Raw was forced to speed along towards SummerSlam this week without many of its biggest stars. John Cena and Brock Lesnar both participated in candid, sit-down interviews to mask their absence. Surprisingly by having to think resourcefully, WWE creative managed to add a level of heat to their feud that perhaps not even their live presence could have achieved. After setting a less than impressive Beat the clock time in his win over Alberto Del Rio, Dean Ambrose was able to one-up rival Seth Rollins, by costing him a match in the nights main event. Heath Slater scored a monumental upset over Rollins in what was easily Slaters biggest victory to date, giving Ambrose the ability to choose the stipulation in his match with Rollins at Summerslam. If that wasnt enough excitement, the Authority essentially turned the WWE Network heel, making only $9.99 their new catchphrase, in an attempt to help the struggling endeavor. Now thats thinking outside of the box. While $9.99 isnt a stat well be covering today, we have compiled a comprehensive list of obscure stats and facts that you probably didnt know about this weeks Monday Night Raw.
