Full Raw results, April 11, 2016: Reigns and Wyatt forge uneasy alliance in main event

As Shane-O-Mac kicks off Raw with several blockbuster announcements, The Prizefighter has a bone to pick with WWE's Prodigal Son.

LOS ANGELES — Well, well, look who’s back. Despite all indications that Shane McMahon’s stint as Raw’s de facto showrunner last week was a one-and-done deal, overwhelming fan support handed him the keys to the Corvette for a second consecutive week. Shane picked up exactly where he left off, too, using his “new stars, new opportunities” edict to place Sami Zayn — who was bushwhacked out of last week’s Fatal 4-Way by Kevin Owens — in a match against AJ Styles. A win against Styles would add The Underdog from the Underground to WWE Payback’s WWE World Heavyweight Title Match as a third competitor.

This, unsurprisingly, was met with no shortage of resistance from Owens himself, who took Shane-O-Mac to task for showing favoritism to his former best friend and for not giving him a rematch for the Intercontinental Title he never technically lost. Shane met KO in the middle with an opportunity to become the No. 1 contender to the Intercontinental Championship. Of course, Owens would have to get through Cesaro in the process, but hey, adversity is just opportunity in disguise, right?

The Lucha Dragons battle The Dudley Boyz in the opening match of the No. 1 Contenders' Tag Team Tournament, presented by Booty-O's.

Rough night for The Lucha Dragons. You could even say … booty. And you’d be right to, since the No. 1 Contenders’ Tag Team Tournament that Kalisto & Sin Cara just got bounced out of is officially sponsored by Booty-O’s. (They make sure you ain’t booty.) The team that advanced one step closer to facing The New Day in their place was The Dudley Boyz, who incapacitated Kalisto and fended off a mighty effort from a solo Sin Cara with a 3D for the win.

Things went south for Bubba & D-Von in a hurry, though. Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady chose that moment to make an entrance and verbally clown the ECW Originals for the second week in a row, sending the Dudleys trudging to the showers and leaving no doubt that the newcomers were anything but “sawft.”

The Lucha Dragons and Dudley Boyz start the first round of the No. 1 Contenders' Tag Team Tournament, sponsored by Booty-O's, on Raw.

When The Eater of Worlds unexpectedly assists The Big Dog, Shane McMahon gets some main event inspiration.

So Roman Reigns says he’s the guy. Fair enough. That means he’s got to deal with the pressure. On Monday, said pressure arrived in the form of The League of Nations, now one Englishman light and looking for a rumble with the self-proclaimed face of the company. As the WWE Universe well knows, Reigns has no issue with One Versus All, but The Wyatt Family chose that moment to appear out of thin air and beat The League of Nations back right as they began to overwhelm The Big Dog.

With tensions mounting, Shane McMahon cooled the situation with a compromise by decreeing two of the League’s members would battle in Raw’s main event as a tag team against Roman Reigns and a Superstar who’s both The Big Dog’s sworn enemy and the League’s current scourge: Bray Wyatt. Innnnteresting.

In an intensely competitive clash, The Underdog from the Underground faces The Phenomenal One for the right to be added to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match at WWE Payback.

Looks like Sami Zayn will have to settle for underdog status a little while longer. Faced with a chance to turn the WWE World Heavyweight Title Match at WWE Payback into a Triple Threat, Zayn came up short against Roman Reigns’ current No. 1 Contender, AJ Styles, whose victory assures the main event of Payback will remain a one-on-one affair.

What Styles and Zayn initially implied would be a respectful contest between old friends turned gritty in a hurry. AJ brought the fire against Zayn and Sami responded in kind, thwarting the Styles Clash and lining his foe up for the Helluva Kick. AJ was ready for that, too, dodging the incoming boot and clobbering Zayn with the Phenomenal Forearm for a well-earned win.

Dean Ambrose has some unfortunate news for "The Best in the World at What He Does."

Dean Ambrose has a talk show? Dean Ambrose has a talk show. That means, of course, that Chris Jericho does not, now that the “The Highlight Reel” has been cancelled mid-segment (thanks, Shane!) in favor of The Lunatic Fringe’s new freeform program, “The Ambrose Asylum.”

Despite Jericho’s guess that the show was merely Ambrose’s attempt to pay back the former Undisputed Champion’s own interruption on SmackDown, it turns out “The Ambrose Asylum” is 100 percent legit. And go figure, it’s a hit! And a kick. And a Dirty Deeds to The Ayatollah of Rock ’n’ Rolla, whose attempts to bully Ambrose and his potted plant off the set were cut off by The Lunatic Fringe’s flailing fists. Tune in next week, folks.

The exciting Apollo Crews continues his hot streak against "The Radical Mongoose."

Another win for the Apollo Nation on Raw, as Apollo Crews marked his second straight week out of NXT with a second consecutive Monday night victory, this time over Adam Rose of The Social Outcasts (tough night for those guys). “The Radical Mongoose,” like any mongoose worthy of the name, at least went down kicking and screaming, though technically it was Bo Dallas who did all the screaming on the outside. All the Bo-lief in the world wasn’t enough to propel Dallas’ fellow Outcast to the win, however. Rose put Crews on his back for a moment and had a shot at a small package, but Crews simply muscled his way out of the rollup and landed the Spinning Sit-out Powerbomb to win it.
