WWE Raw Results: Winners, Live Grades, Reaction and Highlights from July 17

Welcome to Bleacher Report's stay protection and recap of WWE Raw on July 17 in Atlanta, Georgia.

With SummerSlam quick approaching, WWE is in full planning mode to arrange the entire matches for the occasion. One feud particularly that was superior this week was Brock Lesnar vs. Cody Rhodes.

Tag group motion was additionally a serious focus this week. The girls's tag titles have been on the road when Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez put the belts on the road in opposition to Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green, and Alpha Academy took on The Viking Raiders in a Viking Rules match.

We additionally noticed Matt Riddle lastly get an opportunity to face Gunther with out Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci at ringside.

Let's check out what occurred throughout Monday's episode of Raw.

The Beast Confronts His Nightmare

The Atlanta crowd welcomed hometown hero Rhodes again with open arms as he made his solution to the ring to open the present.

He spent a second speaking to the group earlier than addressing Lesnar, who he referred to as out instantly. The Beast by no means confirmed up, so The American Nightmare put the deal with his mom within the entrance row and requested the followers to acknowledge her.

As Rhodes was making ready to go away, Lesnar's music hit and he ready for a combat. The music stopped after which began up once more. Rhodes marched backstage after which got here stumbling again out after The Beast nailed him with a chair.

The former world champion proceeded to utterly demolish The American Nightmare proper in entrance of his mom. Lesnar accepted the problem for SummerSlam to finish the section.

With Rhodes being so over in his house state of Georgia, it was a sensible transfer to begin the present with this. It put numerous warmth on Lesnar and helped maintain their feud going successfully.

Grade: B+

Notable Moments and Observations

It's type of humorous to understand that we by no means get to listen to Rhodes' music for very lengthy since you begin listening to components of the track you will have by no means heard earlier than.

You can inform Rhodes' mother has been across the enterprise for many years as a result of watching her son get beat up barely phased her.

Matt Riddle vs. Gunther

Riddle and Gunther met for a Money within the Bank rematch, however this time, The Bro did not have to fret about Kaiser or Vinci getting concerned due to them being banned from ringside.

The IC champion discovered himself on protection and needed to counter a number of submissions instantly. When he left the ring to regroup and Riddle adopted, Gunther took him down with an enormous chop and a physique slam to fully flip the match round.

The Ring General did his greatest to slap the soul out of Riddle's physique, however The Bro saved himself within the combat and took each single a type of brutal photographs to the chest.

After placing up combat, Riddle was unable to kick out after a powerbomb. This was a hard-hitting match that confirmed off the variations and similarities of each males. The crowd was closely invested and handled The Ring General just like the villain he's.

Winner: Gunther

Grade: B+

Notable Moments and Observations

The CGI animals for Riddle's entrance have been rhinos, however Corey Graves referred to as them chubby unicorns.

They did job making this really feel fully completely different than their MITB bout.

Both guys had a pink chest after they traded a bunch of stiff chops.

Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez vs. Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville

Judgment Day got here out to present a promo about their varied feuds and storylines. As normal, Dominik Mysterio was booed an excessive amount of to speak.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn got here out to speak slightly trash, which led to Damian Priest difficult them to place the tag titles on the road in a match, which KO angrily accepted.

Before the promo, Rhea Ripley attacked Rodriguez and injured her knee, making her a primary goal for Green and Deville of their title bout.

We returned from a break to see the match in progress. Green and Deville saved Morgan remoted with fast tags, however it did not take too lengthy for Rodriguez to tag in and assist her companion out.

This match ended up being far more aggressive than anybody might have predicted. The crowd was noticeably extra invested as time went on, however lots of people appeared upset to see the titles change arms when Deville scored the pin on Morgan.

The girls's tag group division may by no means be absolutely fleshed out, however the groups WWE has been pushing currently are doing job of constructing the matches enjoyable.

Winners: Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green

Grade: B-

Notable Moments and Observations

Every member of Judgment Day will get a unique response from the group, which is fairly uncommon on the subject of stables.

The method Samantha Irvin says Chelsea's identify throughout her entrance is so humorous.

It's nice to see Deville being handled like an even bigger menace. WWE used her to place different individuals over for too lengthy.

The method Deville broke up a pin with a working knee to Morgan regarded superior. The digital camera was within the good spot so Deville solely entered the body on the final second.

here's a hot take for today

the narrative function of sex is the same as the narrative function of fight scenes is the same as the narrative function of songs in a musical

no i will not explain

Let me guess... 'cause you know what's best for both of us, right? Big brother, right? "Listen to your older brother, Joshua!" That's all I heard growing up! Me and you been competing against him, when in all reality, I been tryin' to keep up with your ass! Mr. Prom King! Player of the Year! Most Likely to Succeed! A blessing happened in disguise; you got hurt, I stepped up. I'm The Right Hand Man, Main Event Jey Uso! And it's all because of him! So guess what? You out! ...And I'm out, too.

Tbh after seeing the dnp craft video I’m not surprised that they didn’t make an Easter baking one… I feel like if they don’t care about Easter (likely) they wouldn’t want to make a baking video but, they seemed really into this craft one.

This might be a controversial opinion, but I think dnp crafts slime might be one of their most authentic videos in a while. (Not saying the others aren’t authentic) For a few reasons, it just gives that 2011 we want to create our own thing inspired by stuff we like. Like “Dan and Phil get down” or old Phil videos. The idea in these means more than the actual execution. Not to say the execution of this craft video isn’t good, but it’s not trying to be extremely refined like a lot of what we see on YouTube now. It’s just having fun and making a horror video to share. It feels so old school YouTube!

comic writers are in the comic business so you'd assume they've...You know, read comics. but from what I see they don't do that apparently.

Brennan will be like “you cannot jump from this high and live” and Ally is like I hear you, but also my vibes are luscious as fuck and I’m doing it

Chris Jericho was fine af in the 2000’s 😭

[ereh-emanresu-tresni]

No but fr imagine making an adaptation where you're so desperate to overexaggerate the whole "you were a coward who ran from your responsibilities so must work to make up for it now" melodrama, to the point of sacrificing multiple critical characters' distinct and appreciable personalities into the woodchipper in favor of one-dimensional screamranting, but then also just like... Don't proceed to have him do much if anything to start making up for it. Did Aang literally at any point even consider learning waterbending, let alone actually practice it one (1) time outside of being controlled by the avatar state/ocean spirit? No. Because otherwise how could we shoehorn in another bs "I'm not a waterbender I can't help defend you :c" "tsk guess we still can't count on the Avatar >:/" exchange? uGH
