Last Night On RAW: Kevin Owens Quits, HBK, Trish Stratus, Bella Twins, Braun Strowman
Below are some interesting things from last night’s WWE RAW in Toronto:
Kevin Owens, who suffered defeat moments earlier to Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins, grabbed a live microphone after his match and sat in the center of the ring to state, “I quit” before walking out.
It was announced that “HBK” Shawn Michaels will be on RAW next week to give his take on The Undertaker vs. Triple H for the last time ever on Oct. 6 in Australia at WWE Super Show-Down.
WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus appeared on RAW to confront Elias after insulting her hometown of Toronto. Stratus then politely asked Elias to leave the ring before the superstar singer remarked, “I don’t date women in their 60’s.” This was met with a smack across the face from Stratus. She made note that in about two months from tonight she will be stepping back in between the ropes to face Alexa Bliss at the Evolution event in New York. Trish stayed ringside while Natalya squared off with Alicia Fox, who was accompanied by Alexa Bliss and Mickie James, and was also featured in a backstage segment with The Bella Twins.
In a backstage segment with Ronda Rousey, Natalya and Trish Stratus, The Bella Twins announce that they will return to in-ring action next week on RAW.
Braun Strowman announced that he is cashing in MITB on Sept. 16 at Hell in a Cell pay-per-view against Universal Champion Roman Reigns in a Hell in a Cell Match.
Later in the main event Strowman teamed with Reigns against Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre. Strowman turned on Reigns and gave him a beat down with Ziggler and McIntyre.

Dean Ambrose Makes WWE Return From Injury
“The Lunatic Fringe” Dean Ambrose returned to action with a new look on tonight’s SummerSlam go-home RAW from Greensboro in the main event segment, joining Seth Rollins to deliver a beatdown to Drew McIntyre and WWE Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler. Ambrose had been out of action since December 2017 with an ACL injury.
The storyline is that the SummerSlam contract for Rollins vs. Ziggler has a clause in it that allows Rollins to have someone in his corner to even the odds as McIntyre will be in Ziggler’s corner. Rollins revealed at the end of tonight’s show that his former partner in The Shield will be there with him in Brooklyn on Sunday.
The dark main event after this week’s SummerSlam go-home RAW in Greensboro, NC saw Dean Ambrose return to the ring. Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor and Braun Strowman defeated Kevin Owens, Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre and WWE Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler in eight-man action.
