Here are 18 things that we learned from RAW:
1) WWE Paid Tribute To Nikolai Volkoff and Brian Christopher
Monday Night RAW this week kicked off with tributes to WWE Hall of Famer, Nikolai Volkoff and Brian Christopher. The news broke on Sunday that Volkoff passed away at the age of 70. The sad news also broke on Sunday that Brian Christopher (aka Grandmaster Sexay) passed away. He was only 46 years old.
WWE aired a graphic to pay tribute to both Nikolai and Brian to start the show.

3) WWE Loves Having Roman Reigns Say ‘Bitch’ In Promos
Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman went back and forth on the mic to open RAW this week. Roman ended his promo by saying that he is going to make Brock his “Bitch” at Summerslam.
One thing that was clear to me was that WWE loves having Reigns use ‘Bitch’ in his promos. That seems to be their go-to scripted line for him to draw a reaction. Not a knock against Reigns but lets’ get a bit more creative with our writing.
It must be Groundhog Day, because Roman has said before that @BrockLesnar would be made his bitch, except it didn’t happen then either. #RinseAndRepeat #Insanity #WWE #RAW
