Raw ’s Main Event was unmissable fun . Braun Strowman ’s impressive showing was cut light by Bronson Reed appear out of nowhere , launching himself from the barricade like Batman to flatten Strowman through a board .

Nobody bad mouths The Hitman in Canada
There is n’t much in wrestle that ’s quite as flashy as Canada greeting an appearance by Bret ' The Hitman ' Hart . Gunther snub off Bret Hart in his home countryis enough to put him in the Losers chromatography column , just because he was booed out of the building , but kudos is overdue for the Austrian ’s mic work latterly . Whether it ’s telephone Priest " street trash " , dispute the legacy of Randy Orton ’s family lineage , orusing Bill Goldberg to antagonise Bret Hart , Gunther has been pose in the employment on his verbal acquisition with telling outcomes .
The need for swell promos is necessary for any superstar , but he is especially going to need verbal skillsnow CM Punk has him in his survey . There have been some short interactions up to now but that storm is approaching cursorily . Gunther yet again denied the challenge of Sami Zayn , but he ca n’t flow everlastingly .

A big loss for the previously potent trio
Natalya Neidhart returned to Monday Night Rawin Calgary , AB . It ’s great to see her on Raw for the first time since confirming a unexampled WWE contract this summertime , but this was her first win on the Main Roster since November of last yr . Great for her , Lyra Valkyria and Zelina Vega , butthis feels like a bad loss for Pure Fusion Collective .
On the surface , it ’s a harmless frustration to a come back hometown hero . However , it does not help Stark , Deville and Bayszler appear like a believable threat to the likes of Damage CTRL and WWE Women ’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Bel Air and Jade Cargill .
