#2 Should have avoided: The main event

The United States Championship was on the line this week and the match took place in the main event of the night. After a disappointing finish of the US Title match last week, Braun Strowman got a rematch, however, the scenario was similar this week as the match had a bizarre ending.

Since Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson were not present in the ring, we were expecting to see a fair match. Both AJ Styles and Strowman are exceptional performers and they delivered a good match. With the huge size of the Monster Among Men, he overpowered Styles but the Phenomenal One gave a tough fight. Although Strowman power slammed Styles, the referee was hurt during the match and he was down on the floor. Gallows & Anderson came out to decimate Strowman but the latter was caught with a steel chair as the referee disqualified him.

Following the ending last week, the US Championship match shouldn't have taken place on RAW this week. Strowman and Rollins will defend the RAW Tag Team Titles against Roode and Ziggler. Strowman will also challenge the Universal Championship. Judging by the scenario, the US Title and the Universal Title could be defended in a triple threat match at Clash of Champions and the winner might take home both titles.

#1 Got right: Sasha Banks made a huge statement after making her in-ring return

Sasha Banks had a huge week as she wrestled for the first time in four months. Her last match was at WrestleMania 35, where she lost the Women's Tag Team Titles along with Bayley. This week, Banks fought Natalya, who was assaulted by The Boss for two consecutive weeks.

Prior to the match, Natalya and Banks had a massive brawl as the latter cleared why she attacked Natalya and Becky Lynch. The four-time RAW Women's Champion dominated Natalya on RAW. The Queen of Harts submitted to a vicious Banks Statement from The Boss. It is clear that Banks will challenge Becky Lynch at Clash of Champions. Banks has been a great heel and the former RAW Women's Champion could be a potential candidate to dethrone The Man.
