#5 WWE RAW kicked off with a big tag team match after SummerSlam
MVP and the WWE Champion Bobby Lashley were the first men to come out on RAW after SummerSlam.
At SummerSlam, Lashley injured Goldberg to win the match and then punished Gage Goldberg to draw more heat towards himself.
On RAW, MVP claimed that Lashley had no idea that Gage jumped him from behind at SummerSlam and said The All Mighty would have done the same thing to anyone else.
The two men were interrupted by the new United States Champion Damian Priest. The Archer of Infamy called the two superstars out for insulting Goldberg and the WWE Universe before challenging Lashley to a match.
Lashley attacked Priest, but the United States Champion fired back. The match between the two heavyweights took place on RAW and Lashley dominated early.
Priest fired back with a few strikes of his own before Sheamus came in to cause a disqualification. Drew McIntyre ran in to make the save, leading to a tag team match.
McIntyre and Priest controlled the match for some time and punished The Celtic Warrior. Lashley showed his strength by sending Priest headfirst into the ring post twice to weaken him.
The two teams exchanged some excellent moves before McIntyre dominated Lashley for some time. The All Mighty left Sheamus on his own in the ring, allowing McIntyre to hit the Claymore for the win.
RAW needed a big match to kick things off after SummerSlam. The creative team did well to build this tag team match early to get the party started. Sheamus and Priest both seem to have their eyes on the WWE Championship. It will be interesting to see who becomes Lashley’s first challenger after Goldberg.
