The Raw roster turned the corner on the road to SummerSlam this week as they arrived in North Carolina for the go-home episode of the show ahead of The Biggest Party of the Summer.

Tonight's episode of Raw promised so much with the return of Brock Lesnar as well as a speculated return of former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley. This was the final build-up ahead of the show and the final chance for many stars to gain the upperhand ahead of their matches this weekend.

Of course, when the pressure is on there are many stars who are able to step it up and others who fall at the waste side and the stars on the following list are the ones who are aware of the fact that they were part of a number of botches tonight on Raw.


#3 Alicia Fox Almost Cost Ember Moon

Alicia Fox was in Alexa Bliss' corner for her match with Ember Moon, who had subbed in for Natalya, and after a back and forth with Ronda Rousey Bliss found herself in position for an Eclipse.

After Moon hit her with her finisher, the spot was obviously for Fox to break up the pin since WWE didn't want Moon to defeat Bliss or the Raw Women's Champion to bury The Shenom's finisher, but this was too much for Fix apparently.

The former Divas Champion rolled into the ring and failed to break up the pin when all she did was touch Moon's leg and Bliss was instead forced to kick out. The botch wasn't even covered well since there was a look between Moon and Fox that showed that someone had messed up.

#2 Michael Cole Feels The Pressure

All eyes were on the commentary table this week on Raw as Renee Young made history as the first ever female commentator for the company's flagship show, but interestingly it was Michael Cole that felt the pressure of the occasion.

As already mentioned, WWE is just six days away from SummerSlam and Cole managed to be part of a number of botches this week as he called superstars by the wrong name, called the wrong moves and tripped over his words a number of times.

Cole usually has a handful of botches this week, but all eyes were on the commentary team this week and this could have made it much more noticeable than usual.

#1 Sasha Banks held back on that bump

Sasha Banks and Bayley's ongoing feud with The Riott Squad continued this week on Raw as Sasha took on the leader of The Riott Squad and the former Women's Champion was on the losing end of a big win for the returning Ruby Riott.

Interestingly though, it was a much more aggressive match between the two women than usual and it was quite noticeable that Sasha delivered a kick to Riott's face before she was thrown into the steel steps and for some unknown reason, the entire steel step bump was slowed down. As shown in the video, the entire spot looks as though it's done in slow motion.
