10) Michael Cole Almost Died
Michael Cole nearly died on Monday Night RAW this week. While trying to escape from Braun Strowman, he tripped and was taken hostage by the ‘Monster Among Men’.
After Kurt Angle informed Braun that he was re-hired, he showed a bit of mercy. Braun ended up tossing Cole into a group of employees. He was replaced by Tom Phillips on commentary for the rest of the night.
Well, this is how @BraunStrowman celebrates?!

11) Nia Jax Injured Her Leg
Asuka faced off against Nia Jax on RAW this week. After a solid match, it ended in a referee stoppage after Nia couldn’t stand on her leg.
It was a worked injury and a great way to protect both of them from taking the loss.

12) Chris Jericho Confirmed For RAW 25
In a bit of a surprising announcement, Chris Jericho was announced for the 25th anniversary of RAW episode next week. This is surprising because Jericho just wrestled at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom event. He also looks to be still working with the company.
Didn’t expect to see him but glad he will be there!
