Banks faces Bliss in anticipated return bout
One night after Sasha Banks made Alexa Bliss tap out to the Bank Statement to become a four-time Raw Women’s Champion at SummerSlam, “The Goddess” threw down the gauntlet for a title rematch this Monday night in Memphis.
Can The Boss follow up her championship triumph at The Biggest Event of the Summer by making Bliss submit for the second time in as many weeks?
Can John Cena and Roman Reigns coexist on the same brand?
John Cena returned to Raw intending to battle Roman Reigns, but instead of going one on one with The Big Dog, the larger-than-life Superstars joined forces to defeat Intercontinental Champion The Miz & Samoa Joe in the night’s tag team main event. Even though he was The Big Dog’s partner, The Cenation Leader still felt the full impact of the Superman Punch when Reigns’ signature move missed its intended target, Samoa Joe, and instead caught the jaw of the 16-time World Champion. Will the ramifications of that seemingly inadvertent strike be felt Monday night on Raw?
Enzo Amore joins the Cruiserweights
After Big Cass injured his knee during this past Monday’s Brooklyn Street Fight against Enzo Amore, The Certified G has seemingly moved on from his former best friend and has set his sights on the Cruiserweight division, officially joining their ranks on WWE Network’s 205 Live.
Smacktalker Skywalker immediately made an enemy in WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville, who will no doubt issue some sort of response after Amore invaded “his” show. Will The King of the Cruiserweights fire back?
Is Braun Strowman our next Universal Champion?
After brutalizing Lesnar during SummerSlam’s carnage-filled Fatal 4-Way Match for the Universal Title, The Monster Among Men emerged the following night on Raw to crush The Conqueror with two ring-shaking Running Powerslams before holding Brock’s Universal Title above his head. Now that The Gift of Destruction has his title opportunity, what’s next for the volatile Strowman?
Rollins & Ambrose hold their own as Raw Tag Team Champions
In an anticipated dream match this past Monday night, Raw Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose defeated one of the most influential tag teams in sports-entertainment history, The Hardy Boyz.
As the WWE Universe celebrated this unexpected matchup, Cesaro & Sheamus stewed, watching the bout on a monitor. The newly former champions still have a rematch clause after losing their titles at SummerSlam, and they would like nothing more than to deprive the WWE Universe of seeing similar dream matches in the future. When will The Celtic Warrior and The Swiss Cyborg get their rematch?

Despite constant reports of Enzo having heat and management not liking him, I find it funny how he's still on Raw even so far as being part of the Raw preview. If they don't like him, why not just drop him? It's not like they've had a problem dropping stories before. And Smacktalker Skywalker? That's pretty awesome.

Strowmans new nickname is The Gift of Destruction? What a stupid nickname that is. Not a fan of that at all.

Have they mentioned this names before and I've just missed them? I mean it's likely, as I completely blank out most of the commentary when ever I watch wrestling these days.

Are we expecting a good Raw this week?

Hopefully. It was pretty good last week, so hopefully they can keep it going two weeks in a row.

Raw was all about that Cena and Reigns promo for me. Reigns forgetting his lines was funny... you could see him really trying hard to think what he was meant to say. Cena then ripping the shit out of him for it was amazing. That's the kind of promo that makes you look forward to a match.

Banks really can't defend that womens title. Was nice that not only was it the main event, but it was also the best match of the night, despite being just over 10 minutes long. Didn't need to be longer tho.

It was a nice worked shoot with a shoot hilarious blunder in the middle. Overall though it was clearly the highlight in an otherwise dull RAW. I did not care one iota about the result of the Women's Title match.

Main Event

Yeah that promo was good. Funny as fuck watching Cena just rip into Reigns pretty much non-stop. Seen people saying that Cena buried him, but all he did really is say what fans have been saying and taking the piss at forgetting his lines. If Cena hadn't stepped in there, it would have gotten really awkward. You could feel it starting anyway, so Cena had to say something. Most would have been scripted, but Reigns isn't that good an actor to have pulled off that forgotten line part like that which makes Cena's comments even better.

Anytime that Banks is champion I lose interest. What is the point in putting the belt on her and having her lose it every time she defends it? And to have Bliss mention that before and then win just makes Banks look like a joke. I prefer Bliss as champion though, but it makes it feel like any time Banks wins, it's a pointless win as she'll be dropping it soon enough anyway.
