Hell in a Cell is now in the rearview mirror and WWE decided to turn their attention to not only Australia's Super Show-Down in less than three weeks time on October 6th, but also November's Crown Jewel even in Saudi Arabia.
WWE has a lot of action coming thick and fast over the next few months and considering the fact that there were many stars in rough shape following Hell in a Cell, it could be argued that a number of botches were actually expected. Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler were forced to wrestle despite going through a table just 24 hours ago, whilst Roman Reigns was forced to main event against Baron Corbin just hours after his shocking Hell in a Cell match against Braun Strowman.
As ever, there were a number of botches this week on Monday Night Raw and here are a few of the ones that you might have missed.
#3 Ronda Rousey's open challenge
Ronda Rousey issued her first open challenge as Raw Women's Champion this week on Raw but it could be argued that it definitely didn't go to plan. The Riott Squad dragged out Natalya before stating that they accept the challenge and attacked Ronda.
Rousey wasn't prepared for the three on one assault and was caught in a number of botches as she roughly threw Ruby in the corner before Sarah Logan was then caught telling Rousey that she needed to hit a move on her.
This was all before The Bella Twins got involved and the segment took a complete nosedive. Luckily, Rousey and The Bella Twins stood tall in the end and even though Ruby accepted the challenge, the match never officially started.
#2 Elias trips over his words
Elias is in the middle of a feud with Bobby Lashley right now and ahead of their showdown, Lio Rush came out to introduce his new friend which was met by an interesting reaction from The Drifter.
Elias was so shocked by the fact that Lio Rush looked so young that he tripped over his words when he was looking at the 23-year-old and talking about how irresponsible his parents are for letting a child loose on stage.
Elias obviously recovered and was able to pick his words back up but it was clear that he lost his thought track for a minute. Following the match, Lio Rush and Bobby Lashley attempted to celebrate getting the upper hand over Kevin Owens and Elias but when Lashley lifted him up onto his shoulders he fell backward and almost onto the floor before he was able to pick himself up.
#1 Chairshots to the face? Really?
Roman Reigns was forced to defend his Universal Championship for the second time in 24 hours tonight on Raw but this time it was against Acting Raw General Manager Baron Corbin. The former NXT star knew that he couldn't defeat Reigns clean, which is why he had the likes of Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler, and Braun Strowman interfere in the match.
Before the trio ran interference, Corbin decided that the best way to get the upper hand was to throw a chair at Roman's face. The only issue was it doesn't look as though Roman is able to get his hands up in time to block and the chair gets him across the bridge of the nose. In 2018, this kind of chair shots are banned in WWE, so how did Baron get away with delivering one on Raw?
