RAW REVIEW 09/21/2020
Tonight is the Go-Home Edition of Monday Night Raw with Clash Of Champions “Gold Rush” this Sunday! Just days before he defends his WWE Championship against Randy Orton Drew McIntyre has another huge task as he will face Keith Lee after their match last week got interrupted by Retribution. Speaking of that match, we will get an update on the condition of Randy Orton and see if he will make it to Sunday. Plus, we will see a clash of giants inside Raw Underground as Braun Strowman takes on Dabba-Kato. Finally, we will see a Triple Threat Tag Team Match to determine who will face The Street Profits for the Raw Tag Team Championships on Sunday! Will it be the team of Dominik Mysterio and Humberto Carrillo or the team of Seth Rollins and Murphy or Angel Garza and Andrade?
Raw comes to us from the Amway Center Inside the WWE Thunderdome!
Raw kicks off with the intro package being messed up. We then are shown Retribution swarming ringside.
In-Ring Segment: Retribution
Retribution is now a part of WWE. We then see what looks like Mia Yim tell WWE Management to think again that they are safe because they got contracts. She tells how they are done being stepped on for some imaginary brass ring. Another member says they are going to rebuild it in the image of Retribution and do it by draining the WWE of its SuperStars. He says how they all collect their paydays like whores. He says they will make them pay for their sins because they are the judge, the jury, and the executioners. Here comes The Hurt Business.
They make their way to the ring but Retribution retreats. MVP tells them that tonight they aren’t so tough. MVP tells them that since they are still running their mouths they will take care of it themselves. He tells them they have the opportunity to be on the business side of being hurt. Lashley says they aren’t kids with masks and they will beat them down and look good doing it. More members of Retribution now surround the ring. The Hurt Business starts the fight with them but the numbers game catches up. Lasley is now the last one laid out in the ring as Raw goes to commercial.
My Opinion:
This was a crazy way to start off the night as once again Retribution takes over Raw. I like the idea of the group but I’d like to see more action from them. Now that they have contracts we can expect to see them even more. It’d be cool if they really let this group air grievances and have some raw promos. Also, it’d be nice to see them actually win and make an impact. It seems groups like this always are made to be beaten by a group of WWE superstars so hopefully Retribution will get some victories under their belts and actually do something. This was an exciting start though and I can’t wait to see what they do going forward and what all these other members mean for the group.
Backstage Segment: The Mysterio Family (Rey, Angie, Aalyah)
Sarah asks Rey what it’s like to watch his son pursue his first WWE Championship. Rey says family means everything and he made his mark being a tag team champion so to watch his son follow in his footsteps is a true honor. He says he is so blessed.
Match 1: Dominik Mysterio & Humberto Carrillo vs Seth Rollins & Murphy vs Andrade & Angel Garza:
Winner’s challenge for the Raw Tag Team Championships at Clash Of Champions “Gold Rush”
***Before the match, The Street Profits join Tom Phillips, Jerry “The King” Lawler, and Byron Saxton on Commentary!
As Raw returns, Carrillo starts the match with Murphy. Murphy controls Carrillo. Andrade comes in and the beat down of Carrillo continues. Carrillo is not looking good in the early going as he continues to be on the defensive. Carrillo fights back now and gets Murphy and Andrade to the outside. Carillo now is in control. Dominik flies to the outside and assists in taking them down. Dominik goes for the cover but can’t get the three. Murphy and Andrade become the legal men and Murphy takes over with a huge kick to Andrade. Rollins meanwhile leaves the ringside area and says he has a lot on his mind. Garza now comes in and is the legal man. After Andrade hits Murphy with an elbow he tags in Garza. Murphy is sent to Garza and Garza hits the Wing Clipper on him. He then covers for the 1 2 3 on the cover.
Winners: Andrade & Angel Garza: Will challenge for the Raw Tag Team Championships at Clash Of Champions “Gold Rush”
My Opinion:
This match was quicker than I expected and I was really hoping for a longer, drawn-out match that showed how much fighting for the tag titles actually meant. Instead, it felt pushed to the side and didn’t set up for a match that we have to see this Sunday. Once again we get Garza and Andrade challenging for the titles and although each team is great we have seen them face so many times and we needed something new and fresh. I think they can deliver on Sunday however, it just feels like once again the tag titles are thrown to the side and they play it safe with the booking in order to not have to deal with it.
Backstage Segment: Shane McMahon
Shane McMahon tells again about Braun Strowman taking on Dabba-Kato. He then tells the security guard he is heading to the KO Show to promote this. He tells the security guard he will be all good on the show. The security guard questions this but Shane tells him he has a couple of surprises.
Backstage Segment: Retribution
Retribution tells the Hurt Business they could have been part of the solution but they bend their knee for WWE and are part of the problem while others are out in the cold. They say The Hurt Business asked for the opportunity out of greed. They say their payment won’t come in the form of money but it will come with a match with them and it will be paid with Retribution.
In-Ring Segment: The Kevin Owens Show w/ Special Guest: Shane McMahon
KO tells how the last time he was on the KO Show he was attacked by his guest Captain Hot Topic. He then says that it’s okay because he took care of him last week. He then says his guest is not someone he thought he would give this platform to but 2020 has been a weird year so let’s keep it going. He then introduces Shane McMahon!
Shane thanks Kevin for having him. Shane tells him there is always an agenda with him but he’ll go with it. Owens says what they went through is water under the bridge because tonight is about what Shane does best, promoting. Owens tells him to promote away because he can’t wait. Shane says we have the battle of the behemoths in Dabba-Kato and Braun Strowman. Shane says how Kevin was in Raw Underground a few weeks ago and met Dabba-Kato. He then says let’s bring him out. He then brings Dabba-Kato to the ring.
Owens says he knew he wouldn’t be far behind. Owens says he doesn’t care about tonight’s Raw Underground but he cares about 2 weeks ago. Owens says he remembered exactly what happened. He then tells Dabba-Kato they are going to do this at some point. Owens then slaps him. Shane then has to hold back Dabba-Kato. Owens then brings out his second guest Braun Strowman. Shane tells them this is not happening on the KO Show and it is only happening in Raw Underground. He finally gets them to calm down and go to the back. Aleister Black comes from out of nowhere and now attacks Kevin Owens.
My Opinion:
This was quite the KO Show, I did love how they kept the tension between Owens and Shane and I wouldn’t be shocked to see them fight one time at some point. I did like the fight promoting and maybe they need to do this more to help make the Underground feel special like this. Some like Dabba-Kato or Braun Strowman are perfect guys to be in there because a fight with them is always intriguing. I’m also excited to see what happens next with Aleister and Kevin. I still think Aleister should have won last week but at least he got some revenge this week. Given the right circumstances and time, these two could have a match to remember so I hope we see that soon.
Backstage Segment: Drew McIntyre
Charly asks Drew if he has any concerns about competing with the factored jaw. McIntyre says yeah sarcastically. She then asks about his friendship with Keith Lee. He says he knows whoever comes here wants the title. He says they will beat the hell out of each other out there. He tells Keith that afterward, drinks are on him.
Backstage Segment: Retribution
Retribution is now seen attacking people in the back. We see Titus O’Neil and Humberto Carrillo in the mix. Again, T-Bar says they are the judge, jury, and executioner.
Match 2: Drew McIntyre vs Keith Lee:
If Keith Lee wins he will face Drew McIntyre if Randy Orton is unable.
Lee starts the match off with a headlock and wears down McIntyre. McIntyre tries to shove him off but can’t. McIntyre finally reverses and puts on a headlock of his own. Lee tries to fight out of it but McIntyre keeps the hold locked in. McIntyre breaks the hold now. Lee stays on him and now sends him over the ropes and to the floor with a crossbody. Lee now meets him on the floor. Mcintyre gets the better of him. They now trade shots on the floor. McIntyre fights back and sends Lee over the desk as Raw goes to break.
As Raw returns, Lee gets back in control with a big forearm to the jaw. He covers but McIntyre kicks out. McIntyre is able to fight off Lee. McIntyre hits a spine buster but it’s not enough to out away Lee. McIntyre has Lee shaken up again and hits a neck breaker. He once again tries to put him away but Lee kicks out. Lee fights back now and drives McIntyre into the canvas. He covers but McIntyre kicks out. Lee now hits McIntyre with a big clothesline off the ropes. He once again tries to put McIntyre away but is unable. Lee now looks for the Spirit Bomb again but McIntyre is able to evade. He then this Keith Lee with a Claymore Kick. Orton now comes from behind and hits McIntyre with a steel chair. Orton then drives the steel chair into the jaw of McIntyre. Orton then hits Keith Lee with a Punt Kick.
Winner: No Contest
My Opinion:
A hard-hitting contest between these and I absolutely loved it. I really could feel how much Keith Lee wanted to win that match and how much Mcintyre didn’t want to lose. They told a great story and it is a match I would love to see again. Both of these guys are so powerful and I know they will continue to do better each time they face each other. I did like seeing Randy Orton back though. I’m very excited to see this Ambulance Match and I think it will be amazing!
In-Ring Segment: Randy Orton
Orton tells everyone shame on them for doubting him. He tells how he has spent 20 years in this company and he has never walked away from a world title match and won’t anytime soon. Orton then tells how the world title match at Clash Of Champions isn’t exactly a normal world title match. He then walks over the ambulance and opens the back doors. Orton says he took a ride in this ambulance a few short weeks ago. He tells how Mcintyre gave him three Claymores and put him in this. Orton tells about his ride, fading in and out of consciousness. Orton says the feeling made him think this is what it feels like to be taken out by the Legend Killer. He says this is what Edge, Christian. Ric Flair, Big Show, Shawn Michaels, and Drew McIntyre felt like. He said he loved it because he remembered what it took to become champion. Orton says what this ambulance represents for him is his 14th World Championship. He tells Drew he will take on more ride in this ambulance at Clash Of Champions and he will make sure his WWE Championship run flatlines all courtesy of the RKO.
My Opinion:
Some chilling words from Randy Orton tonight and I really can’t wait now for this match! I think it will be a hard-hitting one and one to remember. It seems like it will be a perfect way to end this rivalry for now and it really hits home what this whole thing has been about. It’s been quite the ride with these two and I’m excited to see what they do this Sunday!
Backstage Segment: Asuka
Asuka is asked if Mickie James or Zelina Vega is a bigger threat to her. Billie Kay then comes up and jokes that anyone can step up and get a match with Asuka. Peyton Royce comes up and says maybe she could be offered an opportunity. They are then asked if they are still friends. Billie says they still support each other. Peyton says how Asuka may not be champion after Clash Of Champions. Asuka tells Peyton that at Clash Of Champions no one is ready for Asuka and tonight neither are you.
Match 3: Mickie James vs Zelina Vega:
Winner challenges for the Raw Women’s Championship at Clash Of Champions
James starts off the match hot and takes it to Vega. she is able to beat down Veg and keep her on the mat, James lands a big kick. She gets Vega down and tries to put her away but she kicks out. Vega fights back and now is able to lock in the octopus submission. James is able to get to her feet and drive Vega into the corner to break the hold. Vega fights back now and hits James with a kick in the corner. James turns this around and works a cover but Vega kicks out. Vega is able to get James tied up in the ropes and choke her. James stops Vega’s momentum and drives her down to the mat. James now goes to the top and flies hitting the seated senton. She covers but Vega kicks out. Vega fights off James now. She lays her out and gets the 1 2 3 on the cover.
Winner: Zelina Vega: Will challenge for the Raw Women’s Championship at Clash Of Champions
My Opinion:
Zelina really looked good in this match as she was able to really stay crafty and get on the offensive a lot. Of course, it is a huge accomplishment for her to beat Mickie James and it makes you wonder if she could pull off the upset this Sunday. Asuka is going to be a tough challenger for her but I’m super excited to see Zelina get this opportunity. It’s her chance to shine and I hope she runs with it. She deserves this and I think someday she could be a Women’s Champion but we will see if that day is this Sunday!
Backstage Segment: The Hurt Business
The Hurt Business is now seen in the back laying out members of Retribution.
*** We then see a workout hype video for Bianca Belair!
24/7 Championship:
Akira Tozawa and a ref wait at the beach for R-Truth. Tozawa runs into the waves. Truth is seen walking with the 24/7 Championship and Little Jimmy. Truth makes his way to the water where he sees a shark. Truth grabs Little Jimmy but drops the title. 20 minutes later Truth tells Little Jimmy he needs to get his baby back. He then says a thermometer goes there, a snorkel goes in your mouth. He then tells if they found Nemo they can find his baby. He once again sees the shark and gets scared. Truth finally gets the title back. He also has a wet suit in his hand and says see what happens when you play with sharks, Tozawa got devoured.
Match 4: Cedric Alexander w/ MVP vs Apollo Crews w/ Ricochet
MVP tells Retribution that tonight they will be in a 6-Man Tag Team Match and they will definitely come to know why they are The Hurt Business. He says they can call themselves judges and jury but they are The Hurt Business and they are the executioners. Cedric then says when you send a message to The Hurt Business expect one back tenfold. He says that’s also what he is going to show Apollo. He then tells how stuck around when Apollo got a title shot he didn’t deserve. He then tells Apollo he doesn’t care about him or his kids. Apollo comes out and tells him that they don’t care why he did what he did they just care about punching him in the mouth. He then tells Bobby Lashley that this Sunday he will become a 2-Time United States Champion.
Crews starts off the match hot and takes it to Alexander. Alexander stumbles and is sent to the outside. MVP tries to get him away but Crews hits Alexander with a baseball slide through the ropes as Raw goes to break.
As Raw returns, Alexander tries to put away Crews but he kicks out. Alexander now works a chin lock. Crews fights back, Alexander takes him down with knees to the back. Alexander now goes to a waist lock and keeps Crews on the mat. Crews fights him off with a series of elbows. Alexander stays on him and hits the Michinoku Driver. He covers but Crews kicks out. Crews fights back now and hits a huge crossbody off the second rope. Crews lands a splash in the corner. Alexander goes to the floor. He then has words with Ricochet. He gets back in the ring and Crews pins him for the 1 2 3, stealing one and getting the victory.
After the match, Crews and Ricochet are caught off guard by the music of The Hurt Business. Alexander then attacks them. Lashley and Shelton now come out. Lashley finishes off Crews with the Hurt Lock.
Winner: Apollo Crews
My Opinion:
This was an okay match between these two. I definitely liked how they kept in the ring a lot and went to more mat wrestling. It was cool to see them step out of their element a little bit and not be all about high flying. I think this match showed exactly what Apollo is going to need to do on Sunday and that is get help from Ricochet. He certainly won’t be able to defeat Bobby Lashley or keep up with the numbers game if he doesn’t play dirty. It should be another good match between these two but Lashley looks locked in and ready to defend.
Raw Underground: Dolph Ziggler vs Arturo Ruas & Braun Strowman interview
Shane welcomes everyone to Raw Underground. We then see Dolph Ziggler vs Arturo Ruas. This is quite the fight between the two. They take each other to the mat and trade submissions. Dolph looks to have the upper hand but Arturo changes the pressure. Dolph now gets on his back and is able to slip in for the chokehold. Arturo now fades away and Dolph wins. Braun then is asked about his fight and says he is going to do exactly what he said he would. He says he is going to send them all home with a pocket full of teeth. He then tells Sahne he can get some too if he wants some.
In-Ring Segment: Seth Rollins
Rollins says it is no secret that he has had the Mysterio’s number for quite some time now. He says he thought after defeating Dominik in a Steel Cage he was done with the torment that he has been dealing with for the past three months. Rollins then tells how WWE.com posted a series of photographs of the Mysterio family this week and the world needs to know the truth. Rollins then shows a picture of the Mysterio family. He then points out how Rey and Dominik are so much different. Rollins says we deserve the truth and says he had people do some digging and he has the results to that investigation. He then invites the Mysterio family to come out here and find out the truth from him in person. He tells them they can trust him and to come out here. Here comes Dominik, Rey, Aalyah, and Angie.
Rey tells him it must be very important to have them all out here. He says they are tired of his mind games and they intend to give him beating just like they did to Murphy. Rollins tells him to take it easy and says he has grown to respect what they stand for. He says they stand together, cheer each other on and fight together. He says it is inspiring and that’s why they deserve the truth. He says in this is a DNA test and he knows this has been done before but times have changed and technology has advanced. Rey tells him enough of the bs. Rollins tells him he understands the skepticism but they deserve the truth. Rollins then tells Rey the results are conclusive and Rey Mysterio is not the father.
Rey questions being brought out here for this and says they have been here before and it didn’t work then and it won’t work now. Rollins then says maybe it’s Aalyah who isn’t your daughter. He says if the test isn’t enough then he has some concrete evidence to back it up. He then shows Aalyah consoling Murphy last week. He then says that’s not something a Mysterio would do. He then asks Rey and then Aalyah what was going on there. Rey says you speak to me not her. He says he already talked to her about it and he raised his daughter to have compassion. He tells Seth to leave his daughter’s name out of his filthy mouth. He tells him she is 19 and naive and knows nothing about this world.
The Mysterio’s now leave. Rollins says he is sorry and he came out here to inform, not to drive a wedge. Rollins says it happens sometimes even with families as strong as the Mysterio family. He then says to the crowd he is sure it has happened with their families and he again apologizes.
My Opinion:
So obviously we can see here that once again Seth Rollins is trying to play mind games with the Mysterio’s. Of course, this is just mind games but what conviction these two had. I mean I sat very intrigued in what they were saying and everything about this rivalry is just so real and raw. It’s one that again I don’t is ready to end. There is still something here that can be done before Dominik most likely gets his big victory over Seth. I’m very curious about what comes next but they have me hooked for sure.
Match 5: Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax vs Natalya & Lana
Jax stumbles in the early going and it leads to Lana and Natalya being able to work a double team. Jax fights out of it and Baszler gets the tag. Baszler takes down Natalya on the apron. He then lays out Lana. she quickly gets her in the Kirifuda Clutch. Lana taps out. After the match, Jax and Baszler go and push Liv and Ruby who are on commentary. Ruby is able to grab Liv and they back away. Jax then grabs Lana and lays her out again on the Announcer’s Table.
Winners:Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax
My Opinion:
A quick victory for the Women’s Tag Team Champions. For some reason I see this being the same result on Sunday. I really like the Riott Squad but they haven’t shown any reason to believe that they can beat Nia and Shayna. I think the one chance they have is if Nia and Shayna have some miscommunication. I really hope this match delivers on Sunday because I would love to see these titles continue to be featured every week and really begin to mean something.
Backstage Segment: Drew McIntyre
Charly asks Drew how he is feeling. Drew says not good. He says at Clash Of Champions with no rules he will beat the piss out of Randy Orton. He then says as for tonight he is going to go and look for a fight.
Backstage Segment: The Mysterio Family (Dominik, Rey, Angie, Aalyah)
Rey tells Aalyah he is trying to protect the family. Aalyah says she can speak for herself. She says she came to support Dom. she then adds that since being here they have both gotten hurt and now her and her mom could get hurt as well. She then reminds Rey that he called her a naive 19-year-old girl and walks away. Rey goes to go after her but Angie tells him to let her have space.
Raw Underground: Erik vs Riddick Moss & Dabba-Katon Interview
Erik now takes on Riddick Moss. Moss starts off hot but here comes Erik. Erik hits a huge suplex. Moss fights back and hits Erik with a huge strike laying him out. This was quick but it was a huge comeback for Riddick Moss. Dabba-Kato is then interviewed and says talk is cheap but he will feel what he is made over.
Match 6: Asuka vs Peyton Royce w/ Billie Kay
The two lock up and Royce backs her into the corner. Asuka fights back and goes for the cover but Royce kicks out. Asuka again takes her down but still can’t put her away. Asuka stays on her and works another cover but again Royce kicks out. Royce now fights back and is able to hit a backpack stunner. She covers but Asuka kicks out. Asuka looks for the Asuka Lock now but Royce turns it into a cover.
She gets a near fall. She tries another cover but again can’t get the 3. Royce goes up top but Asuka hits her in the face. She then goes up top and meets her there and continues the attack. The two are now on the mat and Asuka looks for the Asuka Lock. Here comes Zelina Vega now who attacks Asuka. Asuka is able to get up as Vega tells her that this is her time. Asuka looks for the back fist but Vega is able to slip out of the ring.
Winner: No Contest
My Opinion:
I was impressed that Peyton was able to hang with Asuka for so long. I think Peyton is showing she is very capable of being a single’s competitor and I wouldn’t be shocked to see her win a single’s title in the future. I even liked how she pulled out the backpack stunner as we don’t see that a lot. Asuka again showed how she is a fighter until the end and until Zelina got involved she was ready to put this one away. I loved the attack from Vega though, she showed some real desire to win this title and send a message. This is such a big opportunity for her on Sunday and they are giving her a good spot now to go out and shine and show exactly why she is a star.
Murphy & Aalyah
Murphy apologizes to Aalyah for everything and says the Seth thing has gotten out of hand. He tells her if he has done anything to hurt her he is sorry. He then walks away.
Raw Underground: Dabba-Kato vs Braun Strowman
The two start out trying to throw jabs at each other. Dabba-Kato strikes first. The two go to a lock-up now. Strowman gets the advantage and gets on the back of Dabba. Dabba spins out of the hold and now they go to the floor. They continue to trade haymakers. In the ring now Strowman hits him with a straight right hand. He then connects with a knee. Dabba goes down and the match is called. Strowman stands tall.
My Opinion:
Definitely some hard-hitting fights tonight with a lot of unique offense shown. I still wish these fights were longer but I understand what Shane said on After The Bell about wanting these fights to be quick and have the competitors go 100 percent from the start. Even so, though I think they could at least go a couple of minutes and give some length to it. Using the Erik vs Riddick Moss fight it was kind of blink and you would have missed it. I’m still all for this and I hope we see another big fight next week like we did tonight. It’s certainly different and I will say it does make this last hour feel different.
Match 7: The Hurt Business (Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin & Cedric Alexander w/MVP) vs Retribution (Slapjack & T-Bar & Mace)
Lashley starts off the match and is dominant from the go against Slapjack. He gets Mace in the ring now and he beats on him in the corner. Mace comes off the ropes and takes down Lashley. T-Bar now comes in and they send Lashley into the ropes. Lashley fights back and sends T-Bar into the corner. Alexander now tags in but he is hit in the gut and taken down. T-Bar stomps on Cedric and is in control. Slapjack lands a big kick and now stomps on Cedric. He now backs Cedric into the corner and tags in T-Bar.
T-Bar throws around Cedric and gets him in the corner. He then tosses him across the ring. He covers but Alexander kicks out. T-Bar is taken to a knee with a neuralizer. Benjamin comes in now and is in control. He is worn down quickly and hit with a big boot. Mace and T-Bar now hit a double team on Benjamin. Mace is spun around and hit with a suplex from Benjamin. Mace fights back and beats on the back of Benjamin wearing him down. Slapjack now tags in and kicks Benjamin. Slapjack now takes a cheap shot on Alexander but this allows Benjamin to fight back and tag Lashley. Lashley now takes it to Slapjack and lays him out. Lashley now works in the Hurt Lock. T-Bar now hits Lashley and the bell is called for.
More members of Retribution now flood the ring and beat down The Hurt Business. Drew McIntyre now comes down to the ring members of the Raw roster. There is complete chaos as the fight slips all over the ringside area. Out of nowhere, Randy Orton hits with an RKO. He now stands tall as Raw goes off the air.
Winners: The Hurt Business (Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin & Cedric Alexander): Via DQ
My Opinion:
This was a good debut for Retribution as we got to see some of what they can do in the ring but I would love to see more. Some of these members we definitely know who they are and others we can guess but for now, we will go along with the names that they are given. I’m excited to see what they do next but as I said I don’t want to see them beaten down by members of the Raw or SmackDown Lock Room. I want to see them win and rise above and become a powerhouse if it makes sense. I did like the attack though from Randy Orton to end the night. It showed Randy is worried about himself and what he has going on and it was awesome. Randy is ready to go and we will see Sunday if the WWE Champion Drew McIntyre is too!
Final Thoughts:
A decent night of Raw as we head into Clash Of Champions this Sunday. First, I like what we saw from Retribution tonight. I still don’t like everything they are saying on the mic as it sounds hoaky with some of it but I think they have a lot of potential if done right and it was great to see them in the ring. I would rather them have their own names and not these nicknames but it is still new into this and I’m sure we will see more unfold with them next week. Next, I’m excited that we get Randy Orton taking on Drew McIntyre in an Ambulance Match on Sunday. Randy was smart tonight with all of his attacks and right now he looks to have the upper hand.
This should be one heck of a match! Then, I was excited to see Zelina Vega get the opportunity to face Asuka for the Raw Women’s Championship. Zelina is a dark horse but she deserves the opportunity and I’m glad she has this chance to prove herself! I again loved what we saw from The Hurt Business. As a group, they continue to be dominant and be one of the most entertaining parts of Raw. I can’t wait to see them on Sunday and I’m sure they will be there for Lashley’s title defense! As far as Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio I loved the continued build for this rivalry. This should be interesting what happens next especially with Rey’s daughter getting involved. Finally, Raw Underground was good again this week, the fights were hard-hitting as always and I hope we see another big fight next week! As always I hope everyone stays safe and healthy this week and enjoys NXT, SmackDown, and Clash Of Champions “Gold Rush”!!!
Overall Rating: 5/10
