Raw Recap, Reactions, & Biggest Moments- The Brothers Of Destruction Reunite

The last Raw before WWE Super Show-Down took place this week, which meant the last chance to build to certain big-time matches taking place in Australia this Saturday. Shawn Michaels was in attendance, each member of The Shield clashed in singles action against their respective rivals, and Elias managed to get the in-house Seattle crowd a little too riled up. All in all, a pretty good go home show, and you can check out all of the take-home moments from it below in preparation for this Saturday's massive international show.

This week's Raw started in similar fashion to last week's, by teasing that Dean Ambrose might not be 100% content in The Shield. Baron Corbin even gave The Lunatic the option of challenging either of his Shield brothers for their titles later that night. Ambrose declined, and instead opted for option number three, Braun Strowman. Despite giving a good account of himself, The Monster Among Men got to a point where he was merely toying with Ambrose. That's when Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins joined the party, throwing the match into disarray, something Ambrose would later reveal he wasn't too happy about.

For interfering in the match, Constable Corbin put the other two members of The Shield into matches of their own. Rollins would have to take on Drew McIntyre later in the evening, and The Big Dog faced off against Dolph Ziggler right there and then. It was almost the reverse of the matchup that had happened moments earlier. The underdog in the bout, Ziggler, getting more offense than was expected. Reigns didn't resort to toying with his opponent when momentum swung his way though, he simply finished off The Showoff with a spear.

The Riott Squad's match on Raw last week has been a hot topic ever since due to Brie Bella accidentally giving Liv Morgan a concussion. There were no such issues this week as the Squad's leader, Ruby Riott went one on one against a returning Ronda Rousey. Riott unexpectedly took control of the match by using tactics the champ isn't familiar with due to them being outlawed in MMA. However, that just ended up angering Rousey and as always, once that armbar was locked in it was game over.

Strowman's DQ win and Reigns' victory over Ziggler made it 1-1 heading into the final Shield versus Dogs Of War match of the evening. Hard to imagine either Rollins or McIntyre losing this one, at least not without some sort of interference or distraction. Hence why when The Architect looked to have it won, Ziggler's music hit and The Showoff sprinted to the ring. He didn't touch Rollins though, and the Intercontinental Champion was greeted by a Claymore Kick when he turned around. McIntyre picked up the win and the rest of The Shield plus Strowman gradually poured out of the locker room. It was The Monster and co that were left standing tall, and that might very well be the case again this Saturday at Super Show-Down.

Elias loves to get cheap heat wherever he goes, but he might rethink that after what happened on Raw this week. The Drifter made a comment about how Seattle's, where Raw aired from on Monday, basketball team left the city. That did not go down well. He and Kevin Owens struggled to make themselves heard as they attempted to talk down their Super Show-Down opponents, John Cena and Bobby Lashley. Eventually, Lio Rush put them out of their misery as he came out to introduce KO's opponent for the evening, Lashley. Rush might be a good hype man, but he continues to prove something of a distraction also. While being held by Elias at ringside, Owens rolled up Lashley for the win. Will Cena be okay with the cruiserweight at ringside in Australia this Saturday?

The big match at Super Show-Down this Saturday is obviously Triple H versus The Undertaker, so it's only natural that the final build to that match closed this week's Raw. As promised, HBK came to the ring to talk about the match one last time, but after threatening Kane with a Sweet Chin Music if he dare try and get involved, he was quickly joined in the ring by The Big Red Machine. After Kane laid out Mr. WrestleMania, Undertaker joined the festivities. With Taker readying HBK for a Tombstone, Triple H's music hit and the quartet was complete. With Michaels laid out, even a pumped up and irate Game couldn't overcome the numbers disadvantage. He may have saved his friend from a Tombstone, but he couldn't save himself from one. All four men in the ring may be older, but we most certainly had goosebumps for the pang of nostalgia that closed Raw this week.
