4 Ways Paul Heyman's presence was felt on tonight's episode of Raw (July 1, 2019)

#1 Strowman & Lashley destroying the stage

We had an explosive beginning to Raw tonight after Braun Strowman drove himself & Bobby Lashley through the LED boards, causing the entire stage to explode.

Lashley & Strowman squared off in a Falls Count Anywhere match, and Paul Heyman provided an unexpected twist after their disappointing segment last week.

The feud was already getting stale with lackluster segments like an arm-wrestling match and a tug-of-war contest. Heyman provided the Midas Touch by adding a much-needed twist to the feud between the two behemoths. WWE also made sure the commentators and other superstars sold the explosive start until the end of the show.

It's been a while since we saw segments like this on Raw or SmackDown Live. With WWE desperate to retain their viewers and to increase ticket sales for the events, bringing in Heyman & Bischoff was the last arrow in their quiver.

Heyman has hit a home run with tonight's Raw, and we'll have to wait till tomorrow to find out how Eric Bischoff manages to do a counter-attack on SmackDown Live.
