WWE moved on from Super Show-Down and ramped up the build to Crown Jewel and Evolution on last night’s Raw.
After the post-match angle from Super Show-Down where Undertaker and Kane attacked Triple H and Shawn Michaels, their tag match was officially announced for Crown Jewel. Triple H and Michaels appeared as D-Generation X during the opening segment and issued the challenge to Undertaker and Kane.
It was also confirmed that Ronda Rousey will defend her Raw Women’s Championship against Nikki Bella at Evolution. Rousey & The Bellas defeated The Riott Squad in a Super Show-Down rematch last night, with Nikki & Brie then turning against Rousey and laying her out.
Another Super Show-Down rematch closed last night’s episode. Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre defeated The Shield, and the storyline of dissension between Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins continued as Ambrose walked out on them after the main event.
Kurt Angle returned to WWE television for the first time since the angle where he was sent “on vacation” by Stephanie McMahon. He dressed up as “The Conquistador” and won Baron Corbin’s Global Battle Royal, which featured Corbin and enhancement wrestlers. Angle qualified for the World Cup tournament at Crown Jewel, and it was also announced that John Cena will be one of the eight entrants in the tournament.
Elsewhere on Raw, Trish Stratus & Lita vs. Alexa Bliss & Mickie James was set up for Evolution, Bobby Lashley turned heel during a match against Kevin Owens, and Paul Heyman made an appearance to hype up the triple threat Universal Championship match at Crown Jewel.
