BIG CASS VS. RUSEV (2016)

WWE ROADBLOCK - END OF THE LINE

BIG CASS VS. RUSEV

Big Cass pranked his buddy Enzo by locking him out of showers naked. The nude-and-censored Enzo came across Lana, which annoyed Rusev. For weeks, Enzo would talk up how Lana wanted him and would be silenced by Rusev outright annihilating him. This came to a head when Lana seduced Enzo and tricked him into going to her hotel room, only to have Rusev ambush him and lay him out. With his partner sidelined, Cass intends on getting revenge.

SAMI ZAYN VS. BRAUN STROWMAN (2016)

WWE ROADBLOCK - END OF THE LINE

SAMI ZAYN VS. BRAUN STROWMAN

10-Minute Time Limit

Sami Zayn has been trying to pick a fight against Braun Strowman for months, contrasted with Strowman's desire to crush stronger opponents. Strowman feels Zayn is beneath him and Mick Foley feels that such a match would end Zayn's career. After lots and lots of heated demands, Zayn was constantly refused this match. Foley pretended he was going to trade Zayn to SmackDown, but it was really a ruse to get him even more pissed and motivated.

Considering how dominant Strowman's been, Foley added a time limit just to show how Zayn can at least go the distance.

SETH ROLLINS VS. CHRIS JERICHO (2016)

WWE ROADBLOCK - END OF THE LINE

SETH ROLLINS VS. CHRIS JERICHO

Part of the reason Jericho didn’t help Owens during that non-title match against Roman Reigns was because Seth Rollins attacked him in the parking lot and Pedigreed him onto the top of a car. This was payback for months upon months of Jericho interfering in Owens’ matches. In the week that followed, Owens had this match signed in hopes that Jericho could get revenge and would therefore smooth over their relationship. Jericho seemed to be done with their friendship, but Owens kept screwing things up in attempt to get back in his good graces.

In the end, this and the Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens match are less about the faces and more about the broken relationship of Jericho and Owens. Really, there's no longer much of a reason for this very match to happen by this point. Rollins got his revenge and Jericho's more mad at Owens. Go figure

TJ PERKINS VS. RICH SWANN (C) VS. THE BRIAN KENDRICK

WWE Cruiserweight Championship

In the debut episode of 205 Live, Rich Swann defeated Brian Kendrick for the Cruiserweight Championship. A week later, he won again in a rematch. Former champion TJ Perkins was doing commentary at the time and afterwards, Kendrick attacked him out of anger. The three started brawling and a Triple Threat was signed.

The three have faced off in singles matches after the announcment, giving us Kendrick defeating Perkins and Perkins defeating Swann. Kind of a rock, paper, scissors thing going on.

30-Minute Iron Man Match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship

KEVIN OWENS (C) VS. ROMAN REIGNS (2016)

KEVIN OWENS (C) VS. ROMAN REIGNS

WWE Universal Championship

Recently, Roman Reigns won the United States Championship from Rusev and promptly retained it in the rematch. Since then, Reigns has barely acknowledged that he’s even US Champ and doesn’t even defend it. And people call him the next John Cena.

Kevin Owens has been able to thwart Seth Rollins’ constant attempts to win his Universal Championship due to constant help from Owens’ BFF Chris Jericho. Reigns confronted Owens about a title shot and in the middle of it, Owens snapped at Jericho. Jericho took offense and left. Without Jericho around, Owens faced Reigns in a non-title match. Reigns ended up winning, making their Roadblock match official.
