WWE Raw August 29th: Twitter Reactions & Memes

Kevin Owens has officially become the WWE Universal Champion (WWE.com)

Tonight’s Monday Night Raw was quite shocking to say the least. In the show’s main event, Triple H made a sudden return, attacking Seth Rollins and helping Kevin Owens win the WWE Universal Championship. The crowd in Houston went wild, as did thousands of WWE fans on social media, who were rooting for Owens but were dreading a possible Roman Reigns victory.

And that wasn’t all. There was also an incredible tag team match that saw Bayley teaming up with The New Day to fight Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows and Dana Brooke. Bayley had immediate chemistry with The New Day, and the team ultimately emerged victorious. Plus, Chris Jericho and Neville had a pretty entertaining match, as did Cesaro and Sheamus.

The only low points for a lot of fans were the match between Titus O’Neil and Darren Young and a segment between Paul Heyman and Stephanie McMahon, during which the two discussed Brock Lesnar’s behavior at SummerSlam.

As usual, Twitter was full of Raw reactions all throughout the show, with several WWE-related terms trending and with thousands of users sharing their favorite memes. Presented in the order that they were posted, here are some of the best reactions from August 29th’s episode of Monday Night Raw.

Opening Segment

Huge pop for Kevin Owens. The live crowd want it. The fans at home want it. Will Vince pull the trigger? #RAW

Jericho looks more like a sex offender as the weeks pass. #RAW

— Brother Henry (@Jeremy8911) August 30, 2016

I don't know how anyone could dislike Chris Jericho. He makes being a heel look so easy. Such a valuable asset to WWE, even at age 45.#Raw

— Robby The Brain™ (@RobbyTheBrain) August 30, 2016

Chris Jericho at 44 is better than most wrestlers half his age. #RAW

Cesaro vs. Sheamus

Well, it was a decent #Raw until Sheamus showed up…

— Jake DeMarco (@CountdownEnded) August 30, 2016

Sheamus loves being a jerk, a bully, a showman. He doesn't care what anybody thinks…Sheamus is just being "Sheamus." IT'S DAMN TRUE! #RAW

— Alexander The Great (@WWETheAlexander) August 30, 2016

So we really have to watch Cesaro and Sheamus fight 7 times with NO Stipulation?! ? #RAW #BestOf7

— Markell Bailey (@tenorbuds) August 30, 2016

This crowd really is quiet for this match. Blame the guys or blame the best of 7 series? #WWE #Raw

I hope they add some stipulations to the rest of these #BestOf7 matches to keep them interesting. #RAW

That was one of the craziest backdrops I have ever seen. Cesaro backdropped into ring post. Ouch. #WWE #Raw

Okay, that looked pretty rough on second watch. Hope Cesaro is okay. #RAW
