Seth Rollins’ knee injury is legitimate. Waiting on scans. Seth was supposed to win the match against L.A. Knight, but the injury ended the match, so Seth had to seek medical attention.
I am not happy that Naomi cashed in on the Rhea/Iyo match. (Yes, I know it’s the MITB rules) The ladies gave everything they had and more, and to have it end the way it did, those two need to have a positive impact for all that work and get nothing in the end.
Cole and Corey are at the announcer’s desk with Alicia Taylor taking care of Ring Announcing duties.
19 days til SummerSlam.
Gaunlant Match to find the #1 contender for Gunther’s title at SummerSlam.
Naomi is on her way to the ring to open the show. (just not happy with this story)I’m a Rhea fan; the belt needs to be back on her. Rhea is on her way to the ring. Rhea is ticked off, you can see it. Here comes Iyo Skye also. Adam Pearce is out; she has welcomed Naomi to RAW. Adam just made it a triple threat match at Summerslam with the World title on the line between Rhea, Iyo, and Naomi.
(SummerSlam card starting to be built with Slam now 2 nights) All belts are usually on the line.
Kabuki Warriors (Asuka/Kairi Sane) facing Roxanne/Raquel. No titles are on the line. Finn sent Dom to the ring with Raquel/Roxy. He did not look impressed. Raquel is still not happy, you can see. Thanks to Dom, the Warriors had the win, but nothing is new. Of course, thanks to Dom and a little help from Raquel, they get the win. (This is another storyline I am tired of protecting the tag titles. Why did they even have the titles defended if this story was going to continue? Let’s hope that at SummerSlam, they finally change hands.
Lyra Valkyria is facing Bayley in a two out of three falls match for the #1 contendership for the right to face Becky at SummerSlam. Bayley got the first pin. Bayley is showing some of her heel days, doing some of those things no matter what, to get the pin. Lyra gets the second pin. (Lyra and Bayley have brought it for this match, and it has been amazing.) Lyra gets the final pin. That match was just amazing for both of the ladies. Lyra will face Backy at SummerSlam for the Women’s Intercontinental title.
Nikki Bella is in the ring to face Chelsea Green. Nikki’s first singles match on RAW in 7 years. After taking out Piper/Alba Nikki with the win, but the post-match beatdown as usual. Stephanie Vaquer is out to assist Nikki.
Adam informed Dirty Dom that he will undergo a medical evaluation next week. Once cleared, he will face AJ Styles at SummerSlam.
Gunther is in the ring, cutting a promo. Gunther says he doesn’t care who his opponent will be; no one is good enough to face him. Paul and Braun are in the ring, Paul carrying the MITB case. (Seth’s injury does make a difference. It could throw things into real chaos. I have been reading that Braun will turn on Seth at some point.
The Gauntlet Match (where the only way to win is by pinfall or submission) begins with Braun Breaker facing Penta. Although Braun could have pinned Penta, he chose not to. Out of nowhere, Penta delivers a spear. L.A. Knight is entered as participant #2 on his way to the ring. At this moment, the match feels too predictable since Braun is dominating the Gauntlet; there has to be a surprise twist.
