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


Opening

Braun Strowman came out and made the case that no one could stop him at Money in the Bank. Finn Balor came out and claimed that although Strowman beat him last week, it would be different at MITB. Strowman told Balor he did all right for a little guy. Balor slapped Strowman and Strowman tossed him out of the ring. As Strowman was about to go after Balor, Kurt Angle came out. Angle came out and asked the crowd if they wanted a rematch from last week and he started the match.

Finn Balor vs Braun Strowman

KO kept egging on Strowman and Balor during the match until he interfered, knocking Finn Balor off the ring post.

Balor won by DQ

After the match, KO attacked Balor. He tried to attack Strowman win a ladder, but Braun grabbed the ladder. KO ran from Strowman and Strowman threw the ladder from the ring over halfway up the ramp, almost hitting KO.

Backstage

KO was leaving in a hurry but he was approached by Kurt Angle, who put him in a match with Bobby Roode since KO made comments against him during his commentary during the first match.


Intercontinental Championship: Champion Seth Rollins vs Jinder Mahal


Jinder Mahal won by DQ when Seth Rollins used a chair on him, after constant inteference and use of a chair on him. He then beat Mahal and the Singh brother with the chair before posing on the announce table. Elias then came from behind and hit Seth with a chair, because Seth had interrupted him earlier.


Nia Jax vs Michelle Webb


Ronda Rousey interrupted Nia and went to the announce table. Nia used the match to show that Rousey's moves would be ineffective on her. Nia invited Ronda Rousey into the ring.

Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy vs the Ascension

Wyatt and Hardy won by pin fall


Kevin Owens vs Bobby Roode


KO won by pin fall.

After the match, Braun Strowman came to the ring and destroyed KO. Bobby Roode was cheering him on but then was attacked by Braun as well.

Sami Zayn Apology

Zayn came out and tried to fake an apology to Lashley's family for his skit in the previous week. He went back on it, and Lashley came out and Zayn offered a handshake. Lashely squeezed his hand, implying he crushed Zayn's hand, and then left.


Drew McIntyre vs Chad Gable


McIntyre won by pin fall


Women's Gauntlet for a MITB Spot


Sasha Banks made Ruby Riott tap out to qualify for the MITB ladder match

WWE did everything right up until the Women's gauntlet. I would have given the show an 8, but it was insulting how little time they gave for the women's gauntlet match. I got really irritated. I can't give the show anything more than a five at this point. That is how irritated this made me.

I gave it a 3/10 mainly because women got the main event, but for like 20 or so mins and it was awful, Elias' segment dragged on, and the Sami thing was just dumb. Most of the matches were okay excluding the main event. I would have rated this 7/10, but this show made me irritated through a lot of it and the main event was weak.

Kevin Owens is great on commentary, he was the only good thing about the Strowman/Balor match.

Jinder Mahal can't even put on a solid performance with Seth Rollins. His matches are very boring.

First two matches ended in DQ

Ronda and Nia segment was very awkward..

So far i'm really not enjoying this show, nothing about it.

I love Owens and Roode, but this match was nothing special... Bobby Roode playing cheerleader while Strowman beat up Owens was funny.

Sami Zayn's promo was great. I love his heel work, it was the only highlight of the show for me.. until Lashley came out and ruined the segment.

The rest is not worth reviewing at all... 2/10

Gotta say about MITB, especially after Backlash, I'm disappointed. With the return of the dual-brand PPV's. I figured the cards would be better.
Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley (which... with good build would rule, but this has... not been) Ronda vs Nia, and Reigns vs Jinder are GUARANTEED to get at least one beach ball bouncing around the crowd.

I still can't wait for the MITB matches and even with the misbooked feud Styles vs Nakamura, but even with Asuka's match and Bludgies vs Club the rest of this card looks like a wheat thin.

5/10. The matches were okay, and so were the segments. It's just that nothing really felt like it mattered. This is the problem with such a long gap between Backlash and MitB

This show was ridiculously bad

No excuse for it.

2 out of 10

Side note: I'm astounded at the stupidity of people who rate this crap as high as 5 out of 10... you're what's wrong with this stupid show & the reason they keep having it. This is not acceptable, this does not get by, it was utter garbage.

Just because there is 1 or 2 segments that are okay is not worthy of a 5 rating. Think of the 10 being the best that a show could possible ever be. The greatest dream card or WM ever, the heaven of wrestling shows, this show is dog crap compared to that therefor don't give such a high rating please.

STOP SUPPORTING THIS AWFUL, EVIL COMPANY!

THEY SUCK!

I loved it just for KO running from Strowman to the valet. And my boy Elias bringing back The Acoustic Equalizer

If you rate a weekly show below 5 more times then not. then maybe you should watch something else. But who am I to tell people what to watch? Just continue to watch a show that you don't enjoy.
