20 Things You Probably Missed From WWE Raw (July 12)

11. Fans Booing The Viking Raiders

There was more heartache for WWE's producers when two different fans (who just happened to be side-by-side) booed The Viking Raiders. Ivar was fighting back against AJ Styles, and Erik was rallying the troops from ringside, when a couple of lads could be seen giving this a double thumbs down.

Saying that, one of the guys also booed AJ on top, so maybe he just hates this whole rivalry and doesn't think it's worthy of the Raw Tag-Team Titles. Let's hope he's not in attendance for Money In The Bank this Sunday then!

WWE announced a title showdown for that very pay-per-view.

10. Sheamus Gets Customised

Sheamus' Cody Rhodes-style mask is gone. In its place, the United States Champion has a sleek black number that looks much-less...medical? For lack of a better term. Look closely and you'd also see that the Irishman's new face protector is personalised.

WWE went close up on Sheamus before his squash over Humberto Carrillo, and he has the words "Celtic" and "Warrior" splashed across his cheek. This was a nice touch from the veteran.

9. Xavier Woods Acknowledging A Gaffe

Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston were walking towards the camera when they were accosted by roving reporter Sarah Schreiber backstage for an interview. Afterwards, the New Day pair scooted off in the opposite direction, which is something Xavier acknowledged.

He said, "We were walking that way, but let's walk this way now".

WWE stars wouldn't normally draw attention to something like that, but Woods can get away with it. He was only too happy to accept that promo shots are unrealistic and silly. Somewhere, Jim Cornette slapped an action figure of Santino Marella.
