Show Recap —
Judgment Day and Seth Rollins were shown arriving at the arena (separately). There was a video package recapping Bron Breakker beating Jey Uso for the IC title and Jey’s appearance on Smackdown leading to Motor City Machine Guns beating the Bloodline for the tag titles and his reunion with Jimmy Uso.
Jey and Jimmy Uso segment
Jey Uso entered to start the show. (After the long video and Jey’s entrance, it was 8:09 pm by the time he spoke.)
Jey said it’s been a long week. He lost his Intercontinental title, had some Bloodline drama, and got his retaliation on Smackdown by costing them the tag titles. There was only one Uce he wanted to hear from now.
Jimmy Uso entered. Jimmy thanked him for what he did on Smackdown. They needed to be together to take down Solo Sikoa and the Bloodline because they weren’t The Ones. Jey said they weren’t the ones either. (The crowd gasped.) The last time they saw each other was half a year ago at WrestleMania—fighting each other.
A lot has happened since then. People don’t get them confused anymore. Jey won the IC title on his own. But none of the titles topped being Jimmy’s twin brother. Jimmy went for a hug but Jey stopped him. He said they still need to fix stuff. This time around, if they got back together, they were nobody’s yes men or side pieces. They do it together as the Usos.
Jimmy told Jey that Roman Reigns would be at Smackdown on Friday. Jimmy invited Jey to Smackdown to squash their beef. Jey said he would be there.
Before they could shake on it, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu hit the ring to attack them as Sikoa watched from ringside. Fatu tried a running hip attack to Jey with a chair (the same thing that took out Jimmy) but Jey chucked the chair at him. The Usos cleared the ring with superkicks.
Adam Pearce and officials backed the Bloodline up the aisle.
********
An angry Adam Pearce was on the phone with Nick Aldis, berating him for allowing the Bloodline to appear on Raw because they only agreed to Jimmy being there. Pearce told him to control his damn roster.
Judgment Day showed up. Pearce was low on patience so he quickly informed Dominik Mysterio that he would face Damian Priest tonight. Carlito said that wasn’t cool. Pearce left.
Dom wasn’t worried because he knew Priest’s tricks. Finn Bálor tried to warn him that Priest was called punishment for a reason. Dom urged them to believe in him and told them he can become world champion. He planned on going out there alone to prove it. They all got behind him except for Bálor, who looked annoyed that Dom didn’t listen to him. Bálor left.
********
Sheamus defeated Ludwig Kaiser (9:48)
After a break, Sheamus hit ten beats of the Bodhrán and a flying clothesline for two. Kaiser followed with a powerbomb and knee strike for two. They exchanged strikes until Sheamus hit a knee strike and Brogue Kick for the pinfall win. This was fine.
********
There was a Rhea Ripley video promo on Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan. She admitted to making mistakes in the past (betraying them) but they deserved the beatings they got from her. Now it was only about winning the world title and they would have to kill her to stop her.
********
The Usos bumped into Sami Zayn backstage. Zayn and Jey shook hands. Zayn wanted to speak with Jey—alone. Jimmy and Zayn got face-to-face before Jey asked Jimmy to leave. He did. Zayn asked Jey if everything was suddenly cool now with Jimmy and Roman. Jey said Sikoa might be worse than Reigns.
Zayn said Sikoa wasn’t the one who mentally got in Jey’s head for years and made him jump through hoops to prove himself to his own family. Zayn said Jey didn’t have to choose between the lesser of two evils, he didn’t have to get involved at all. Zayn didn’t understand any of it. Jey said Zayn didn’t understand because he wasn’t family. Jey left.
********
There was a Gunther video promo. He called Cody Rhodes a gutless champion. Rhodes dragged another close friend into his business, this time Randy Orton. Gunther suggested Rhodes pull Orton aside and ask him what it felt like to be choked out by him because Rhodes would be next. Rhodes would wake up and finally realize he was the secondary champion.
********
Ivy Nile (w/The Creed Brothers) defeated Zelina Vega (w/Cruz Del Toro & Joaquin Wilde) (6:34)
Vega hit a dive and they went to break 50 seconds into the match. Vega hit (missed) a moonsault for two. Brutus Creed distracted the referee while Julius prevented Vega from hitting a Code Red. Del Toro and Wilde went after the Creeds but the Creeds easily laid them out. Nile hit Vega with a spinning uranage for the pinfall win. This was no good.
********
Jimmy asked Jey how his chat went with Zayn. Jey said he told Zayn he wasn’t family. Jimmy dismissively said, “Well, he’s not.” Jey stood up for Zayn and said he stepped up when Jimmy left. Jimmy could tell Jey was bothered so he wanted to talk to Zayn. Jey didn’t like that idea because he figured something bad would happen. Jimmy said he just wanted to talk.
[SECOND HOUR]
Seth Rollins and Bronson Reed segment
Rollins entered. He was on the hunt for a monster. “Make no mistake about it, Bronson Reed is a monster—but so am I.” That was a side of Rollins that he put to bed a long time ago. He forgot about that side of him but Reed woke something up in his soul. Reed reminded him what he was capable of. “I gotta be honest with you, Hershey. I kinda like it.”
Reed appeared on the big screen. Reed promised Pearce that they wouldn’t have a repeat of last week and cause chaos in the arena. However, if Rolins wanted to hunt a monster, he was waiting in the parking lot.
Rollins left the ring and found Reed in the parking lot. They chucked aside some security guards before Reed tossed Rollins onto a car. There was a semi-truck nearby and Rollins slammed the trailer door in Reed’s face before giving him a curb stomp onto the hood of the car.
Rollins began cutting a promo to the camera but stopped upon realizing Reed was back on his feet. Rollins superkicked Reed and hit him on the head with a wooden crate. Rollins went inside the trailer but Reed chucked a trash can right in his face. Reed grabbed Rollins and gave him a DVD off the trailer floor through some tables.
The crowd chanted, “Holy sh-t,” as officials checked on Rollins. Reed backed away on his own.
(I didn’t like Rollins’ promo but the brawl was good. I guess we’ll have to see that other side of Rollins another day.)
********
R-Truth approached Alpha Academy. He said they look a lot better without the short ugly guy who screamed at them all the time. Otis asked, “Master Gable?” and Truth responded, “You can’t say that on TV.”
Miz approached and apologized to Truth. He didn’t know what got into him. They were former tag champions and family. Miz needed family now more than ever. Maxxine Dupri told Truth not to listen to him. Miz responded, “Yeah, don’t listen to a former champion, listen to Snow White and the two dorks.”
Truth stopped Otis and Akira Tozawa from killing Miz. Truth said it was between him and Miz. Truth shook Miz’s hand before punching him in the face. Truth leaned in and said, “Good luck with the Wyatts. Y’all gonna die!” The crowd laughed. Truth walked away, saw Pete Dunne nearby and said, “What’s up Butch, you seen Pete?”
********
Triple threat tag match: The War Raiders defeated Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee and The New Day to become number one contenders for the World Tag Team Titles (17:35)
There was a moment where Rey went to tag Dragon Lee but Woods knocked Dragon off the apron. The crowd lightly booed but, as he explained, he was just trying to win the match. Kingston tagged in and gave Ivar and Rey a leg drop before giving Rey an SOS. Everyone traded moves until Kingston wiped out everyone with a trust fall dive. This led to their second commercial break in nine minutes.
Dragon Lee tagged in and gave Kingston a double foot stomp and a DDT to Ivar. Rey brought Ivar off the ropes with a hurricanrana while Dragon Lee gave Kingston a sit-out powerbomb. Lee covered Kingston but Woods broke up the cover.
Kingston gave Lee a backbreaker and set up for their double-team finisher. Woods went to the top but dropped back down upon seeing Rey enter the ring. Kingston was confused as Woods went after Rey but Rey dropped the ropes and Woods fell out of the ring.
Rey went for 619 on Kingston but Chad Gable suddenly appeared and yanked Rey out of the ring. Gable put Rey in an ankle lock and he couldn’t escape.
Ivar and Erik hit Kingston with a combo German suplex/springboard clothesline for the pinfall win. The War Raiders are now number one contenders for the world tag titles (held by Bálor and JD McDonagh).
This match was ok. The crowd was fairly quiet as they have been most of the night.
********
Miz complained to Pearce in the back until he was approached by Karrion Kross, along with Scarlett and AOP (no Paul Ellering). Kross wanted Miz to help them find Bo Dallas tonight. Miz didn’t like that idea. Kross said he would help or else Kross would break his legs. (The crowd lightly chanted, “Break his legs.”)
********
Jimmy walked toward the exit. As he walked out of the arena, he saw Zayn speaking to Sikoa in the parking lot (Sikoa was in the passenger seat of an SUV while Zayn stood outside).
Jey approached and asked if he had spoken to Zayn. Jimmy pointed out the conversation that was happening between Zayn and Sikoa. They both seemed surprised but Jimmy told Jey they needed to do this with just themselves and Roman. Jey said, “Yeet.” (He agreed.)
********
Dominik Mysterio defeated Damian Priest (8:58)
Dom hit a suicide dive ahead of a break. He tried three amigos but Priest countered the last one into a falcon arrow. Priest followed with a flatliner for two. Dom escaped the ring so Priest tackled him over the announce table.
Morgan and Rodriguez ran down and distracted the referee while McDonagh and Carlito attacked Priest. Priest fought them off and attacked them with a chair. The ref yelled at Priest for defending himself against Carlito who was in the ring. With Priest distracted, Dom caught him in a schoolboy while holding the tights for the surprise win.
— Dom tried to bail but Priest hit him with Razor’s Edge. Priest was about to leave, but after hearing Lilian Garcia announce Dom as the winner, Priest returned to the ring and attacked him repeatedly with the chair.
Carlito tried to save Dom but Priest chokeslammed them both. The rest of Judgment Day (minus Bálor, who did not appear) helped Dom out of the ring. Dom was barely moving but managed to raise his hand in victory. Priest sarcastically applauded the “winner.”
(Last week on Raw there were four matches and all four ended as a result of a distraction or interference. There were four matches on tonight’s show and three ended as a result of distraction or interference.)
