Roadblock: End of the Line - The LIVE Results



Host of Jim & Sam on Sirius and XM and professional wrestling podcaster Sam Roberts guests on the pre-show.

Sami Zayn appears in the Social Media Lounge to field some questions. He is a little bit worried but very aware of what Braun Strowman is capable of. Sami says Braun should be strategizing against him, not the other way around. He's not like anyone he's wrestled before, as he refuses to stay down. He says this match is probably the most important of his career.

The WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament will take place Saturday and Sunday, January 14th and 15th, live on the WWE Network.

Rusev beats Big Cass by count-out thanks to Lana, who distracts Enzo as Rusev and Cass fight in the crowd. Rusev plows through Enzo from behind, then Cass checks on him, causing Rusev to get into the ring before the ten count before Cass.



Sheamus and Cesaro beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) by countering Xavier Woods' constant interference with a fake tag to win the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships, ending The New Day's record-breaking reign at 480 days. The New Day (Kofi, Big E, Woods) hand the belts to the winning team, and while Cesaro hugs The New Day out of respect, Sheamus takes the belts and celebrates with them in the corner as Cesaro celebrates in the audience.



Charly Caruso interviews Kevin Owens backstage...and instantly gets insulted as Owens says he is better than The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) and definitely better than Roman Reigns, which is why he is the longest-reigning WWE Universal Champion. When asked if his strained relationship with Chris Jericho will play a factor in his match tonight, Owens tells her that the only thing she needs to know is that he and Jericho are best friends unconditionally. Chris Jericho then shows up, and Owens tries to make up for last week by giving him a red-and-white striped scarf, but Jericho tosses it back into Owens' face.

Sami Zayn survives ten minutes with Braun Strowman. During the match, Raw General Manager Mick Foley shows up with a white towel ready to throw it in on Sami Zayn's behalf, but Sami Zayn takes the towel and throws it into the audience to keep him from doing that.



Seth Rollins beats Chris Jericho after Kevin Owens' interference attempt backfires, and Jericho admonishes Owens only to run into a jumping knee from Rollins just before the Pedigree.



Rich Swann retains the WWE Cruiserweight Championship against TJ Perkins and Brian Kendrick. After the match, Neville shows up for the first time in months, then attacks Rich Swann, turning heel in the process. He also attacks TJ Perkins, as well.



Backstage, Kevin Owens tries to talk to Chris Jericho, but Jericho won't open his door. Owens explains that he's just trying to save their friendship, then just tells Jericho to put his name on The List if it makes him feel better, then tells him that best friends make accidents and forgive each other. When he doesn't get an answer, Owens comes to the realization that maybe they aren't best friends anymore.

Charlotte beats Sasha Banks 3-2 in sudden death overtime in a 30-Minute Iron Man Match with a Figure Eight after weakening Sasha Banks'to win the WWE Raw Women's Championship for a fourth time. Trainers have to help Sasha to the back after the match.



Royal Rumble hits pay-per-view and WWE Network on January 29th!

Members of the Pittsburgh Steelers can be seen in the front row.

Kevin Owens beats Roman Reigns by disqualification and retains the WWE Universal Championship after Chris Jericho shows up and hits Owens with a Codebreaker. After the match, it is revealed that Jericho and Owens are still friends, and as they make their way out, they are met by Seth Rollins. Rollins hits a Pedigree on Jericho while Roman hits a Spear on Owens, then Jericho gets powerbombed by both Rollins and Reigns through a commentary table. Rollins and Reigns then focus on Owens, who almost makes it to the back only to be powerbombed through the English commentary table. Roman and Rollins stand tall to end the show.
