WWE RAW had a decent opening last night through the general manager. We did not have much to follow up from last week’s attack from Brock Lesnar.
Assumptions were that there will be severe consequences of the Universal Champion’s actions. He did not dare to attack the authority figure. But that angle did not have any progression on the show.
Meanwhile, WWE Raw creative team tried to give Baron Corbin some footage. He was up against Roman Reigns in the opening segment and also competed in a match.
However, the officials will not be happy after seeing him botching a clothesline. He acted like a statue for most of the matches and even hit a cameraman accidentally during the contest. It is clear he will have to go a long way before going into the main event spotlight.
Braun Strowman and Kevin Owens delivered yet another entertaining segment on WWE Raw. The behemoth came out of the ‘Kevin Owens Show’ stage that scared everybody sitting above it. But Owens still managed to hold his nerves and play mind games. It caused in for a second disqualified loss for Strowman against Mahal. We should note that if this happens at Summerslam, Strowman will lose his MITB briefcase.
We have seen a great buildup for Dean Ambrose’s return on WWE RAW. Reports are all over the internet about the Lunatic Fringe’s inevitable comeback. Last night, the crowd was literally chanting for him when Rollins competed in a handicapped match. We hoped to see Ambrose coming out, but it did not happen. Instead, the beatdown continued from Ziggler and McIntyre.
The main event of WWE RAW witnessed Ronda Rousey participating in it. Alexa Bliss delivered yet another solid promo before the start of the matchup. She continued to distract Rousey during the matchup against Fox. But the former UFC superstar picked up the win with quite ease entertaining the crowd. Seeing Rousey competing on Monday Night was a freshening experience for the crowd.
It ended WWE RAW on a good note, as we head towards Summerslam. It was a good effort from the flagship show to build some hypes around the next PPV. Check out the Twitter reactions from it,
