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

Opening

Elias was in the ring singing about how he hit Seth Rollins with his guitar the previous week. Rollins came to the ring and got a chair. He used the chair to knock the guitar out of Elias's hands and when he was about to hit Elias with the chair, he was attacked from behind by Jinder Mahal. Roman Reigns came to save Rollins, pushing Mahal and Elias into retreat. Kurt Angle, however, immediately came out and made a tag team match

Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins vs Elias and Jinder Mahal

Elias and Mahal won by pin fall

Curt Hawkins vs James Harden

If Hawkins ends his 199 match losing streak, everyone in the arena gets a free taco.

Hawkins lost by DQ when Baron Corbin came and attacked Harden, deliberately continuing Hawkins' losing streak. Corbin hit Hawkins with a taco and poured the taco table over on him.


NIa Jax vs Natalya


Nia won by pin fall. Nattie got her knee twisted during the match but the referee didn't stop it. Rousey blamed Nia for continuing the match against Nattie even though Nia showed concern for her after and Rousey was being rude and dismissive of Nia.

Later when Nattie on crutches, Ronda was trying to force Nia to leave but Nia said Nattie was her friend too. Nattie told Nia she knew Nia didn't hurt her on purpose but she got sick of the bickering between Ronda and Nia and left.

Braun Strowman vs Bobby Roode

Braun Strowman won by pin fall

Tag Team Battle Royal for Number One Contendership

The B-Team won the match.

Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley invited Sami Zayn to come to the ring to speak to him face to face. Zayn's music played but at first no one came out. But Zayn was in the crowd. He refused to come to the ring and instead had Instagram's for Lashley. He mocked the quotes Lashley put on there. Zayn kept on calling him a fake and a liar and Lashley took it in good humor until Zayn questioned whether he had lied about serving in the army. Lashley's face got serious finally and he took his jacket off.


Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon vs the Riott Squad


Alexa Bliss was hurt early in the match. Bayley came to replace her and they won by pin fall, although it doesn't make sense why.

After the match, Baron Corbin and Kurt Angle were watching the match and as "Constable," Corbin forced Angle to reverse the decision. The match was overturned and the Riott Squad won by DQ.


Kevin Owens vs Finn Balor


Balor won by DQ and KO continued to attack him after the match. KO climbed the ladder to do a big frog splash on Balor but kept chickening out and going down a run or two before trying again. This gave Balor enough time to recover and go up the ladder. He hit the coup de grace from nearly the top of the extra tall ladder. He then went back up and got the briefcase above the ring.

A supremely bad show. The best part, honestly, was the bit with Hawkins. Balor's coup de grace from the ladder was cool too. Otherwise, this was just three really painful hours.

I hate to say this, but it only seems like the product is getting worse. I already thought it was quite bad. Yikes...

When the best part of a three hour show is a man getting knocked out by a taco, you know the product has serious issues.

It almost seems like they are trying to gain more of a child audience or something. They need to hire better writers.

What they were saying in the room that maybe it will get better if Vince spends more of his time on the XFL and they can purge some of his yes men, then who knows? but honestly I think that's hoping for too much

Yeah at this point, his influence is too deep in the veins of the company. I don't think things will go through any major changes until (well, IF) a new company comes up in the US, or Vince passes. I kept thinking things will get better now that they have a huge roster filled with really good talent... But alas, I am wrong. It seems as if they did better 10 years ago with less (greater) talent on the roster.

I think if I talk about this RAW... I may get banned from the site, so I'm going to leave it at that since I'm in a good mood

But it's definitely not from that show

No, Moe. I think none of us who watched the show would hold anything against you.

This show on paper looks like it copiously sucks.

At least they're trying something new with a lot of this. They're trying to tell stories, but they just wind up looking like storiez.

Another bad show this week. The best part was The ending of the show as it went off air, and the best part was well there wasn't one. I only gave this a 3 out of 10 due to the fact Ember Moon was on tv.

Fuck this show.

Stop trying to destroy Seth Rollins as a babyface by pairing him with Roman Reigns.

Curt Hawkins should not be on RAW facing enhancement talent. It's just a waste of a segment.

Nia Jax beat Natalya in a terrible match, the aftermath had potential but they didn't do shit. They should have had Nia attack Ronda when she was attending to Nattie.

Bobby Roode is a awful babyface

The tag division is a joke. Nobody cares about any of these teams anymore.

Sami Zayn's promo was fine, but this story is so fucking stupid.

I skipped the women's match and most of the main-event.. Didn't expect anything after the first 2 in a half hours of the show.

1/10 for the Sami Zayn promo.

What on earth is up with the WWE trying to play on Kevin Owens being afraid of heights! We just forgetting about the last two MITBs he has been apart of!?

thought it was an alright show tbh. Better then last week. But then again I wouldn't dream of watching a full three hours. When you just watch the youtube clips it more enjoyable. I don't know why any sane person would watch three hours of Raw.

I only watched highlights. Sami Zayn roasting Bobby Lashley and his corny quotes of the day was pretty funny.
