Night Raw
Date: August 1, 2016
Location: Phillips Arena, Atlanta, Georgia
Commentators: Michael Cole, Byron Saxton, Corey Graves
Opening sequence.
Enzo Amore/Sasha Banks vs. Chris Jericho/Charlotte
Post match Enzo takes a Codebreaker but Big Cass comes down for the save.
Braun Strowman vs. Evan Anderhold
Golden Truth is still looking for Pokemon but Goldust thinks they should focus on their match instead.
Golden Truth vs. Shining Stars
Goldust and Primo start things off as Truth is still playing Pokemon Go on the apron. Graves mistakenly says Truth is playing inside the ring as Goldust gets in a powerslam to change control. Truth has apparently caught a Pokemon and misses a tag. On top of that he drops his phone and actually goes out to get it as Goldust is waiting for a tag. Epico grabs a sunset flip for the pin at 2:00. Cole: “Pokemon no for Golden Truth tonight.”
Truth finds another Pokemon post match.
US Title: Mark Henry vs. Rusev
Video on Nia Jax.
Nia Jax vs. Ariel Monroe
Sami is ready to face Rollins tonight.
New Day vs. Gallows and Anderson
Post match the brawl is on with Woods coming out, only to have New Day get destroyed and left laying. Big E. is crotched against the post to really hammer the point home.
Cesaro vs. Sheamus
Jinder Mahal vs. Heath Slater
Mahal kicks him in the face for the pin at 14 seconds.
We look back at the mixed tag.
Sami Zayn vs. Seth Rollins
Puff Daddy guest stars next week.
The opening gave me some hope that they really were mixing it up but then a match was lost due to Pokemon, Jinder Mahal was back, Rusev squashed Mark Henry AGAIN, a champion got pinned and we were supposed to be excited about a match taking place on this show for the first time ever. Oh and Smackdown invaded. Welcome to the new era.
