RAW

- Aleister Black def. Curt Hawkins (Main Event match)

- Noam Dar def. Gran Metalik (Main Event match)

- Dean Ambrose is first out for the Raw portion of the evening, quickly followed by Miz & Maryse. With Kurt Angle not present, Ambrose & Miz/Maryse are co-General Managers for the night (Angle named Dean, Stephanie McMahon named Miz). BRAUN STROWMAN is out with his arm in a sling. Strowman says he’s hurt, but he can still beat Kalisto with one-arm tied behind his back. Ambrose books a rematch between Strowman & Kalisto (with the Monster having one-arm tied behind his back, of course) and Finn Bálor vs. Miz which starts... right now!

- Miz def. Bálor by DQ when Miz uses his GM powers to make the official disqualify his opponent, but Ambrose is out to restart the match after banning Maryse from ringside.

- Finn Bálor def. Miz via pinfall following a Coup de Grace

- Nia Jax approaches Alexa Bliss in the locker room to ask her why she didn’t run her down last week. She asks if the champ really meant that she’s great, and Alexa says of course. Nia figures that means she should get a title shot after Bayley’s rematch. Bliss says she doesn’t make matches, Angle does, but she’ll ask. Jax says Alexa has a new best friend until that match gets made, as she’s gonna watch the champ’s back to make sure she gets her shot.

- Alexa Bliss (with Nia Jax) def. Mickie James (who brings out Bayley as back-up) thanks to an assist from Nia, which Bayley makes her pay for. The champ tries to continue the beating on James after the bell, but Bayley chases her off. Nia comes in and punishes Mickie.

- Miz & Maryse approach Dean backstage. Ambrose says he’s booked most of the show, so they can take off. Miz wants to know when his Miz TV with “one of the guys from One Direction” goes on, and Dean says Raw is about more action, less talking tonight. Miz then says Dean’s been hiding out back here, so he books him in a match with Bray Wyatt for later tonight.

- Charly Caruso interviews Samoa Joe. She asks about his attack on Seth Rollins during last week’s main event. Joe says Seth tried to move on to a title shot before he was done with him, so he reminded him it’s over when Joe says it’s over. He says he’s turning the volume up on thier feud, and Rollins attacks. They brawl backstage.

- One-armed Strowman vs. Kalisto; Braun refuses to agree to the match because he’s injured and Roman Reigns is a coward who won’t face him. The ref calls for the bell anyway. Strowman starts to beatdown Kalisto with his arm in a sling when Roman’s music hits. A heavily taped up Reigns climbs in the ring for a staredown. Roman kicks him in his injured arm and then fells him with three Superman punches. Braun rolls out, so Reigns gives chase and runs right into a big boot. Roman fights back to wrap Strowman’s injured shoulder around the ringpost. He stays in control and grabs a chair, and Braun slinks out through the crowd holding his arm while Reigns stands tall in the ring.

- Joe vs. Rollins is announced for later tonight.

- Goldust gives R-Truth a locker room pep talk. Says they were disrespected by Braun and Angle, so he wants to turn back the clock like the Hardys and show they’re a force to be reckoned with in Tag Turmoil.

- Tag turmoil starts with an Enzo Amore & Big Cass promo about pooping your pants. They get Cesaro & Sheamus first.

- Cesaro & Sheamus def. Enzo Amore & Big Cass via submission (Cesaro Sharpshooter on Enzo)

- Cesaro & Sheamus def. Beauty & The Man-Beast via pinfall (Sheamus on Slater after a Brogue Kick... the heels also jumped Heath and Rhyno, taking out Rhyno, before they even made it to the ring)

- Cesaro & Sheamus def. Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows via pinfall (Sheamus on Gallows after a Brogue Kick)

- Cesaro & Sheamus def. Golden Truth via pinfall (Cesaro on R-Truth via roll-up after Truth misses a splash) to become #1 contenders to the Hardys tag titles

- Post-match beatdown from Shea-Saro continues until the Hardyz music hits. The challengers wait for them in the ring, then bail when they slide in. Matt & Jeff pose for cheers and “DELETE” chants while Cesaro & Sheamus exit.

- Seth Rollins def. Samoa Joe via disqualification when Joe sends Seth head-first into an exposed turnbuckle after the referee warned him not to. Joe then locks on the Coquina Clutch and keeps it on for a while while the official yells at him some more.

- Despite not being there, Angle made Miz vs. Ambrose for the IC title next week

- In a clip from Facebook Live, Neville tells TJP that if wants a title shot, he need to beat Jack Gallagher tonight, then the champ will take care of the rest. Neville’s on commentary for that match.

- TJP def. Jack Gallagher via pinfall with a roll-up and a handful of tights. Perkins slaps on a post-match Knee-Bar until Austin Aries (in street clothes and a knee brace) runs in to take out TJP.

- Sasha Banks def. Alicia Fox via pinfall following double knees from the top rope (the pin didn’t look clean, and they show her left shoulder coming up on replay)

- Miz is on commentary for Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt

- Bray Wyatt def. Dean Ambrose via pinfall following Sister Abigail (Miz went ringside and posed with the IC title, getting Ambrose to hit him with a suicide dive, but creating an open to hit him with the belt outside before rolling him back in to Bray)

- Miz attacks Dean post-match and cuts a promo saying he’ll win the title next week and it’ll be AWESOME

i am sad to report that goldust looked like poo poo tonight. part of me hopes that two-week fart of a storyline was an attempt at doing a retirement thing for him because, man, he looked bad.

That's dumb, have Dawson carry the mantle in singles action until Dash is healed so he can hype their brand.

The crowd seemed to shift between complete silence and deafening noise, so I assume they were being muted? Except the crowd booing Roman was loud as gently caress and I figured that would be muted so... I don't know!

Nah, I think whilst they, (WWE), are still booking Roman as the bestest strongest coolest biggest bowest wowest of dogs, in regards to crowd reaction they have decided to go with the "he gets the biggest reaction of the night", and "people are really passionate about him". "please buy a ticket so you too can come and boo this man" instead of tryinmg to pretend that anyone but Vince likes him.

6 pages of a discussion thread, holy moly. That's TNA-esque but interesting on a psychological level. Everyone seems to just like hate-watching RAW and when given the opportunity to read the results beforehand and skip the 3 hours entirely, almost everyone will jump on the possibility. RAW should go back to always being taped so everyone can break out of the downward spiral of spending 3 hours watching something they hate and just spend a minute reading results instead. I think it would improve everyone's mental well being.

Thanks to the Raw spoilers telling me that Raw was going to be bad, I got some extra sleep and even got a run in before work. Thanks, raw spoilers.

In other news, Braun is out for a few weeks, now there's basically no reason to watch Raw right now.

Everyone is just going to read spoilers and not watch a minute of WWE programming this week.

It will be the happiest, friendliest, conflict-free WWE discussion thread in the history of the sport. A great weight has been lifted off our collective shoulders.
