1. A Chaotic Ending

Holy hell, you probably need a scorecard to keep up with all the action at the end of Raw, during and after the six-man tag match.

The match itself was packed with some hot action, with fans rocking as Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns tried to figure out how to stop Braun Strowman. In the end, Strowman toppled Zayn (the designated fall guy in this match), but that was far from the end of the action.

Braun carried Sami off to the announce table, where it looked like he was going to put him through the table. But Rollins and Reigns interjected, saving Zayn and taking out Strowman. Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho interfered next and managed to take both men out, with Owens putting Reigns through the table to close out Raw.

It was a wild ending that left a lot of things open for how things could play out in coming weeks. And it was just a fun ending, a lot better an in-ring dressing down from Stephanie McMahon or whatever else we could have gotten.
