6 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (June 12)

Ups...

6. Samson Gets Another One Over Ambrose

Monday night, Elias Samson once again triumphed over Dean Ambrose, maintaining his advantage over the former Intercontinental Champion and staying undefeated in televised bouts.

Once again, that victory over the Lunatic Fringe came with some assistance from the Miz, but it still was a win for the newcomer. And it’s not like Elias has looked overmatched. He’s hung with Ambrose in both bouts, matching Dean during Monday’s contest before Miz distracted him, costing him the match.

Of course, if Samson’s wins continue to come solely with outside interference, then that will be something to revisit, but for now, the former Drifter is at least looking like a player on Raw.
