This page will be your place for results from the April 16th, 2018 episode of Monday Night RAW. We do things a little differently than other websites. We mix the match results in with storyline speculation, funny moments and future predictions. Also, we like to include pictures, tweets, and/or videos to give our readers the best experience. The goal is to give our readers the best possible recap.
1) Jinder Mahal Is Now A Member Of RAW (And So Is The United States Championship).
Monday Night RAW this week kicked off with Kurt Angle. Angle was interrupted by Samir Singh, who announced that Jinder Mahal is now a member of the RAW roster. That also means the U.S Title has changed brands.
A big change for both RAW and Smackdown Live!

3) With The Win, Jeff Hardy Is Now A Grand Slam Winner!
The United States Championship was the only Title that Jeff Hardy needed to become a Grand Slam Champion under the new format (he was already a grand slam champion under the old rules).
Congratulations to Jeff! A pretty big accomplishment.

5) Sasha Banks Covered Up A Botch Pretty Nicely
Sasha Banks faced off against Bayley in the second match of the night. There was a botch to start off the match as Bayley slipped coming off the ropes. Sasha transitioned well out of it though with almost instant knees to the gut. A nice save.
You can watch the botch and the recovery here:
These two are extremely good, we promise. #RAW #WWE #SuperstarShakeUp pic.twitter.com/MlzzPeByTn
