It was the penultimate episode of Monday Night Raw ahead of Super Show-Down in Australia on October 6th, but it was interesting to see WWE pushing forward some of the matches that are set to take place at Super Show-Down in less than two weeks time.
WWE promoted a number of huge matches ahead of the show, including a Tag Team Championship match, which added to another exciting episode of the show, which leads into next week's go home episode next week.
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon were also in attendance this week on Raw, which saw Stephanie and Baron Corbin have their first confrontation which led to Corbin looking for backup to take on The Shield.

#3 Opening with a botch
This week's episode of Raw opened with The Shield who were later interrupted by Baron Corbin, who informed the unit that they would be taking on him and two partners of his choice later in the night.
Corbin was unable to pronounce Stephanie McMahon's name, which shows just how scared he seems to be of his boss, but later when Braun Strowman came out to interrupt the segment he referred to the show in Australia as just Super Show when it's actually called Super Show-Down.
All in all, it was a botchy opening to the penultimate episode of the show before Australia and considering the star power that was part of the segment, WWE would have expected much better.
#2 Rough landing for Dolph Ziggler
Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler defended their Raw Tag Team Championships against The Revival this week on Raw since it was The Revival who should have faced The B Team a few weeks ago on Raw, but Ziggler and McIntyre attacked them backstage and stole their spot.
Ziggler isn't a heavy star, which could be why he didn't expect Dash Wilder to drop him when he went for a routine Famousser. Ziggler and Dash recovered to continue the spot, but it was obvious that something went wrong since Dash stumbled and then fell whilst still holding Ziggler, but put him back on his shoulders to move on to the next spot with Scott Dawson.
Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler were able to retain their Tag Team Championships despite the small hiccup in the match.
#1 Rough night for Liv Morgan
WWE promoted a singles match between Brie Bella and Ruby Riott ahead of this week's Raw, but instead, it was a six-woman tag match that took place on Raw and Liv Morgan's team may have won the match but she came out of it much worse than when she went in.
Morgan was legitimately struck in the head by the fourth Yes Kick by Brie Bella in the opening minutes of the match, where she was knocked out. Brie then dragged her over to the corner where she informed Riott and Logan that Liv was out before she was then helped out of the ring.
Liv came in to be part of a six-person suplex in the middle of the match but then played no further part after it was made clear that she was injured from that spot.
