Follow along with our live Raw review.
Previously on WWE Raw, Enzo Amore had his championship celebration interrupted by the entire 205 Live roster. Braun Strowman demolished Curt Hawkins, then beat Dean Ambrose in an impromptu match. Mickie James stood up to Alexa Bliss, after the champ ran down the entire Women’s Division. And Roman Reigns defeated The Miz in a non title match, but got laid out by a Shield-impersonating Miztourage aided by steel chairs.
This week, a pair of matches have been announced. First, Roman Reigns will get another shot at The Miz. The difference this week? The Intercontinental Championship will be on the line. The Big Dog won fairly easily last week, so he’s got to be confident. But with Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel lurking at ringside, the numbers game could prove to be too much. If only Reigns had a pair of superstars to serve as backup…
The other match taking place is Seth Rollins vs. Braun Strowman. The Kingslayer was a bit stunned last week when his tag partner Dean Ambrose answered Strowman’s challenge. He pointed out that Dean’s self-destructive behavior could be a problem. Ambrose replied that Rollins was too predictable, leading Seth to demand his own match against The Monster Among Men. Can Rollins bring the behemoth down?
In the Women’s Division, Alexa Bliss has a big problem. That problem is in the form of Mickie James. The six-time Women’s Champion responded to being called an “old lady” the only way she knew how – kicking Alexa in the face and making her retreat. The current champ may have helped facilitate Mickie’s WWE return earlier this year, but clearly that friendship has seen better days. How will Bliss get retribution tonight?
And Enzo Amore seems to have quite a few enemies right now. That doesn’t even factor in his recent Twitter spat with Corey Graves. Enzo and Neville spent Raw and 205 Live last week trading beatdowns of each other.
Will the King strike back tonight?
