17 Things You Probably Missed From WWE Raw (July 19)
8. “Since January”
Say what you want about Corey Graves, but he's not one to get much wrong. This week, Corey said that fans hadn't seen Keith Lee "since January". That, to those who pay attention to such things, was a mini-botch; Lee last wrestled on the 8 February episode of Raw.
Graves repeated his January fib after the ad break too. Perhaps he was recalling the time Lee teamed with Sheamus to take on The Miz and John Morrison? That took place on the 11 January edition.
7. That Cut On Lashley’s Ear
Yours truly isn't exactly sure when this happened.
Bobby Lashley sold Goldberg's arrival with an annoyed expression, but eyes would've been drawn to the blood trickling down the right hand side of his face. Most of it seemed to be coming from his ear, suggesting that Lashley took a stiff shot or two during the match with Keith Lee.
Here's hoping that's not another stick WWE can use to beat Lee with.
6. The Commentators Sh*tting Bricks
Drew McIntyre's feud with Jinder Mahal was always going to be a tough sell in front of live audiences, but WWE booked it the right way on Monday night. They had Drew beat the holy hell out of Jinder's mate Shanky to send a message.
He also scared the bejesus out of the announce team.
McIntyre tossed that chair out of the ring and it came eerily close to landing right on top of Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves and Byron Saxton. All three of them flinched, then Jimmy shouted, "We gotta back up". Earlier, the commentators had been squirted by The Miz and his "drip stick".
