Roman Reigns won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 32 on Sunday, and he made his way to the ring on Raw and said that anyone who wanted his WWE Title should come down and get it. Chris Jericho answered the call, followed by AJ Styles, followed by Kevin Owens, followed by Sami Zayn. Everyone started fighting so Reigns left. Shane McMahon later announced that a fatal 4 way match would main event Raw, and Jericho, Styles, Zayn and Kevin Owens would be fighting for the number 1 contendership.
Kevin Owens later beat Sami Zayn down and hit him with a powerbomb through a table backstage. It was announced during the main event that the match would still be a fatal 4 way and that Cesaro was the man that would be replacing Sami Zayn.
Cesaro owned most of the match as he completely dominated the other three guys. Seriously it was like bizarro world and Cesaro was made to look like Super-Cena. It was great.

The ending came when Cesaro got Jericho in the Sharpshooter and then AJ Styles broke it up with the Pheomenal Forearm. Kevin Owens then rolled Styles up but he kicked out and hit him with a Pele Kick. Jericho then came out of nowhere and hit Styles with a Codebreaker but Styles kicked out.
The crowd chanted “This is awesome!” and Jericho told them to shut up. Jericho went for a backslide but AJ Styles reversed it into the Styles Clash for the victory.
