Rate Raw and leave a comment to let us know what you thought of the show!


Opening

Kurt Angle came to the ring. He said he would preside over the contract signing between Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey. He then said there would be a fatal fourway for the last spot in the women's MITB match. He was interrupted by Stephanie McMahon who came to the ring. She told Kurt she forgave him for everything. She told him he was doing a phenomenal job but he let his emotions get in the way. So she changed it that she would be the one presiding over the contract signing.

Stephanie claimed that Angle was giving Roman Reigns too much latitude. Roman than came out. He demanded that Stephanie speak directly at him. Stephanie told him that if kept losing his temper he might be fired. Roman asked for Lesnar and Stephanie said she sent their concerns to Vince McMahon. He got mad about not being in MITB. Steph told him he lost his qualifying match so if he had a problem he should take it up with Jinder Mahal. Roman said he already did.

Kevin Owens then came to the ring. He thanked Roman for taking Jinder out because it gave KO the spot in the MITB match. He started a thank you Roman chant. He said he was living proof that Stephanie McMahone does not play favorites because he attacked Shane and Vince and still gave him a job. He leaned on Steph and she told him to never do that again. She then made a match between KO and Roman

Roman Reigns vs Kevin Owens

Roman won by DQ when Jinder Mahal interfered. He beat down Roman with KO afterward. Seth Rollins came with a chair to help before the show cut to commercial.


Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins vs Kevin Owens and Jinder Mahal


Roman and Seth won by pin fall. Jinder attacked them after the match.

Sami Zayn

Zayn wanted to expose Bobby Lashley as a liar by interviewing his sisters. So he invited three men in women's clothes into the ring. They trashed Bobby Lashley. He treated the men like he was really his sister's and talked to them and thank Sami sarcastically. Zayn threatened to hit Bobby with a Helluva kick and told him that his family thought he was garbage. The "women" beat Bobby down and held him for Zayn, but Lashley got out and beat down all the "Women."

B Team vs Breezango

Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey Contract Signing


Nia came out first and Ronda next. Stephanie said the arm thing was in the past and sarcastically asked Ronda how she felt about leap frogging other contenders. Ronda defended herself that Ronda challenged. Steph accused Nia of trying to make a name for herself. Steph kept insulting and trying to incite something. Nia got angry, told Ronda she was going to beat her and both signed the contract. Ronda then moved the table out of the way. She said she was happy the truth came out. She offered a handshake and Nia accepted. Ronda then told Nia she was going take Nia's title and her arm.

Natalya won by pin fall


Elias vs Bobby Roode

I gave it a 6 because some of the matches were okay. But mostly, the show was kinda average. The Ronda Rousey segment was cringe worthy.

Bobby was funny but the segment was painful UNTIL he showed up. I did like how he responded to the whole thing. Sami Zayn, though, should plan his cremation.
Lmao yeah. Bobby is the only ridiculously huge dude with talent apart from Samoa Joe and maybe Big E.

Just like last week the show was just above average. The first hour with Roman was meh until the tag team which wasn't bad. The Bobby segment was cringy af, but the memes from it will be great. Ember winning was pretty great and everything else was just was okay or meh. I gave Raw a 6/10.

I'll review what i saw, i was flipping back & forth with the NHL playoffs.

Opening segment was fine, it seems now they're trying to get Roman cheered by standing up to Stephanie. That's only a temporary solution, it won't work long term.. The tag match went way too long.

Sami Zayn was good, he's great at cutting these heel promos, but when the cross dressers came out i just switch over to the playoffs.

Bliss and Ember. Did not give a damn about this match and changed the channel

Contract signing with Ronda and Nia was so shit. Stephanie needs to shut up and stop hogging all the spotlight when she's around.. The women's division should be renamed the Stephanie McMahon division.

Finn Balor and Braun Strowman was a fun match.. Strowman dominated and picked up the win.. Didn't understand why this match was booked, but it was still good. Strowman never fails to entertain.

Can't give it a proper rating because i only saw 25% of the show, from what i saw Strowman and Finn was the only highlight.

Is anyone going to mention how dead the crowd was at times? I forgot to mention it, but after the first hour it seemed like the crowd just wasn't into anything.
