The week's edition of WWE Monday Night Raw happened in Toronto, Ontario. WWE hyped this episode with MITB holder Braun Strowman who challenged the current Universal Champion Roman Reigns to face him one on one without his Shield brothers.

Last week Strowman tried to cash in his MITB on Roman Reigns after his fight with Finn Balor, and surprisingly Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins came out to save their friend from Strowman.

Although we didn't get to see a match between Strowman and Reigns this week, we saw an epic bout between two of the best performers in the WWE.

Today, in this article, we will take a look at 3 best things that happened on Monday Night Raw - 28 August 2018.


#3 Return of Trish Stratus

Just like every week, Elias dissed the crowd, but this time Trish Stratus interrupted him.

Elias said it's a nice change for her to come and be in the ring with him instead of changing diapers at home.

Trish told him she likes his music but anytime he opens his mouth about her hometown, then she will ask him to shut it up.

She asked him to pack his guitar and walk out of the ring. Elias then replied that she only came out to walk with him, like thousands of other women out there, but he doesn't date women in their 60's. After listening to this, Stratus slapped him to end this segment.

She returned to hype her match against Alexa Bliss. She is going to face "The Goddess" at the Evolution pay-per-view this year.


#2 Kevin Owens vs Seth Rollins for the Intercontinental Championship

This week Seth Rollins issued an open challenge for the Intercontinental Title, and Kevin Owens answered the call.

Kevin committed to not leaving Toronto without the title. The match began, and Kevin Owens surprised the fans with his amazing performance.

We saw many near falls in the match-up, and at one point Owens gave a Stunner to Rollins as well.

Everything about this match was good, but after the match, Kevin left the fans confused when he said; "I quit".

Is he going to take a leave, or something else?

Earlier that night, Roman Reigns issued an open challenge for the Universal Title, and this time Strowman answered it.

Reigns asked him to cash in his briefcase, but Strowman refused him by saying that he will cash in his Money in the Bank contract at Hell In A Cell.

After that, Dolph and Drew interrupted both wrestlers and challenged them to a match. Acting General Manager Baron Corbin booked this match as the main event, and he then challenged Finn Balor to a match as well.

During the main event of the show, Dolph and Drew dominated Reigns. Finally, Reigns gave a Superman Punch to Ziggler and tagged Strowman in.

Strowman didn't get inside the ring, and McIntyre and Ziggler continued to punish Reigns. Then the referee ended the match in a DQ.

Strowman, Ziggler, and McIntyre started to punish Reigns until Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins came to the ring to rescue their friend, but they were destroyed by the opponents as well.

This is possibly a heel turn by Strowman, and it was very surprising for the fans.
