WWE Monday Night Raw May 21, 2018 Results and Review The Billion Dollar Play

The show opened up with Kurt Angle and Stephanie McMahon. She told Roman Reigns that he lost and he should take things up with Jinder Mahal. Of course, that meant someone was coming out, but it wasn't Mahal, it was Kevin Owens. I hate talking segments on Raw, and so sick of these things that keep coming through. This is like a parody that South Park did. Stephanie McMahon would get upset by Kevin Owens coming out, and decided to make a match, and that was next. The match would feature Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens. A good start to the show, but it took roughly 16 minutes to get to the match.

WWE Monday Night Raw May 21, 2018 Results and Review

Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens Ended in a No Contest

This match was a good opener. Roman Reigns looked strong throughout the match, and Kevin Owens was getting beat up for the most part. While there were some moments where Owens hit Roman with some hard shots, you could tell that Roman was being relegated to win this one, as he kept getting the upper hand through the counters. Jinder Mahal would come down and mess things up for Roman Reigns, but after that, Seth Rollins came down to help his buddy Roman, and that was that. I'm not sure why Rollins cares all of a sudden, but apparently he does now.

Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins defeated Kevin Owens and Jinder Mahal

You would think that Teddy Long came down and set this up, because when the commercial break ended, we had ourselves a "straight up" tag team match, playas! That's right, a full scale beat down of Roman Reigns and Rollins, as Owens and Jinder were able to isolate the Big Dog for this one. It was a fun tag match, and while it wasn't the best one ever, it was definitely good for what it was, a long bout with some focus on Reigns getting beat up while Rollins had to wait for the hot tag. Rolins would get the big win here and that's that. I didn't really care for the ending, but I guess that's that. Roman Reigns and Rollins gets cheered.

Jinder Mahal came out after the match, and hit Roman Reigns with a chair and beat up Rollins as well. Jinder Mahal just kept hitting Reigns with a chair and that was that. I liked that part of the show.

Sami Zayn and Bobby Lashley's Sisters

This perhaps is the worst thing I've seen since Bayley, this is your life. This was just sad. I don't even want to talk about it. It was the worst.

Ember Moon defeated Alexa Bliss

Well, that's the end of Alexa Bliss. This was a cool match, but Bliss lost this one, after Ember Moon was able to turn the tables and hit her finisher on Bliss. I was impressed, Alexa Bliss was crying, and wow, Ember Moon is good. I hope to see more of her on Raw.

Baron Corbin defeated No Way Jose

This was a slow moving match, and No Way Jose ended up losing big time here. Corbin hit End of Days, and well that was that. This was a short match, and it was made even shorter with a commercial.

The B Team defeated Breezango

A quick match with The B Team celebrating, and that's it. Not bad, not great, just kind of there.

The Women's Title Match Signing

This was boring. Nothing happened here. I will be at Money In The Bank, however.

Elias defeated Bobby Roode

This was a good match, and was happy to see that Elias was able to go through Bobby Roode. Roode definitely did well here, but Elias was the one that was getting the win, and he did so with Drift Away. Roode is great at wrestling, and Elias is definitely no slouch, that's for sure. I liked this match. I like Elias, I am walking with Elias!

Braun Strowman defeated Finn Balor

This was a fun match for what it was. Balor kept fighting against Strowman, and it just looked like he was going to be the aggressor throughout, but Strowman kept fighting back. Over the course of this match, a lot went down, with both guys showcasing the best of their offense, including several big moves from Balor to Strowman on the floor. However, Strowman wasn't to be beaten yet again.

Well, there you have it, Raw was nothing big, and well, it was a show. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. I think that there's better ways to use the roster, but alas, it had a few moments, I guess.
