5 things that went right in the last episode of RAW

RAW was decent at it's best. It had its fair shares of ups and downs but made for a good feast heading into new storylines, face turns and feuds. The Canadian audience were popping throughout the show. "You Suck" during Roman Reigns' segment in the starting part of the show was amazing and quite surprisingly Braun Strowman being booed after putting down The Shield was a surprise.

Let's discuss what went right in the recently concluded episode of RAW.

Baron Corbin as GM

I have been rooting for this ever since Kurt Angle left for vacation. Baron Corbin is an incredible wrestler but his constable gimmick seems to be doing him more good than harm. Corbin has established himself as someone who is willing to break some rules just so the show can run on his whims and fancy.

There were some nice matches involved and while this has nothing to do with Baron Corbin being the GM, it sure did make some difference when he was portrayed as the face who decided these matches. Baron Corbin should continue this run.

Intercontinental Title Match

Seth Rollins retains the Intercontinental Championship

I was against Kevin Owens making a return after being manhandled by Braun Strowman in the recently concluded SummerSlam. While I was scared where Kevin Owens will go from here, KO has found a perfect way to fit himself in a new storyline.

Coming to the match, Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens gave one of the best performances of RAW in recent times. After addressing the audience, and receiving a great reaction from the crowd, Kevin Owens managed to make the audience go against him. The match that followed was breathtaking and had every bit of the main event written all over it. Seth Rollins, however, won the match to retain the title, the fact that Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre are out of the picture is welcoming. As for Kevin Owens, one will hope that these two wrestlers continue their feud and treat the crowd with breathtaking sequences.

The Shield faces the wrath of Ziggler, Drew and Braun Strowman

Obviously, the move has been made to bring The Shield in a lighter picture but the monster among men needed somebody by his side. There was a hint of a heel turn from the babyface monster who received boos from the audience as the trio demolished The Shield, I certainly hope that the two groups are going in the right direction. Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose garnering love from everybody will ultimately give a soft side for Roman Reigns and with Braun Strowman turning heel, expect some cheers for The Big Dog.

Kevin Owens' "I Quit" storyline

Kevin Owens addressed the audience after failing to capture the Intercontinental title from Seth Rollins. He mentioned how this hasn't been a dream run for him at the red brand. I think Kevin Owens quitting is a good direction that WWE is taking. The fact that the Braun Strowman arc was nothing but to keep the monster busy so Roman Reigns and Brock Lesner could finish their business. Now that Brock Lesner is gone and Strowman is back in the Championship line, there is hardly anything left for Kevin Owens.

There is a multitude of directions, WWE could take from here to reinvent Kevin Owens from here.

Bobby Lashley and his inimitable run

Bobby Lashley

After feuding with Sami Zayn, Bobby Lashley has received immense support from the WWE Universe. The wrestler is working really hard to come back in the picture as the favorite he once was. The spears are back, and he has been booked as the strong dominant wrestler that he is. Lashley may not be in the Championship belt storyline and might not have a storyline involving a feud with anybody but he is certainly still impressing everybody.

The 2 on 1 handicap match against The Ascension was a great match and one hopes to see Bobby Lashley be involved in better matches until he finds a good storyline to stick to.
