This week's edition of Monday Night Raw kicked off with the new Universal Champion Roman Reigns, he was making his way to the ring.

Although he was still getting the hate he always receives from the crowd, he remained focused. He told the crowd he is a fighting champion and he was going to defend his title against Finn Balor that night, the crowd then became very happy.

Finn Balor never received a rematch for the title he never lost, but now under Reigns' title reign, he was going to fight for the title. Balor came out, and both wrestlers shook hands to confirm the match.

Constable then Corbin came out and said the match couldn't happen because he was supposed to face Balor, not The Demon, and that night he was going to face Balor.

But Raw General Manager Kurt Angle confirmed the match and told Corbin he was going to face Bobby Lashley.

The Game is back

It was announced that WWE's Chief Operating Officer Triple H was going to make his return on Raw that night.

He made his way to the ring and talked about when Vince McMahon called him to work with The Undertaker in WWE's upcoming Super Show-Down, and how he said no to the offer. The Game then recalled how he had a very special moment with The Undertaker and Shawn Micheals after their Hell In A Cell match which changed their lives.

He further recalled how he called Vince back to tell him that he would face The Phenom in Australia.

With this promo, he promoted his match against The Undertaker very well and we could feel the emotion in his words.

On the other hand, Rousey attacked Stephanie McMahon during her Raw Women's Championship celebration, and because of that she was very angry with Kurt Angle because he didn't give protection to her. She further said Kurt Angle needed a vacation and made Baron Corbin acting General Manager of Monday Night Raw.

The main event of this week's RAW was between Roman Reigns and Finn Balor for the Universal Championship, earlier in the show Strowman went to Balor and said "good luck tonight", and everyone had a hint about what he was talking about.

When the match began, both wrestlers performed well and at one time it felt like Balor was going to win, but Strowman came out, and due to the distraction he caused, Balor lost the match.

He then came to the ring and cashed in his MITB contract, but before the bell rang, The Shield's music hit and Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins came out in their old outfits. They received huge pops from the crowd, and the trio attacked Braun Strowman. In the end, they gave the Triple Powerbomb to the monster. Strowman is still the Money in the Bank holder.
