Rate Raw and leave some comments to let us know what you think of the show!

Opening

Vince McMahon introduced Stephanie McMahon and Triple H and they introduced an all women's PPV in October.


Raw Tag Team Championship: Champions B Team vs Deleter of Worlds


B Team retained their titles by pin fall

Sasha Banks and Bayley vs Samantha Simon and Karen Lundy

Banks and Bayley won by pin fall


Braun Strowman


Strowman came to the ring and talked about his MITB contract. He was interrupted by Kevin Owens who vowed to make his life hell. Baron Corbin ordered Jinder Mahal to help Strowman with his anger. Strowman beat up Jinder and Singh.

Mickie James vs Natalya

Mickie won by pin fall

Backstage

Baron Corbin, Stephanie McMahon, Kurt Angle and Kevin Owens were backstage. KO demanded a match for Strowman's MITB contract.. Angle said no but Stephanie said yes.

Mojo Rawley vs Tyler Breeze

Rawley won by pin fall


Drew McIntyre vs Finn Balor


Balor won by DQ when Dolph Ziggler got involved. The two were beating up on Balor until Rollins came in and beat up Ziggler. Angle then started this back up as a tag team match.

Seth Rollins and Finn Balor vs Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre

Seth Rollins and Finn Balor won by pin fall


Ember Moon vs Liv Morgan


Ember Moon won by pin fall

Roman Reigns vs Bobby Lashley

Absolute Zero. I mean, this is ridiculous. So after failing to beat Lesnar three times, Roman gets yet another title shot rather than WWE doing the smart thing and giving us a fresh match of Lashley vs Lesnar.

Oh, and let's take the best thing on Raw, Braun Strowman, and put him in a match where is forced to defend his MITB contract. Yeah, I know he won't lose it but honestly, just the fact they're doing this pisses me off

And I am not going to get my hopes up about the women's PPV because my guess is that they're going to make it crap.

Nothing good here. I got to see Chad Gable for a couple seconds.

My fiance just said "When Elias is the best thing on the show, you might need a break." Haha.

Yeah I know I always watch this show no matter how bad it is, and I probably will continue to do so. But if Bliss and Carmella walk out of Summerslam with their belts, Roman wins the Universal or Braun loses his contract, then I am sorry, nothing can make me watch this crap.

First off.. LMAO at Reigns winning.. Literally burst out laughing when he pinned Lashley.

Another standard addition of RAW, below average, but that's normal for them

Braun Strowman and Owens had a good segment, but Strowman is starting to seem like an asshole. It's hard not to feel bad for Kevin Owens in this feud.

McIntyre/Ziggler vs. Balor/Rollins was a really good match, Rollins get's another IC Title match at SummerSlam. He's just going to lose again

Main-event was good, very funny that Roman won. I think for sure Lashley would win or it would end in a no contest to make a triple threat.. Everybody knows the reaction Roman and Brock will get at SummerSlam.. Nobody should blame Brooklyn that night, they know what they're getting into.

Awful show, 2/10

I watched the opening announcement and I was disappointed. Then the hype package for Raw started, and just seeing the card made me switch the channel.

This helps me know I made the right choice.

I don't see the point of an all women's PPV. The point of this whole change for the division was so that male and female talent would be on the same playing field but now they're just doing shit nobody asked for. Like, I don't need them to be excluded on an entirely different playing field, that doesn't make their matches better in any way, just make sure you have 2 or 3 good women's matches on a normal card first lol.
They better have really good stuff planned for this because otherwise we're just gonna have a bunch of barely average matches filling an entire PPV because, if we're being honest, the women of the main roster haven't stolen the show in a long ass time. Maybe Ronda can save them but that's their only real hook at the moment. Go ahead and have those women's tag titles on there too, I'm sure they're all gonna craft together amazing matches judging by every basic ass women's tag match we've seen on TV for years now lmao

Yeah, don't call it "Revolution" ...that would just make too much sense.

OH WAIT... the ppv is fucking stupid anyway so it fits perfectly. Stephanie McMahon needs a punch in the head. Right after Vince.

"Yeah I saved up $600 for a PPV floor seat, lets spend it on an all womens PPV where I go and see Bayley"
They're going to have to practically give the tickets away.

This show's so fucking stupid... but let's all just keep watching, makes about as much sense as this STUPID GODDAMN SHOW!

Yeah...

I'm not watching it WWE...mainly because you'll just
put Alexa & Carmella over more talented wrestlers
again & frankly...fuck that.

However...

If both Ronda & Becky are the Champions by then...
I MAY change my mind & watch it.

Also if Dakota Kai is wrestling at the PPV...

I like Dakota Kai...

*Sigh*

..........I like the women's paperview.

OH OH WHAT WHOA NO WAY HOW COULD YOU WHY WHAT HOW HUH WHAT

Put your flames and pitchforks away people.
WWE is now an easy 0-3 for PPV's in the new co-brand PPV era, and now that we see the main event for Summerslam they're 0-4.

Maybe it's because of this or that but it's better than Clash of Champions being that month. At least it's new, fresh, and different.
And if that's their way of getting the Divas' belts onto wrestlers than screw it, just do it already

I'm remembering Summerslam last year screaming JUST LET ROMAN WIN ALREADY. DON'T PUT THIS OFF ANY LONGER. One year later and here we still are.

If they put in effort to make it a great ppv with proper builds, it just so happens it's between just women, it could be good. I'm not looking forward to it because the way things are usually set in WWE, we'll have three hours of over staged matches with lackluster builds, ending with everyone hugging in the end. The WWE women have all the potential in the world, but creative gives them crap after crap after crap. If they don't go into overdive mode for Evolution, it will be pure crap because of that
