Keep Refreshing For The Latest Results

Hello there, WWE fans! It’s Monday evening, and that means it’s time for Raw! I’m Jeremy Thomas, and I’m filling in for Tony for the first 15 minutes or so while he HOPEFLLY DOESN’T GET IN A WRECK as he tries to get home. Anyway, we just had SummerSlam and we’re about to see some of the fallout from that. It’ll certainly be a show, so let’s get into it.

As a reminder, the GoFundMe for Larry’s daughters is still active and if you can make a donation, that would be awesome. Thank you so much to everyone who’s done so thus far.

PREVIOUSLY: We get a montage of the events from SummerSlam including RKBro’s Tag Team Title win, Charlotte winning the Raw Women’s Title, Damian Priest winning the US Title, Edge beating Rollins, Becky Lynch’s return, and Bobby Lashley beating Goldberg and then attacking his son accidentally. Oh yeah, and Roman Reigns beating John Cena before BRRRRROCK LLLLLESNAR returns and Heyman shits himself, then Lesnar destroys Cena.

We’re LIVE in San Diego, California.

* We start with Bobby Lashley coming out to the ring with MVP, looking as snazzy as ever. And…apparently we need to see more highlights of what we JUST saw? Everyone, take a drink because this may be a long night.

MVP asks for everyone’s attention so he can address the attack on Gage. He says that when Goldberg showed up on Raw a few weeks ago, they were shocked that he would show up and challenge Lashley. He said they all know about Goldberg’s history in the industry, but they also know about his recent not-so-extraordinary history. But either way he’s a WWE Hall of Famer and a powerhouse, which makes him a worthy challenger. They did not know he would show up with Gage, and he doesn’t know if Goldberg brought Gage for support or if he needed a distraction. He says Goldberg looked amazing when he showed up and says there were a few times when he backed Lashley up and scored a couple two counts, but that just made the All Mighty angry. And when he gets angry, he gets dangerous, and Goldberg found that out the hard way. MVP says only a few men have beaten Goldberg, but only one stopped him and that’s Lashley. He says Goldberg quit, and that makes him a coward.

The crowd chants for Goldberg amid the boos.

MVP says Lashley is still WWE Champion, but up next someone attacked Goldberg from behind like a coward. And Lashley did what he would do to anyone who attacked him from behind. He didn’t know who it was, but it didn’t matter because he’d do it to all of us, and anyone in this building. But he knows that won’t happen tonight, because they’re in San Diego and everyone there is a coward. So if anyone thinks that Lashley owes Goldberg or his son an apology? Lashley leans in and says “You can go to hell!”

Damian Priest’s music hits, and the US Champion comes out. Priest says he wants to get this straight: the two of them are running their mouths and calling Goldberg a coward because he got injured? He jumped Gage after the match, but Goldberg is the coward. He asks Lashley if that makes him feel big, and Lashley smiles. Priest calls Lashley a “mountain of shit” in Spanish (thanks Benjamin J!) and says he ain’t jumping Lashley from behind, and he’s not scared. He challenges Lashley to a match tonight. And to be clear, if Lashley doesn’t accept than he’s the coward. Lashley attacks and THE JACKET COMES OFF! But Priest fires back and delivers a big boot that sends the All Mighty out of the ring. MVP holds him back and says if Priest wants it, he’s got it. He says Lashley’s going to change and be right back.

CLAYMORE! Pin for 1..2….3!!!

Winners: Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest
You can’t deny that this was a hell of an opener, with Sheamus and Priest continuing the ass kicking they gave each other Saturday night. Like damn, they just ain’t holding back. Still, you get the sense of “more of the same,” even with Priest added to the trio of Sheamus, Drew, and Lashley.

Morrison and Miz bicker, saying he made the interview about Miz. Miz says all this water stuff has been about Morrison. He should have been fighting for titles, but he was too busy squirting people with water guns. Morrison brings up the injury, and they go back and forth like a married couple.

Drew invites Priest out for some pints.

Here you go!

Charlotte is here and you’re lucky I have to do this report, because I wanna mute the FUCK outta this iPad right now.

Charlotte counts her twelve times she won the title. She says there is no female that is close to the legacy that she will leave behind. She doesn’t need friends, family, and sure as hell doesn’t need us. All she needs, she has right with her.

Some shitty fireworks go off with her music long enough for her to hold her title up, then shuts back off, and she is back to talking.

She hopes everyone is listening. She started the first ever Women’s Evolution, and tonight she is starting a new one. So thank her now, thank her later, but don’t forget to bow, because she is the Queen, our Champion. Long Live The Queen.

Oh, but, Alexa I here with her doll. She just wanted to say hi.

BACKSTAGE, Shayna asks Nia if she wants to team with her or Charlotte. Nia says she was trying to get herself back into the title picture.

Nikki getting her ass handed to her the entire match is still an issue. With her literally hitting only a crossbody, it diminishes everything the character is trying to get across. Rhea and Shayna at the end there did well, but there was very little drama otherwise.

Backstage, Morrison says no more Miz and Morrison, MizTV, Dirt Sheets, Music Videos. It’s over. He’s ending this next week when he gets Miz in the ring.

AJ tells Riddle not to worry, because he got Riddle something – a phenomenal forearm to put across his face and wipe the stupid smile off it. He’s going to kick Riddle’s ass over and over until he gets the rematch.

Riddle says he beat him last week, but that was before RKBRO was back together. With Orton in his corner, he can do anything. He accepts AJ’s challenge, and he’s going to beat him with the RKBRO.
