WWE Raw video highlights: Brawls open and close the show

With the Royal Rumble now less than two weeks away, last night’s Raw opened and closed with brawls to build to the upcoming PPV. Brock Lesnar returned to TV for the first time since losing to Goldberg as one opened the show, while Kevin Owens stood tall over Roman Reigns as it went off of the air.

Last night’s episode also featured a tag title match with Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson challenging Sheamus & Cesaro, Charlotte Flair attempting to embarrass Bayley ahead of their championship match, and a video announcing that Kurt Angle would be headlining this year’s WWE Hall of Fame class.

WWE also chose to handle Jimmy Snuka’s death by opening the show with a graphic mentioning it and airing a video honoring his life despite the third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter charges stemming from 1983 death of Nancy Argentino that were leveled against Snuka and only dismissed because of his deteriorating health.
