1) A Nice Change Of Pace To Kick Off RAW This Week
Monday Night RAW this week kicked off with Elias, who was sitting in the middle of the ring. From my recollection, I can’t remember Elias starting off an episode. This was certainly a unique way to start instead of a promo from Kurt Angle or some of the usual people.
Fans seemed to dig the change of pace:
Awesome way to start the show! Who wants to walk with Elias? #RAW

After two weeks of garbage programming, who knows what kind of #RAW we’ll be getting this evening.
Having Elias start the show is a good way to begin the night.

2) Elias Made A Good Joke About The Houston Rockets
RAW this week took place in Houston, Texas. If you are a basketball fan, you know that the Houston Rockets were just eliminated from the NBA playoffs by the Golden State Warriors.
Elias had some fun with the fans in Houston, trolling them about Golden State.
Bruh Elias said “Rollins feel down like the Rockets when Golden State comes to town.”
TOO SOON ELIAS STFU #RAW

3) Jonathan Coachman Missed RAW This Week
RAW this week featured a change on commentary. Michael Cole announced that Jonathan Coachman was “on assignment” this week. He was replaced by David Otunga.
Otunga is already making me miss Coach . . . Yeah, I never thought I’d say that either #RAW

4) The Referee Blew A Call In The Opening Match!
The first match on RAW was a tag team clash: Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins against Jinder Mahal and Elias. Near the end of the match, Seth was hit with a DDT on a steel chair by Elias. That seems like it should have been a disqualification but the referee didn’t call anything. Elias would go on to win the match.
A blown call by the official!
Why was the DDT on the steel chair not a disqualification? #WWE #Raw
