5 memorable moments from WWE this week 

WWE is doing its best to deliver quality programming, to keep its products fresh and ratings high. From returning legends to some extremely high profile matches, WWE has given all it takes to deliver some of the best content on television.

Although some matches and segments have been exciting, others have failed to hit the mark and were disappointing. This week's action on Raw, SmackDown, and NXT gave us some memorable moments, as well as forgettable ones.

In this article, we analyze the 5 most memorable moments from this week’s WWE episodes.

#5 The awesome NXT main-event

In the last few years, NXT has proven time and again why it's one of the best wrestling brands in the business today.

Some of its decisions, bookings, and matches outclass those of Raw and SmackDown, making fans wonder why NXT is referred to as the third brand of WWE.

If your ideal wrestling match involves having two insanely powerful and hard-hitting athletes giving all they've got in the ring, then the NXT main event this week was A+. Matt Riddle and Killian Dain tore the house down, displaying their unique skills & coming out looking formidable at the end of the bout.

Even though Dain won the match, we’re more than sure that this won’t be the end of their rivalry. They will deliver some more breathtaking match-ups shortly.

#4 The Fiend shuts down 'The King's Court'

The Fiend isn’t a fan of wrestling legends.

This isn’t just an assumption, as we have seen the demonic character take down some of the biggest names in wrestling during the past few weeks.

Mick Foley and Kurt Angle are two legendary stars who were attacked by The Fiend not long ago. This week on Raw, The Fiend found his third legendary victim.

Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler returned to Raw with ‘The King’s Court’ this Monday night. He hosted Trish Stratus a few weeks ago, and we believed the segment would be more of the same.

However, before Lawler could get going, the lights began to dim and Lawler dashed for the entrance ramp, knowing what was coming for him. The Fiend was able to trick Lawler, attacking him on the entrance ramp, adding one more legendary victim to his list.

#3 The Devil’s Advocate

What’s better than Shinsuke Nakamura playing a heel and holding a mid-card title on the main roster? Nakamura playing a heel and holding a mid-card title with a formidable mouthpiece.

Sami Zayn is one of the smoothest talkers in WWE today. He could well go down as one of the greatest heel promo-cutters of all time!

While his in-ring bookings haven’t been too great lately, WWE has finally found a way to make Nakamura’s Intercontinental Championship reign memorable, while giving Zayn more screen time.

Zayn revealed on The Miz TV that he will now be the official mouthpiece of Nakamura, who isn't a great talker himself.

While this reminds us of Bobby Lashley’s pairing with Lio Rush, the new partnership has the potential to go the extra mile, giving us some of the most memorable moments of 2019.

Are we done talking?

#2 New Raw Tag Team Champions

The WWE Raw Tag Team Championships have had a bizarre journey for well over a year now - from the B-Team to the Major Brothers, as well as the Braun Strowman and Nicholas win.

However, at the start of the week, the deserving team of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson were holding the championships. Although we believed the duo would hold the titles for a few more months, WWE had other plans.

This week on Raw, a challenge from Seth Rollins to The O.C for the tag titles was accepted by the heels. However, the unthinkable happened, as Rollins and Strowman were able to defeat Gallows and Anderson, taking the titles.

This not only gave Braun Strowman his second and longest Raw Tag Team Championship reign, but Seth Rollins has also been crowned a double champion for the third time in his WWE career.

#1 Buddy Murphy’s victory over Daniel Bryan

If you’ve watched 205 Live in the past, you’d know that Buddy Murphy is an incredible performer.

The former Cruiserweight Champion was drafted to SmackDown Live but did not get many opportunities on the main roster until he became a part of the Roman Reigns mystery attacker storyline.

After getting a match at the SummerSlam pre-show against Apollo Crews, Murphy got the biggest match of his life against Roman Reigns on SmackDown.

However, this week proved to be even better for the Australian born superstar, as he got a match against Daniel Bryan. After the spectacular match, Murphy was able to defeat the former WWE Champion, leaving a huge imprint on SmackDown Live.

Whether the win will result in a push for the superstar or not remains to be seen, however, it has ensured that the WWE Universe knows why he is SmackDown’s “Best Kept Secret".
