I am a WWE editor at EssentiallySports. I cultivated my passion for pro wrestling when The Undertaker rose from the dead to take out the dastardly Randy Orton in order to ensure his WrestleMania streak remained intact. Since then; I have undertook a journey to delve into the amazing world of pro wrestling where the sublime meets the ridiculous.

At ES, I have been part of Monday Night RAW coverage which is my favorite day of the week. I was there when The Undertaker returned after his retirement on RAW 30 and have seen the rise and rise of The Judgment Day, while still awaiting Cody Rhodes to finish his story. I work in tandem with my peers to carve out unique content that strikes a chord with the wrestling faithful. Away from my work desk, I like to binge Netflix shows and catch my favorite sports moments on YouTube. You can reach out to me on X at @AmalJoyce5.

Damian Priest faced his former friend, Bad Bunny at Backlash this year. It was an enthralling match, but a bad one for Priest as he lost the bout. It was a humiliating loss for Mr. Money in the Bank. His opponent didn’t even belong to a wrestling background like he did, but still managed to get one up on him. Now, months after the loss at Backlash, once again the embarrassment rose and turned his face red when a backstage correspondent asked him a question about Bad Bunny, bringing back bitter memories of his failure. DAMIAN PRIEST GETS SALT RUBBED ON HIS WOUNDS Priest recently shared a backstage segment clip of this week’s Monday Night Raw [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/wwe-raw/] on his social media handles. In the clip, fans can see Jackie Redmond rubbing salt in his wounds. The clip starts with Redmond listening to Bad Bunny’s song, Chambea. Priest enters the frame where Redmond stops him and asks him to tell her the meaning of the word “Chambea” since he is also of Puerto Rican descent. Sheer annoyance floods Priest’s face upon hearing the name of the man who embarrassed him in front of the Puerto Rican crowd earlier this year in May. The fans can then see a pissed Priest, leaving after saying “Take It Easy”, which by the way is not the meaning of the word “Chambea”. 

Damian Priest gets salt rubbed on his wounds as a backstage correspondent brings back unpleasent memeories by mentioning Bad Bunny.

A 9-year-old girl from a small town dreamed of being a WWE wrestler one day.
Yeah, that girl is me. But the irony of the situation was that I was skinny.
Little did I know that I would relive my WWE dream through writing. As a young
WWE fan, I was intrigued to watch John Cena preach ?Hustle Loyalty and Respect?
while being equally immersed the vicious deeds of ?The Viper? Randy Orton. At
EssentiallySports, I have been able to write about these two stars and more
covering their lives in and outside the ring. I wrote about Cena?s thunderous
return to WWE at Money in The Bank and I patiently wait for the day when I will
get to write about Randy Orton?s 15 world title win. Other than that you can
find me cuddled up in bed with my books (only fiction) and read them until my
eyes give out. Drop a message to me on my LinkedIn:

<h2>WWE Raw 2021: Latest News, WWE Rumors, Results</h2>
Nothing matches the nostalgia of a day spent watch WWE?s Monday Night Raw. The audience, the atmosphere, the entrances - all speak of history, a long and glorious history with generations and generations of Superstars.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/87/08/e4/8708e4d4073248ab46ae3a35ba42541b.jpg" alt="Pin on FATT - Bluff City" data-noaft="1" />
<h2>History</h2>
Raw started off in 1993, as WWF?s Monday Night Raw. The new show was groundbreaking, trumping every other promotion that came before it.

Instead of the traditional way of recording matches in advance with small crowds and taped, voice-over discussions, Raw took place live. The audience could see a story unveil before their eyes instead of on TV.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://cdn3.whatculture.com/images/2018/01/808a8e29a538087c-600x338.jpg" alt="10 Things You Learn Binge Watching Every WWE Raw From 1993 ? Page 6" data-noaft="1" />

The show first began at the Grand Ballroom in Manhattan Centre, New York. However, due to the financial concerns, the show was taken on the road, and events were held at smaller arenas across America.

Monday Night Raw was a class above the rest and became popular quickly. It would have had an easy run if it wasn?t for other forces.
<h3>Monday Night Wars</h3>
Business was good until World Championship Wrestling (WCW) entered the ring. WCW began airing Monday Nitro, its own show which directly clashed with the timings of Monday Night Raw.

The two biggest Wrestling shows in America clashed, and the Monday Night Wars began. The two were neck to neck in the competition. However, Nitro sent Raw flying away with the nWo.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.f4wonline.com/sites/www.f4wonline.com/files/field/image/wwenwo.jpeg" alt="nWo announced for 2020 WWE Hall of Fame class" data-noaft="1" />

This angle ensured WCW?s supremacy in the ratings war for 82 straight weeks! Raw seemed out of the competition until WWE decided to pump it up.

Changing the brand name to Raw is War, WWE brought the fight to WCW with gold content, excellent promos, and huge matches. However, it still needed a golden push.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/003/864/996/9fc685e08fdf181117345fd4d3b355c5_crop_exact.jpg?w=900&amp;h=600&amp;q=75" alt="Ranking the 25 Most Unforgettable Moments of WWE's Attitude Era | Bleacher Report | Latest News, Videos and Highlights" data-noaft="1" />

In 1998, WWE introduced something that would become immortal in the mind of every wrestling fan. WWF's Attitude Era immediately drew attention and closed in the gap with Nitro. The finest hour was yet to come.
<h3>Breaking WCW's winning streak</h3>
In the Raw following WrestleMania XIV, Vince McMahon himself went head-to-head with crowd favorite ?Stone Cold Steve Austin? in a match that would finally break the winning streak of WCW.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.ringsidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Stone-Cold-Steve-Austin-Vince-McMahon.png" alt="How Was Vince McMahon Convinced to Not Edit 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin in WWE ?" data-noaft="1" />

Everyone tuned in to watch the boss getting a beating from their own hero. Stone Cold had turned the tide and had the universe of fans backing him.

The involvement of Mr. McMahon and Shane McMahon in the fight made it all the more fun, and thousands of fans preferred to watch the Boss get a stunner than the normal WCW content.

Unable to trump the rallying powers of Stone Cold and a young Rock, Eric Bischoff attempted to turn the tide himself.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b8/56/c0/b856c0a1e9ff0e8919e7fcd0e42a2c5d.jpg" alt="WWE Attitude Era The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Undertaker | Steve austin, Wrestling superstars, Wwf superstars" data-noaft="1" />

Bischoff received leaked information that ?Mankind? Mick Foley was going to win the WWF Championship from The Rock on January 4, 1999. Bischoff ordered announcer Tony Schiavone to give away the results before Raw aired, in order to take away the viewers.

However, the entire plan blew up in his face. 600,000 viewers immediately switched channels to watch ?Mankind? defeat The Rock!<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ghwBHBvra5Y/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="The Rock vs. Mankind - WWE Championship No Disqualification Match: Raw, January 4, 1999 - YouTube" data-noaft="1" />

WCW viewers got to see Hulk Hogan pin Kevin Nash after a single touch instead. This received huge criticism from their own fans.
<h3>Post-Attitude Era</h3>
This marked the moment where WWE won the Monday Night Wars, and?the Attitude Era was at its peak.

Shortly after, Raw is War was renamed permanently to Raw once again, as WWE stepped into a world where it was king.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://amp.thenational.ae/image/policy:1.611926:1500562261/image/jpeg.jpg?f=16x9&amp;w=1200&amp;$p$f$w=dfa40e8" alt="Q&amp;A with John Cena on WrestleMania, winning the US title and taking the WWE to China and India - The National" data-noaft="1" />

Since then, Raw has been airing every Monday without fail, shifting from the traditional 2-hour format to a full three hours. WCW was soon bought by WWE, ending the war once and for all.

In 2016, Raw saw a brand split that divided its large roster to better accommodate Superstars. It occasionally clashes with the rival brand SmackDown at Survivor Series every year.

The 1000th episode of Raw aired on July 23, 2012, and featured a reunion of Superstars. The 25th Anniversary of Raw was celebrated on January 22nd, 2018, that saw a reunion of some Superstars.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.f4wonline.com/sites/www.f4wonline.com/files/field/image/raw25ratings.jpg" alt="Raw's 25th anniversary episode draws huge ratings for WWE" data-noaft="1" />

Although WW Raw Ratings are seeing some hard times during the pandemic, it is set to make a full recovery to the Raw we know and love. We may be heading into yet another war, with AEW climbing up the ladder. Who knows? Maybe the best is yet to come.
<h2>Raw Roster</h2>
The Raw roster has seen some of the best Superstars come and go. Currently, the roster includes WWE Champion Drew McIntyre as one of the best competitors.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200712223652/040_RAW_01202020jg_0977-31b0b1b1ecee478f38dcaaf825934a86.jpg" alt="He Was Very Protected" data-noaft="1" />

Not far behind is Randy Orton, ?The Legend Killer,? who is on a rampage, destroying everyone in his path.

Other prominent Superstars in the Raw Roster are Asuka, "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, Alexa Bliss, New Day, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Bobby Lashley, MVP, Nia Jax, Keith Lee, and Triple H.
