Raw results, Aug. 20, 2018

Universal Champion Roman Reigns named Finn Bálor as his first challenger (WWE pulled out all the tricks tonight for "The Big Dog" doing everything in thier power to combat the likely negative response he would receive buy giving  fan favorite "Balor" a title shot. Pretty Smart But Also Very transparent.)

Bobby Lashley def. Constable Baron Corbin (Neither performer is particular over rignt now so it just was a chore to get through this match.)

The  Riott Squad def. Sasha Banks, Bayley & Ember Moon  (Blah)

Triple H addressed his match with The Undertaker at WWE Super Show-Down (While this literally has zero to do with today product however there was something special for me as a long time fan watching HHH cut one final promo about the legendary Taker. Very Good Promo)

Dean Ambrose def. Dolph Ziggler(Very good match; it was pointed out several times about Deans new look and style, which can only means positive things when Vince is portraying you in a new light.)

Elias def. Curt Hawkins (While Elias is extremely entertaining; the constant back and forth with his character does tend to be a bit confusing how to feel about thus character week to week.) 

AOP def. Titus Worldwide(Just a match)

Ronda Rousey attacked Stephanie McMahon during her Raw Women's Championship ceremony(This promo was all over the place and just highlighted the continued problem with the entire women division; only two women matter; Rousey and Stephanie, and that just a massive problem with such a deep talent roster.) 

Scott Dawson def. Raw Tag Team Champion Bo Dallas(Nobody Cares)

Dash Wilder def. Raw Tag Team Champion Curtis Axel(Still No One Cares) 

Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon named Baron Corbin the Acting General Manager of Raw( This will most likely end up not working to well. Corbin just isnt that compelling of a charcter and the idea of a heel GM is so played out. 

Universal Champion Roman Reigns def. Finn Bálor; The Shield reformed to take out Braun Strowman (Good TV main event with a pretty unsurprising ending; however the real story was the reunite of THE Shield which was done very well. Now obviously this is just another ploy to get the fans to support Roman; unlikely it will prevail but for one night it worked.
