RAW

RAW opens with a recap of Lesnar seemingly turning on Paul Heyman last week.

Kurt Angle and Baron Corbin come to the ring to open the show. Kurt begins by talking about Rousey. He puts her over as a true professional, unlike Brock Lesnar. Corbin warns him to watch his mouth, but Angle tells him Lesnar is ruining the universal title. Before Angle can say what he plans to do about Lesnar attacking him, Roman Reigns heads to the ring.

Reigns calls out Corbin for not coming to Angle's aide last week when Lesnar attacked him. Angle says he hopes Reigns beats Lesnar at SummerSlam and Corbin calls him unprofessional.

Angle books Corbin to face Reigns right now after The Lone Wolf insults him. Corbin takes a cheap shot at Reigns right as the bell rings.



Roman Reigns vs. Baron Corbin

Baron Corbin decides to bail and walks up the ramp as the ref counts him out. Finn Balor's music hits and he blocks Corbin's path. Roman hits another Superman Punch before rolling him back into the ring for a Spear to get the win.

Finn Balor comes into the ring and takes out Corbin. Just a little revenge after these past few weeks.

Angle tells Seth Rollins he can face Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler in a tag match if he can find a partner.


Bobby Roode vs. Mojo Rawley
Mojo Rawley won



Elias is in the ring after the break and he begins to strum a tune. He is apparently filming another documentary and he keeps telling the cameraman how to shoot him as he plays.

Elias gets some heat when he insults the crowd in Jacksonville. He insults Bobby Lashley a few times, so Lashley makes his way to the ring to respond.


Lashley says he enjoyed Elias' documentary, but Elias says it portrayed him as too egotistical. Bobby says it was accurate.




They throw a few insults at each other and Elias tries to leave the ring. Then he takes a cheap shot at Lashley and knocks him down. Bobby makes the camera crew come back in the ring so they can film him hitting a vertical suplex.


Rezar vs. Titus O’Neil
Rezar won


We return to see Owens sitting on the stage with the new set for The Kevin Owens Show. He welcomes Jinder Mahal as his guest. KO says Mahal's techniques have taught him how to relax. He credits Jinder with helping him through the pain of being thrown off of a steel cage.
Owens talks about how he and Mahal both have wins over The Monster Among Men in recent weeks. He keeps talking over Mahal every time he tries to talk. Owens gets a little heated when talking about wanting to regain the universal title. He tells Mahal he should face Strowman again and teases bringing Braun out for a match right now, but then he reveals Strowman is nowhere to be found. Then the stage 
starts to move. Strowman ends up tipping the whole thing over from underneath.



Braun Strowman vs. Jinder Mahal
KO sneaks back and grabs the briefcase again. Strowman catches him and hits a hard right hand. He gets disqualified when he hits Mahal with the case, making Jinder the winner by DQ.


We see a video package of a look into Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns feud leading to SummerSlam.

Angle and Corbin tell Reigns Stephanie has decided he can't work a second match as Rollins' partner. Seth heads to the ring by himself. Roman walks back and punches Corbin in the ribs.

Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler
Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler won


The B Team vs. The Revival

The lights go out and we see Wyatt and Hardy appear on the apron where Axel and Wilder were standing. They cause a DQ when they attack Dawson and Dallas.



Renee Young interviews Paul Heyman about what happened with Brock Lesnar last week. Heyman says he doesn't know where he stands with Brock right now because he changed his number. Heyman gets uncomfortable and says this interview will just make Lesnar angry. He accuses Young of taking pleasure in his pain. He says he still think of Lesnar as a friend.
Heyman still says Lesnar will beat Reigns at SummerSlam, especially against a man as angry as Lesnar is right now.




Riott Squad vs. Sasha Banks and Bayley
Riott Squad won thanks to a distraction from Ruby Riott




Ronda Rousey vs. Alicia Fox
Ronda Rousey won

Alexa tries to attack her from behind, but Rousey easily throws her away. The show ends with Ronda and Nattie celebrating while Bliss runs away.


Rating: 80/80

Great show and matches as we look onto SummerSlam.
