There's a logjam topping the database of World Championship challengers, and we emotion it

When Punk, Knight and Uso each jumped into the ringing and began arguing implicit who is astir deserving of the adjacent changeable astatine the World Heavyweight Championship, the value of the title was instantly elevated. Rollins wasn't adjacent successful the ring, arsenic the 3 top-tier superstars jousted verbally implicit what seemed to beryllium the astir important happening to each of them.

Later, the tag squad main lawsuit betwixt Punk and Knight vs. Jey and Jimmy Uso reminded everyone that determination is beef astatine each country successful WWE. It's similar the Spiderman pointing meme.

The lucifer betwixt Rollins and Rhodes astatine Crown Jewel has each the makings to beryllium highly entertaining, but we cognize that some champions person their ain paths pursuing the event. (For Rollins, it involves a minimum of 3 forks successful the road.) So it volition beryllium amusive to spot however the rubric representation beyond those 2 shakes retired post-Crown Jewel.

More 'Raw' takeaways

• "Raw" acceptable up an Australian Street Fight lucifer astatine Crown Jewel betwixt Roman Reigns and Bronson Reed. What are the differences betwixt an Australian Street Fight and different WWE thoroughfare fights? We're not sure. It seems similar the rules are precise adjacent to the same.

• Lynch vs. Dupri was a amusive lucifer with a originative decorativeness that saw Lynch suffer way and get counted retired by a referee's 10-count that escalated successful velocity (particularly astatine 8, 9, 10). Lynch brought it backmost up later, calling referee Jessika Carr "crooked."

• Bayley, who was successful Valkyria's country for her lucifer with Perez, continued to amusement the duality of her persona, bringing retired her aggressive, mean broadside minutes aft being the charming, huggy mentation with Valkyria. This storyline feels similar an implosion waiting to happen, and Valkyria volition beryllium the eventual victim, but not earlier Bayley and Valkyria squad up for a tag lucifer with Perez and Raquel Rodriguez, who Bayley and Valkyria jumped backstage.

• Rollins pressed his manager, Paul Heyman, connected what Heyman's adjacent determination would be, should Rollins suffer to Rhodes again astatine Crown Jewel. To which Heyman responded "I would person to inquire myself wherefore I picked you implicit Roman Reigns." Whether Rollins uses that arsenic information oregon it becomes a ace successful The Vision's armor, truthful overmuch of the absorption of this lucifer has been connected Rollins' aforesaid uncertainty and request to win, which makes the anticipation of him losing again adjacent much interesting.

• At the extremity of past week's "Raw," it seemed we mightiness beryllium seeing the reformation of the archetypal Bloodline, but this week formed uncertainty connected that notion, with Roman Reigns, Jey and Jimmy Uso simply incapable to get connected the aforesaid page.

• After Styles picked up the pin for his squad successful the six-man tag match, helium grabbed the mic, jumped connected the announcers' array and said the communicative for his upcoming lucifer with John Cena astatine Crown Jewel "writes itself," and I agree. All I truly privation retired of the remainder of the Cena status circuit is simply a fewer amusive matches and a stunt formed present and there.
