Grading each match on Raw this week (10 September 2018)

#6 Ronda Rousey & Natalya vs Alexa Bliss & Mickie James (w/Alicia Fox)

'The Baddest Woman on the Planet' was in action on Raw this week.

Result: Ronda Rousey & Natalya defeated Mickie James via submission with the Armbar. Alexa Bliss then hit Ronda Rousey with a cheap shot after the match.

Grade: B

Analysis: Ronda Rousey continued her run of great performances. All 4 women brought their A game. It was nice to see Ronda Rousey sell for Mickie James & Alexa Bliss (especially since she has dominated against Bliss & James in the past). They continued to target the ribs of Ronda (after last week's attack).

It will be interesting to see if this will provide an opening for Alexa Bliss to take the advantage at Hell in a Cell. This was a really good match that was one of Raw's better matches of the night. It was also really cool to see Rousey & Natalya hit the Hart Attack.

#7 Finn Balor vs Elias

This was the last match of the night.

Result: Finn Balor defeated Elias via pinfall with a small package.

Grade: B+

Analysis: It was nice to see Elias compete on Monday Night Raw (seriously, most of the time, he just delivers promos). It is ridiculous that both competitors don't have a match at Hell in a Cell, so it is nice to see WWE give both talented superstars an opportunity. While the match was unspectacular, it was still a great match.

Elias looked great as he dominated most of the match and he only lost because Balor was able to use his wrestling expertise to counter the Drift Away into a roll up. However, it would have been nice to see Finn Balor get a definitive win over someone on Raw this week.
