Here are the RAW spoilers for Monday's episode from Detroit, MI courtesy of Kaitlin and Kevin:

- Titus O'Neil defeated Curt Hawkins for Main event.

- The Revival defeated Tyler Breeze and Zack Ryder for Main Event.

- RAW kicked off with Dolph Ziggler vs. Drew McIntyre inside a steel cage. The crowd was firmly behind Ziggler with "let's go Ziggler" chants. McIntyre picked up the win with two straight claymore kicks in a row. McIntyre attacked Ziggler with a chair after the match and verbally taunted Ziggler. McIntyre proclaimed himself to be the "King of the RAW Jungle" and declared himself as a Royal Rumble entrant.

- Video footage was shown of Triple H and Shane McMahon arriving to the arena by car.

- Seth Rollins came out and wanted a rematch with Dean Ambrose for the IC Title. This led to Triple H coming out and stating that there would be no automatic rematch. Triple H said that Rollins would have to fight Bobby Lashley for an opportunity. Shane McMahon then came out and said there would be a "fresh start" battle royal with the winner facing Ambrose.

- The battle royal participants included Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins, Lucha House Party, Titus O'Neil, Tyler Breeze, B-Team, Ascension, Apollo, and Mojo Rawley. No Way Jose, Finn Balor, and Baron Corbin got entrances. Jose was the first one eliminated. Balor got eliminated and there were heavy boos. Apollo won when he eliminated Corbin.

- Backstage, Natalya entered the women's Royal Rumble match. Nia Jax and Tamina attacked her.

- Baron Corbin complained about the battle royal and stated that it wasn't fair. Corbin said nobody deserves change more than him and Corbin was interrupted by Elias. There were "you're a loser" chants at Corbin. Corbin and Elias ended up fighting in the crowd. Corbin retreated and Elias stood tall.

- Bayley, Sasha Banks, and Ember Moon defeated The Riott Squad when Bayley pinned Sarah Logan. Ruby has a short haircut. The crowd heat was said to be weak for this match compared to earlier parts of the show.

- Bobby Lashley defeated Seth Rollins by DQ when Rollins used a chair. Lio Rush had been interfering during the match and Rollins finally had enough. Rollins took out both of them with the chair.

- Jinder Mahal and the Singh Brothers defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno in a handicapped match when Mahal pinned Rhyno. The crowd was said to be indifferent to the match.

The crowd wasn't impressed with a match they've seen every Monday night for the past 8 months

I mentioned that it’s 8 months and counting.

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Absolution/Riot Squad have been in indefinite limbo since Paige was forced to retire and it shows. Just pull them off TV until you can come up with something interesting for them. Jeez!

 

[Flex Luger]

Bayley and Sasha are STILL fighting the Riott Squad.

But see they added Ember so it's a fresh matchup
