22 WTF Moments From WWE RAW (July 28)

A weak champion, a headless fish, and legitimate broken nose.

Predictably, the first Raw since the leak of Hulk Hogan's racist outburst carried on as normal, with absolutely no mention of the Hulkster throughout the broadcast. Instead, fans were treated to a series of "first-time" matches between freshly paired opponents, including Orton vs Owens, Ambrose vs Big Show, and Sasha Banks vs Paige. Unfortunately (but somewhat predictably), Raw also fell into the trap of including too many shenanigans. The booking team's fondness for cheap finishes and paint-by-numbers storyline progression means that a show focused entirely on the actual wrestling is a rarity these days. In fairness, three of the show's seven matches can be considered "good" at the very least. The main event between WWE Champion Seth Rollins and US Champion John Cena was a dramatic, hard-hitting affair, while Sasha Banks and Paige put on a clinic for every other diva on the roster. The customary tag match (between the Lucha Dragons and Los Matadores) didn't disappoint either, but was met with apathy from a decidedly fickle crowd. Here are 22 WTF Moments from a Raw featuring a headless fish, a collapsed barricade, a 'Mega Dad of the Year', and even blood.
