We got a pretty great episode of WWE RAW tonight. The main event saw Dominik face Murphy in a Street Fight with the Mysterio family at ringside, holding kendo sticks. The Mysterio family had the last laugh tonight as they punished Murphy for his part in what happened to Rey and Dominik at the hands of Seth Rollins.
We also had Randy Orton in action as well as the return of Drew McIntyre. As for The Hurt Business, they added a new member to their ranks. MVP and co are definitely a force to be reckoned with on RAW.
Check out our list of the best and worst parts of tonight's episode of WWE RAW.
#3 Best - Mysterio family destroy Buddy Murphy on WWE RAW
The entire Mysterio family were on WWE RAW tonight. Dominik was in the main event of RAW as he faced Seth Rollins' Disciple Murphy. The entire Mysterio family accompanied Dominik to the ring tonight, carry Kendo sticks.
After what they had been through thanks to Murphy and Seth Rollins, the Mysterio family were in the mood for revenge tonight. The Street Fight between Dominik and Murphy was a great match and included an epic move from the young Mysterio, where he slid out of the ring to hit Murphy with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb through a table.
However, the part of the match that had everyone talking was the finish. Dominik was tied up in the ropes but we saw his mother and sister help get him out of the bind as Murphy looked for a weapon. Dominik then hit the aforementioned sunset flip and then turned the tables to tie Murphy up in the ropes.
Dominik and Rey Mysterio then entered the ring and unloaded on Murphy with kendo sticks. Rey then invited his daughter Aalyah and his wife Angie into the ring and they too unloaded on Murphy.
This was a great way to end WWE RAW and it was great to see the Mysterio's get some modicum of revenge as a family after what they went through.
#2 Worst - Billie Kay and Peyton Royce's match on WWE RAW didn't click
Billie Kay and Peyton Royce, The IIconics, split up last week on RAW. The duo were never really pushed as a force during their time on the main roster. Even when they held the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships, their booking wasn't particularly strong. There are now reports that WWE have plans to push Peyton Royce as a singles star. We potentially saw the first stage of this push on RAW tonight.
For a match between two former tag team partners, there wasn't really a lot of heat between Royce and Kay. As a massive fan of The IIconics, I left the match disappointed because both Superstars are definitely capable of a lot better.
With Peyton Royce picking up the win, it will be interesting to see where we go from here. Royce could be someone who challenges Asuka for the RAW Women's Championship in the future While watching this, I just couldn't help but wonder if it would have been a better idea to keep Billie Kay and Peyton Royce together and have them turn babyface to challenge Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.
#2 Best - Drew McIntyre's attacks on Randy Orton during RAW
The feud between Randy Orton and WWE Champion Drew McIntyre is far from over. Orton cracked McIntyre's jaw a few weeks ago on RAW and tonight, it was time for Drew McIntyre to get his revenge and at the same time, send a clear message to The Viper.
Randy Orton opened the show by bragging about what he did to McIntyre a couple of weeks ago and then demanded that the Scot hand him the title if he is unable to compete at Clash Of Champions. An ambulance then pulled up in the arena and McIntyre got out of it and charged at Orton and delivered a thunderous Claymore. The referees had to separate him from destroying Orton completely.
McIntyre later intefered during Randy Orton's match against Keith Lee, taking him out with the Claymore Kick. This wasn't the end of it for Orton. As Orton was being interviewed backstage later, Drew McIntyre blindsided him and left The Viper in a crumpled heap. Later on RAW, we saw Randy Orton being taken out of the arena in an ambulance just like McIntyre had a couple of weeks ago.
#1 Worst - How WWE has booked Keith Lee since his RAW debut
Speaking of the feud between Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre, one Superstar who should not have been involved with it is former NXT Champion Keith Lee who recently debuted on WWE RAW.
Keith Lee has looked like a sideshow in the feud between Orton and McIntyre, despite beating Randy Orton clean on PPV. This was the fourth time the two men have been in the ring together in a little over two weeks and Orton has looked the more dominant wrestler on most of those occasions. Keith Lee faced Randy Orton on WWE RAW tonight and surprise, Orton dominated most of the match and won it by DQ after Drew McIntyre came out and laid out The Viper with a Claymore.
WWE could have easily had Lee debut in another storyline instead of getting involved in this one where he's been overshadowed so far. Keith Lee is a powerhouse and it's time Vince McMahon starts booking him like one. Lee has everything needed to be a top guy but WWE need to give him the chance to show what he's actually capabble of.
#1 Best - Cedric Alexander joins Hurt Business on RAW
It finally happened. The Hurt Business had a new member join the faction on WWE RAW tonight. The faction have been running roughshod on WWE RAW since they came together and look stronger than ever after this addition.
Cedric Alexander turned on his friends Ricochet and Apollo Crews to join forces with MVP and crew. Later on in the VIP lounge, we saw Cedric Alexander explain his actions. Alexander said that the Hurt Business would be a chance for him to "earn and learn" and dominate RAW alongside MVP.
The Viking Raiders and Cedric's former friends Ricochet and Apollo came out to disrupt the segment and this led to a eight-man tag-team match. The Hurt Business continued their dominance on WWE RAW, winning the match.
The Hurt Business have been a welcome breath of fresh air on WWE RAW. Bobby Lashley has already won the WWE United States Championship, bringing early success to the group. With a Superstar with Cedric Alexander's ability now joining the group, the sky is the limit for MVP and the boys.
