We are treated to Brock Lesnar to open Raw oh yeah and Paul Heyman. The crowd is ON FIRE for Lesnar. Heyman is in FULL promo mode and puts over how amazing the beast is. Guess what… he’s right. Oh goodness our giant monster of a man our savior of norm Braun Strowman is out. Loud Strowman (Goldberg Esque) chants. I’ve never seen anyone and I mean anyone be able to man handle Lesnar like Strowman can and you absolutely believe it. I am absolutely 100% on board with a Braun and Brock feud. It’s time to give the title to Strowman and it’s time to run with him as the top baby face in the company.
Goodness we get Enzo and Cass again? Enzo just cut a promo and walked away. Apparently he stole a shopping cart from a local hardware store and also stole from the store. Watching Enzo get destroyed every week is kind of like watching an animal die a slow death. I”m not sure if watching Cass destroy Enzo here tonight will get sympathy on Enzo. Cass’s knee just gave out and he’s upset, Enzo wins. The fall over the top rope didn’t look great hopefully it’s a work but that looked rough.
Emma is backstage running her mouth. Nia Jax is standing behind and says the trend worldwide will be to keep Emma alive. We now have Nia coming out and not sure if you know this but Nia isn’t like most girls. Nia Jax and Emma going head to head now. Emma certainly has a following but I still don’t see it maybe I need to be referred a match. Nia with the squash victory and we are continuing the Nia build.
Elias the Heater of Rock n Roll gets the segment rolling into the nine o’clock hour so possibly something big could be happening. Oh how about we get Elias and R-Truth instead. Another rather quick match and Elias looks like a million bucks, I see lots of money in him.
Angle is next with a big announcement and as I just tweeted I think Miz is interrupting leading to Cena’s return. So who does the crowd thinks sucks more… Cena or Angle? Is Cena growing his hair out or something? WHOA! Reigns is out to go face to face with Cena and this is a special moment. Cena challenges Reigns to a fight and both men throw there microphones down. Miz comes out to a thunderous ovation. Cena always seems unsettled when he has a mic across from Miz. Miz plays to the crowd and man it seems like they have legit issues. Miz just cut one of his incredible promo’s and Cena tries to play general manager. What’s better than Cena, Reigns and Miz? Add Joe. Oh my do we actually get Miz and Samoa Joe vs. Roman Reigns and John Cena tonight? WWE you have my attention.Joe starts punching Cena and Miz tries to attack Reigns.
There is an eight man cruiserweight tag match now. I feel like there has been more commercial time than match time in this match. Alexander is very exciting in the ring for sure. This is really my first time seeing Gran Metalik and I love him look. He just had great height diving to outside. Tony Neese just sold that finisher like crazy. Looks like Alexander is the next challenger for Neville once Tozawa is done. Tozawa and Neville will have their rematch on on 205 Live will you watch?
AmbRollins is out now and “burn it down” has gotten over with the crowd. The Hardys want some of AmbRollins and oh my talk about a dream match. Jeff and Matt tease being broken or woken. Are we really going to get AmbRollins vs. Hardys tonight on Raw? This is happening… Hardy and Ambrose is oddly similar. These four have great chemistry, just think about the Raw tag division… AmbRollins, The Bar, Good Brothers, and Hardys. Those are eight elite wrestling talents in the world. Poetry in motion over the top rope is gold. I can’t believe we haven’t seen the Good Brothers or The Bar yet to interfere and ruin all of our fun. Are the fans saying 1…2….sweet? If so that’s awesome. I love that Ambrose and Rollins utilize tag team moves you know as a tag team. Ambrose and Rollins win in a fantastic Raw match, they will have match of the night matches as a tag team.
Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar is announced for No Mercy. Miz is backstage with Miztourage and Samoa Joe. He runs his mouth about Joe joining the Miztourage before Joe does that scary Samoan thing he does.
Sasha Banks with the title just looks right. Fans are mixed with their reaction on Sasha Banks and its possible it may be best to do a double turn with her and Bliss or her and Joe. Bliss got the reaction I expected Banks to get to be honest. Now there is a loud “you tapped out” chant, the crowd isn’t sure what to do for some reason. As they now boo when Banks says that she tapped her out. Its announced that Sasha Banks will defend her title next week against Alexa Bliss.
Well I can see where they are going with Jordan and you know what it’s probably a good thing. Let him go heel and try to hide his personality issues with arrogance of talent. Jordan is absolutely excellent in the ring and as a tag wrestler he’s great but as a single his best chance is as a heel. Jordan right now is showing heel facial expressions and its the most personality he’s shown as a singles competitor. This crowd is going crazy about something and I don’t think it’s the match. This has actually been a fun match. Finn Balor picks up the win and it’s the most impressed i’ve been with Jordan so far.

The amount of star power in this main event is awesome considering that none of them are in the Universal title match or the Universal champion. I’m surprised Reigns got the final entrance of everyone and yes that includes Cena. This beach ball stuff is stupid like extremely stupid. Samoa Joe and John Cena are in the ring and you are cheering for a beach ball. Cena is in full troll mode and if i’m Joe and Miz that pisses me off as much as the beach ball does. Cena playing the baby face in peril as Joe and Miz go to work. Miz and Joe are really dominating this match and a nice spot for Bo Dallas to run over Roman Reigns. Reigns and Miz now both left laying and we are looking for hot tags for Cena and Joe. I really hope we get Miz/Reigns and Joe/Cena feuds. We get an awesome series of moves and Miz looks to capitalize. Of course Cena gets the reversal and the win.
