WWE RAW REPORT: TWO MATCHES TO DETERMINE WHO GETS THE CHANCE TO FACE BROCK AT SUMMERSLAM, SUSPENSION . . . SUSHPENSION, THE B TEAM CELEBRATION CONTINUES, THE FUTURE OF BAYLEY AND SASHA, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2018-07-16 23:03:00

We are back and Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss and Mickie James make their way to the ring.

Alexa says kendo stick, chairs, trash cans, bullies, and overrated rookies and she walks out of Extreme Rules as champion.  What an upset?  You were thinking there was no way little Alexa Bliss could beat big Nia Jax in an Extreme Rules match.  That was the last chapter in the Alexa Bliss/Nia Jax story.  It ended the way it should have with the one true Goddess standing victorious.  Alexa says she has dominated this women's division because her strongest muscle is her brain.  She outthinks and outsmarts her opponents.  Alexa says it wasn't that hard outsmarting Nia.  Now Alexa can say that she defeated everyone in that locker room.

Alexa responds to the Ronda chants because Alexa says she is not in that locker room because she is suspended.  After last night, Ronda should be suspended indefinitely.  Ronda was in the building as a fan last night. . . 

Ronda Rousey makes her way down the aisle and Alexa says she is done speaking.

Ronda goes to the stage and then she chases Alexa and Mickie back to the ring.  Ronda picks up Mickie and hits a swinging Samoan Drop and then tries to apply the arm bar.  Mickie is pulled to safety but Ronda attacks Mickie and Alexa on the ramp.

Ronda sends Alexa to the ring and then she applies a kimura.

Kurt Angle finally realizes what is going on and he stops Ronda.  He tells Ronda that she needs to calm down, especially after what happened last night.  Kurt mentions that Ronda has two days left on her suspension and she needs to go home.

Baron Corbin comes out and says that Ronda needs to be reprimanded for her actions.  He tells Kurt to do his job.

Kurt says Baron is right and he will add another week on to the suspension.

Baron says that Ronda blatantly spits in the face of authority and you only give her another week.  Baron says Stephanie will not like it and he will call her.  Baron says he left his phone in the office and he says he will get it.

Kurt shows Ronda that he has Baron's phone.  Kurt says that he will give Ronda a match but she cannot pull any of this or she will lose her match.  Kurt says that Ronda will get her match against Alexa for the Title at SummerSlam.

We take a look back at Kurt Angle's announcement of the way will find out who wrestles Brock Lesnar and highlights of the first match.

Charly Caruso is with Seth Rollins.  Seth is asked about the path to Brock Lesnar and how confident is he.  Seth says last night wasn't his night but tonight is his night.  Next Monday will be his night and SummerSlam will be his night when he becomes Universal Champion.  He says he loves Roman and he will have to go through him if he has to.
