5 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Raw (22 July - Results & Review)

5. Still Not Invested

WWE Raw Final Testament

Oh goodie, Karrion Kross is one step closer to forcefully convincing Xavier Woods to join the Final Testament… or not. Regardless, the feud must continue.

Woods, Otis, and Akira Tozawa took on the Final Testament in a match notable for one thing: Otis. The big man was insanely popular in his home state, taking a hot tag late in the match and running wild on everything moving before things broke down, leading to Xavier falling to Kross’ Final Prayer finisher.

Kross got to cackle over Woods’ fallen body, seemingly still trying to sway him to abandon the New Day and join his cause, which is ludicrous on its face and has about a 3% chance of happening.

Had this match not had Otis’ nuclear crowd support, it would have been a massive letdown.
