Match 1 – Damian Priest defeated Bobby Lashley by DQ
The match did not continue for long as Sheamus interrupted and attacked Damian. Both Sheamus and Bobby Lashley started beating down Damian as Drew McIntyre came into his aid.
Match 2 – Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre defeated Sheamus and Bobby Lashley
This was a very good tag team action and it was quite enjoyable. The babyface side dominated most part of the match. As Sheamus was going to tag in Bobby Lashley, the WWE champion betrayed his partner and left. Drew mcintyre then pinned Sheamus with the Claymore.
Match 3 – Karrion Kross defeated Ricochet by submission
This was a squash from Karrion Kross. It was an absolutely terrible decision to treat such a talented wrestler like Ricochet as a jobber. Imagine what this guy can do if he goes to AEW.
Next up was the Moist TV of John Morrison being the host and Logan Paul was the guest. Arguably Logan Paul received the most heat from the WWE fans in the recent years. We cannot remember anyone had been booed so much as Logan Paul got here. The Miz and John Morrison tried their best to save Logan but it did not work. Why did WWE bring Logan Paul game was even beyond our imaginations.
Match 4 – Xavier Woods defeated the Miz
This was quite of a fun match. Both wrestlers were good in this match. Miz almost pinned Woods with a rollup but Morrison unintentionally distracted the referee and Miz could not pin Woods and pinned Miz with a Small package hold.
After the match, Miz attacked Morrison and beat him down. Another tag team is over. It was a terrible decision. There are already in shortage of good tag teams and now they are breaking whatever they have.
Match 5 – Mansoor defeated Jinder Mahal by DQ
The match was short and Jinder had no intentions of winning this match. He just wanted to take out his frustration and that was what he did as beat down Mansoor and the referee disqualified him.
The new and the twelve times WWE RAW Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair came out to the arena. She cut a really long promo where she only bragged about herself and her achievements. Nothing much important here. But the only important part of this segment was Alexa Bliss interfering at the end to make it clear that she is next to challenge for the title.
Match 6 – Nikki ASH & Rhea Ripley defeated Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax
The match was okay. Right now it would be a good idea to team up Nikki ASH & Rhea Ripley. They could be a good tag team champion. Rhea Ripley pinned Shayna to pick up the victory for her side.
Match 7 – Riddle defeated AJ Styles
The match started before a Championship celebration of Riddle and Randy Orton. AJ Styles came out and Challenged Riddle to a match and here we go. This was the main event of the night and it was a very good match. But AJ should stop jobbing week in and week out now. Riddle pinned AJ clean. RK-Bro celebrated as this week’s RAW went off air.
Overall it was a good week of Monday night RAW. The biggest talking point of the match was Miz betraying John Morrison. Matches were good as well but AJ Styles should stop now. It is really difficult to see wrestler of his calibre jobbing week in and week out. The segment with Logan Paul was terrible as well. We give it 3 stars out of 5.
