Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross were out next for ‘A Moment of Bliss’. They introduced their guest Becky Lynch and out came ‘The Man’.

Lynch’s SummerSlam opponent, Natalya, quickly interrupted proceedings and claimed that anything that Becky had to say, she could say to her face.

Becky and Natalya recapped their history together, going way back to when they met in Japan, with Lynch claiming that Natalya had betrayed their friendship by helping train Ronda Rousey for her match against ‘The Man’ at WrestleMania 35.

While we don’t need to see any more “You’re supposed to be my friend” storylines in WWE’s women’s division, this has the potential to be an interesting plot point in their feud and could lead to the return of Ronda.

Grade: B-

#9 Austin toasts to Monday Night Raw

The show closed with ‘A Toast to Monday Night Raw’. Ric Flair led all the legends and past Superstars onto the stage before Hulk Hogan’s music hit.

Hogan cut his typical “Whatcha gonna do?!” and “Eat your vitamins” promo as the legends watched on and this segment didn’t seem to be leading anywhere.

Thankfully, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin wasn’t far behind and strutted down to the ring to drink a few beers and toast to Monday Night Raw.

And that was pretty much it. No big angle to close the show, Austin just told a couple of stories about hanging out with Flair, Hogan and Ron Simmons and then thanked the WWE family as Raw went off the air.

This wasn’t bad per se, it was just nice and an underwhelming end to the Raw Reunion.

Grade: B

If you get a kick out of nostalgia pops then maybe this show was for you, but if you went into Raw hoping for a star-making angle for someone like Kevin Owens, who was nowhere to be seen on the show, then Raw Reunion was a largely missable event.

Overall Grade: C
