The September 10 edition of Raw saw a host of promos and revelations been made, along with squash matches between Authors of Pain and some local talent, Kevin Owens and Tyler Breeze, and a rematch between Chad Gabriel and Bobby Roode and The Ascension.

We also witnessed a great women’s tag-team match between the teams of Mickie James and Alexa Bliss, and Ronda Rousey and Natalya. The bout was probably the most interesting match of the night. Elias has become so prone to losing on TV, that his loss to Finn Balor came as no surprise.

However, the real surprise came in the form of two big announcements on Monday Night Raw. The last Raw before Hell in a Cell had a punch to deliver to build excitement around the pay-per-view event. What were those announcements? Let’s find out ahead.

#2 Mick Foley

Mick Foley made the big announcement himself

Mick Foley interrupted Elias during his onstage performance to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his infamous match at Hell in a Cell with The Undertaker which took place at King of the Ring 2018.

Elias disrespected the former WWE superstar and revealed that he watched the match that night. He recalled that Foley was beaten and brutalized by The Undertaker. Mick Foley agreed that it was the hardest match of his career.

The main shock was delivered when Foley revealed that he’d be the special guest referee for the Universal Championship match. Yes, you heard it right, Foley will be the referee for Roman Reigns and Brawn Strowman’s brawl inside Hell in a Cell!

What a way to sell the potential main event match by getting the WWE Hall of Famer to officiate the match. It’ll be interesting to see if the hardcore legend will be fair, or have some part to play in the outcome of the match.

#1 Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins get their match

Ambrose and Rollins get their chance

The opening segment of Raw saw the heels make it to the ring and Strowman along with Ziggler and McIntyre mock The Shield. It didn’t take long for ‘The Hounds of Justice’ to make their way to the ring and lay waste to half the Raw talent with clubs in hands.

Baron Corbin, the acting General Manager of Raw, obviously threatened The Shield with arrest if they interfered with Raw’s proceedings again. Corbin even went on to threaten Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns that they’d be stripped off their respective titles if The Shield were seen again.

Later in the night, the B-Team got their contractual rematch against Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre in a quest to win back their Raw Tag Team Championships. However, with a bit of foul-play, The Showoff and The Psychopath managed to retain their titles, only to be attacked by Ambrose and Rollins after the match.

After the dust settled, Ambrose and Rollins were shown backstage explaining to Corbin that it wasn’t The Shield who returned but only Ambrose and Rollins. They even threatened Corbin with an arrest of their own and introduced their own Sheriff.

The acting GM had no place to go except to negotiate a deal between the two tag teams. Later on, Corbin approached Ziggler and McIntyre backstage and informed them that the Tag Team Champions would be forced to defend their titles against two-thirds of The Shield at Hell in a Cell.
