Ahead of WWE Raw’s special 25th Anniversary episode, the Monday Night Raw crew landed in the state of Pennsylvania last night for a live event show at State College. The action-packed show was headlined by 2/3rd of The Shield who went toe-to-toe in a handicap match against The Miztourage.
Meanwhile, fans in Pennsylvania awitnessed ‘The Monster Among Men’ Braun Strowman in action on two different occasions that night. On the other hand, Alexa Bliss also defended her Raw Women’s Title in the only championship match of the evening.
#1 The Revival vs Heath Slater and Rhyno
The Revival has been on a dominant run ever since the team has made its return to WWE TV a few weeks ago. However, last night in State College the duo of Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson had the uphill task of battling former Smackdown Live Tag Team Champions Heath Slater and Rhyno in a tag team match.
The Revival was just too good for the duo of Slater and Rhyno who despite a valiant effort failed to win the match as they suffered yet another loss.
Result: The Revival def. Heath Slater and Rhyno
#2 Apollo Crews and Titus O’Neil vs Sheamus and Cesaro vs Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson
Next up the WWE Universe was treated to a star-studded triple threat tag team match as the members of Titus Worldwide battled against two former Raw Tag Team Champions in the form of The Bar and The Club.
Triple threat matches are usually fun and exciting, and this one was no different. All three teams put up a very entertaining contest but the end result was somewhat shocking as the team of Apollo Crews and Titus O’Neil picked up the upset win over The Bar and The Club.
Result: Apollo Crews and Titus O’Neil def. The Bar and The Club
#3 Goldust vs Curt Hawkins
The first singles match of the evening as the former Intercontinental Champion Goldust battled Curt Hawkins, who was aiming to break his infamous losing streak on the night. But, as expected, Hawkins’ attempt was quickly shut down by 'The Bizarre One', who scored the victory over Curt Hawkins. Following his loss, Hawkins demanded another match as he issued an open challenge to the entire locker room, and Hawkins’ challenge was answered by non-other than Braun Strowman.
Result: Goldust def. Curt Hawkins
#4 Braun Strowman vs Curt Hawkins
As expected, Braun Strowman didn’t waste much time on Curt Hawkins and gave the former WWE Tag Team Champion his second loss of the night as Hawkins’ losing streak surpassed a total of 155+ losses. Following this match, it was Braun Strowman’s turn to get challenged to his second match of the night as ‘The Red Big Machine’ Kane came out and issued a challenge.
Result: Braun Strowman def. Curt Hawkins
#5 Braun Strowman vs Kane
Braun Strowman and Kane have battled each other on numerous occasions in the past few months. The two behemoths squared off once again in singles action as the Reading State crowd was treated to a solid affair between two of the biggest men in the WWE today. Strowman would go on and defeat Kane via disqualification, as 'The Monster Among Men' bagged his second win of the evening.
Result: Braun Strowman def. Kane via DQ
#6 Asuka and Dana Brooke vs Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville
The members of Absolution were once again looking to make a dominating statement last night in Pennsylvania, as Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville looked to score a big win over the team of the undefeated Asuka and her partner Dana Brooke.
Rose and Deville were accompanied to the ring by their faction leader Paige. However, despite Paige’s presence at ringside Absolution was clearly not ready for Asuka as she led her team to a commanding victory.
Result: Asuka and Dana Brooke def. Absolution
#7 Finn Balor vs Elias
Finn Balor and Elias reunited their exciting rivalry from 2017 as the two men squared off in a formidable match that saw Balor dominate over 'The Drifter'. Despite showing a lot of resiliency, Elias was unable to upset the former Universal Champion as Finn Balor claimed the victory.
Result: Finn Balor def. Elias
#8 Alexa Bliss vs Bayley vs Mickie James- Raw Women’s Championship
Alexa Bliss has been a very dominant Raw Women’s Champion so far and last night in State College, 'The Goddess' faced off against her arch nemesis Bayley and the veteran star Mickie James. Bliss was able to overcome James and Bayley as she retained her title.
Result: Alexa Bliss def. Mickie James and Bayley to retain her Raw Women’s Title
#9 Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns vs The Miz, Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas
With Jason Jordan sidelined due to an injury, The Shield had an uphill task of battling The Miztourage in a 3-on-2 handicap match. Reigns and Rollins received a solid reception from the Pennsylvania crowd that evening. Despite the numbers game being against them, The Shield members managed to stay resilient and eventually got the job done against The Miztourage.
Result: Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins def. The Miztourage
