RAW


The WWE roster is out for a moment of silence to pay tribute to the victims of the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings.




The intro is interrupted by Samoa Joe standing on the announce table. He says people have been accusing him of taking out Reigns last week. Graves tries to talk some sense into him, but Joe just gets more upset.


Samoa Joe makes Cole rewind the footage in response to Cole saying that "fans voted in a poll" and 80% voted thinking Joe is the culprit. He also said that he just conducted a poll and called 80% of the WWE Universe idiots.


Becky Lynch makes her way out for the first match of the night despite Joe saying he wouldn't leave the stage until Reigns showed up.



Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair vs. Natalya and Trish Stratus 


Natalya refuses to break the 5-count and her team gets DQ'd. She drags Lynch to the center of the ring, but Stratus breaks it up and Natalya shoves the legend away. There's a tense stare down but Natalya walks away as Stratus helps the champion.



Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade Almas 


Andrade Almas won with the help of Vega. 




Mike Kanellis pins his wife while she is at the doctor's office and runs out with the title. R-Truth is hiding in the waiting area wearing women's clothes and he rolls Mike up to regain his title. He grabs Carmella and runs away with his baby.



Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman make their way to the ring after the break.


They show a replay of Lesnar destroying Rollins last week. Heyman says Seth is in Pittsburgh and says the crowd shouldn't cheer for someone who is so self-destructive. This brings Rollins out to respond. He limps his way onto the stage with a steel chair.


Rollins tries to hit Brock with the chair but runs right into a kick to his injured ribs. Lesnar picks up the chair and hits him in the ribs again. The Beast proceeds to tear him apart once again.


Brock poses with his title over a fallen Rollins before the show cuts to commercial.



Rollins asks for a mic after the break and says he has been asking himself if all of this is worth it. He says he loves WWE so much and wants to protect it even if it keeps getting him beaten to a pulp every week. He vows to be at SummerSlam and take the title back from Lesnar.




The Viking Raiders vs Jobbers



The Viking Raiders won




We see a video package honoring Harley Race.





Drew McIntyre vs. Cedric Alexander - Kurt Angle as special guest referee 



Drew McIntyre attacks Cedric Alexander during his entrance and beats him all around the ring. He goes for the reverse Alabama slam, but Alexander reverses it and hits a big DDT on the floor. The lights go out and Bray Wyatt appears in the ring to attack Kurt Angle. He brings him down with his version of the Mandible Claw before the lights go out again and he disappears.




The New Day vs. The OC



The match never really gets started as AJ Styles joins Anderson and Gallows in beating down Big E and Xavier Woods. Graves says Kofi is not in Pittsburgh, but Ricochet's music hits and he runs down to make the save.



The OC vs. Ricochet and New Day

The OC won



Samoa Joe comes out and demands Roman Reigns come out to apologize for other people accusing him of being behind the attack last week. Someone tells Joe that Reigns just arrived, so he heads to the parking lot.


As Joe goes to meet Reigns in the parking lot, a car crashes into Reigns' SUV. 



The IIconics (C) vs. Asuka and Kairi Sane vs. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville vs. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross in a Fatal 4 Way for the Women Tag Titles

The Miz is in the ring for MizTV. He brings out Shawn Michaels to oversee his contract signing with Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler talks some trash before he signs on the dotted line. The Miz says he can't wait to face Ziggler next Monday on Raw. Ziggler looks confused.

The Miz reveals Ziggler is facing someone else. He looks at Shawn but HBK says it's not him. Goldberg's music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Ziggler bails before Goldberg gets to the ring. The former WCW champion picks up the contract and signs it in the ring.

Goldberg tells Ziggler he's next before HBK lays him out with Sweet Chin Music to end the show.



Rating: 80/80

Great show and matches as we get closer to SummerSlam.
