Kicking off RAW is MizTV. Miz says RAW will not begin until Jason Jordan comes down to the ring. He says he's tired of being cheap-shotted on his own show and calls out Jordan again to finish what he started. Instead, Kurt Angle comes out. He says Jordan won't be on MizTV tonight because he has a match against Curtis Axel tonight. However, he says he has a guest that will exceed MizTV standards for him...Brock Lesnar. Lesnar & Paul Heyman come down to the ring and Heyman tries to talk, but Miz pulls the whole "when my hand goes up, your mouth goes shut" routine. Miz says that Lesnar is pretty much guaranteed to lose at SummerSlam and says good riddance to him. Miz asks Heyman if he has something to say, so Heyman picks up the mic and asks Miz if he & Maryse ever role-play, because that's what he's all about. Please don't put that image in my head, Paul. He says that Miz, Bo Dallas, and Curtis Axel are like Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe, and Braun St...

Johnny Gargano vs Raul Mendoza- Initially, Gargano comes out with his old #DIY song & entrance video, only for it to change into a new song & video. The two lock up to start and trade holds. Gargano takes control of the match with a variety of holds before knocking Mendoza down with a shoulder block. Mendoza kips up and the two go back and forth, trading roll ups before Gargano catches Mendoza with a schoolboy enziguri. Gargano goes to the wristlock, which Mendoza breaks and hits a forearm strike. The two run the ropes before Mendoza hits a running enziguri for a near fall. The two trade blows before Gargano connects with the slingshot spear from the apron. Gargano runs through Mendoza, connecting with forearms and a huge clothesline, only for Mendoza to come back with an enziguri. Mendoza goes to the top rope and tries for the 450 splash, but Gargano avoids it and locks in an over the shoulder crossface called the Gargano Escape for the submission win. Pretty solid match....

Welcome to another edition of RAW vs Nitro ! Click here to read the last one if you missed it. Now, I know it's been a while since I've come back to RAW vs Nitro, and I'm sorry for that. I recently got a new job and I'm still trying to adjust to my new schedule. I'm going to try to do a new RAW vs Nitro every week, but anyone who reads this blog frequently knows that the idea of me keeping a deadline is about as realistic as the Ultimate Warrior doing a clean job to Santa Claus, so take that with a grain of salt. So with that out of the way, let's get into it, this is RAW vs Nitro #50. RAW Steve Austin vs Jake Roberts- The two lock up and fight into the corner before the referee breaks them up. They repeat that spot before Austin punches Roberts. Austin goes to the headlock, but Roberts fights out and punches Austin to the ground. Austin rolls out of the ring before getting back in the ring, where the two go back and forth. Roberts catches Austin with ...

The two trade holds and go back and forth before Owens dodges a dropkick and clotheslines Styles out of the ring. Owens follows him out and clotheslines Styles before the commercial break. We come back to Owens booting Styles in the face for a near fall. Styles comes back with a dropkick before kicking Owens in the back and dropping a knee for a near fall. Styles suplexes Owens for a one count before beating Owens down in the corner. Styles tries for the Phenomenal Forearm, but Owens rolls out of the ring to avoid it. Styles is able to connect with a diving forearm to the outside, only for Owens to come back, flapjack him into the barricade, and nail him with a cannonball before another commercial break. We come back to Styles landing on his feet off a back suplex. Styles strikes Owens down and hits a sliding forearm before hitting the Ushigoroshi for a near fall. Styles goes for...
