It’s the final RAW before Summerslam this coming Sunday, (August 23) so anything is possible tonight. In some nosing around before the show comes on, there are rumours that Rey Mysterio might return tonight? I had also seen a change to Seth Match with Dominick but that info has disappeared. (street fight)
**side note Payback is listed to take place on August 30th. Sasha/Bayley will defend the Women’s tag team titles at that event.
Let talk this so-called group called Retribution. I am hearing rumours of some people who might be part of it but let’s get the story going or get rid of it.
Asuka/Shayna facing off against Sasha/Bayley in tag action. Bayley /Sasha in the ring, running off at the mouth about how good they are and everyone else is trash. Even the kids at the performance centre are getting bored with the storyline. Nia Jax showed up, taking out Shayna at least for now. Asuka on her own, thanks to Nia. Shayna back to the match, screaming as Asuka to let her know she is there. Asuka and Shayna made Bayley/Sasha tap out.
Shawn Michaels in for a visit.
Drew McIntyre opening the show. Drew is in a good mood but for how long? (showing footage from Ric/Randy last week) (Im getting sick of this, trying to listen to Drew but they are trashing the trailer, know its storyline but WHY?) Seth showed up going Drew has no right to lead the locker room against Retribution. Seth is calling everyone a liar that Rey is in the building.
M.V.P/Bobby Lashley/Shelton Benjamin on the way to the ring. M.V.P is blaming Apollo Crews for all the crap with Rebtribution. If Apollo can beat Shelton, in a one on one match, Bobby/Shelton are banned from ringside on Sunday. Apollo got the win but now they have jumped him. Here comes Ricochet/Cedric/Mustafa to help.
Angel Garza in singles action against Ivar from the Viking Raiders. Cheap shot garza with the win.
Natalya(Lana in Nattie’s corner) in the ring facing Micky James. Mickey returning after doing her ACL. With help from Lana, Nattie with the win. Mickey just took out Lana. (Seth out screaming at Samoa Joe how he knows that Rey is in the building, I love that Samoa Joe is getting in Seth’s head)
The Iconics trash talking with the Riott Squad. Once again, the Riott squad gets screwed. Payton pushed Ruby into Liv.
Here comes Rey and Dominick out to the ring. Rey will be in Dominick’s corner on Sunday at Summerslam. Seth once again blaming Rey in all of this, deflecting the truth. Seth/Murphy on their way to the ring. (please end this storyline, the sooner the better) Dom/Rey set up Seth/Murphy with Kendo sticks.
Apollo/Ricochet/Mustafa in a 6 man tag elimination against Bobby Lashley/Shelton Benjamin/M.V.P. You get pinned and your out. Bobby pinned Mustafa, Ricochet pinned by Shelton, now down to Apollo. (they will do all they can to try and injury Apollo before Sunday) Apollo takes out Shelton. (Cedric just pinned Shelton for the 24/7 Title) Crews just pinned MVP.
Singles action with Montez Ford facing Andrade. Ford is so focused holding his own. Bianca Belair took care of Zelina, giving Andrade the distraction helping Montez steal the win.
Shaun Michaels in the ring, chatting about Ric Flair, referencing the video from last week. Randy did catch Drew in an RKO but Drew got a good beating in also.
