Filler matches and mediocre pacing ensured that this week’s RAW was far from entertaining. With Hell in a Cell just days away, this RAW did nothing, away from throwing Mick Foley into the RAW main event as Special Guest referee and Roman Reigns’ predictable attack on Braun Strowman, to entice anyone to watch the show this Sunday.
Matches:
Nikki Bella w/Brie Bella vs. Ruby Riott w/Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan: After Brie got the rest of the Riott Squad taken care of, Nikki won with the Rack Attack 2.0.
The Authors of Pain: Akam and Rezar w/Drake Maverick vs. Ronnie Ace and Nathan Bradley: A squash as Akam and Rezar won with The Super Collider.
The B Team: Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas vs. WWE RAW Tag Team Champions: Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler: Zig-Zag Claymore got the champs the win, but The Shield hit the ring afterward.
Kevin Owens vs. Tyler Breeze: Owens got DQed and made a point to tell the world he’s coming for Bobby Lashley.
Bobby Roode and Chad Gable vs. The Ascension: Viktor and Konnor: Gable got the win with the Rolling German Suplex.
WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey and Natalya Neidhart vs. Alexa Bliss and Mickie James w/Alicia Fox: Bliss and James tried to work over Rousey, but “Rowdy†eventually tapped out James with the Arm Bar. Bliss, however, did get a shot in after the bell.
Finn Balor vs. Elias Sampson: Elias nearly won with a Sit-Out Powerbomb, but Balor won with the Rollup on a counter of the Drift Away.
