Welcome back to another edition of Monday Night Raw!! Yesterday we very suddenly informed that Samantha Irvine would be making her imminent departure and replacing her would be none other than Lilian Garcia!!
That wasn’t the only major surprise, last night we finally so Scarlett show signs of joining active competition once more! During a Tag Team Title #1 Contendership match, the lights go out, and the Wyatt Sicks are here! Nikki Cross splashes Scarlett. A fight breaks out between them & the Final Testament.
Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviewed Damage CTRL ahead of their NXT match the next night. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez interrupted, sparking tensions between the two teams. Io Sky, clearly irritated by the interruption, issued a challenge to Liv for a match later that night, which Liv promptly accepted.
Damage CTRL vs. Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez
The tag team bout saw Liv and Raquel square off against Io and Kairi Sane of Damage CTRL. Raquel’s raw power shined as she blocked a rana and lifted both of her opponents, but Io and Kairi’s teamwork kept Raquel on the defense. A thrilling sequence saw missile dropkicks, double dropkicks, and a dragon screw from Io, keeping Liv and Raquel scrambling. But the match spiraled out of control when Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend from NXT interfered, attacking Io and Kairi, causing a disqualification.
Winners: Damage CTRL via DQ
As Liv and Raquel tried to regroup, Rhea Ripley’s music hit, and the arena erupted. Raquel attempted to stand up to Rhea, but a brutal headbutt sent her flying over the ropes. Liv, trying to escape, found herself exchanging strikes with Rhea before getting caught in the Prism Trap. Dominik Mysterio’s attempt to save Liv was short-lived, as Rhea locked him in the same hold, before Liv and Raquel barely managed to pull him out and retreat up the ramp, leaving Rhea to stand tall in the ring.
In another brief moment, Zelina Vega and Ivy Nile got into an altercation during the American Made vs. Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee match.
