If you missed RAW last night then you missed a good one. Vince McMahon made a return to RAW to deal with Roman Reigns after his brutal assault of Triple H at WWE TLC Sunday night. Vince agreed to give Reigns another Title shot against Sheamus but if he failed to win the Title he would be FIRED! Reigns went on to defeat Sheamus to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, after Vince got involved and Reigns took out Vince with a Superman Punch.
RAW also got taken to the Extreme last night in Philadelphia when the ECW originals faced The Wyatt Family in a awesome Extreme Rules match. Even though The Wyatt Family got the win, it was a awesome match.
Here is some video from last night’s RAW:
If you was wondering why King Barrett was absent on the WWE TLC pay-per-view when the League of Nation did a run-in during the WWE World Heavyweight Championship TLC Match after appearing on the TLC pre-show and was nowhere to be seen last night on RAW, it’s because apparently he is injured. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio reports that Barrett is injured and it likely occurred before the TLC pre-show.
How Barrett was injured and the severity of his injury is still yet not known, there should be more details coming later.
Barrett last wrestled at last week’s Tribute to the Troops taping, where he teamed with Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, Rusev & The Wyatt Family against Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, The Dudley Boyz, The Usos, Ryback & Kane.

Daniel Bryan recently spoke to the New Paper in Singapore while doing promotional work for WWE. During the interview he indicated that his WWE career could be over.
Speaking about his injury Bryan said: “I think it could be the end of my career in WWE, but I don’t think it will be the end of my career. I could find another passion, but it would be sad because this is what I have been most passionate about since I was five.”
Daniel Bryan has been cleared by a reputable doctor who has worked the super Bowl for the NFL, but he has yet to be cleared by the WWE.
Bryan said he had a discussion with John Cena about it something were to happen to him and the WWE, would he go back to doing the indies. Bryan said, “Absolutely.”
Bryan said there is no way to know how this is going to play out until WWE makes the call, we’ll just have to wait and see.
