PLAY BY PLAY
Seth Rollins is here!
Perth sings along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” as The Visionary, the Revolutionary, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion and THE 2025 Men’s Crown Jewel Champion leads the way for The Oracle, The Badass & Auszilla, all while wearing a yellow-and-black plaid ensemble of pants, shirt, and even long coat. The Vision stands in the ring and they revel in the singing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” The fans even bark for Bron Breakker. Then they shift to, “Seth is a Wanker!” “No, He’s Not!” Paul Heyman has the mic, and he hands it to Seth so he can tell Perth, Australia, “Welcome to Monday Night Rollins!”
The singing returns, which amuses Rollins. “And in case you wankers don’t know…” The fans cheer for that turnabout… “I am the Crown Jewel Champion! I am the World Heavyweight Champion! I am a Revolutionary! I am a Visionary! I am…” “SETH! FREAKIN’! ROLLINS!” The fans cheer themselves for that, and Rollins says, “And this is The Vision. This is MY Vision! And while tonight is about me, I’m gonna take a moment ot recognize the greatness that is standing in this ring. The greatness that I have assembled!” The fans do applaud that. Rollins says, “First, his name is Paul Heyman! My Oracle! A Wise Man forsaken by his Tribal Chief, betrayed his best friend!
“You (Paul) came to me in a moment of need, I took you in, and with my Vision, together, we have solidified you as the undisputed GOAT! Sir, I am a blessed man for being in your presence.” Rollins and Heyman hug and the fans do applaud. The fans then taunt Rollins, “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” Rollins kisses Heyman on the forehead and says ain’t no shame in that! That’s love! Rollins then moves on to Bron, and the fans bark. Rollins barks, too, and he wants a twitch. Bron chuckles, and he takes off his sunglasses so he can tweak out! Rollins says six months ago, there were whispers about potential.
Bron came to Rollins, and with Rollins’ Vision, Bron has flourished and become everything Rollins thought he could be and more. Bron is the undisputed future of this industry! And then… The fans cheer as Rollins goes to “Big Bronson Reed!” Auszilla! Six months ago, he was on the shelf. He couldn’t have beat Roman Reigns. The fans sing for, “Bronson, Bronson Reed~!” Rollins says Bronson couldn’t have beaten Roman six months ago. But with Rollins’ Vision, he gave Bronson every bit of knowledge he had about Roman. Not only did Bronson beat Roman, he DESETROYED and EMBARRASSED Roman Reigns! Bronson is the NEW Tribal Chief! HAHAHAHA!
The fans are a bit torn but plenty do ACKNOWLEDGE Bronson. Rollins then says that brings him to… “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” Rollins says no, Perth. He has some questions here. Two questions. He knows they’re not very smart but he’ll try anyways. “Who is the greatest World Heavyweight Champion of all time? And why is it ME? HAHAHAHA!” Roman Reigns likes to say there are levels to this game. Well, at this very level, there is nobody on Rollins’ level! The fans boo but Rollins says the difference between him and all the other greats of his generation is that Rollins hasn’t needed anyone to get his success!
The fans boo that hypocrisy and even call BS, but Rollins says he’s spitting straight facts! Roman Reigns needed The Shield, he needed The Bloodline! Cody Rhodes needed Rollins to beat Roman Reigns! Rollins has never needed anybody. He doesn’t need Bronson, Bron, or Heyman! He beat CM Punk and Roman Reigns on his own! He won this world title on his own! He TROUNCED Cody Rhodes with one good arm, ON HIS OWN! Those are facts! Rollins doesn’t need these men, he has chosen these men, and they have chosen him! Because Rollins IS a Visionary! He IS a Revolutionary! He is the Greatest to Ever Do It! Seth FREAKIN’ ROLLINS!
Mic drop, title raise, and lots of pyro for THE Crown Jewel Champion! But while they were all victorious on Saturday, will The Vision still succeed in taking over everything in the WWE?
Penta heads to gorilla.
And Rusev finds him first. Rusev says Penta shouldn’t be fighting in this match tonight. Rusev beat Penta, and then “Baby Boy” Dom cheated Rusev out of the title. But yet, Penta is getting this title match. But Rusev will allow it, as he already talked to Pearce so that he will get the winner of tonight’s match. And if happens to be Penta, do not think Rusev forgot about that kick last week. So here’s some advice: Pray. Penta just calls Rusev an idiot and leaves. And then Dom walks by, sees Rusev, and goes the other way! Will Dirty Dom survive the frying pan only to end up in the fire? Or will the Man with Zero Fear be the one to deal with the Son of Thunder?

Backstage interview with LA Knight.
Jackie Redmond is with the Mega Star, and brings up last week where Knight pinned former World Heavyweight Champion, Jey Uso. Tonight, Knight gets an opportunity to do it again, but in a Triple Threat to name a #1 contender. The only difference this time is that CM Punk isn’t a teammate, he’s an opponent. How much confidence can Knight take from last week? Knight says first, he’s glad Jackie knows how these matches work. LEMME TALK TO YA! Yeah, Punk is not a partner, Punk might get himself punched in the mouth, Punk might get himself pinned, just like Jey did last week.
But whether Knight has to pin Jey or pin Punk, this match isn’t for the #1 contender spot, it might as well be FOR the World Heavyweight Championship. As Knight sees it, he goes on, him and Rollins, and he’ll be 3-0 against Rollins, and of course CM Punk steps in… Punk says he heard his name, so why not? Plus, Knight’s wasting Jackie’s time, talking about the past. Knight ain’t gonna pin Punk and he ain’t gonna be World Heavyweight Champion. Last week was real cute, Knight stealing one from Punk. Not gonna happen this week. Knight says fair enough, but here’s what Punk needs to do. Punk needs to accept that the “is-ness” that is Knight, and Knight is what is.
And what else is, is Knight means being World Heavyweight Champion, and there’s nothing Punk, Jey, or anyone else can do about it. As a matter of fact, when Knight looks back here, that’s where Punk’s headed! YEAH! Knight heads out, Punk is speechless, but who will have the last laugh at the end of the night?
Kairi Sane sulks and despairs backstage.
But then she hears Asuka coming and she does her best to stand at attention. Asuka tells Kairi to come, come, come. Kairi steps closer, and Asuka says at Crown Jewel, Kairi lost that match! Right? R-Right. Rhea & Iyo still have disrespect for them! Yes, Asuka-san! Kairi is so sorry! But…! Kairi grabs Asuka’s hand, but Asuka says no touch. Kairi lets go, and promises, she can fix this! She’ll talk to Iyo- Asuka says what? Iyo? No, Kairi needs to fix this mess she made for Asuka. Because tonight, Kairi’s facing Rhea Ripley! Kairi will destroy Rhea, and that will make everyone realize that Asuka is in charge.
Asuka turns to go, Kairi pleads with “nee-san,” but again she’s touching Asuka! Asuka shakes Kairi off, but Kairi shows the big bruise on her forehead Rhea left! This is because Kairi tried to help and- ASUKA SLAPS KAIRI!! Asuka tells Kairi that she’s gonna fix this, or else. Asuka leaves, and Kairi is in shock. How much longer is the Pirate Princess going to stay the Empress’ puppet?

The Usos talk backstage.
Jimmy is taping up, ready to fight Bronson Reed tonight. Jimmy promises to get him, he’ll represent. But check this out, and he’ll say this one more time. They helped The Tribal Chief out, and it’s still their fault? They’re still getting blamed for that? Jey says Roman said it himself: It goes one way, and that’s Roman’s way. All Roman ever does is look out for himself. Maybe the Usos should do the same. Jimmy asks what Jey’s talking about. That doesn’t even sound like Jey. Jey says he appreciates Jimmy going after The Vision, but Jey’s got his own Triple Threat match. Jey can’t make the same mistake in Paris, sticking his neck out for Roman, because it’ll cost him the world title.
Jey got hurt, so he won’t make the same mistake. He can’t, Uce. Oh, so what? Jimmy takes a guess: Jimmy’s on his own tonight? Jey thinks #BigJim can’t handle #BigBronson? No, that’s not what he meant. Then good, Uce! Jey can handle his business while Jimmy handles his. Jimmy storms off, Jey is beside himself, but is the OG Bloodline only falling further apart thanks to Seth Rollins?
Bronson Reed VS Jimmy Uso!
Big Jim doesn’t even wait for the bell, he throws hands as soon as he’s in the ring! The fans fire up, Bronson BODY BLOWS in return, and then he CLUBS Jimmy!

But Bronson kicks low! Bronson scoops, Jimmy slips free, and Jimmy POSTS Bronson! The ring count climbs but Jimmy SMACKS Bronson off the desk first! Jimmy winces, his ribs still hurting from Saturday, but he still BOOTS Bronson! And CHOPS!

Bronson blocks a kick but not the DRAGON WHIP! Jimmy then GAMANGIRIS in the corner! Bronson sits down, Jimmy goes corner to corner, HIP ATTACK! Cover, TWO! Bronson stays in this but Jimmy hurries up the corner. USO IN THE WIND! Cover, TWO! Bronson is tougher than that, but Jimmy still tries to fireman’s carry!? He manages it!? But then he falls over under Bronson’s weight! SENTON! SENTON again! Bronson goes up the corner! TSUNAMI!! Cover, Bronson wins!
Winner: Bronson Reed, by pinfall
Jimmy’s heart wanted to keep fighting, but his body could not! Bronson gets another win over another Bloodline member, but now Bron is out here. And he decides he wants a piece of #BigJim! Bron slides into the ring and he SPEARS Jimmy back down!! Bronson then sets Jimmy back up, and Bron SPEARS Jimmy again!! The fans either boo or bark while Bronson kicks Jimmy out of the ring. Bron goes out the side, he wants to recreate Saturday! BUT JEY RUSHES OUT HERE! Despite what he said, Jey can’t just abandon his brother! SUPERKICK on Bronson! Bron TACKLES Jey! But then Jey fires haymakers!
Jey TOSSES Bron out, but Bronson SPLASHES Jey! Jey is down, Bronson drags him up, but Jey SUPERKICKS! Bronson falls out of the ring! The fans fire up as The Usos regroup. Jimmy thanks his brother, but Jey is still upset that it had to come to this. Bron & Bronson leave it alone, and Jey tells Jimmy to get it right. Will Main Event Jey Uso still have what he needs to win tonight’s Triple Threat?
Bayley & Lyra Valkyria warm-up backstage.
Lyra hopes Bayley is good for this. She feels great! No jetlag even! No, Lyra doesn’t want Bayley acting like it’s nothing. Lyra still isn’t sure if she can trust Bayley. Bayley asks what she means, and Lyra says Judgment Day is (almost) always on the same page, and when Lyra & Bayley are good, they are great. But let’s be real, sometimes… They’re just a bit off. And unless Lyra can count on Bayley and she knows exactly what to expect out there… This might be the last time they team. Bayley thinks Lyra’s kidding. She knows Lyra knows they’re great together! They won that tag gauntlet, remember? Okay, let’s go!
Lyra is still worried about Bayley’s… mood… But can Morrigan & Role Model hold it together long enough to overcome The Prodigy & Big Mami Cool?

Winners: Bayley & Lyra Valkyria, by pinfall
Lyra celebrates with Bayley, because somehow, someway, they figured out how to use that madness to their advantage! Will this lead them to the tag titles they were always promised?
The Vision regroups backstage.
Heyman sings, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” for Rollins and he says this is why he loves Heyman. The last six months, nothing but smiles. And y’know what? The last six months are nothing compared to what the next six months. Heck, the next 12, 18, the entire future is special. Rollins can feel it, he can sense it. Something big is on the horizon. “I don’t know when, I don’t know how, but I feel it.” Then Bron & Bronson walk in and Rollins is so proud! Masterful work! They’re so sick of The Usos, and… He loves them, man! Seeing their faces, seeing what they’ve become, feeling all the energy here from this weekend, and he means this… This is the most incredible weekend of his career.
He means that from the bottom of his heart. The birth of his child, then marrying his wife Becky, and then, seeing how much Bron & Bronson have grown. Those are his proudest moments. He means that. He just wants to take a moment to let them all know, this IS the mountaintop. This IS the rarified air. Breathe that in! It’s incredible. Very few men understand what this is like, and you guys are here. The crazy thing is… Rollins feels like they’re just this close to taking the next step. He’s on cloud nine right now, and there is absolutely nothing that’ll knock him off the mountaintop. If Seth Rollins is on top of the world now, how much higher will he get as The Vision continues on?
Adam Pearce talks with the refs.
He wants updates on Rhea & Iyo, so Eddie Durango says he’ll get on that. AJ Styles steps in, he and Pearce shake hands. Styles says Crown Jewel was amazing. It would’ve been even better if he’d won, but hey, it is what it is. John Cena is a legend. But so is Styles. Pearce wants to thank Styles, and while the world is saying it, he wants to say it, too: Cena and Styles created a moment in time. Dom walks over, saying blah blah blah, moment in time! What about Dom? He’s the ONLY Double Champion, and Styles knows nothing about that. Pearce tells Dom that they’re trying to do business here. If Dom is dropping a hammer on someone, do it another time.
Dom says he has no idea what Pearce means. But also, why is Pearce making Dom face Rusev next week? Is Dom the only champion working? Did Dom cheat Rusev? Dom again doesn’t know what he’s talking about. But then Styles says, “Cheater McGee’s got a point.” Dom is the only one defending his title. So maybe JD McDonagh & Finn Balor should defend their tag titles. In fact, it should be against Styles & Dragon Lee! Dom tries to say that’s not what he meant, but Pearce says that’s a great idea, Dom! And y’know what? Why not do it next week? What an awesome idea, Dom! Such an inspiration! He’s the man! Now, should Pearce let them know? Or will Dom do that first?
Dom says he is the man, and he will let them know! Dom says this ruined his day. Dom storms off, Pearce and Styles fist bump. But will the Irish Ace & The Prince NOT be okay having to defend their gold in the Golden State?
Jackie Redmond is on stage.
And she asks we welcome out the WWE Women’s World Champion, and the 2025 Women’s Crown Jewel Champion, Stephanie Vaquer! Perth fires up as La Primera makes her entrance. She gets pyro and flames, and Jackie congratulates Vaquer on defeating Tiffany Stratton to become the second-ever Women’s Crown Jewel Champion! An incredible weekend that continues an incredible year for Vaquer, and though it’s only been 48 hours, how does she feel? Vaquer says in Spanish and English that she is happy and blessed! She is the first-ever woman in WWE history to win four major titles in one year!
The fans cheer, as indeed, from both NXT Women’s & Women’s North American Championships to then the WWE Women’s World and now Women’s Crown Jewel Championship, that is a unique grand slam of its own. But someone interrupts! Raquel leads the way for her and Roxie as they storm back out here. Raquel “congratulates” the champion. But Stephanita, why’re you emotional over a title you never should’ve won? Vaquer says she knows they lost and are having a bad night, but that is not her problem. Roxie says of course not! But it would be if Roxie got the match that she deserves! Everyone forgets Roxie was the last woman to beat Iyo Sky!
Roxie should’ve been at WrestlePalooza, she should’ve become Women’s World Champion, and she should be Women’s Crown Jewel Champion! Vaquer tells Roxie that she doesn’t care Roxie’s beaten before, because she’ll never beat Vaquer! If she wants to fight, stop crying and do something about it! Oh, she will! But on her time, not Vaquer’s time. Then Vaquer says she’ll wait for Roxie en Infierno. The battlelines have been drawn, when and where will La Primera and Prodigy battle it out?
Jey Uso is in the concourse.
The fans are ready, and Jey asks that they please, please, play his music! UH UH, YEET!! And that means it is time for the main event! Perth is ready to make this YEETstralia, but will Jey once again be #1 contender? Will it be The Mega Star’s game tonight? Or will the Second City Saint have his rematch with his most hated rival?
WWE World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender’s Triple Threat: LA Knight VS CM Punk VS Jey Uso!
The fans finish singing Cult of Personality for Punk, then the bell rings. Perth is thunderous for Punk already as he and the others circle, Punk hits Knight, then Jey, but they hit back! Knight CLUBS away on Punk, kicks Jey, ROCKS Jey, then stomps, “YEAHN! YEAH!” Punk turns Knight around to throw hands, then’ shouts “YEAH!” Fireman’s carry, but Knight fights free! Jey SUPERKICKS Punk! The fans are torn but Jey sees Punk go outside. The fans chant for Punk again but Jey says, “YEET!” Jey builds speed but Knight LARIATS! “YEAH!” Then Knight WRECKS Punk with a dropkick! “YEAH!” The fans fire up but here comes Jey! Jey DIVES and takes out Knight!
The fans fire up but Jey checks his head from hitting the desk. Main Event Jey is in control as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Knight SMACKS Punk off the steel steps, “YEAH!” Then again! Then Knight THROWS Punk into the crowd!

Now Jey has targets in the corners! “UCE! OH! UCE! OH” HIP ATTACK for Knight! HIP- NO, Punk BOOTS Jey first!
Punk LARIATS Jey, then spins him for a NECKBREAKER! SHINING WIZARD for Knight again! SHINING WIZARD for Jey! BULLDOG LARIAT COMBO! The fans fire up and Punk stomps around and shakes the ropes!

The fans fire up again while all three men are down, and Raw goes back to break.
Raw returns again and Jey ROCKS Punk! “YEET!” Punk winds up to JAB Jey! Jey ROCKS Punk! They go back and forth, Jey gets the edge, then he pops, locks, puts some stank on it, but Punk fireman’s carries! Jey slips free, Knight DOUBLE LARIATS them both!

Winner: CM Punk, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship)
The Best in the World just snatched victory away from Main Event Jey! But while Punk celebrates, here comes Seth Rollins & The Vision! Bron Breakker breaks out of the pack to SPEAR Jey Uso!! Bron tweaks, the fans bark, but Punk stands his ground. Bron grins, but he runs around the way to SPEAR Knight!! The Mega Star is down again and Bron kips right up! One man wiped out two contenders, but now he and Bronson are eyeing the number one! The fans still chant, “Seth is a Wanker!” as Rollins finally reaches ringside. Bronson storms in, he and Bron go after Punk! Punk fights 2v1 but he loses that numbers game!
The fans boo as Bron & Bronson mug Punk, then set him up for a SPEAR!!! Rollins smiles as he steps into the ring, and Bronson puts Punk in the drop zone. Bronson goes up, up, and TSUNAMI!! The fans boo but Rollins is loving it! Rollins stands over Punk with the world title, and tells Punk that he will NEVER be World Heavyweight champion again! Rollins is the King of WWE! This is HIS title, this is HIS ring, this is HIS company! Punk is a dead man! But the fans say Seth is still a wanker. Punk wants Bron & Bronson to get rid of the trash, and Bron drags Punk out of the ring. Rollins talks more trash on Punk, then stands with his guys.
The Vision stands tall, world title in Rollins’ hand. The fans sing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” for Rollins as he gloats on and on. But then BRON SPEARS ROLLINS!!! Heyman is shocked and yet the fans are loving it! Why would Bron do this to Rollins!? Rollins sputters and coughs, but what about Bronson? The Badass and Auszilla stare down, and Bron says they can do this one of two ways. So Bronson drags Rollins to the drop zone!! TSUNAMI ON ROLLINS!! Heyman is freaking out over this mutiny, but Perth is thunderous! Bron tells Heyman that HE can do this one of two ways. What does The Oracle say?
Bron snatches the title away from Rollins, and Heyman raises Bron’s hand in victory! The Vision is NO LONGER Rollins’, because the undisputed future wants to be the now! But what will happen now that Bron is leading the pack?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Raw to follow up a great Crown Jewel, and what a wild way to move things forward from Rollins winning the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship. To be fair, that opening promo of his made me think they were going to turn on him right there, but then they got through that and the promo of Rollins sharing his appreciation and pride in them, and only then does Bron decide to absolutely destroy him. Perhaps Rollins’ arm took more damage than we thought? But great Triple Threat from Punk, Knight and Jey, and Punk winning here was a bit of a surprise, I really thought Knight was winning this, with the expectation of losing again at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
But instead it’s Punk, and now with Vision turning on Rollins, who knows if that complicates the title situation, this is quite intrigue. Same goes for how Jey and Jimmy are at odds because Jey wants the world title that badly. Yes, he still helped Jimmy, but he was telling Jimmy himself that Jimmy’s gotta get better at doing things on his own if Jey’s to do things on his own. We might end up with Jimmy and Jey fighting to give them a do-over on the Uso VS Uso match at WrestleMania a couple years ago that didn’t work out like they wanted.
Everything else from tonight was also amazing stuff, and next week’s Raw is really stacked for it. Dom VS Penta was great, but Rusev costing Penta should’ve been expected. Dom gloating about it getting Finn & JD dragged into a match is great, Styles & Dragon Lee VS Finn & JD is going to be a great match, but I don’t see a title change happening. Becky VS Maxxine was announced, that’ll be a great match but again, I don’t see a title change yet. Bayley & Lyra had a great promo together, and a great match with Roxie & Raquel. I love that Lyra found a way to use Bayley’s rage to their advantage, and Bayley going off on Raquel & Roxie was great. I still want to see this Bayley interact with Charlotte and Alexa, to of her better rivals.
Roxie & Raquel trying to ruin Stephanie’s moment was a little surprising, but whether it’s Vaquer VS Roxie or Vaquer VS Raquel, we’re gonna get great stuff for the title. And then so much of this Kabuki Warrior story continues to be amazing. You could hear the fans reacting to Asuka slapping Kairi, that’s proof this story is not just working, but that it’s perhaps the best thing going. Rhea VS Kairi was a great match, and a great win for Rhea. But Kairi and Asuka standing tall after definitely means we’re getting another tag match. And while both Rhea VS Asuka and Iyo VS Asuka are going to be great matches, the best moment will be Kairi finally standing up to Asuka, the fans will go nuts for that.
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! Yuto tells the fans that if they wanna get that wrestling high, then you’ll wanna see Yuto fight Henare! They ARE KOB, and they wanna fight the strongest bastards there are! 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?
IWGP Heavyweight Championship: Callum Newman VS Shingo Takagi!

PLAY BY PLAY
Roman Reigns arrives backstage.
And Adam Pearce catches him right as he exits the car. The Raw General Manager knows Roman is heated from last week but they need to discuss things first. Roman says first off, no, he wants to know where Jacob Fatu is at. And second, don’t you hear the fans already cheering for him? Hit his music! Pearce tries to calm Roman down but has to shout at him first. Jacob Fatu is not here… yet. But Seth Rollins is! Architect and Tribal Chief stare down, and Rollins says Roman is in his way. Roman steps aside, and Rollins’ song hits first! The fans in Omaha, Nebraska sing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” as Rollins heads to the ring.
But then BRON BREAKKER CLOBBERS ROLLINS! Bron HAMMERS away on Rollins, drags him around, and throws hockey scrum body shots!

Bron looms over Rollins while the fans bark. Rollins coughs and sputters while Bron tells him this is just a taste. Bron takes his leave, the damage done. But will he do even worse when the match is on for Backlash?
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?
Finn Balor VS JD McDonagh w/ Dominik Mysterio!
Raw returns as The Irish Ace makes his entrance, Dirty Dom by his side. The bell rings, the two tie up, and JD wrenches to wristlock. JD YANKS the arm, but the fans taunt him as “BOBBLEHEAD!

The fans boo as Finn shouts at Dom, but JD CLOBBERS Finn! Finn tumbles out of the ring, but here comes Roxie! The fans boo Judgment Day as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Finn fights up in the headlock. Finn fires body shots, and now the rest of Judgment Day hurries out here. JD CLUBS Finn, whips him, but Finn goes up and- NO, JD catches Finn on the over, but Finn holds onto the ropes! JD pries Finn free, but Finn slips down to dragon sleeper! EYE OF THE HURRICANE! The fans cheer Finn on, but he’s all alone ringside now that it is 5v1! JD and Finn rise up, but Finn ROCKS JD! And ROCKS him again! And again, and again! Finn whips and BACKDROPS JD! JD flounders, Finn trips him to DOUBLE STOMP! The fans cheer Finn as he flexes!

JD swings, Finn dodges and CHOPS! Finn runs, but into the SPANISH FLY! Cover, TWO!! Finn survives but just barely! Finn goes to the apron while the fans rally harder and harder. JD storms over, but Finn RAMS into him! Then GAMANGIRIS! Finn goes up, up, but Raquel distracts the ref! Dom shakes the ropes, and Finn falls! The ref realizes something is wrong, so she EJECTS Dom! The fans cheer as things are a bit more even now.

The fans rally for Finn while the ladies of Judgment Day coach JD. Liv gets on the apron, but the ref tells her to back off. Liv sneaks something to Roxie! The bell hammer!? Finn SHOTGUNS JD!

Winner: JD McDonagh, by pinfall
Roxie proves her loyalties by doing Liv’s dirty work, and JD finally gets a win over his old mentor. Is there no hope for Finn against this many enemies?
Backstage interview with Seth Rollins.
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.
Bron Breakker says he couldn’t let Rollins go to the ring and get on the mic to bore us all to death. He can’t stand listening to that guy! He’s like a duck! “Quack, quack! 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. Logan Paul says one guy who won’t be is Joe Hendry! Logan’s gonna beat him to a pulp! Logan swears to God, let him get his hands on Hendry and he’ll hospitalize him permanently! PLEASE! 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. They fist bump on that, but will The Vision all be turned into believers soon enough?

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.
My Score: 8.9/10
