Keep Refreshing For The Latest WWE Raw Results
Oh hai, Marks!
We start the show with the lovely Ms Bliss in the center of the ring with the briefcases hanging above her. She introduces the four men from RAW who will be in the match, and starts with Braun Strowman.
According to Renee, Braun's muscles have muscles. Out next is Ricochet, who is still waiting for Mr. Kennedy's mic to drop down.
Drew McIntyre is out next, followed by Corbin, who takes some offense to his mouth.
Ricochet, of all peeps, speak up and point out Corbin lost the time he cashed in. Corbin wonders if someone said something, because apparently Ricochet is a little man, thus not having a say.
Drew says Ricochet has a point, look what he did last week after he stole a victory – he blew it. Drew is tired of the excuses and will win the title. The power will be in his hands, and he guarantees –
Ricochet says they can blame each other, he did not come here.
Drew tells him to shut up, then. He tells Ricochet to stick to the high flying and aerial maneuvers and leave the business talk to the grown ups. If he does not, Drew will drop him where he stn, and while Corbin does that, he will climb the ladder – and drew cuts him off, again. They get in each other's faces. Braun finally speaks, saying to shut up, the reality of it is that it does not matter. Mr. Monster in the Bank. So how about a little preview; Corbin and Drew vs. Ricochet and Braun.

Ricochet flexing next to Braun at the top of the ramp is hilarious.
The Usos are here. They have decided to … on the way down to the ramp.
They get in the ring. Music hits. They sing, "Down since … day one ish …"

We come back to the Usos still claiming Down Since.

The Usos are on the mic, and want to give a shout out to the Good Usos. They want to put the kids to sleep and make sure our granny's eyes are closed. We see some footage of The Usos rollin by the bathroom, and they stumble upon The Revival. Dash is shaving the back of Dawson. The Usos make fun of the scene, then tell the live crowd that they've got "Got Em!"
Out come The Revival. Dash says this is an invasion of privacy. Dawson says they are men. Being a man, like himself, he has a bit of body hair. A sprig or two on his back and considering the size of his arms and girth of his lats, reaching his back is not always the easiest. It's a scientific impossibility, so he asks for his best friend to help him out, and I can not believe I'm typing this out …
The Miz is here to hype up Miz TV. He's still a Lister, but this is a whole new era for him. He's ready for new challengers and even newer guests. He introduces Bobby Lashley.
Lashley comes down to the ring to speak in the third person like an idiot. Miz mentions this, then considers Lashley as the perfect guest. He is one of the most athletically gifted superstars to ever come into the ring. He is talented, yet there are some people who think that Lashley has made it all together, and is not meant to be an insult, but some people speculate that Lashley may not be reaching his full potential.
Lashley, still in third person, gets the What song. He says Lashley has been here for 1 year, and he is already at IC field. What has Miz done?
Miz removes his glbades, taken aback and utterly shocked at the question. The Old Miz would have said that he is an 8 time IC field, 7 time tag team field, 2 time US field, WWE field, etc. We're here for a very long time, but The New Miz … .One is questioning Miz's potential. If anything, he's an overachiever – have you seen his wife? But Miz did not have a shred of Lashley's athletic ability.
Lashley wants to talk about what Miz DID NOT do at Mania. Shane put a whoopin on Miz and his old man. Lashley wants to talk about Shane's punching his baked-potato looking father. Miz had an opportunity for payback, and Lashley screwed it up. No wonder his father thinks he's worthless ….
When was that ever a thing?
Lashley Miz attacks, kicking him in the face and throwing a chair Lashley stands on the outside. Miz removes the jacket, and it looks like we're going to have a match.
Match 3: The Miz vs. Bobby Lashley
We come back and Lashley hits a suplex on The Miz. Miz looks to hit a clothesline in the corner until Shane's music hits. It distracts The Miz, but only for a second. Miz hits the ropes, swings through, Lashley hits, then stares down Shane. He tosses Lashley back in the ring, Shane rushes down the ramp, Lashley tries to attack, Miz goal hangs him up, Lashley rolls up for 1..2..N! O !! Kick. DDT Pin for 1..2..NO !!! IT Kicks from The Miz. Shane hops on the apron and Miz's dad is on the tron.
SPEAR FROM LASHLEY! Pin for 1 … 2 … 3 !!!!
Winner: Bobby Lashley

Shane heads in the ring to hold up Lshley's hand. Lashley leaves. Shane then smacks Miz. Kick. Right hand. Da hell is this happening? Lol. Miz shoots the legs, goes to attack, but Lashley is back and hits a chokeslam like move. Shane removes his jacket and beats down Miz. He sits on his chest and goes to town on The Miz. He locks Miz in a choke hold with his legs and talks some shit.
Shane has a mic. He says it's too bad Miz is unconscious, but to just remember this: He is the best in the world.
The Minnesota Viking Raiders of Oakland cut a mini promo in a square before the next match. As they make their way down the ramp, they are attacked by a trio of Mexicans.
Match 4: The Minnesota Viking Raiders of Oakland vs. Lucha House Party
Calisto attacks fast, then tags in Metalik, who hits the ropes, springboards, homeboy hits a freakin cartwheel and knocks Metalik on his bad. Tag to Erik who comes in with some knees. Uppercuts from metalik, goal Erik backs into the corner, gets a tag, and we go for a double team goal Metalik escapes and tags in Kalisto, who catches him in the middle of the air and hits a fall away slam.

The behemoths grab Lips and pull him into the ring. Erik holds him up while Ibar hits a springboard flying clothesline. Nice.
We return to Alexa Bliss at the top of the ramp. She wants to introduce the women in MitB match. The first woman … .is Natalya. She comes out in her cat ears, and says that when she wins the match, everything will change. Alexa brushes it off and announces … Dana Brooke as the next competitor.
There is no chair for Dana. That's kinda rough. She's excited, she can not believe it's happening. This is her chance to hp in the front. She's sick of being told to wait her turn. Natalya wonders if she thinks that nattie is holding her back. Dana says no offense, and Nattie proves that she is so smart by saying "no offense" before you start a sentence, means total offense.
Alexa tells the girls to take their catty arguments off her show. She then announces Naomi as the next competitor. Naomi is out. She says her only focus and is here to become a RAW Women's Champ, PeriodT!
Nattie and Dana have been waiting for this opportunity as well. Nattie will be the field. Enough, says Nattie. Alexa calls them worse than the men. These three are the fortunate ones, and there is one other girl back there hoping and praying that she hears her name. So stop fighting, not for Alexa's show, but for the dignity of the division. Alexa then says that the last and final competitor is …
ALEXA BLISS! ?
Speaking of opportunity, they can not wait for you. Naomi says if she's in the MitB match, let's get a little preview. Naomi vs Alexa tonight. Alexa says she would, but she does not want to. She's not even in the right shoes. Naomi says she can beat Alexa with her shoes on or off. Naomi giggles annoyingly, which is enough to convince Alexa. Nattie and Dana … .just kind of stand there awkwardly.
Its time for more Firefly Fun House!
BWyatt is painting! He loves to paint. He says it's a way of expressing himself, and when we do that, no one can hurt tou. In comes a rambling rabbit named Rambling Rabbit. He wonders what Bray is painting. Bray shows him, and we see a painting of the Wyatt barn being burned.
The Witch is awake, causing the rabbit to scurry. She told him to be in the fun house. Bray was a very bad boy. Bray says that's all in the past, and to take it easy. He's really sorry for what he did. All of us forgive him, right?
-Canned applause and acceptance-
The Witch says to keep it down while she tries to rest. Wyatt sneakily walks away, says Abby's a bit of a … sociopath. The rabbit is back, and says that should be the word of the day.
Sociopath. Bray spells it out for us. Bray reminds us fireflies, he will light the way, and all we have to do is let him in.
See ya …
I missed the first minute or so this is the cause of my child's pregnancy.

Match 5: Alexa Bliss vs. Naomi
Alexa with a two count of a pin and she shows frustration at her totally non-wrestling shoes coming unlaced. She chokes Naomi on the ropes then gets rolled up by Naomi for 1..2..NO !!! Alexa with a kick to the stomach. Alexa with a rest from behind. Alexa sends Naomi into the corner of the bulldog attempt, then pulls her head down, slamming it into the mat. Alexa with a kick, then she sends Naomi back down. Alexa sends Naomi 's face to the next day for 1..2..NO !!! Naomi with a right. Another. She hits a few over and over. Alexa sends her to the outside. She goes to her shoes, gets the knots in, then kicks Naomi off the apron. She finishes her job, then gets hit by Naomi's shoulder. Sunset flip and a pin for 1..2.NO !!! Jawbreaker from Naomi. She grabs the legs, but Alexa slips out of her shoes! She sends Naomi into the corner. Alexa goes to grab her shoe, yells at the ref.

Backstage, Rey's his is motivating him. In comes Charley, who should not be in the men's locker room. Rey says that his first night on Raw, he was man-handled by Lars. It's not easy being Rey, living in a world of giants. He's gotta get back up after getting knocked down. Mania was embarrbading. He felt like he left everyone down, most importantly his son, Dominic, cuz that's his name, in case you did not know. He then says he is a better man, and he will prove it against Joe. He claps hands with his son for the third time.
Real photo of all of us looking up to Alexa Bliss
Becky Two Belts is in the ring with Charley, and Chuck calls her impulsive, bringing up the fact that Becky will be defending two belts come MitB. The crowd singing, calling her Becky Two Belts. She was not impulsive, and there is nothing impulsive about what she is doing. She has two options; protect it, or fight for it. And she only knows how to fight. Charley says this is reducing the odds, but Becky cuts her off and says she does not care about odds. A year ago, no one thought she could, but she did not. A month ago, Ronda Rousey was unbeaten. Many thought she was unbeatable until she beat her. Becky say nothing she has done is an accident. Charlotte was holding the division hostage, and she will not do that, even if it puts her at a huge disadvantage. Talk about impulses and odds, but just remember this: She did not make history by dodging anybody, she made it by beating everybody. So she says bring on her opponents. Charlotte still has pedigree, but The Man still has her number. Lacey Evans, that's plank, she's so great, but she's hitting someone who likes it. Becky will tell where she is coming from, and it's at the Money in the PPV Bank.
Charley respects his confidence, but speaking of the Right Hand, was last week a preview of what can we expect at Money in the Bank?
We get a recap of the shitty punch followed by the not-so-shitty thereafter.
Becky says that was a preview, that was a reminder. She takes the mic, and says that if she is not too busy currying favors, how do you know? Come out and let Becky remind her of what she's dealing with.
He does not want to, he says Lacey. She calls out the Irish temper and says she is trying to get her hands dirty, but Lacey warned Becky, Becky did not listen, so she is done
Lacey rushes down the ramp and meets Becky at the bottom. They tussle about until some refs come. Becky attacks, breaking the ref's hold. Lacey escapes as well, kicking away until more agents come out. Becky with another flight of punches, escaping the clutches of Finlay. The girls are split apart yet again, talking shit back and forth. They are able to escape yet again, and attack the hair of one another. Apparently Becky hit a right, according to Cole. Becky hops up on the apron, talking shit from an elevated position, and I love that. Lacey calls for Becky to "come on," as she walks to the back, which I like less.
Hawkins and Ryder Have New Music That's Like a Bonus Round of Streets of Rage.
Match 6: Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins vs. The Revival
Hawkins and Dash to start. Hawkins with a side headlock takedown. Legacy scissors and Hawkins kips out as Cole wonders Hawkins with a cover for 1. Tag to Ryder. Whip to Dash. Hawkins sends the face to the apron and Ryder dives the dog with a kick. Ryder tosses Dash into the ring. Ryder for 1..2..NO !!! Leg drop and an elbow drop. Headbutt. Back suplex to Ryder followed by SHAVE YOUR BACK chant … ugh.

Whip from Dash as Dawson drops an elbow on the head. Cover. Pin for 1 … 2..NO! Dawson works the arm behind Ryder, locking it up and scraping his face.

Right hand from Dash. He works the arm of Ryder behind his head again. Neckbreaker by Ryder. Hawkins to the outside. Ryder hits the head of Dawson's head, and Dawson falls into a pine for 1..2..NO !!!
Ryder turns the momentum with a crucifix pin and gets the 1 … 2 … .3 !!!

Who's the blonde?
The Miz says shane made this personal. At the Money in the Bank, how do they stay in the ring? Miz wants a steel cage match.
The interviewer smiles as Miz walks away. Steel must turn her on.
Sami is out to say that he did a lot of soul searching over his vacation. He had time to rekindle his love for history, psychology, sociology, human condition, and especially with psychology. In fact, there's one concept that stuck with him. He wants it on the board:
SOCIOPATH
Oh wait, sorry, that's not it.
It's Psychological Entitlement. A general belief that one deserves more, or is entitled to more, than others. It's almost our fault because we've been fed to the customer is always right, but that's a lie. We've come to think that we are all right, and we do not want to go where we want it.
Recently, a little boy asked him to sign an action figure, and naturally, Sami said no, and the boy cried and ran away. It did not make him feel good; it was so sick because of this kid, at age 5, has been taught that he is owed something. He already thinks that Sami owes him something. Guess what, he does not owe anyone anything. From here we are going to give us Sami has people attacking him right and left, saying he does not like the WWE, he should just quit. Do we want to quit? The crowd says yes. Trust him, quitting the WWE would be amazing. It would be amazing. But what would be a little bit more than this, all of us are accountable for our actions, calling us out on our crap, and being the criticism of the critics. We've been drunk with power, but it's time Sami takes the power back.
Mic Drop
Samoa Joe is in the ring. He brings up Rey's sound. He says when he looks at Dominic, he sees his ashamed of how quickly Joe put Rey asleep at Mania. In fact, if Rey was a decent father, he would have gotten a mask just like Rey's so he can hide that shame in public. Tonight, masks will not save Rey from Joe. HE should be signing the contract tonight against Seth. It is because of that, it will not be, and it will destroy it in such a way that it will pale in comparison to its beat down mania.
Match 7: Samoa Joe vs. Rey Mysterio
Joe is quick with a kick then a bunch of punches to the face of Rey. Rey fights back, hitting some elbows to the face. Knee from Joe. Joe sends Rey to the outside. Joe flies to the outside but Joe gets in the ring first and sends Joe right back then flies off the top rope onto Joe. Rey in the ring, slides under the bottom rope, and looks for the senton, but Joe gets ak up and Rey suffers.
Back from a break, Joe is cinching the head of Mysterio. Mysterio escapes. Rey kicks. Rey with a DDT off the ropes! Cover for 1 … 2..NO !!! Rey gets shoved to the corner.

Now, to the contract signing.
AJ Styles is out first. Seth is next, and Cole is here to ask the dumb questions. He wonders what winning the title would mean to AJ.
AJ says that's the reason why he came to RAW. AJ is all smiles. Smackdown was good for him for two amazing years. He built that house. He's proud of what he did there. But this is RAW. This is where it's at; where the craziest fans are. Sure buddy.
AJ tells Seth that he's always like him. Known him many years. Good guy, Seth is, but he has something AJ wants. He wants the Universal Championship. They both know that when you want something bad enough; you'll do some unexpecting things to get it. Winners find a way. Seth is a winner. He is the universal champion. He's known Seth for many years, and how many times did he say that Seth Rollins will be AJ Styles?
So many times, says AJ. Seth is stronger, faster, younger, Truth is; Seth will never be The Phenomenal AJ Styles. Seth says, he's right, there's only one, and he's complimenting it, he's going to be AJ Styles, or anyone else for that matter. He's always wanted to be the first Seth Freakin Rollins. He appreciates it all, but look around; things are different. Ropes are red, Cole is not Phillips. This is not AJ's house, it's Seth's house. It will be better if Phenomenal if AJ wants to take the title from Seth at MitB.
AJ Knows how much the title means to Seth. He knows what Seth went through; Seth ran himself ragged. Was not Seth obsessed iwth showing that he was a workhorse? How is Seth holding up?
BURN IT DOWN singing tries to get off
AJ says they'll burn it down and he will build it back up. He wants to know how Seth is feeling because of his little team; his little brotherhood … they're not going to keep him going. AJ Does not think Seth has much left; but AJ is ready to go … NOW. See the shirt? Never Rest. Never Rust. Buy now. Online. AJ will be that nippin bulldog at the heels of Seth, and at Money in the Bank, he's going to latch on, sink his teeth in, and he will not let go until he's standing over Seth as the new Universal Champion.
AJ Signs.
Seth says their success stories may be similar, but there's one thing that seperates them. One thing Seth has done but AJ never did. He beat Brock Lesnar, and that's why he's holding this, while AJ is trying to take it away. How is he holding up? Ask Brock, because he was at his best when he beat Brock at Mania, and he will be at his best at Money in the Bank.
Seth signs.
AJ grabs the title and looks at it Cole leaves the ring.
AJ hands the title over to Seth. Rollins holds it high in the face of AJ. AJ SHAVE HIS BACK ….
AJ Seth and beats him down. He grabs Seth, Seth goal is there to hit him then kick him out of the ring. Seth with a suicide dive onto AJ. Seth hops back in the ring and some shit about starting fights. AJ on the apron. He hits an elbow. Phenomenal Forearm onto Seth through the table!
