WWE like to make a ton of noise about the fact they're a global brand. It's not just marketing hype or good PR though, it's also true. The roster is stacked with talents from all over the world, and that became clear on this week's Raw.

In back-to-back segments, Drew McIntyre (Scotland) worked a match, Becky Lynch (Ireland) and Asuka (Japan) cut a duelling promo, and then Aleister Black (Holland) and Buddy Murphy (Australia) interacted. Add the AOP to that (Akam is Canadian but billed from India and Rezar is Dutch but billed from Albania), and you have quite the international flavour.
