Coming out of SummerSlam, it was obvious that WWE was rebootingin some respects, going in new directions for several titles and stables. Rawprovided the first opportunity to explore some of the fallout from last weekend’sPLE. The implosion of the Judgment Day was easily the biggeststory on the Raw side of things, with Dominik Mysterio siding with Liv Morganto help her retain the Women’s World Championship over Rhea Ripley, and then FinnBalor betraying Damian Priest, costing him his World Heavyweight Championship.
Priestand Ripley would have their own mini-Mega Powers meet-up Monday night to pushback on their former stablemates. New World Heavyweight Champion Gunther learned who his firstchallenger will be, while CM Punk and Drew McIntyre continued their feud. SethRollins got laid out by an unlikely foe.
The women’s division continues to be amess of sorts, with a lot of activity, but very little of it any good. And theNew Day finally got some backup against the Final Testament. Lastly, the Wyatt Sick6 stepped out of the shadows and intothe ring for the first time.
Opinions are going to vary, but this wasn’t a baddebut. Their first match, along with much of everything on Raw, was helped tremendouslyby a hot crowd that popped for everything. Let’s get to it.
