Raw after Crown Jewel

            It's a BIG opening on the season premiere of Raw, WWE champion, Big E is in the ring but is soon interrupted by Seth Rollins. He wants the title that currently adorns the waist of Ettore. Before a decision can be made, here comes Rey Mysterio. Rey wants to win the championship one more time. But the ring just keeps getting crowded with the appearance of Finn Balor. Balor wants the gold that he has never held. But wait, there is more. Here comes Kevin Owens. Shortly after chaos erupts, Sonya DeVille announces a fatal four way ladder match to determine the number one contender for a chance at the title. 

            The first match of the evening will see the Street Profits squaring up against the Dirty Dawgz and the Alpha Academy. The tag team who wins this contest will have a title match tonight against RK-Bro. So many close calls in this march, as well as, an appearance by Omos. His presence allowed for Roode and Zigler to pick up the win. 

            Next, it is the official coronation of the first ever Queen's Crown. I am still highly disappointed that Zelina "Red Rooster" Vega was given the title. It is interesting to note that no one officiated the ceremony the way Kofi did for King Xavier. Instead, she is out there bragging on herself until Piper Niven skips her way to the ring. Now, we will see Piper "crown" Zelina in a special kind of way. However, Vega cheats and hits Niven with her scepter to steal a win.

                Before we get to the second match of the evening, we will have a few words from the Raw champion Becky Lynch. Predictably, Bianca Belair joins the conversation. She wants a re-match against Becky. Lynch tells Belair to get to the back of the line which instigates a brawl between these two athletes. At some point, these women will face each other again, just not tonight. It will be happening next week. Tonight, however, there is a championship match on deck and it's for the tag belts.

            RK-Bro are defending their gold against the Dirty Dawgz. Simply put, RK-Bro retain. 

            Now it is time for the fatal four way ladder match. I am totally on board for this bout. I can easily see any of these 4 superstars facing Big E. My concern is that the suits in the back are going to choose the "company guy" Seth Rollins to win. This was such a brutally beautiful match with Rollins emerging as the winner. The company guy now has a title opportunity and a new storyline.
