Am I the only one that likes this episode of RAW? Yes, it was filler but it was a good filler. What a way to return from a few days of not reviewing a wrestling show then to review a filler episode that I actually like.
Seth Rollins Says That He's Sorry.
Why did the beast slayer say sorry? Well, if you haven't watched last week's show then basically, he trash-talked the RAW roster and he did it out of love for his colleagues and Rollins has apologized especially to Owens after Seth's attack on Owens last week on RAW.
Out came Kevin Owens and he mentioned the beating he took last week from AOP and Owens does think that Seth and the big guys are working together.
The Authors Of Pain showed up and they wanted to challenge the two people standing in the ring and Rollins was all for it, however, Kevin says otherwise and he predicts that once the match was over, Seth will turn on him so Owens wanted to get this match over with.
Rollins wanted no part of it and he left but when Seth was on AOP's way, they kindly moved away for Seth to leave the stage. Kevin challenged anybody to a match to which Lana showed up and she had a verbal back and forth with Owens leading to Bobby Lashley coming out to the ring.
I really liked the fact that Kevin Owens knows that Seth will turn on the guy. It makes the good guy not as dumb as how babyfaces are usually portrayed. Overall, a well-orchestrated segment.
Bobby Lashley vs Kevin Owens.
AOP quickly walked to the ring and they stomped on Owens and drags Owens to the backstage area.
Meanwhile, Rusev kicked Bobby Lashley from behind. After Lashley and Lana were yelling at the detectives, the police officers arrested both guys. What goes around comes around I guess.
Drew McIntyre vs Akira Tozawa.
We've seen a lot of Tozawa as of late even though he took another L courtesy of the claymore kick. After that, Drew delivered an unnecessary dig at the performers that go to Twitter and air their problems.
The Scottish psychopath calls out Randy and Randy answered the call. Orton says that if he and Drew have a problem then let's solve it right now. The O.C shows up and like Drew, Styles wants his hands on Randy Orton.
McIntyre walks out of the ring and what enters are The O.C but Ricochet, Humberto Carrillo and Rey Mysterio made sure that they get rid of the heel trio. This segment went way too long like way too long. It really suffered from pacing and by the way, did I mention that the segment was long?
Aleister Black vs Tony Nese.
A very competitive match. Nese ate the black mass and the premier athlete lost the match. Charly Caruso asked Buddy Murphy why did he knock on Black's door? Murphy said that Black takes himself way too seriously and he will knock Black out.
Andrade vs Erick Young.
The former leader of Sanity loses in his hometown, you know, something that we haven't seen before right? Right? Also, the match was surprisingly good. Oh, and there was a 24/7 championship change. R Truth lost his title to a NASCAR champion, Kyle Busch.
Charly Caruso asked Seth why didn't he help Kevin Owens? Rollins goes on a rant saying that whatever he does, he always ends up being the bad guy. He ends the interview by saying that everyone's a critic but not everyone has the guts to be a leader.
Erick Rowan vs No Way Jose.

No Way Jose got a full entrance on TV which was rare. The conga line wanted to look at the thing that Erick Rowan's carrying and Rowan destroyed everybody and especially No Way Jose with two iron claws.
Charlotte Flair vs The Kabuki Warriors.
Asuka and Kairi Sane were attacking Charlotte before the match started but the match did start mere moments later. This handicap match was one-sided for the most part.
Asuka hits a series of kicks on Charlotte's lower back but Charlotte did a crossbody on both women outside the ring from the top rope. Flair hits a moonsault and Kabuki Warriors reversed that by putting their knees on Charlotte.

The queen then plants on both women with a spear to which Flair locked in the figure eight on Asuka but Flair didn't see Asuka tag Kairi Sane and as soon as Charlotte transitions the bridge, Sane hits the insane elbow drop and the warriors takes the W.
This match was awesome not gonna lie. Kabuki Warriors are probably the best women's tag team champions right now and blew all of the reigns before it.
The Viking Raiders squashed some jobbers. Whatever.
The O.C vs Rey Mysterio, Humberto Carrillo And Ricochet.
An okay main event match. During the closing moments of that match, Ricochet tried to hit the hurricanrana from the top rope to Styles but Styles caught him and instead turned it into the Styles Clash and the heels win this one. AJ celebrates his victory and Styles got an RKO from outta nowhere.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: Charlotte Flair vs Asuka and Kairi Sane, Erick Young vs Andrade (yes, I'm just as surprised as you are), the opening segment, Aleister Black vs Tony Nese.
Didn't like: The Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton And The O.C segment.
