WWE Raw Results: Highlights, Analysis and Grades for July 31

Samoa Joe vs. Braun Strowman vs. Roman Reigns

Result: Roman Reigns wins via pinfall

Rating: 3 out 5 stars

Samoa Joe comes out first looking like a bad, bad man, Strowman follows that up with his entrance that will probably give you nightmares if you look at it long enough and then Reigns is saved for last and it feels like his entrance lasts forever and day. For anyone wondering, yes, Reigns still gets booed during his entrance, he got booed when he made any sort of offense during the match. Example: Reigns connects with Big Boot to Joe’s head, gets. Reigns cock’s his fist signaling the Super Man punch and gets booed for his efforts and of course, he got booed pretty hard when he won the match, because yeah. Samoa Joe. Well, Joe was just kind of there. Which sucks.

If you wondering why this match gets 3 out 5 in stead of 5 out 5, you’re not alone. I’m wondering the same thing. I guess for some odd reason, something was missing, but personally, I’m not sure what. Samoa Joe at one point, leading up to the Great Balls of Fire PPV to be exact, seemed like a legit threat to Lesnar’s title. How much of a threat he is now is debatable. Which, is pretty sad, considering the potential their feud had.
