WWE RAW

This week’s RAW opens with Big Time Becks making her way to the ring where she will be watching the first match of the night.

Lynch gets in the ring as we see a replay as to how she got herself into the RAW Women’s Championship match at Hell In A Cell. Lynch welcomes us to Monday Night RAW and says, truth be told, she hasn’t felt up to coming out and putting on a brave face without her title. Especially when so many of the fan craved her downfall. Luckily for her, she doesn’t run on what the fans want, she runs on spite and coffee and she’s all fuelled up.

Lynch says she collects enemies and she will continue to collect them as she rises to the top. And she’s only days away from getting back to the top. At Money In The Bank, 2020, Asuka won the briefcase atop Titan Towers. Then she gave Asuka her Women’s Championship as she went off to create life like the God she is. And she did so under the impression that she would come back and reclaim her title and never let it go. But now she sees she created an entitled monster who thinks they should be handed opportunities.

The Empress of Tomorrow comes out and calls Becky a “big time baby”. Asuka pretends to cry and shouts at her in Japanese. She says no-one is ready for Asuka, not Bianca and not Becky because at Hell In A Cell she will be the new RAW Women’s Champion. Bianca Belair comes out next and says they’re both crying too much. She isn’t complaining that she has to defend her title in a Triple Threat, it is what it is.

Bianca likes to do her talking in the ring. Belair respects Asuka but last week Asuka kicked her, so tonight she’s going to have something to say. And Becky? She’s got a lot to get off her chest on Sunday. And she doesn’t care what her odds are on Sunday, but she knows she will 100% be retaining the title. Becky jabs Belair, then all three women start brawling. Belair throws Becky to the apron and Asuka knocks her off.

*Commercial Break*

Bianca Belair Vs. Asuka

Becky Lynch is on commentary for this one and the match begins with a lock-up and Belair takes Asuka down. Belair catches Asuka with a shoulder tackle, then leapfrogs her and taunts. Belair attempts a handstand but Asuka kicks her in the gut. Asuka tries to throw Belair but the Champion lands on her feet, spanks herself, then flips over Asuka and hits a dropkick.

Belair throws Asuka a couple of times, but then gets caught with a drop toe hold onto the bottom buckle. Now it’s Asuka turn to throw Bianca around. Belair counters Asuka and hits a suplex, then looks for another but Asuka rolls into an ankle lock. Belair gets free but Asuka immediately jumps on her wiht a guillotine choke.

Asuka powers out and lands a suplex, followed by a handspring moonsault for a two-count. Asuka tries to lock-in an armbar but Belair deadlifts her up and they both go over the ropes and land on the floor. Lynch gets up from the commentary desk and looks at both women on the ground as we head to the break.

She gets back inside, counters Belair and hits a pop-up knee. Asuka snatches Belair and gets the Asuka Lock but Belair fights it and climbs to her feet to run Asuka into the buckles.

Belair counters Asuka’s attempt to grab the Asuka Lock again, and she hits the Glam Slam. Belair hits the ropes and attempts the springboard moonsault again but Asuka rolls out of the way. There may have been some discombobulation but Belair won with a random pin.

Winner: Bianca Belair

As soon as the math ends, Lynch gets in the ring and attacks them both. She hits Asuka with an exploder suplex, then hits Belair with the Manhandle Slam.

Kevin Owens loses it after the match. He wrecks the announce desk and screams at Jimmy Smith.

Cody Rhodes makes his way to the ring. He’ll be responding to Seth Rollins’s attack last week.

*Commercial Break*

Cody is in the ring and he says he has always been a fan of Seth Rollins. From the first time he saw him he saw the potential. His father also saw that potential. He told Cody all about the special abilities Seth had that would make him a generational talent. And obviously Rollins has lived up to all that hype. So imagine his surprise when he got the call to face Seth at WrestleMania… he was nervous.

After leaving he could not return to WWE with a loss, and he didn’t. And when they ran it back he won again. Losing twice has drove Seth Rollins mad. He’s an egomaniac and he wants everything for himself, but that’s what makes him dangerous. On Sunday he walks into the biggest challenge of his career and he needs Seth to know that all of his respect and all of his self controll will be locked outside the Cell. Rollins will be locked inside with a man that wantto hurt him.

Rollins’s music hits and he comes out through the crowd. Rollins says Cody can wax poetic all night long about his motivations but it’s very simple: he doesn’t like Cody. He doesn’t want him in WWE, he tried to accept the new version of him but every week the pandering got worse and the chants got louder, and now all he hears is “Cody!” He can’t stand it any longer. Rollins says Cody left six years ago because he wasn’t good enough.

And every day that Cody was gone, him and his little friends tried to tear down what he was building. And when that didn’t work out, he came running back to fulfill the family legacy. Not on his watch. He doesn’t get to be the conquering hero in his kingdom. He can’t take a sledgehammer to the throne, then come back and try to take the throne. He doesn’t like him and he doesn’t want him in WWE.

In six days, inside Hell In A Cell he’s going to pray on his insecurities and he’s going to end him. And then they can all wake up from this American nightmare. Rhodes asks what is stopping him from running up into the crowd right now? As polite as he’s been, the time for talk is over. Rhodes tells Seth to come down to the ring and talk face-to-face, then takes his jacket and tie off. Rollins starts down the stairs but stops at the barricade and laughs.

Cody jumps over the barricade and they start brawling in the crowd! They punch and slam each other into the hockey boards. Rollins pokes the eyes and lifts him up but Cody slides off and tackles him through the barricade! Cody gets on top of Seth and punches him until officials come down and separate them. Rollins breaks free and jumps on Cody again but they’re pulled apart by a dozen officials. Cody then breaks free and he attacks Rollins until they’re pulled apart and the fans are chanting “this is awesome”.

The Miz comes to the ring for the latest edition of Miz TV. He builds-up the Season 3 premiere of Miz & Mrs, and says his wife, Maryse, will be on RAW next week. The Street Profits come out and interrupt Miz. Montez Ford, who looks like he’s gained a substantial amount of muscle, introduces him and Dawkins as Miz’s guests.

The duo talk about their hype for Hell In A Cell and make fun of Miz for losing last week to Cody. They make Miz very angry and he holds his hand up and Dawkins high fives him. Suddenly Dana Brooke runs down with the 24/7 Championship and she’s followed by Tozawa, Apollo Crews, Tamina, R-Truth, and T-Bar. Tozawa gets hit with a sit-out chokeslam from T-Bar, then Ford superkicks him.
