WWE RAW | Review-ish Special

It's very rare that a RAW Review-ish is written as not much of note happens during the three hours we see on TV every Monday Night (Tuesday Morning here in the U.K) was it the same as usual? you will find out right now.  

Match Results
Charlotte Flair defeated Shayna Baszler. 

Drew McIntyre & The Viking Raiders defeated Jinder Mahal, Veer & Shanky.

Damian Priest defeated Jeff Hardy to remain United States Champion.

Nikki Cross defeated Tamina.

Rhea Ripley defeated Natalya.

Omos & AJ Styles & Mace & T-Bar defeated New Day & Mansoor & Mustafa Ali.

Doudrop defeated Eva Marie. 

Bobby Lashley defeated Randy Orton to remain WWE Champion. 

RAW Review-ish
The show kicked off with a in ring promo with Big E saying he was going cash in his Money In The Bank, he was interrupted by Riddle & Randy Orton and Bobby Lashley and MVP. This was an entertaining segment to hype up the main event with interesting words exchanged between Orton and Lashley. 

Charlotte defeated Shayna Baszler, after Nia Jax cost her tag partner the match as payback from last week, they will face each next week on RAW, not much to say about the six man tag match where Drew pinned Shanky for the win via the Claymore Kick.

The United States Championship Match between Damian Priest and Jeff Hardy was probably the match of the night, Priest continues to impress, in regards to Jeff Hardy, it's good to see him compete in a top level match instead of chasing the 24/7 title. 

Nikki and Rhea picked up wins in singles competition against the Women's Tag Team Champions, which technically puts them in line for a title match in the future, maybe at Extreme Rules in a couple of weeks, we shall see, Tegan Nox and Shotzi Blackheart will also have a say in this as they picked a win against Tamina and Natalya, weeks ago on SmackDown. 

Omos, like Damian Preist, continues to impress in the ring, he picked up the win in the eight man tag, the Royal Rumble is months away, however, he could be a contender to win, if he is booked correctly creatively. 

Doudrop defeated Eva Marie in what was a decent match, it's been said before and is going to be said again, hopefully this the end of the feud, move them on to other opponents.

Bobby Lashley defeated Randy Orton in the main event, he looked to have injured his knee after he put Orton through the announce table ringside, that was good story telling on his part, which is where Big E's music hit, he was true to his word, he cashed in successfully to become the NEW WWE Champion. Congratulations to him, well deserved, hopefully he will have a great run with the title.

During the show, it was announced the WWE Draft will be returning on October 1st on Friday Night SmackDown and concluding on October 4th on RAW. That is it for the review-ish, be sure to check back here for more content.
