WWE Raw: 5 shocking moments from this week’s episode (August 5, 2019)

#2 Another surprise attack

Last week on SmackDown, Roman Reigns was at the center of what seemed like a deliberate surprise attack which left many fans shocked. While WWE could have done a better job at selling the attack, they made things worse on social media by terming it a ‘forklift accident’ and slowly building on it in the days to come.

This week on Raw, they tried to make things real again by inserting Samoa Joe in the picture, who was seen as the prime suspect by the fans. However, another surprise attack on Roman Reigns in the presence of Joe has now wiped his slate clean.

It’s shocking to see that WWE is going back to the pre-PG era as soon as Heyman has returned and booking some segments like they used to do in the late 90s and early 2000s.

With Joe’s name cleared up, things are now much more interesting and we could find out who wants to end Reigns for good in this week’s episode of SmackDown Live.
