WWE Raw: Results, Review, and Analysis for October 22nd, 2018

It’s the last WWE Monday Night Raw before this Sunday’s Evolution PPV (hey, remember that?). What will happen during the last confrontation between Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey and her opponent for Sunday, Nikki Bella?

Last week on Raw, things came to a head between Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey and her former allies The Bella Twins yet again. Since The Bellas turned on Rousey after Super Show-Down, Ronda and The Bellas have been at each other’s throats constantly, everywhere you look.

Tonight, the two women sign their contract for Evolution, and if you’re anything like me, the first thought you had reading that was “yikes”.

Aside from the very obvious and very glaring issues with this feud (why are we slut-shaming? What even is a DNB? Does a DNB even exist in WWE? Why would WWE want to attach that moniker to some of it’s most lucrative performers?), WWE is really setting it up to be brutal.

Last week, Ronda mowed over a line of security guards to get to The Bellas, so you can assure that tonight on the go-home show before Evolution, if WWE’s wants to up the ante, something even crazier, or more anti-feminist is in store for us.

Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Natalya vs. The Riott Squad at Evolution was just booked today. Riott Squad you know will most definitely be ready to fight, and to be honest I’m really hoping they pull out the win at Evolution.

Tonight, Sasha Banks and Ruby Riott will go one-on-one, and to be honest, that’s pretty exciting. Quite frankly, this should have been the PPV match.

Drew McIntyre is looking like he’s about to have the singles run of the century. Last week, The Dogs of War essentially imploded, as Dolph Ziggler was attacked by Braun Strowman, who was then attacked by McIntyre.

Tonight, Dolph and Drew will put their Raw Tag Team Championships on the line against Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. If the past is any bit indicative of tonight, we may see new Tag Team Champions (Tag Team Champions who may break up, but I digress).

Speaking of Rollins and Ambrose, I’m also sure we’ll be either one step closer or farther away to determining whether or not Dean Ambrose is going to turn on the Shield. It’s a double-edged sword tonight really – Dogs lose, they break up, Shield loses, they break up? We shall see.

All this, and another appearance by DX to help fluff up their match with The Brother of Destruction at Crown Jewel. Perhaps The Brothers will stop by, perhaps not.

We’ll be coming out tonight with live updates and reviews of tonight’s show, so follow along with us, and tune in to WWE Raw tonight at 8PM/7PM Central on the USA Network!
