Monday Night Raw ended with absolute mayhem as Roman Reigns made a stunning return to WWE for the first time in three months. His surprise appearance came moments after a dramatic main event that determined a new contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam.

Seth Rollins’ injury during WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event led to significant last-minute changes that disrupted the planned flow of the show, resulting in an improvised finish and timing issues throughout the night.

As the saying goes, plans are always subject to change in WWE. In Rhea Ripley's case, two major changes previously worked in her favor, specifically by taking her career to new levels. During a recent appearance on "Insight With Chris Van Vliet," Ripley reflected on these pivotal moments, the first of which came about under some rather unfortunate circumstances.

Unapologetically herself, Jordynne Grace has made history by venturing down off the beaten path. Whether it was becoming the first-ever Knockouts Triple Crown Winner in TNA in her past life, she is ready to lead the charge in the "WWE NXT" women's division and beyond since her signing. When reviewing this week's episode of "NXT," Bully Ray couldn't help but commend Grace for unmasking her powerhouse persona and using a word not often muttered in the squared circle industry: "Vulnerability." Ray reflected on this top notch promo by Grace on "Busted Open After Dark."

Following his theft of the United States Championship from Jacob Fatu, this week's "SmackDown" set the wheels in motion for the next chapter of Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline in full force. As always, it stayed a somewhat family affair on Friday, with the show being kicked off with a parking lot skirmish; Sikoa and co. were in their SUV coming into the venue, only for Fatu to jump them, yanking Sikoa through the window and sending JC Mateo head-first into the passenger's door before being separated by officials.

The build to Evolution 2 has been ridiculously subpar and has almost seemed like an afterthought to WWE, and I have to first say that I really disliked both champions just choosing their challengers. Tonight, it was revealed that WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton chose WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus, for seemingly no other reason than Stratton just liked teaming with her at Elimination Chamber back in March. Their segment tonight, and the backstage segment that followed, was just oddly clunky, as well.

While it hasn't felt like a long time since we've last seen Drew McIntyre, it's still excellent to see him back and immediately in the thick of things. The last time we saw him was his steel cage match loss to Damian Priest at Saturday Night's Main Event back in May, and we're going to be seeing him back in action once again at next Saturday's NBC special. McIntyre came back tonight and did what he does best, talk s*** on the mic to some of the biggest players in WWE. This time, it was Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton in the opening segment of the show.
