WWE RAW: Braun Strowman and Ronda Rousey steal the show in Montreal
This week's WWE RAW took place at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada and had Braun Strowman and Ronda Rousey as the main protagonists. This red show was the last before Backlash, the event on May 6.
WWE RAW started with the match between Elias and Bobby Roode. Although there was no official winner, the 'singer' proclaimed himself the winner after hitting the 'Glorious' with the ring post. After the impact, the former United States champion needed help from the referees to stand up.
On the other hand, the tag team division has a warning. The Authors of Pain easily defeated two Canadian wrestlers. The former NXT champions finished off their opponents in just one minute on WWE's red show.
On Braun Strowman's side, the 'Monster Among Men' teamed up with Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley to face Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Jinder Mahal. With a 'powerslam' on 'KO', the bearded one gave his team the victory.
Meanwhile, Ronda Rousey is making an impact in WWE. Although she didn't fight, she accompanied her friend Natalya in her match against Mickie James. 'Rowdy' was on the lookout for any intervention from Alexa Bliss. So much so that the former champion had to flee when she saw her.
