Welcome back to another edition of Monday Night Raw! It’s gonna be a brief one folks, let’s dive in.
The Judgment Day kicked off the night by boasting about their brutal beatdown of Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley last week. They vowed to inflict even more damage at their upcoming showdown in Berlin. Dominik Mysterio attempted to speak, but the crowd’s boos drowned him out as he hinted that Liv Morgan has make him do things he never thought he was capable of before.
In an 8-man tag team match, Judgment Day faced off against LWO, with the Women’s World Champion at ringside. Judgment Day emerged victorious but their celebration was cut short when Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley. The Terror Twins, stormed out to seek revenge for last week’s attack. Liv and Dominik quickly scurried, setting the stage for a mixed tag match this Saturday.
Backstage, PFC took a moment to brag about the damage they’ve inflicted on Dakota Kai, The KCs, and Zelina Vega.
Damage CTRL vs. Pure Fusion Collective
Io Sky and Zoey Stark kicked things off, but Shayna Baszler quickly tagged in and sent Sky crashing to the floor, allowing Deville to get a cheap shot in before the break.
After the break, Kairi Sane tagged in, unleashing a flurry of spinning backfists and a sliding lariat on Baszler. Sane followed up with a top-rope forearm for a near fall. Baszler countered with an ankle lock, and Stark added a missile dropkick, but it wasn’t enough to keep Sane down.
The tide turned when the returning Zelina Vega appeared, taking out Deville. With the distraction, Sane knocked Stark down, and Sky dove onto Baszler. Sane then hit the Insane Elbow on Stark to secure the pinfall victory for Damage CTRL.
Winner: Damage CTRL
Not much else on Raw, Ivy and Nikki were featured in the main event but otherwise a paint by numbers episode for the women. Liv/Rhea stuff is a major focal point of the show and is still getting a great response from the audience so I can’t throw too much shade it’s way, but I’ll be grateful once Dominik is no longer involved in the Women’s World Title scene.
