The road to Fastlane and WrestleMania 31 took yet another turn for Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns this week on Monday Night RAW from the Amway Center in Orlando -- to the tune of a wild brawl to end the show.

In the main event, Bryan took on Big Show with Reigns at ringside and the leader of the "Roman Empire" signed autographs and took pictures with fans during the match to be disrespectful to Bryan.

Referees separated Bryan and Reigns from an all-out brawl and the two stared at the WrestleMania 31 sign hanging above the arena and shook hands to a heated reaction before brawling again, this tim through the crowd, as the show went off the air.
Reigns defeated Kane with Bryan looking on at ringside after he speared him on the outside and rolled back in as the referee counted Kane out. Bryan and Reigns had a stare down and talked trash to each other after the match as Bryan started a "Yes" chant to get under Reigns' skin.
Elsewhere, Triple H came out to address Sting and talked about a WWE vs. WCW face-to-face showdown at Fastlane.
Ric Flair then came down and warned Triple H about Sting after all of their battles in WCW. Flair said that Triple H hasn't wrestled in a long time and should be careful getting involved with Sting.
"The Game" said it doesn't matter, Sting disappeared after WCW went under in 2001 and he is going to kick his a--. Flair then said he didn't want to see Triple H on the ground again on Fastlane like he was last week and Triple H shoved him down, saying if anyone stands in the way of him and the WWE, he's going to kick their a--.
The WWE continued to build toward the John Cena vs. Rusev United States Championship match at Fastlane on Sunday.
Cena opened up RAW and talked trash about Rusev, saying he will be the first man to ever defeat him this Sunday. Rusev and Lana then came out and talked down Cena, saying that they will crush him at Fastlane.
The segment ended with the two brawling and Cena getting the upper-hand by throwing Rusev into the set twice and then standing over his prone body.
The WWE also furthered the breakup between Stardust and Goldust. Dusty Rhodes got Goldust and Stardust to hug and unite after telling Cody that family is the most important thing. Rhodes told his two sons to stand together.
That was all moot, however, as Goldust was pinned in the team's tag team match with The New Day and then after the bout, Stardust helped him up only to lay him out with Cross Rhodes.
Elsewhere, Seth Rollins battled Dolph Ziggler and lost by DQ after J&J Security got involved following the Zig Zag. The three heels beat on Ziggler after the match, but Ryback and Erick Rowan made the save. Rollins was able to escape, but the Stooges were beaten down by the three faces.
Bray Wyatt also continued his promos that appear to be directed at The Undertaker, especially after the last one featured him hammering nails into a coffin.
