WWE Highlights:The Undertaker warned to Triple H and Shawn Michaels:Raw, Sept. 3, 2018

WWE Raw Results: Winners, Reaction and Highlights from September 3

Braun Strowman changed the game last week on WWE Raw when he aligned with Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre, turning heel and creating a stable that could compete with The Shield. This power struggle promises to define the red brand for months to come.
The September 3 edition of Monday Night Raw would continue that war, with Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose expected to make an emphatic statement. Elsewhere on the card, Shawn Michaels was booked to appear and speak on two men who have defined his career: Triple H and The Undertaker.
The Bella Twins also returned to action officially in a tag team match against The Riott Squad. In perhaps the most important match of the night, though, The Revival earned its second shot at The B-Team, challenging for the Raw Tag Team Championships.
With Hell in a Cell rapidly approaching on September 16, this was only the beginning of a night that would hopefully reveal fully Raw's direction toward a dangerous and brutal WWE event on the horizon.
The Locker Room Must Empty to Stop The Shield Fighting Strowman's Pack

Strowman opened the show with Ziggler and McIntyre at his side, explaining that he chose to align with the heels to form his own pack to make sure his fight with Reigns was fair. As The Showoff bragged about the new trio's coming dominance, The Shield headed to the ring.
The Raw locker room was emptied to stabilize the situation, and the wrestlers slowed the fighting enough to push the six to the backstage area where The Big Dog, The Architect and The Lunatic Fringe were arrested and driven away from the area.
 Analysis
While a little silly, there's nothing that sells heat like a pull-apart brawl. These two teams instantly came off as hungry animals ready to destroy each other when they get in the same ring without interference. You'd think the six-man tag was set for Hell in a Cell with this tension already built.
Strowman trying to talk down the crowd felt unnatural, but otherwise the promos before the fight worked. This heel trio has already been established as one of the biggest threats to The Shield in its entire run, hopefully leading to great matches such as The Hounds of Justice's wars with The Wyatt Family and Evolution.

The Bella Twins vs. The Riott Squad's Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan

2 OF 10
The Bella Twins took some time to get going, with Brie Bella getting caught by Sarah Logan during a suicide dive.
However, Nikki Bella got the hot tag, and Brie managed to eliminate Ruby Riott and Logan from the equation so Nikki could hit the Rack Attack 2.0 on Liv Morgan for the win.
Result
Brie and Nikki def. Morgan and Logan by pinfall.
Analysis
This wasn't a bad tag team match, but it was sloppy, especially Brie's offense. While Nikki looked to be in good shape after her time off, Brie did not look comfortable and hesitated on two suicide dives that both went wrong.
WWE is clearly treating The Bellas as big stars and featured attractions in the women's division with their return, but they will need to be better than this to earn that spot. Raw is already overflowing with good performers. Brie needs to be better to take time away from more talented women.



The Undertaker sends a warning to Triple H and Shawn Michaels: Raw, Sept. 3, 2018

Michaels laughed at the idea that Triple H would lose to The Undertaker at Super Show-Down.
He made clear 'Taker had lost his magic with his WrestleMania streak, and this brought out The Deadman.
Undertaker called HBK a coward who lost a piece of soul to him and never recovered.
     
Analysis
What did this segment accomplish? While it was great to have 'Taker and Michaels going after each other again on the mic, this whole segment said almost nothing about Triple H, who is the one actually fighting The Deadman soon.
It was a fun nostalgic moment, but unless The Showstopper is going to fight Undertaker again (which he shouldn't), this did nothing for the current product.
