The fallout from Clash of Champions this past weekend dominated WWE Monday Night RAW, as did the build-up to Hell in a Cell in less than three weeks time. The first match for the show on October 6th was officially announced since Seth Rollins will now go on to defend his Universal Championship against The Fiend inside Satan's Structure.

Becky Lynch will also be defending her RAW Women's Championship inside the structure since it was revealed that she will now take on Sasha Banks.

There were also a number of returns last night on RAW that included Rusev and Kane, even though both men had very different stories since Rusev was able to defeat Mike Kanellis, whilst Kane was attacked by The Fiend.

There were a number of interesting botches once again on this week's show and here are just a few that many eagle-eyed fans may have missed.


#4 That should have been a shoulder tackle

Following his loss to Seth Rollins last night at Clash of Champions, Braun Strowman arrived at Monday Night RAW in a foul mood and decided to take this out on the SmackDown and RAW Tag Team Champions as they celebrated their wins from last night in a summit.

Braun made his way to the ring to attack Dolph Ziggler, Robert Roode, and The Revival, but as he made his way to the ring it looked as though he was supposed to shoulder tackle Scott Dawson, but instead Dawson stayed on his feet and the two men then had a strange exchange as they attempted to continue to brawl following the missed spot.

Both men were able to recover and Strowman then went on to attack Dolph Ziggler who awaited him in the ring.

#3. Baron Corbin struggles in the ankle lock

Chad Gable and Baron Corbin collided in the King of the Ring Final last night on Monday Night RAW, a match that many believed Gable would be able to win, but instead it was Corbin who hit End of Days to become the 2019 King of the Ring and be dubbed King Corbin.

The match was scrapped from Clash of Champions since it was originally expected to take place as part of the pay-per-view, but WWE moved it to RAW last week. Gable put up a good fight and looked as though he had the match won a number of times when he locked in the ankle lock, but it wasn't to be his night.

One of the most interesting parts of the match was the final time Gable went for the Ankle Lock since Corbin wasn't ready for it and couldn't roll off his shoulders. The referee was out of position so it was obvious that this wasn't supposed to happen, Corbin was able to roll over onto his stomach after a few seconds though before he then broke the hold.

#2 Sasha Banks trips over her lines

Sasha Banks will step inside Hell in a Cell for a second time in her career next month after she challenged RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch to a match to finally end their feud. Banks had just taken part in a tag team match against Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross and was then attacked by Lynch with a steel chair, which led to her laying down the challenge.

Banks was filled with emotion backstage when she told Lynch that she wanted to go one-on-one with her once again at Hell in a Cell, but she tripped over her words and actually told Lynch that the two could face off at Hell in a Cell "unless you're man enough to accept" which made no sense, the line should have been "if you're man enough to accept" which is something that The Man did later in the night.

Lynch didn't just accept the challenge that was laid down by Banks, she took it one step forward and declared that it would be inside the Hell in a Cell structure, which should finally end their war.

#1 Nikki Cross slips

Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss took on former Women's Tag Team Champions Bayley and Sasha Banks in a non-title match this week on RAW, as part of the set up for Hell in a Cell which came following the match.

That being said, some of the talking points of the match include the fact that Alexa Bliss was once again injured and left her partner Nikki Cross alone in a two-on-one situation. Cross was able to handle the odds for a while before it became too much for her and she was part of a hilarious botch. Bayley and Sasha Banks took it in turns to deliver a double team move in the corner but Cross fought out and looked to give them a taste of their own medicine, but she jumped too soon and slipped off Banks' back.

Nikki managed to get over and take down Bayley but only because she acted fast and put herself in the way, otherwise this could have been quite an embarrassing moment for one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions who later went on to lose the match for her team.
