Rusev just doesn't stand out at all in today's WWE
Some places do power rankings. Here at Cageside, we do a stock report. In this weekly series, we identify three Superstars (or groups of Superstars) who are on their way up, and three that are moving in the opposite direction. After a busy week that included Becky Lynch's proposal for Lyra Valkyria, Roman Reigns addressing Paul Heyman's betrayal, and Jelly Roll standing in the ring while Logan Paul runs into him, a lot of fortunes were changed. With that in mind, let's see whose stock decreased the most this week: On this week's episode of Raw, Rusev took his first singles loss since returning to WWE three months ago, falling victim to a Brogue Kick from Sheamus. Rusev has only had a handful of matches since coming back to WWE, and he's made close to no impact on the product. His work is fine, but watching him and Sheamus do battle does sort of seem like it's a time warp back to a decade ago, and I don't think that's a good thing. Nothing really stands about Rusev's gimmick today that seems like it's going to catch on and warrant a big push over the current crop of stars on the WWE roster. A-Town Down Under abruptly broke up this week after what felt like at least one full year of their story going nowhere. The official split happened in a backstage segment on Raw where Grayson Waller tried to align himself with the New Day after saying he was glad to finally have the 'dead weight' of the injured Theory off his back. Just like that, Waller has a new creative direction in WWE, while the guy who beat John Cena at WrestleMania 39 has never been more irrelevant. The megastar is nowhere to be seen on WWE programming since losing in a gauntlet match on the July 14 episode of Raw. His absence is tied into the strange circumstances surrounding Seth Rollins' knee injury. The bottom line is that WWE creative has nothing for LA right now, and it looks like he won't be booked in a match at SummerSlam. Now let's see whose stock increased the most this week: Kross is finally gaining traction on Raw as part of a program with Sami Zayn. Their feud is even getting a spotlight on the SummerSlam card, which is a pretty big deal for Karrion. There are a lot of rumors and reports about Kross' WWE contract status, and it's happening at a good time as more fans are rallying behind him. After being gone from WWE for over one year, Kiana James returned to SmackDown in a managerial role of sorts for Women's United States Champion Giulia. This is a very good spot for James to land in, because it should guarantee regular TV time for her during Giulia's current push. James would likely be lost in the shuffle in the women's division otherwise, but this spot gives her a good chance to show off her talking skills and get fans invested in her character. The build to SummerSlam has generally been rushed and underwhelming, but one of the bright spots is the angle between Styles and Mysterio. The comedy of Styles hanging around backstage in disguise to keep an eye on the cowardly Mysterio has been very effective at building interest in their Intercontinental title match at WWE's biggest party of the summer. There you have it, Cagesiders. Whose stock do you think changed the most this week?

WWE Raw Results: Roman Reigns And Jey Uso Reunite, Latino World Order Wins & More
Last Updated: Here's how this week's Monday Night Raw shaped up. In the latest episode of WWE Raw, which was streamed live from Houston, Texas, on Monday, July 21, Roman Reigns made his first appearance since his surprise return to the WWE scene after a prolonged break last week. The fans were also glued to the Women's Tag Team Championship Match and an intense No. 1 Contender Triple Threat Match, apart from other exciting battles. Here's how this week's Monday Night Raw shaped up. Roman Reigns Appearance We inched one step closer to the much-anticipated SummerSlam Tag Team battle between the Reigns-Uso pairing and Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker with a thrilling closing segment, where Reigns made his first appearance after a surprise return to the scene last week. Despite the numbers disadvantage, Reigns stood tall against the trio of Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. The four wrestlers jeered each other before the verbal feud escalated into a physical altercation. Just as Reigns appeared to be outnumbered, Uso arrived and rescued the former Tribal Chief. Sheamus vs. Rusev Reigniting their action-packed rivalry, Sheamus battled out a men's singles contest against Rusev. It was a rematch of their encounter a few weeks earlier. The fans were captivated by the intense exchange between the two wrestlers in the middle of the match. In the dying moments, however, Sheamus came out triumphant after delivering his finisher. LWO Hammer, New Day, and The Creed Brothers Executing a pinfall, LWO won the No. 1 contender triple-threat tag team match against New Day and The Creed Brothers after Joaquin Wilde rolled up Kofi Kingston. The match saw an interruption from El Grande Americano, who ran in to attack Dragon Lee at the ringside before Creed told him to leave. Soon, however, Wilde ended the showdown by executing the schoolboy pin. Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez (c) vs Bayley & Lyra Valkyria A highly competitive Women's Tag Team Championship match saw Rodriguez and Perez team up against Bayley and Valkyria. The intense but chaotic battle saw multiple interruptions from Dominik Mysterio, who was eventually kicked out by Rodriguez. Even AJ Styles appeared as a medic attempting to revive Mysterio. An interruption also helped the Rodriguez and Perez duo after Becky Lynch ran in and took out Valkyria. The duo then overcame Bayley and retained their tag team titles. Karrion Kross vs Sami Zayn Karrion Kross' exciting duel with Sami Zayn saw the two wrestlers land heavy moves on each other before Kross came out victorious after hitting Zayn in the ribs with a steel pipe. Kross maximised help from Scarlett, who had attempted to hand Kross the pipe earlier in the match. He then executed the pinfall for the winning moment. Stephanie Vaquer vs Iyo Sky In what could've been a thrilling battle, the Vaquer-Sky match had to be disqualified, with Vaquer declared the winner, after interference by Chelsea Green. As the Secret Service came to the ring to distract Vaquer, Green attacked from behind. Sky and Vaquer then managed to toss the group outside the ring to resume their clash. However, Naomi attacked Sky from behind. Rhea Ripley's music started buzzing inside the arena as she attacked Naomi before Vaquer and Sky combined to hit Green.
