WWE Raw Results:

– The show started with a recap montage of last week’s incidents involving Paul Heyman, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, and Roman Reigns.

– Kurt Angle and Baron Corbin entered the ring. Angle announced Ronda Rousey’s upcoming match, and criticized Lesnar. Roman Reigns entered and told Angle that he respected him, and called out Corbin for not standing up for Angle last week. Angle guaranteed that Reigns will fight Lesnar at SummerSlam. Corbin criticized Angle for being biased towards Reigns, and insulted Finn Balor. Corbin and Reigns trash-talked each other, and Angle set up a match between them after the Constable struck the Big Dog.

1) Roman Reigns defeated Baron Corbin. After the men had been fighting for some time, Corbin powdered out of the ring. He was going to go backstage rather than finish the match, but Finn Balor came out and blocked his exit. Reigns used this opportunity to Superman Punch Corbin, and pinned him back in the ring with a spear. Reigns and Balor fist-bumped. Balor then delivered a Coup de Grace to Corbin.

– Seth Rollins asked Kurt Angle to help him deal with both Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler at the same time, and Angle told him that if he found a partner, he would have a tag team match against them later that night.

2) Bobby Roode defeated Mojo Rawley. Roode pinned Rawley after a Glorious DDT.

– Elias played guitar and ordered around the production crew of his next documentary. He insulted Bobby Lashley, the audience, and Jacksonville. Lashley entered, and he and Elias insulted each other. Lashley threatened Elias, and Elias attacked him. The two men brawled, and Lashley delivered a vertical suplex to Elias after telling his documentary crew to make sure to film it.

– Tyler Breeze approached Seth Rollins backstage and pitched the tag team “Crossfit Breezus” to him, but his attempt at a Shield fist bump summoned Roman Reigns, who said he would be Seth’s tag team partner instead.

3) Rezar defeated Titus O’Neill. Rezar pinned O’Neill after a one-handed spinebuster.

– Jinder Mahal (with Sunil Singh) was the guest on The Kevin Owens Show. Owens said that Mahal’s methods helped him achieve inner peace and freed him from the physical pain of his Extreme Rules injury. Owens talked about how he and Mahal are two of the few men to beat Braun Strowman, and said he should be Mr. Money In The Bank. Owens pitched Jinder Mahal vs. Braun Strowman to Mahal, and called Strowman a coward when he didn’t immediately come out for this match. Then Strowman FLIPPED THE KEVIN OWENS SHOW SET OUTTA NOWHERE.

4) Jinder Mahal defeated Braun Strowman via disqualification. Kevin Owens tried to steal Strowman’s briefcase multiple times, and the Monster Among Men was DQ’ed after hitting Mahal in the gut with it.

– We saw a video package about the Reigns vs. Lesnar rivalry.

– Baron Corbin said Stephanie McMahon ordered Reigns to forgo tagging with Rollins or he would lose his match at SummerSlam. Rollins opted to compete in a handicap match.

5) Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins. Ziggler pinned Rollins after a superkick.

6) The B Team vs. the Revival ended in a No Contest. The Deleters of Worlds teleported (???) to the ring apron and beat up Dash Wilder and Bo Dallas after replacing their tag partners/possibly sacrificing them to the gods a la Lucha Underground.

– Renee Young interviewed an emotional Paul Heyman about Brock Lesnar.

6) The Riott Squad (Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan) defeated The Boss-Hug Connection (Sasha Banks and Bayley.) Ruby Riott returned from injury to distract Banks, allowing Logan to score a roll-up victory.

7) Ronda Rousey def. Alicia Fox. Rousey tapped out Fox with an armbar. Alexa Bliss attacked Rousey after the match, and Rousey cut a promo on the Raw Women’s Champion.
