Monday Night Raw Review - July 31, 2017

Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman Confronted Raw General Manager Kurt Angle

The reaction Angle received from his hometown crowd gave me goosebumps. It was wise to have him kick off the night, set up what was on tap for the show, and have Lesnar and Heyman interrupt in shocking fashion. It helped the Fatal 4-Way match for SummerSlam as well as establish that they will quit the company if Lesnar loses the title. I don't think that will be the case, but it does play into the rumors of Lesnar potentially fighting Jon Jones in UFC later this year.

The Hardy Boyz def. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows

We've seen this match a handful of times before, so while it wasn't too different from any of their past encounters, they work well together and thus this was a fun matchup. The Revival were a welcome addition on commentary as they discussed their beef with The Hardyz and the crowd was engaged in the action. The Hardyz not only got their win back over Gallows and Anderson but laid them and The Revival out on the stage afterward, leading me to think we'll be getting some sort of Triple Threat tag team match at SummerSlam.

​It’s one of the most hyped-up fights of the year, a meeting between one of mixed martial arts’ current stars and one of boxing’s undefeated former stars. Two-weight UFC champion Conor McGregor will meet boxer-turned-promoter Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas on Saturday, August 26 to put an end to their dispute and win the gigantic sum of money on offer.
​
But what’s to happen after the fight? Floyd Mayweather will, presumably, just return to his promoting regardless of the result, but Conor McGregor has a couple of different options, including a possible appearance in a WWE event.

8 Stars I'm Excited to See in the WWE Mae Young Classic

Once the Cruiserweight Classic and the WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament were considered successes, it was only inevitable before a women's tourney was announced. Sure enough, it was made official over WrestleMania 33 weekend back in April, with it later being named the Mae Young Classic. Additionally, it was revealed that the first three rounds would be available as on-demand content on the WWE Network starting in late August, so it will not be following the same format as the Cruiserweight Classic. Nevertheless, the crop of women that will be participating looks very promising with a number of names I recognize from other promotions and even WWE's past.

I wrote something similar to this piece last year for the Cruiserweight Classic (which you can read here) and everyone I picked fared pretty well in the tournament, so here's hoping the following eight women also advance at least past the first round if not ultimately win it all.

GFW Impact Review - July 27, 2017

Ethan Carter III, Eli Drake and Chris Adonis def. Impact Grand Champion Moose, Marufuji and Eddie Edwards

Moose has been feuding with all three members of the heel team in recent months, and even had a match against Marufuji a few weeks back, so this match made sense from a storyline standpoint and was entertaining to boot. Edwards felt like the odd man out, though he had a solid showing as well. EC3 cheating to pick up the victory by pinning Moose successfully set him up for a title match with Moose on next week's show. By the way, it should be noted that the commentators played up Drake as the future of GFW. Are they finally going to start getting behind the guy?

Matt Sydal Attacked Lashley

Sydal has been killing it since coming to GFW and I'm glad Lashley's attack on him last week wasn't forgotten about. Instead, Sydal came across like a fighting babyface by standing up to Lashley, refusing to back down and ultimately laying him out. Understandably, Lashley wants another shot at the GFW World Heavyweight title, but I like how he'll first have to go through Sydal at Destination X next month in order to get it.
