5 must see moments from WWE Raw (May 22nd, 2017)

Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins faced off against Bray Wyatt & Samoa Joe in Raw this week

#3 Calculating the disqualification

During Dean Ambrose’s match against the Raw-debuting Elias Samson, his Intercontinental rival and his wife sat on commentary. It should’ve been obvious that The Miz would find a way to cause a disturbance. What he eventually ended doing was downright clever.

The Miz entered the ring late into this match and paused before what appeared to be an attack on the IC Champion. After thinking about it for a second, he realised he could mess with Dean psychologically if he instead struck The Drifter. He simply dropped the double axe handle softly onto Elias’ back. It was just enough to stop the match but not nearly enough to seem like an act of assault.

This was brilliant because instead of giving Ambrose a beating, he gave him something far worse: a loss. This should fuel Dean’s anger as they head into Extreme Rules.
