Rey Mysterio went on the mic afterwards, saying that he will make a sacrifice of his own at Extreme Rules to gouge his eyes out.
Review: Good match. However, it’s the same kind of formula they always do where they transition from one match to another when there is 4 guys at ringside.
Big Show and Ric Flair talk backstage. Ric tells Show that he shouldn’t just do Hollywood and come back to wrestle. He said he should have no reason to come back to wrestle to face a predator like Randy Orton. Big Show asked Ric if he is willing to sacrifice his friendships for Randy.
Randy Orton was talking backstage about people who he have fought for years. Randy talked about putting Edge on the shelf then taking out Christian out. He said R Truth has all his respect for all he has done for WWE but he will feel Randy’s wrath in their match. Ric came over to him to tell him it’s time to go out to the ring for the match.
Ric Flair came out after Truth came out to the ring. Ric congratulated Truth of being in the business for 2 decades bit then tells him that Randy is going to RKO him.
Randy Orton Defeated R Truth
Review: Not much to really it was short which is what was pretty much expected.
Randy was about to punt Truth until Big Show came out. Randy threatens Show that he will punt Truth if he steps in the ring. Randy challenges Show to an unsanctioned match. Show said “okay,” then goes into the ring but Randy retreated.
It's @RandyOrton vs. @WWETheBigShow in an #UnsanctionedMatch NEXT MONDAY on #WWERaw! pic.twitter.com/gYgqvaD5am

Review: Good match. This was pretty much the match that had to main event the show and there was no way Bayley and Sasha was going to lose the belt. Also they did it to give Sasha and Bayley the momentum for Extreme Rules.
Overall Review: This was not a bad show. I loved that they have given Bianca Belair some kind of role on TV finally and that Shayna Baszler is back as well. Other than that, it was more of just an average Raw and didn’t feel too much like a go home show.
Overall Grade: 5/10
