Last night’s edition of WWE Raw featured four big singles matches announced in advance, with Roman Reigns facing Cesaro, Sheamus facing Seth Rollins, and Samoa Joe facing Dean Ambrose. The main event was advertised as a #1 contenders match pitting Braun Strowman vs Kane. The show also featured the follow-up to the debut of Woken Matt Hardy, Absolution in-action and more.
A planned bout featuring Rich Swann vs Drew Gulak was scrapped following the arrest and indefinite WWE suspension of Rich Swann over the weekend.
