#1 Bobby Lashley vs Jinder Mahal w/Sunil Singh
The opening match of the evening featured ‘The Dominator’ Bobby Lashley going toe-to-toe with former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal, who apparently got a decent amount of heel heat on the night. On the other hand, Lashley, received a very positive reaction from the WWE Universe, as he looked to make short work of ‘The Modern Day Maharaja’.
Mahal and Lashley went back-and-forth against each other for about 10 minutes and despite an outside interference from Sunil Singh, the latter managed to get the win via a pinfall victory.
Result: Bobby Lashley defeated Jinder Mahal
#2 The B-Team and Mojo Rawley vs Breezango and No Way Jose
Not a lot of people at the Honda Center paid attention to this match, as Mojo Rawley got the victory for himself and the duo of Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas, after pinning Jose for the win.
Result: Mojo Rawley, Curtis Axel, and Bo Dallas defeated Fandango, Tyler Breeze, and No Way Jose
#3 Apollo Crews vs Mike Kanellis
Despite being inactive inside the ring, Mike Kanellis was in desperate need of singles or tag team match and the former ‘Miracle’ finally had the opportunity to showcase his talents last night in Anaheim, in his one-on-one showdown against Apollo Crews.
However, much to everyone’s surprise, Crews made easy work of Kanellis and defeated him within one minute in what turned out to be a fairly disappointing outing for the latter.
Result: Apollo Crews defeated Mike Kanellis
#4 Kevin Owens, Elias, and Baron Corbin vs Finn Balor, Braun Strowman, and Bobby Roode
The second six-man tag team match of the evening and some of the biggest names were lined-up for this one. Elias initially started off things in typical Elias fashion, when he worked the WWE Universe in Anaheim to a frenzy before Kevin Owens joined in on the party to get some more heel heat on himself and on Elias as well.
The match started off in a slow pace, but business eventually picked up when ‘The Monster Among Men’ Braun Strowman came in after the hot tag and a huge ovation and eventually got the win for his side by pinning KO.
Result: Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, and Bobby Roode defeated Kevin Owens, Elias, and Baron Corbin
#5 Cedric Alexander vs Kalisto
The first and only Cruiserweight match of the evening featured CW Champion Cedric Alexander, who went toe-to-toe with the high-flying luchador Kalisto.
In the starting stages of the match, Alexander accidentally ripped off Kalisto’s mask, who was subsequently assisted by the referee as the match finally started to pick up pace and for the next seven-eight minutes, both men put up an athletic performance with the crowd equally reacting to all the big spots in the match as well.
Despite Kalisto’s valiant effort, Alexander came out on top and the two men eventually paid respect to each other after the match.
Result: Cedric Alexander defeated Kalisto
#6 Sasha Banks, Dana Brooke, Bayley, and Ronda Rousey vs The Riott Squad and Alexa Bliss
This eight-woman tag team match was the only women’s match of the evening, featuring eight of Monday Night Raw’s most talented female competitors including the ever-popular Ronda Rousey as well.
All seven women, aside from Rousey, had their fair share of the action as the former MMA veteran got the hot tag and eventually made Liv Morgan to pick up the win for her side. Following their win, the babyface team of Banks, Bayley, Brooke, and Rousey greeted the fans and took a bow together.
Result: Sasha Banks, Dana Brooke, Bayley, and Ronda Rousey defeated Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan, and Alexa Bliss
#7 Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler
This match promised to be an absolutely explosive tag team match, however, just about five minutes into this main event, the WWE Universe witnessed a very scary moment when the monstrous Drew McIntyre ran the ropes in order to get momentum, but the rope eventually snapped and McIntyre fell backwards on the floor.
However, the Scottish superstar eventually made it back to his feet and was ready to go again, as all four men had performed some big spots into this match and in the closing stages of this bout, we witnessed several false finishes as Rollins eventually pinned new Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler for the win.
