Last week fans witnessed many exciting moments during Monday Night Raw. Drew McIntyre came one step closer in exacting vengeance upon those who have wronged him after defeating Sami Zayn. Shinsuke Nakamura announced that he would be the one who would end Cody Rhodes’ story and much more. This week fans witnessed the aftermath of these events. This week, McIntyre faced the Main Event star Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes faced Shinsuke Nakamura, and CM Punk chose his new home on his second stint. Here’s a rundown of this week’s WWE Raw.

Jey Uso vs Drew McIntyre

This week’s episode kicked off with a match between Jey Uso and Drew McIntyre. Last week after the fight between Jey Uso and Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship title, McIntyre attacked the two and stated that he will go against Uso this week. The crowd cheered loudly as Uso walked towards the ring to open the show and address the crowd in attendance. He shared how excited he would be if CM Punk joined Raw. Just when the crowd was getting hyped up listening to Uso’s monologue, McIntyre entered the stage. After some back and forth, and some comments on CM Punk by McIntyre, the fight started.

While McIntyre used his brute force, Uso tried to counter it with his wits by dodging him at the right moments. However, it was not enough to score a win against the new McIntyre.
