The latest episode of Monday Night Raw saw an exciting line-up of matches, which was aired from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Monday (22 August). The main card of the event was the Universal Title Contenders match between Sami Zayn and Seth Rollins. Other featured matches were the WWE Universal Title Fatal 4 Way qualifier between Kevin Owens and Neville, Chris Jericho and Roman Reigns; and Rusev and Big Cass.
