WWE RAW Coverage: A Long Three Hours

RAW is an undeniable disaster. The matchups are cold. The storylines are boring. RAW Underground is an awful attempt to make the three-hour show feel fresh. Retribution is stale. Take this thing back to formula.

Matches:

United States Champion Apollo Crews, Ricochet and Cedric Alexander vs. The Hurt Business: MVP Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin: Alexander finally turned his back on Crews and Ricochet, nailing Crews with the Lumbar Check, which allowed Benjamin to win with Pay Dirt.

WWE RAW Tag Team Champions: The Street Profits: Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins vs. Andrade and Angel Garza w/Zelina Vega: Garza walked out of the match, allowing Ford to win with the Frog Splash. After the match the Smackdown Tag Team Champions Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro issued a challenge for next week.

Billie Kay vs. Peyton Royce: Royce won with a Neckbreaker variation.

RAW Women’s Champion: Asuka and Mickie James vs. Natalya and Lana: Asuka got the save win on Lana with the Asuka Lock.

WWE United States Champion Apollo Crews, Ricochet and The Viking Raiders: Erik and Ivar vs. The Hurt Business: MVP, Shelton Benjamin, Cedric Alexander and Bobby Lashley: Lots of offense, but Alexander got the win with a Falcon Arrow it appeared Ricochet kicked out of.

RAW UnderGround: Kevin Owns vs. Aleister Black: These two are evenly matched and it showed. Dabba Kato ended up beating up both of them.

Keith Lee vs. Randy Orton: Orton hit the RKO, but McIntyre nailed him with a Claymore to throw the match out.

Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan vs. Women’s Tag Team Champion Shayna Baszler w/Women’s Tag Team Champion Nia Jax: A distraction by Jax cost her Tag Team Partner the match.

Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan vs. Women’s Tag Team Champion Nia Jax w/Women’s Tag Team Champion Shayna Baszler: Retribution cut the power to cut a promo.

Buddy Murphy vs. Dominik Mysterio w/Rey Mysterio, Angie Mysterio and Aliyah Mysterio: Dominik more than held his own and Murphy sold and ended up quitting after the entire Mysterio family beat on his with kendo sticks.
