Raw Tag Team Champion Match: Triple Threat, Champions The New Day vs Gallows and Anderson vs Sheamus and Cesaro

The New Day retained their tag team titles to essentially tie Demolition's all time record and eventually overtake it as they have no matches scheduled tomorrow.

During the post match celebration, the New Day soaked Stephanie with champagne and she left angrily.

Kevin Owens approached Stephanie and told her that New Day didn't deserve to be champions. He told her he had an idea he wanted to run by her and she told him to wait after she got cleaned up

Braun Strowman vs Curtis Axel

Braun quickly destroyed Axel. After the match he basically called out Sami Zayn and accused Mick of protected him.

Backstage, Sami Zayn approached Foley and demanded the match with Strowman. After a back and forth, Foley told Zayn he knew he couldn't defeat Strowman. Zayn then said if Foley didn't believe in him than maybe he should be traded to Smackdown and Foley agreed.

Ariya Daivari vs Lince Dorado

Jack Gallagher came out in the match and announced "As an extraordinary gentleman, I am here to announce my intention to interfere in this match." He attacked Daivari, giving him the DQ victory.

The Rollins Report with Kevin Owens


Rollins once again demanded a match with Triple H but said he knew his path to Triple H went through Kevin Owens. KO came out but then when offered a seat in the ring, instead got one from backstage and sat on the ramp. Kevin Owens announced that he and Jericho would get a title match vs the New Day tonight. Jericho then came out and asked Owens if he honestly thought Jericho would be his partner ever again. Some more arguing between them and Rollins caused Jericho and Owens to team up and attack Rollins. After a beat down, Roman Reigns came down and took out Owens and Jericho.

TJ Perkins vs Brian Kendrick

Kendrick beat Perkins by pin fall.

Backstage


Foley approached Reigns and Rollins and added them into the main event against the New Day, making it a second triple threat for the night.

Bayley vs Alicia Fox

Bayley defeated Alicia Fox by pin fall

Rusev Segment

Rusev came out and bad mouthed Enzo. They showed the footage of Rusev beating Enzo. After taunting the crowd, Cass came out and addressed Rusev. Cass said that Enzo liked to run his mouth but had the balls to back it up. Cass attacked Rusev and the two brawled until Rusev left.

Backstage

Kevin Owens was first complaining about Foley adding Reigns and Rollins to the triple threat match. But then he went on a tangent about how he and Jericho would always be together. Jericho seemed not interested in being together forever and insisted they only concentrate on tonight.

Sami Zayn vs Jinder Mahal


Zayn defeated Mahal by pin fall.

Foley then came out and told Zayn he got a trade to Smackdown of equal value. Zayn asked again to get Strowman and Foley refused. He then told Zayn that he was trading Zayn for Eva Marie. Zayn got very angry and they argued. Zayn got in Foley's face and demanded angrily and loudly to the point of intimidating Foley to get a match with Strowman. Foley then told Zayn he could have the match. Foley told Zayn there never was a trade, he just wanted Zayn to have the right attitude and fire to face Strowman. So Foley gave Zayn a 10 minute time limit match with Strowman at Roadblock to prove everyone wrong.

Raw Tag Team Championship Match: Triple Threat Match Champions The New Day vs Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho vs Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins

The New Day retained their Raw Tag Team Championship due to a fight breaking out between KO and Jericho. Rollins pushed KO onto Jericho and Jericho blamed KO for it. After the match, KO tried to keep the team together but Jericho claimed it was over. Roman Reigns was standing behind KO and Jericho saw it. Jericho left, knowing Reigns was going to spear Owens as soon as he left.

~ Okay...so I'm going to try and be more positive with RAW this week. I'm
actually pretty excited...because finally...after the constant teasing
for the last couple of months...the beautiful Australian brawler Emma...
or Emmalina...returns this week...Yay!

emma-purps.png


:woah:

Of course it would be better if they saved her for RoadBlock...but that
doesn't matter...so go ahead RAW...you have my attention.

~ Okay we open with The Same Old Day vs. A Couple of Jokes vs. Cesaro and
an idiot...No...I'm going to be more positive this week. Lets see how this
match plays out...And the New Day retains...can't say I'm shocked.

~ Oh No...they made the mistake of spraying Stephanie with fluid...and it
went in her eyes...Women hate when that happens.

~ Oh look...Big StrongMan in another squash match...wonderful.

~ Please let Sami Zayn go to SmackDown! Please let Sami Zayn go to SmackDown!
~ Please let Sami Zayn go to SmackDown! Please let Sami Zayn go to SmackDown!
~ Please let Sami Zayn go to SmackDown! Please let Sami Zayn go to SmackDown!
~ Please let Sami Zayn go to SmackDown! Please let Sami Zayn go to SmackDown!
~ Please let Sami Zayn go to SmackDown! Please let Sami Zayn go to SmackDown!

~ Another Cruiserweight match...and I wish I cared but I don't.

~ Okay...more Rollins/Owens/Jericho/Rollins stuff...I...I...just don't...
BRING OUT EMMALINA ALREADY!1!

Look this doesn't work for me because...
1). Kevin Owens has been booked terribly since becoming champion.
2). Jericho and his List annoy me.
3). Seth Rollins works better as a heel.
&
4). Roman Reigns is boring.

I want to care...but I just can't.

~ Okay...I need to calm down...whats up next? Okay...THE Brian Kendrick
vs. TJ Nintendo...Okay...this should work. I do like THE Brian Kendrick.
Is it wrong that I want to see him wrestle the upper card guys?

~ I have to respect RAW for keeping Charlotte and Sasha off TV for this episode.
The video package works...but I'm still worried about how Ric Flair will be
involved in the match. Raptor Jesus...please keep him away from this match.

~ Next is Bayley vs. Alicia Fox...and wait a minute...didn't we see this match
just last week? *Checks Notes* Yep...we did. I'm really trying to stay positive
here guys...but...I'm cracking...I know I am. I Need to calm down...

emmalina-4.png


There...that's better...

~ Okay...this is cool...setting up Rusev vs. Big Cass at RoadBlock...May-be?
I'm a fan of both these guys...and believe Big Cass is a future main event star.
Nice work RAW...I care about this...although the road to get us here was kind
of sleazy and stupid.

~ Wait...So Emmalina is not debuting this week...even though you said she was
last week.

Okay...I just need to think for a moment...stay calm...stay calm...just breathe...
its going to be okay...I'll go to my happy place...I'm going to my happy place...

*Closes eyes*

Oh look I'm in the SmackDown locker room...and there's Alexa Bliss...
What's that Alexa? No...I don't know where Emma is either...

*Opens eyes*

AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!11111!!11


Okay RAW...I'll make you a deal. If Emmalina shows up at RoadBlock I'll let
this slide. If she shows up and get involved in the IronWoman Match even
better...but seriously...if she's not at RoadBlock...I'll...I'll...just complain about
it and keep watching anyway.

~ Okay...so Sami Zayn has a win...and sign the paperwork Sami...Sign it!!!
Wait...you were going to trade Sami Zayn for Eva Marie?!

EVA F*CKING MARIE?!

*Screams in pure hate filled Rage*

Sami Zayn is worth a Million Eva Marie's...as far as wrestling talent goes...this
is the worst thing I have ever heard in my life? Who wrote this? It had to be the
guy who just got fired...it had to be.

Okay...so Foley was just kidding and makes the match at RoadBlock with Sami Zayn
vs. Huge McPunchRod...Oh God...I need to calm down.

~ And its time for the main event...and I'm done...I don't care...and once again
RAW ends with Roman Reigns standing tall over everyone and I swear I can hear the
boos from all the way here in Australia.

~ I'm Done.

- The triple threat tag match for the RAW tag titles to kick it off was good. Brought some fire out. Not big on the result but what can you do.
- Braun squashing Curtis, easy transition match decent piece to the Braun/Sami saga.
- That SmackDown trade tease kept me intrigued at this point.
- More action for the Cruiserweights on RAW I can dig it.. The extraordinary gentleman made quite the impression on me. I would've liked to see an actual match but that's whatever.
- Good segment with Rollins & Company.. Jeric-KO... Making a second title match on The New Day's reigning day was a good idea.. and it was prepared to make the reign that much stronger looking.
- Not too shabby CW match between TBK & TJP.. good bit of action, keep it up guys, make that CW division important.
- NOT ONLY DID IT BECOME A TITLE MATCH BUT THEY ADDED REIGNS & ROLLINS to make it a triple threat again.. hype..
- Wasn't too interested in Bayley vs Alicia.. kinda skipped over this one.
- Rusev & Cass beating eachother down was fun to watch, I'd like to see that in an actual RAW live match.
- Lol Zayn for Eva Marie would've been funny :).. JINDER!!
- Ending Segment wasn't the greatest as the show before Roadblock but it wasn't that bad either.

The go-home show for Roadblock was good and did a good job of setting the stage for the PPV. 7/10

Damn, RAW's produced 4 good shows for 4 straight weeks. I'm amazed.
