WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW Highlights For July 1, 2019: New Day VS Viking Raiders, Lashley VS Strowman And More

The latest edition of WWE Monday Night Raw for July 1, 2019 took place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX.

Here is a recap of the most noteworthy highlights from this episode for those who might have missed it:

— In their Falls Count Anywhere match, Braun Strowman tackled Bobby Lashley into the LED boards on the stage and into the equipment behind it. It was rigged for pyro and explosion effects where the first 20 minutes of the show was dedicated to medical personnel and stagehands checking on Lashley and Strowman and remedying the situation.

— The New Day defeated The Viking Raiders by disqualification due to Samoa Joe interfering. This was turned into a six-man tag team match, which Joe and Viking Raiders won by submission after Joe took out Kofi Kingston with the Coquina Clutch.

— Backstage, Drake Maverick had brought his wife, Renee Michelle, to Monday Night Raw instead of their honeymoon, which forced her to give him an ultimatum: her or the 24/7 Championship. He said he chooses her, but immediately after, R-Truth came strolling by to say "Don't mind me. I'm just a sucker for romance." Later, Drake and Renee were sitting ringside for what was supposed to be a Cesaro vs. No Way Jose match. R-Truth came out as part of Jose's conga line and teased Drake, before being run off by the Raw roster. In that confusion, Cesaro took his anger out on Jose, and the match never officially began.

— Throughout the night, The Good Brothers poked and prodded AJ Styles and Ricochet to set the two up for a match for later on.

— Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre cut a promo on The Undertaker and how they aren't afraid of him, but when he came out, they retreated, so he cut a promo on how he would take their souls.

— Lacey Evans defeated Natalya by pinfall, with some help from Baron Corbin.

— The Miz defeated Elias in a 2-out-of-3 Falls match

— Mike and Maria Kanellis interrupted an interview with Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins to challenge them to a mixed tag team match. Lynch and Rollins won by submission with Lynch making Mike tap out. Maria claimed to be pregnant, but also said that Mike isn't man enough to impregnate her. She called Mike a disappointment and left him in the ring.

— Carmella interrupted A Moment of Bliss to call out Alexa Bliss on how she's been treating Nikki Cross unfairly and how Cross should have the title match against Bayley instead. This set up a match where Carmella instantly pinned Alexa. That was then followed up with a new match after the commercial break where Nikki Cross defeated Carmella by pinfall.

— AJ Styles defeated Ricochet by pinfall to win the United States Championship, but the decision was thrown out because Ricochet's foot was under the ropes. The match was restarted and Ricochet defeated Styles by pinfall to retain the title. Following the match, Styles, Gallows and Anderson attacked Ricochet.
