"The performances on Monday's episode of "Raw" reminded fans that the WWE roster is full of talent capable of stealing the show at any time. JD McDonagh had an incredible showing against Sheamus, picking up the win with Finn Balor's help. The WWE Women's Tag Team Championship main event of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss retaining against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria was worthy of its main-event status."
"For example, on Monday's edition of "Raw," LA Knight lost his fourth singles match since facing Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship on Aug. 4. It doesn't bother me much that he will take on the winner of Saturday's Heavyweight Championship match between CM Punk and Jey Uso, because if he takes the title, he will still be a believable champion."
Monday's Raw featured several notable matches: JD McDonagh defeated Sheamus with Finn Balor's assistance, Bron Breakker beat LA Knight, Rozanne Perez defeated Nikki Bella, and Penta vs. Rusev ended in a no contest. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss retained the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria in the main event. LA Knight suffered his fourth singles loss since Aug. 4, raising questions about his momentum despite strong popularity. The distinction between when wins and losses matter was emphasized, with McDonagh's victory presented as meaningful for his character progression. A potential short-term partnership involving Stephanie Vaquer and Nikki Bella drew attention.
