R-Truth vs. King Barrett

Up next on the WWE Battleground “go-home” edition of WWE RAW is another singles contest. R-Truth makes his way out to the ring, as does King Barrett, his opponent for this evening.

The match doesn’t last long, as Barrett got in some offense, but Truth pulled out the victory out of nowhere.

Winner: R-Truth

Cesaro vs. Kevin Owens vs. Rusev

Up next is WWE United States Champion John Cena. Cena makes his way to the ring expecting a U.S. Open Challenge, however Rusev ends up coming out.

Rusev cuts a promo until he is interrupted as well by former NXT Champion Kevin Owens. Cesaro immediately comes out next and a fight breaks out between these three as Cena leaves the ring. We head to a commercial break.

When we return from the break, Cena is on commentary and Cesaro, Owens and Rusev are competing in a triple-threat match. Owens ends up walking backstage and saying he’s had enough and he’ll see Cena this Sunday. We head to a mid-match commercial.

We’re back from the break and Owens has not returned, so he is out of this match one would presume. Rusev ends up scoring the victory and becoming the number one contender. He will get his shot against Cena next.
