My WWE 2K18 Results: WWE RAW (August.Week 1)

WWE RAW

August, Week 1, Year 1

Uniondale, NY

RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and RAW General Manager Mick Foley kick off Monday Night RAW with an announcement. With the WWE Championship and its champion “The Lunatic Fringe” Dean Ambrose drafted to SmackDown Live, Monday Night RAW has been left without a world championship. As a result, RAW creating a new championship to serve as its top championship. In honor of the WWE Universe, the new championship will be named the WWE Universal Championship and its champion will be decided at WWE SummerSlam in four weeks time.

Tonight and also next week on RAW, there will be two Fatal 4-Way Match each night. Tonight's winners will face off in two weeks and next week's winners will face off in three weeks. The last two Superstars standing will compete in a match at WWE SummerSlam for the WWE Universal Championship!

Footage is shown of last night's tag team match involving Nia Jax and “The Boss” Sasha Banks take on the WWE Women's Champion Charlotte and her surprise tag team partner, Bayley. Sasha would go on to lay out Bayley with a Bank Statement before Nia dispatched “The Hugger” for the victory. As a result of this victory and factoring in her dominant run in NXT, Nia has been named the #1 contender for the WWE Women's Championship and will challenge Charlotte...TONIGHT!

Show Opener Promo

Nia Jax comes out to the ring to call out Charlotte and formally challenge her to a Women's Championship match tonight.

Titus O'Neil says that he's been competing for a long time to become a break out star and many have written off. He's waited for an opportunity like this for a long time and tonight he will capitalize and realize the potential that everyone always talks about. Tonight, Titus looks to become the main event player.

The Big Show says that he feels like he's taken a back seat to other WWE Superstars as of late while he works as a WWE brand ambassador. He's been waiting for the right time to show the locker room how unstoppable he is and it appears as though tonight is the night.

Sami Zayn says that Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho and himself are The New Millennia of the WWE and while Chris is off working as hard as he can to bring the WWE United States Championship back home to Canada, Sami and Kevin will be giving every fiber of their being to make sure that one of them punches their ticket to SummerSlam and bring home the WWE Universal Championship to Canada.

“The Man That Gravity Forgot” Neville talks about how it seems as though a lot of people doubted that he'd ever get this far but here he stands, competing for the WWE Universal Championship. The absolute highest level he has ever reached in this business. Tonight may be the first step Neville takes towards a life very much changed by winning the WWE Universal Championship at SummerSlam. All he has to do is defeat someone like Sami Zayn in his Fatal 4-Match, a feat he has accomplished once before. One more victory over Sami Zayn tonight may possibly lead to a life changing opportunity.

They argue over each other until Stephanie reveals that The New Day is currently ranked #2 and Enzo and Cass are ranked #3. There's only one way to determine which team is truly better than the other and that is through in-ring competition.

Footage is shown of Braun Strowman destroying Sin Cara last night at WWE Battleground as well as James Ellsworth this past Monday Night on RAW.

Middle Card Promo

Clips are shown of “The Viper” Randy Orton defeating Chris Jericho to retain the WWE United States Championship in a Ladder Match last night at WWE Battleground. WWE United States Champion, “The Viper” Randy Orton comes out to talk about last night as well as the future. He asks Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley for an upgrade in competition after just defeating Chris Jericho twice in a row. Orton is immediately interrupted by Jericho who comes out and takes offense to Orton's statements and goes on to explain why he is a greater Superstar that Randy. The promo gets heated as Orton says that there won't be any doubt that Jericho and him will meet again in a match. It appears that Jericho has subtly succeeded in his mind games to get another match with the WWE United States Champion. Insults are thrown from Orton's end which prompts Jericho to lay him out with a cheap shot. The segment ends in a brawl.

No one has seen all of the hard work and training that Coach Bob Backlund has been putting Darren Young through but tonight could possibly be the night where Darren shows the world how hard he has been training when he goes to battle and holds his own with greats like “The Game” Triple H, “The Bulgarian Brute” Rusev and “The Celtic Warrior” Sheamus. Coach Bob hypes up Darren Young who says that tonight “Mr. No Days Off” is about to break the internet with the biggest victory of his career.

Triple H acknowledges that The Authority haven't been as mighty as they used to be following WrestleMania but they've been simply biding their time and plotting their resurgence. Now all of the plotting is done and all of that biding of time is about to pay off. The Authority will make their presence felt at SummerSlam and “The Game” guarantees that. It all starts tonight.

“The Bulgarian Brute” Rusev and “The Celtic Warrior” Sheamus both let each other know that everything will be just business in their Fatal 4-Way Match. They will team up if they have to but neither man will flinch if they have to fight each other.

Match #5
