WWE Raw results, grades and winners: Matt Riddle was in one-on-one action on Raw

This was the first WWE show after a crazy SummerSlam that saw the returns of Brock Lesnar and Becky Lynch.

Most of those stories were taking place on SmackDown but for Raw, Charlotte Flair was the new women’s champion while Bobby Lashley could have had to pay for attacking Gage Goldberg.

Tag team madness

MVP brought up how Lashley didn’t know it was Goldberg’s son who attacked him and it was Damian Priest who wanted a match with the WWE Champion.

Sheamus interfered to cause a big DQ, this allowed Drew McIntyre to come into the match for a tag team clash.

Lashley then left Sheamus to defend on his own and it was Priest and McIntyre who got the win.
