The latest episode of "Monday Night Raw" took place at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida on Monday evening. Just one night after "WrestleMania 33" took place, it was time for "Raw." A rowdy crowd let it be known that they were thankful for Undertaker after what appeared to be his last match the night before. They also let Roman Reigns have it when he finally arrived out and after 10 minutes of chants, Reigns told everyone it was his yard now. Here are the rest of the WWE "Raw" results from Monday's show.
Latest WWE results
One night after winning the tag team titles at "WrestleMania," Matt and Jeff Hardy were back to defend the titles in a rematch for the former champs Gallows and Anderson.
The Hardyz grabbed a victory in the finale of the match by hitting their big moves Twist of Fate and the Swanton Bomb.
In singles action, Neville defeated Mustafa Ali in a non-title match. Neville also announced he'd be having a proper celebration for his WWE Cruiserweight championship reign on tomorrow night's "205 Live."
A team consisting of Bayley, Sasha Banks and Dana Brooke defeated Charlotte, Nia Jax, and the debuting Emma. Sasha got the win with the Banks Statement on Charlotte. Post-match, Charlotte got mad at her teammates but ended up being laid out on the mat by an angry Nia Jax.
Cesaro and Sheamus won a No. 1 contenders match against the team of Enzo Amore and Big Cass. With the win, it puts them as the top team to face The Hardy Boyz.

Backstage, Zayn talked to Kurt Angle about establishing a similar relationship with him as he had with the former GM Mick Foley. Jinder Mahal interrupted and complained about Gronk costing him last night's Battle Royal win.
Sami and Jinder argued, leading to Angle booking a match. Later, Sami Zayn defeated Jinder Mahal via pinfall despite Jinder attacking Zayn before he could even get into the ring.
Big surprises
Vince McMahon returned to WWE "Raw" and announced there would be a major shakeup involving "Raw" and "SmackDown" rosters next week. He said "Raw" also needed a new GM and then introduced Kurt Angle to the fans' delight.
Angle was already in action as GM during the night later, as he booked a match between Sami Zayn and Jinder Mahal.
In another surprise, former NXT tag team champions The Revival (Dash and Dawson) made a big debut on "Raw." They responded to New Day's open challenge to the locker room and ended up grabbing a big win over Xavier Woods and Big E in their debut.
Brock Lensar arrived out to the ring with his new WWE Universal Championship belt he won at last night's PPV. After Paul Heyman discussed how they got rid of Goldberg from the picture, he discussed who might be next for Lesnar. The name Roman Reigns came up and Heyman suggested maybe they should settle the "who's better" question tonight.
Braun Strowman came out and told Brock he's got his attention now that he has the WWE Universal title. After a staredown, Strowman backed away and left the ring.
The main event was scheduled to feature the team of Seth Rollins and Chris Jericho taking on Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe. However, the heel duo attacked Jericho backstage and took him out of the situation. Kurt Angle told Rollins backstage that Jericho was in no condition to go tonight, so he'd find him a new partner. To Rollins' surprise, later on, Finn Balor made his big return to the ring to be his tag team partner.

The show closed out with a great match between four former NXT Champions facing off in tag team action.
In the end, Samoa Joe put the Coquina Clutch on Balor, but Rollins made a save and took out Joe. Kevin Owens delivered a big kick to drop Rollins to the mat. Moments later, Finn dropkicked Owens against the corner turnbuckles. With Owens laid out on the mat, Balor climbed to the top rope and hit his big finisher, Coup de Gras for the win. After the match, Balor and Rollins stared at each other a bit before Seth raised Finn's arm in victory to close out "Raw."
