The last RAW before Summerslam was flatter than an opened can of Coke in the sun. By the numbers matches and boring promo did nothing to entice you to watch one of the company’s biggest shows of the year.
Matches:
WWE RAW Tag Team Champion AJ Styles w/Omos vs. Riddle: With no Randy Orton ringside, Omos was able to play a role and allow Styles to win via The Styles Clash.
WWE RAW Women’s Champion Nikki ASH vs. Rhea Ripley: ASH tried but Ripley won with Riptide.
Veer and Shanky w/Jinder Mahal vs. Drew McIntyre: McIntyre won to bar both Veer and Shanky from ring-side at Summerslam.
Damian Priest vs. The Miz: Priest won with The Brogue Kick to piss off Sheamus, who was ringside.

WWE RAW Tag Team Champion Omos w/AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton: Styles got involved to give Omos the loss via DQ, but Omos beat on Orton after the bell until Riddle made the save. After the match, Orton told Riddle he respected him and that RKBro was back and challenged the RAW Tag Team Championship.
NXT Champion Karrion Kross vs. Jeff Hardy: Kross made an example of Hardy and got the squash win via Kross Jacket.
Nia Jax and Charlotte Flair vs. RAW Women’ Champion Nikki ASH and Rhea Ripley: Jax did most of the heavy lifting, but Flair jumped in to get the win with Natural Selection.
