It was the final edition of WWE Raw before we get onto the Great Balls of Fire PPV, this Sunday. Major hype ups for the inaugural event was made on the show. We also got the official match card for the PPV from the show. Here are the results from WWE’s flagship show hosted by the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.
WWE Raw kicked off with Enzo Amore addressing his partner, Big Cass backstabbing him and delivering blind-sided attack for the last few weeks. The crowd gave a big reaction to him. After the segment was over, he headed towards backstage and dived into Cass who was watching Raw on the TV screen. The backstage officials separated them.
A tag team match took place in the opening contest from the women’s division. Sasha Banks and Bayley teamed up against Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss. In the middle of the match, Bayley was taken to backstage owing to an assault from Nia. However, Sasha still managed to fight on her own and pick up the win via Bank Statement.
The Miz hosted yet another Miz TV and kept bragging about the fact that he got all the footages by bringing in the Ball family, last week. He was interrupted by General Manager, Kurt Angle who made a rematch official between Miz and Ambrose at Great Balls of Fire. He also booked Heath Slater for an IC title match on WWE Raw.
Heath Slater tried hard to go toe to toe with the champion but the numbers game caught up with him. Miz retained via distraction from his partners Dallas and Axel standing at the ringside. Ambrose came out to make the save but the Miztourage neutralised him. Miz put Ambrose down with Skull Crushing Finale to end the segment.
An interview segment was hosted by Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar which got heated. The contender was able to find out Lesnar at the backstage went ahead to attack him. But, this time the officials were ready to protect both of them and leave the fight for this Sunday.
A match was made official on this Sunday Night for the tag team title. The Hardy Boyz would challenge the champions in a 30-minute Iron Man match. One-half of the champions, Cesaro took on Finn Balor in a singles match, thereafter. Balor capitalised by the presence of Hardy Boyz at ringside and picked up the win via Coup De Grace.
Two Cruiserweight division matches took place in which Neville defeated Mustafa Ali. Cedric Alexander pinned Noam Dar in a quick match. Seth Rollins got a rematch against Curt Hawkins and put him down with the Kingslayer move.
The main event witnessed Braun Strowman squaring off against Apollo Crews. Despite the resistance from the latter one, Strowman picked up the win after punishing him with three running power slams. Aftermath, Roman Reigns showed up to attack Strowman from an ambulance. He was able to finish off WWE Raw by hitting his opponent with a massive spear off the ramp through a table.
