Erick Rowan vs. Aleister Black

Monday Night Raw February 24

The attack on Aleister Black in the backstage area is impacting Black’s mobility and allowing Rowan to take advantage. With Black struggling on the floor, Raw went to a commercial. Back from the break, Rowan hit a sit down ura nage. Black countered a suplex with a knee strike and a rollup, but he couldn’t get a pin on Rowan. After a number of additional strikes and a moonsault, Black got a near fall. Rowan answered with a jackhammer and a short-arm clothesline for a pair of near falls.

On the outside, Rowan ran full speed at Black. Black moved and Rowan hit the stairs knocking the cage to the floor. Rowan ran into the ring and Black hit Black Mass twice for the pinfall victory.
