The final RAW episode before Night of Champions had a few big moments, but Vince Russo panned the show and hilariously claimed that he even lost a bit of hair during the three-hour broadcast!
The WWE roster will fly to Saudi Arabia for a stacked PLE featuring seven matches. The go-home episodes of RAW and SmackDown have historically meant a lot for the company.
The creative team is often compelled to pack the shows with angles that will increase the anticipation for a Premium Live Event, but they seemed to have missed the mark this time around, according to Vince Russo.
RAW was so underwhelming for the former WWE writer that he noticed his hairline receding! If you don't believe us, Russo even took his cap off during Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW to comically prove his point while also honestly revealing his thoughts about the Red brand, as you can view below:
"This show was so bad; I lost my hair. Bro, this happened during the show. This show was so bad that my hair started falling out. Like, I'm sitting on the couch, I'm rubbing my fingers through my hair, and my hair is falling out because my hair doesn't want to watch the show. My hair is falling out of my head, bro, during this show!" [17:50 – 18:30]
What happened on the go-home RAW for WWE Night of Champions?
Triple H chose to kick off WWE's Monday Night offering little difference this week, as Brock Lesnar brutally attacked Cody Rhodes and injured the American Nightmare's arm.
The first in-ring segment of the evening saw Paul Heyman getting chased out before Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn cut promos ahead of their match against Imperium.
The attention shifted to the wrestling as Bronson Reed picked up a win over Ricochet. A backstage segment involving Rhea Ripley and Dominik followed as fans observed a very interesting moment from the interview with Cathy Kelly.
WWE also aired another part of Seth Rollins' sit-down chat with Corey Graves before Zoey Stark and Candice LeRae had a singles match.
An incredibly rare Brock Lesnar moment featuring Mustafa Ali sent the internet into meltdown before The Beast Incarnate came out to taunt Cody Rhodes in the squared circle. The former Universal Champion punished Rhodes and locked in the Kimura, inflicting more damage on the latter's injured hand.
Fans were treated to three more matches until Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch had a contract-signing segment. One of the surprising outcomes of the night saw Dominik defeat the recently called-up Apollo Crews. We finally got to the main event as the Undisputed Tag Team Champions, and Riddle handed Gunther's faction another loss.
That wasn't all, as WWE closed out RAW with a fascinating locker room exchange between Cody Rhodes and Triple H.
