Before he faced McIntyre in the main event, Uso was approached once again by Priest backstage. They discussed the idea of Jey joining the Bloodline, but Priest used the idea of recruiting Jimmy to get inside Jey's head.
The Scottish Warrior was looking to take out all of the frustrations he has had with The Bloodline for the past three years, but Jey is on Raw to distance himself from all of that, so he wasn't looking to jump right into this fight.
They locked up a few times so McIntyre could demonstrate his power, so Jey used his speed to avoid him for as long as possible.
Even though Jey was playing the underdog in this situation, he was still putting up a good fight. Judgment Day came to the ringside area to support Jey even though he never asked them to be there.
When everyone in Judgment Day got on the apron to talk to Uso, he took them all out with superkicks before McIntyre nailed him with a Claymore for the win.
This match was pretty much what everyone should have expected going into it. That is not a bad thing, but it certainly won't stand out either. McIntyre was having trouble deciding whether to help Uso fend off Judgment Day when Rhodes ran down to help Uso clear the ring. The show ended with Main Event Jey and The American Nightmare standing tall.
Winner: Drew McIntyre
Notable Moments and Observations
- At first glance, McIntyre's white kilt almost looks like he was just wearing a towel, which brings up memories of Val Venis, and nobody wants that.
- It feels like Priest's MITB briefcase is going to be less of a priority moving forward, which hopefully makes his cash-in that much more surprising.
