Tonight's Raw is the last before the second Roadblock event of the year. Only this one is called Roadblock: End of the Line. Tonight, we find out whether The New Day will go into Roadblock as the longest-reigning tag team champions in WWE history as they defend against Cesaro and Sheamus and Gallows and Anderson in a triple threat tag match and also an incredibly confusing sentence for anyone who doesn't know tag team names. Also, other stuff!

Press F5 or refresh for more updates.

Raw opens with the usual graphic.

The New Day enter.

E: "Tonight, we join the immortals!"

Kofi: "Tonight, we've got a chance to break a record that has stood for over 25 years."

Woods: "Tonight, we have a chance to propel not only ourselves but also anyone who has ever worn a New Day t-shirt. To propel anyone who has ever chanted, 'New Day rocks!' We have a chance to propel everyone who has ever supported us, whether they are still with us today or whether they have passed."

Kofi: "Tonight is for you, grandma."

Woods: "But the last thing that stands in our way is one more triple threat tag team match. But honestly, guys, what does that even mean? People across the world have referred to The New Day as a triple threat."

Kofi: "It's true. I mean, you look at Xavier, the brains the wisdom. You look at me, I'm very smooth. That's the finesse, not to mention I am very handsome."

E: "And me, I'm the big, meaty third leg."

Woods: "And in a triple threat tag, we have not one, but two tag teams that are vying to become your WWE World Tag Team Champions!"

Kofi: "So let's bring out our opponents, so that The New Day can take their place in tag team history, baby!"

E: "But why? Because..."

And they let the crowd finish.

Backstage, partygoers, who include Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley, await the arrival of The New Day. They arrive, Stephanie offers a toast to the longest-reigning tag champs of all time before Xavier Woods accidentally gets champagne in her eyes.

"My apologies, congratulations on your victory. How do you feel about Sami Zayn's tweet demanding a match with you, 'or else'?"

"From up here, he (Axel) looks like Sami Zayn. He can't hang with me, and neither can anyone else!"

Backstage, Sami Zayn confronts Mick Foley and demands the match again. Mick says he can't. Zayn says he can, but he won't, but no one needs to save him, just like no one had to save Mick. Mick admits he sometimes wishes someone had stopped him, and says that Braun is playing a completely different game. He offers him any match, a championship match, but not Braun.

Daivari and Gallagher brawl on the floor.

They fight back in the ring, Gallagher headbutts him to the floor. THAT WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER!

Sponsored by the movie Sing, they show Stone Cold singing to Vince McMahon in 2001.

Seth Rollins hits the ring for the Rollins Report. "Philadelphia, welcome to the Rollins Report! Now, last week I stood in this ring and I said it loud and clear, but I figured you good people, you needed to hear it again, so I'm going to say it again, and again, and again, until it goes through his thick skull, I want HHH! I laid it out last week, my path to redemption goes through Kevin Owens and the Universal Title, but I can't isolate Kevin Owens until I get rid of his... maybe best friend? Chris Jericho. But I have the chance at Roadblock to get rid of Chris Jericho, but I need to ask the question tonight, is it Seth Rollins vs. Chris Jericho or Seth Rollins vs. Chris Jericho with Kevin Owens? Only my guest tonight has the answer tonight, so introducing my guest tonight, Kevin Owens."

Owens hits the scene, then pulls out a chair and sits on the ramp.

Seth: "Kev, what are you doing, I've got this stool set up in the ring for you, why are you all the way out there, can you not go to the ring without Chris Jericho holding your hand?"

"I'm sitting in a stool, that's all you can hope for. I really don't care about your Rollins Report, I'm just out here to make an announcement."

"But we all have to know, how is your friendship with Chris Jericho? I mean, it has to be strained, right?"

"I was talking to Stephanie McMahon--"

"Come on, we have to know. I mean, I know it's a little fuzzy, I Pedigreed you last week, but then you disobeyed the wishes of your best friend and cost him a shot at the US Title."

"Look, all you have to know is that Chris Jericho has my back, and I have his in his match on Sunday. Now as far as my announcement, and I really hope you don't interrupt me again--"

"Or what?"

"Or I'll break your face. After what The New Day pulled, Stephanie McMahon decided to put them in another tag team title match tonight, and that's against Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho."

Jericho comes out with the list. "Kevin, I need to ask you a question right now: Are you crazy? Hmm? Do you really think after what you did last week, when you cost me the United States Championship against Roman Reigns, and the week before that when you told me to shut up, do you really think I would agree to be your tag team partner tonight or ever again?"

Owens: "Look, maybe I should've listened to you last week, but you can't keep thinking about the past. Tonight, we not only have the chance to become tag team champions, we could ruin The New Day's chances of breaking the record. Think about it. You can think about it all you want, but Stephanie made the match, it's going to happen, so you can either stew or we can win the tag team titles tonight."

Seth: "Look, it sounds like Kevin is trying to tell you what to do. He's so bent on this reunion between Bon Jovi and Meatloaf, he wants to manage it."

Chris: "You stay out of it!"

Seth: "Or what? You going to come down here, Sparklecrotch? You going to put me on the list? Or what?"

Chris: "You know what happens? You know what happens when people talk to me like that? You wanna know what happens when people make requests like that? You wanna know what happens? Yo-- I'll put you on the list alright. The disabled list."

Rusev hits the ring. "Ever since I got here, I have destroyed all your American heroes one by one. But last week, last week was different. Last week, I took out an American trash! Week after week, Enzo Amore comes out here running his mouth about how he's Certified G? And not until last week, I realized what the G stands for. It's for garbage! And after I took the human garbage out in the hallway and I close the hotel room behind me, we and Lana... did our business. You know what I'm saying? Me and Lana took care of business. And would you like to see what I'm talking about? Yes? Yes? Then let's see it! I should warn you, though, the footage you're going to see tonight, it's a little bit edgy. It's a little bit out there."

"We should warn you, the footage is a little bit sensitive. So, children, close your eyes. Are you ready to see what we do behind closed doors? Are you ready to see what I do behind closed doors?"

They just show a replay of the segment last week.

Lana: "This footage, it is just so good. It makes me so happy. It warms my heart. Wait, did all of you actually think that Rusev and I were going to show you what we do behind closed doors?"

"You think we're that stupid?"

"All of you are so gullible. Just like that stupid Enzo Amore. He actually thought that he had a shot with me, when every week, I come out here and say that Rusev is the only man that can have me. He is so delusional and pathetic. Just like every one of you."

"But my beautiful wife, she came up with a plan. A plan to corner that little mouse, right there in the corner, and when the time was right, bam! I crushed that little mouse! You need to understand that Lana is my wife, and if anyone disrespects her, I will crush you!"

"C-R-U-S-H-E-D, CRUSHED!"

Big Cass comes out. "Rusev, last week you gave Enzo the beating of a lifetime. And right now, he's at home recovering, he's got ice all over his body. Enzo, he likes to run his mouth, but at least he's got the balls to back it up. And last week, you caught him with his pants down. But as for tonight, this isn't a hotel room, my pants are on, and me? I'm not Enzo."

Rusev tries to cut Cass off as he enters the ring, Cass quickly rebounds, Rusev double-legs him, it doesn't take, Rusev tackles him to the floor, they keep brawling, Rusev eventually retreats.

Backstage, Kevin Owens is venting to Chris Jericho about Seth and Roman being added to the match. He says it's always going to be them against the world, Jericho says focus on tonight.

Mick Foley hits the ring with a clipboard. Raw goes to commercial.

After a commercial, Mick speaks. "Well I've... just gotten off the phone with Daniel Bryan. And although it took a lot of negotiation, it was determined that we will be trading you to Smackdown Live for a talent of equal value. All you have to do is sign on the line. This is what you want, right?"

"Well, Mick, that all depends on one thing: Are you going to give me the match with Braun Strowman or not?"

"Sami, you act like you need this match with Braun Strowman, but you and I both know you don't want this match with Braun Strowman. The answer is no."

"Then that's all I need to know."

"But before you sign on the dotted line, wouldn't you at least like to know who this talent is? The talent we've assessed to be of equal value? Daniel Bryan has agreed to trade you, straight up, for Eva Marie."

"Eva Marie, Mick? I'm worth a hundred Eva Maries, a thousand Eva Maries, and what blows my mind is that you don't get me! Because you used to be me! How many times did anyone tell you that you couldn't do it? How many times did they tell you no? I'm sick of paying for your mistakes!"

"What do you want?"

"I want Braun Strowman!"

"How bad do you want Braun?"

"Give! Me! Braun! Strowman!"

"I want you to remember this moment! I want you to remember how angry you feel in this moment! Because you're going to need it this Sunday night when you go one on one with Braun Strowman! There was never a trade. I wouldn't trade you for anything. I believe in you, I like you. But I needed to know if you could tap into that dark part of your soul to come up with what it took! Braun Strowman said you wouldn't last two minutes. I'm giving you ten minutes. Ten minutes to prove to me, to Stephanie McMahon, to the WWE Universe why you belong."

Jericho acknowledges that Owens is right, then leaves the ring. Owens turns directly into a spear before Reigns holds both championships above his head and Raw goes off the air.

Both championships other than the Tag Team Championships, that is, because, as is now indisputable fact, NEW! DAY ROCKS! NEW! DAY ROCKS! GET THE BOOTY-OS!
