With some intense battles among stars, another episode of RAW was held last night on the 14th of August. In the recent RAW event, there were some star-studded matches like Cody Rhodes vs Finn Balor, Sami Zayn vs. JD McDonagh, Drew McIntyre and Matt Riddle vs. The Viking Raiders, Becky Lynch vs Trish Stratus, and so on. The night also brought many unexpected twists and turns, as rivalries between alliances reached new heights!

The evening kicked off with the highly anticipated match between Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus. From the get-go, both Trish and Becky seemed determined to knock each other off. First, Lynch wasted no time showing dominance by using the turnbuckles to her advantage. She delivered a barrage of shoulders to Trish which spilled outside the ring. Lynch was relentlessly pursuing Trish and eventually sent her over the barricade. Lynch and Trish threw everything at each other, from face-slams into counters to Chic Kicks which eventually resulted in a double count-out. Their exciting feud was also announced to be continued in a steel cage match in the future!

The RAW magic continued in its next matches too as Cody Rhodes and Finn Balor stepped into the ring for a hard-hitting contest. Balor gained an upper hand with his trademark dropkicks and basement dropkick that nearly secured a pinfall. But Cody fought back with a series of strikes and a powerful power slam. 

Amidst this chaotic encounter, Damian Priest’s interference added a new height to the game. This sudden interference gave Balor a chance to regain temporary control over the match. But soon Cody executed a Cody Cutter and took over full control using the MITB briefcase. Cody Rhodes won this match only to get attacked again by Dom backstage! The viewers saw Sami Zayn attacking Dom with a steel chair as well. Cody Rhodes was assaulted by Finn Balor, Damian Priest, and JD McDonagh which hints at the possibility of McDonagh aligning with Judgement Day! 

The night also saw Chad Gable facing off against the Imperium member Giovanni Vinci. There Gable showed his true strength by defeating Vinci which set the stage for a future clash between him and GUNTHER. Meanwhile, GUNTHER along with Ludwig Kaiser issued a bold challenge to the powerhouse Otis. But GUNTHER managed to secure a pinfall victory over Otis. Adding more twist to this, Chad Gable re-entered the scene and unleashed a German suplex on GUNTHER! It showed the ongoing rivalry between their factions, Alpha Academy and Imperium. 

In another non-title matchup, the reigning WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley faced off against Indi Hartwell. This match concluded with Ripley delivering her signature move called ‘Riptide’ that secured the pinfall victory as the champion. But her celebration was cut short as Candice LeRae immediately attacked her after the match! Obviously, Indi joined this assault and sent her packing from the ring. But Ripley regrouped with Dominik Mysterio at ringside which indicated a potential future clash between these rivals.
