Xia Li competes in her first match on Raw since being drafted to the brand six months ago. She took on Candice Michelle….errr I mean LeRae and the match was a short but effective one.
Li would win the match due to referee stoppage.
After a knee from Li would bounce LeRae ofd the ropes, Li hit her with a roundhouse kick knocking her out. LeRae would eventually try to get up but would stumble back in the corner. The referee held Li back as she called for the bell.
LeRae would exit the ring on her feet but with medical by her side. Later on we see LeRae backstage with ice as she is being checked by medical. She has Indi Hartwell, Kayden Carted, and Katana Chance with her.
Later in the night was the Trick or Street Fight match between one half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Chelsea Green and Natalya. Natalya was dressed as a bunny (not The Bunny) while Green was Bret Hart and Piper Niven was Natalya’s father Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart.
The match included candy corn kendo sticks, tables, chairs, pumpkins, bobbing for apples, and to mention actual candy corn! During the match, Nikki Cross made an appearance as was hiding under a pumpkin that was on a table. This spooked Green so much that she dropped a pumpkin on her head.
Final moments in the match had Green hit the Unprettyher for the win.
Becky Lynch was interviewed about her NXT Women’s Championship loss. She said that the title needed her, she didn’t need the title. She defended that gold more in 42 days than both Rhea Ripley and Roman Reigns have defended their titles.
Xia Li approached Becky saying she never got her championship opportunity and that she still wants a shot at Becky. She adds she will fight her on her own time. Lynch then says what everyone has been thinking, Xia has had the past three weeks.
This weekend on Nov. 4 at Crown Jewel, a Fatal Five way will take place for the Women’s World Title. The champion Rhea Ripley will defend against Raquel Rodriguez, Nia Jax, Zoey Stark, and Shayna Baszler. Each woman had a promo video air during this week’s Raw as a final build.
