#r truth

That segment had no business being that good

I love how they have a spot for truth at this stage in his career

• Braun Strowman destroys Roman Reigns again. With Roman Reigns already declaring himself the #1 Contender for the Universal Champion at SummerSlam, I have to wonder what a loss to Strowman would mean? I suspect a Triple Threat match at SummerSlam between Braun, Reigns, and the Universal Champion.
  
  
• After a month of hype, the showdown between Goldust and R-Truth was underwhelming. I have to be honest, I was and still am disappointed with the end result.  would much rather have seen Goldust attack R-Truth backstage than have that beating, before the bell, be broadcast in the ring.
  
  
• I’m a Los Angeles Lakers’ fan so getting to see Lonzo Ball in front of the hometown crowd fascinated me. Lonzo appears to be an asset to the Lakers franchise. His father, however, does not; and it is safe to say he did not benefit WWE either. I don’t know what was planned for The Ball Family on Monday Night Raw, but the segment was off-the-hook (in a bad way).
  Levar seemingly said/did whatever he wanted; essentially making a mockery of WWE. The Miz and Maryse deserve props for doing as best they could to keep the segment on-track. Thankfully, Dean Ambrose came out and initiated the following match. This was not the worse celebrity segment in WWE history, yet it was far from the best. At the moment, it was funny; in retrospect, it was a bad look for WWE.
  
  
• Big Cass tricked Enzo into thinking their team was going to stay together. It was surprising that the crowd actually believed the false reunion. Going forward, I wonder if Enzo will maintain star status in WWE or will he be forgotten? It looks like Big Cass, on the other hand, has a bright future ahead of him.
  
  
• For the second meeting in a row, Samoa Joe got the better of Brock Lesnar; this time choking him out with the Coquina Clutch. WWE is doing a great job presenting the Clutch as a dangerous hold. I still don’t know who will leave Great Balls Of Fire with the Universal Championship but based on the build-up to this match, I suspect this rivalry is only beginning.
  
  
• You had to know Monday Night Raw was going to do something to undermine Smackdown Live’s Women’s Money In The Bank Ladder rematch; so at first, I scoffed at the idea of the Gauntlet Match but by the end of the show, they [the Women’s roster] won me over. Nia Jax was the star. Not only did she wrestle for over 30 minutes, she dominated two former champions before falling to The Boss.
  An Alexa Bliss vs. Sasha Banks series could put Raw’s division back on the map. It would free Bayley to rebuild and regroup her character, away from the championship, while Nia Jax starts to breaks away from the pack.  
  

I am still excited about this feud and eventual showdown between R-Truth and Goldust. Why couldn’t WWE have allowed this - actual intrigue for these two characters - to happen sooner?

My only concern is that R-Truth will stuck with some silly persona. I would like to see him develop a more serios side because he has so much more potential than the “What’s Up?!?” guy. As for Goldust, the vignettes he’s delieveredthese past four weeks have erased ALL of the meaningless stuff he has been attached to since 2003.

I want to see where the Golden Age goes from here. Is a championship in the books?
