Erick Rowan vs. Matt Hardy [Grudge Match]
Matt Hardy tries to get some early offense in but Rowan delivers a splash onto Hardy and wants to show him the cage. Hardy moves out of the way and Rowan stretches his hand in the cage but gets bitten. Rowan gets mad and slams the cage on the steel steps.
Hardy attempts to capitalize with an attack from behind, but Rowan delivers a running crossbody outside the ring and an Ironclaw Chokeslam inside the ring for the pinfall and the victory. Rowan does it again.
Result: Erick Rowan
Grade: 1.5/5.0 Stars
Analysis: Erick Rowan continues to run through his competition. Unfortunately, Matt Hardy became a victim. Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe convey that Rollins and Murphy being Raw Tag Team Champions is a problem but they will handle them personally in the Royal Rumble. Singh Brothers attempt to dethrone Mojo Rawley for the 24/7 Championship but fail to do so. The mixed tag match between Rusev and Liv Morgan and Bobby Lashley and Lana is NEXT!
Rusev and Liv Morgan vs. Bobby Lashley and Lana [Mixed Tag Match]
Lana proclaims herself the best wrestler in the world as she slaps Liv Morgan around but Morgan delivers a neckbreaker and tags Rusev in for the hot tag. Rusev rallies with two clotheslines and a Samoan Drop. He delivers an Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex.
Lana distracts Rusev into the Dominator, but Morgan breaks up the pinfall. Lana runs in the ring to stop Morgan but Morgan tosses Lana outside the ring and delivers an Enziguiri to Lashley. However, that was not enough as Lana holds onto Rusev’s leg, assisting Lashley in delivering a Spear for the pinfall and the victory.
Result: Bobby Lashley and Lana
Grade: 2.0/5.0 Stars
Analysis: Whatever. The star of the match was Liv Morgan, but that’s about it. What a Raw! We are on the road to WWE Royal Rumble 2020! Yay?
