Away from new tag team champions, this was an awful episode of RAW that juts dragged beyond measure. With no level of unpredictability or fun, something is missing. RAW is absolutely broken.
Matches:
Elimination: Lars Sullivan vs. The Lucha House Party: Lince Dorado, Gran Metalik and Kalisto: Sullivan beat Kalisto with the Freak Accident, Dorado with a Running Powerbomb and Metalik with a Diving Headbutt.
Six-Man Tag: Braun Strowman, The Miz and Ricochet vs. United States Champion Samoa Joe, Cesaro and Lashley: Lots of action, but Ricochet got the won with the 630 after Samoa Joe decided to leave the match.
WWE Smackdown Women’s Champion Bayley and WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss and Lacey Evans w/Nikki Cross: Evans was on her game and won via the Woman’s Right.
WWE Women’s Champions Billie Kay and Peyton Royce vs. Alia Mia and Lisa Lace: The Champions destroyed the Two Local Competitors with the Assisted Running Knee.
WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins vs. Jimmy and Jey Uso vs. The Revival: Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder: The Usos put Ryder away with Super Kicks and a Super Fly Splash, but a blind tag by Scott Dawson allowed The Revival to win the gold.
WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens: Sami Zayn Special Outside Referee: Zayn played a role, especially after Rollins hit The Curb Stomp on Owens and eventually DQed Rollins after The Beast Slayer put his hands on him. What a joke.
After the match, Baron Corbin hit the ring and then beat on Rollins before the Universal Champion took out Zayn with a chair and delivered The Curb Stomp on him as Corbin fled up the ramp.
