WWE Raw: Live Results, Reaction and Analysis for January 5

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage for WWE Raw on Jan. 5.

As the first Raw of 2015, this week's show needs to get the year started on the right foot. Dean Ambrose will battle Bray Wyatt in the first Ambulance match to ever take place on Raw, The Authority will return to power and more participants could be revealed for the Royal Rumble.

Speaking of the Rumble pay-per-view, Daniel Bryan revealed last week that not only was he cleared to compete but that he would be entering this year's big Battle Royal for another chance to headline WrestleMania and challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Last week's show closed out 2014 in a big way with The Usos winning tag team gold and John Cena being forced to reinstate Triple H and Stephanie McMahon to their positions of power. Hopefully the first Raw of the year will continue to deliver one surprise after another.

Who will leave Raw in the back of an ambulance?

How will The Authority punish those who they feel have done them wrong?

Will John Cena see any backlash from the rest of the roster for succumbing to Seth Rollins' threats last week?

Which team will have to suffer the wrath of The Ascension?

And lastly, who else will claim a spot in the Royal Rumble match?

Make sure to bookmark this page and come back Monday night at the start of WWE Raw at 8 p.m. ET. Bleacher Report will have answers to these questions and live coverage of all the action.
