WWE RAW - Best and Worst - Jey Uso loses but not because of Solo; legendary star's final appearance?

Tonight's episode of WWE RAW was a productive one, with several big moments throughout its two-hour length. It's been a massive improvement over the past two weeks, with a solid blend of in-ring action and impactful segments.

There were developments with implications for next Monday's show, Crown Jewel, and even Survivor Series. A huge step in the right direction. So, with that in mind, let's look at the biggest positives and negatives from the first WWE RAW since Samantha Irvin's sudden departure.

#3. Best: The Wyatts are back on WWE RAW

The Wyatt Sicks are finally back on WWE RAW, with some new targets. It had been too long since we last saw them. Uncle Howdy's crew is going after The Final Testament and a brawl kicked off in the middle of an attack on R-Truth.

The Miz cowered in the middle of the ring, avoiding any part of the Wyatts until Howdy showed up. The A-Lister escaped unscathed after Paul Ellering sacrificed himself in what seemed like a way to write him off for good. This was a solid start to a program that would only make Karrion Kross and his faction more interesting.

Xavier Woods' subtle heel turn tease during the beatdown of R-Truth was also well done. It will be interesting to see what's next for him and Kofi Kingston ahead of the triple threat tag team match on next week's WWE RAW.

#2. Worst: Not a very good bodyguard

It looks like Liv Morgan's decision to hire Raquel Rodriguez as her bodyguard has been a flop. There's no other way to put it after seeing how Rhea Ripley has broached her every week on WWE RAW. Raquel isn't doing her job at all.

Mami did so again tonight, easily taking care of Rodriguez before getting to Morgan. Ripley got the better of the Women's World Champion again until Dominik Mysterio stopped a Riptide attempt.

It was the exact same spot from over two months ago. Please, let this rivalry end soon! Hopefully, Liv Morgan's interactions with IYO SKY on WWE RAW lead to a title feud between the two.

#2. Best: A show-long brawl

The issue between Seth Rollins and Bronson Reed was one of the best things on WWE RAW. The two began brawling as soon as the show kicked off, as multiple security guards got flung all over the place.

Rollins avoided what would have been a catastrophic Tsunami through the announce table before he and Reed continued their fight backstage. Every time one of them went to Adam Pearce to talk about it, the other would come out of nowhere.

This is the kind of carnage that makes WWE RAW such a fun show. It eventually led to Pearce snapping and booking Seth Rollins vs. Bronson Reed for Crown Jewel. The entire brawl was a fun way to get to that stage.

#1. Best/Worst: Reunion incoming, but at what cost?

WWE RAW ended with a huge title change, as Bron Breakker once again became the Intercontinental Champion. He defeated Jey Uso, who just wouldn't be left alone by his family. This was completely disheartening, with The YEET Master's first singles title reign ending at just 28 days.

However, let's not forget how good the match that came before was, despite the gut-wrenching outcome. Breakker and Uso had another great showing against one another until The Bloodline showed up.

While Solo Sikoa first tried to "reason" with Jey Uso, things broke down after he was accidentally speared. Bron Breakker and Jacob Fatu had an intense face-off as well, with the latter ultimately costing Main Event Jey his IC Title.

As sad as it is to see him lose the championship, this is now the ultimate reason why Jey Uso will reunite with Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns. He'll want to avenge this loss, with forgiveness being the only way forward.
