8 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE Raw (July 10)

Judgment Day isn't the only WWE faction that's erm...less than stable on Raw right now.

Tension lingering from Money In The Bank threatened to boil over on this week's episode of Raw.

Judgment Day duo Finn Bálor and Damian Priest were at one another's throats as the show went live, but things had calmed by the end...for now. This power struggle between both men is far from over, but they're not the only stablemates skating on thin ice right now: Imperium are too, sadly.

WWE better not to be taking that story in the direction Raw teased, because it'd be unnecessary and frankly thick to split GUNTHER, Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci. They're a fabulous trio; cracks have appeared due to Drew McIntyre's comeback and alliance with Matt Riddle though.

Overall, this was a tidy and slick episode of the flagship. That three hour duration is always gonna be tricky to handle, but WWE's writers did a solid job of things and put on a collection of cracking matches to help things zip along smoothly.

Multiple Raw newbies got to bask in the spotlight all night, which was also appreciated. However, some minor gripes show the path to SummerSlam might be bumpy for others.

Here's all the good and bad!
