The confrontation finally turned into a fight as Rollins tried to attack Owens. But as everyone got involved in the fight Rollins escaped the fight. Sonya Deville came out and announced a ladder match among the four competitors. The winner of the match would become the no. one contender for the WWE Championship.
Match 1 – No 1 contender’s match for the WWE RAW Tag Team Championship – Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler defeated The Street Profits and The Alpha Academy
The match was quite fun. It was booked for over seven minutes and it was pretty competitive. Omos had a part in this match who hit Angelo Dawkins from outside and Robert Roode cashed the opportunity by pinning him.
Next up was the royal coronation of Queen Zelina Vega. The ring was decorated like a royal lobby. Queen Zelina came out and talked about her greatness. The promo she cut was quite good.
Match 2 – Queen Zelina defeated Doudrop
The match was very short. It was not a clean win though. She hit Doudrop with her spectre while the referee was distracted. This feud should stop. There is no need to bury Doudrop at this moment.
New WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch came out. She cut a short promo as she was inturrupted by Bianca Belair. The arguement turned physical where Bianca was shown stronger. Becky somehow left the beating. This was a feud from Smackdown, why do we have to see it on RAW again? The answer is Charlotte Flair. They could not build new faces in RAW because they were only focused on Charlotte and did not care about anyone else.
Match 3 – Damian Priest defeated T Bar by DQ
T Bar was presented as quite a strong force in this match, surprisingly. And another surprise, Priest won the match by DQ as T Bar hit Priest with Rolling Chair. After the match Priest beat down T Bar brutally.
Match 4 – Carmella defeated Liv Morgan
Once again we have to see same feuds from Smackdown on RAW. WWE’s obsession which Charlotte Flair is killing the entire women’s division completely. Carmella faced Liv Morgan for the 99999th time today and she beat her with a Face First.
Match 5 – Keith “Barecat” Lee defeated Cedric Alexander
It was an easy victory for Keith Lee but it was not a squash. We hope this push for Keith Lee works. About the match it was only booked to promote Lee, there was nothing special about it.
Match 6 – Austin Theory defeated Dominik Mysterio
Another short match with nothing much important. It might be the beginning of a new feud though. Austin Theory pinned Dominik with an ATL.
Match 7 – WWE RAW Tag Team Champions RK-Bro defeated The Dirty Dogs
It was one of the better matches of the night. It was booked for nearly ten minutes and it was quite fun to watch. Riddle pinned Dolph Ziggler with a Crucifux Roll Up to earn victory for his side.
Match 8 – Seth Rollins defeated Finn Balor, Kevin Owens and Rey Mysterio in a ladder match to become the No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship
Indeed it was the best match of the night. It was a pay per view standard match where all athletes were on top of their games. Kevin Owens was shown as the strongest force of the four. But Rollins was quite dominant at the end who single handedly knocked out Owens and Balor at the end and won the contract. Seth Rollins stood tall as this week’s RAW went off air.
Overall it was an average week of RAW. Except the main event match, there was nothing special. The women’s division is in a terrible condition. Women that just got drafted to RAW are continuing their feuds from SmackDown. No wrestler from RAW had anything to offer. This happened because they were only focused on pushing Charlotte Flair. We are feeling pity for The Smackdown women’s division, same thing is going to happen to them as well since Charlotte in SmackDown now. We give it 2.5 stars out of 5.
