WWE Raw on Netflix started and Logan Paul entered the ring among the boos from the crowd. He, like always, rambled on about his greatness and mocked Jey Uso when Gunther entered. Gunther told Logan Paul to be ready for him if he beat Jey Uso at SNME. He warned him, quoting Pat McAfee’s example, to tell him what he does to the non-wrestlers. Gunther left the ring, and Logan Paul received a Superkick from Jey Uso in retaliation for all the sneak attacks he had done on the latter.

El Grande Americano Costs Penta his Match Again

AJ Styles and Penta take on Finn Balor and JD McDonagh of Judgment Day. These four superstars were able to show the crowd some incredible moves. The tag team match, however, turned into a handicap match due to the ringside presence of Carito and El Grande Americano by the barricade. El Grande Americano has now cost Penta a significant number of matches.

Finn Balor, AJ Styles, and Penta each took turns dominating the match, but the numbers game caught up with AJ Styles and Penta. Penta was able to fight JD McDonagh and Carlito outside the ring, but El Grande Americano delivered a Head Butt and gave Finn Balor the required advantage. Finn Balor performed a Coup de Grâce on Penta and won the match.

Lyra Valkyria Gifted Roxanne Perez With the Ticket to MITB

After Alexa Bliss qualified for the Money in the Bank contract match, Becky Lynch, Roxanne Perez, and Natalya collided to become the second women to do so. Roxanne Perez showed her in-ring awareness at quite a young age and was able to compete toe-to-toe with veterans like Becky Lynch and Natalya. Natalya showcased immense strength and at one point, locked both her opponents in a sharpshooter.

BECKY.
NATALYA.
ROXANNE.

The match swung from one opponent to another the entire match, and went to a near stalemate numerous times. Becky Lynch started dominating the match when Lyra Valkyria pulled her out, and the two started to brawl outside. As it was a triple-threat, there was no disqualification. Becky Lynch’s absence from the ring gave Roxanne Perez the moment she needed to clinch a crucial victory.

Grayson Waller Receives a Brogue Kick, Austin Theory Laughs

Grayson Waller came straight into the firing line when Sheamus asked for him as his opponent. There was no doubt what the result of the match was going to be. The question was how soon Grayson Waller would sustain against Celtic Warriors’ brutality. Sheamus was fighting after a long time and looked a bit rusty in his second fight after his return. Sheamus is, however, known for turning the match on its head since his debut.

INSTANT REGRET, fella… 💥💥💥#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/GHCQFEbqPD

Grayson Waller mocked Sheamus during the match, which got added to his misery later. He showed caliber and, at one point, took Sheamus by surprise as well, but Sheamus increased the intensity of his attacks. Grayson Waller tried to leave the ring, but Austin Theory stopped him. Sheamus got his hands on Grayson Waller literally with Beats of the Bodhrán and followed it up with a Brogue Kick to win the match, and made Austin Theory laugh.

He's laughing.

Grayson Waller is getting his chest pounded in and Austin Theory is laughing.

Rhea Ripley Qualifies for the MITB After Zoey Stark’s Injury

Zoey Stark, Rhea Ripley, and Kairi Sane faced each other in a triple threat to find the third woman to join Alexa Bliss and Roxanne Perez at MITB. Zoey Stark initially dominated the match, but while trying a Missile Drop Kick, she injured her leg and could not compete any further. The triple threat turned into a one-on-one match that was mostly dominated by Rhea Ripley.

WELCOME BACK KAIRI SANE!

Jey Uso Defeats Bron Breakker by DQ, Gets Knocked Out Later by Logan Paul Fourth Time

Jey Uso and Bron Breakker faced each other in a non-title match. While it seemed Jey Uso had nothing to lose, everything was at stake. Bron Breakker had only one motive, and that was to injure Jey Uso before his match at Saturday Night Main Event. The fight between Jey Uso and Seth Rollins got personal last Monday, which is when the latter commanded Bron Breakker to go for the kill.

HEYMAN'S INVOLVED AND ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE! 😭😭😭#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/3ha3OxiB7t

Bron Breakker attacked Jey Uso last week, but it seemed Jey Uso came prepared today. Bron Breakker tried to dominate the Yeet King, but the latter was able to fight toe to toe, or even better. Jey Uso dominated Bron Breakker, which is a rare sight and when he was about to win, Seth Rollins attacked him from behind. A two-on-one assault started on Jey Uso when Sami Zayn and CM Punk came to his aid.

We got a small preview of Saturday Night Main Event when a brawl breaks out between the team of Sami Zayn and CM Punk and the team of Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker. The match ended in disqualification, but just as the referee announced Jey Uso as the winner, Logan Paul delivered a surprise punch, known as the One-Lucky Punch. This marked the fourth time Logan Paul had sneak-attacked Jey Uso.

KNOCKOUT NUMBER 4! 👊💥

LOGAN PAUL JUST KO'D THE CHAMPION, JEY USO!

Are we looking at our next World Heavyweight Champion?#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/JVWbYDY6Kk
