5. Penta Gets Revenge on Both El Grande Americano and Judgment Day on Raw on Netflix

Penta didn’t get his revenge match against El Grande Americano, but he gets his hands on Chad Gable. Chad Gable fought hard and dominated Penta, but apparently, he still does not have an answer to his luchadore problem. He fell prey to the Mexican destroyer, and Penta won the match. This was not the only appearance Penta made today.

THIS IS AWE-SOME! 👏👏 👏👏👏#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/xAvHlQEYGi

Penta entered again and helped AJ Styles in his match against Finn Balor. He negated the interruption from Judgment Day by neutralizing both JD McDonagh and Carlito. This distraction from Penta caused Finn Balor to lose focus, and AJ Styles landed a Phenomenal Forearm on him to win the match.

3. Dominic Mysterio Questions Finn Balor’s Commitment, Finn Balor Fights AJ Styles For Him

Dominic Mysterio asked Finn Balor to take care of AJ Styles for him last week. He also questioned Finn Balor for hesitating to help him at Backlash, which could have cost him the championship. Finn Balor dodged the question, stating You are still the champion, and I will take care of AJ Styles for you.

AJ Styles and Finn Balor are two superstars known for their fantastic moves and in-ring capabilities. They fought hard and kicked out each other’s moves like nothing happened. Judgment Day’s presence at the ringside gave Finn Balor a slight edge, but Penta entered and neutralized the threat of Carlito and JD McDonagh. This distracted Finn Balor and allowed AJ Styles, who capitalized and won the match.

2. Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky Made Roxanne Perez and Giulia Pay, Giulia Breaks The Team

Roxanne Perez and Giulia have been trying to get their Raw moment by attacking the top women of WWE, Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. They fought today in a tag team match against Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. Giulia and Roxanne Perez attempted to cheat their way to victory, but it’s challenging to defeat Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky one-on-one, let alone when they work together.

Roxanne Perez and Giulia will get full marks for trying but a head butt by the Eradicator followed by an Riptide sealed the fate of Giulia. Roxanne Perez was later seen planning to ask Adam Pearce for a rematch but Giulia stated there is no “we” now.
