Monday Night Raw Results 5/25/15: Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins Set Elimination Chamber Match

The May 25, 2015 edition of WWE's Monday Night Raw emanates live on Memorial Day from the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. This is the final WWE event from this arena, which is closing its doors, and it finalized the match between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on Sunday at Elimination Chamber.

The show begins with the bell tolling 10 times in memory of those who have lost their lives defending the United States. The Authority hits the ring and Rollins tells the crowd to applaud for Ambrose for acting like a common thug and extorting them for a WWE World Heavyweight Championship shot on Sunday at Elimination Chamber. He says they could cancel the title shot or even fire Ambrose, but Rollins convinced Triple H not to do it because Ambrose isn't even a threat. Hunter tells Ambrose he needs to come out and sign a contract for the match.

Ambrose appears on the stage and cracks a few jokes at the Authority's expense, but Rollins shoots back that Ambrose will always be a loser. Ambrose heads to the ring to sign the papers, and Roman Reigns' music hits. Stephanie McMahon decides to book a tag team match on the spot: Reigns and Ambrose against Rollins and Kane. Ambrose pins Reigns with a backslide.

Renee Young interviews Ambrose and reminds him about the contract. J&J Security show up and taunt him by not bringing the paperwork, so he attacks them and hits a cameraman, as well.

We see a video package about Kevin Owens.

Rusev squashes R-Truth and then calls out Lana. She emerges, and he says he still cares about her. He asks her to rejoin him, and she takes his hand. He asks her to say the three little words "I was wrong." This sets her off and she tells him she will not deal with his pigheaded ways anymore. She leaves, and Dolph Ziggler shows up on the ramp. The two kiss as Rusev loses it in the ring.

Dean Ambrose is backstage when Triple H and Rollins bring him the contract. The cameraman he hit walks in with two cops, and Triple H asks if Ambrose assaulted him. He says yes but adds that he felt something on his back. Rollins quiets him, and the cops arrest Ambrose.

Ryback defeats King Barrett in a short match.

Triple H and Stephanie are backstage and they discuss that Ambrose cannot possibly make it back in time to sign the contract. The cast of Entourage comes in and the conversation gets uncomfortable when they bring up Ronda Rousey. They leave quickly.

Stardust comes out for a match and he gets in the face of Arrow star Stephen Amell, who is sitting in the front row. Is my dream of Amell in a WWE ring going to come true?! Neville comes out and beats Stardust with the Red Arrow (or Green Arrow, in this case?). Afterwards, Bo Dallas comes out, tells Neville to Bo-Lieve, attacks his knee, and does a victory lap.

The Entourage guys run into Summer Rae, Layla, Emma, and Alicia Fox, but the guys have business with Zack Ryder.

Sheamus defeats Ziggler when Rusev comes out and walks past Lana, who was at ringside watching the match. He distracts Ziggler, which allows Sheamus to tag him with a Brogue Kick and pick up the win. Rusev locks in the Accolade on Ziggler after the match and screams at Lana.

John Cena hits the ring for his weekly United States Championship Open Challenge but he first talks a bit about Memorial Day and Nassau Coliseum. He turns his attention to NXT Champion Kevin Owens and says he knows those who chant "Cena sucks" will be chanting "Fight Owens Fight" on Sunday at Elimination Chamber. But "Fight Owens Fight" does not equal "Win Owens Win" and he will become the latest hopeful to come up short against the champ. He then begins the open challenge.

The Entourage cast comes out to introduce the challenger: Zack Ryder! The hometown boy puts up a good fight and hits the Broski Boot, the Killswitch, and the Rough Ryder, but Cena eventually puts him down with the Attitude Adjustment after Ryder misses a 450 splash off the top rope. Cena, Ryder, and the cast celebrate in the ring after the bell, but Owens attacks Cena with a pop-up powerbomb after the other men leave. He hoists his NXT Championship belt over Cena's body.

Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and Seth Rollins discuss Owens backstage when Renee Young asks about the Dean Ambrose situation. Stephanie says all he has to do is sign, if he can make it back.

Tamina Snuka defeats Paige after Naomi slaps her, which allows Tamina to hit a Samoan Drop. Nikki Bella and Brie Bella were on commentary for this one.

The New Day comes out to complain about their WWE Tag Team Championship match inside the Elimination Chamber on Sunday, and they take a few shots at Nassau Coliseum and Long Island. Kane comes out and books them in a 10-on-3 match right now against the other five teams in the match. All five teams wind up attacking at the same time to give The New Day the win by disqualification, and it devolves into a brawl with Tyson Kidd and Cesaro left standing.

The Authority comes out and mock Ambrose for getting arrested and proving he's a lunatic. Roman Reigns' music hits and he rushes the ring, but is quickly overwhelmed by the numbers. A siren goes off and Ambrose, in full police gear, drives a police truck into the arena. He heads to the ring and the two former Shield members take out The Authority. Ambrose signs the contract and The Authority watches angrily from the stage as the show goes off the air.
