WWE’s Monday Night Raw struggled to impress in Quebec City, as a series of disappointing finishes and interference marred the show. The main event saw Becky Lynch retain her Women’s Intercontinental title in a clean finish against Maxxine Dupri, but it was overshadowed by underwhelming tag team matches.
The opening contest between Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano and AJ Styles and Dragon Lee featured repetitive spots that failed to leave an impact. In the main event, a similar scene unfolded as LA Knight and CM Punk were left hanging by Bron Breakker and Seth Rollins.
Other bouts saw Sami Zayn beat Rusev in a disqualification match, but was later attacked by Solo Sikoa, who escalated their feud with Asuka. The post-match brawl between Sheamus and Rusev continued their beef, while Roxanne Perez’s win over Iyo Sky was marred by the Kabuki Warriors’ interference.
Despite the show’s shortcomings, WWE has set up a compelling storyline for upcoming events. Seth Rollins will face Jey Uso in a Fatal 4-Way match at Clash in Paris on August 31st, with his World title on the line.
The show’s reliance on interference and recycled tropes made it feel hollow, but promo segments have been effective in moving the story forward. With a packed schedule ahead, WWE will need to improve its match quality to keep viewers engaged.
