AT HONDA CENTER<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b>By Joey Galizia (@RamJam89), PWTorch contributor<\/h3>\n<p><strong><i>\u201cHOW WOULD YOU RESPOND?\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If at any point you were doubting this newfound era of the \u201cBIG MEN\u201d look back on last week\u2019s main event and question your judgments: The Big Show has been \u201cgracing\u201d our screens for nearly two decades but in that time it would be hard for you to find someone he\u2019s had better in-ring chemistry with than Braun Strowman. The two put on an UNEXPECTEDLY exciting bout for the third time (in a cage BTW), and it would be wrong if my praises were only to go to the Monster Among Men. (So Kudos to you as well Paul White.) Braun would emerge victorious in the affair, and post match he would drive the Giant Veteran through the cage as a message to the Universal Champion.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight in Anaheim, the Beast responds. Yes, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman will be on site, and according to WWE.COM, will be looking to equally parallel the message that Braun has sent. These behemoths haven\u2019t touched one another since their Monday Night scuffle the night after <i>Summerslam<\/i> and I don\u2019t <i>THINK<\/i> we\u2019ll see them tangle until <i>No Mercy.<\/i> However, with Monday Night Football making its grand return this evening, a pull-apart that involves the entire state of California would be pretty exciting.<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>\u201cNEW PLAYERS, SAME TALE\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The only credit I will give to the creative behind the Raw women\u2019s scene currently is that at least they have added a little bit more intrigue into the title picture. Sasha Banks failed <i>again <\/i>to defend her championship and <i>AGAIN<\/i> she\u2019ll be given another opportunity to begin what could be her fifth title reign in the same calendar year. (I\u2019m getting queasy just writing that out loud.) Nia Jax and Emma are as sick of the repetitive cycle as we are, and demanded that they be added to the match at <i>No Mercy<\/i>. Kurt Angle agreed, but only if they, as a team, were to defeat Sasha and champion Alexa Bliss in tag action. They did, and thus, we now have a Fatal-Four way on our hands. Of course this means that Bliss doesn\u2019t even need to be the one pinned to lose her title, but it does mean that she can let someone do all the damage for her while she sneaks in for the pin. I guess we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201c<i>ANGELS IN THE STANDS\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Cesaro and Sheamus have been in or around the tag team championships for the last few months. Their chemistry together has certainly improved both men\u2019s image for the company, and they even have a few victories under their belts on their path to regain the straps. Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose do as well, and the eventual showdown in Los Angeles will see both teams coming in with a wave of momentum. If they were smart, (and we know they are), the Europeans may try to sneak in a few shots on the champs tonight.<\/p>\n<p>-The Miz recently passed Honkey Tonk Man for most days with the Intercontinental Championship and it doesn\u2019t look like he\u2019s prepared to slow down. Last week in Omaha he pinned Jeff Hardy thanks to an assist from wife Maryse. Jason Jordan at one point seemed to have some beef with the Hollywood A-Lister, and my good senses tell me that the beef is far from over.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-64320078\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-Who knew that Big Cass going down with an injury would suddenly propel Enzo Amore into a title scene. On 205 live, he survived a Fatal-Five way elimination matchup to become the #1 contender for Neville\u2019s Cruiserweight Championship. Cedric Alexander did all of the heavy lifting eliminating Tony Nese, Brian Kendrick, and Gran Metalik with his devasting Lumbar Check finisher, but was rolled up by the sneaky Amore who grabbed the tights. Will Cedric be looking for redemption? Are we really prepared to see Enzo compete for a championship and be expected to win? OH GOD\u2026 HE\u2019S GOING TO WIN THE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP ISN\u2019T HE?!?!<\/p>\n<p>-There\u2019s no slowing down on the hype for John Cena versus Roman Reigns. Although the outcome seems somewhat predictable (due to Cena\u2019s upcoming schedule) it doesn\u2019t stop the fact that the ride their has been one filled with intrigue and conversation. The Big Dawg wasn\u2019t scheduled for a match last week, so expect to see him in action tonight.<\/p>\n<p>-This story between Finn Balor and Bray Wyatt seems far from over. Bray has now challenged Finn to another matchup at <i>No Mercy<\/i>, but wishes to face the man, and not the demon. Someone that Bray has been able to defeat in the past. With Survivor Series being the next of the \u201cBig Four\u201d I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if we had a war between the Wyatt Family and the newly reformed Balor Club. Thoughts?<\/p>\n<p>Will you be tuning in to the flagship WWE show? If not, Vikings take on the Saints and the Broncos take on the Chargers.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT LAST WEEK&#8217;S COLUMN:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2017\/09\/04\/raw-primer-828-announced-expect-including-strowman-vs-big-show-cage-womens-title-fallout-cena-reigns-follow\/\">RAW PRIMER 9\/4: What is announced and what to expect including Strowman vs. Big Show in a cage, Women\u2019s Title fallout, Cena-Reigns follow-up<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-851381614\"><div id=\"pwtor-3373607131\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>RAW PREVIEW SEPTEMBER 11, 2017 ANAHEIM, CALIF.
