Welcome to the Raw review for August 19 , 2019.
Story Progression
It seems that the time that comes for ever wrestler was coming for Rey Mysterio. He talked about how after Andrade ripped off his mask, he has not been able to get revenge. He spoke about his body not being able to do what he wanted anymore. He said the time had come to hang up the mask and his boots. Before he could, his son Dominic reminded him that he wanted to tag with him before he retires. Rey did not retire, a match with his son in his future.
The New Day and the Revival were having a match when Randy Orton attacked. The alliance had been foreshadowed as the Revival were wearing snake skin boots. What happened next was that Kofi ran down to make the save, but was beat down by the number game. Orton then reminded fans of what he is capable of when it comes to being sadistic. He made Kofi watch as the Revival injured Wood’s leg. Orton with the Revival works, especially if The Viper wants to even the odds.
Surprise
It seems that Seth Rollins has a habit of wanting to become Tag Team Champions with people who want his belt. After saving Braun Strowman from an OC beat down, they challenged Anderson and Gallows for the Raw Tag Team Championship. Strowman kept looking at Rollins WWE championship. During the match, the two worked well and the won the Tag Team Champions.
