RAW in Rhode Island

Congratulations to Kelani Jordan and Carmelo Hayes on their engagement.

Cole and Corey are taking care of the announcers’ desk, with Alisha Taylor looking after ring announcing duties.

Chad Gable has had surgery and will be out until further notice.

Becky Lynch will defend the Women’s Intercontinental Title at Evolution in a triple-threat match against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria

Seth Rollins and his merry band of bullies are on the way to the ring. Seth asked Paul for the mic, and Braun took it. Here we go again, targeting Sami Zayn. They will do everything possible to get rid of Sami, even if it means ending his career. What’s the best way to tick off the Universe, trash-talk their favourite stars? Now it’s Bronson Reed’s turn. Seth has not said anything. (I do have to admit that Seth plays the Heel well.)

Kairi Sane, now reimagined as a pirate princess, will be facing off against Roxanne Perez. Although Roxanne plays the villain role well, I’m becoming tired of her character. I’m hopeful that Kairi will win, but anything can happen in the ring. Meanwhile, Judgement Day is holding Kairi responsible for an injury. Raquel will be at the ringside during the match. Of course, help from Raquel, do you expect anything less? YES, just when everyone thought Roxy had the win, it was Kairi with a simple backslide getting the win. Asuka with an assist to Kairi. After that, I could see the Kabuki Warriors teaming up for the Tag Team Challenge at Evolution. Well, Adam Pearce just made it official.

Here comes New Day to complain about everything wrong because they lost. They are dressed in black, mourning their loss.

The winner of the Women’s Battle Royal at Evolution gets a title match at Clash in Paris.

Sami Zayn is facing Bun Brekker, but I have a feeling Karrion Kross is lurking around and may interfere. (told u) Kross just took out Sami as he was walking to the ring. Sami is trying to have his match with Braun. This will be interesting, but I can’t see this lasting long. Do I need to tell you who won?

Becky Lynch is in the ring, cutting a promo heading to Evolution. Bayley is on her way to the ring, joining Bayley. The triple-threat match for Evolution has already been announced.

Jey Uso is in the ring for his match with Bronson Reed, who had said that he would take Jey out of action. Seth is trying to eliminate those he feels stand in his way of taking the WWE to the heights that “He” thinks it should be. Well, here comes the pick-off of Jey. (Yes, I know it’s all storyline, but it’s getting old. Can we do something different with the heels?) Jey is walking out with help, but Adam tells Bronson to leave.

El Grande Americano is in action against Dragon Lee. If you do a little digging, you can sort out that it’s actually Ludwig Kaiser. Chad Gable is actually out, recovering from shoulder surgery. Even used the steel plate just like Chad. Rubbish match in my book.

Karrion Kross is pissed that Sami beat him so he is going after Sami at every turn. Had told Jackie that he would show up every time Sami showed up and still take a medal pipe with him, to take Sami out.

Gunther is on his way to the ring to cut a promo for his match with Goldberg at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Goldberg just showed up. Gunther’s usual ploy, run his mouth and then run away.

Penta is heading to the ring for his match with Seth Rollins. The only thing Seth wants is to take out Penta, whom he considers a roadblock to what he wants. Seth is bleeding, thanks to Penta. A low blow, along with a stomp, takes care of Penta. Here comes the post-match beatdown of Penta. L.A. Knight with a BFT on Rollins, which saved Penta.
