Hey ya’ll! Welcome to another edition of Monday Night Raw! We’re on the precipice of (briefly) going back to two hours and WWE isn’t wasting any time in getting their last licks. Let’s see how last night went!
Zoey Stark w/Pure Fusion Collective vs. Natalya w/Zelina Vega & Lyra Valkyria
The match begins with a strong collar-and-elbow tie-up. Natalya briefly gains control with a roll-up for a one count, but the intensity rises quickly with Stark shoving Natalya. As Natalya applies a side headlock, Stark tries to turn the tide by sending Natalya to the corner. Both women showcase their agility, but Natalya briefly seizes the momentum with a quick pinning combination for a two count.
Stark fights back by using the ropes to her advantage, landing an apron enzuigiri and a springboard missile dropkick. Stark maintains control throughout the commercial break, but Natalya shifts the momentum with a release German suplex and discus lariat. A back-and-forth exchange leads to multiple pin attempts. In the end, Natalya picks up the victory via a schoolgirl rollup. Welcome back Nattie!!
Winner: Natalya via Pinfall
Cathy Kelley was busy with two sets of interview. Both with the Terror Twins and both separately. Rhea Ripley was up first.
Kelley interviews Ripley about her knee injury, but the conversation takes a turn when Finn Balor interrupts. He confronts Rhea, accusing her of being selfish and blames her and Damian Priest for his recent troubles. Rhea, defiant, says they were a family, but if Finn wants to villainize her, so be it. She vows that at Bad Blood, The Judgment Day will face the wrath of The Terror Twins. Finn then reveals that he was the one who convinced Dominik to betray Rhea. Tensions rise as Jey Uso steps in to defend Rhea, telling Finn to focus on his own upcoming title match.
During Damian Priest’s interview with Kelley, Liv Morgan interrupts, mocking Priest for being washed up and labeling him a “has been.” Priest fires back, warning Liv to keep Dom safe because Rhea has unfinished business with her. Liv is unfazed, taunting Priest before storming off. Priest then vows to take out Dominik later in the night.
Bianca Belair w/Jade Cargill vs. Iyo Sky w/Kairi Sane
The bout begins with a classic collar-and-elbow tie-up, leading to a sequence of quick reversals and impressive athleticism from both women. Sky avoids Belair’s power moves, attempting a hurricanrana and crucifix bomb, while Bianca demonstrates her strength with a running vertical suplex and some taunting. The action goes back and forth with both competitors countering each other’s signature moves. Sky keeps fighting, landing a missile dropkick and a suicide dive. Belair tries to seal the match with a 450 splash, but Sky gets her knees up. In a thrilling end sequence, Sky evades Belair’s KOD and rolls her up with a small package for the victory.
Winner: Iyo Sky via Pinfall
In the main event, which had Priest taking on Mysterio, Morgan places Mysterio’s foot on the bottom rope, saving him from a loss. Ripley then tackles Liv over the announce table, escalating the chaos. After the match, The Judgment Day gang up on Priest as tensions spill over. Rhea targets Liv before being thrown into the steel steps.
The chaos intensifies as Judgment Day shifts focus to Priest, relentlessly attacking his left leg. Liv retaliates, nailing Rhea with the Oblivion.
The Terror Twins may vow victory at Bad Blood, but it is the Judgment Day that are standing tall at the end of Raw.
