Braun Strowman, exchange heated words.
For instance, they would sign off on their world title match en route to Clash of Champions.
We've got a…

Contract signing…
WHAT?
And it's getting a little…
WHAT?
Heated!!!!@WWERollins @BraunStrowman @steveaustinBSR #RAW pic.twitter.com/QpJOO34sl4— WWE (@WWE) September 10, 2019
However, The OC led by WWE United States Champion, AJ Styles, would confront Austin, Rollins, and Strowman.
The RAW Tag Team Champions puts their differences aside to dismantle The OC.
Styles would receive a surprising ‘Stunner’ from Austin to kickoff RAW at a hot start.
WATCH YOUR BACK, @AJStylesOrg…

Despite being rattled, the ‘Phenomenal One’ would go onto wrestle Cedric Alexander.
They fought to a disqualification but due to interference from The OC.
Alexander would eventually gain help from The Viking Raiders to fend of The OC, and as a result, a newfound alliance is formed.
Lynch and Flair versus Banks and Bayley
Secondly, the Four Horsewomen would go onto clash in tag team action.
Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair defeats Sasha Banks and Bayley, following a ‘Natural Selection’ by Flair.
Rey Mysterio versus Gran Metalik
Thirdly, we witness Rey Mysterio pick up a win against fellow luchador, Gran Metalik.
Above all, this is a fast-paced match packed with lucha libre action.
When you find yourself facing @reymysterio at @TheGarden, you BETTER be ready for that 619! #RAW @WWEGranMetalik pic.twitter.com/gCLdyBT8h7

WWE Main Event Tag Team Action
In conclusion, Seth Rollins, Cedric Alexander, Braun Strowman and The Viking Raiders defeat AJ Styles, Bobby Roode, Dolph Ziggler, and The OC.
As the finish to the match, Alexander scores a major upset by pinning the former two-time WWE Champion, AJ Styles.
As a result, Alexander should be given a future US title match.
Uh-oh. 😬
