It's the RAW after a PPV with a bad name, and I can't remember where it is. Also, I have to miss this week AGAIN thanks to work. Thankfully, I don't have to close next week so I will finally get back to my RAW-watching ways soon.
Anyhoo.
In what was probably the biggest disappointment of the year, a single F5 was all it took for Brock Lesnar to put away Samoa Joe. This means that Joe is likely out of the title picture, but a Monster may emerge to challenge the Beast Incarnate. Braun Strowman outsmarted Roman Reigns to win the Ambulance Match, and even managed to walk away after Reigns decided to wreck the ambulance afterwards. Is this a sign of what could await the Universal Champion? And how much hot water is the Big Dawg going to be in after his actions?
Alexa Bliss may have outsmarted Sasha Banks to retain the RAW Women's Championship, but Sasha has made it quite clear that she's not finished wi- sorry, I just heard someone yelling all the way from Texas so I can't finish that sentence. Anyway, Alexa's issues with Sasha are far from over, but will someone else make her presence known in the title picture?
The Hardys fell short of reclaiming their tag titles from The Bar (WHAT A NAME!) in their Iron Man Match, and so it would seem that Cesaro and Sheamus are freed up to face someone else. What team will step up?
Bray Wyatt won a match! But knowing Seth Rollins, this is likely not done. How will this feud get more odd?
The Titus Brand had a bad showing as Neville remains King Of The Crusierweights after besting Akira Tozawa. Is Tozawa going to let Neville move on to the next foe? And if he has no choice, who will step up?
Heath Slater won a PPV match! Will ANYTHING come of this?!
All this, plus we find out if the Ambrose/Miz feud is over, and we also find out what the hell happened to the other feuds, only on RAW, 8 Eastern, 7 Central, only on USA Network!

Think I'll watch just to see how they spin, "Roman lost a match clean then flipped the f*** out and tried to kill a man," into, "Roman's a valiant hero who deserves a title shot."

I'm guessing that the attempted murder charge and trial is what keeps Roman away from Summerslam. Don't worry, he'll plea down to attempted vehicular homicide and have those mega dad commercials be his community service so he is back in time for the Sept. show. Probably suspend him w/o pay until those are settled as well.
As for Brock, I could see them going giving Braun the shot based on what happened. Both to get the charges lowered and cementing a face turn for him as he batted Brock after all that happened.
I don't know what you do with Joe, off the card doesn't seem unlikely but as the fall guy in a three way with Brock and Braun doesn't seem unlikely either.

Given the rumors they're wanting to try and make SummerSlam just as big as Mania this year, I guess since they want to have that huge payday twice a year instead of just once which is an understandable if short-sighted gesture, I can't see any chance they leave Roman off the show. No real evidence he's a major draw who'd make or break the show's success, but they clearly think he is.

Roman: "There were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with an ambulance!" I've been meaning to talk to you, Roman. You may want to lay low for a while because you're probably wanted for murder.

You may want to lay low for a while because you're probably wanted for murder. This would probably the first time anyone wanted Roman, though. (...Where did Roman get his bulletproof vest? The toilet store?)

Brock vs Ambulance, obviously, it murked both Roman and Strowman last night and became the star of the show.

Expecting Kurt to punish Roman for his actions last night by not giving him the Universal title shot at Summerslam. It'll be Lesnar/Strowman instead, saving the Reigns match for Wrestlemania.
Which leaves Roman without a match for Summerslam. Enter Big Free Agent John. That's big enough to main event a Wrestlemania but this is the same company that had the first ever Cena/Batista match at Summersam with just a month of build when it should have been a lot bigger.

Honestly to me Cena / Reigns, be it Mania, SummerSlam, Clash of Champions, or what, just could not possibly be any less interesting a prospect to me. It doesn't sound like a good match and it sure as hell doesn't sound like a good feud.

Probably not, but I still want to see Cena show up and call Roman out for trying to murder a man, just for the sheer absurdity of it all.

I honestly think that they're going to do Joe/Lesnar II at SummerSlam. Doesn't seem like it's over between those two or Roman/Braun.

Brock loses but isn't directly pinned. Leaves until the end of the year to built to the Rumble, then vs Roman one on one at Mania.

Saw this on NoDQ via PWTorch: {Spoiler}Joe vs. Roman for #1 contender. Seth vs. Bray rematch.

Saw this on NoDQ via PWTorch: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Joe vs. Roman for #1 contender. Seth vs. Bray rematch. {Spoiler} But...they both lost. Shouldn't it be Braun vs. Bray for the No 1 contendership and Seth vs. Roman for a future one? And if you're making out something's going to be done about what happened with Roman, why REWARD him with a potential title shot?

Saw this on NoDQ via PWTorch: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Joe vs. Roman for #1 contender. Seth vs. Bray rematch. {Spoiler}{Spoiler} If this is true and happens, it makes absolutely zero sense since Roman not only lost but tried to murder a man. So... give him the number one contender spot and also probably beat Joe because f*** us and win??
If this happens dear lord it's gonna be hard to watch going forward...
