8. Bayley and Alicia Fox vs. Dana Brooke and Nia Jax
The second women’s match of the night featured Bayley teaming up with the unpredictable Alicia Fox against the unstoppable Nia Jax and Charlotte’s protege, Dana Brooke.

9. Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens (WWE Universal Championship)
The main event of the evening saw a predictable finish with Kevin Owens retaining the Universal title via DQ. Owens was at his heelish best after the match as he took to the mic and trash talked Rollins with the belt firmly in his hands.
As expected, Rollins blocked the Pop-up Powerbomb and delivered a Pedigree to end the show on a high. He cut a promo on his impending Hell In A Cell match and thus an eventful show came to a close.

Points to note
– Roman Reigns didn’t get the usual 50-50 reaction and was quite over with the fans.
– The tag teams of the RAW put on the match of the night which goes to show the potential it possesses.
– As seen in previous live events, Rollins is playing the full-blown babyface role and is yet to transition into one on WWE programming.
– Sin Cara got in a lot of offense in his match against Braun Strowman, which could be an indication of WWE giving the former Wyatt Family member some in-ring experience before he comes across established competition on RAW.
