Hey everyone! Phonie here with another Raw recap and I’m ngl it felt like I was walking into yesteryear to get used to this new format of the show. Let’s jump right in!
Rhea Ripley wasn’t exactly shocked that Liv Morgan pulled a fast one to hold onto her title. But Liv’s crafty little move only managed to hit the snooze button on Rhea’s inevitable takeover.
Raquel Rodriguez rolled into the arena with Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio tagging along. Liv was practically cackling over how Rhea still hasn’t snagged that championship. They all bailed after that, and we’re still left wondering if Raquel’s officially joined The Judgment Day.
Meanwhile, in a slice of NXT drama, GM Ava made her Raw appearance alongside Adam Pearce, just as former NXT Champion Ethan Page stormed in to complain about CM Punk’s antics in his title match last week. And right on cue, Sexxy Red made a surprise entrance.
Unholy Union/Pure Fusion Collective vs. Kayden Carter, Katana Chance, Natalya, Zelina Vega, and Lyra Valkyria.
Stark kicked things off—literally—sparking a giant brawl that spilled out of the ring faster than you could say commercial break. After the dust settled, Natalya crawled over to tag Vega, who came in like a house on fire. Vega stomped a mudhole in Deville, and we were treated to the usual parade of knockdowns. Valkyria wrapped it up with a top-rope axe kick to pin Deville and seal the win.
Winners: The Face Divas
This was your classic “cram ten women into seven minutes and hope for the best match.” Not much room for anyone to really shine here, but Valkyria picking up the pin might just be the momentum she needs to bounce back.
Finally, Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill vignette aired. The Tag Team Champions are gearing up for a showdown against Damage CTRL next week.
