SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
WWE RAW BRAND LIVE EVENT REPORT
JULY 27, 2019
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA.
REPORT BY HARLAN MORGAN, PWTORCH CORRESPONDENT
If you attend a live event, please send results with details on the matches, crowd reactions, and attendance to pwtorch@pwtorch.com. Thanks!
Attendance was maybe 3,000. The floor was pretty full, but the lower bowl was sparse. I don’t see them coming back here anytime soon.
(1) A.J. Styles beat Matt Hardy.
(2) Lucha House Party & No Way Jose defeated Bobby Roode & Eric Young & Mojo Rawley when Young was pinned. The OC came ou afterward and beat up LHP as they were walking to the back.
(3) Braun Strowman beat Cesaro in about 8:00. Not a total squash. Strowman spits a lot.
(4) Stroman beat Caesaro in about eight minutes. Not a total squash. Stroman spits a lot.
(5) Becky Lynch beat Lacey Evans. In a funny tidbit, a kid in the front row yelled, “Lacey, you suck!” She turned and look at him and said, “Your mom sucks!” The kid turned round and started to cry. The dad with him told the kid, “If you tell at people, they might yell back.” He was okay after a few minutes.
Intermission.
(6) Drew McIntyre beat Cedric Alexander. Drew cut a promo before the match and had a lot of fan interaction.
(7) Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows beat Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder. Anderson was yelled at the crowd. I yelled “Festus!” at Gallows a lot. Hawkins even said, “Get over here, Festus!” during the match. I was going to yell “Aces & Eights,” but never found the right time.
(8) Seth Rollins beat Baron Corbin in an Oklahoma Street Fight in about 15:00. Corbin actually took off his vest to wrestle. Lacey ran in, then Becky made the save.
FINAL THOUGHTS: I had a great time. I wish the TV product was better lately.
BIGGEST POPS: Seth, Becky, LHP (kids love them)

I was there too! It was cool how Cedric Alexander jumped McIntyre, but I was sad he lost. I really wanted to see a Lumbar Check in real life!
I also really wanted to see an End of Days in real life, but the Deep Six is pretty good too. I love Corbin and I’m astonished at how well they’ve protected the End of Days. One day somebody is gonna kick out of that and it’ll be the biggest thing that’s ever happened. I actually thought Becky Lynch might kick out of it at Extreme Rules.
I was disappointed that we only got one women’s match. The other Raw roster house shows last week had two.
Oh, and I was surprised they didn’t take the Street Fight to that huge open area behind the floor seating.
3000 is pretty damn good attendance for a house show.
