WWE Raw full results: Orton RKO-ed Lesnar, A big return, Reigns’ next opponent decided and more

WWE Raw came live tonight from the Phillips Center in Atlanta, Georgia. It kicked off with the Boss, Sasha Banks who won the Women’s championship from Charlotte last week. The crowd chanted “you deserve it” for her as the former champion came to interrupt her. She vowed to take back the Women’s championship from the boss at Summerslam. Meanwhile, Jericho came out between them and started insulting Sasha. Enzo Amore interrupted further to save the day for Sasha Banks. With all of them arguing in the ring, the Raw General Manager, Mick Foley announced a mixed tag team action right there.

 

Sasha Banks and Enzo Amore vs. Chris Jericho and Charlotte

The match starts with Jericho and Enzo locking their heads. As the match progresses Dana Brooke made her presence felt in the chaos. She distracted Sasha that allowed Charlotte to connect with the Natural Selection and gain the pinfall. Jericho hit a post-match codebreaker to Enzo. Big Cass made it to the ring to save the day for Enzo.

 

Braun Strowman vs. Evan Anderhole

This was another easy match for the mountain of a man. The opponent claimed to get $5000 if he beats Braun Strowman. But Braun just manhandled the rookie and finished the job with a reverse chokeslam.

 

The Golden Truth vs. The Shining Stars

R-Truth was still busy playing Pokemon Go while they were in the middle of the match. It looked like the duo is addicted to the game. Goldust almost had a singles competition throughout the match. He missed a tag as Truth was busy on his phone. Shining Stars won the match via roll-up.

 

Seth Rollins confronted Finn Bálor

Balor was welcomed by the crowd with a tremendous ovation. Seth Rollins was not buying all of that and claimed that how he is superior from the Irishman. Balor said he is the one who earned the spot, unlike Rollins who was handed the spot. Balor hit Rollins with a kick to the gut and a pele kick to end the segment on WWE Raw.

 

U.S. Champion Rusev def. Mark Henry

Rusev with Lana got the championship match as a part of their honeymoon against Mark Henry who was willing to reopen his “Hall of Pain”, once more. Unfortunately, Rusev locked in the accolade to tap out the big man. Aftermath, Rusev was claiming how he is unbeatable, these days. Roman Reigns showed up to connect with a superman punch to the Bulgarian Brute.

 

Titus O’Neil def. Darren Young

We got shades of Titus O’Neil turning heel when he had this match between these two former tag team members on WWE Raw. Titus won the match by holding on to the tights of Darren Young. Bob Backlund complained about the cheating by Titus and got paid for it at backstage.

 

Nia Jax vs. Ariel Monroe

It was another matchup with a rookie to put over Nia Jax. Nia ended the match in a dominant fashion with her pendant leg drop to Monroe.

 

Kofi Kingston and Big E vs. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson

This was a match up which was supposed to be won by the Club members but unfortunately, Big E earned a sudden pinfall with a roll up to Anderson. After the match, Gallows and Anderson delivered a vicious assault to the New Day and as a result, Big E got injured.

 

Cesaro vs. Sheamus

This match up was set up by Mick Foley with the stipulation of whoever wins will get a future title shot. Though, it was not specified for which title it will be. It was a physical match, to say the least. Sheamus countered Cesaro’s swing with a boot to the face only to fell victim to the neutralizer from the Swiss Superman.

 

Jinder Mahal Is Back

Heath Slater was claiming that how he is the hottest free agent in the wrestling industry today. So, he introduced his former best friend, Zinder Mahal to form 2MB. Mick Foley came out to make a match between them with the stake that whoever wins will earn a contract on WWE Raw. Zinder asked the referee for the bell and connected with a superkick to get the pinfall and a contract on Raw.

 

Seth Rollins def. Sami Zayn

Seth Rollins was out to prove why he is called the Man against Sami. After a terrific encounter, Rollins tried to hit the pedigree but missed. Zayn the missed the Helluva kick in the corner which allowed Rollins to connect with the Pedigree to pick up the win and gain momentum ahead of Summerslam.

 

Randy Orton attacked Brock Lesnar

Paul Heyman came out with the beast talking about the biggest box office attraction that Lesnar is right now and Orton is not man enough to encounter with the beast. He will not be able to hit Brock with an “RKO outta nowhere.”

Meanwhile, Orton hits the ring in WWE Raw all of a sudden and connected with an RKO on Lesnar, all of a sudden. Lesnar fell down in the ring. Orton left the ring and went into the crowd as we see Mick Foley and Stephanie McMahon started complaining that all of these are the ideas of Shane McMahon. They intended to escort The Viper out of WWE Raw who made the trespassing, knowingly. WWE Raw went off the air with Lesnar standing on his feet and looking at Randy Orton who is all smiling.
