Did you watch Wrestlemania? Well, they dedicated an entire PPV to remind you of what happened! Missed that, too?! Don’t worry, because RAW is here to remind you of what happened, too!
It’s Monday…you know what that means.
Randy Orton and Matt Riddle start the show after the recap of their match last night. Crowd is pro-Randy, as he welcomes us to RAW. Unfortunately, last night, they lost the battle to The Bloodline, but they will win the war. It was The Usos idea in the first place to unify the titles, but that didn’t happen. Nothing was on the line because a few weeks ago, Reigns tore up the contract because he knows The Usos cant hold a candle to RKBRO. So here’s what’s going to happen – they now want The Usos’ titles. THEY want to unify the titles.
Riddle says since it seems Usos cant make a decision, and Reigns makes them for them, they will go to Smackdown this Friday and hit Reigns up directly for the match. If he says no, it just goes to show his lack of confidence in The Usos.
The Street Profits stop Riddle short. Tough loss last night. The Bloodline are a tough squad, but RKBRO shouldn’t be worried about them, they should be worrying about The Street Profits. Ford takes offense to them talking about going over to Smackdown when they got next. THEY will unify the tag team championships. Why are they not mentioned. 420 shirts must have got their brains all fogged up because in a couple minutes, its them vs RKBRO for the titles. They want the smoke.
Riddle has something to say. RKBRO 420 says they just smoked their asses.

A RARE match for the WWE where I didn’t feel like the first half of the match didn’t matter at all. Ever minute of this ten minute affair was fun and even if it was heavy on the Orton offense, you cant argue with the love from the crowd. I’d gladly watch them go again.
Total Rating: ***3/4
Match Time: 10:17
Tonight, Cody Rhodes gets a shot at the US Title.
Kevin Patrick introduces Austin Theory. Patrick is standing high somewhere with the crowd behind him. Ah, it’s nearby the entrance ramp. Ok then.
Patrick asks Theory about Rhodes. How is Theory preparing?
Theory seems bothered. He can do this all day. He doesn’t need to prepare. He’s the youngest champion for a reason. He’s already great. Before his return at Mania, he was practically in diapers last time Rhodes was in the WWE. He doesn’t care about Cody or the past or respect and history. He is about the future, and the future is Theory.
Theory takes a selfie.
Recap of Rhea’s wrongdoings before Judgment Day comes out for some talky talk. Edge is sporting a short haircut.
Edge takes in the hatred from the crowd, says they formed this group because they were tired of being sheep like all of us. What did that get them? It got Edge a Hall of Fame ring? Big Deal. He’s bigger than the Hall of Fame. It also got him surgery on damn near every part of his body. We sit here with our supposed morals then hide our resentment and go home and hide behind a keyboard. They hold the mirrors up to us all and we don’t like what we see because we are ugly. They love what they see. AJ Styles and all of us morons do not understand that nothing and no one can touch them.
Priest says truth hurts. Individually, Edge and he are capable of destroying all of our favorites, but together they become more. Just imagine adding an instrument of brutality.
Rhea gloats, proud of her turn. Priest asks us to all rise for the newest member of The Judgment Day.
Rhea says joining them was the easiest decision of her life. She saw the two of them change for the better, and she wanted that for herself. She is done signing autographs for little kids who wanna be just like her. The next day, those same autographs are being sold on Ebay. She is done being used. She then calls out Liv Morgan.
Liv no longer rides her coattails. Tonight, she will give Liv a reason to cry when she destroys her.
Unrealized potential is what this is all about, says Edge. They were ships without a rutter. He is their direction. The are his Saints of Fate. A few weeks ago, he pulled Rhea aside that Liv was holding her down. He calls Liv a LOL doll. Poor little Liv. Edge is the reason our favorite tag team split up. He saw wasted domination in Rhea, a juggernaut content to live in the slow lane instead of running everything over like she can. Her message…no, it’s more than a message. His movement is not done. They are not finished yet. They’re looking for more.
Liv Morgan’s music hits. She comes out all happy go lucky.
Match 1:
This will likely follow the rule of new look, convincing win. Rhea starts, of course, with some ass-kickery, tossing Liv across the ring. She corners Liv, hits a few rights, then climbs up. Liv fights her down then walks the 2nd rope to the top, hopping into a rana. Dropkick to Rhea. Rhea with a HUGE boot to the face of Liv! Cover for 1..2..NO!! Rhea chokes liv up on the 2nd rope. Rhea with a punch to the back of the head. Rhea slams Liv down hard, again, face first into the mat. Liv tries for a body triangle, but Rhea drops her with a hard clothesline. Boot to the chest for a pin gets 1..2..NO!!! Rhea steps on the back of Liv. Liv with a bunch of punches, enziguri to the ear, DDT to Rhea! Rhea stands on her feet. Liv hits the ropes, flies off with knees ot the face! Cover for 1….2…NO!!!! Back elbow from Liv. She goes to the top rope,
Rhea swats her aside as she flies off the corner. Kick to the face. Texas Cloverleaf to Liv! Liv tries to crawl to the ropes but ends up tapping.
Winner: Rhea Ripley
Not too bad of a match, although it was mostly Rhea beatin Liv’s ass.
Total Rating: **
Match Time: 5:34
Edge and Priest enter the ring. Edge gives Rhea a nod, and Rhea grabs Liv to lock in the Cloverleaf yet again. Liv screams as Edge mocks her tapping.
As they stand to celebrate, Finn Balor’s music hits. Priest glares at him as he makes his entrance. Balor is not alone!
AJ Styles is here, too!
Match 3: Damian Priest vs Finn Balor
Priest with a hard right, whip into the corner, running back elbow, he hits the ropes, And Finn dropkciks the knee! Kick to the back of the leg. Finn locks the leg up around the rope. He boxes the ears. Priest knocks him down with aclothesline! Priest with a Broken Arrow toss. Jawbreaker from Finn. He kicks Priest out of the corner, runs into the grasp of Priest, who shoots him up then slams him down. Cover for 1..2.NO!!! Chinlock from behind. Side Russian Leg Sweep by Priest. Balor is able to take advantage with a stomp to the chest. Shoulder in the corner, whip, reversal, GOOZLE from Priest, but Balor rolls him up! 1…2..NO!!!! Slingblade!!! Clothesline sends priest to the outside! Balor hits the ropes!
Finn is about to dive, but Rhea stands in the way! EDGE WITH A SPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE!!
Winner: Finn Balor via DQ
It appears they still want to give Finn some credibility by not having him lose here, but unfortunately, this is one of those matches where you feel like you’ve seen it about a hundred times.
Total Rating: *1/2
Match Time: 4:25
AJ attacks!!!! He mounts Edge, getting the better of him! Priest is there to attack, but Finn is back up! Rhea stands face to face with Styles! Styles considers it, but his pause creates an opening for Edge, who attacks AJ! They stand him up, and we get the leg sweep/spear combo from Priest and Edge.
Backstage, Owens and Gable talk chromosomes. Apparently, Gable is going to do a DNA test. Apparently, Gable has friends at THE DNA Lab. THEEE very one. Elias wont be able to talk his way out of it.
Owens is excited about his guest. He has a brother, Ken Owens, and he will be here tonight to compete against Elias. Kevin’s older brother is going to beat the truth out of Elias.
Oh man…
MVP Lounge starts, and he drones on about Omos’ greatness.
This is interrupted by Cedric, who says “We did it!” He says with MVP’s managerial services, and Cedric’s technical prowess, they can dominate. He knows Omos did all the heavy lifting when he put down Lashley.
MVP stops him, says he likes Cedric, but he’s going to let this interruption
Well, speaking of interruption, Bobby Lashley is here, pissed, and wet. He clotheslines security then hits another with a spinebbuste.r haha. Damn. Another eats ringpost, and a back body drop finishes the initial one. Cedric flies off the apron, Lashley catches him and drops him onto the barricade, then enters te ring. Oos shoves him, Lashley ducks, clotheslines Omos over the top rope, then gets face to face with MVP. Cedric flies in onto the back of Lashley, allowing MVP to leave. Cedric flies off the top rope and Lashley locks in The Hurt Lock.
Sonya is upset about the formal investigation. She does things by the book and gets the job done. Pearce says they need to talk, but Sonya has a match and wants to know who it is. She then changes her mind, not caring, says with her, it’s nothing personal, it’s just business.
Pearce comes out after Sonya, saying that the formal investigation has concluded, and her position as an official is terminated. Also, her opponent is…
Alexa Bliss
Bliss is here with Lilz, all smiles.
Match 4: Alexa Bliss vs Sonya Deville
Bliss hits a DDT to Sonya then drags her over to the corner. Bliss to the toprope. Twisted Bliss. Cover for 1..2…3!!!!
Winner:
I’m no Sonya fan or anything, but she just put on a nice match with Bianca and is now officially added to the female roster, and was beaten in about thirty seconds. It’s like they are fully incapable of properly pushing more than one person at a time.
Total Rating: NR
Match Time: :40
Sonya screams outside of the ring comically and over the top. It’s bad.
Commentary is really selling the time of 10:00 as when the Cody match is gonna happen.
