This was an average Raw. Not much to say about it. I like that they have given a reason why Ronda has gotten such an early title shot. No complaints.
Just watched the Braun vs Balor match. It was a good match. Balor got some good offence.

bruh why was Steph in 2 big segments in 1 night? Like, she wasn't needed for that Ronda/Nia thing at all, she once again just took turns verbally burying each one of them as usual lol. And I also find it funny how she shortly trashed Reigns, expecting that the crowd would buy into it and cheer her on, but they kept on booing her anyways. So not even Reigns' heat can get the crowd to jump on Steph's side.
I actually really liked Braun vs Finn. Both of them put on a great David v Goliath match with both looking strong afterwards. I didn't expect Finn to get so much shit in tbr, even slapping Strowman and showing a lot of guts. He technically took Braun to his limits which resulted in him having to hit 2 running powerslams to make sure he defeated Balor. The crowd seemed to like it, I liked it, good stuff

Another waste of three hours, another crappy show....3/10 is all this is getting:
- "Raw is on a roll"...Sorry Kurt, I love you and all but...on a roll? Almost everything since Wrestlemania is anything but "on a roll". I feel most will agrree it's quite the opposite cause these shows have been worse and worse as the weeks fly by....
- So poor little Roman is getting screwed by "management". Aww, poor Roman. That, mind you, is the same Roman that has main evented four Wrestlemanias in a row, the same Roman that has gotten one opportunity after the other and the same Roman that WWE insist on pushing as the top guy of the company....Yes Roman, we feel for you....Seriously, how stupid do these people thinki we are?
- Roman Reigns vs. Jinder Mahal at Money in the Bank...Yeah, I'm sure Chicago will be rocking for this one...Seriously, I cannot wait to hear the reaction....that is, as long as Kevin Dunn and co don't do their "magic" again with the sound....
- I truly feel for Sami Zayn cause what they gave him to work with was utter nonsense, to say the least. Creative is on fire.....NOOOOOOOOT, as Borat would put it....This actually reminded me of what they tried to do with Alexa Bliss and Bailey last year and I'm having a hard time picking which one was worse...
- At least we got a pretty good main event...15 minutes though can't make up for a shitty remaining two hours and forty five minutes...

The Lashley sisters segment was so wacky and Ludacris that it makes me like Bobby Lashley even more. Wrestling is inherently wacky, so that segment like that is just expected.
It wasn't bad like Old Day or Bayleys this is your life segments.
Unless next week Bobby gets booed even more because of it.

I don't know why Sami went to the effort to pay henchmen to pretend to be Lashleys sisters. What was he trying to accomplish? Obviously that plan wouldn't embarrass Lashley. Just makes Sami look stupid.
Here's my thing with Roman.
In storyline, I'd assume management would see the roster as basically a list. He's right below Rhyno in alphabetical order. Bonus points for being a draw if you look at it UFC style.
Roman Reigns main evented Wrestlemania because he won a #1 Contender's Elimination Chamber match. He went against Brock Lesnar and lost. He was challenged by Lesnar to a rematch and while he lost on a technicality he's still 0-2. He was given a fair shot at Money in the Bank, but by wrestling logic (because if Sami Zayn was attacked by Lashley during his MITB qualifier he wouldn't be gifted another opportunity) he lost...
That's not just me saying it. Stephanie McMahon is.
Roman Reigns is a heel.
