The Superstars of Monday Night Raw put on a Live Event in Tokyo, and the marquee attraction was Chris Jericho’s second match since he was written off television on the May 02, 2017, episode of SmackDown Live. The rest of the card was fairly standard and featured defences of the Cruiserweight and Raw Tag Team Championships. The main event featured a singles match between Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt.
Without any further ado, here are the results from the show.
