WWE Raw results, grades, review: Seth Rollins forced into Clash in Paris match vs. CM Punk, LA Knight, Jey Uso

Despite the bad news, Rollins and his crew left his future opponents down and out to end the show

Seth Rollins and his crew delivered another violent message at the end of Monday's episode of WWE Raw, but the world heavyweight champion was also on the receiving end of some bad news.

After Rollins interfered in a main event match that saw LA Knight and CM Punk team to face Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, Raw general manager Adam Pearce delivered the news that Rollins will have to defend his world heavyweight championship at Clash in Paris. Not only would Rollins have to defend his title, but he would do so in a fatal four-way against Punk, Knight and Jey Uso.

CBS Sports was with you all night with recaps and highlights of all the action from Centre Videotron in Quebec City, Quebec.

Seth Rollins forced into Clash in Paris match vs. CM Punk, LA Knight, Jey Uso

CM Punk and LA Knight came face-to-face to start the show. Tensions were high between the two after Punk caused a disqualification during Knight's world title match with Seth Rollins the previous week. Before things could escalate too far, Paul Heyman interrupted with Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed in tow. After exchanging words, a challenge was thrown down for a tag match later in the night. Rollins was backstage, where he told Heyman he was going to leave and told Reed and Breakker to stack some bodies.

CM Punk & LA Knight def. Bronson Reed & Bron Breakker via disqualification. Rollins ran in late in the match and attacked Punk. Jey Uso ran in to save Punk and Knight, but before the show went off the air, Adam Pearce entered and told Rollins he would have to defend his title against Uso, Knight and Punk at Clash in Paris. Knight and Punk exchanged words before they began to brawl, leaving an opening for Rollins, Reed and Breakker to run into the ring and take out all three, finishing with Rollins hitting all three with stomps.

Raw feels as though every week ends the same way, with Rollins and his crew putting the show's top babyfaces down. It's an effective enough way to get a heel group established as dominant, but it would help to have the good guys stand tall from time to time. The four-way match for Clash in Paris is a solid addition to the card, but four-ways are no disqualification, so it sets up for more of the same at the next PLE. Grade: B-

Sheamus then followed through on his promise and attacked Rusev after the match, leading to another brawl between the two.
