That was the case last night.\u00a0<strong>Seth Rollins<\/strong> and <strong>Daniel Bryan<\/strong> put on a show before you finally realized they were not feuding. Instead, Rollins vs <strong>Baron Corbin<\/strong> is the plan for Sunday. These two\u2019s first match of the night ended in disqualification when <strong>Rowan<\/strong> would slam Rollins with the Iron Claw, leading to chaos as the locker room poured out. It was soon be announced that the match would be restarted and for the 10 minutes the viewers could see, it was certainly exciting. Fans have realized by now (hopefully) that Daniel Bryan is still one of the best in the world. And pairing him with another who is viewed in that stature can lead to even more entertainment for the fans.<\/p>\n<p>While most tag team champions facing the world champion of the brand would usually be held in smaller regard, Daniel Bryan changes that. Bryan had never been beaten by Rollins prior to this matchup and the champ did all he could to survive. After two attempts at the LeBell Lock that would seemingly end the Universal Champion, Seth Rollins would battle back. Following his turnaround enzuigiri, Rollins would hit The Stomp to gain the victory. These 10 minutes were some of the best 10 minutes of Raw this year. Unfortunately, Baron Corbin was there to soil that immediately. But hey, if you want a match to watch from WWE television this week, this is the one.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Seth Rollins vs. Daniel Bryan: Raw, June 17, 2019\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RBPo77wu4Ew?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Raw MVP: Ricochet<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48900\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48900\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48900\" src=\"https:\/\/lwosonprowrestling.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/06\/RIcochet.jpg\" alt=\"Raw highlights\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/06\/RIcochet.jpg 500w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/06\/RIcochet-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/06\/RIcochet-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/06\/RIcochet-420x420.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48900\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: WWE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you have been reading my reviews for a long period of time, there is a consistent point in every Raw Rundown. That point? \u201cThe One and Only\u201d <strong>Ricochet<\/strong>. Ricochet has begun to really gain back the momentum he had when he was originally called up to the main roster. With two victories over <strong>Cesaro<\/strong> in their mini \u201cBest of Three\u201d series, it was clear he may finally be on the fast track for something bigger. That is where the Fatal 5 Way match comes in, as Ricochet along with <strong>Braun Strowman<\/strong>, <strong>Bobby Lashley<\/strong>,<strong> The Miz<\/strong>, and Cesaro would compete to become the number one contender at Stomping Grounds for <strong>Samoa Joe<\/strong>\u2019s United States Championship.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fatal 5-Way Elimination Match: Raw, June 17, 2019\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PeHxEfYO2qw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Fatal 5 Way: Ricochet vs The Miz vs Braun Strowman vs Bobby Lashley vs Cesaro<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Following two quick eliminations by Braun Strowman on Cesaro and Lashley, it seemed as though the \u201cMonster\u201d was on his way. Instead, the two eliminated men would take down Strowman, allowing Ricochet to hit the 630 Splash on Braun to pick up the huge elimination. It would then be down to Miz and Ricochet. Earlier in the day, WWE released a shirt for Ricochet with the new slogan of \u201cSuperheroes are Real\u201d. That would prove, as Ricochet would hit a Codebreaker on The Miz, leading to another 630 Splash to pick up the victory and send Ricochet to Stomping Grounds to face Samoa Joe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When the WWE utilizes their talent, good things can happen. Example, Ricochet. Sadly, that cannot be said about everyone else but that is a discussion for another day. This was by far the best Raw in weeks. And while that does not take much, hopefully we can move on from Baron Corbin being in the title picture after Stomping Grounds.
