This week's WWE Raw came to us from Manchester, England. Raw began with the entire roster standing on the ramp, and with Corbin in the ring with security guards around the ring, most probably to protect Corbin from Strowman.

Corbin announced 3 members of the men's Survivor Series Raw team, and the three men were - Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre, and Dolph Ziggler. He also announced that the women's Raw team would be captained by Alexa Bliss.

On this episode of Raw, we saw the initial build-up of Survivor Series. I must say that this episode left a lot to be desired, with Survivor Series just two weeks away I expected that WWE would make this episode of Raw more eventful and develop the storylines more efficiently, but the build was not very good.

But it was not all bad, as it had its fill of some good moments as well. In this article, I list the 3 best things that happened on Raw this week.


#3 Ronda Rousey's promo

Rousey vs Lynch will be an epic match

The promo from Ronda Rousey was excellent, her promo skills have improved drastically. Rumours are that she has been getting promo classes from one of the greatest promo cutters in WWE - Paul Heyman.

Rousey brought the fire and fury during her promo. Even though the crowd chanted for Becky Lynch, Rousey cut a promo on how she was training for the Olympics as Lynch went to clown school. The promo was cut with great passion.

I will love to see how Becky will respond to Rousey's comments this Tuesday on SmackDown. The match between Rousey and Lynch at Survivor Series will definitely be awesome. The best thing about Ronda is that she is a legitimate ass kicker, and her matches in the UFC prove it.

#2 New tag team champions are crowned

Finally, we get to see the AOP as champions

Ambrose and Rollins won the tag team championships from McIntyre and Ziggler, but Ambrose turned heel, and since then he and Rollins have gone their separate ways. Due to that, the credibility of the tag team championships was reduced as there was no storyline around the tag championships.

This week on Raw The Authors Of Pain defeated Rollins in a handicap match for the tag team championships. I love the fact that we finally will see a storyline around the tag championships. Also, The Authors Of Pain finally got the push they deserve.

We have seen the amazing performances of AOP on NXT, and we can be sure that we will get to see some amazing matches for the tag team championships. WWE could make AOP a monstrous team if booked properly, and we could see some great rivalries against teams like The Revival, as well as Bobby Roode and Chad Gable.

#1 Rollins and Ambrose's rivalry

Turning Ambrose heel was a great decision by WWE. His current run as a heel is really entertaining and intriguing. I like the fact that Ambrose comes in through the crowd, stalks Rollins, and beats the hell out of him every week.

This week Ambrose attacked Rollins when The Architect lost the tag team titles match against Authors Of Pain in a handicap match. AOP had completely destroyed Rollins, and left him bruised on the mat. After the match, Ambrose came and delivered a dirty deeds to Rollins.

This week also, Ambrose didn't explain his actions, and I like that he didn't, as this creates a mystery and makes the fans much more interested in this rivalry.

When these two men have a match, they are going to tear the house down, and I cannot wait for that match.
