Bengaluru, July 2: A massive Falls Count Anywhere match between two behemoths brought a chaotic start to last night’s edition of WWE Monday Night Raw which took place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
A fresh and solid matchup in the tag team division between The New Day and Heavy Machinery also took place on the show. Plus, a returning couple faced the team of Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins in a segment that was quite vulgar. Meanwhile, The Undertaker was in attendance on the show as well.
WWE Raw in Dallas kicked off with the Falls Count Anywhere match between Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman. The pair took the fight to the ramp, where Strowman pushed Lashley through the LED board which led to explosions. As a result of that both men were grounded and immobilized as the medical ran down to check on them. The match was called off without a result and the arena was left without power for a while.

Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre talked about how The Undertaker surprised them last week. But at Extreme Rules, the scene will be totally different. The arena went dark once again as some lightning struck the ring. The Undertaker finally made his way to the ring to tell the heel duo that they are "a couple of lost souls suffering the torment and torture of the acrid stench… of death. That will be for all of eternity." And he ended the segment by stating, they two will never Rest In Peace.
However, a second referee ran out to reverse the decision and restarted the match. Ricochet countered a torture rack attempt and caught AJ in an inside cradle to retain his title. An irate AJ teamed up with his Club brethren Luke Gallows and Carl Anderson to deliver a beatdown on Ricochet. The shocking heel-turn from Styles closed this week's episode as the audience remained speechless.
