This week’s Raw was a stellar show. From the beginning till the end, the episode was packed. It was the go-home episode before Bash in Berlin, and WWE went all out with the progressions. Along with the progression, it also had key moments for major feuds on the Red Brand moving forward.
The show had its ups and downs in between. It featured megastars like CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, and even Drew McIntyre on the show. The heavy-hitting match between Bronson Reed and Braun Strowman was pure havoc. In fact, the main event was the in-ring debut of Uncle Howdy, which made it an important episode.
Here are key takeaways from this week’s Raw:
Bronson Reed and Braun Strowman went toe to toe this week on Raw. The behemoths had an impressive clash. However, things became wild when the two stars turned this match into a brawl. They went to the backstage area, causing mayhem all over the parking lot.
In the end, Big Bronson pulled out a terrifying ‘Tsunami’ on the Monster Among Men on top of a car. It destroyed Strowman, and even Reed took some toll of it. However, he refused to take any medical attention following the brawl. It was another tough showing from the 36-year-old after being on a destruction spree. His wreckage seems to have no end, and this week’s Raw solidified it.
The number-contender tournament for the Intercontinental Championship kicked off on Raw. Fans saw two triple-threat matches with two huge stars emerging as victorious. One was Jey Uso, and the other was Pete Dunne. Both stars qualified for the next stage, and WWE announced two more triple-threat matches in the tournament.
The scheduled opportunity for the championship is expected to take place at Bad Blood in Atlanta. One more thing that needs to be noted is that Bron Breakker also had an epic promo backstage. He tried to sway the confidence of Main Event Jey with some harsh words. Besides, the title picture looks pretty stacked at the moment with such huge stars.
Uncle Howdy returned to WWE in June this year. He has been regularly on television ever since. This week on Raw, he had a singles match with Chad Gable. After being at loggerheads for months, they collided in an epic battle where Howdy came out as the winner.
Throughout the match, there were major callbacks to Bray Wyatt, who passed away a year ago. Bo Dallas, who is portraying the horrifying character, maintained the persona as well as kept up with the wrestling skills. It was a pretty dominating debut that makes it interesting to see the future of Uncle Howdy.
