WWE Raw Results:
– Raw has NXT and Performance Center wrestlers as the crowd, standing six-feet apart, and separated from the ringside area with plexiglass.
– The show opened with Kevin Owens interviewing Asuka on The KO Show, formerly known as the Kevin Owens Show. They were interrupted by Charlotte Flair, who the Raw Women’s Championship should’ve been handed to her because Asuka’s never beaten her. They were interrupted by Natalya, and then Nia Jax. Asuka fought Jax, and Flair fought Natalya.
1. United States Championship Match: Apollo Crews defeated Andrade (c). WWE cut away from the match in the middle for an Angel Garza interview. Crews won with a standing shooting star press, winning his first championship in WWE. After the match, Crews was interviewed, and Andrade used one of the clangy poles to aimlessly attack the backstage area.

They’re kind of a big deal, even if they’re not. Or I guess I should say those problems were a big deal ’til you read this.
