Hey kids! Steve Cook here with you for another edition of Monday Night Raw on Netflix! I’ve been with you all Memorial Day weekend, some people loved it and some people didn’t. Tonight we’ve got some MITB qualifiers along with a huge Tag Team Championship Match. Let’s hook em up!
If you’re wanting to chime in with your own thoughts on tonight’s show, feel free to join your fellow 411 Maniacs down in the comment section! As the Legendary Larry Csonka always said: Have fun and don’t be a dick. When I’m not here you can catch me on the social media from time to time. I tend to read books rather than doom scroll through social media nonsense, it’s much better for my mental health.
Then. Now. Forever. Together!
Jey Uso is WALKING! Lyra Valkyria is WALKING! Sami Zayn slaps hands with fans, Finn Balor & JD McDonagh WALK backstage.
Seth Rollins walks to the ring with Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed. Paul introduces himself to us, then introduces us to the rest of his accomplices. Bron Breakker will main event WrestleMania 45-50. It’s a damn spoiler! Paul lets us all know that CM Punk is not here tonight thanks to Bronson Reed. Bronson Reed previously put a beating on Seth Rollins worse than anything Punk could do. Heyman introduces us to the future of this industry, Seth Rollins. He milks it as much as possible. This is Seth’s vision and the way forward. Through complete power. Sounds like what Tampa’s politicians are trying to pass. He told us what he was going to do at WrestleMania and he did it. Rollins sounds tired of the fans chanting whatever. Seth is the only person capable of wielding the power, and he’d already be the World Champion if not for Sami Zayn & CM Punk. Punk found out on Saturday night what happens when you underestimate Rollins. Zayn will find this out tonight. Rollins will qualify for MITB, win the contract, and will cash in. Nobody will stop him. That’s why he is a visionary, a revolutionary, and is Seth Rollins.
Money in the Bank Qualifier: Penta vs. Dragon Lee vs. Chad Gable: We see El Hijo del Vikingo at ringside, who will face Gable at Worlds Collide. Dragon Lee & Penta fight over who should beat up Gable. Lee ranas Penta into the corner, hits a big blow. Gable suplexes Lee, then suplexes Penta. Northern Lights on Lee gets two. Penta with some kicks, then a Sling blade. Penta drops Lee & Gable! Tope con hilo onto Lee & Gable on the floor as we go to commercial!
We return and Gable clears the announce table before Penta dives onto Lee. Lee & Penta trade some blows. Lee hits a sitout powerbomb on Gable for two. Penta goes for the Driver on Lee, Gable German suplexes both of them! Hits the moonsault for two! Vikingo kicks Gable! Lee with a double stomp, Penta with a Destroyer! Penta hits the Driver to advance to MITB!
Winner: Penta (6:53 shown via pinfall)
We go to the Judgment Day clubhouse. Liv Morgan appears! She’ll address everything that’s going on after she talks to Adam Pearce. Rusev will appear later tonight!
Akira Tozawa vs. Rusev: Tozawa fights right away before getting clotheslined out of his boots. Accolade time. Tozawa taps.
Winner: Rusev (:55 via submission)
Sheamus comes out! He takes off his jacket and is ready to fight Rusev! Rusev decides to walk off instead.
Cathy Kelly talks to some Netflix comics. They walk up to the War Raiders and take some chops. I’m not even going to act like I care who these people are. Not gonna happen, one of the times I dissed a comedian on this show was one of the new “Three Stooges”, readers got mad and then the guy buried the experience since he hated wrestling. Turned out I was right all along!
Sami Zayn is mad at himself for not coming out earlier, Jey Uso talks him into his senses. Jey wants Sami to snatch that briefcase, and has his back.
World Tag Team Championship Match: The New Day (Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston (c)) vs. The War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) vs. Brutus & Julius Creed: We get some dives before the referee even thinks about ringing the bell. Erik gets sent into the steps. The Creeds & New Day raise each other’s hands as we go to commercial.
We return, Woods hits a double stomp to Erik. Erik of course gets the advantage and tags Ivar who cleans house. Cross body to a couple of them. Ivar sends some people outside. He goes up top, Kofi hits a kick. Julius places Erik up top. Superplex! Ivar with a big splash for two. The Creeds with some double teams. Ivar & Erik take control for a second. Brutus Creed dives outside. Kofi does too, but Ivar squashes him on the side of the ring. Xavier rolls up Erik with the tights and gets the win!
Winners: The New Day (6:07 via pinfall)
Liv & Raquel walk up on Kairi Sane & IYO SKY. Kairi challenges Liv to a match tonight!
Jey Uso comes out, it’s time to Yeet!
We return and Jey is yeeting! He’s in this city! Everybody is after the champ. Before Jey can launch too much into his current issues, Gunther makes his entrance. Gunther says congratulations are due for the 15 year jubilee of the Usos in WWE. He congratulates Jey for his first defense against Logan Paul. Gunther sees that Jey is trying really hard and is on the side of his friends. Great qualities for a human being, terrible qualities for a champion. This position comes natural to Gunther, not to Jey. The only person Gunther cares about himself. He doesn’t think Jey has the intellect for the position, and will take care of business in two weeks and put the championship back around his waist. Jey is done with everybody saying his days are numbered. He has friends & family, he’s a real one. Jey invites Gunther to judge him. He’s not overlooking Gunther. He’s fighting for the fans’ support, and will make Gunther tap out again. YEET.
Titus O’Neil in the house!
Kairi Sane vs. Liv Morgan (w/Raquel Rodriquez): Tieup into the corner. Liv pulls Kairi’s hair into the mat. Liv pounds on Kairi in the corner, Kairi fights back. Kairi with a rana, then she kicks Liv out of the ring. Liv powerbombs Kairi onto the floor and we go to commercial.

Winner: Kairi Sane (7:50 via pinfall)
Rhea Ripley lets us know she’ll be Mami in the Bank.
We’ll hear from Lyra Valkyria next!
Liv disses Raquel backstage, saying she should have known better as the veteran. Finn is all smiles in that Judgement Day clubhouse.
Lyra Valkyria is here, and she will face Becky Lynch at Money in the Bank. She’d prefer a new challenger, but Becky worked the right people into it. Becky came out and acted like the previous result didn’t matter, and now it’s personal. She’ll break Becky’s ego & bash her head in. Here comes Becky Lynch! She talks about her hot husband and says she’s the best thing that ever happened to Lyra. Lyra says people talk about her because she beat Becky. Becky says that if Lyra wins at MITB she’ll never challenge her for the IC title again. Lyra will have to raise her hand if she wins. Lyra doesn’t have an issue with raising a hand of a woman better than her, it just hasn’t been Becky yet.
Karrion Kross talks to Sami Zayn backstage, Sami has no time for his mind games. Kross reminds Sami that he’ll never win the title, Sami says he’ll deal with Kross later.
