Biggest Raw Moments - The Deleters Of Worlds Look Unstoppable
David Craig This week's Raw came hot off the heels of Sunday night's Backlash and suffice to say, the PPV didn't live up to many fans' expectations. It was always going to be a tall order for WWE to make it a big show though having just nine days to build to it following on from the Greatest Royal Rumble. Vince McMahon isn't the kind of guy to sit around and lick his wounds though and judging by the booking of this week's Raw he has already forgotten that Backlash even happened. Money In The Bank is the next PPV in a little under six weeks time and Monday night was all about the build to that massive event.
5. More Innovation From Dolph And Drew
Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler wouldn't have been two names that many people would have pictured together. Someone backstage at WWE had the idea though and so far it has worked out pretty well. They haven't had a real challenge yet though, and that includes their opponents on Raw this past Monday night. Ziggler and McIntyre took on Heath Slater and Rhyno and naturally made pretty short work of them. There was an amusing moment where Slater shouted 'welcome back' at his former 3MB teammate but he wasn't cracking jokes after that. The Scot hung his former friend upside down over the ropes so that The Showoff could super kick him and then brought him back into the ring via an Alabama Slam.

4. Debilitating The Big Dog
Qualifying for the Money In The Bank match was going to be no easy task for Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn and Finn Balor. The three of them had to compete against one another in Raw's main event with only one of them able to progress into next month's ladder match. The triple threat quickly spilled out of the ring and into the WWE Universe, at which point Balor saw an opportunity to eliminate The Big Dog from proceedings. While Reigns was prone The Irishman ascended a nearby barrier and performed a Coup De Grace onto the former WWE Champion. As impressive a move as it was though it didn't keep Reigns at bay for the rest of the match, although Balor still managed to pick up the win.
3. A Double Sister Abigail
Ever since Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy became allies there has been no other team that has measured up to them on Raw. Even the departing Sheamus and Cesaro couldn't stop them from becoming the Raw Tag Team Champions. Recently Wyatt suggested that the leaderless Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel should join their ranks, and perhaps they will after what happened on Monday night. The two teams went head to head and it didn't take long for The Deleters Of Worlds to pick up a win. They did it in a way we have never seen before too. Both men got Axel in position for a Sister Abigail and planted him face first into the mat together. Now that's teamwork.
2. Those Shoulder Tackles Keep Getting Bigger
When you're as big and as popular as Braun Strowman is you don't necessarily need to have a multitude of moves in your arsenal. The Monster Among Men has his powerslam, he can throw his opponents from one side of the ring to the other, and he squashes them like pancakes in the corner. That's about it and it works. That hasn't stopped the former Tag Team Champion from adding something else to his move set though. Strowman has been using a huge shoulder tackle with a big run up at ring side and on Raw this week Kevin Owens tasted the biggest one so far. In fact he ate three of them with the biggest of the trio flipping him a full 360 degrees.

1. And These Eclipses Just Keep Getting Better
There's no arguing that Ember Moon has one of the best finishing moves in all of professional wrestling right now. It's effectively a stunner from the top rope so whenever she does it, it's going to make it onto this list. Those Eclipses are only going to solidify their spots on these lists if they continue to improve in the way that they have been too. The last one we saw happened two weeks ago on Mickie James and the way the six time Women's Champion sold it made it look incredible. This week though Moon stepped her Eclipse game up once again. Sasha Banks was attempting to put Ruby Riott in the Bank Statement when Moon leaped from the top rope and performed her amazing finisher on both of them at the same time.
