Becky Lynch vs Shayna Baszler
This was a great showing for Becky Lynch against Ms. Money in the Bank, as she had counters for just about every move in Shayna Baszler's arsenal. In the end, Baszler got trapped in the Dis-arm-her, and with nowhere to go, she tapped! For the first time, the Queen of Spades has been defeated, and now Becky can set her sights on recapturing the Raw Women's Championship.
Winner: Becky Lynch
The Revival(c) vs Authors of Pain- Raw Tag Team Championship Match
You have to give Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson a lot of credit for their effort here, as both men showed a lot of fighting spirit, desperately trying to hold onto their tag titles. But their efforts proved to be fruitless, as Wilder was put away with the Last Chapter, and Akam and Rezar are back to the top of the mountain.
Winners and the NEW Raw Tag Team Champions: Authors of Pain
Bobby Lashley vs Lio Rush
Bobby Lashley was through being mocked after his loss to Lio Rush on Raw, and took out his frustrations in this match. Rush never stood a chance, and was swiftly put away with the Dominator. Lashley certainly sent a message with this win, and nobody's laughing at him now.
Winner: Bobby Lashley
Ronda Rousey(c) vs Candice LeRae- Raw Women's Championship Match
Candice LeRae and Ronda Rousey put on an absolute clinic with both women impressing the Portland crowd. Following a series of impressive power moves, Rousey managed to lock in the armbar, but Candice fought her way free with some vicious knee strikes. A dazed Rousey was then lifted up top, and the challenger connected with a top rope neckbreaker! But Ms. LeRae's Wild Ride only managed a near fall, leaving Candice searching for answers. The Rowdy One just had a bit more in her tonight, as she countered a powerslam into another armbar, and Candice was finally forced to tap.
Winner and still Raw Women's Champion: Ronda Rousey
Pete Dunne(c) vs Johnny Gargano- United Kingdom Championship Match
Both men traded a lot of big moves throughout this match, but both were just unwilling to lose, turning this into an endurance battle. After Johnny Wrestling came very close to forcing Pete Dunne to tap to the Gargano Escape, the Bruiserweight proved just how resilient he is. Several forearms connected, dazing Gargano long enough to be dropped with the Bitter End and put down for three.
Winner and still United Kingdom Champion: Pete Dunne
Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins
While Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns may have had a common goal, they were certainly not used to working together as a team, and it showed. Following a near fall off a Spear from Reigns, Ambrose got in his partner's face, and the two nearly came to blows. Seth Rollins capitalized, knocking Dean off the apron and hitting Roman with a superkick and then the Blackout! With Ambrose still down, Reigns had no chance to kick out, as Rollins got some revenge and survived against the odds.
Winner: Seth Rollins
Braun Strowman(c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura- Universal Championship Match
Despite his cheap victory at Summerslam, the Portland crowd were firmly in Shinsuke Nakamura's corner, and he used that advantage. He also used his strikes to full effectiveness, able to avoid most of Braun Strowman's incredible power. Nakamura countered an attempt at the running powerslam with a stiff elbow shot, and then hit the Kinshasa, sending Strowman crashing to the mat! But before Shinsuke could go for the cover, the lights went out! Aleister Black's music played, then stopped, and the lights turned back on. A confused Shinsuke looked around, but there was no sign of Black anywhere. Nakamura then turned right into a big boot, as Braun recovered to hit the big powerslam and end Shinsuke's world championship dreams.
Winner and still Universal Champion: Braun Strowman
