WWE is celebrating a new episode of Monday Night Raw tonight, this time number 1,691, from the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. The show will be broadcast live on Netflix and Solowrestling will bring you the results in this news article as every week.
Tonight's episode will feature several matches and segments of interest, highlighting three title defenses. In addition, Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman will explain the reasons for their betrayal of Seth Rollins, as well as the future of the World Heavyweight Championship after "The Visionary's" injury. As always, we invite you to comment on the article to give your opinion on what happened in the show.
WWE Raw on Netflix begins!
We see a video recap of last week's events, with The Vision betraying Seth Rollins.
Adam Pearce welcomes us to Monday Night Raw. The General Manager is about to deliver important news when an SUV arrives at the parking lot of the venue. From inside, Bron Breakker gets out carrying the World Heavyweight Championship. Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman are the next to descend from the vehicle. The Vision heads to the ring.
Breakker, Reed, and Heyman stand in front of Pearce in the ring. Raw's General Manager is glad to have them here because he has something to inform them about. Pearce confesses that Seth Rollins ended up injured after his match at WWE Crown Jewel. At that time, the extent of the injury was unknown, but Bron and Bronson made it even worse after last week's brutal attack. That said, Adam announces that Seth will have to undergo surgery, which will keep him out of action for several months. Because of this, he must officially declare that the World Heavyweight Championship is vacant.
Pearce announces that a new champion will be crowned at Saturday Night's Main Event. CM Punk will be one of the men competing for the gold, as he earned his opportunity last week. His opponent will be the winner of a battle royal that will take place later tonight. The fans go wild. That said, Adam orders Bron to hand over the championship. "And if I don't want to?," a defiant Breakker asks.
Paul takes Bron aside to advise him on the matter. Breakker returns to demand some respect from Adam. "With all due respect, I ask you to hand me that championship," says the General Manager. Bron faces off with Adam. "CM Punk, CM Punk," the fans chant. "Please," says Bron. "Bron, with all due respect, I need you to hand me the World Heavyweight Championship, please," Pearce says. Bron smiles. Breakker pretends to hand over the belt, but ultimately places it in Heyman's hands. He decides to hand it to Pearce, who picks it up and leaves the ring. The General Manager heads back to the backstage area.
Heyman takes the floor to ask the fans why they are so angry with them. Paul assures that The Vision never had anything to do with Seth Rollins. Heyman points out that he did not betray Roman Reigns and CM Punk at WrestleMania for Seth, but for the true future of WrestleMania, Bron Breakker. He also did it because deep down in his heart, he knows that Bronson Reed is better than Roman Reigns. And he proved it in Australia when he took down "The Tribal Chief". "It was The Vision surpassing The Bloodline," says Heyman. That's when Rollins proclaimed himself the future of this business despite having a shoulder injury. "He is not a Visionary. He is not a Revolutionary. He is not the workhorse of The Shield. He is not the leader of The Vision. He is a bitch with a shattered shoulder," says Paul. Breakker and Reed laugh.
Heyman recalls that it is the winners who write history, which in this case are Bron and Bronson. Seth Rollins was the main event at WrestleMania, but he won't be again. That place has been taken from him by Breakker and Reed. Heyman assures that he is a considerate and compassionate person, and that it was Bron and Bronson who conspired against Rollins. "They had the ambition. They had what it took. They had the intensity to become WrestleMania main eventers. That's not revisionist history, it's a revision of the future," he says. Paul thanks the fans for their time before welcoming them to Monday Night Raw. "The Oracle" throws the mic to the mat to end the first segment of the night.
We see the arrival at the venue of some of tonight's protagonists: Alpha Academy in full, Stephanie Vaquer, and Rusev.
We move to The Judgment Day's clubhouse. Finn Bálor, JD McDonagh, and Raquel Rodriguez encourage Roxanne Perez before her match against Stephanie Vaquer tonight. Raquel reminds her partner that a victory over the Chilean would bring them a step closer to the women's world championship, which they want to regain for the faction. Dominik Mysterio appears on the scene. Bálor and McDonagh greet him with serious faces. Mysterio asks what's wrong with them. The Irishmen reproach him for what happened last week when a conversation between Dom and Adam Pearce ended with them being scheduled for a title defense tonight. Dominik assures them that he didn't say anything, except that he found it unfair to be the only one defending his Intercontinental Championship every week. He also doesn't understand where the problem is. He has already beaten AJ Styles twice, so he believes his partners can do the same. "Of course we can," says Bálor. He makes it clear that they will fulfill their mission. McDonagh hopes that Mysterio will also do his job, and that he can handle it alone, as they will be busy. The Irishmen head towards the ring. Perez approaches Dominik. "Dom, don't worry about them, okay? It'll pass. You're doing great. You're killing it. You're a double champion. You're keeping the gold in The Judgment Day as they want, so don't worry," says "The Prodigy". Mysterio thanks her for her words. Raquel asks Perez to focus on her match against Vaquer. Roxanne resumes her warm-up exercises as the segment comes to an end.

Jey points out that he wasn't angry with him, but with himself for falling into the same mistake he made in Paris. If Roman were here tonight... Jimmy reminds him that their cousin won't be here, nor will he be in the battle royal. Those who will be there are the two of them. Jimmy makes it clear that he didn't lose the world championship by helping others. He lost it because he stopped believing in himself. "Maybe you're right, Uce. And maybe Roman is right too," Jey replies. Jimmy hopes he sorts out his thoughts before tonight's battle royal because once there, he'll go against everyone, including Jey. "Then go all out. But, are we good?," asks Jey as he extends his hand. "YEET," Jimmy replies before bumping it. "I love you," says Jey before leaving. And so we come to the end of this segment.

Byron Saxton interviews Kofi Kingston and Grayson Waller in the crowd area. Byron reminds Kingston that tonight there was a great match for the World Tag Team Championships. That’s why he wants to know if The New Day has changed its pessimistic view of the division. Grayson admits it was a good match, but he doesn’t understand how AJ Styles and Dragon Lee got a title shot when they’re just a thrown-together team, unlike The New Day. That’s why they’re still dressed in black—because this division is deader than the Sacramento Kings. The fans boo the Australian for mocking the local team.
Kofi points out that Xavier Woods chose to stay home for his mental health, though he left two messages for the fans in Sacramento. First, that their kids are terrible, and second, that the tag team division is nothing without The New Day. Kofi recalls that he and Woods promised to take the division to the next level. Tonight, he and Waller will have the chance to revive the industry when one of them wins the battle royal, since that victory will take them straight to the World Heavyweight Championship. And when the gold is in their hands, everyone will have to thank them. In Woods’ absence, Grayson orders the fans to get on their knees and raise their arms to the sky to shout: “God, thank you for The New Day!”
We see Max Griffin and Nate Díaz in the front row.

The Kabuki Warriors cut a promo in a video segment. Asuka points out that Rhea Ripley got what she deserved last week. "Rhea, I want you to remember that it was me who ruined your homecoming," says "The Empress of Tomorrow." "The Kabuki Warriors broke your friend IYO’s spirit. The same Kabuki Warriors who took you down and broke your face." "Rhea, you destroyed our family, so you had to pay for that," adds Kairi Sane. Asuka screams, prompting "The Pirate Princess" to become defensive. "Kairi, last week you finally showed me what I always wanted to see from you. You showed me how aggressive you can be, and that’s exactly what The Kabuki Warriors are going to be. We’ve taken care of IYO and Rhea. Now we need a new challenge. We need gold around our waists. This is a warning to the entire tag division: The Kabuki Warriors are back," says Asuka to close the promo.
We see Paul Heyman waiting outside the General Manager’s office. After making him wait for 45 minutes, Adam Pearce finally comes out to meet him. Pearce informs him that he spoke with production to change the battle royal graphic. Heyman doesn’t understand what that has to do with him. Adam responds that it has everything to do with him, since the change means removing Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed from the match. "Would you like me to put Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed back into the battle royal?" the General Manager asks. Paul says yes. "Ask me nicely," Adam replies. "Mr. Pearce, would you consider putting Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed back into the battle royal, please?" Paul asks. Adam smiles. "NO," Pearce replies before slamming the door in "The Oracle’s" face.
Paul turns around and finds Becky Lynch, who immediately gets in his face. Fearful of "The Man," Heyman assures her he understands how she feels. However, he had no other choice. Had he not joined Bron and Bronson, his physical safety would have been at risk. Paul adds that Becky still has a place in The Vision as the winner she is. Heyman says he doesn’t need an answer now—he just asks her to think about the offer. Lynch grabs "The Oracle" by the tie and brings her face close to his ear. "Listen to me, you penguin-faced idiot. Your sleazy snake tricks don’t work on me, got it? I don’t like you. I’ve never liked you. I’ve never trusted you. And neither did my husband. But unlike the people you’ve taken advantage of, he didn’t need you. He used you. He knew you’d betray him. The truth is, he was just a little surprised it took you so long. But don’t worry, when he comes back, he’s not going to hurt you. You mean nothing to him. And you’ll be nothing without him. But all the people you care about in this industry, all the people you surround yourself with, any nepo baby you decide to pull toward you—he’s going to destroy them all. He won’t kill you, but you’ll wish he did," the Irishwoman says before walking away.

She then sets up for the Devil’s Kiss, but Roxanne rolls to the apron to avoid it. Perez grabs the ring skirt to try to free herself from the Chilean.

Now she has a big surprise for Valkyria, knowing her birthday is coming up. Lyra doesn’t want surprises. She wants Bayley to tell her what it is. "The Role Model" taps her on the arm. "It wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you, right? You’ll have to wait until next week. Can you be patient?" Bayley asks before walking away. "Honestly… not really. Not really," Valkyria replies, clenching her teeth.
Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed are talking backstage, lamenting Adam Pearce’s decision. Breakker suggests going to his office and stealing his shoes. Reed approves the idea. Paul Heyman enters the scene. Bron tells "The Oracle" he’s trying to understand something: they arrived at the venue with the World Heavyweight Championship. Then it was taken from them, and now they’re not even part of the battle royal that should grant them a shot to reclaim the title that belongs to them. "Please, help us understand," Breakker says. Paul reminds them that in 2002, a rookie named Brock Lesnar showed up. A guy who could have destroyed the entire roster on day one. And he didn’t, because he listened to Paul’s advice. Thanks to that, five months later he was facing The Rock, whom he would defeat to win the World Championship. In 2012, there was a guy—"The Best in the World"—who was about to be fired. But he listened to Paul’s advice. And thanks to that, he became one of the longest-reigning WWE Champions in modern history. And how many WrestleMania main events has Roman Reigns competed in? The Samoan listened to his advice. That’s how he became "The Tribal Chief," whose reign will be remembered forever. It’s not about who you can destroy—it’s about the politics and maneuvers backstage. "You want to see the vision of WWE’s future? You two should look in the mirror. That’s WWE’s future." says Paul before walking off. Bron smiles. "I've got a lot to learn, huh?" Breakker says. "Me too," replies the Australian. "And a lot of people to hurt," adds Bron. "Me too," says Reed.
Byron Saxton interviews Los Americanos in the crowd area. "First, I’ve got a question, güey. How many of my people are here tonight, güey? ¡Ahuevo, güey!" exclaims El Grande Americano in Spanish before Byron can ask anything. "Second, let me introduce you to my friends. Here we have Rayo Americano, and over here we have Bravo Americano," says El Grande Americano, asking for a round of applause for them.
Byron asks El Grande Americano how confident he is about winning tonight’s battle royal. "Tonight I’m going to eliminate everybody in the battle royal, güey. Then I’m going to beat CM Punk, güey. And finally, I’m going to take that championship back home, güey. To Mexico, güey! ¡Ahuevo!" he responds before walking away with his partners.
Stephanie Vaquer thanks Nikki Bella for her help tonight. If it hadn’t been for her, Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez would’ve beaten her down. Nikki says she wasn’t about to stand by and let the Texans attack her. Bella acknowledges they’ve only been friends for a few months, but even so, she’s proud of Stephanie because she’s taken control of the women’s division and elevated it in a short time. Bella has been a champion, and she knows that comes with a target on your back. So she promises she’s got her back. "Well, I owe you one," says Stephanie. Bella points out she now has two new enemies to deal with, so she’ll need Vaquer’s help. "Bonita, you had my back. Now I’ve got yours," says "La Primera". The two women hug to end the segment.
The participants of the battle royal make their entrances one by one, starting with The Usos. Once everyone is in the ring, CM Punk appears.
