Following the No Mercy PPV, this week’s edition of WWE Raw addressed the fallout from the PPV, big time. This helped us to witness the initial buildups for the upcoming Raw-exclusive event in October. It will WWE’s version of Demolition Derby, also known as Tables, Ladders, and Chairs aka WWE TLC.
In the absence of Brock Lesnar and John Cena, The Miz and Roman Reigns will be in the prime focus on the main event scene. These two kicked off this week’s flagship program by having a Miz TV segment which might have started a full-fledged rivalry between the two of them. This also set up the singles contest between Reigns and The Miz in a non-title match.

The Hollywood A-lister was irate since he wanted to take the night off for celebrating his Intercontinental title win at No Mercy. But, instead, he got booked for a bout against none other than The Big Dog who runs this place.

Quite expectedly, Roman Reigns picked up a clean win again the Intercontinental Champion to get inserted into the IC title picture. After he pinned The Miz with a huge spear, the championship match has been made official for next week’s WWE Raw. That heel champion delivered a brutal beatdown to Reigns to ensure that he will not be a 100 percent going into the match.

Strowman beat the hell out of Ambrose which looked stupid to his partner, Seth Rollins. But, he agreed to take on the former number one contender for the Universal Championship, next week. With these two announcements, WWE Raw looks quite promising, next week. The show is scheduled to take place in Denver, Colorado.
