Biggest Raw Moments - Ember Moon Delivers An Epic Eclipse

WrestleMania naturally had a multitude of big moments. The Raw After WrestleMania had almost as many despite the show only being half as long. Time to take a breath this week right? Wrong. Now that WrestleMania season is over it's time to freshen things up via what has become an annual Superstar Shakeup. Not only did that mean a lot of new faces on Raw this week but it also made for some previously unseen clashes and hence plenty of big moments throughout the night.

5. Bayley Means Business

Bayley and Sasha Banks have done a lot of things together during their time in WWE. Their rivalry against one another in NXT is the stuff of legend and it ended with them competing in the first ever female Ironman match together. That rivalry blossomed into a beautiful friendship once both women were on the main roster but as of late that relationship has turned sour. Opportunity seems to have blinded both women as they have continually tried to prove that they are better than one another. That continued on Raw this week as they went one on one and began pulling out all the stops in a bid to emerge victorious. Take the acrobatic move from Bayley above for example. The former Women's Champion glided through the ropes and drove The Boss's head into the floor below via a hurrancarana all in one smooth movement.

4. Ronda Rousey Drops Sonya Deville

Natalya might have been all smiles backstage when she was announced as one of Raw's latest signings but she did not get a warm welcome inside the ring. The former Women's Champion took on Mandy Rose for her Raw re-debut and even though she picked up the win by making her opponent tap she didn't have much time to celebrate. Sonya Deville immediately leaped into the ring and Absolution went about showing Nattie what Raw is all about. Fortunately Natalya had a pretty formidable friend come to her aid, Ronda Rousey. Deville having an MMA background herself fancied her chances against The Rowdy One but was shown up almost instantly as Rousey delivered a litany of punches and then aggressively took her down to the mat.

3. A Monstrous Dropkick

With ten men of varying talents in the main event on Monday night there were always going to be a few big moments. You'd have likely expected the acrobatics of Finn Balor or Seth Rollins to steal the show, or perhaps even a big move from Bobby Lashley, but no. It was of course The Monster Among Men who wowed the crowd and why wouldn't he after the fans were basically collectively salivating at the thought of him getting the hot tag? There was a point late on in the match where it seemed as if The Miz was getting the better of Strowman, but he made the mistake of taking a split second too long to get a run up for a move. Thanks to that Raw's Resident Monster countered and met The A-Lister in the middle of the ring with the biggest of dropkicks. There was no coming back from that for The Miz or his team mates.

2. An Epic Eclipse

If this week and last week are anything to go by then Ember Moon is going to be a permanent fixture on the Biggest Raw Moments list each week. The former NXT Women's Champion has one of the best and most impactful finishers in WWE right now so naturally whenever she uses it it's going to make for a pretty big moment. After hitting Alexa Bliss with it last Monday and winning on her debut Moon had the chance to go one on one with Mickie James this week. The result was never in any doubt but James deserves an awful lot of credit for how she took and sold the Eclipse. Her selling of the move was akin to how The Rock used to sell the Stone Cold Stunner and it made for perhaps the best looking Eclipse so far in WWE.

1. A Zig Zag-Claymore Hybrid

For quite a while now Dolph Ziggler has been the Superstar who is entrusted with helping NXT stars transition to the main roster. He did it with Bobby Roode and Shinsuke Nakamura via rivalries last year but now he's on Raw it looks like he will be taking an NXT star under his wing in a whole different way. While Titus Worldwide attempted to recruit The Showoff, he revealed that he had not come to the red brand alone and was joined by former NXT Champion Drew McIntyre. The two of them beat down O Neil and Apollo, finishing off the latter with a pretty good looking Claymore/Zig Zag as they delivered their finishers in unison.
