RAW

The show opens with the usual intro video before we go live to the arena for MizTV.
Miz calls out Jason Jordan so he can finish what they started last week. Kurt Angle's music hits and he comes out on the stage.
Angle says Jordan will be facing Curtis Axel later, but for now, he has secured a great guest for MizTV. Brock Lesnar's music hits and he comes out with Paul Heyman.
Miz criticizes Heyman for having Lesnar booked in a Fatal 4-Way match and says he is putting his money on Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and Samoa Joe. Heyman and Lesnar just stand there and let Miz rant about how Lesnar is going to lose the title and then take his ball and go home, and he will be happy to see him go.
The Advocate asks if Miz and Maryse ever role play and suggests they do a little right now. He says Miz is Reigns, Dallas is Samoa Joe and Axel is Strowman. He then sicks Lesnar on all of them before leaving the ring.
Lesnar bulldozes over all three members of The Miztourage before hitting an F5 on each man and leaving triumphantly.


Seth Rollins vs. Sheamus w/ Cesaro at ringside

Sheamus won
Rollins hits the tag champs with a suicide dive outside the ring, but Cesaro and Sheamus easily overpower him and send him into the barricade. They check the ramp to make sure Ambrose doesn't come down to make the save while the crowd chants his name. They bring Seth in the ring and hit their tag finisher.

After Rollins and Ambrose bicker backstage, Jason Jordan heads to the ring for his match. Angle is backstage with Axel and the doctor says he can't clear him to compete. He finds some random jobber who happens to be standing backstage and sends him to the ring to face Jordan.


Jason Jordon vs. A Jobbler

Jason Jordon won

Bayley has a hard time watching the footage of her injury and says she is sorry she won't be able to face Bliss for the title at SummerSlam. She says the fans helped make her feel a lot better. 

Sasha Banks comes out after Bayley says The Boss should be the one to challenge Bliss in her place. She hugs Bayley before we head to a break.

We will get two Triple Threat matches to see who gets to fight in a singles match on next week's Raw for a chance to fight Bliss for the title at SummerSlam.


Sasha Banks vs. Emma vs. Alicia Fox in a Triple Threat w/ Alexa Bliss at commentary

Sasha Banks won and advances to singles match next week and faces the winner of the second triple threat match.


Big Show and Enzo Amore vs. Anderson and Gallows

Anderson and Gallows won thanks to the distraction of Big Cass
Enzo tries to stop Cass from attacking Big Show, but he gets whipped into the barricade. Cass stalks Amore around the ring as he tries to escape, which allows Big Show to recover and hit a KO Punch to knock Cass out cold.

Finn Balor comes out and declares Toronto to be Balor Club. A Too Sweet chant starts and Balor responds before talking about beating up Wyatt last week.

Balor tells Wyatt the next time he wants to take a shot, he better not miss. The lights go out and Wyatt appears in the ring. Balor is sitting on the turnbuckle waiting for him. Balor jumps over hm and hits a kick followed by a sling blade. The lights go out again and Wyatt disappears. He reappears on the big screen laughing. He says he understands why the crowd loves Balor, but he will still take him down.


Dean Ambrose vs. Cesaro w/ Sheamus at ringside

Dean Ambrose won
Sheamus attacks him after the bell, but Rollins runs to the ring to make the save.
Rollins drives the tag champs away and then looks down at Ambrose as he tries to get to his feet. The crowd chants Yes as they have a staring contest. Ambrose looks pissed, but he sticks his fist out anyway. Rollins looks at it for a long time before shaking his head and walking away.


Nia Jax vs. Dana Brooke vs. Mickie James w/ Alexa Bliss on commentary 

Nia Jax won
Nia Jax will face Sasha Banks next week for a chance to face Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam for the Women's Championship


Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman in a Last Man Standing Match

Samoa Joe grabs Reigns from the crowd and locks him in the Coquina Clutch. He chokes out The Big Dog and leaves both men laying at ringside as several officials try to drive him back. The ref counts and Braun pops up at the last second to win the match.
The show ends with Braun standing in the ring while Joe stares at Reigns at ringside.

Rating:


70/70


Pretty awesome show and matches as we look on to SummerSlam! At least this week we had some more women involved tonight.
