This week's Raw had a lot to follow given the amount of surprises that took place on last week's. We still got what we expected which was The Shield retaliating, Triple H addressing the Undertaker and more Raw Tag Team Title developments
However, there were once again some absolutely unexpected events that took place on this week's episode that no-one, and I mean no-one saw coming! It seems that this current Shield storyline has allowed the WWE to take Monday Night Raw in many different directions.
Hopefully the WWE can keep these surprises coming as their shows are at their best when they can shock the audience. The surprises weren't just Shield related though, find out what they were as we bring you the 3 bonkers surprises from Raw we've never have guessed would happen!
#1. Mick Foley
The returning WWE legend, Mick Foley making an appearance on Raw wasn't a huge surprise at all. The WWE announced it last week, so none of us were shocked when he made his way to the ring.
However it was a shock to see him be the one to interrupt Elias this week, as it seems the WWE now has a thing for having returning former icons like Foley and Stratus interrupt the 'Drifter' mid-song.
What was also shocking however was what Mick Foley had to say! As he announced that he would be part of this year's Hell in a Cell match, 20 years after being infamously thrown off the structure.
And to make things even better, Foley announced that he'll be the special guest referee for the Braun Strowman vs Roman Reigns Universal Title match. Meaning that for the first time ever we're probably going to see a referee get thrown off of the cell.
#2. Kevin Owens reveals why he returned
Kevin Owens returned just one week after quitting and this week he finally revealed why after beating Tyler Breeze in singles action with the same Apron Powerbomb he used to put Lashley down with.
Owens delivered an impassioned promo after the match revealing both his motivations for returning after quitting, and more importantly, why he went after Bobby Lashley of all people on last week's show.
Let's start with why he came back first! Owens returned because Acting General Manager Baron Corbin brought him back. He then revealed that he attacked The Shield because he's as tired of the team as everyone else is.
So why attack Lashley? It was Lashley's fault he quit because Lashley injured Sami Zayn. Owens then promised to bring anarchy, agony and destruction over the coming weeks on Monday Night Raw. Owens is back!
#3. Roman Reigns puts Braun Strowman through the stage
This is the kind of spot you'd usually see Braun Strowman doing so the real surprise here is that 'The Big Dog' was the one to cause an event of destruction to end an episode of Monday Night Raw.
We knew something big was building between Reigns and 'The Monster Among Men' as Strowman had been hunting for the Universal Champion backstage, threatening many an ordinary sized crew member.
And boy did we get it. Strowman took to the ring to call out Reigns and then threatened to make Foley's injuries 20 years ago look like papercuts. Naturally this brought out Reigns, a brawl ensued and then Reigns got the upper hand this time!
