Monday Night RAW is live from Toronto: Trish Stratus is in the building, the First Semi-Finals of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships Tournament and Damian Priest vs Edge are scheduled, let's see what they have in store for us!
We start with a brawl between Seth Rollins and Riddle who fight all around the arena and even through the crowd but, in the end, they are separated.
Trish Stratus enters the arena supported by her home crowd of Toronto. Trish says she's excited about being at home but Bayley and her group interrupt because they want the Hall Of Famer to leave; here, Bianca Belair makes her appearance to defend Trish, supported by Bliss and Asuka as well.
The semi-finals of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships Tournament begin. After a very long contest, Iyo & Dakota outsmart The Empress of Tomorrow, win and advance to the finals.
Dolph Ziggler is interviewed because he has a match against Finn Bàlor who shows up, but the Show Off slaps him in the face. The leader of the Judgment Day debuts a new theme song; the First Universal Champion in history wins with the assist of the Eradicator Rhea Ripley.
Sarah Schreiber tries to interview Aliyah but Bayley takes her place and threatens the SmackDown member who is helped by Stratus who suggests a match between Aliyah and Bayley and the role model accepts.
Alpha Academy issues an open challenge in order to find new students for the team: Canada's own Kevin Owens shocks everyone and accepts the challenge. The Prizefighter defeats Master Gable with the Pop-Up Powerbomb but Otis attacks him after the match: Owens hits the Tree Trunk with the Stunner and then Powerbombs Gable on his pupil to stand tall ahead of the Canadian fans.
The Judgment Day talks about their rivals and addresses the fact that the Mysterios and Dolph are out so Edge is the only one left.
We learn that, due to Toxic Attraction being injured, a Second-chance Fatal-4 Way Tag Team Match will take place to determine the team which will face Aliyah and Raquel Rodriguez in the second Semi-finals.
Aliyah makes her way to the ring to face Bayley in the previously announced match: as Canadian, she gets a huge pop from the spectators, which makes her cry. Aliyah delivers a good performance, however Bayley is too strong and beats the young star.
Bobby Lashley and AJ Styles join forces against Ciampa and The Miz in a tag team contest: during the match, a masked man (who apparently is not Dexter Lumis) appears through the crowd and tries to capture Styles but the Security interferes, meanwhile on the other side of the barricades Lumis shows up again and attacks Miz from behind causing a Disqualification and dragging the Awesome One with him. In the ring, Ciampa tries to attack Bobby but the Phenomenal and the All Mighty have the best of the A-lister's friend.
Johnny Gargano returns to WWE on Monday Night RAW with "Rebel Heart" as his theme song. Johnny Wrestling reminds us of his accomplishments in NXT and says that he is back full time: Theory enters and says that he has done everything Gargano has been dreaming of, but then thanks Johnny for their past in NXT and says that he can show him "The Way" or Gargano can "Go Away." The returning superstar hits Mr. Money in the bank with a superkick and leaves the ring.
Kurt Angle returns next week and Riddle and Seth Rollins will have a Face to Face ahead of their match at Clash At The Castle.
Edge faces Damian Priest who is alone: during the match, Priest throws the Rated-R superstar on the commentary table and the Referee is taken out so the competitors use steel chairs as well. In the end, the Hall Of Famer wins with the combo Canadian-Destroyer + Spear and tries to hit a Con-Chair-To to the Punisher of the JD but Balor and Ripley save him; the JD attempts to hit Edge who is saved by his wife Beth Phoenix.
Raw ends with the Hall of Famers in the ring and the Judgment Day who leaves the arena, making us question if Beth could get involved in this feud. After this great episode full of satisfying in ring action, unexpected returns and home superstars, we remind as always to let us know your thoughts leaving a comment and we give you appointment to the next report!
