Judgment Day corners Danhausen backstage!

After Saturday Night’s Main Event, JD McDonagh has especially had it! No more tricks! No more “Kathausen,” no more “Minihausens!” Where’s the money!? Danhausen told them, he doesn’t have it! Liv Morgan says enough! She’s gonna bust him open using the title belt if he doesn’t pay up! Danhausen says let him go, he’ll go find the money. Dom says he has 30 seconds, or they’re gonna break Danhausen’s jaw so they don’t have to hear any more of his stupid curses! Danhausen says deal, then runs off. Judgment Day is waiting, but will they really get what they want? Or can Danhausen finally give them what they deserve?

Big Cass continues to relive his past.

His turn on Enzo Amore, his downward spiral, and his eventual injury. “You may make it to the top, but you have no idea just how far you can fall.” August 3rd approaches, will Cass be ready?

Danhausen heads to the ring.

Detroit cheers The Very Nice, Very Evil Overlord, and he hurries to the ring with a big leather handbag. Is that where he put the human moneys? Danhausen gets the mic, and he says, “Hello, Detroithausen! It is I, Danhausen! And y’know, Danhausen thought he took care of the Judgment Day at Saturday Night’s Main Event. However, they seem to still want their human moneys back, and this is causing quite the problem for Danhausen. So I don’t want it, but I don’t want The Judgment Day to have it… How about we give it to the fanhausens?! Who wants some human moneys?” The fans like that, but Judgment Day does not as they hurry out here!

JD shouts at Danhausen that NO, NO, NO! Dom says give them their money back! There is not one person in this scumbag town that gets $1 of their money! Give them their money back! The fans boo as Dom< JD & Liv storm into the ring. Danhausen says he has one thing to say. YOU ARE CURSED! But then JD & Dom jump him! The fans boo, Liv says this is what Danhausen gets! JD & Dom stand Danhausen up, Liv SLAPS him down! But JOE HENDRY is here! The fans fire up as The Prestigious One THROWS JD out, then FALL AWAY SLAMS Dom! Hendry kips up, TURNS, then LARIATS Dom up and out!

Liv runs away with the boys, she has the money! The fans boo, but can Hendry & Danhausen get even with Judgment Day down the line? Well hold on, Adam Pearce is backstage as Judgment Day celebrates their “win.” Pearce says he is SICK of this nonsense! Hendry & Danhausen storm in after them, Pearce has them all stop it! JD says wait! There’s FAKE MONEY in here! JD THROWS the bag away! Danhausen smiles, but JD says listen here, ya punk! But then OBA FEMI is the one who caught the bag. Oba asks if this is JD’s bag. JD says no, it was Danhausen’s. But Danhausen points out JD threw it. Snitch!

Oba tells JD he should kill him! Pearce says hold on, how about we take this to the ring? Oba, you head out there, Pearce will take care of it. It’s official! Dom says this isn’t fair! Pearce says true, it’s not. Dom can face Hendry later. Sounds like money to Pearce! Now get out there! Is this Danhausen’s curse kicking in on the Irish Ace? Or is it simply The Ruler being backed by destiny?

Oba Femi VS JD McDonagh w/ Dominik Mysterio!

Raw returns as Pearce has to usher JD & Dom down the ramp. Oba is waiting, but then #Hendryhausen get JD & Dom! They THROW the two in there, and Oba DOUBLE LARIATS! The fans fire up, Oba TOSSES Dom back out, and the bell rings. JD kicks low, fires hands and CHOPS, but Oba just scowls. Detroit fires up for “O~BA!” while JD runs. Oba BACKDROPS JD away! JD hurries to a corner while the fans fire up, Oba runs in, and UPPERCUTS! Oba keeps moving and he UPPERCUTS again! Then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Oba hauls JD up, for the SHOTPUT BOMB! Oba is all fired up, and he pops JD up for the FALL FROM GRACE!! Cover, Oba wins!

Winner: Oba Femi, by pinfall

Cursed or not, it’s never a good night when you gotta fight Oba Femi. Oba says no more games, no more fake money! The real money is in Oba Femi! See you at SummerSlam, Brock Lesnar! But will The Ruler make sure to slay The Beast once and for all? Or is Lesnar the one man who can conquer this mountain?

Solo Sikoa storms to ringside from the crowd!

Detroit is a bit torn seeing the Prodigal Son, but he tells us to listen! He’s not even supposed to be here! But he’s got a proposition to make: Seth Rollins, get out here now. The fans like where this is going, and Seth Rollins indeed makes his entrance. The Architect joins Solo in the ring while the fans sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins gets a mic to say that since Solo doesn’t go here, he’ll be the first to welcome him to Monday Night Rollins! And now, since Solo is on Rollins’ show, what can he do for Solo? Are we talking? Or are we fighting? Fans hope for “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!” but Solo says he’s here to talk.

The fans boo, but Solo says he wants Rollins to hear him out. Rollins is focused on getting ready for Roman Reigns at SummerSlam, but he has to understand: It isn’t just Rollins VS Roman, it is not 1v1, it is Rollins VS The Bloodline, and that’s 4v1. Solo knows what they’re going to do. He knows how they think, how they’re going to move, because he was part of it. Solo wants Seth to understand, they’re gonna make it so he doesn’t stand a chance at SummerSlam. But it doesn’t have to be like that. The reason why Solo called Rollins out here is to tell him that he can watch Rollins’ back at SummerSlam. The fans don’t like the sound of that.

The fans chant for “O T C! O T C!” while Rollins thinks. Rollins won’t lie, Solo makes a lot of good points. Solo is right about Roman about The Bloodline, and about the fact that maybe, if they worked together, it’d be something special. Y’know what? Let Rollins think on it, Uce. But then Solo keeps Rollins from leaving! The fans boo Solo, Solo says there is nothing to think about! The writing is on the wall! This is the game plan, it’ll work. The same thing Rollins did for Cody to defeat Roman, Solo can do the same for Rollins! But then Jacob Fatu makes his way out here! Solo bails out, so guess he’ll have to let Rollins think on it.

Fatu says Solo knows what he has to do! Otherwise, Fatu will dog walk Solo’s ass! But then Rollins SUPERKICKS Fatu down! Rollins smiles as he has the Samoan Werewolf down in the corner! Rollins takes his leave, was that his way of accepting Solo’s offer? Or is the enemy of his enemy still not his friend?

PENTA & Chad Gable VS Ethan Page & Rusev!

As SummerSlam approaches, tensions are rising, and the WWE Intercontinental Champion looks to team with his future challenger against some common enemies. Will there be #CeroMiedo in Motor City? Or will it be nothing but All Ego and Rusev Day?

Raw returns as the American Made Man makes his entrance, followed by Penta’s. The teams sort out, but then Ethan & Rusev just attack! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but the bell rings. Ethan THROWS Gable out, Rusev feeds Penta to a BOOT, then Ethan covers, TWO! Ethan tags Rusev, they DOUBLE SUPLEX, then Rusev covers, TWO! The fans rally for Penta but Rusev KICKS him in the side! Rusev drags Penta up, whips him into the corner, then runs up to SPLASH! Tag to Ethan, he fires hands and stomps. Rusev tags right back in, he and Ethan double whip Penta into the corner. Penta BOOTS and SUPERKICKS in return!

Penta runs, dodges, and Gable is up top! FLYING DOUBLE LARIAT! The fans fire up as Gable then LARIATS Ethan up and out! Rusev is on the apron, Penta triangle jumps, but Rusev BACKDROPS him instead! The fans boo but Rusev sends Penta into the steel steps! Rusev seethes while Raw goes to break.

Raw returns as Rusev grinds Penta down with a chinlock. The fans rally, but Rusev shoves Penta down, only to miss the splash! The fans rally as Penta grabs at Rusev, fires forearms, but Rusev KNEES low! Rusev whips, Penta KICKS, but Rusev keeps Penta from Gable. Rusev whips Penta to a corner, runs up, but into a BOOT! Penta goes up, up, and CROSSBODY! Down goes Penta and the fans fire up again! Penta and Rusev crawl for the corners, hot tags to Ethan and Gable! Gable CLOBBERS Ethan, ROLLING LIGER KICKS Rusev, then GERMAN SUPLEXES Ethan! And GERMAN SUPLEXES! And then dodges Rusev to OVERHEAD SUPLEX!

The fans fire up but Ethan waistlocks Gable. Gable switches to GERMAN SUPLEX again! Detroit fires up as they’re not Suplex City! Gable then hits an ANGLE SLAM! Cover, TWO! The fans rally behind Gable as he goes up, up, and MOONSAULTS, but has to land out as Ethan doges! Ethan kicks, suplexes, but Gable slips free! Rusev tags in while Ethan bucks the O’Conner! But Gable goes for Rusev! Rusev denies the Angle Slam, shoves Gable to Ethan, ROUNDHOUSE into BOOT into JUMP KNEE! Then the SWINGING SLAM! Cover, Penta KICKS it apart! Ethan DECKS Penta, but Penta gets up to fire back!

Penta CHOPS, springboards, but Ethan ROCKS Penta! Ethan whips, Penta reverses and TOSSES Ethan out! Penta runs and FLIES! Down goes Ethan and the fans fire up again! Gable and Rusev storm up, and Gable fires a haymaker! Rusev fires back, and they go back and forth! The fans boo Rusev but cheer Gable! The shots go faster ‘n’ faster, then fast ‘n’ furious! The fans cheer as Gable then gets under Rusev! But Rusev slips free, trips Gable, and clamps on the ACCOLADE! Gable endures, reaches out, and he powers up! The fans fire up as Gable powers free, only for Rusev to HEADBUTT him down!

Rusev STOMPS Gable, then THROWS him into Penta! The fans boo but then Gable snatches Rusev’s leg! ANKLE LOCK!! Ethan stumbles in, but Penta leaps over Gable, DESTROYER!! Gable makes Rusev TAP! Gable & Penta win!

Winners: Penta & Chad Gable, by submission

Rusev tried to break Gable, but Gable is made of tougher stuff than that! He and Penta celebrate their win, but what happens when they battle each other in less than two weeks?

Jacob Fatu finds Seth Rollins backstage.

The Architect dares the Werewolf to hit him. C’mon! He knows Fatu wants to! Oh, but he can’t, can he? No, Rollins knows the game. Fatu is on strict orders from his Tribal Chief not to lay a finger on Rollins, huh? So then Rollins asks Fatu this: When Rollins beats Roman at SummerSlam, does he get the title and his bag boy? Fatu says okay, Rollins got one up tonight. It won’t happen no more. And if there’s anything left of Rollins after SummerSlam, Fatu will beat dat ass! Rollins says sure thing, then he heads out. But can Fatu focus on the task at hand in the form of L A Knight?

Paul Heyman speaks.

“Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. I serve as the Advocate for the King of the Cage, the Ultimate Fighter in WWE, The Beast of the Brocktagon, Brock… Lesnar. They asked me not to use the word, ‘Violence,’ in hyping Hell in a Cell, Brock Lesnar VS Oba Femi, at SummerSlam. How do I do that? How do I sell the Cell without telling you the truth about what awaits Oba Femi in Minneapolis? That Cell is unforgiving, the structure is uncompromising, and the violence… Oh, the violence is extreme. And Mr. Femi? Well, he’s Oba-rated.

“Because everyone thinks this streak that Brock Lesnar has put together in never losing inside Hell in a Cell all comes to an end at SummerSlam. But it’s the other way around. Oba Femi has delivered the greatest rookie year in WWE history since… Brock Lesnar. And this Next Next Big Thing thinks he will conquer, rule over Brock’s streak inside Hell in a Cell, when the truth is… Oba Femi, you can’t beat Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell. And this rookie year will not go down in history for the reasons everyone wants, because Oba Femi was so dominant against the entire roster. No, no, no, no, no.

“This rookie year goes down in history because it all comes to a violent end in Minneapolis, at the hands of Brock… Lesnar.” The Wise Man has spoken, but is this a prediction? Or is it a spoiler?

Dominik Mysterio w/ Liv Morgan VS Joe Hendry!

Dirty Dom thought he and The Judgment Day were gonna be back in the money, but their fortunes changed fast tonight. Will the AAA Mega Champion be able to win this match he had only tonight to prepare for? Or will even he start to believe in Joe Hendry?

Raw returns as Hendry makes his entrance, the fans waving their hands from side to side. Then Hendry does the TURN! The bell rings, Dom kicks Hendry and fires fast hands! Dom RAMS Hendry again and again but the fans boo. The ref counts as Dom stomps a mudhole in, and Dom stops to flex. The fans boo, but Dom whips, Hendry reverses, and he RUSN Dom over! Dom staggers up, Hendry HIP TOSSES, then he CHOPS Dom in the corner! Hendry UPPERCUTS Dom, HEADBUTTS, then stomps away. The ref counts, Liv protests, but Hendry stops at 4. Hendry storms up on Dom, UPPERCUTS again, then whips corner to corner.

Dom hits buckles hard, falls to the mat, but Hendry brings him up for a suplex! The fans cheer as Hendry holds Dom up, walks around, and shows off to each side of the crowd! Then Hendry SLAMS Dom down! The fans cheer, Hendry brings Dom up again, and he ROCKS Dom. Hendry whips, Dom grabs ropes and he BOOTS back! Hendry runs up again but Dom DUMPS Hendry out! Dom builds speed, but Hendry catches the dive! And he pops Dom around to a fireman’s carry! Military press SLAM on the desk! Dom sputters, Liv is worried, but Hendry puts Dom in the ring. But then Liv POSTS Hendry behind the ref’s back!

The fans boo but the WWE Women’s World Champion gets away with one! Wait, Danhausen storms out here! The fans cheer as Danhausen stares Liv down, and tells her, “YOU! ARE!” Liv DECKS Danhausen! Danhausen flounders away, Liv says that’s what he gets, and Judgment Day is in control as Raw goes to break.

Raw returns as Dom grinds Hendry down with a chinlock, and even throws some crossface forearms. The fans rally as Hendry endures, and Hendry fights up. Liv talks trash on Hendry, but he still rises up, only for Dom to wrangle him back down. Hendry still fights, the fans still rally, and Hendry is up, only for Dom to become a backpack! But Hendry stays on his feet! Hendry rises up, swings Dom around, and suplexes through! The fans fire up while Hendry and Dom are both down. They both stand, and Hendry fires haymakers! Hendry whips, dodges Dom’s lariat, then scoops to FALL AWAY SLAM! Hendry kips up and… TURNS!

The fans fire up but Liv warns Dom. Dom stands, into the DISCUS LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Dom survives the “Hit Single,” but Hendry stays focused. The fans join in on the stomp stomp clap, but Liv shouts at Hendry! Hendry storms over, but Dom catches Hendry into a TORNADO DDT! The fans boo but Liv coaches Dom up. Wait, Danhausen returns, and Iyo Sky is with him! The fans cheer as The Genius storms up on Liv and the brawl is on! The fans fire up, Iyo SHOTEIS and then THROWS Liv into the LED apron! Iyo puts Liv in the ring, then aims from the apron. Iyo springboards to MISSILE DROPKICK Liv!

The fans fire up with Iyo, but the ref reprimands! Iyo goes out to the apron to then CROSSBODY Liv! The fans fire up, and Danhausen snatches Dom! DDD! Danhausen Death Drop! Hendry covers, Hendry wins!

Winner: Joe Hendry, by pinfall

Whether or not Judgment Day believes in Danhausen’s curse, they must believe in Joe Hendry! And together, #Hendryhausen TURNS! Meanwhile, can Liv survive the summer still the “Greatest Women’s World Champion of All Time?” Or is the Genius going to have her number then, now, and forever?

LA Knight VS Jacob Fatu!

While Solo Sikoa wants Seth Rollins to join up, we do know Solo, The Mega Star, and Royce Keys will all be battling The Bloodline at SummerSlam in a Six Man Tag. But can Knight score the first win in the war? Or will the Samoan Werewolf dog walk him on the road to Minneapolis?

Before the match, Knight gets the mic while the fans cheer him on. “LEMME TALK TO YA!” The fans cheer, and Knight says that he’s standing right here in the “Dirty D” right now, and we’re just a couple weeks from SummerSlam, Knight, Solo, Royce VS Jey, Jimmy & Jacob. Now correct him if he’s wrong, but did he not just hear Solo come out here, after Knight told him it is tough to trust him, and now Solo is talking about helping Rollins? HUH?! Knight can’t help but notice, everyone wanted Solo out the building, and Knight can’t blame you! He was going, “HUH!? HUH!?” He couldn’t believe it!

We talk about Rollins VS Roman at SummerSlam, it makes Knight sick! The fans are a bit torn, but there are plenty of fans cheering “O T C! O T C!” Knight gets it, Roman conned the fans. Roman’s come out here year after year after year, begging you all to please like him. The fans booed him outta the building, until finally, Roman figured something out! Knight is everything Roman has ever wanted to be! Day one, the fans saw it! they felt the undeniable kavorka! That is what Roman wanted to be, and that is what everyone else back there wanted Roman to be, but he couldn’t! Let’s call it what it is!

But as much as Knight can’t stand Roman, as much as he can’t stand Rollins, Solo is focusing on the wrong thing. Solo wants to help Seth Rollins? NAH NAH! Knight appreciates what Solo’s done against The Bloodline, that’s why they can partner for one night. But there’s no way, it is a bridge too far, to help a halfwit like Rollins. What they do is destroy The Bloodline so they’re not even a factor that night. They’re leaving either crawling or crying, but either way, they’re leaving on their ass! That’s not an insult, that’s just a fact of life! But as for tonight, in just a little bit, Fatu’s Mortal Kombat music is gonna play, he’s gonna test his might…

But try as you will, try as you might, you cannot stop LA Knight! We’ll put it like this: Do everything you can with the shakes! The cure is smacking you back to factory settings! And the whole time, the soundtrack to that will be the same all around the world, with everybody saying, “L! A! KNIGHT! YEAH!” And speaking of, Fatu makes his entrance. The Samoan Werewolf is ready to fight, but Raw is going to break.

Raw returns as the match is going, and Knight RAMS Fatu! Fatu brushes that off, but Knight kicks low and throws haymakers. “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then LEAPING LARIATS! The fans rally for Knight, but Fatu’s right up! Knight turns around, is surprised, but then he fires more hands! Fatu fires back, the fans fire up, and Fatu ROCKS Knight again and again. Knight dodges in the corner, fires more shots, then RAMS into Fatu again and again! The ref counts, Knight stops, but Fatu THROWS Knight to the corner! Fatu UPPERCUTS Knight down! The fans are torn while Knight sputters.

Fatu lines up a shot, he goes corner to corner, but Knight bails out! Knight trips Fatu, YANKS him into the post, then  SLAMS his leg against it! And then SLAMS the leg again! Fatu flounders away but Knight hurries after him. Knight CHOP BLOCKS Fatu’s leg, then grabs the leg. Knight stomps Fatu’s stomach! Knight goes for the legs again, but Fatu BOOTS him out of the ring! Fatu builds speed and DIVES! Down goes Knight and the fans fire up! Fatu drags Knight up and THROWS him into barriers! Fatu refreshes the count, THROWS Knight into the apron, then SMACKS him off the barriers. Fatu again refreshes the count before going back to Knight.

Fatu whips, Knight reverse, and Fatu hits steel steps! Fatu tumbles up and over, hurries to stand, but Knight is up to leap, into an APRON SAMOAN DROP! Knight flounders into the ring, Fatu tells the cameraman to get out his way, and the fans fire up for Fatu! But then Knight WRECKS Fatu with a dropkick! They’re at the desk, and Knight dribbles Fatu off the hood! But Fatu doesn’t even flinch! Fatu SHOVES Knight into the steps now! And runs up, only to be sent into the POST! Knight hobbles his way back over, SMACKS Fatu off the steps, and dribbles him off that now! “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!”

Knight goes to the apron, lines up another shot, and LEAPING LARIATS! Down goes Fatu, Knight stands tall, and the fans cheer as Raw goes picture in picture.

Knight hobbles his way over to Fatu, drags him up, and puts him in the ring. Knight then runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Fatu ELBOWS him down! Fatu drags Knight up, brings him around, and POSTS him! Knight slumps to the apron but Fatu goes out the side. Fatu looks under the ring, and he brings out a table, just to shove it back in! Fatu trolls Detroit before back to Knight. Knight kicks low, throws hands, but Fatu UPPERUTS! And then FLAPJACK off the desk! Fatu goes looking under the ring again, and he brings out some Gatorade to hydrate. Fatu goes back to Knight, puts him in the ring, then SENTONS! And SENTONS!

Knight sputters, Fatu talks trash, and Knight goes to a corner. Fatu runs in and HIP ATTACKS! Fatu geeks out and does those shakes, then he brings Knight around to cover, TWO! Fatu clamps onto Knight with the shoulder claws, but Knight endures. Raw returns to single picture as the fans chant, “We Want Tables!” Knight fights up, fires body shots, then ROCKS Fatu again and again! Fatu UPPERCUTS and HEADBUTTS Knight down! Fatu runs in again, but Knight dodges the splash! Then JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Fatu survives but Knight hurries to the apron. Knight climbs a corner, but Fatu SUPERKICKS the legs out!

Knight is stuck up top, Fatu goes up to ELBOW DROP! Knight flops down, Fatu covers, TWO! The fans cheer as Knight stays in this. Fatu goes to the corner now, he climbs up, and the fans cheer him on as he reaches the top. But then Knight ROCKS Fatu! Knight ROCKS Fatu again, climbs up top, and he fires more fists! The fans cheer Knight on as he HAMMERS away! Knight then brings Fatu up, but Fatu HEADBUTTS Knight down! Fatu adjusts, but Knight springs up after him! MEGA PLEX! Both men are down, the fans fire up, but here comes Jimmy Uso! The fans are torn as #BigJim coaches Fatu up.

Fatu goes back to Knight, Knight fires hands! Knight fires body shots and haymakers, then whips, but Fatu reverses! Knight ducks ‘n’ ddoges, but runs into the pop-up!

SUPERKICK on Royce! SUPERKICK again! And then SUPERKICK again! Royce flops against barriers, Jey DUMPS him over! The fans fire up, but then Knight WRECKS Jey with a dropkick! Knight goes back to the ring, but Fatu SUPERKICKS him! Fatu POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS Knight! Then Fatu goes up, up, and MIGHTIEST MOONSAULT! Cover, Fatu wins!

But then Solo goes after Fatu! Jimmy grabs the jacket, turns Solo around, and SUPERKICKS! SUPERKICKS! Jey joins in and SPEARS Solo down! But Royce is back to DOUBLE LARIAT The Usos! Fatu storms up and spins Royce around! They fire hands, former friends now enemies! Royce whips and SPINEBUSTERS Fatu down! But The Usos DOUBLE SUPERKICK! And then THE ONE D!! Knight fires hands on The Usos, but the TONGAN DEATH GRIP gets Knight!! Fatu sits Knight down, and Fatu lines up the shot! HIP ATTACK! Jimmy adds a HIP ATTACK! And then Fatu tops it off with one more HIP ATTACK!

Jimmy drags Knight into the drop zone, Jey goes up, USO SPLASH!! The fans are torn as The Bloodline piles Solo, Royce, and Knight at center. They raise their fingers to the sky, but will The Bloodline be the ones? Or can Solo, Royce, and Knight win out at SummerSlam?

My Thoughts:

A great Raw, though a lot of the fun was at the end with the main event. I did not think Solo Sikoa would make a play at Rollins joining the team, but it does make sense that someone would make the connection of Roman and Bloodline to Rollins and anti-Bloodline. Great stuff with Fatu winning and The Bloodline standing tall tonight. I also appreciate the blurring of lines on who is Face and who is Heel given how Solo’s been acting but also how we just saw Rollins troll New York by bringing Tyrese Haliburton to Madison Square Garden. This is perhaps WWE leaving it all up to the fans to decide on who they cheer and who they boo, even though most fans do that anyway.

Je’Von & Dragon VS Bron & Theory was outta nowhere but that was a great tag match. Naturally, The Vision used numbers to win out, and then we got Otis & Tozawa showing up. Clearly a tag title match will happen, and The Vision will cheat that win, too. Great tag match from Penta & Gable VS Ethan & Rusev, and naturally, Penta & Gable won as they’re both building momentum towards their title match at SummerSlam. Great stuff with Danhausen, Judgment Day, and Oba by proxy. It seems we’re not going back to Danhausen’s story with Miz, Kit Wilson & Matt Cardona yet, when they could/should be combining the stories. I think it’d be great to see the zombie Miz & Kit getting in the way of Judgment Day’s cheating, but at least Hendry got a win here tonight.

And very good promo from Paul Heyman to keep the hype up for Lesnar VS Oba. It didn’t really add heat because this feud has been pretty strong, even with the initial confusion from Lesnar’s not-retirement. I’m really curious what Heyman is gonna do should Lesnar truly retire after SummerSlam. Maybe Heyman can become a General Manager again given how Nick Aldis VS Gunther is officially on the SummerSlam card now.

My Score: 8.8/10
