A beefy card, dominance from Cain Velasquez and some hot or miss storyline between Rusev and Lashley, as well as continued drama between the Street Profits and the OC capped off a weak episode of RAW.
Matches:
Drew McIntyre vs. Ricochet: A great opening match that saw McIntyre unveiled as the last member of Ric Flair’s team at Crown Jewel. Although Ricochet thrived at times, The Angry Scot put him away with a Claymore and beat on him after the match.
Aleister Black vs. Jason Reynolds: A squash thanks to The Black Mass.
Sin Cara vs. Andrade w/Zelina Vega: Interference From Vega allowed Andrade to win with the Hammerlock DDT.
WWE RAW Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders vs. Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins: Ryder and Hawkins didn’t lay down, but it didn’t matter as Erik and Ivar hit the Viking Experience for the win.
WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins vs. Humberto Carrillo: Rollins won with The Stomp, but Carrillo proved he belonged.
The Street Profits: Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins and Kevin Owens vs. The O.C.: United States Champion AJ Styles and Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows: Ford bested Anderson with The Frog Splash in a match clearly designed to get The Profits over.
