1) Big Cass Opens The Show: I’m a bit shocked that they gave Big Cass the open opposite of the home run derby. Goes to show a few things: 1. Someone backstage has a lot of confidence in the big guy. 2. They are positioning him to be a big deal. Good for him let’s see if he takes the torch as both Corbin and Strowman have or if he goes the way of Test and fizzles out.
2) Finn wins a feud? I guess this was the end of a feud for Finn Balor and Elias Sampson. Elias gets some good offense in and Finn plays the face in peril so very well. Balor of course picks up the win and every week the crowd is mega hot for him.
3) Broken Clubs Need Revival: The good brothers picked up a much needed TV win and they picked it up over the Hardy Boyz. The Hardys teased being broken in a promo before the match against Anderson and Gallows. Then after the match the Revival came in for a beat down of the cracked not quite broken brothers. This should lead to a new feud with Cesaro and Sheamus and the Revival getting the honor of breaking the Hardy Boyz.
4) Houston Loves Award Shows: The crowd was mega hot for the Mizzie awards show. This had Maryse, Miz, Axel and Dallas all winning gold in the middle of the ring on Raw. Mizzie Gold that is. This of course until Ambrose comes down to spoil the fun. Rollins ultimately makes the save and we have 2/3 of the Shield in the ring on Raw. Don’t get to excited as Ambrose made it clear there would not be a Shield reunion HOWEVER I would LOVE an Ambrose and Rollins feud again.
5) The Hugging Bosses are victorious: Nia Jax continues to impress in the ring however Sasha Banks and Bayley were just too much for them as Bayley grabs a rollup victory over all five feet of fury. During this match Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks continued their physical style against each other. Could we be getting a fantastic fatal four way for the women’s title at Summerslam? Let’s hope so.
6) The Shattered Truth: Looks like the end of another feud tonight as Goldust gets the big win over R-Truth. The crowd really cooled off for this match as they have been on fire all night long. Retro Goldust could be a very good opponent for a guy like Finn Balor or Dean Ambrose.
7) An Olympian an Advocate A Beast and Two Samoans in a ring: Samoa Joe continues on being the best thing on Monday Night Raw every week. The intensity he brings in his promos is something a lot of guys can learn from. He and Brock looked like the two stars in the ring and that isn’t good for Roman Reigns. However if this means Joe vs. Lesner II sign me up!
8) The truth shall set you free: Looks like we will finally find out what has been going on with Kurt Angle and his cell phone. If I had to guess it’s a way to get us to a Kurt Angle vs. HHH match at Summerslam and it involves Stephanie McMahon.
9) The Powa of Tozawa: Akira Tozawa and Cedric Alexander picked up a win over Neville and Noam Darr. Titus O’Neil will have a great time next week hyping how his client pinned the champion in the middle of the ring.

10) The Main Event: The architect, the king slayer, the man, Seth Freak’ Rollins and The eater of worlds, the god himself, Bray Wyatt just put on a very good TV main event match. Apparently Seth Rollins biggest weakness is his eye. Wyatt picks up a big time TV win against Rollins and could this be Wyatt following his prophecy on defeating all on his way to Lesner? The Miz and The Miztourage make their way to the ring to put a beat down on Rollins. Until crazy uncle Dean comes to save the day with a chair. We go off the air with Kurt Angle talking on the phone backstage and invites the mystery person to Raw next week and they will be making a huge announcement together.
