Raw Results: United States Title Defended With a Host of Stipulations

Roman Reigns defended the United States Championship again on Raw–perhaps to make up for his lack of defenses in 2016. His opponent? None other than Chris Jericho.

Earlier in the night, it was decided that this a count out or disqualification would cost Roman the title. A match between Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens also determined that Owens would be banned from ringside. The question remained if this would be too much or too little in the way of odds for Reigns to overcome.

Full results below.

The champ runs Jericho over to start as the fans are split on Reigns. A middle rope dropkick gets two for Jericho so Reigns comes back with his string of clotheslines. Reigns tries the apron dropkick but crashes into the post instead, giving Jericho a near countout as we take a break.

Back with Reigns fighting out of a chinlock and hitting his modified belly to back suplex for two. The Superman Punch is blocked but the Lionsault hits knees. The other finishers are broken up until Jericho grabs the Walls. That lasts as long as you would expect the Walls to last until Jericho goes up top again, only to dive into the Superman Punch for a near fall.

Another spear is broken up and Jericho takes off a turnbuckle pad. That sets up the old Eddie Guerrero grab the belt and pretend to get hit with it spot. The referee doesn’t buy it so instead the Codebreaker gets two. Jericho goes into the exposed buckle and the spear retains the title at 13:06.

Result: Roman Reigns b. Chris Jericho – Spear (13:05)
