It's been over three years since Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns were united as one. By the end of this first Raw of October, The Shield teased their reunion. That's about as big of a highlight WWE could've pulled off, so kudos to them for the crowd-pleasing moment. As for the rest of the three hours, this Raw was a mixed bag.

Sasha Banks' mouth was evidence of the biggest botch of the night. A stiff strike caused her to bleed a little, although not nearly as bad as the mouth injury from Raw just one week prior. Other odd moments that deserved pointing out include a peculiar Jinder Mahal sign from the front row, a glaring storyline inconsistency regarding the Raw Women's Champion and her friends, and an awkward bounce off the ropes from Alicia Fox.

Kicking off the list is a standout insult from the Smacktalker Skywalker, Enzo Amore.


#5 Bloody Sasha

"Sasha Banks may need to call Cesaro's dentist!"

Corey Graves said the above quote during the Sasha Banks & Bayley vs. Emma & Alicia Fox tag team match. It was an exaggeration for sure, but still a noticeable bit of blood. The Boss took an unidentified stiff shot in the mouth but it was nowhere near as gruesome of an injury as what The Swiss Superman endured last week.

It was unclear what specifically caused Banks' mouth to become noticeably bloody but she was seen several times before this checking herself for injury. She continued on in this contest even though she was aware of her situation. Even with her dental calamity, Sasha Banks and Bayley emerged victorious thanks in part to Emma walking out on her partner.
