WWE Monday Night RAW Matches' Results and Highlights: Ronda Rousey Wins Debut Match; Roman Reigns Defeats Baron Corbin
Kurt Angle praised Ronda Rousey’s intent to fight (indirectly taunts Brock Lesnar towards his UFC inclination) in the ring and propped her debut match, later in the night.
The latest episode of Monday Night RAW, on August 6, began with General Manager Kurt Angle propping Ronda Rousey’s debut match. Angle praised Ronda’s intent to fight (indirectly taunts Brock Lesnar towards his UFC inclination) in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) ring. Just as when Angle was to make an announcement, Roman Reigns entered.
The Big Dog was quite abrasive of the fact that he was suspended last week and it is because of that, Lesnar ran amok and made a mockery of the show. Baron Corbin who was accompanying Kurt Angle got into a heated argument with Reigns, which saw Angle making the match between the two superstars there and then.
Reigns had the upper hand in the match, and his victory seemed quite imminent. However, Corbin rolled out of the ring and retreated backstage. Finn Balor, who lost to Corbin last week appeared on the ramp which forced Corbin to return to the ring. Reigns hit his finishing move ‘Spear’ on Corbin for the win.
The build-up to WWE’s next pay-per-view (PPV) Summerslam was quite fantastic too. Storylines concerning Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley, and The Riot Squad saw excellent momentum in them ahead of WWE’s biggest show of the summer.
