WWE Raw begins on Netflix!
We see a video recap of last week's episode, with Jacob Fatu challenging Roman Reigns for the Heavyweight World Championship at WWE Backlash.
Roman Reigns meets with The Usos at a table. "The OTC" thanks them for accompanying him tonight. Reigns makes it clear that the past is the past. However, they are family and the only ones he can trust. Roman has thought a lot this past week, and still doesn't understand what Jacob Fatu wants. Jimmy Uso understands that Fatu wants the best for his family. Jey, on the other hand, warns Reigns that "The Samoan Werewolf" is dangerous and unpredictable. Additionally, if he defeats Roman, he will take everything from him: the championship, the UIa Fala, and even the family. Jey believes that Fatu must face the consequences for disrespecting "The OTC". Roman thanks his cousins for their opinions, which he will consider before making his decision tonight. The three of them clench their fists as a family to end this segment.
BURN IT DOWN!
Seth Rollins is the one to open tonight's show. Fans chant "The Visionary's" theme as he heads to the ring. "Laredo, Texas, welcome to Monday Night Rollins!", he exclaims to start his promo. Rollins assures that his loss to Gunther at WrestleMania 42 and the fact that Roman Reigns holds his Heavyweight World Championship are due to one reason: Bron Breakker, whom he doesn't hesitate to call.
Breakker and Paul Heyman make their entrance.
Breakker stands in front of Seth, glaring at him. Both men silently observe each other as the audience chants Rollins' theme music. "I gave you everything. I gave you the world. I put it in your hands on a silver platter. And you repay me by taking it all away?", asks Seth. He wants to know why Breakker did it and what he gained from it.
Heyman hands a microphone to Breakker. He claims that Seth didn't give him anything. Not to him or the rest of The Vision. Bron states that Seth has no one. He's a man without friends who only needed a team to fix all the problems he caused. "I never needed you. Nor your Vision. The only reason we're here today is because I needed him", says Breakker pointing at Paul Heyman.
Rollins states that this response confirmed everything he thought about him was true. Seth recalls the first time he met him. It was in NXT. Rollins wanted to face the best the brand had to offer, and Shawn Michaels suggested he face Bron. At that moment, Seth knew he was facing a unique talent. And that's why a couple of years later he recruited him for The Vision. Rollins claims that Breakker has everything to be the next big star in this business. Everything, except brains. Seth knows very well what it feels like to be a young guy starting out in WWE, and the tough decisions that have to be made. The difference between them is that Breakker tries, while Rollins succeeded. "You're not ready", says "The Visionary".
Breakker reminds Seth that, before he interfered in his path, he was on his way to the main event of WrestleMania. Additionally, Rollins is no longer fit to bear the burden of a world championship. Breakker recalls that he lost to the best. Seth, on the other hand, lost to someone who proclaims himself as such. Bron states that Rollins is the best in the world... at being number two.
Seth speaks again. "The Visionary" wants to give him the opportunity to prove he's ready. That's why he challenges him to a match at WWE Backlash. "Let me reveal a secret that I think everyone knows, except you. Steiner, you're not even number two in your own family", says Seth before leaving. Rollins stops on the entrance ramp to smile. Meanwhile, Bron watches him in silence. And so we reach the end of this segment.
We see the arrival of some of tonight's protagonists: Bayley, Lyra Valkyria, Joe Hendry, Becky Lynch, and Stephanie Vaquer, who is attacked by The Judgment Day's women! Raquel Rodriguez immobilizes the Chilean so that Roxanne Perez pushes a production box against her. Liv Morgan, who watches the scene attentively, crouches next to Stephanie. "Now this is over, because this is MY championship", says Liv before leaving with her teammates.
Ethan Page makes his entrance to witness the first match of the night alongside the commentary table.
Penta vs. Rusev
Rusev is the first to strike. The Bulgarian applies two consecutive suplexes to his opponent, followed by an Alabama Slam. Rusev kicks the masked man before standing on his face. Penta responds with a flurry of kicks to drive his rival out of the ring. Penta launches himself with a tope that hits the Bulgarian head-on. Ethan stands up to applaud the Mexican. However, he doesn't take long to reprimand him. The distraction allows Rusev to attack his opponent from behind.
The action returns to the ring. Penta launches himself with a springboard, but Rusev stops him with a superkick. Rusev performs several back sentons before taking his opponent against the ropes, where he kicks him again. Penta rolls to ringside. Rusev goes after him to throw him against one of the posts. Rusev drops his rival on the commentary table before bringing him back into the ring.
Penta takes advantage of his elevated position to surprise Rusev. The Mexican tries to dive with a suicide dive, but Rusev stops him with a right hand. Rusev throws Penta against the metal stairs before bringing him back into the ring. Both men exchange attacks on the top turnbuckle. Penta makes his rival fall before diving with a springboard clothesline.
Penta continues his offensive on Rusev, to whom he applies a Pendulum. Penta dodges a charge from the Bulgarian in one of the corners to respond with a backstabber. 1..2..NO. Rusev blocks a Mexican Destroyer with a bodydrop. Rusev continues with a Machka Kick before looking for the Accolade. However, Penta slips under his feet to escape. Penta grabs the ropes to deceive the Bulgarian, surprising him with a roll-up. 1..2..3.
Winner: Penta
Rusev attacks Penta right after the match. The Mexican recovers to turn the situation around. However, he is soon attacked from behind by Page. He and Rusev join forces to attack the Intercontinental Champion.
Je'Von Evans comes to the rescue!
Je'Von expels Rusev from the ring before diving with a springboard onto "All Ego". Rusev returns, only to receive the impact of a superkick from Penta. Evans finishes off the Bulgarian with an OG Cutter. Evans and Penta celebrate in the ring as the segment comes to an end.
The Americans carry out a backstage promo. El Grande Americano recalls that, in a few weeks, he will have the most important match of his career. A mask vs. mask match against Original El Grande Americano. El Grande Americano has a lot to fight for: for his name, for his colors, and for his home. And that's why he needs to prepare well. El Grande Americano believes there is no better way to do it than by respectfully challenging the company's greatest wrestling legend: Rey Mysterio. "Boss, it would be an honor to prepare and share the ring with you tonight here in Laredo, Texas", says El Grande Americano to end his promo.
Becky Lynch makes her entrance. The Irishwoman claims that her victory at WrestleMania 42 marked the beginning of a new era for "The Man". She boasts of having finally ended AJ Lee and her terrible title reign. Now the championship is around the waist of someone who truly deserves it. The Irishwoman is proud to be the first WWE superstar to win four different championships at WrestleMania, as well as the first woman to win three Intercontinental championships. She is also the woman with the most victories in the grand event. "Undertaker, I'll come for your record next," she says.
Becky states that, because of all this, she is the greatest wrestler of all time. And it's not just her saying it, but also Sports Illustrated and Bleacher Report. However, the best part happened after the match, when Becky approached her daughter to carry her in her arms backstage. It was then that she realized she had to be the champion everyone wants to see. A champion who defends the title. And that's exactly what she'll do. "The Man" issues an open challenge to any woman on the roster who wants to shine. She wants to face new faces, the best of the best. Whoever believes they are ready just needs to come out, look her in the eye, and ask for their opportunity.
IYO SKY responds to the challenge!
IYO steps into the ring, where she quickly asks for a microphone. "IYO, IYO!", chant the fans. "I accept," says the Japanese wrestler. Becky refuses, as SKY doesn't fit the profile. The fans boo. Lynch then wonders if SKY came out to respond to the challenge on behalf of Rhea Ripley. If so, maybe she could become "Becky 2 Belts" again. "I wanted to face Shawn Michaels, not Marty Jannetty. And clearly you've been holding her back", says the Irishwoman. Upset, IYO hits Lynch, who quickly escapes the ring.
Becky is about to leave through the crowd area when Adam Pearce appears on the scene. The General Manager reminds the Irishwoman that she issued a challenge, and it has been answered by IYO. That's why she must return to the ring because her title defense will take place here and now. SKY celebrates Pearce's decision, at which point Becky returns to surprise her from behind. Meanwhile, Victoria D'Errico arrives in the ring to act as the referee. However, the match cannot begin because the champion and the challenger continue to fight at ringside. IYO brings Becky back into the ring, and finally D'Errico can order the bell to ring.

Original El Grande Americano approaches Rey Mysterio in the men's locker room. Original El Grande Americano wonders what relationship the legend has with that El Grande Americano impostor, as he has seen them fraternizing recently. Original El Grande Americano asks if he should worry once he unmasks the impostor. Rey assures him that he shouldn't. In fact, all he wants is for both men to respect Mexican wrestling. "At the end of the day, the baddest wrestler, that's the one who's going to win", says Mysterio in Spanish. "Hmmmm. Yes. Okay. Yes.", responds Original El Grande Americano using the few Spanish words he knows. Suddenly, The Americans appear on the scene. El Grande Americano asks Mysterio why he's talking to his enemy. Original El Grande Americano asks his nemesis not to interfere in his affairs, leading to a heated argument. Rey yells at them to bring order before assuring them that he's not taking sides with any of them. Bravo and Rayo hope that's the case. Rey asks them if they are threatening him. "You know what? I'll see you in the ring", says El Grande Americano. "And I'll see you in the ring too!", responds Mysterio. The Americans leave to end this segment.
Byron Saxton interviews The Usos backstage to get a preview of Roman Reigns’ plans ahead of his promo tonight. LA Knight quickly interrupts the interview to speak with the Samoans. “The Megastar” wonders if Jey and Jimmy are sitting back at the table with Roman. LA Knight reminds Jey that he is a former world champion, so he doesn’t understand why he’s going back to being his cousin’s lackey. As for Jimmy, he also has the potential to be a world champion, but he’ll never be one under Reigns’ shadow. Jey interrupts LA Knight to make it clear he has no right to interfere in their family business. It’s none of his concern. “The Megastar” respects that they both care about their family, but a return of “The Bloodline” would mean a concentration of power. “That kind of power eventually corrupts. And when it does, it becomes my problem. YEAH.” says LA Knight before leaving.
Joe Hendry makes his entrance. Guitar in hand, the Scotsman sits in the center of the ring to perform a concert. Hendry sings a song to announce his signing with Monday Night Raw. Joe continues his song, stating that he respects “The Ruler” and acknowledges “The OTC,” but wonders if it’s possible to make a small change. “Adam Pearce, if you’re listening, could you make a change for me? Paul, Paul. Can we fire Logan Paul?” goes the chorus.
A furious Logan Paul (accompanied by Austin Theory) storms onto the stage to interrupt the concert!
“The Maverick” raises his World Tag Team Championship, making it clear that no one can fire him. Paul congratulates Joe on his first night on Raw. However, it will also be his last, because he just made the biggest mistake of his life. Austin and Logan step onto the apron. Theory points out that the championships they carry are proof that they are winners. Hendry, however, disagrees. The Scotsman watched WrestleMania, including their tag match. And what he saw was a pair of losers.
Furious, Austin and Logan throw Hendry’s small set out of the ring. “This mat right here belongs to The Vision. That camera that flies over everyone belongs to The Vision. And The Vision flies over everyone. And you, my friend, are lucky, because we’re going to fly over you too.” says Theory before shoving Joe. He performs his signature spin to charge at the heels, but soon falls due to the numbers disadvantage. At that moment…
The Street Profits rush onto the stage!
Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins run into the ring to attack members of The Vision. After a few moments, Paul and Theory retreat to ringside. Suddenly, Hendry dives onto them. The Scotsman returns to the ring to join The Street Profits in celebrating to the rhythm of his entrance theme. And so this segment comes to an end.
Adam Pearce speaks with Grayson Waller backstage. The Australian is tired of the General Manager handing out opportunities to everyone except him. He even gave a guy the chance to sing a song in the ring. “Where’s my opportunity?” Grayson asks. “Oba Femi,” Pearce replies. Waller says the Nigerian is overrated and that his biggest achievement was defeating Brock Lesnar in his retirement match. Pearce explains he was just saying that Femi was behind him. Fearful, Grayson turns around to face the Nigerian. “Do you want an opportunity?” Oba asks. “Pearce, please give him a match against me tonight.” he adds before leaving. The General Manager accepts “The Ruler’s” request, ignoring Waller’s excuses.
Joe Hendry and The Street Profits walk backstage singing the chorus of the Scotsman’s song. Joe thanks them for their help tonight. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins are happy to help. Ford jokes with him, suggesting he find a different-colored shirt now that he’s part of the WWE Raw roster. Hendry shakes hands with the former tag champions before leaving. At that moment, Seth Rollins approaches Ford and Dawkins. “Guys, about last week,” says “The Visionary” before being interrupted. Montez and Angelo make it clear that not everything revolves around him. Last week was about the tag team championships. “You’re not special,” Ford says before leaving with his partner. Seth remains silent as the segment ends.
El Grande Americano (with Bravo and Rayo Americano) vs. Rey Mysterio
Both men begin the match with an initial grappling exchange. El Grande Americano tries to pin Rey, but Rey doesn’t make it easy. Mysterio and El Grande Americano applaud each other as a sign of respect. El Grande Americano extends his hand to Rey. Rey quickly shakes it, only to kick his opponent in the stomach. El Grande Americano quickly responds. Rey surprises his rival with a hurricanrana that sends him into the second rope. Mysterio builds momentum for a 619, but El Grande Americano stops him with a kick. 1..2..NO.
El Grande Americano violently throws Rey into a corner. Mysterio quickly recovers. The legend kicks his opponent’s face before covering him. 1..2..NO. Mysterio unleashes a flurry of punches on his opponent in the corner. “1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8! 9! 10!” the fans chant with each strike. El Grande Americano dodges a charge in that same corner, causing his opponent to crash into it.
Rey halts his opponent’s offense with a body drop. El Grande Americano tries to counter, but Mysterio prevents it. Rey launches himself at El Grande Americano to execute a spectacular tornado DDT. Mysterio sends El Grande Americano into the ropes. He then rebounds from the opposite side, at which point Bravo grabs his legs to trip him. The referee notices something happened. Rey and the official argue with Bravo as Rayo approaches El Grande Americano.
Rayo tries to slip a metal plate under his leader’s mask. However, Mysterio stops him by executing a 619 that hits Rayo’s back. The plate ends up in El Grande Americano’s hands, who prepares to put it on. Suddenly, Original El Grande Americano appears to stop him. Both men struggle. Rey takes advantage to surprise El Grande Americano, sending him into the ropes. Mysterio finishes him with a 619. 1..2..3.
Winner: Rey Mysterio
Rey heads up the entrance ramp when Original El Grande Americano attacks his nemesis from behind. Both men brawl in the ring until several officials rush out to separate them. And so this segment comes to an end.
Asuka delivers a backstage promo aimed at IYO SKY. “IYO, did you think you were done with me? I decide when we’re done. Because I’m still your senpai. Everything I’ve done has been to help you. Everything you’ve done is disappoint me. For a long time, I blamed myself for your mistakes. I thought I did something wrong for you to turn your back on me. But I finally realized that you were the problem. You’re ungrateful, selfish, and my greatest failure. I didn’t fail you. You failed me. You failed your family. And now we’re both alone, because I don’t want another IYO. I had forgiven you until now because I thought we could be a family again. But now that you’ve destroyed this family, nothing will stop me from destroying you. So, at Backlash, I will correct my failure. I will teach you one final lesson. And that lesson is that you are not, and never will be, ready for Asuka.” says “The Empress of Tomorrow.”
Oba Femi vs. Grayson Waller
Grayson tries to attack Oba while keeping his distance. Femi blocks a kick and responds with a clothesline. Oba delivers several corner uppercuts on the Australian, who quickly escapes to ringside. Femi goes after him, but Waller surprises him with help from the ropes. Grayson returns to attempt his Rolling Thunder Stunner, but Oba blocks it and tosses him into the air. “The Ruler” hits a flying uppercut before finishing him with a decisive Fall From Grace. 1..2..3.
Winner: Oba Femi
“Ooooooooba, Oooooooooba!” chant the fans as the referee raises the Nigerian’s arm. He grabs a microphone and asks the crowd if they’re having a good time—something Waller can’t relate to. However, Femi admits the Australian is right about one thing: there are no opportunities on Raw. That’s why he’s found a solution. “Ladies and gentlemen, starting today, the Oba Femi Open Challenge begins!” he declares. The Nigerian invites any man in the locker room to step up and prove himself against “the top of the mountain.” “But I won’t take your decision lightly, because when you come out here, I will be ruthless and relentless. I will punish you. I will make sure of it. Because you won’t be stepping into the ring with just any man. You’ll be stepping in with ‘The Ruler,’ Oba Femi.” His theme, Hands of Fate, plays again as the crowd continues chanting. Femi poses once more as the segment ends.
We move to The Judgment Day clubhouse, where Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Roxanne Perez boast about their attack on Stephanie Vaquer. Morgan makes it clear that the faction runs Monday Night Raw. With that said, she asks Rodriguez to leave her alone with Roxy. Raquel has no issue with it and heads off to keep warming up. Once alone, Morgan reminds Perez they have a conversation pending. Liv knows Finn Bálor was the one who brought her into the group and hopes she understands they had to deal with the Irishman. Liv knows Roxanne was very close to Finn and that it couldn’t have been easy watching what happened from home. “I just want you to know we’re a family, Roxanne, and Finn Bálor put his own interests before the family’s. That’s something I would never do to you. I want to support you the same way you’ve supported me.” Liv then says she’ll be at ringside tonight to support her in her match, one that will be the first step toward reclaiming the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. Morgan takes her partner’s hand. “Do you trust me, my little Roxy?” she asks. Perez nods. Satisfied, Liv says it’s time to go, but Roxanne needs a bit more time. Morgan understands and says she’ll wait in the ring. Perez remains silent, serious and thoughtful, when suddenly Finn Bálor appears. “The Prodigy” says he shouldn’t be there. Finn knows, but he needs to warn her not to trust The Judgment Day. “I can’t trust them? Or I can’t trust you?” Perez asks. She makes it clear she trusts The Judgment Day. “I have a match to prepare for. Leave before you get hurt.” “You know what? Good luck with your match. I hope you know what you’re doing,” Bálor replies before leaving.

Winners: The Judgment Day

A promotional video airs featuring Sol Ruca, who will officially sign with WWE Raw next week.
Roman Reigns makes his entrance to a thunderous reaction. “OTC! OTC!” chant the fans as he raises his World Heavyweight Championship on the entrance ramp. Fireworks explode throughout the arena. Roman heads to the ring. “OTC! OTC!” the crowd chants again. Reigns soaks it in. “They created this title to try to take away my shine, but it never worked,” Roman says. “There’s an old saying: ‘The title doesn’t make the man. The man makes the title.’ And that’s exactly what I’ve done with this championship.” He recalls headlining WrestleMania with the title and making it relevant. Now fans can truly be proud of it. “Now you can respect this title. Now you can choose to acknowledge this title. In fact, let’s prove it. Laredo, Texas… ACKNOWLEDGE ME!”
Jacob Fatu makes his entrance.
“The Samoan Werewolf” stands face to face with Reigns. Roman says he arrived at the perfect time because he was about to talk about him. Reigns reminds him he gave him a week to think about his challenge. Now he hopes Jacob makes the right choice and joins the family to strengthen it rather than divide it. Fatu says he didn’t need a week—or even a day. He still feels the same: he doesn’t want the World Heavyweight Championship, he NEEDS it. Fatu has spent twelve years working for his family without knowing if he’d ever make it to WWE. Now he stands before Reigns—and it wasn’t Roman or The Usos who brought him in, but Solo Sikoa.
Roman makes it clear that Sikoa has no power in WWE. “The OTC” runs this place. And contrary to what Jacob might think, Roman never forgot about him. “I never forgot you. I was the one who approved your signing.” He says Jacob seems lost. “You look like a fool to me. You don’t deserve this. You didn’t earn it. Let YOU face ME? That’s nepotism. I can’t do that.” Roman says before being attacked by a furious Fatu.
“The Samoan Werewolf” grabs the champion by the throat and begins battering him with headbutts. “I’m going to take everything from you! EVERYTHING!” Jacob shouts before leaving the ring. Roman crawls to the ropes, gasping for air. “JACOB!” he yells to stop him. “You want me at Backlash!? I’LL SEE YOU AT BACKLASH!” shouts “The OTC” before throwing the mic down. “Backlash? I’m not waiting until Backlash. I’ll see you next week on Monday Night Raw,” Fatu mutters as he heads backstage. And so this week’s episode comes to an end.
