One of the biggest matches on this week’s RAW featured United States Champion AJ Styles, Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, RAW Tag Team Champion Robert Roode, Rey Mysterio, and Ricochet go head to head for the number one contender’s spot. The winner would face Seth Rollins for his Universal Championship next week on RAW's season premier.
The Fatal 5-Way Elimination Match had an incredible amount of action. In the end, Rey Mysterio was declared the winner.
While Nakamura pinning Ricochet, and Roode taking out AJ Styles were both a bit questionable, the final result was near perfection. Rey Mysterio once again earned the opportunity to rise to the very top of RAW, where he will face Seth Rollins for the right to be called the Red Brand's top babyface.
With Mysterio winning and progressing to the Universal Championship match, he has managed to unlock a world of opportunities for himself and his son Dominic. Those should be revealed in the near future.
