It was a great episode of Monday Night RAW this week. After delivering an action-packed episode last week, the anticipation was high this week and WWE didn't let down the fans. Since Paul Heyman is the new Executive Director of the red brand, we saw a visible effect this week.
The flagship opened with a spectacular match between Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman. The bout ended in No Contest and both men were taken to a medical facility. Maria Kanellis and Mike Kanellis faced Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch in a Mixed Tag Team Match but the champions picked up an easy victory. Lacey Evans defeated Natalya after a distraction from Baron Corbin.
The Undertaker delivered a fierce segment, while Nikki Cross pinned Carmella. Samoa Joe and the Viking Raiders teamed up to defeat the New Day, moreover, the 24/7 Title changed hands as Drake Maverick pinned R-Truth. Ricochet pinned AJ Styles in the main event and the latter turned heel.
It was an entertaining episode with some stupendous bouts and segments. Here we discuss three things WWE made clear on the RAW this week.
#3 Nikki Cross is likely to get a big push
Nikki Cross has been enjoying a fruitful run in the past two weeks. While Cross pinned the SmackDown Women's Champion last week, she defeated the former Women's Champion Carmella on RAW this week. Earlier, Alexa Bliss got pinned by the Princess of Staten Island but Cross managed to avenge the loss for Bliss.
After the association with Bliss, Cross has certainly given up her crazy persona. There is no denying that Cross is highly talented and she has rejuvenated her character in the last few weeks. Judging by the scenario, Cross is likely to get a deserving push.
Following the victory on RAW, Cross was asked for an interview but Bliss refused to give an interview. The company probably hinted at cracks in this friendship and the Goddess is definitely envious of Cross's recent success. Considering the track record of Alexa Bliss, she could turn on Cross soon. A betrayal could lead to an impressive rivalry between the two women.
