Here are five things Triple H got right on the August 24 episode of WWE RAW:

#5. LA Knight kicking off Monday Night RAW

This week’s episode of RAW was brimming with energy and fervor as the show descended upon the beautiful city of Ottawa outside the territory of the USA. What gave it a special feel was the show starting two hours early. Therefore, it needed a perfect opener to capitalize on the momentum and electric atmosphere, and WWE made the right call by having LA Knight kick off the show.

The Megastar showed up in the ring to a thunderous reception from the Canadian crowd. He delivered a vehement promo, targeting Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. The segment soon witnessed the involvement of Solo Sikoa and The Usos, making things quite exciting. It was a perfect opener that hyped up fans for the main event and set the tone for the remainder of the night.

#4. Setting up Penta vs. Rey Fenix for the grand finale

The WWE Universe witnessed two blockbuster semifinal matches in the Number One Contender tournament for the World Heavyweight Championship. With a coveted spot in the finals on the line, four luchadors collided in the ring where they put everything on the line. However, Penta and Rey Fenix eventually won their respective matches and punched their tickets.

The two superstars will now collide in the finals of the tournament to earn a shot at Roman Reigns’ coveted title. Penta vs. Rey Fenix is a dream match in the making, with the real-life brothers set to go head-to-head. Both wrestled together across the globe as The Lucha Brothers, making their first-ever singles collision in WWE a high-profile tournament final to determine Reigns’ challenger.

#3. Je’Von Evans giving Big Cass a tough fight

Je’Von Evans has been falling prey to Big Cass week after week on Monday Night RAW. But this week, The Young OG finally got a shot at redemption as he faced the returning star in a one-on-one bout. Many expected it to be a squash match with Cass defeating Evans in just a few minutes. However, the 22-year-old showcased a tremendous amount of resilience.

He gave Big Cass a tough fight throughout the match, backing up his words with an impressive performance. Not even for a moment did it feel like a one-sided bout, and much credit goes to Triple H for booking Je’Von Evans the right way. WWE ensured that the 22-year-old looked like a strong and credible challenger in front of Big Cass. While Evans may not have won the match, his fighting spirit left a lasting impression among fans.

#2. Oba Femi and Bron Breakker’s explosive segment

Bron Breakker and Oba Femi were under the same roof this week for a blockbuster contract signing, and what a segment it was! The two combustible elements tore each other apart verbally in a promo battle before putting their signatures on the dotted line. Breakker and Femi both took bitter jabs at each other and things soon escalated into a physical altercation.

Triple H masterfully orchestrated the segment as it was exactly the kind of intensity needed to hype up their upcoming showdown. Fans were desperately eager to see Oba Femi and Bron Breakker get involved in a chaotic brawl. While a full-fledged brawl did not break out this week on RAW, the two superstars still gave a glimpse of what they are about to do at Sunday Night’s Main Event.

#1. Royce Keys returning with an army of his own

The biggest highlight of Monday Night RAW this week was the main event where Triple H delivered a big surprise. The Usos were locked in a tag team match against Solo Sikoa and LA Knight, which was closing the night. During the climax of the match, Royce Keys made a shocking return. He showed up out of nowhere and speared Solo Sikoa and Jey Uso through the barricade. However, Keys didn’t come alone!

Two towering figures stormed into the ring immediately and laid waste to LA Knight and Jimmy Uso with a vicious onslaught. It turned out to be NXT’s prominent tag team of Bronco Nima and Lucien Price, collectively known as OTM. All three superstars launched a merciless attack on The Usos, Knight and Sikoa, wreaking havoc on them. Monday Night RAW ended with the trio standing tall in the ring, marking their blockbuster arrival.
