This week was all Roman Reigns. The WWE literally shoved him down your throat. And in spite of all of it, The Paul Heyman and Ronda Rousey segments were easily the most entertaining.
Did we learn anything WWE Creative?
Probably not.
Matches:
Baron Corbin vs. Roman Reigns: A lengthy back and forth that saw Corbin try to escape, but Finn Balor cut him off, allowing Reigns to pick up the win with The Spear. After the match, Balor finished off Corbin with the Coup De Grace.
Bobby Roode vs. Mojo Rawley: Solid back and forth but Roode won with the Glorious DDT.
Rezar w/ Akam vs. Titus O’Neil w/Titus Worldwide: Apollo Crews and Dana Brooke: Rezar for the win with the Farooq Buster.
Jinder Mahal w/ Kevin Owens and Sunil Singh vs. Braun Strowman: Owens gets Strowman again in a match that wasn’t nearly as fun as the promo that preceded it.
Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre vs. Seth Rollins: Ziggler won with the Super Kick but Rollins showed a ton of heart.
The Revival: Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder vs. WWE Raw Tag Team Champions The B- Team: Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas: A no-contest as Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy got involved.
The Riott Squad: Sarah Logan and Luc Morgan vs. The Boss and Hug Connection: Sasha Banks and Bayley: The return of Ruby Riott allowed Morgan to win with a Rollup.
Ronda Rousey w/ Natalya vs. Alicia Fox w/WWE RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss: Rousey got the squash win with the Arm Bar and avoided an attack from Bliss after the match.
