RAW is broken. Brock Lesnar is never on the show. The Tag Team Division is flaccid. Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax is getting boring fast-thank you Natalya. Seth Rollins and Elias is the only thing worth watching and even that isn’t that good. With Money in the Bank just two weeks away, it doesn’t appear that anything is going to fix RAW.
Matches:
Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns vs. Elias Sampson and Jinder Mahal w/Sunil Singh: Elias got the win with a DDT on a chair and the Drift Away in a match that took entirely too long.
Curt Hawkins vs. James Harding: Baron Corbin joined the match and took out Harding with the End of Days to give Hawkins the loss via DQ.
WWE RAW Women’s Champion Nia Jax vs. Nattie Neidhart: Jax won with the Samoan Drop after Neidhart “injured†her knee. After the match, Ronda Rousey escorted Neidhart to the back.
Boddy Roode vs. Braun Strowman: Strowman broke a ladder in half with his bare hands and won with the Running Powerslam.
Tag Team Battle Royal: Winner Gets RAW Tag Team Title Shot: Breezango: Tyler Breeze and Fandango vs. Heath Slater and Rhyno vs. Titus O’Neil and Apollo Crews w/Dana Brooke vs. The Revival: Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson vs.Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre vs. The Ascension: Konnor and Viktor vs. The B-Team:Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel: After McIntyre and Ziggler were shockingly eliminated, the B-Team hung in to get a surprising win.
Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks and Ember Moon vs. The Riott Squad: Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan: Bayley got the win with the Belly-To-Bayley on Logan after Bliss skipped out on the match.
Kevin Owens vs. Finn Balor: Owens got the loss via DQ after he stomped Balor after the ref told him to stop. After the bell, Owens hit the Frog Splash on Balor for the exclamation mark, but Balor got the last laugh with the Coup de Grace from the top of the ladder.
