RAW was a disaster. Boring on the mic, lackluster in the ring. If there was an episode that was a microcosm of 2020. This was it. The awful climax between Randy Orton and Alexa Bliss only made the show worse. If RAW ever needed a reset button, it was right now.
Matches:
Winner gets WWE Title Shot: Keith Lee vs. Sheamus: Sheamus did everything but win here and Lee put him away with the Spirit Bomb.
Gran Metalik w/Lince Dorado vs/ The Miz w/John Morrison: Metalik got the win in a complete shocker. This has to be the beginning of a new angle for The Miz.
Dana Brooke w/Mandy Rose vs. Shayna Baszler: Brooke put in a solid performance but Baszler won with the Kurifuda Clutch and then put it on Rose as well.
AJ Styles w/Amos vs. Elias w/Jaxson Ryker: Elias beat on Styles, but the former Bullet Club leader fought back and won with the Phenomenal Forearm.
Ricochet vs. Mustafa Ali w/Dominik Dijakovic, Dio Maddin and Shane Thorne: Ricochet took out all of Retribution by himself, but Ali got the win with Kofi Clutch after he countered the Shooting Star Press.
Nia Jax w/Shayna Bazsler vs. WWE RAW Women’s Tag Team Champion Charlotte Flair w/RAW Women’s Champion Asuka: Baszler got involved to get the match thrown out.
Eight Man Tag: The Hurt Business: United States Champion Bobby Lashley, WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin and MVP vs. The New Day: Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, Matt Riddle and Jeff Hardy: Lots of offense from all sides before Lashley won with the Hurt lock on Hardy.
