(1) Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt defeated The Revival to retain the Raw Tag Team Championships. Hardy and Bray both received big pops.
(2) Mark Andrews defeated James Drake.
(3) No Way Jose & Breezango & The Ascension defeated AOP & Baron Corbin & Jinder Mahal & Curt Hawkins. Hawkins tagged himself in, and his partners just walked away and let him finish the match on his own. No Way Jose pinned Hawkins.
(4) Nia Jax defeated Bayley & Alexa Bliss to retain the Raw Women’s Championship when Jax pinned Bliss.
(5) Braun Strowman & Bobby Lashley defeated Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn. Entertaining match. Owens and Zayn were in control for most of the match, before Lashley finally tagged in Strowman who got the win.
(6) Roman Reigns defeated Samoa Joe. Roman Reigns got a mixed reaction, mostly cheers, but there were definitely a number of boos. A few “Let’s Go Roman / Roman Sucks” dueling chants broke out. I’d say he was getting around 70 percent cheers, which isn’t surprising as there were lots of kids and families in attendance who seemed to like him. Joe got a huge pop, probably one of the top five of the night. I think quite a few people were pleased to see him as it was unexpected now he’s over on Smackdown.
Intermission
(7) Sasha Banks & Ember Moon & Natalya defeated The Riott Squad. I enjoyed this match. Liv Morgan tapped out to the Bank Statement.
(8) Drew McIntyre & Dolph Ziggler defeated Titus Worldwide. Drew looked great.
(9) Seth Rollins defeated Finn Balor and Elias and Bobby Roode in a Fatal Four-way for the Intercontinental Title. Elias sang to the crowd before being interrupted. The fans loved Elias. When he asked for the fans to hold their applause, everyone started clapping. Braun Strowman got the pop of the night. Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins got the biggest pops of the night. They were both really popular. The “Monday Night Rollins” shirt was easily the most popular I saw too.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Overall a good, fun show.
