Last Updated: Here are the major highlights from the latest episode of Monday Night RAW. In the latest offering of Monday Night RAW, held at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit before the SummerSlam, WWE fans joined in for an emotional tribute to the legendary Hulk Hogan, a main event bout between Jey Uso and Bronson Reed and other captivating tussles in the ring. Here's how this episode of WWE Raw panned out. Hulk Hogan Tribute, Nick Hogan Standing Ovation A packed audience at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit paid a fitting tribute to the WWE legend Hulk Hogan, who died last week at the age of 71 following a cardiac arrest. The legendary wrestler, renowned for his flamboyant appearance and imposing physique, enjoyed a massive following and stardom in the 80s and 90s. The WWE invited Hogan's son Nick Hogan to the stage, with fans offering a standing ovation to his late father and their favourite WWE great. A 10-bell salute was provided to Hogan at the beginning of the show as a mark of gratitude from everyone. Main Event: Jey Uso vs Bronson Reed; Roman Reigns Arrive The main event clash for this week's Monday Night Raw saw Jey Uso and Bronson Reed stand at loggerheads. The two wrestlers gave each other a hard time in an intense battle, featuring heavy moves that certainly took a toll on them. However, Uso eventually came out on top thanks to a disqualification following an interruption from Bron Breakker, who tried to spear Uso and support his longstanding ring partner. Moments later, Roman Reigns arrived and attempted a late save. But Breakker and Reed put the Reigns-Uso duo down with a double spear in chaotic scenes. Eight-Woman Tag Team Match Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, Stephanie Vaquer and Nikki Bella combined against Naomi, Chelsea Green, Piper Niven and Alba Fyre in a rare Eight-Team Tag Team face-off where fortunes shifted back and forth after Nikki Bella took a beating to start before she joined hands with Iyo Sky to execute Iyo's signature taunt. Both of them were later taken down by Piper Niven. Ultimately, however, Vaquer won the exciting match after hitting an SVB on Chelsea Green for the decisive moment. AJ Styles and Kabuki Warriors vs Judgement Day In a mixed tag team match, Aj Styles, Asuka and Kairi Sane took on Dominik Mysterio, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. The match captured the fans' imagination with the two teams refusing to give up ground. But in the dying moments, Styles executed a Phenomenal Forearm for her team's victory, having launched Kairi Sane into Rodriguez. Sheamus defeated Grayson Waller despite having to encounter a sudden interference from Rusev, who wasn't the one to take the result lightly, as he persisted with attacking Sheamus after teaming up with Shillelagh. Rusev rained on Sheamus' moment of triumph and set up what many are anticipating to be a 'Shillelagh on a Pole" match. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
