WWE Raw: 5 Must-See Moments
1) Bobby Lashley defeats Keith Lee; Goldberg returns
Just 24-hours after easily defeating Kofi Kingston, WWE Champion Bobby Lashley appeared on WWE Raw alongside MVP. Lashley and MVP made an open challenge which was quickly answered by the returning Keith Lee. Unfortunately, Lee’s return was fell flat with a disappointing crowd reaction which was reflective in the match itself. Lashley didn’t have too much issue with Lee and got the win after the Hurt Lock.
After the match, Lashley stood tall before the internet rumors proved true as Goldberg made his way to the ring. As he’s done before in recent years, Goldberg kept it simple, telling Lashley “I’m next.” It looks like Lashley vs Goldberg will be on tap for WWE Summerslam.
A new champion crowned
2) Charlotte vs Rhea Ripley, Nikki Cross cashes in MITB briefcase
After defeating Rhea Ripley for the Raw Women’s Title at WWE Money in the Bank, the Monday Night raw main event featured a rematch. The WWE Raw main event was a few steps behind their PPV match but it still got the job done (Match felt **3/4). Charlotte attempted to retreat from ringside with belt in hand. Ripley grabbed her but was hit with the belt causing Charlotte to be disqualified.
Both women brawl after the match with Ripley getting the best of Charlotte. With Charlotte laying in the ring, Nikkie A.S.H.’s music hits as she cashes in her MITB briefcase and winning the title after a top rope splash.
A legend returns
3) John Cena challenges Roman Reigns for WWE Summerslam
In the main event of WWE Money in the Bank, Roman Reign defeated Edge with some help from Seth Rollins. With Reigns standing tall after the match, John Cena’s music hits to a thunderous ovation. Cena makes his way to the ring, stares down Reigns and hits him with the “U Can’t See Me” pose. To kick off WWE Raw, Cena made his way to the ring and made it clear that he wanted Reigns at WWE Summerslam. Before Cena could leave the ring, Riddle came to the ring and both men shared a “bro” chant.
WWE Raw: Disappointing debut
4) Kross jobs out in debut
Karrion Kross is the current NXT Champion but made his debut on WWE Raw, minus his manager Scarlett and his epic black & white entrance. Kross’ opponent was Jeff Hardy, who has been used as a jobber for the last year. Despite Kross being a non-stop monster on WWE NXT, Hardy was able to roll up Kross and put his foot on the ropes to get the win. The match was about *ish due to it’s short length. Kross’ booking caused many to scratch their heads in the process.
5) Drew McIntyre gets his revenge
Jinder Mahal, Dilsher Shanky and Rinku Singh poke fun at Drew McIntyre for not winning at Money in the Bank. Mahel points out that it’s his birthday before highlighting the issues the two have had in recent weeks. McIntyre appears from behind and knocks Mahel and Singh to the outside of the ring. McIntyre grabs a steel chair and his Shanky 20 separate times on WWE Raw.
