WWE RAW RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR AUG. 31
The wash is out, it’s hanging up and all I have is nothing. Nothing to do but liveblog this here pro wrestling show for you, folks.
The show opens with Royce Keys and OTM rolling up in the loading dock and attacking the Usos in their car, beating them down and smashing “Main Event” Jey Uso into the door and then slamming “Big” Jim Uso into the back window!
“Samoan Werewolf” Jacob Fatu makes the save moments too late, pipe in hand, and Keys and OTM make their escape.
Commentary apologizes for the chaos and we cut back to the loading dock, Jey’s head blurred out for blood as general manager Adam Pearce and medics check on him.
Sol Ruca makes her entrance ahead of our opening contest, followed thereafter by Raquel Rodriguez to get us going.
But before our match gets going, “Samoan Werewolf” Jacob Fatu comes to ringside and gets on the announce desk and cuts a promo about how he’s not gonna stand for this and he’s gonna dogwalk all three of Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, and Lucien Price.
He leaves and then the women are graciously allowed to beging fighting now that men are done talking.
