This week's RAW was live from Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center with Cole, Renee, and Graves on commentary. While some moments were to be expected such as the Dogs of War kicking off the show, and Dean not coming out with his brothers, the rest of the show completely shocked the fans. In this article, we take a look at moments from this week's RAW results that nobody except those working in the WWE could have predicted.
#3. Seth Rollins defeated Drew McIntyre
Since his return to the WWE, Drew McIntyre has been one of the most protected superstars and has not lost in a singles match in nearly 11 months. That could be one of the reasons why the Monster among Men chose to ally himself with him and Dolph. On this week's RAW, McIntyre put his winning streak on the line as he faced the architect to determine who would qualify for the WWE World Cup. The WWE has been getting a lot of bad press, particularly on Twitter, about how all their world cup participants are all American which has robbed it of a world cup like feel.
With that in mind, what many fans expected was that Drew would continue to look impressive in the ring and the WWE World Cup would get its first international participant.
This match proved to be full of surprises as Dean Ambrose would help Seth Rollins win and Drew lost via count out. At the end of the fight, the two Shield brothers stood tall in the middle of the ring while Dolph and Drew looked on dejectedly from ringside.
#2. Ronda Rousey's pipe bomb
Following the brutal assault by the Bella twins on last week's episode of RAW, Ronda Rousey called them out to see what caused the crack in their friendship. While Ronda's in-ring ability seems to grow by leaps and bounds in each match she competes in, her mic work constantly needed improving.
This week, the Bellas tried their best to rile up Ronda Rousey, but she was a step ahead of them throughout the segment. For a moment it actually felt like Paul Heyman had been giving her lessons. While the Bellas tried to rely on nostalgia to bring fans on their side, all Ronda had to do was mention Judo, UFC, and Strikeforce. Several moments during this segment made the fans erupt with glee particularly when Ronda called the Bella twins DNB- Do Nothing Bellas.
She further went on to accuse them of bastardizing the move sets of the men in their life which was a direct reference to Brie who couldn't do the Yes Kicks without knocking someone out. But the moment that will live on in fans memories is when Ronda said that while she was busy knocking down doors in combat sports, Nikki was busy knocking down the door to Cena's bedroom. Rousey also managed to take out all of the Bellas security team which solidified her place as the goddess of the night.

With Ronda's mic skills seeming to be on par with her technical ability, she is poised to take over the world.
#1. The Dogs of War break up
Since Dean Ambrose returned to the WWE, fans expected that he would turn on his brothers and possibly join the Dogs of War. During several moments in this week's RAW, it seemed even more likely that the Shield would not survive as a cohesive unit but at the end of the night they owed their unity to the acting RAW GM, Baron Corbin who placed them in a 6-man tag match against the Dogs of War.
After their defeat at the hands of the Shield, Braun Strowman went berserk. Since Ziggler was the one who had been pinned by the Shield, he experienced Braun's wrath first. The fans chanted Get These Hands and Dolph got a running power slam for his troubles. When Braun turned around to exact righteous vengeance on Drew he got a Claymore Kick from out of nowhere.
As the credits rolled Drew's statement was loud and clear: no one can push around the Scottish Psychopath.
