After 3 really bad shows in a row, Monday Night Raw looks to bounce back with only two weeks left until wrestlemania backlash.
GOOD: Monday Night Raw started off with Sonya Deville, MVP and Adam Pearce. They’re trying to decide if Lashley would face Braun Strowman or Drew Mcintyre. Adam Pearce pulls out a coin to decide but before he was able to flip it MVP needed to check it first to see if it was not rigged. Drew Mcintyre walks in and asks MVP if Lashley is not concerned why would you be checking the coin. MVP then states that Lashley’s not concerned but it’s MVP’s job to be concerned for Lashley. Braun Strowman then walks in and Drew and Strowman get into an argument but Pearce defuses the situation and flips the coin and it’s Bobby Lashley vs Braun Strowman in the main event of this show.
GOOD: AJ Styles and Omos returned next and they talked about there recent victory at Wrestlemania against The New Day for the tag team titles. Styles then talks about the reason why Omos and him were off TV for 3 weeks and the reason was because they were off partying. AJ mentions that they had better things to do than throwing food. Styles mentioned that he’s a grandslam champion and it only took him 5 years to do it. New Day interrupted the tag team champions and Xavier Woods said that they did make an impact in the tag division. Kofi Kingston then talked about how they never take breaks unlike Styles and Omos. They said that there’s a reason why they’re 11 times champions. Omos interrupted The New Day and he said that they’re fools.
GOOD: AJ Styles and Omos retained the tag team championships against The New Day in a really good match.
