Tonight was the post summer slam edition of Monday Night Raw. It was also another Dominic

0:05.0

Mysterio main event and I have lost track of how many that is so far this year.

0:10.5

We're only, what are we at August, right? So we still have a few months left to go.

0:14.4

He may set the record, but the time this year is over 2023. The record may belong to

0:18.9

Dirty Dom as far as the number of main events on television. But we had another six-man tag

0:24.5

where he, I guess, one knee strike to the face and it looks like we have our main event

1:26.4

question coming into tonight's show. Now the Cody has vanquished Brock Lesnar. What do

1:41.8

you do with Cody Rhodes? Where does Cody go from here? It'll look like he was going to

1:46.1
