PLAY BY PLAY
Jey Uso walks through the concourse!
The fans back there are all fired up, and they “YEET! YEET! YEET!” as Main Event Jey says hit his music. TD Garden erupts as Jey makes his way down through the crowd! Jey and Michael Cole low five a couple times, Corey Graves only gets one, then Jey gets a mic. The fans are all fired up and they “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jey welcomes us to Mon-JEY Night Raw! “YEET!” Jey says Money in the Bank is Saturday. “YEET!” Only one person gonna snatch that contract! “YEET!” Not Carmelo. “YEET!” Not Andrade. “YEET!” Not LA Knight. “YEET!” Not Chad Gable. You are looking at Mr. Mon-YEET in the Bank, and his name is Jey Uso!
But speaking of Chad, here he comes! Gable has a mic of his own to say, “Enough! Enough of that word, I don’t even wanna repeat it.” The fans boo but Gable says, “Really? Well, for your information, you Boston idiots, yeet isn’t even a word! You know what is a word? Miracle! Look it up in the dictionary, you’ll find a picture of Chad Gable right next to it. Because what I’ve done the past two weeks is nothing short of miraculous. I overcame an attack from The Wyatts, I overcame my family leaving me…” The fans chant “YOU SUCK!” at Gable but he says he overcome two more monsters to punch his ticket to MITB.
So on Saturday, get ready to feast your eyes on another miracle, because Gable is gonna climb that ladder, win the contract, and become Master in the Bank! Gable steps into the ring with Jey and Jey asks what Gable’s doing out here. Didn’t the Wyatts get him already? “Get” him? Do they think he’s scared? He’s not scared! Jey should be scared! He stole the fireflies! Come to think of it, Gable is innocent. He was left high and dry by his family. The Wyatts should be after Jey, the man who abandoned his family! Jey says he told Uncle Howdy, he could take the fireflies. He can take the mosquitos, the roaches, all that.
Jey doesn’t want smoke with the Wyatts. But if we’re talking family, the Academy just did what Jey did: get out from under a manipulative scumbag like Gable! Gable fires off on Jey! The fans boo but Gable snarls as he stands Jey up. Gable whips, Jey reverses, ROCKS Gable, then ROCKS him again and again! “YEET! YEET!” Pop, lock ‘n’ put some stank on the HAYMAKER! Then a SUPERKICK! Gable is down, Jey goes up! But Gable scrambles away to the outside! The fans boo but Gable says Jey is so stupid! He’s not gonna just sit still and get hit! Wait. The lights start going out!! Gable, Jey and the TD Garden all panic as the piano plays!
Gable looks around, the spotlight starts shining on him as the fog gathers. The fans are losing their minds again, but Gable gets far away from the ring. He even goes through the crowd! The spotlight follows him, though, and then the eerie light shines from behind the stage! Gable gulps and goes back around to where the ladders are, but then another shadow is there! Gable keeps moving until he’s on stage right, only for a third shadow to be there! Gable runs up into the stands to get away! The Wyatts are continuing to haunt Gable, but then Sister Abigail drops off another mysterious package… Will there be another VHS tape inside?
Xavier Woods w/ Kofi Kingston VS Karrion Kross w/ The Final Testament!
The New Day got played like a bad video game last week, because The Final Testament made sure each man was isolated. Doomsday struck Kofi in the ring, The Authors of Pain struck Woods backstage, but now Woods looks for payback! Will the Power of Positivity prevail? Or will time run out on The New Day once and for all?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Kross wants a handshake? Woods says nope! He CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Woods whips, Kross reverses then runs in to clothesline! Kross then ELBOWS and ROCKS Woods! Kross snarls, reels Woods in and hits an EXPLODER! Kross offers the handshake, but Woods refuses, so Kross stomps him down. Woods fires body shots but Kross CLUBS him! Kross CHOKES Woods while mocking Kofi, but the ref counts. Kross lets off at 4, Kofi coaches Woods, but Kross storms up. Woods shoves Kross, DUMPS him out, then aims to PLANCHA! Down goes Kross and the fans fire up!
Woods gets Kross up to CHOP, CHOP and CHOP! Kross snarls, Woods whips, but Kross reverses! Woods stops from hitting post, then dodges. Kross avoids the post, blocks a kick, and he reels Woods in, to POST BOMB him!! Woods falls hard on the floor, Kross mockingly asks if he wants to shake hands now, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Kross has Woods down with a chinlock. The fans rally and Woods fights up. Woods moves around, throws body shots, but Kross ROCKS him! Woods ROCKS Kross! Kross ROCKS Woods, Woods CHOPS Kross! Kross CHOPS, Woods CHOPS, repeat! Woods CHOPS and CHOPS then fires off more CHOPS! The fans fire up and Woods whips but Kross reverses. Woods ducks ‘n’ dodges and slides, to then ROLLING ELBOW! The fans fire up, Woods runs corner to corner, and he forearm SMASHES! Woods goes up to rain down fists! The fans count along, but Kross stops Woods at 5. Woods dodges back to SUPERKICK!
Woods reels Kross in, but Kross wrenches out to HEADBUTT! Woods falls and fans boo but Kross soaks it all up. Kross drags Woods up on the apron, but Woods GAMANGIRIS! Kross falls, Woods goes up, but Ellering shouts at Woods! Woods tightrope walks, leaps, but into a FOREARM! Kross soaks up the heat while telling Woods he could’ve just joined them. Kross drags Woods up, the fans rally with “NEW! DAY ROCKS!” and Woods cradles! WOODS WINS!!
Winner: Xavier Woods, by pinfall
Kross got lost in the #Backwoods and The New Day is all fired up! But then AOP attacks! The fans boo but the sore losers TOSS Woods out, and Rezar drags Kofi up with both hands! Kofi lands out of the slam, Rezar runs up, but Kofi DUMPS him out! Kofi builds speed, into a KROSSHAMMER!! The fans boo but then AOP DOUBLE POWERBOMB Woods against barriers! Then Kross clamps onto Kofi’s arm with a top wristlock, and he just pulls! Kofi suffers at the Hands of Time, until Scarlett says that’s enough. The fans boo as The Final Testament stands tall. Woods drags himself into the ring to check on Kofi, but is this truly the end of The New Day?
Damian Priest & Dominik Mysterio walk the halls.
El Campeon says yes, tonight is a big night thanks to Liv Morgan. Hopefully, Dom will be done with his dad once and for all. Now, before they go into the clubhouse, did Dom talk with Rhea? Dom says yeah, and she’s good, he’s good, it’s all good. Is Damian good? Yeah, he’s great. But y’know who’s not? Rhea, because Damian talked with her. She is PISSED, dude! Oh… Dom says he’ll handle this. Damian says Dom’s been saying that every week, and yet he does nothing. Just once, do what you say you’re gonna do. Dom says this isn’t even his fault. Dom grumbles but Damian asks what he said. Dom says nothing, no big deal.
Dom and Damian then step inside, and surprise! Liv is already here, watching the guys play some more WWE 2K. Liv welcomes the guys and says she was just leaving. After all, her match is next. And good luck tonight, Daddy Dom~. Liv leaves, Carlito says he was playing as Damian. Damian doesn’t care. Dom has Carlito go back to the game and Finn talks with Damian. Damian says Liv hanging out here is not cool. That’s gotta stop. Okay, sure. But Liv did help bring the tag titles back to The Judgment Day. The real issue here is Damian. What?! Finn says Damian put his spot with The Judgment Day in jeopardy!
And let’s not even get started on what Damian said to Seth Rollins last week. What was it again? The Judgment Day needs Damian more than he needs them? Like they’re just his sidekicks or something? No, they’re not his sidekicks. But Damian didn’t say anything that was wrong, either. Damian is world champion. Of course Judgment Day needs him more! It was the same as when Rhea was world champ, Judgment Day needed her. Now Finn is tag champ again, so how about this? They all need each other. And as far as Damian’s spot being on the line, he has faith in himself, he’s gonna beat Rollins. He knows he can, that’s what he’s gonna do.
Finn knows Damian will, and ash is brother, he’ll have Damian’s back. But he’ll also tell Damian the truth. Ever since winning the world title, Damian’s changed. Damian scoffs at that as Finn storms off, but does The Prince have a point about The Punisher getting a big head?
WWE mourns the loss of Leati “Sika” Anoa’i.
“Prestigious. Ferocious. Influential. Iconic.” There are countless ways to describe the Anoa’i Family, it is clear they stand as one of the most powerful dynasties in pro-wrestling. WWE is saddened to learn of the passing of the great Sika, a patriarch of this legendary bloodline, “who established a legacy of dominance with one of the most imposing tag teams of all time,” The Wild Samoans. Sika was born and raised in Samoa then moved to San Francisco. Trained by his brother, Afa, the two would then become one of the most world renowned tag teams. Even legends like Hulk Hogan had to admit they had intimidating presences.
In their 30 YEAR career, The Wild Samoans would hold 21 total tag team championships, becoming one of the most acclaimed teams of all time, and were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2007. Mick Foley says those two were pillars of the Samoan Dynasty that leads to today. Sika instilled a relentless work ethic into the rest of the family, especially his own son, Joe Anoa’i, aka Roman Reigns. Roman is much like his father, a strong presence but a gentle soul, and has truly made his father proud.
The Anoa’i Family has created so many great Samoan superstars, and Sika will be remembered as a caring brother, loving father, and proud grandfather. Sika’s influence has ensured that the Anoa’i Family name will never be forgotten.
WWE Women’s World Championship: Liv Morgan VS Zelina Vega!
The Liv Morgan Revenge Tour isn’t done, but it has sure done wonders for Liv already. She helped Judgment Day get more gold, she’s all but has Dom wrapped around her finger, and most importantly, she has this title. At least, for now. Will La Muneca humble Liv and finally have some gold of her own? Or will the tour keep on rolling through the Summer?
Cathy Kelley is with Zelina backstage at gorilla, and brings up how Dom offered Zelina help in taking this title. Has she considered his offer? And how is she going to stay focused on Liv given all the chaos Liv’s caused? Zelina says like she told “Bootleg Rhea” last week, she’s not interested in chasing Dirty D. Now, she is interested in chasing that WWE Women’s World Championship. Zelina IS a champion, so Liv, and everyone who has ever doubted her, will see what a real champion looks like. Zelina makes her entrance, will she make good on that promise?
Raw returns and Liv makes her entrance, showing off the new shirt, “Liv’s Finally On Top.” The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly on top of the Raw Women’s Division!
The bell rings and the two rush in! Liv throws Zelina down then laughs at her. Zelina sits up, Liv grabs at her but Zelina arm-drags! Zelina tries another but Liv blocks. So Zelina just goes the other way to arm-drag after all! Liv gets up, Zelina runs up, springboard and wheelbarrow to arm-drag again! Liv runs back up but Zelina KICKS a leg! Zelina whips but Liv reverses, and Zelina hits buckles hard! Liv grins as she storms up on Zelina and puts her through the ropes. Liv hops on for a SLEEPER! The ref counts, Liv lets off, but Zelina BOOTS her! Zelina goes up but Liv ROCKS her first! Liv and Zelina brawl, but then Zelina slips down!
Zelina YANKS Liv’s head into buckles, then 619s the legs out! Liv staggers awya, but she hurries after Zelina. Liv HOTSHOTS Zelina, then SHOTGUNS her down! The fans boo, because here comes Dom! Liv thinks he’s here for her, but that might not be the case. Liv goes out, and Zelina gets her for a TORNADO ARM-DRAG! Then a METEORA to the floor! The fans fire up with Zelina, and Dom applauds, but then here comes REY! The fans fire up and Dom is wary of his dad while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Zelina fights up from a chinlock, but Liv knees her low! Liv waves at Dom, reels Zelina in, and snap suplexes! Then she spins through, Una Amiga! And then Dos Amigas! Dom and Rey are both upset by this, but Liv hits THREE AMIGAS! Liv gives us some Latina Heat! Then she stands over Zelina, ties up the legs, and now she’s taunting Rhea with the PRISM TRAP! Zelina endures and fights around but Liv keeps her from ropes! Liv digs her heel into Zelina’s back, but Zelina still fights! Zelina powers her way forward, but Liv drags her back! Zelina rolls and she sends Liv into buckles! Then she rolls Liv, SCHOOLGIRL KICK!
The fans fire up as Zelina bumps Liv off buckles! And again, and again! And then JUMP KICK! Zelina pushes Liv down, AX KICKS her, then lifts her with a foot. Zelina BOOTS Liv down, stomps her around, then puts her in the drop zone. Zelina goes up, up and MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO!! Liv survives and shocks Zelina! Rey coaches Zelina, she’s so close! Zelina watches as Liv slowly rises up. Zelina BOOTS Liv again, reels her in, CODE- CRUNCHY!! Liv sits on the cover, but Zelina manages to sunset flip! TWO, and Liv ENZIGIRIS! Cover, TWO!! Zelina survives but Liv has a crazy smile on her face…
Liv blows a kiss to Dom and Dom tries not to smile. Liv pushes Zelina around, puts her in a corner, then hoists her up top. Liv climbs, the fans taunt Dom, “SHAVE YOUR MUSTACHE!” Liv and Zeilna brawl up top! Zelina fires hands, CLUBS Liv again and again and again and again! Liv wobbles, Zelina SMACKS her off buckles! Zelina rises up and hops on again, SUPER CODE RED!! But Liv flounders and flops all the way out of the ring! The fans boo and Zelina is beside herself! Zelina hurries out after Liv, gets her back up, but Liv RAMS her into the apron! Liv storms up on Zelina, pushes her into the ring, then hurries in.
Dom and Rey both coach Zelina but they argue with each other. Rey SHOVES Dom! The fans fire up but Liv WRECKS Rey with a dropkick! Zelina hits 619!! And then tilt-o-whirl, TORNADO DDT!! Cover, TWO?!?! Liv survives! Zelina wants another cover, TWO!! Dom slides in a chair, but Zelina says no thanks! She SMACKS Dom with the chair! But Liv is pissed! ObLIVion!! Cover, Liv wins!!
Winner: Liv Morgan, by pinfall (still WWE Women’s World Champion)
Dom can’t believe what just happened, even though it’s all his fault! At least, he did mean to help Zelina, not mess things up, right? Cathy Kelley interviews Liv to congratulate her, but also ask if she’s feeling like everything is going according to plan. Liv says she is the luckiest girl in the world! And her revenge tour is going exactly how she planned it. So she wants to dedicate her victory tonight, and all her future victories, to the most gorgeous man in WWE, Daddy Dominik! Liv kisses the belt, but will she ever kiss it goodbye?
Drew McIntyre speaks.
Wearing a #DMHunk shirt, he says, “I was screwed out of the World Heavyweight Championship by CM Punk, twice. And as a reward, I was sent right to the back of the line. The funny thing is, I’m at peace. And you wanna know why? Because I know if anybody gets between me and my goal from now on, I’ll do exactly to them what I did to Punk. And it starts tonight. Sheamus, and Dragunov. I’m gonna win. And then I’m gonna go to Money in the Bank this Saturday, and I do not care who is in the match. I know you’re full of hopes and dreams, guy, a lot of up-and-comers. You know who had hopes and dreams? Me.
“And they were ripped right out of my hands. And I’m gonna rip them outta your hands. And I’ll be justified. Because on Saturday, I’m gonna climb that ladder, retrieve the contract, and it is MY night. I will be World Heavyweight Champion. There’s not a thing anyone can do to stop me. Just ask the last guy who tried. Oh yeah! You can’t.” McIntyre shows off the bracelet he stole from Punk, but will he be holding onto something far more valuable in just a few days?
Seth Rollins heads to gorilla.
The Visionary is here, just days away from his own golden opportunity. He passes by Zoey Stark talking with Sonya Deville, and we see Shayna Baszler storm over there to stop that. Will Shayna get the Hunter to focus on her prey? Or will the Gladiator Gal finally get someone to listen to her ideas?
Seth Rollins heads to the ring!
TD Garden sings along with the song, “WHOA~ OHH~ OHHH~!” as The Visionary struts his way out. Rollins even climbs a ladder for the fun of it before he continues down the ramp. Rollins gets a mic, then revels in the singing before saying, “BOOOSTOOON~! Welcome to Monday… Night … Rollins!” Rollins says he is a Visionary, a Revolutionary, and he is Seth FREAKIN’ Rollins! Green confetti flies in and Rollins points it out. It is a sign! A sign that next week, at this time, Rollins will be standing here, once again, WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! The fans like the sound of that!
Rollins wants to get real, though. He is sure Boston will understand. He has a secret for us. He hasn’t said this out loud before but he wants to share it with Boston because Boston is a championship city. The fans cheer as Rollins points out the Bruins, the Sox, the Pats, and judging by this leftover confetti, the 2024 NBA Champions, the Boston Celtics! The fans fire up for that, then they cheer on the Celtics. Rollins says it was well-deserved for an incredible season. Rollins says Boston understands this secret, this thing he was about to say. “I need to win back the World Heavyweight Champion.”
Rollins has to have it! He cannot settle for second best or anything less than a championship. If he doesn’t beat Damian Priest at MITB, then he doesn’t get another crack at Priest while he has the title. And then Rollins has to reevaluate, “Who IS Seth Freakin’ Rollins?” He has to reevaluate his legacy. But the thing about him, when the pressure is the highest, that is when Rollins is at his very best! So Saturday, MITB, when Rollins takes that title Priest has been keeping warm since WrestleMania, Rollins takes Priest from The Judgment Day. But what we need to understand, it is not Rollins’ intention to break up The Judgment Day.
But without The Judgment Day, Priest has the opportunity to be the best version- Wait, here comes Finn Balor! “Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to one half of your NEW World Tag Team Champions!” The fans boo but Finn says he should be in a good mood tonight. But he’s not. He’s in a bad mood. In fact, he’s in a real bad mood. Wanna know why? Because everything around Raw seems to be changing. What it means to be in The Judgment Day is changing. Damian Priest is changing. And Rollins is to blame! Rollins says shut up! Priest is his own man! He’s making his own decisions. Rollins doesn’t put words in Priest’s mouth.
And Rollins doesn’t even think Finn is actually mad. No, Finn is jealous that Priest has the one thing Finn couldn’t get, and that’s the World Heavyweight Championship. But here’s the deal, Finn. Rollins’ beef ain’t with Finn, it’s with Priest. But if Finn wants to get in Seth’s ring, then he’ll knock Finn’s teeth down his throat! Wait, here comes Priest now! There’s the trap! They’re on the same page for one more week, so let’s go! Priest tells Rollins not to be paranoid, this isn’t a trap. Oh? It sure looks like it to Rollins! Finn’s ready to attack, too! Priest says this isn’t a trap, this is HIS business, and no one else gets involved in his business.
Finn and Priest stare down, but Priest tells Rollins he’s right. This is about Priest and Rollins, and just them. Rollins wants ot say Priest’s days as champ are numbered, but Priest says Rollins couldn’t be more wrong. The idea that Rollins still runs Raw, those days are numbered. Is that how Priest feels? Priest nods and Rollins says if that’s the case, then why wait until Saturday? Let’s just do this right here and now! Priest says yeah, let’s! But then Finn runs up! Rollins DECKS Finn, he and Priest hesitate, but then Finn CLOBBERS Rollins! The fans boo but Priest stops Finn! Finn is confused, but then Rollins runs up!
Rollins SUPERKICKS Priest into Finn, then he DECKS Finn! CURB STOMP for Finn! But Priest is back up! SOUTH OF HEAVEN CHOKE SLAM! Priest then makes sure Finn is alright. The Punisher & Prince get outta there with their belts, but will they both still be champion after MITB in Toronto? Or will Rollins force the issue of who truly needs who?
Ludwig Kaiser speaks.
“After weeks of continuous, hard fought battles, after proving what Ludwig Kaiser is capable of, after going toe to toe with Bron Breakker and being on the verge of beating him, here comes your fraud of a legend, Sheamus. To viciously attack me from behind, blindside me, purposefully trying to take me out, and ending up breaking my ribs. After so many years, Sheamus, so many accomplishments, so many people around the world looking up to you, you finally showed your true colors. You showed who you really are: You are nothing but a coward.
“Y’know Sheamus, before, it was about beating you. You were meant to be only one chapter in the story of The Rise of The Kaiser. But now…! Now, it’s more than that. Now, I will make it my only goal to come back not only to beat you but to embarrass you, to humiliate you, and to end The Celtic Warrior once and for all.” Then when and where will the Impeccable German return to go after The Fella?
Judgment Day regroups backstage.
Priest asks if Finn is okay and he says yeah. Priest is glad Finn is okay, but seriously, at MITB, the guys have to stay out of this. Priest has to do this on his own. Understood? Finn says yeah. Priest goes to get Finn ice, but if Finn (not) fine with that?
Women’s Money in the Bank Qualifier Triple Threat: Zoey Stark VS Dakota Kai VS Ivy Nile!
One final spot in the Women’s Ladder Match, one final chance to chase that career changing contract. Will The Hunter capture her prey? Will #CobraKai strike with no mercy? Or will the Diamond Pitbull sink her teeth into a golden ticket to Toronto?
Raw returns and Stark makes her entrance, followed by Ivy’s. The bell rings and Dakota DECKS Ivy! Zoey ROCKS Dakota, whips, but Dakota reverses. Zoey goes up and over to GAMANGIRI, but Ivy LARIATS Zoey! Cover, ONE!! Ivy runs at Dakota, Dakota dodges and trips Ivy up! Dakota spins Ivy on the apron to BOOT her! Dakota grins, but Zoey WRECKS Dakota with a dropkick! Zoey gets Dakota up and in, but Ivy DROPKICKS Zoey! Dakota ROCKS Ivy, brings her around, but Ivy shoves her. Ivy sees Zoey get up, so she KICK PUNCH COMBOS! The fans fire up as Ivy hits two targets at once!

Raw returns again and Zoey has Ivy up top! But then Dakota joins in! They’re all up top, and Ivy turns things into a DOUBLE SUPER BULLDOG! All three women are down but Ivy rises and fires up! The fans rally, Ivy ELBOWS Dakota, runs Dakota over, then reels her in to whip. Ivy runs at the corner, DROPKICK! Then GERMAN SUPLEX! Zoey is up, Ivy dodges her to tilt-o-whirl and RANA! Then a GERMAN SUPLEX for Zoey! Ivy gets Dakota up, suplexes, and the fans fire up! But Zoey gets in there to bring Dakota down! Dakota waistlocks Zoey, Ivy waistlocks Dakota! DOUBLE GERMAN SUPLEX! Cover on Dakota, TWO!
The fans fire up as all three women are down! Ivy grits her teeth, rises up, and she fires forearms with Dakota! Zoey CHOPS Ivy! Dakota ROCKS Zoey! Zoey ROCKS Dakota!

She distracts Ivy, then gets away! Dakota whips Ivy out to the apron, then DOUBLE STOMPS her down! But then Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn CLOBBER Kairi! Dakota is distracted by that, leaves Ivy behind but Zoey SUPERKICKS Dakota! Then Z 360!! Cover, Zoey wins!
Winner: Zoey Stark, by pinfall (advances to MITB)
Damage CTRL tried to improve their chances but got got by the wicked witches! Now the Hunter is moving on to even bigger prey! Will she bring down the briefcase and become the new Miss MITB?
The VHS is ready…
This week’s tape starts up, and we’re back with Bo Dallas and Uncle Howdy in their mysterious space. “How much longer are we gonna keep doing this?” Howdy smirks, and Bo asks, “What’re we even doing here?” Howdy asks if Bo honestly believes this is what he should be doing with his life. Bo says he was destined for this life. Does Bo think he’s special? Special? That implies others are not special, that there are those who are less than. That there ware those who deserve to be forgotten. “We’re the ones that everyone wanted to forget about. We’re the ones that everybody abandoned. We made them notice us.”
Howdy says, “There you are.” Then how does Bo believe he can bring “them” to life? Bo says they weren’t chosen. Just willing. Clay in the hands of the potter. Died to the flesh to become something beautiful. They have become a family. “We’ve become a family.” Howdy smiles, and Bo says even now, there are false prophets, belittling their family for their own gain! It is disgusting…! “They must pay for their sins.” And Bo thinks this is his responsibility? Bo says he is the Voice of the Reckoning. Howdy IS the Reckoning. They both say, “I am nobody. I am all of this. I set you free. I fere them from the cave. I AM NOBODY! I gave them a family! I made them beautiful! I am all of them!
“I am the reckoning!” And then Howdy’s just gone… Bo says he set them free. Then Bo becomes Howdy. “There you are.” The tape ends, but just what has Bo brought to life?
Chad Gable finds Otis in catering.
Gable sits with Otis but Otis wants to leave. Gable asks he hold on. Did they see that new Wyatt video? It sounds like they’re talking about Gable. Gable doesn’t know who else to turn to. Gable knows he was critical of Otis and his… choices. Gable called him a disappointment, a failure, and a blubbering idiot, but look. Those were hurtful, and Otis surely hates Gable. Otis says he doesn’t hate Gable. But he is not helping Gable. This is not the Academy’s problem, it is Gable’s. Yes, that’s true, but they’re after Gable now. Who knows who is next. It could be Tozawa, Maxxine, and even Otis.
Gable just wants Otis to know, if that happens, Gable will be there. Gable will have their back. Otis is still Gable’s number one guy. Maxxine & Tozawa walk over, Maxxine asks if everything is okay. Gable says yeah, everything’s okay. Gable pats Otis on the shoulder then leaves. Maxxine & Tozawa put their hands on Otis’ shoulder now. Will The Academy be alright without Gable? Will Gable be alright without The Academy?
Rey Mysterio VS Dominik Mysterio!
We saw these two have it out earlier tonight, and we’ve seen them go back and forth for years now. Could this be the last time father and son fight it out? Or will this only escalate the family feud?
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Dom wrenches and wristlocks but Rey rolls and handsprings. Rey wrenches, whips, but Dom reverses. Dom drops down then DROPKICKS Rey down! The fans boo but Dom soaks up the heat. Dom and Rey reset, circle, and tie up. Rey headlocks, Dom powers up and out, then drops down. Dom hurdles, but Rey stomps Dom’s dropdown!

Dom writhes, but Rey dusts himself off and “kicks dirt” at Dirty Dom, while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Dom has Rey in a corner. The fans boo as Dom whips but Rey reverses. Rey runs up but Dom pops Rey onto the ropes! Rey sputters, Dom drags him down to a cover, TWO! Dom is annoyed with the ref but his count was fair. Dom stomps Rey around, rains down fists, and the fans boo as he shouts, “I run this b*tch!” Dom goes back to Rey, drags him up and whips him to ropes. Dom UPPERCUTS Rey down, then covers, TWO! The fans rally for Rey but Dom stalks Rey. Dom slaps Rey around, talks trash, then stomps Rey in the corner. Dom digs his boots in, the ref counts, and Dom lets off.
The fans chant “SHAVE YOUR MUSTACHE!” like they did earlier, but Dom ignores them. Dom CHOPS Rey, whips him corner to corner hard, and Rey falls back!

Dom wants to get away but Liv holds him down! Rey drags Dom up by his mullet! Rey puts Dom in, Liv asks what he has against their love! Rey gets in the ring, Dom SUPERKICKS him! Dom reels Rey in, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up as Rey survives, and here comes Zelina! THESZ PRESS and fast hands on Liv! Liv and Zelina scrap, Zelina RAMS Liv into barriers! Dom DROPKICKS Rey onto ropes! Dom dials it up, 619!! Dom goes up a corner, but Zelina is there! Liv SHOVES Zelina down! But Zelina YANKS Liv down! That trips Dom up and he lands on his Dirty D! Rey runs in to 619 Dom while he’s upside-down! Dom flops down, Rey DROPS THE DIME! Cover, Rey wins!!
Winner: Rey Mysterio, by pinfall
In quite the bit of karma, Liv meant to help Dom and she cost him! Liv promises she can fix this but Dom doesn’t wanna hear it. What will Liv do to make it up to Dom?
Sheamus speaks.
“Last night was officially 15 years since the impossible dream was achieved by a pale skinned, redheaded, chubby kid from North Dublin. I got to step inside a WWE ring. I go to fulfill my dream and prove every single one of my doubters wrong. I got to step in there with legends, travel the world, and actually make a living beating people up. And tonight, I get a shot at another dream, by potentially becoming a two-time Mr. Money in the Bank. When I step in there with Ilja Dragunov and Drew McIntyre, two of the hardest hitting superstars in the WWE, make no mistake about it. This is going to be a war.
“Let’s talk about Ilja, too. A hungry young superstar from Russia, that reminds me of Sheamus 15 years ago, who’s tearing the place up. And Drew McIntyre, my so-called best mate who I know like the back of my hand, who’s constantly sticking his nose in my business. Friends like him, who needs enemies, yeah? Well, 15 years. Still as hungry as ever, and still putting on banger after banger! But tonight, I take one step closer to becoming World Heavyweight Champion for a fifth time when I qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match.” Sheamus gives a wink, but will the Luck of the Irish help him through the Russian and the Scotsman in his way?
Sami Zayn is here!
The fans fire up as the WWE Intercontinental Champion makes his way to the ring. He knows his match with Bron Breakker for that title is coming, what will he have to say about it? We’ll find out, after the break.
Raw returns and Sami gets a mic. But instead of being in the ring, he is on the steel steps as he hears the fans chant his name. Sami says he feels pretty good here in Boston. It feels good to walk back into this arena as THE Intercontinental Champion! Sami now steps into the ring and says when he won this title, he said he wanted to defend it against anyone, anytime. And we know the next challenge is set: MITB, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Sami Zayn VS Bron Breakker. Sami isn’t stupid. He hears the buzz and the chatter. It seems like a lot of people think Bron is going to run right through Sami.
And Sami gets it! He gets why people think that. Bron is an athletic freak, strong as hell, fast as hell, and is breaking guys in half every other week! So Sami will say this as plainly as he can just to make sure he is not misunderstood: Sami is going to beat Bron Breakker at MITB! The fans cheer, and Sami says he takes nothing away from Bron Breakker. But then here comes Bron Breakker! Bron gets himself a mic then steps into the ring with Sami. The fans bark and Bron tells Sami, “You gained a little bit of my respect last week, because everyone else back there is afraid of me. They see me coming in the hallway, they turn around, they go the other direction.
“But not you. You actually came to find me, and challenged me to a fight! You gave me an opportunity at the Intercontinental Championship. Which tells me two things. One: you got guts. Two: you have no idea what you’re in for.” The fans bark again, and Bron says this Saturday, all the respect goes out the window. Because in this ring, Bron will beat Sami down, decimate him, and become the NEW Intercontinental Champion! Sami says, “Do you know how many guys have said that they’re gonna beat me down? That they’re gonna break me in half? Do you know how many times, how many guys have done that?”
Sami’s been beaten and broken a thousand times, and a thousand times, Sami puts himself back together. That is the difference between him and these other guys Bron runs through. Sami gets back every single time, and if you don’t believe him, the proof is right here! Bron wants this? Good! Sami wants Bron to want this! To try his very best to take this from him! But if Sami really has to stand in this ring and tell Bron who Sami is, that tells Sami that Bron hasn’t done his homework. Maybe Bron isn’t as smart as he thinks he is. And maybe, just maybe, Bron isn’t as good as he thinks he is. Sami will see you at MITB.
The fans cheer, Bron nods and backs away, to then run up and SPEAR!! The fans are torn between booing and barking, and Bron stands over Sami. Will Bron do that all over again when the title is on the line? Or will this just be the 1001st time Sami puts himself back together to come out on top? Wait, Bron sees Sami get out of the ring. And he runs in around the way! But then Sami hurdles over Bron, and Bron rams himself into steel steps!! The fans are thunderous and losing their minds as Bron stands up again. Sami fires off on Bron, SMACKS him off the desk, then rains down fists! Bron gets loose, gets back in the ring, then runs up! But into a CORNER EXPLODER!
The fans fire up as Sami now takes aim from a corner! Sami runs in at Bron, but into a SPEAR!! Bron rips his shirt off and throws it away! Even after Sami retaliated, he still got devastated! Bron picks up the belt to hold it over Sami, will this be what we see on Saturday?
Backstage interview with Damage CTRL.
Cathy Kelley points out that Dakota could not secure her spot in the MITB ladder match, does this impact Iyo Sky’s preparations at all? Dakota says no, not at all. The plan stays the same. Iyo wills till win the MITB briefcase, and Dakota is so sick and tired of people getting involved in DMG CTRL business! Alba, Isla, and speak of the devil, it’s Lyra. The Morrigan says they’re so confident when it’s all three together. But they can’t climb the ladder for Iyo. Lyra will just get up there faster and take the contract. Dakota says no, because Lyra won’t even make it to MITB! But then Katana & Kayden attack! The six women brawl, but producers and refs rush in!
Adam Pearce shouts for everyone to stop, but clearly there are rising tensions in the Raw Women’s Division! What will it take to settle the score Lyra & KC Squared have with DMG CTRL?
Ilja Dragunov speaks.
“The Money in the Bank contract can take you from the dirty grounds straight to the top of the mountain. And I know everything about fighting from the bottom. To grit my teeth, endure it and suffer on my way to the top. So now it’s my time to breathe the air of a new level. Because a career can be short, especially when animals like Bron Breakker are trying to end you. But this revenge is a story of a different day. Because tonight, I will fight you, Drew. I will fight you, Sheamus. And I will win, go to Toronto on Saturday, and win the MITB ladder match, or… Die trying.”
Men’s Money in the Bank Qualifier Triple Threat: Drew McIntyre VS Sheamus VS Ilja Dragunov!
We’ve heard from the Scottish Terminator, the Celtic Warrior and the Mad Dragon of Russia, but only one man’s brand of brutality can win out! Who stands tall to capture that final spot in the Men’s MITB Ladder Match?
Raw returns and Dragunov makes his entrance, followed by Sheamus. Sheamus and McIntyre stare down, the bell rings, and the fans rally up. McIntyre and Sheamus talk some trash, but Dragunov storms up. McIntyre just pushes him away! Dragunov gets mad, storms back up, but McIntyre shoves him away again! Sheamus and McIntyre still argue, but then Dragunov JUMP KICKS McIntyre down!

Winner: Drew McIntyre, by pinfall
The Scottish Terminator continues on his path of redemption with this massive victory! Cathy Kelley interviews McIntyre in the ring, congratulating him on the win. McIntyre says he told us all he’d win this war, and that is what he did! Ready for more truths? McIntyre is walking into MITB this Saturday, and he is leaving Toronto the NEW World Heavyweight Champion! His mission is clear, but will McIntyre succeed and finally, truly, have his moment?
My Thoughts:
A great go-home for Raw to finalize things for MITB while still giving us great stuff for beyond that. More great stuff from the Judgment Day story. Priest catching Dom in his little lie was a good detail, and it gives the sense that Dom is starting to turn towards Liv in this raunchy little romcom. Dom of course plays a factor in Liv retaining her title, but nice turnaround as Liv then costs Dom against Rey. We might get a Mixed Tag out of that story at some point. Meanwhile, there’s tension growing between Finn and Priest over this “gentlemen’s agreement” Priest made with Rollins. Finn of course tries to still do things the Heel way but Priest wants to be honorable, which gets Finn beat up but Priest still stands tall. That go-home math makes me think that as far as Priest VS Rollins goes, Rollins finds a way to win.
With that, there’s a lot of moving parts in the MITB stories. Great promo to open with Jey and Gable each pointing a finger as to why The Wyatt Sick6 are targeting people, and that was a great way to bring out said Wyatt Sick6. Gable is definitely their prime target, and it was a good detail of him to again go scurrying back to Otis. Good on Otis to stay firm and say no, but Gable is doing that textbook toxic relationship thing where he promises to be better next time. I could see there being a Six Man Tag or even a Mixed Tag coming out of this, it’d make for a great way to get the Wyatt Sick6 going as in-ring talent again.
Another great promo from Bo as both himself and Uncle Howdy, who are of course revealed to be one in the same. This was a great continuation of last week, with the origins of this new Wyatt family being explained as a way for Bo to not only keep Bray’s legacy going, but for all the different superstars playing the parts of Mercy, Ramblin’ Rabbit, Huskus and Abby to keep their careers alive. Great promo segment from Sami and Bron, and Bron standing tall after three big impact moves back and forth was some good stuff. That indicates that Sami somehow survives Bron to retain. He already got Bron to “OLE” into steel steps, maybe he does that but with buckles in the ring to lead to a Helluva Kick.
Good match from Woods VS Kross but of course The Final Testament found a way to help Kross win that. That makes New Day 0-2 right now, and it feels like they need that missing piece back. Now, Big E may not be anywhere near cleared to wrestle, but he’s been traveling to do kickoff shows, so why not have him give his boys a pep talk so they can take the fight back to Final Testament? I think everyone would love that. Great Women’s Triple Threat tonight, especially with how it fed the other stories in the Raw Women’s Division. Zoey gets in because, well, she’s likely not winning but she’ll get a great showing. And then we got a very good brawl to set up a Six Woman Tag, DMG CTRL VS Lyra & KC Squared, though oddly Lyra, Alba & Isla makes a more logical trio to me.
And after some great promos to hype up the main event (including one where Kaiser gives as an injury update on his broken ribs; get well soon, Kaiser), we got an awesome main event Triple Threat. Dragunov got a great showing, but just as the match played out, it was very fitting Sheamus and McIntyre fought it out to finish. McIntyre winning was the right move, the clear move, and now there’s some real drama going into the ladder match. Sheamus will be fine, he can back track to the Intercontinental Championship because that’s still the one thing he needs to finish his checklist. But McIntyre could either win MITB, or get screwed by not just Punk but maybe even Punk’s wife, AJ Lee, as she wants her own payback for McIntyre making it so, so personal.
My Score: 8.9/10

What an insanely overpowered combo move to finish Hashi! But in the end, the power of the Empire’s founding members shines even brighter now that they hold gold together! Khan grabs the mic to say, “Bow down, you peasants! We beat ‘Bishamontin,’ we have dominated the NEVER Openweight Six Man Tag Team Champions. So next… We shall conquer K O B and the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships. And if they want to see us directly, we will forgive them if they dare step in front of us.” In other words, Khan is daring Oskar & Yuto-Ice to appear. And after a moment, they indeed appear!
The Knockout Brothers swagger down to the ramp and into the ring, and they stare down Khan & Henare. Henare has the mic to tell Ice that Henare doesn’t care what anyone says! Those tag titles are theirs, now bring them your mana! Yuto laughs at that and tells Henare that if he wants the mana, Yuto will bring him that wrestling high! They can make some money together!

And that seems to be these two here. Go ahead, challenge them! Because everyone here will put their money down to see it!
You don’t have to think, just feel! Let’s Get High! TCH TCH, Big Up! The champions have spoken, and they’re ready to face fellow champions to prove they’re the best! But will Oskar & Ice make sure to knock out Khan & Henare? Or will the Empire continue to conquer the world?

Judgment Day is in the clubhouse.
Liv Morgan says that Stephanie Vaquer is injured, no worrying about her anymore. But now to talk about the not so good news. Like what the hell was Finn doing in here last week?! Roxie doesn’t know, he must be delusional. Liv says she’s not worried about Finn, JD McDonagh finishes this tonight. Liv is worried about Roxie. Why did Finn think it was okay to talk to Roxie? Why didn’t Roxie tell them about it? Why did Liv have to watch it through Netflix to learn about what’s going on? Roxie says she didn’t mention it because she made it clear to Finn. She told him to get out and never come back. But Liv’s right, Roxie should’ve said something.
But don’t worry! Roxie’s loyal to Judgment Day, they know that. Yes, Liv is glad to hear that, because she believes in Roxie. Roxie & Raquel are going to be the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, they just can’t let anything get between the family. Promise Liv that you won’t keep secrets, Roxie. Roxie promises. Promises what…? That she will never keep any secrets from Judgment Day. Good. So they ready? Liv, Dom & JD head out, and Raquel pats Roxie on the head. But will things be (not) fine for Judgment Day?

Jackie Redmond apologizes to The Architect for bothering him, as he is clearly in pain after that vicious assault from Bron Breakker. But what does this mean for Backlash. Will Rollins be okay? Rollins says Backlash is in five days, he’ll be fine. Rollins told “the kid” last week, that if you take your shot, you better be able to finish the job. Rollins ain’t dead yet. Rollins storms off, will he be able to game plan a way to get around Bron’s speed, strength, and ruthless aggression?
The Vision regroups backstage.

I’m the best wrestler in the world! Quack!” Austin Theory joins in, “Lemme sing my song! Quack quack!” Paul Heyman walks in and says, “Is Seth Rollins still breathing?” Bron says yes, he is.

Heyman says that’s why tonight, Logan is not fighting Joe Hendry. W-What?!
Heyman says Bron almost got suspended again, Brock Lesnar retired on us, and if Logan were to get his hands on Hendry, he’ll be put in jail for what he does to him! That’s why tonight, it is Joe Hendry VS Austin Theory. Theory says it’s alright, Maverick. If Logan wants Hendry smacked around, Theory will smack him around. If Logan wants Hendry hurt, Theory will hurt him. He’ll put the Pressure on Hendry, and Logan can just watch. Bron says relax, you’re THE Logan Paul. Vision will get ’em all, one by one.

Ethan CLUBS Penta, soaks up heat, and Rusev runs up on Evans! Evans hurdles, Rusev crashes into steel steps! Penta dodges Twisted Grin to BACKSTABBER! The fans fire up as Penta crawls! Hot tag to Evans and Omaha erupts! Evans BOOTS, SUPERKICKS, then LARIATS Ethan! And goes Matrix to dodge, kip up and STUNNER! Ethan wobbles, Evans WRECKS Rusev, then he slips around to GERMAN SUPLEX Ethan! The fans fire up as Evans builds speed to FLY! #WeOutside! Evans throws off his shirt, springboards back in, FLYING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Ethan survives, he isn’t a former NXT Champion for nothing!
The fans rally for Evans, he goes up a corner, and he MOONSAULTS, but Ethan gets under! ROUNDHOUSE! Ethan reels Evans in, TWISTED- NO, Evans pops free to SUPERKICK! Evans runs, but Ethan BOOTS him first! Ethan whips, but Evans rebounds, RED DOT GAMANGIRI! Hot tag to Penta, springboard TORNADO DDT! Cover, but Rusev breaks it! Evans goes after Rusev but Rusev shoves him away. Evans DUMPS Rusev out, then DIVES! Another hit on Rusev, and now he’s on the desk! The fans are thunderous as they see that look in Evans’ eyes! Evans hurries to the corner and climbs up top!
The fans are going nuts already, but Etan SHOVES Evans down! Penta SUPERKICKS Ethan! Penta then slingshots to- NO, Ethan dodges and SWEEPS the leg! Penta is down but the ref won’t let Ethan go after him. Rusev handles that with an URENAGE on the desk! Rusev feeds Penta to Ethan, FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, ETHAN & RUSEV WIN!
Winners: Rusev & Ethan Page, by pinfall
Both Bulgarian Brute and All Ego have sinister grins on their face, and they celebrate their victory! Not too buddy-buddy, of course. But will these two both have their shot at Penta’s Intercontinental Championship?
Adam Pearce is in the ring.
“When I was a coach in NXT, my favorite, my absolute favorite days, was when a surefire, can’t-miss, blue chip future superstar saw their dreams come true when they got the opportunity to sign one of these to join Raw or SmackDown. Guys, today is one of those days. Let’s take a look.” The fans cheer as we get a highlight reel of the former NXT Women’s North American & WWE Speed Women’s Champion, and Pearce asks we all welcome the newest Raw superstar, Sol Ruca! Sol makes her entrance with a new song, and high-fives fans as she heads down the ramp. Sol joins Pearce in the ring, grabs herself a mic, and Pearce congratulates her.
The fans cheer and Sol smiles as she takes the contract. “Damn. It is going to feel so damn good when I sign this and officially be a part of Monday Night Raw.” But wait, Becky Lynch is interrupting! Pearce is upset as the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion storms her way to the ring. Becky grabs herself a mic to tell Petty Pearce that she’s been looking for him all day! She was told that THIS would be her time for her Celebration of Greatness! Who told her that?! Doesn’t matter, she knows they were a very credible, reliable source. But point is, after her monumental WrestleMania moment, Pearce came out and illegally sanctioned a match with “Iyo Jennetty.”
Which explicitly went against the parameters of her open challenge! But even with that meddling, Becky won! Uncontroversial because she’s the greatest female wrestler of all time, and it’s not just her saying it, other people say it. Sports Illustrated says it, Bleacher Report says it! Sol asks Becky, “Are you done?!” Becky says no, actually, and she’s also a New York Times best seller. Sol says not everything is about Becky. Becky says okay, okay, Sol is very new here, but the sooner she learns this the better. Everything is about her! Well, not this. Everyone knows who Becky is, we know what Becky’s done and accomplished.
But the thing is, Sol didn’t expect to find out that upon meeting Becky, Becky is exactly what everyone says she is. W-Which is? The Man? The history maker? The ground breaker? No. They say Becky is a rude, big-headed B*TCH! And it’s not just Sol saying it, it’s New York Times, Sports Illustrated- Becky says Pearce may be terrible at her job, but is he really letting Sol talk to her like this?! Becky asks if the fans are letting Sol talk to her like this. “YES!” Becky is flabbergasted but the fans cheer Sol on. Becky ask who even is this, and Sol finishes singing her contract. This is Sol Ruca, and if you ever interrupt her again, not only will Sol kick your ass, but she’ll snatch your soul.
Becky takes a swing, Sol dodges, so the punch hits PEARCE! Oops! Becky apologizes but Pearce is furious! Sol smiles as Becky panics, and then she runs up to use the corner! SOUL SNATCHER! The Man is down! Is Sol about to turn the tides and wash away Becky’s big time ego?
The Usos are backstage.
Jackie Redmond catches them as they head for Roman Reigns’ room, and asks them how they’re feeling ahead of the contract signing. Jimmy says it is a big night! Contract signing night between OTC and Samoan Werewolf, and they wouldn’t miss this for nothing. Now, they got a lot of love for Jacob, but Jacob needs to understand how OTC does business, especially when there’s championship gold on the line. Ya feel ’em? Jackie understands, but aren’t they conflicted considering their relationship with both? Jey says nah, Jackie, this right here is family bidness, plain and simple. OTC knows how to handle himself. The Usos are just in case something pops off.
But Jacob, The Usos already told you, Uce! You swimming in deep water now. You bit off more than you can chew. You’re swinging for the fences, though! But they respect that, aight? But Jey is telling you, The Bloodline has been drawn! And at Backlash, you gonna find out who you messing with, Jacob. Good luck, lil’ cousin. YEET. The Usos then step inside Roman’s room. What will the OG Bloodline discuss in regards to this very same family business?
Austin Theory w/ The Vision VS Joe Hendry!
The Vision were a bit… triggered, perhaps, by what The Prestigious Joe Hendry joked about during his concert. But will Hendry feel the Pressure here tonight? Or will Omaha be full of believers after tonight?
Raw returns as Hendry continues his concert where it left off! “He’s one amazing athlete, but he’s a piece of trash! He can shove his trading cards directly up his.. Paul! Paul! Can we fire Logan Paul? Everyone! Paul! Paul! Can we fire Logan Paul?” Logan storms out and shouts that he thought he made it clear that Hendry cannot fire Logan Paul! He is UN-FIREABLE! TKO cannot fire Logan, that’s bad business! Logan IS business! Logan is the heart and soul of the WWE! Hendry says he knows Logan is upset, and he’s glad to see Logan, because this part of the song is the apology. It goes like this: “Paul, Paul, can we fire Logan Paul?”
Logan swears to kill Hendry, but Theory runs up! The bell rings, Hendry fires hands, then LAIRATS Theory up and out of the ring! The fans cheer, Logan tells Theory to handle this! Theory and Logan reset, circle, but the Logan shouts at Hendry. That distraction lets Theory CLOBBER Hendry from behind! The fans boo but Theory CLUBS away on Hendry. Theory then clamps onto Hendry to throw hands right into the side of his head! The fans boo more but Theory CLOBBERS Hendry again! Theory & Logan soak up the heat, then Theory slaps Hendry around. Theory scoops to hit a BACKBREAKER! Theory and Logan fire each other up, but the ref has Logan back off.
Theory stands Hendry up, but Hendry UPPERCUTS and CHOPS and repeat! Hendry whips corner to corner, Theory reverses hard, and Hendry falls to the mat. Theory rains down fists, talks trash, but the fans chant, “Logan Sucks! Logan Sucks!” Logan shouts back that he does not, and Theory goes back to Hendry. Theory drags Hendry up, talks trash, and snap suplexes! “Who sucks now?!” The Vision soaks up more heat, then Theory drags Hendry up. Theory talks more trash, but Hendry suplexes Theory now! The fans cheer while Logan is already upset again. Hendry rises, the fans rally behind him, and Hendry fires haymakers!
Hendry whips Theory to ropes to then LARIAT! Theory flounders from taking the “Commonwealth Clothesline,” and Hendry runs to LARIAT in the corner! Hendry keeps moving, but Theory blows past! Only for Hendry to catch him! FALL AWAY SLAM! And then a kip up, for the… TURN! The fans cheer, but LOGAN ATTACKS!
Winner: Joe Hendry, by disqualification
The fans boo but Logan HAMMERS away on Hendry! Logan hands Hendry the win but he snarls as he tells Hendry, “Nobody can fire me!” Hendry fires off fists! Theory goes after Hendry, the fans boo as The Vision mugs Hendry! They stomp and punch away, but here come the Street Profits! Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins again take the fight to The Vision! SUPERKICK for Logan! Then Ford spins Theory around to ENZIGIRI! Dawkins takes Theory for THE SILENCER! The fans pump it up for The Profits, and Dawkins Electric Chair Lifts Theory! Ford climbs up, but BRON runs in! Bron THROWS Ford out of the ring! Then Bron CLOBBERS Dawkins!
The fans bark as Bron then GERMAN SUPLEXES Dawkins! The Unpredictable Badass turns the tides, but SETH ROLLINS trips him up! The fans cheer as Rollins gets revenge with furious fists! Rollins THROWS Bron into steel steps! Rollins stomps away, then they brawl in the ring! Rollins rains down fists while the fans cheer! Rollins BLASTS Logan & Theory off the apron, then LARIATS Bron down! Omaha is erupting as Rollins is shaking the ropes! Rollins aims, but hold on! Ford FLIES out to take out Logan & Theory! But Bron SPEARS Rollins in the distraction! Bron snarls as he tells Rollins he was that close.
Bron leaves Rollins down again, but he’s still roughed up himself. Will either man survive the Backlash?
Backstage interview with Judgment Day.
Jackie is now with Liv, Dom, JD, Raquel & Roxie, and brings up them sending a message to Finn. But what is the focus moving forward? Liv says yeah, you saw what they did to Finn tonight, and to Vaquer last week. The focus is getting all the gold and crushing anyone who gets in their way. And this season is all about Raquel & Roxie! Tell her, sister! Raquel warns Brie Bella & Paige that their nostalgia tour was cute for a night, but it’s time to get serious. She wants them both to come to their show, because- Bayley & Lyra Valkyria step in, and The Role Model says, “Well, well, well. Wouldya look at here? Can anyone in the Judgment Day get anything done on their own?”
Bayley has known them all for so long and she is just finally getting it. Lyra says they weren’t gonna forget what happened to them last week, either. If they’re such a big happy family, then they won’t be afraid to take them on. Liv mocks them and says families help each other win. Try it sometime, losers. Bye~! Bye~! Judgment Day leaves, but will #BayLyra humble them soon enough? And what of Brie & Paige answering the challenge to show up on “Judgment Day’s show?”
The Ruler’s Open Challenge: Oba Femi VS ???
With champions either too busy, too lazy, or perhaps too afraid to accept a challenge, The Ruler is making HIMSELF into the challenge! Who will answer the call, and who will be thrown from the mountaintop in Omaha?
Oba has the mic to say,” The time has come. The Oba Femi Open Challenge will now begin.” And it’s AKIRA TOZAWA that answers the call! He is accompanied by Maxxine Dupri & Otis, but can The Stamina Monster even survive?
The bell rings and Tozawa steps up to be face to… chest with Oba… Tozawa gest scared, but Otis says that’s okay, HE will step up. Even Oba likes the look of this! The bell rings, and the two tie up. They’re in a deadlock, but Oba SHOVES Otis! That alone is impressive, but Otis comes back to RAM Oba! Oba stays put and the fans continue to cheer. Oba and Otis are forehead to forehead, then Oba RAMS Otis! Otis doesn’t budge and the fans cheer! They start shoving, then Otis rips his shirt away! Oba RAMS Oba, Oba RAMS Otis, but Otis dodges! Only for Oba to UPPERCUT Otis down! Oba then hauls Otis up, for a SUPER SHOTPUT!
The fans are thunderous as Oba is fired up, and he watches Otis slowly get up. Even Oba is wondering if this is possible, but he kicks Otis first. Oba nods and says he knows how to get this done. Oba hoists Otis up the corner, then gets under Otis, for a SUPER SIZED FALL FROM GRACE!! Cover, Oba wins!
Winner: Oba Femi, by pinfall
The first challenge was already a big challenge, but Oba was still up to the challenge! And after seeing that, will anyone even want to step up next week?
Refs check on Rollins backstage.
Rollins insists that despite how he looks, he is fine. Just leave him alone. Rollins sees Hendry & The Profits, and he “thanks” Montez Ford for setting him up for that second spear. Ford says thanks to Rollins’ past antics, nobody, and Ford means NOBODY, trusts Rollins! Oh, wow, nobody? Ford doesn’t trust him, Dawkins doesn’t trust him, Rollins doesn’t even know Hendry but Hendry probably doesn’t trust him. Guess what? Rollins doesn’t even trust himself! But who cares!? They’re in the same fight! They’re all after The Vision, so those fights are gonna come together! But here’s the deal: They stay out of Rollins’ way, he’ll stay out of theirs. Got it?
Rollins storms off, but does he have it all backwards? Shouldn’t they all work together if they want to tear The Vision down?
Adam Pearce mediates a meeting between Iyo Sky and Asuka.
The Raw General Manager knows these two are set to face off at Backlash, so the floor is theirs. Iyo starts by telling “Asuka-san, I have avoided this fight for years. You know this. You are exactly what you say you are: my senpai; my mentor; I looked up to you. I loved you. And despite everything you have done to me, I still have the utmost respect for you. I never wanted to have this fight, and I never wanted it to come to this. But… You have changed.” Asuka says nothing has changed, but Iyo says yes, she has! The Asuka that Iyo looked up to is no longer here! Now, Iyo has no choice but to fight Asuka.
Asuka says Iyo continues her disrespect, so the Iyo that Asuka taught is no longer here, either! This person sitting here, who are you? “I don’t know anyone this disrespectful. Who are you?” Asuka says this is her biggest disappointment! Do you not get how she feels?! Asuka is done with Iyo. At Backlash, Asuka cuts Iyo out of her life for good. Iyo says fine, she understands. Because she IS ready for Asuka! Asuka rolls her eyes, then leans in close, to MIST IYO RIGHT IN THE FACE!! Pearce is furious, has Asuka get out of here, and shouts for a doctor! The Empress of Tomorrow shows no remorse, but will The Genius show no mercy at Backlash?
Backstage interview with El Grande Americano Original and…?
Jackie is with Chad G- er, uh, the Original EGA and The Creed Brothers, who are now “Los Americanos Hermanos,” The American Brothers… After that surprise attack on the other El Grande Americano at AAA during the Mask VS Mask contract signing, how are they feeling going into this trios match? Well, thankfully, the No Physicality Agreement was for Mexico. That means here in Middle America, all bets are off! Now, the boys saw how they great EGA Original in AAA, it’s ridiculous! So they decided to do the honorable thing and help him out. They take inspiration from a close personal friend of his, Chad Gable, still sidelined with injury.
But on May 30th, we find out once and for all that there is only ONE El Grande Americano, and you’re lookin’ at him! The ORIGINAL El Grande Americano! AH GRACIAS~! Los Americanos Original heads to the ring, but will this be an American made victory? Or will the real Americanos please stand up?
Six Man Tag: Los Americanos VS Los Americanos Original!
Raw returns as the other Los Americanos make their entrance. The trios sort out, but then El Grande Dos throws his cape at Original! The brawl is on and the fans fire up! The fists fly, but “Julio” DUMPS Rayo out, then “Bruto” ROCKS Bravo! The brothers THROW Bravo out before Original LARIATS Americano Dos out! The fans cheer, “AH GRACIAS~!” Bravo rushes in, Bruto FLAPJACKS him, and now the match is on! Bruto copies Bravo’s dance, then UPPERCUTS! Tag to Julio, they double whip to DOUBLE BACKDROP! Julio struts but Rayo tags in. Rayo ROCKS and KICKS Julio, then CHOPS! Rayo runs, but into an OVERHEAD BELLY2BELL!
Julio kips up while Rayo hobbles. Julio reels Rayo in for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Tag to Bruto, then tag to Original. Julio ELBOWS Rayo in the corner, Bruto BACK BODY BLOCKS, then feed to Original’s HIP TOSS! The fans cheer and Original covers, TWO! Original drags Rayo up, wrenches, wristlocks, but Rayo breaks free to SMACK him! Tag to El Grande Dos! The Grandes tie up, go around, and Original arm-drags! They fight back up, Dos wrenches but Original rolls to SLAP back! Original headlocks but Rayo tags in as Dos powers up and out. They then trip Original out, bring him to the outside, and Grande Dos WRECKS Original with a dropkick!
The fans are torn as Los Americanos stand tall, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again as Rayo BOOTS Bruto off the corner! Rayo then clamps onto Julio with a SLEEPER! The fans rally as Julio endures, reaches out, but drops to his knees. Julio powers up again to BACKPACK SENTON! The fans rally while both men are down, hot tags to the Grandes! Original THROWS Dos, then rains down fists! Dos gets free, Bravo goes up and leaps in! Original catches him for an EXPLODER! Original fires hands, then clinches to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! ROLLING LIGER KICK on Rayo! Then Original ducks the discus to ANGLE SLAM! The fans fire up with Original and he waistlocks, but Bravo tags in!
Bravo y Rayo save their Americano from Chaos Theory, only for Original to waistlock Bravo! Bravo grabs Rayo in a panic, DOUBLE GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up for Original Grande, and he goes out to CANNONBALL! He CLOBBERS Rayo, goes up a corner, but Dos distracts the ref! That lets Rayo SHOVE Original off the corner! But Julio springs right up! SUPER DUPER PLEX! Bruto is up to MOONSAULT! But Dos CLOBBERS Bruto with the headbutt! GAMANGIRI for Julio! But then both Grandes run up, DOUBLE HEADBUTTS! Bravo is up top, DIVING BODY PRESS! Cover, TWO! Bravo is furious but the fans rally up, “This is Awesome!”
Rayo aims at Bruto, runs up, and SUPERKICKS from the apron! Then he SEATED SENTONS! But Julio gets Bravo up, APRON BOMB! Grande Dos PENALTY KICKS Julio! But Original has Bravo, RAMS him into Dos, then hits CHAOS THEORY! The fans cheer as Original goes up top, but Grande Dos grabs him! But the brothers RAM him into the barriers! Original DIVING HEADBUTT! Cover, Los Americanos Original win!
Winners: Los Americanos Original, by pinfall
AH GRACIAS~! But will this momentum carry El Grande Americano Original through that Mask VS Mask match at the end of May?
Roman Reigns heads to the ring!
Now that there is no one to stand in his way, The OTC, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, walks out on stage and raises his finger to the sky. The pyro goes off, and it is time for the title fight contract signing. But will things stay civil in this family civil war? We’ll find out, after the break.
Raw returns as Roman gets his second round of pyro, then joins Pearce in the ring. Roman makes sure to sit at the head of the table, then Pearce introduces the challenger, Jacob Fatu! The fans cheer the Samoan Werewolf as he makes his entrance. Pearce says we all know how this works: two signatures on the contract makes this match official. The fans sing for “Roman, Roman Reigns~!” while he stares down with Jacob. Roman picks up his mic first to say, “Nah, Pearce, you know how this works. Omaha, Nebraska…! ACKNOWLEDGE ME.” The fans cheer and chant “O T C! O T C!” Roman asks if Jacob hears all that.
Roman says that’s not just love, but the sound of respect! The fans cheer that, and Roman says you don’t think he knows where Jacob comes from? That he wasn’t watching from afar? That respect wasn’t earned just from hanging out. Jacob was grinding for 12 years, but Roman was here for OVER 12 years! The fans cheer again, and Roman tells Jacob that Roman was the one in this company, his foot holding the door open for Solo Sikoa. Solo brought Fatu in? Well guess what? Roman brought Solo in. Therefore, Roman brought Fatu in. And Roman will be damned if there is not respect to be had in this business for him!
The fans again cheer for “O T C! O T C!” and Roman says this is about respect. There has to be a code, there has to be an honor system. They can’t just run roughshod around here, bogarding everything for the family. No, there has to be a system of conduct that they can hang their hats on, understand? The Tongan Death Grip… Jacob disrespects Roman with something that he saves for desperate measures. Where does Jacob think they are? In some bar at 3AM, surrounded 8v1? THAT is when you bust out the Tongan Death Grip, THAT is when you snatch someone’s throat! You don’t do that to family! You don’t do that to your own. You don’t do that to your Tribal Chief!
The fans cheer again, but Fatu says, “Hold on, what?! Tribal Chief? Hey. That’s where you got it all wrong, you don’t understand. Yes, I am desperate. Yes, it feels like it’s just me against the world. Yes, my back is against the wall. So I have no other choice but to take you out, take this title, and everything that comes with it!” The fans are torn on that, but Fatu says to keep it 100, then he’ll put a choke hold on this game, and he’ll squeeze out every dollar and cent, just the way this company been doing their family for decades! So when Fatu’s talking all gas, no brakes with it, that doesn’t mean slowing down, it means moving forward and never going back to where he came from.
So yes, Roman, Fatu is desperate. Desperate enough to do anything for his household, even if he gotta run through his own blood! Roman says this is what he’s talking about! Fatu’s household?! Let’s get this out the way. Roman signs his part, the fans cheer, and then Roman pushes the contract to Fatu. Fatu is talking about his household, but Roman says he’s been up here over a decade for MULTIPLE households! Fatu is worried about seven kids, but Roman’s worried about 170 kids! Fatu is worried about higher education, but Roman is worried about generation after generation! Because Roman is the one that can do that! Proof of concept! The respect! WWE does business with HIM!
Roman already told everyone a long time ago, this is ALL HIS! This is HIS ring! And yes, in their family, they’re equals, of the same blood. But in this ring, Jacob, you’re beneath him! JACOB SNATCHES ROMAN! Roman CLAWS Fatu’s face, THROWS him into buckles, then THROWS an armchair at him! The fans fire up but Pearce wants Roman to calm down. Roman grabs the belt, but Fatu GRABS ROMAN’S THROAT! Roman HAMMERS Fatu down, climbs up in the corner, and rains down more fists! The fans count along, Roman goes all the way to TEN! But the TONGAN DEATH GRIP still finds him!!
Roman hurries to get loose, SUPERMAN- DEATH GRIP!! DEATH GRIP!! Pearce hurries in there, Roman grabs at Pearce out of desperation, but Fatu drags him around, CHOKE SLAM on the table!! The table didn’t break, but Roman is still down and out. Fatu signs his part, and he says they gonna do this! It is official, and as it looks, Fatu has the advantage! Will nothing stop the Samoan Werewolf from sinking his teeth deep into Roman? Or can Roman find a way to survive?
My Thoughts:
A great Raw here as the go-home to Backlash, but with some great stuff that also had nothing to do with Backlash. Very good promos from Judgment Day, and I just knew Liv was gonna confront Roxie about Finn sneaking in. Her mentioning watching it back on Netflix was also a good detail, as they can reference it later if Roxie really does end up helping Finn as the mole. They were acting like enemies cuz they didn’t want the secret being exposed by cameras. But in the end, Judgment Day of course made sure Finn lost, but there might be hope for allies if Bayley & Lyra are gonna get in Judgment Day’s way of the women’s tag titles. Mixed Six Tag maybe?
Great 2v2 tag of Penta & Evans VS Rusev & Ethan, and the Heels winning out makes sense given Penta is a Face champion. Rusev will likely be betrayed by Ethan so that Ethan gets the title shot, only for Penta to win out. Great first match for the Oba Femi Open Challenge, Oba continues to build his power on main roster by just showing his physical power in throwing Otis. Very good promo from Sol and Becky, that’s clearly Becky’s first title defense right there, but I would think Becky cheats to win. Though, I can’t really see what Sol could do after she loses so maybe Sol should win to humble Becky? Plus, they can just have a rematch after.
Great stuff with all the Americanos, especially with how convoluted it is to cover up the obvious identities of everyone. AAA gives the rest of the story where Gable Americano has escalated things to where even Kaiser Americano’s girlfriend is banned from AAA if Kaiser loses his mask, and that’s pretty wild. But probably also all the more reason we’re about to get Chad Gable back once he’s exposed. Great stuff with The Vision story, such as Rollins interacting with Roman only to get attacked by Bron Breakker. Also, that means Roman didn’t even care that Bron ran past him to go after Rollins, and that’s hilarious.
Hendry VS Theory ending in disqualification was fine, it works for Heels to be sore losers and such. Profits of course made the save, and while Rollins said they’d stay separate, I really do think there’s gonna be some kind of team up before this is over. Obviously, Hendry & Profits VS Vision can happen as a Six Man, and at the very least, they try to help Rollins against Bron when Logan & Theory try to cheat that match. And very good stuff in the story of Roman VS Jacob. Good promo from Usos, very good contract signing promos, especially with Roman referencing some of the real-life stories about Haku fighting off jackasses in bars. Jacob standing tall would suggest he loses, but there’s also SmackDown as a go-home to see if the tides turn at the last minute.
