WWE Monday Night RAW: Kevin Owens humiliated by Braun Strowman in portable toilet and Sasha Banks and Bayley’s counselling did not go well
3rd July 2018,

IT was eventful show for the superstars of Raw – with everyone gunning for Roman Reigns and a toilet of a night for Kevin Owens.
With Extreme Rules just two weeks away on July 15, here are five things we learnt from last night’s edition of Raw.
Everybody hates Roman Reigns
OK, so we knew this already, but everyone wants a piece of Roman right now – Bobby Lashley, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre, and The Revival.
The show started with Roman bad-mouthing Lashley (the pair will meet at Extreme Rules) before Dolph and Drew showed up to attack Reigns.
Reigns then teamed with Seth Rollins to face Dolph and Drew, but that ended in DQ when The Revival arrived to give Reigns a beat-down.
Finally, Reigns teamed with Lashley to face The Revival again – which also ended in DQ when Reigns refused to tag Lashley and The Revival gave Reigns a 2-on-1 beating.
Say what you will about Roman, but he’s a workhorse – feuding against an unprecedented five men at once.
The B-Team are 2-0 over the tag champs
Bray Wyatt was absent last night after sustaining injuries in a car accident, leaving partner Matt Hardy to face Curtis Axel in singles competition.
Axel and Bo Dallas mocked Hardy and Wyatt’s woken-style (i.e. gibberish) promos before the match, with Axel then picking up a win over Hardy.
The pinfall came after Hardy crashed headfirst into the steel ring post and Axel hit an inverted neck breaker.
That’s the second week in a row Axel has beaten Hardy in singles competition.
Will the B-Team be able to do it when Hardy and Wyatt put the tag titles on the line at Extreme Rules?
Sasha Banks and Bayley’s counselling isn’t going well
As requested by Kurt Angle last week, Banks and Bayley attended counselling – and were shocked to find they had been booked into a session together.
It’s an attempt to recreate the hilarious anger management classes Daniel Bryan and Kane attended as Team Hell No – WWE even brought back their old quack, Dr Shelby.
The session predictably ended in a shouting match after Banks and Bayley did some role reversal therapy.
It’s amusing enough but after the intensity of Bayley’s beat-down on Sasha last week, is this really the feud fans want from these two?
Heated five star classics – like their TakeOver Iron Man match – don’t tend to start with knock-off comedy skits.
Alexa Bliss v Nia Jax will get extreme… with Ronda Rousey
Before Nia beat Mickie James in singles action, she dropped a bombshell on champ Alexa – their upcoming match at Extreme Rules will be, erm, extreme rules.
Well duh, but also hooray for us being spared an ambulance match or any of the other daft gimmicks WWE likes to wheel out for this PPV.
But the big news is that Ronda Rousey – currently suspended for her furious attack on Bliss three weeks ago – will be sat at ringside.
Ronda’s sure to get involved and turn up the heat on her feud with Alexa – and let’s hope this is the last time we have to see Nia v Alexa on PPV.
KO’s friendship with Braun Strowman is in the toilet
Last night, Kevin Owens discovered there’s no escape from the “Monster Among Men”.
KO legged it from a match against Braun and hid in a portable toilet, which was conveniently placed outside the arena.
Braun taped the door shut and dragged the loo back into the arena and smashed it off the stage, leaving KO bruised, battered, and covered in… well, you know.
Owens is the latest victim of Vince McMahon’s legendary love of toilet humour.
(It could also be an inside gag at the expense of the recently-fired Big Cass, who reportedly got himself locked in a toilet on a tour bus.)
Will this end in a Portaloo match between KO and Braun at Extreme Rules? Someone bring back the ambulance match, all is forgiven.
IT was eventful show for the superstars of Raw – with everyone gunning for Roman Reigns and a toilet of a night for Kevin Owens.
