An irate Rusev fended off both Orton and Corbin using the ring steps to stand tall.
Last Woman Standing Match between Lacey Evans and Natalya was the opening contest of this week’s WWE RAW. Natalya had the Sharpshooter locked in to gain initial control. But Lacey used Kendo-Sticks and Chairs to bring offenses and have numerous attempts for a victory. Nattie kept on coming back even after Evans sent her through the LED wall in the stage. Natalya caught Evans with a Suplex and powerbombed her off the stage through a table to get the win.

The Miz hosted an edition of Miz TV with guests, WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and new SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair. The two champions tried to get into a heated argument before the Women’s Tag Team Champions, The Kabuki Warriors – Asuka and Kairi Sane interrupted to compete in a tag team match. Asuka used the green mist on Lynch as Sane rolled her up from behind to get the win. After the match, Sane and Asuka tried to overpower Flair when Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross ran into the ring to make the save.
Ricochet vs. Apollo Crews took place on WWE Raw. After initial back and forth attempts Crews delivered a drop-kick on Ricochet who came back springboarding with a flying clothesline. He followed up with a standing Shooting Star Press for a close 2 count. Crews fought back with an Enziguiri but digested a Recoil from Ricochet for a loss.
Professional boxer Tyson Fury appeared on WWE Raw demanding an apology from Braun Strowman for his actions on Smackdown. Strowman did not act as per the demand. Rather, Fury taunted him saying how many championships he’s won in his career. This led to a massive brawl between the two behemoths to the delight of the fans. The entire locker room was out in the ring to separate these two but failed. The brawl continued between these two as WWE Raw went off the air.
You thought it was over?! The MASSIVE BRAWL between @BraunStrowman and @Tyson_Fury continued after #Raw went off the air!!!
