WWE Monday Night Raw August 20, 2018 Results and Review The Roman Show Continues

Finn Balor vs. Roman Reigns - Source WWE

Roman Reigns showed up, cut a promo, then got a handshake from Finn Balor. After that, we got a Baron Corbin to cut a promo, and that prompted Kurt Angle, so we started the show with a lot of talking, which I hate.

Bobby Lashley defeated Baron Corbin

There was a match setup by Angle, and we got these two brawling, and throwing haymakers at one another. This was a hard fought battle, and it was great overall. It was simple to work with if you were expecting the two to put on a quick match, and I liked it. Lashley was able to throw in a good amount of offense, and Corbin just couldn’t hang in the ned, losing after Lashley threw in some heavy hits.

The Riott Squad defeated Sasha Banks, Bayley and Ember Moon

Wow, this was another good match, although, it wasn’t that long. The Squad was able to cheat their way through victory, and once again put down the friends, and Moon, and were able to work as a unit. That’s always fun to watch, and well, they won big.

Triple H cut a promo, and just talked. It was boring. He will face Undertaker October 6, meh. Ok.

Elias defeated Curt Hawkins

Well, this was a quick one, and Hawkins earned his pay check that’s for certain. The end, that’s it.

The Authors of Pain defeated Titus Worldwide

Well that was that. It was ok at best. I didn’t hate it, but I did not love it either. Meh. The best part was Apollo Crews going to town on AOP and doing some amazing athletic things, but other than that, AOP wins and that’s that.

Ronda Rousey Ceremony

Oh my lord, this sucked. I hated it. Stephanie McMahon made things lame, and well this was dumb. Ugh.

The Revival defeated The B Team

The Revival beat the B Team in singles action. First Bo loses than Axel loses. These were short matches, and the job was done with ease. It was a fun showcase, none the less, and it was ok. The B Team sucks, I don’t like them. Oh well. I got bored with Raw.

Roman Reigns defeated Finn Balor

This was a very good match, with a lot of upside. It was a fast moving option for sure, and I liked how well it turned out . Balor took on a lot of elements, and the offense here was great. But the ending had a distraction and that let Roman Reigns pick up the win.

After the win, Braun Strowman tried to cash in. But he couldn’t, because The Shield reunited and showed up to mop up Strowman. The band is back together! So the Shield are now going to protect Roman’s interest? Meh.

Another night of Raw, and if my hip didn’t hurt I’d like this more, it was ok at best.
