The trip to SummerSlam has officially begun. One night after Extreme Rules' pay-per-view took us to the annual summer event in Toronto on August 11th, Raw was coming from Long Island, New York, and it was time to start filling out the map. SummerSlam I'm going to enjoy it in a little less than a month now.
During the three hours of activities that took place on Monday night (the third hour being the most complete), we learned who would be the challengers who will face the best holders of the men's and women's title at Raw at SummerSlam. We also found that quarrels continued and began to develop, while the most interesting aspect of Raw on Monday night was a superstar back we had been waiting for weeks to have a manic impact.
Let's look at everything that happened during the Monday night edition of Raw.

WrestleMania vs SummerSlam
The three world champions Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman kicked off Raw. Heyman was jubilant as he followed up on Lesnar's promise to cash out his Money in the Bank deal at Extreme Rules before turning to the 10-man royal battle game with several brands to determine Lesnar's challenger at SummerSlam. Heyman mentioned the fact that he is currently the executive director responsible for Raw and admitted that he had set up the Royal Battle because the WWE was not prepared to prepare a challenger for Lesnar . The Universal Champion's lawyer went through the list of titantron participants by reacting to the crowd before letting them know that, whatever it is, these are just "Brock bitches".
Seth Rollins won the royal title of the Battle of the Red Cross of the 10 stars by finally eliminating Randy Orton to get his ticket for SummerSlam and a rematch against Lesnar. The universal champion sat at the top of the railing on a steel chair with Heyman by his side. Heyman then congratulated Rollins for getting the right to be brutalized, victimized and conquered by his client at SummerSlam. Rollins responded by declaring again that he was a man possessed before telling Lesnar that SummerSlam would be identical to the result of WrestleMania while he was banging his head against the rug. Order of elimination: Bobby Lashley eliminated Cesaro; Braun Strowman eliminated Bobby Lashley; Sami Zayn eliminated Big E; Randy Orton eliminated Sami Zayn; Baron Corbin eliminated Rey Mysterio; Seth Rollins eliminated Baron Corbin; Seth Rollins eliminated Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns; Seth Rollins eliminated Randy Orton
I can thank WWE for allowing Rollins to cope with Lesnar after the closing events of Extreme Rules by exposing nine other superstars instead of simply ignoring the automatic no-return rule that was put in place a few days ago. month. That's all the credit I'll give, though. This match seemed disappointing from the moment it was announced Monday afternoon, simply because it was painfully obvious that only three of the 10 men involved had the honest right to seize the title opportunity on a map the size of SummerSlam. Then the match itself took place, and he went straight ahead, confirming this disappointing status with his dramatic absence. Rollins was the most logical challenger for Lesnar after losing his title by banking his account after a grueling match at the Extreme Rules on Sunday, but cementing him as an opponent was less than pleasant. Grade: D +
Bray Wyatt Escape From The Funhouse
Samoa Joe def. Finn Balor falling: Balor's small slip continued as Joe sealed the victory with a stack of crucifixes. Joe jumped to inflict more damage to Balor after the bell, but the former intercontinental champion eventually won and sent him packing with a knockout. As Balor celebrated in the ring, it was then that we were treated to a long awaited surprise.
The lights began to fade slowly into the arena before the place was completely black while Balor remained confused. When the lights came back, Bray Wyatt, in the complete character of "The Fiend", held Balor in the position of Sister Abigail. Wyatt hit his leader on Balor and posed briefly as the lights went out again and the crowd was excited about the surprise return.
After weeks and weeks of anticipation among the incredible "Firefly Funhouse" vignettes, Wyatt 's return to an arena setting was as thrilling and enjoyable to watch as we had all hoped for. From lights to maniacal laughter in the background to the speakers to the "The Fiend" mask, this version of Wyatt has a lot of potential if the WWE can finally get out of its way when it comes to booking. And if Balor seems to be the first target of Wyatt's return, this puzzle is easy to piece together. In addition to their past quarrel that had at one point been to see "The Demon" arguing with Wyatt owned by sister Abigail, Pro Wrestling Sheet reported Monday night just before Raw that Balor had asked the company to take a few months leave "reload." Looks like we are heading to "The Fiend" by sending Balor on vacation to SummerSlam. Grade: A
