Complete "Monday Night Raw" Spoilers for Tonight

It’s like a big DVR. “Monday Night Raw” is an up and down show almost by definition and it’s hard to say how things are going to be from one week to another. Sometimes the show is a blast and sometimes it’s little more than three hours of glorified torture. The latter is usually the case when the show isn’t live though and that rarely changes.

That would be the case this week as well as an annual tradition continues. This week’s show was taped earlier today in London, England, which means everything is taped in advance. Therefore, here are the full spoilers for this week’s episode of “Monday Night Raw”, courtesy of Wrestlinginc.com:

* The Miz vs. Finn Balor is next with Miz’s IC Title shot on the line. Balor controls most of the match after they got going. Miz disqualifies Balor using his GM powers but Ambrose uses his and re-starts the match plus bans Maryse from ringside. Balor gets the win with Coup de Grace and was over huge

* Bray Wyatt defeated WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose in a non-title match. The Miz was on commentary but interfered and hit Ambrose with the title to allow Wyatt to get the win with Sister Abigail. Miz cut a promo on how he will beat Ambrose for the title next week to end the show

Opinion: We’re getting close to “Extreme Rules 2017” and that means we need to get ready for the show. Reigns vs. Strowman is sounding like an interesting main event and they’re building it well, though the real story around here continues to be the Intercontinental Title scene. They’re building up the upper midcard scene and that’s going to help set up potential main eventers down the line.
