AT KEYBANK CENTER<br \/>\nAIRS ON USA NETWORK, 8:00PM EDT<br \/>\nBY FRANK PETEANI, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<h3>Arena \/ Opening Thoughts<\/h3>\n<p>Tonight, WWE Raw will emanate from the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y. for the first time since November of 2016. We put Extreme Rules from last night behind us and begin to turn our attention not only towards tonight\u2019s show, but SummerSlam to take place in just about a month.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s plenty to unpack from last night\u2019s show. We did have two title changes, one of which was from the Raw side as the B-Team captured the Tag Team Championship from Matt Hardy &amp; Bray Wyatt. I\u2019ll talk more about that later. We had several \u201ccontroversial\u201d endings, some of which didn\u2019t solve their respective rivalries. I highly recommend the PWTorch \u201cVIP Post-PPV Roundtable Podcast\u201d featuring PWTorch editor and founder Wade Keller, audio analyst and columnist Bruce Mitchell, and audio analyst Todd Martin to get more in-depth analysis on these topics, as well the <a href=\"https:\/\/pwtorchlivecast.com\/2018\/07\/14\/coming-up-pwtorch-livecast-presents-wrestling-night-in-america-with-greg-parks-co-07-15-18-wwe-extreme-rules-ppv-post-show\/\">\u201cWrestling Night in America\u201d PPV post-show with columnist Greg Parks<\/a>. Rather than expound on anything here, let\u2019s dig in to what\u2019s on the table for Raw tonight according to WWE.com.<\/p>\n<h3>Brock Lesnar and the Universal Championship<\/h3>\n<p>Raw G.M. Kurt Angle informed us last night that he \u201cre-entered\u201d negotiations with Paul Heyman in regard to his client, WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, and his next title defense. Ultimately, Lesnar must show up tonight or at least agree to his next title defense. If neither of these items happens, he will be stripped of the Universal Championship. Tonight, we will see if Lesnar shows up or a title defense has been agreed to by both parties.<\/p>\n<h3>Here are some tweets from Paul Heyman this morning:<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WWE<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Are you serious?<\/p>\n<p>You spring this on my client, the reigning defending undisputed Universal Heavyweight Champion <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrockLesnar?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BrockLesnar<\/a> and me with no notice?

This certainly has to play into the title picture as both men were originally supposed to be in the \u201cmulti-man\u201d match that was scheduled for Extreme Rules. Reigns has long claimed he\u2019s the \u201cUncrowned Universal Champion\u201d because of what happened at the Greatest Royal Rumble. (Is there a belt for that?)<\/p>\n<p><em>Thoughts: I commend WWE for finally doing something about the Universal Championship situation. If you\u2019ve read previous primers, you\u2019ll see I\u2019ve been vocal about this situation. If you follow me on Twitter, I did tweet out one issue I had with Kurt\u2019s announcement. What is the deadline for Brock agreeing to defend the title? Is it tonight? If he has to appear on Raw tonight or agree to defend the title shouldn\u2019t the deadline be tonight? For me it just leaves the situation open ended and gives them flexibility which at this point, should not be an option. It\u2019s either show up tonight, or let\u2019s just move on and start the process of getting to a new Universal Champion. Again, I emphasize my issue is not at all with Lesnar. It is with WWE and their marginalization of the title and Lesnar himself. My other question is does Bobby Lashley\u2019s victory position him as the #1 contender? They never made that clear about the match with Reigns, giving WWE the flexibility of still making Reigns the #1 contender if they want whether it\u2019s by having another match between the two and\/or others for that matter.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Strowman-Owens Fallout&#8230; After a Long Fall<\/h3>\n<p>Kevin Owens was victorious by a technicality last night in his steel cage match against Braun Strowman. As Owens was trying to escape the cage by climbing over the top, Strowman stopped him after breaking loose himself from handcuffs that Owens put him in moments earlier. Strowman choke slammed Owens onto one of the announce tables from the top, giving Owens the win as his feet hit the floor first. Strowman walked out with a sinister smile, while Owens was carted off on a stretcher. Strowman had this to say on Twitter last night:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/BraunStrowman\/status\/1018663790471237632<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, WWE will follow up on this rivalry.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1298701972\" 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><em>Thoughts: I immediately thought of Undertaker and Mankind from King of the Ring 1998, when \u2018Taker threw Mankind off the top of Hell in a Cell in what you may consider the first of the \u201cOMG\u201d bumps in WWE in this era. I know Jimmy Snuka jumped off the top of the steel cage in MSG onto Don Muraco, but that was 15 years earlier and we\u2019ve had more of such bumps in the last 20 years. In a company that supposedly doesn\u2019t offer health care, I find it strange they\u2019re having their employees doing these stunt bumps risking their health. This felt more like an opportunity to do another stunt with Strowman, as I tweeted out last night. It was fun the first few times but has lost its luster at least for me. One should care whether or not he\/she wins or loses a match.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>B-Team Appears as Raw Tag Team Champions<\/h3>\n<p>The B-Team, Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas, captured their first Raw Tag Team Championship last night as they defeated champions Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt. The match went about eight minutes. It ended when Bo shoved Hardy into Wyatt, followed by Bo hitting Hardy with a neck breaker off the top rope to score the pin. The B-Team celebrated in their usual animated fashion and continued to do with Charly Caruso in a post-match interview and with Renee Young and Sam Roberts later on during WWE Network\u2019s Extreme Rules post show.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The celebration is JUST beginning for The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BTeam?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BTeam<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>@TheBoDallas @RealCurtisAxel <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ExtremeRules?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ExtremeRules<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vwkkQyrn2w\">pic.twitter.com\/vwkkQyrn2w<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WWE Network (@WWENetwork) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWENetwork\/status\/1018692139826343937?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 16, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Thoughts: I am very happy for Joe Hennig (Axel) and Bo Rotunda (Dallas). They have been in WWE for quite some time. From a fan\u2019s standpoint they have done everything asked of them, so it\u2019s nice to see them rewarded with a push and a championship. Having watched and respected both of their fathers wrestling growing up, it\u2019s nice to see these two gentlemen in a good place. For me everyone has a value on the roster, even people on the lower end of the card. They add depth and lengthen the roster. These guys and people like Chad Gable, Zack Ryder, Tye Dillinger, Shelton Benjamin, etc. all give you solid matches even if it is to put over the bigger stars. Wrestlers from the past who served in the same capacity are in the Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n<h3>Next for Raw Women\u2019s Champion Alexa Bliss<\/h3>\n<p>Alexa Bliss retained her Raw Women\u2019s Championship last night in an Extreme Rules match over Nia Jax. Mickie James was in Alexa\u2019s corner while Natalya was in Nia\u2019s. Suspended WWE wrestler Ronda Rousey \u201cpurchased a ticket\u201d and was in the front row to witness the bout.<br \/>\nDuring the match Natalya was getting beaten down which Rousey could not stand to watch any longer, considering their friendship. She left her seat and went after Mickie, pulling her off Natalya. She threw her into the barricade a few times and gave her a spinning Samoan drop in the ring. Rousey then turned her attention towards Alexa and chased her around the ring at about 138.2 MPH (God rest his soul, Bobby Heenan may have had a better calculation). Mickie then stopped matters by hitting Rousey with a kendo stick. Meanwhile Alexa ultimately hit Nia with a DDT onto a chair to score the pin.<\/p>\n<p>Technically Rousey\u2019s \u201csuspension\u201d is up on Wednesday, so we shouldn\u2019t expect her tonight. WWE is showing they will follow up on Alexa\u2019s victory and where we go from here.<\/p>\n<p>Thoughts: If Rousey was technically a fan last night, shouldn\u2019t she have been arrested or at the very least hauled off by security for getting involved in the action? With that said I expect she will be in the Raw Women\u2019s Championship picture heading into SummerSlam. I don\u2019t know where Nia Jax stands at this point, but a triple threat couldn\u2019t be a far-fetched thought even though she technically wasn\u2019t screwed in any way last night and doesn\u2019t deserve a re-match. WWE is NEVER in the business of giving championship re-matches to undeserving contenders RIGHT? Sarcasm aside, Natalya could play into the picture as well as Mickie James.<\/p>\n<h3>Ziggler-Rollins Fallout<\/h3>\n<p>With Drew McIntyre in his corner, Dolph Ziggler won an iron man match in sudden death last night over Seth Rollins retaining the Intercontinental Championship. Early on in the match, Rollins went up 3-0 when McIntyre attacked Rollins causing Ziggler to get DQ\u2019d. Drew was ejected for his troubles by the referee and the match went on. Ultimately, Ziggler came back to go up 4-3 only to have Rollins tie it up with 13 minutes to go. Both men went at it with a plethora of near-finishes until Rollins hit his signature curb stomp with under 10 seconds to go. Rollins slowly made his way for the pin, but time ran out before the referee could count. The match was ruled a draw, and by \u201cWWE rules\u201d the champion retains the title.<\/p>\n<p>Kurt Angle\u2019s music hit and the Raw G.M. made his way out. He restarted the match under sudden death rules thinking the fans don\u2019t want to see a tie. Well, WWE delivered alright. McIntyre almost immediately on the ring apron re-appeared but Rollins foiled his plans. Rollins couldn\u2019t avoid a Zig-Zag from Ziggler though, and dropped a quick fall allowing Ziggler to retain the Intercontinental Championship. Tonight, WWE will follow up on this situation. Here\u2019s Rollins following the match by the way:<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1909346522\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Looking in the mirror and taking accountability for your own shortcomings can be a tough pill to swallow, but every day is a new chance to be better. Time to find a new way. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/allheart?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#allheart<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Seth Rollins (@WWERollins) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWERollins\/status\/1018864029576638464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 16, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em>Thoughts: I talked about the PWTorch VIP Post-PPV Roundtable earlier because of this match. I recommend giving it a listen if you\u2019re a Torch VIP member and sign up if you aren\u2019t just to hear this discussion. For me, there\u2019s a lot to discuss but let me say I actually would have been fine with the draw. It allows Ziggler to walk out as a significant champion which considering his terrible run on Smackdown late last year\/early this year would have been fine. Rollins can be the frustrated challenger and make an eventual win, if that\u2019s the plan, more satisfying. Iron man matches are problematic in a lot of ways, so I could just do without them. Next, Rollins scored one of his wins via DQ. You can\u2019t win a title via a DQ, therefore what\u2019s the point in continuing the match at that point? Finally, how does the general manager allow that victory to stand if it involved a wrestler whom had already been ejected? In baseball when you go to extra innings do you get your relievers and position players that came out of the game prior to the 9th inning? Also, if the referee\u2019s decision is final that\u2019s fine. Todd Martin brought up a great point. Why did Constable Corbin force Angle to reverse the ref\u2019s decision in the Moon\/Sasha\/Bayley vs. Riott Squad match several weeks ago?<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Other Items<\/h3>\n<p>\u2022Finn Balor defeated \u201cConstable\u201d Baron Corbin last night. There\u2019s not much to unpack from this but Balor oddly tweeted this last night:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kevin Owens<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Finn B\u00e1lor (@FinnBalor) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FinnBalor\/status\/1018690066422685696?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 16, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u2022Hulk Hogan was re-instated into the WWE Hall of Fame and signed to a new contract by WWE. It\u2019s not clear what the terms of the contract are and if it means he will be on TV or to what extent his character will be used if at all. This certainly draws strong opinions considering the remarks that got him fired in the first place. I\u2019ll stay away from offering any opinion, but what I will say is I certainly hope WWE calculated the worth in bringing him back to TV if that\u2019s what they ultimately do. Everything has a risk and a potential reward.<\/p>\n<h3>Dark Matches \/ Wrestlers Advertised<\/h3>\n<p>Once again, a \u201cmassive\u201d eight-man tag is being advertised. The KeyBank Center shows Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley vs. Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens, and Baron Corbin. They also advertise G.M. Kurt Angle, Women\u2019s Champion Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax and many more live!<br \/>\nI just report what I read. They say date, time, and card subject to change without notice. No service charge applies at the box office, so you at least get a break with that.<br \/>\nStart time shown is 7:30pm but does not show when doors open.<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow me on Twitter @FrankPeteani<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CATCH UP ON LAST NIGHT&#8217;S PPV REPORT:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/07\/15\/7-15-wwe-extreme-rules-results-kellers-ppv-results-and-analysis-including-styles-vs-rusev-carmella-vs-asuka-braun-vs-owens-in-a-cage-ziggler-vs-rollins-lashley-vs-reigns-more\/\">7\/15 WWE EXTREME RULES RESULTS: Keller\u2019s PPV results and analysis including Styles vs. Rusev, Carmella vs. Asuka, Braun vs. Owens in a cage, Ziggler vs. Rollins, Lashley vs. Reigns, more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-903305313\"><div id=\"pwtor-1237594480\"><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>WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW PRIMER JULY 16, 2018 BUFFALO, N.Y.
