WWE Monday Night Raw preview and schedule: August 30, 2021

Also,
two
pairs
of
former
best
buddies
The
Miz-John
Morrison
and
Eva
Marie-Doudrop
will
feature
in
singles
action
when
the
show
takes
place
at
the
Paycom
Center
(earlier
known
as
the
Chesapeake
Energy
Arena)
in
Oklahoma
City,
Oklahoma.

WWE’s
post-SummerSlam
build
up
began
with
United
States
Champion
Damian
Priest
interrupting
an
in-ring
promo
by
WWE
Champion
Bobby
Lashley
and
MVP.
Priest
challenged
Lashley
to
a
fight
to
which
Lashley
replied
with
an
attack
on
Priest.

The
pair
eventually
competed
in
a
non-title
match
which
ended
in
a
DQ
as
Sheamus
attacked
Priest
to
get
his
payback
for
his
SummerSlam
US
title
loss.

Priest
then
suffered
a
double-team
attack
but
Drew
McIntyre
made
the
save.
A
tag
team
match
went
down
later
as
Priest
and
McIntyre
picked
up
the
win
thanks
to
Lashley
walking
out
on
Sheamus.

Later,
The
All-Mighty
and
The
Celtic
Warrior
argued
in
a
backstage
segment
which
nearly
got
physical.
As
a
result,
a
non-title
match
between
the
two
has
been
announced
in
this
week’s
headliner
which
should
be
a
hard-hitting
encounter.

After
weeks
of
tension
between
The
Miz
and
John
Morrison,
the
post-SummerSlam
edition
of
RAW
saw
the
latter
getting
a
beatdown
by
the
Hollywood
A-Lister
in
a
shocking
turn
of
events.

It
began
with
celebrity
Logan
Paul
coming
out
for
a
Moist
TV
segment
with
Morrison.
Miz,
who
wasn’t
happy
that
Morrison
didn’t
introduce
him,
came
out
a
little
bit
later.

After
Paul
left,
Xavier
Woods
came
out
to
interrupt
the
duo.
Miz
then
faced
Woods
in
singles
action
with
Morrison
standing
at
ringside.
Morrison
tried
to
interfere
a
few
times
but
his
actions
back-fired
and
Woods
got
away
with
the
win.

Morrison
apologized
to
The
Miz
for
his
actions
and
tried
to
keep
things
smooth
between
them.
But
Miz
snapped,
attacked
Morrison,
and
left
him
lying
with
a
Skull
Crushing
Finale.

This
set
up
a
match
between
the
two
former
tag
team
champions,
this
week.
In
a
backstage
segment,
Morrison
also
claimed
to
put
an
end
to
the
partnership
when
he
gets
“that
son
of
a
b—h”
[The
Miz]
in
the
ring.

What
will
happen
when

@DoudropWWE
goes
one-on-one
with

@natalieevamarie
tomorrow
night
on

#WWERaw?

During
the
recently
bygone
editions
of
Raw,
it
was
randomly
teased
that
a
split
between
Eva
Marie
and
Doudrop
was
coming.
Eva
then
lost
to
Alexa
Bliss
at
WWE
SummerSlam
and
blamed
Doudrop
for
that
loss.

After
the
match,
Doudrop
also
announced
Eva
as
the
loser
of
the
match,
teasing
that
they’re
done.
Then
on
last
week’s
Raw,
Sarah
Schreiber
interviewed
Doudrop
backstage
and
asked
about
the
happenings
at
SummerSlam.

She
admitted
she
made
a
mistake
associating
herself
with
Eva
under
the
Eva-Lution
shtick.
But
the
former
Piper
Niven
did
like
the
name
Doudrop,
given
by
Eva
and
she
confirmed
to
keeping
it,
going
forward.

That’s
when
Eva
attacked
Doudrop
and
mentioned
how
disrespectful
and
ungrateful,
the
latter
had
been,
recently.
Afterward,
Eva
vs.
Doudrop
has
officially
been
announced
by
the
WWE
and
it
will
go
down
tonight.

The
Queen
is
back
on
her
throne
and
she
can
now
claim
of
having
a
dozen
title
wins
by
her
name.
Charlotte
Flair
won
back
the
Raw
Women’s
Championship
from
Nikki
Cross
A.S.H
at
SummerSlam
in
a
Triple
Threat
also
featuring
Rhea
Ripley.

Last
Monday
night,
she
claimed
of
being
superior
to
everyone
on
the
roster
in
a
long
promo
while
celebrating
her
title
win.

and
I
just

As
the
new
champion
was
about
to
depart,
she
was
interrupted
by
Alexa
Bliss
and
her
Lilly
doll
as
they
just
wanted
to
walk
by
to
say
hi.
This
appeared
to
be
a
tease
that
Bliss
is
now
targeting
the
title
after
moving
on
from
the
feud
against
Eva
Marie.

So,
a
fresh
program
is
on
the
horizon
where
Flair
will
have
to
deal
with
the
Twisted
Goddess
as
Raw
airs
with
the
latest
episode.
