Join 411’s Live WWE Raw Coverage

Hey kids! Steve Cook here with you for another edition of WWE Raw on Netflix! We’ve got a huge five-man gauntlet tonight that will decide who faces Gunther at SummerSlam! We’ve also got our favorite girl Nikki Bella facing off with our President, Chelsea Green! (Well, she’s the only one recognized in this household.) Gunther, Naomi & many others will be on hand tonight, but will we get an update on Seth Rollins’ injury situation tonight? Rollins missing some time would bring tons of changes to this show.

If you’d like 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 superb 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.

Then! Now! Forever! Together!

We look back to last weekend in Atlanta! Everyone is buzzing! Jelly Roll’s Big Moment! Evolution happened and was fun! Becky with the coolest pin Wade’s ever seen! Goldberg seeks one more timeless moment! End of an era! A spectacular main event between Rhea & IYO! Proceed with caution!

Gunther is WALKING! Jey Uso is WALKING! CM Punk is WALKING! Bron & Bronson are here with Heyman! No Seth Rollins tonight in Birmingham, Alabama! Over 10,000 in attendance! Michael Cole & Corey Graves are on the call!

Our new Women’s World Champion, Naomi, makes her entrance! The fans say she deserves it, but Naomi doesn’t want to hear it now. They weren’t feeling the glow, but are feeling her now. They thought they saw it coming. Don’t nobody know her next move until she makes it, and that’s why she’s the champ! She wants Bianca to take a look at this. She outgrew her. Bianca & Jade didn’t want her as a friend, they wanted her as a flunky. Who got the upper hand now, bitches? She might be new around Raw, but all them raggedy heffers are advised to proceed with caution.

The crowd squeals as Rhea Ripley makes her way to the ring! Naomi doesn’t appear impressed as Rhea gets a microphone. Rhea is not cautious, she is reckless and pissed. She walked into Evolution with two goals: to beat IYO SKY and get the Women’s Championship back. Naomi ruined it, and now she’s on Rhea’s list.

IYO SKY appears! Gotta say I’m digging the denim. IYO tells Rhea to step aside, as she’s getting her title back from Naomi. Naomi doesn’t know what she said, but they can both get their entitled asses to the back of the line. Their bickering is broken up by Adam Pearce. Pearce congratulates Naomi and welcomes her to Raw. She deserves it! He understands why Rhea & IYO are pissed off, but still must say that their match was absolutely magic. SummerSlam is two nights this year, so it has to be bigger than anything. He books Rhea, IYO & Naomi in a triple threat at SummerSlam, where they will make magic again.

Finn Balor’s shining everyone’s belts up. Dom is worried about AJ Styles stalking him, but Finn says it’ll be fine. Raquel & Roxanne appear putting each other over. Finn tells Dom to accompany Raquel & Roxanne to the ring tonight.

Tonight, Bron Breakker emerges as the #1 Contender for the World Championship, and will defeat Gunther at SummerSlam. Bron stares.

Jackie (good lord) is with Lyra Valkyrie, who has a huge match with Bayley tonight. How much is personal & how much is business! Lyra’s tired of talking about these people. Bayley needs this, and ends up telling her to stay out of her way.

Jackie is with Stephanie Vaquer (I have no words) and congratulates her. Stephanie does her promos in multiple languages and says she will succeed. Before Jackie can finish her question, Chelsea Green & the Secret Hervice appear. Chelsea thinks she would be a better representative in Paris than Stephanie would be. Stephanie invites Chelsea to take her best shot, but Chelsea says she’s doing that against a WWE Hall of Famer tonight.

Karrion Kross says that our favorite bad guys are here to save the day. Sami Zayn is hurt. Scarlett says that Sami is a liar. Kross thinks so too. He thinks he gave Sami an ultimatium last week that he didn’t like. He tells Sami to stay home until he’s ready to tell the truth that Kross was telling the truth.

Nikki Bella vs. Chelsea Green (w/The Secret Hervice): Some of your stricter reviewers would complain about a SmackDown wrestler competing on Raw and devaluing the roster split. This reviewer is happy to see Chelsea Green on Raw and isn’t worried about what show she’s supposed to be on, as long as she’s on the television. Nikki takes Chelsea over, hits a drop toehold.

The New Day & Grayson Waller try to get a Tag Team Championship rematch. Adam Pearce says they will be in a match to determine the new #1 Contenders next week. Pearce walks up to Dom Mysterio and says he’ll be reevaluated by doctors next week, and if he’s cleared he’ll be defending the IC title against AJ Styles at SummerSlam. Dom turns around and sees AJ praying for his health!

Penta stares down Gunther! Gunther walks off and will be talking next.

Jackie is with Rusev, and she congratulates him on beating Sheamus. Where will he go from here? People call him god, he’s just a saint skinning snakes. He will fight someone tougher than Sheamus. Sheamus comes up behind him and they chat. He says he talked to Adam Pearce and they’ll be having a rematch. Banger after Banger. Rusev came to dominate gold, not gingers.

Paul introduces himself. Gunther cuts him off, he knows his name and isn’t really interested in listening to what he has to say. He tries to walk off, but Bron stands in his way. Tonight, Bron will run the gauntlet, become #1 contender and go to SummerSlam, where he’ll beat Gunther. Paul tells Gunther he hasn’t been speared until he’s been speared by Bron Breakker. Bron is the next big thing, big dog, it’s Bron Breakker’s yard. You’re not just looking at a contender, he’s a Steiner! He’ll break through the glass ceiling in WWE and break his ass at SummerSlam. There will be a new World Heavyweight Champion at SummerSlam. Now Gunther is allowed to leave.
