Welcome to the Raw review for August 12 , 2019.
Story Progression
Paul Heyman announced it earlier, but Brock Lesnar will not get a rematch for the Universal Title against Seth Rollins. The fact that Heyman and the announcers are telling us this that makes me think something might be up. Perhaps Brock might challenge Kofi for the WWE Champion. Or maybe he will throw his hat into the ring next week when the King of the Ring Tournament returns.
As Natalya went to the ring and talked about her match with Lynch and her father when Sasha Banks made her return after months away. Feigning sorrow, she suddenly attacked the Queen of Harts. She took off her pink wig to show bright blue hair. The assault brought out The Man and the two brawled at ringside. Banks got the upper hand and proceeded to destroy Lynch with a chair. Lynch now has her most dangerous opponent since winning it all.
Surprise
Samoa Joe has seen the light courtesy of the Power Game and has decided to now fight on the side of the angels. He took out Sami Zayn after Zayn was running his mouth. Joe could be a fantastic face as the crowd loves what he does and his promo skills are next level. For proof, watch his promos defending the Up Up Down Down Championship.
