The WWE Women’s Champion Sasha Banks makes her way to the ring. Banks grabs a mic and says she might be from Boston, but she has left her heart here in Brooklyn and the fans cheer. She brings up matches with Bayley and Charlotte and the fans love it. Banks then sends a heartfelt messgae to Ric Flair adding, “The world needs the Nature Boy.” She says the world doesn’t need a goddess and that there is only one legit boss. Banks holds up her title but she gets interrupted.

Here comes Alexa Bliss. Bliss brings up how Banks has yet to successfully defend the RAW Women’s Championship. Banks says any time she has wrestled Bliss, she either runs away or taps out. She suggests Bliss cash in her rematch clause tonight. Bliss declines the offer and says none of these Brooklyn fan boys deserve a Bliss championship celebration. She adds she isn’t in the mood to break Sasha’s heart tonight. Bliss announces she does want her rematch for the championship next week!

If Sasha could work on her promos, she’d probably be the G.O.A.T. We see Jason Jordan making his way to the ring for a huge match against Finn Balor!

Samoa Joe & The Miz W/The Miztourage Vs. John Cena & Roman Reigns

We return to see the match already in progress. Cena manhandles The Miz and controls the pace of the match until he tags in Joe. The fans in Brooklyn get distracted by a beach ball in the crowd. It’s genuinely annoying that the fans are more interested ina beech ball than they are Samoa Joe Vs. John Cena.

Cena takes to the top rope to play with the fans but Samoa Joe chops him when he comes back down. Joe beats Cena on the amt for a minute. Miz tags back in now that Cena is at a disadvantage. The crowd chants for a beach ball as Miz continues taking it to Cena with punches and kicks. The Miz yells at the crowd for disrespecting him.

Cena avoids Miz’s corner clothesline and tags in Reigns. Joe is back in and the two Samoan warriors clash. Roman gets the better of Joe and punishes him with a series of corner clotheslines and a running boot to the face. The Destroyer hits a uranage out of nowhere to get a two count. Dallas takes out Reigns while the ref has his back turned. The fans continue to not care about the match – I think in future WWE shouldn’t hold 4 shows in a row in the same town.

Miz hits the Yes Kicks, but just like always, he misses the last one and Reigns picks him up for a one-armed powerbomb. Miz reaches Joe before Roman can get to Cena. Joe and Miz continue to keep Reigns away from his partner. We are a few minutes past the end time for the show at this point. Roman is tossed over the top rope and he manages to take out Dallas and Axel.

Cena gets the hot tag and runs over Miz with his signature moveset. Samoa joe comes back in and squares-up to Cena. John looks to swing for him but Joe grabs him in the Coquida Clutch.

He signals for the Skull Crushing Finale, but Cena turns it into an AA to get the win.

That’s it for this week’s Raw in front of a frustrating Brooklyn crowd.
