Here we go for another thrilling episode of our favorite red show, Raw! Tonight was absolutely fire!
The Arrival of Legends
Seth “Freakin” Rollins is in the house, ready to throw down. Tonight, he faces Big Bronson Reed in a rematch of their epic clash at Crown Jewel. Oh, and let’s not forget: Sheamus is here too, aiming to take on Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker. Sheamus is fired up, ready to grab the one title that’s eluded him his entire legendary career.
Monday Night Drama – Liv Morgan Takes the Stage
We kick off with Liv Morgan and her so-called "bodyguard," Raquel Rodriguez, hitting the ring. Right away, Liv grabs the mic and hits us with:
“Welcome to Monday Night Morgan!” Bold, but Rollins might have something to say about that.
Liv doesn't waste time. She knows Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill are gunning for her, the “greatest women’s champ of all time” (her words, not mine). But Liv and Raquel aren’t rolling solo, either.
Cue Nia Jax, strutting out with Miss Money in the Bank Tiffany Stratton and Candice LeRae. Nia doesn’t hold back:
“Raquel? I don’t like you. I don’t hate you. I just don’t care about you. Liv? Same goes for you. But there’s one thing on my mind—Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, and Naomi.”
And right on cue, out come the Women’s Tag Champs, Bianca and Jade, with Naomi backing them up. Bianca’s all business:
“If Jax wants something, step up. But fair warning, we don’t roll alone either.”
Cue the surprise: IYO SKY joins Team Bianca, evening the odds—well, almost. Liv smirks, all sarcastic:
“Great. You brought IYO SKY, but math ain’t your strong suit. Who’s dumb enough to join you?”
“THIS IS MY BRUTALITY!”
Rhea Ripley storms out, sporting a menacing face mask. She’s locked onto Liv, steps into her face, and snarls one word:
“WarGames!”
Rhea headbutts Liv, and the chaos explodes! Bodies are flying everywhere. Liv barely escapes into the crowd while IYO SKY pulls off a jaw-dropping Over the Moonsault onto the mob outside. The brawl ends with Rhea, Bianca, Jade, IYO, and Naomi standing tall.
Team Bianca is STACKED for WarGames this year! I’m all in for Team Bianca—can’t root against that lineup! What about you? Team Bianca or Team Liv? Drop it in the comments!
Flashback to SmackDown: Bloodline in Shambles
We roll a clip from last Friday, where "Big" Bronson Reed shockingly joined forces with the Bloodline to lay waste to Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, and the Usos. Solo Sikoa even hit Reigns with a Samoan Spike! Reed finished things off with his devastating Tsunami. Seeing the Bloodline wrecked like that? Absolutely wild.
First Match: LWO (Rey Mysterio & Zelina Vega) vs. American Made (Chad Gable & Ivy Nile)
Ivy Nile starts by slapping Zelina Vega pre-bell, sparking an outside brawl. Once the match begins, Rey’s agility puts Gable on the ropes, but Ivy Nile’s sneaky interference swings momentum to American Made.
Fast-forward to the finish: Rey’s 619 and Zelina’s hurricanrana lead to the 1-2-3. LWO picks up the win, but honestly? Kinda mid-tier for me. Few flashy moments, but nothing groundbreaking.
Post-match drama heats up as Gable slaps Julius Creed, blaming him for the loss. Dude, maybe look in the mirror—you're the common denominator here.
Judgment Day’s Clubhouse
Backstage, Finn Bálor tries to calm Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, promising to “handle” their WarGames rivals. He checks in with Dominik Mysterio, hyping him for their tag match against the War Raiders later. JD McDonagh pulls Finn aside for a private chat. Finn’s got something cooking, but is he plotting as a face or an all-out heel? Stay tuned!
Intercontinental Title Match: Sheamus vs. Bron Breakker
This was an all-out war! Sheamus brought the thunder with 10 Beats of the Bodhrán, while Bron flexed his insane power, hitting a Frankensteiner and Lumbar Check.
Just when it seemed Sheamus might win with his White Noise, the bell rang—time limit draw. The match ends in chaos as Ludwig Kaiser sneaks in to cause trouble under Gunther’s orders. This rivalry ain’t over, and I’m here for it.
Main Event: Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. “Big” Bronson Reed
The arena was straight-up electric. As Rollins hit the ring, the Bloodline (Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu) showed up ringside. Before they could interfere, Jey and Jimmy Uso, along with Sami Zayn, stormed out to brawl with them in the crowd.
Back in the ring, Reed’s size and strength gave him the early advantage. Rollins fought back with his agility, but distractions from Solo Sikoa on commentary proved costly.
The match hit a fever pitch when Reed nailed a Tsunami from the top rope for the win. Solo raised Reed’s arm in victory, cementing their alliance.
Rollins fought like hell, but Reed was unstoppable. This was PPV-level action. I’d give it a solid 9/10.
Final Thoughts
This episode was fire—hardly a dull moment! The build toward Survivor Series WarGames is heating up, and the storylines are top-tier. Will Seth team up with Roman for WarGames? We’ll have to wait and see!
Catch y’all Friday for SmackDown recaps. Until then, stay hyped!
Xoxo,
