CM Punk, Seth Rollins open WWE Raw

CM Punk released a promo thanking his fans and haters. Punk addressed his critics and said he had turned their hate into money. Punk then said he hadn't seen his wife in five weeks, so he went home and didn't know when he would be back.

CM Punk was interrupted by Seth Rollins, who gave Phil a dirty look and walked to the ring. Rollins urged fans to applaud Punk and said he wanted CM Punk to get well soon so he could retire him.

Rollins mentioned Kevin Owens' heel turn against Cody Rhodes (which didn't happen on TV) and didn't get much of a reaction. It seemed like a lot of these fans weren't aware of the social media aspect, which I thought was great by the way.

After vowing to destroy Bronson Reed, Rollins previewed “Raw” and recapitulated “Bad Blood” before being interrupted by Jey Uso. WWE had to combine three segments into one since they now only have two hours left.

WWE Raw Opening Segment Grade: B-

Jey Uso Def. Xavier Woods

Fans booed Xavier Woods during ring introductions and cheered for top babyface Jey Uso. Xavier Woods is on his heels and hasn't even turned around yet.

Woods dominated most of this match before making a misstep and suffering a loss to Jey Uso. It was a quick game in the two-hour era. Woods refused to shake hands, opening the door for Bron Breakker to spear Jey out of the way. Woods didn't want to help Uso, so Kofi Kingston tried and was speared for his efforts. Breakker then hit a super spear on Woods, who will officially turn heel any day now.

Jey Uso vs. Xavier Woods Grade: B

Sheamus Def. Pete Dunne

Joe Tessitore noted that this is only the fourth Good Old-Fashioned Donnybrook in WWE history.

Sheamus hit an impressive running White Noise through the tables. It was a sight to behold and earned well-deserved shouts of “Holy ST” followed by “This is great!”

Surprisingly, Dunne stepped out of a Celtic Cross and fans were shocked.

After using a cricket bat, Dunne zip-tied Sheamus and hit him on the running knee. Not only did Sheamus kick with his hands tied behind his back, he also hit a Brogue Knee and then a Brogue Kick to secure the win. As much as Dunne shined in this match, he couldn't have looked weaker with this finish.

Sheamus vs. Pete Dunne Grade: A-

10-Women Tag Team Match

The participants in this match were Natalya, Katana Chance, Kayden Carter, Zelina Vega and Lyra Valkyria against Pure Fusion Collective and the Unholy Union. This felt like another symptom of the Two Hour Era, when WWE tried to cram as many women into one segment as possible.

Early on, the 10-woman day broke out into a real brawl.

Lyra won the match with a flying leg drop to the back of Sonya Deville's head. Considering all the crucial factors in this game, they did a solid job.

10-Women Tag Team Match, Grade: C+

GÜNTHER Def. Sami Zayn

WWE showed a promotional poster for Crown Jewel showing Cody Rhodes vs. GUNTHER in the Crown Jewel Championship match, but Joe Tessitore mentioned that this could change as the graphic changed from GUNTHER to Sami Zayn as World Champion.

Zayn and Cody Rhodes had an exchange backstage. Before Zayn could apologize on behalf of Kevin Owens, Cody interrupted him and wished him good luck against GUNTHER.

GUNTHER vs. Sami Zayn began at 6:40 PM PST. WWE's last commercial break was at 6:51.

GUNTHER chopped the maple leaf out of Sami Zayn's chest during the break, which is a shame because they sounded loud as hell.

GUNTHER gives Zayn a brutal clothesline and Zayn kicks out at the last possible second. Zayn then fired off a powerbomb as fans gathered behind him in ecstasy. The match reached its climax after Sami delivered another powerbomb one. GUNTHER ultimately won with a rear-naked choke.

GUNTHER vs. Sami Zayn Grade: B+
