We are at the go home show for Summer Slam 1996. This episode of RAW was not the best but RJ and Justin made the best of it. The show was main evented by Shawn Michaels vs Owen Hart in a non title match; so you know it’ll be good. With Vader and Shawn scheduled for Summer Slam the coming Sunday the usual shenanigans were in full force as well; as Vader made his presence felt. Lastly, the company is very high on Faarooq at this time as they were planning on having him feud against Ahmed Johnson, but after Johnson got hurt and needed emergency surgery those plans were put on hold.
