World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has moved on from this month’s SummerSlam and have started preparing and building new storylines for September’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view event and the Monday night WWE Raw episode was the first step in that direction. It was a chaotic night in the WWE universe as two title matches – United States Championship and Raw Tag Team Championship – headlined the show. However, much to fans expectations, no titles changed hands.
The show started with WWE champion Bobby Lashley, who wants to become a double champion by answering and winning Damian Priest’s United States Championship open challenge. Even though Lashley’s wish to take on Priest was not fulfilled, he had a successful outing as he teamed up with MVP to take on Raw tag champions Riddle and Randy Orton in the main event.
