RAW

Raw opens with a video package highlighting the recent tension between Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins.

Dean Ambrose comes out

He gets impatient and tells the truck to cut his music. He says he wants to know what is going on with Rollins and calls him out to the ring. Rollins wastes no time coming out to the ring.
Rollins says Ambrose claims he doesn't care, but he keeps showing up when Rollins needs help. Seth asks if they can let bygones be bygones and run this place together. He sticks out his fist and the crowd goes nuts. Ambrose paces around for a minute while he thinks about what to do. He says "You have go to be kidding me" and berates Rollins for walking out on him last week when he stuck his hand out as a sign of friendship.
Rollins says he doesn't even trust himself sometimes, but when they are on the same page, nobody can touch them. He says maybe too much has happened between them to ever mend fences and starts to walk away. Ambrose stops him and finally offers his fist. This time it's Rollins who stares at it for a long time. He decides to leave and Dean grabs him. They argue and shove each other before they break down into a brawl
.
Once they end up outside the ring and stop fighting, Cesaro and Sheamus come out and jump them. They toss Ambrose over the barricade before focusing on Rollins. They bring Seth in the ring to continue the beatdown while the crowd chants "You look stupid" at Sheamus. The Lunatic Fringe recovers and tries to make the save. The tag champs overpower him, but Rollins is able to get up and help. Ambrose and Rollins work together and send them out of the ring.
Ambrose and Rollins finally bump fists and the arena erupts.
Kurt Angle comes out and announces a tag title match at SummerSlam with Sheamus and Cesaro defending against Rollins and Ambrose. The former Shield members stand united in the ring while the champs hold their belts high.

Angle is shown talking to the Hardys when the Miztourage walks in. The

GM books Miz vs. Jordan for tonight before someone runs in and says
they have a problem with Balor and Wyatt. Angle runs to deal with the issue.

Balor and Wyatt can't stop fighting, so Angle says they are having their 
SummerSlam match tonight.

Back in the arena, Elias prepares to serenade us with another song.

Truth interrupts Elias and raps his way to the ring. Elias gets pissed and attacks him before he can get in the ring. He hits Truth with his finisher before grabbing his guitar and posing for the crowd.

The cage Enzo will be in during Big Cass vs. Big Show is in the ring. He gets some good heat when he tries to start his promo. He keeps trying to talk, but the crowd keeps booing him.

He finally starts talking over the boos, which only get louder. He talks some trash about Big Show and Enzo Amore. He says Enzo needs someone big behind him to do all his fighting for him.
Enzo comes out and mocks Cass inability to start his promo over the boos. Big Show comes down to engage in a fight, but Anderson and Gallows attack the giant for some reason. Big Show fights them off for a little while, but he eventually gets taken down by all three men.
They end up slamming the cage door on Big Show's right hand to neutralize his KO punch. A few officials manage to drive them off, but the damage has been done.

Akira Tozawa vs. Neville (C) for the Cruiserweight Championship


Akira Tozawa won and is the New Cruiserweight Champion



Finn Balor vs. Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt won
Wyatt hits a second Sister Abigail before the lights go out. They come back on and he has a rusty bucket in his hands. He pours what looks like blood all over Balor.

(Maybe this means the Demon is coming out of Finn Balor at 


SummerSlam)


Balor teases a return for the Demon King at SummerSlam

The Miz vs. Jason Jordan

Axel and Dallas attack him to cause a DQ. The Hardys run to the ring to make the save.


The Hardy Boyz and Jason Jordon vs Miz and Miztourage
The Hardy Boyz and Jason Jordon won


Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman are out first for the big face to face to face to face showdown heading into SummerSlam.
Paul Heyman starts things off by complaining about his client having to face the top three contenders in a conspiracy that will see Lesnar lose his title.
After Heyman talks for about 10 minutes, Samoa Joe finally heads to the ring.
Reigns marches to the ring. He immediately Spears Joe, so Braun grabs him for a Powerslam. It comes down to Lesnar and Strowman, but the security guards rush in the ring to keep them apart. They try to break through the sea of guards, but they keep getting pushed back. They start beating up the guards until they are the last two men in the ring. Angle calls for the locker room to come out.
Lesnar breaks free and gets in one good shot on Strowman before he is held back. Strowman gets to him and hits one punch of his own before they are separated again. 
The show ends with everyone holding them apart.

Rating:

80/80
Great show as we look on to SummerSlam.
