(Who sits next to each other at a meeting rather than facing each other unless you\u2019re creating a TV segment?) Reigns said he appreciated them coming and being there with him. He said they know where he comes from and they understand where he stands. He said the past is the past and he\u2019s going to leave it there. He said he wanted their thoughts because he didn\u2019t know where Jacob Fatu was coming from. He said he explained on ESPN that everyone had two years to take advantage of him taking a back seat and Jacob procrastinated. He said he then \u201cclimbed the mountain\u201d and beat C.M. Punk.<\/p>\n Jimmy said he agreed with Roman, but he also understands Fatu\u2019s position. He said he wants to upgrade his house for his family. He said that shouldn\u2019t come at the expense of Reigns. Jey then said Fatu is dangerous, noting what happened to the MFTs on Smackdown. He said he\u2019s become \u201cthe shot caller\u201d now. He said there has to be consequences. Reigns said they aren\u2019t doing charity. He thanked Jey and said he\u2019s going to chew on it and make it his own and address is later. Jey and Jimmy reached across Roman and shook hands. Reigns put his hand over theirs and looked into the camera and said, \u201cThe First Family.\u201d<\/p>\n (Keller\u2019s Analysis: That was 50 percent too slick to feel authentic. Nobody has an important meeting by sitting side by side on the same edge of a table unless they\u2019re producing a TV segment and want to face the camera, but a semi-circle would have worked well and been somewhat natural. The musical score is so over-the-top that it feels like the whole thing was staged for TV rather than a camera capturing a candid, tense meeting with family. Roman and the Usos are good enough in their roles and have established characters, they don\u2019t need this to be \u201ccinema\u201d in a way that undercuts it feeling genuine. I\u2019m still not sure where this goes, but Roman was super-popular, and then he and C.M. Punk tore each other apart and now Roman is opposing Fatu, who is also super popular. I think fans would rather cheer Roman against an actual heel who they want to see him beat up, but WWE doesn\u2019t focus on that and so they get stuck with this \u2013 which is a flawed yet compelling storyline that doesn\u2019t really fit what pro wrestling is where the live crowd favoring one wrestler over another creates those peak experiences. A novelty face-face situation now and then is great, but it\u2019s just one feud after another after another that leaves fans conflicted over ambiguity over who they want to cheat which leads to ambivalence in a lot of cases.)\u00a0<\/p>\n -They cut to Jacob Fatu. Michael Cole said Fatu is \u201cawaiting the decision of Roman Reigns later tonight\u201d and \u201cthe future hangs in the balance for Fatu.\u201d<\/p>\n (Keller\u2019s Analysis: What is Roman\u2019s decision and what future hangs in the balance? We can piece it together, of course, from last week and some of what Roman said, but it\u2019s not necessarily so clear that Cole shouldn\u2019t state what that decision is and what\u2019s at stake.)<\/p>\n -Seth Rollins made his ring entrance to his song, leading to fans singing his song. He said Bron Breakker is the reason he lost to Gunther at WrestleMania. He called out Bron with his \u201clittle pea brain.\u201d Breakker marched out, followed closely behind by Paul Heyman. Seth and Bron went face to face a few inches apart. Seth said he gave Bron everything on a silver platter and he repaid him by \u201ctaking everything away from me.\u201d He said he was the reason he has to forfeit the WWE Title and why he didn\u2019t main event WrestleMania and why he didn\u2019t get his arm raised at WrestleMania. He asked how it benefited Bron.<\/p>\n Heyman was going to speak, but then he paused and looked at Bron and handed him the mic instead. Breakker said, \u201cWhat did you give Reed and I.\u201d (Grammar Police run-in: \u201cReed and me.\u201d) He told Seth he needed them to fight his battles for him and put out all his fires that he started on his own. He said he has no friends and is nothing. He said every week, he came out there and kicked off the show and he and Bronson Reed had to listen to him \u201cregurgitate the same stuff every week.\u201d He mocked Seth\u2019s catch phrases. Bron said he never needed him or his vision. He said he only needed Heyman.<\/p>\n Seth called Heyman a \u201cdried up sack of meat.\u201d He asked, \u201cYou needed that guy?\u201d He said he called Shawn Michaels and asked him to send him his best to face and he sent him Breakker. He said last year, Heyman asked him how he felt about taking Breakker under his wing. Seth said with one year under his tutelage, he thought Breakker would be \u201cthe next main event money-drawing star in this industry.\u201d He said Bron \u201chas it all.\u201d He said he is the biggest, strongest, fastest, and most versatile performer he\u2019s seen in his 14 years in the industry. He said he has everything except the most important thing. He pointed at his head. He said he knows better than anybody what it means to be a young 28 year old that comes into WWE thinking the business owes him everything. He said he knows what it means to bet on yourself and make tough decisions that people aren\u2019t going to be happy with. He said he succeeded, whereas Bron is still just trying.<\/p>\n Seth said every time he bets on himself, it results in main events or world titles, whereas Bron got Austin Theory and Logan Paul \u201cand steak dinners and happy endings from Paul Heyman.\u201d He told Breakker he is not ready. Breakker smiled and said, \u201cI\u2019m not ready? That\u2019s the narrative you are going for?\u201d He said with or without Seth, he was well on his way to becoming a main eventer. He said Seth\u2019s body and mind are brittle and his shoulder can\u2019t handle the weight of a strap on it anymore. Bron said he tried to win the world title and came up short, but he can rest easy because he lost to the best in the world \u201cinstead of somebody who self-proclaims it.\u201d He said Seth has all the accolades and championships and is \u201ca first ballot WWE Hall of Famer\u201d He said he is \u201cthe very best pro wrestler in the entire world \u2026. [pause]\u2026 at being number two.\u201d<\/p>\n Seth said, \u201cThat was pretty good, Baby Steiner.\u201d He asked if he came up with that on his own or did he \u201ccall Big Papa Pump for his hook-up?\u201d He said he\u2019ll give him an opportunity to back up his words at Backlash in two weeks. He told him as a Steiner, he\u2019s not even no. 2 in his own family.<\/p>\n -Cole asked Corey Graves if he thinks Breakker is ready. Graves said he wasn\u2019t sure who had the ability to overcome the psychological mind games from Seth.<\/p>\n -They showed Bayley and Lyra Valkyria earlier in the arena. Then they cut to Joe Hendry strumming his guitar in the empty stands. Then Becky Lynch in the parking lot. When they showed Stephanie Vaquer, Raquel Rodriguez attacked her. Roxanne Perez smiled and then shoved a rolling crate into Vaquer.<\/p>\n -Penta made his ring entrance. [c]<\/p>\n -Cole plugged tickets going on sale for Summerslam in Minneapolis, Minn. on Aug. 1 and 2.<\/p>\n (1) PENTA vs. RUSEV<\/p>\n Rusev\u2019s ring entrance aired. Before the bell, \u201cAll Ego\u201d Ethan Page made his entrance. Graves told Cole to stand up and pay respect to a man who might be steering the ship in a while. Ethan sat at ringside. The bell rang 29 minutes into the hour. Rusev controlled the opening minute. Penta made a comeback and knocked Rusev to ringside with a dropkick and then flew over the top rope and flipped onto Rusev. Ethan stood and applauded. Ethan told him to keep his eyes on the prize. Rusev went after Penta at ringside; Penta overcame and threw Rusev back into the ring. Rusev kicked him out of mid-air and slammed him as they cut to a break at 2:00. [c]<\/p>\n Back live, Rusev set up a superplex, but Penta blocked it and knocked Rusev hard to the mat. Cole asked Graves who Ethan was rooting for. Graves asked him. Ethan said Rusev. Rusev landed his Machka Kick and then set up an Accolade. Rusev stomped on Penta. Penta slipped free and teased a springboard move, but paused and instead rolled up Rusev for a leverage three count.<\/p>\n WINNER: Penta in 8:00.<\/p>\n -Rusev attacked Penta afterward and stood over him with a scowl. He stomped away at Penta. Ethan joined in the beatdown. Je\u2019Von Evans skipped out to his music to even the odds. He springboard clotheslined Ethan. Penta superkicked Rusev. Evans then gave Rusev an OG Cutter.<\/p>\n (Keller\u2019s Analysis: This is that example of role designations matching up with the types of wrestlers fans want to cheer and boo, and it leads to genuine fun crowd reactions as Evans and Penta sent Ethan and Rusev scurrying away. It\u2019s not passe or old school; it\u2019s what WWE should aim for at the main event level more often with the top acts.)<\/p>\n -They went to Cole and Graves at ringside. They plugged Hulk Hogan\u2019s four-part documentary series on Netflix. A highlight package aired.<\/p>\n -A vignette aired with El Grande Americano, Reyo, and Bravo. Americano said he\u2019d be competing in a mask vs. mask match in a few weeks. He said it\u2019ll be the most important match of his life and the biggest fight he\u2019s ever had. He said he\u2019ll be fighting for his name and colors. He said he\u2019ll prepare by issuing a respectful challenge to the biggest Lucha star around, Rey Mysterio.<\/p>\n -Cole said it\u2019d be an honor to call that match tonight.<\/p>\n -Becky Lynch made her way to the ring. [c]<\/p>\n -Cole and Graves commented on highlights of Becky beating A.J. Lee to win the Intercontinental Title.<\/p>\n -Becky stood mid-ring after her music stopped to scattered boos. She said she has come around to Laredo, Texas. Fans cheered the mention of their town. She touted that she has become the first woman to win four different titles at WrestleMania and the first-ever three-time Women\u2019s IC Champion. She said she\u2019s won more WrestleMania matches in history than any other woman. She said she\u2019s coming for Undertaker\u2019s record next. She said she proved she\u2019s the greatest female wrestler ever. She said Sports Illustrated and Bleacher Report said it. She said it\u2019s all great, but what happened afterward was better.<\/p>\n She said she saw her baby girl sitting in the front row and she was able to take her out and walk with her up the ramp. She said she realized she needed to show her what a real champion was. She said it\u2019s not the five-star hotels and fancy tour buses and private jets, \u201ceven though I indulge in all of those.\u201d She said it\u2019s about \u201cshowing up in rundown towns like Laredo\u201d and \u201cshowing up for common folk like each and every one of you.\u201d She said they want her to defend her title not just against nostalgia acts and underdogs. She issued an open challenge to whoever wanted to come out there and look her in the eyes. \u201cWho\u2019s it going to be?\u201d she said. \u201cCome on!\u201d<\/p>\n Iyo Sky made her way out and said she accepted. Becky said she said she wanted to fight new, shiny, exciting, and the best of the best, \u201cand you are none of those things.\u201d Fans booed. Becky said they were booing Iyo. Fans fired back with a loud \u201cIyo!\u201d chant. Becky asked if she was going to actually get Rhea Ripley coming out now. She said she wanted to fight Shawn Michaels, not Marty Jannetty. \u201cClearly you\u2019ve been holding her back,\u201d she said. Iyo smacked Becky in response. Iyo stomped away at Becky. Becky rolled to ringside and grabbed her belt and began to leave. Raw G.M. Adam Pearce stepped out and asked Becky where she was going. He said she issued an open challenge and Iyo answered it, so the match was now.<\/p>\n Becky attacked Sky. The ref pushed her back. Cole said the match would happen next. [c]<\/p>\n (2) BECKY LYNCH vs. IYO SKY \u2013 Intercontinental Title match<\/p>\n The match was joined in progress 55 minutes into the hour. Sky was in control and played to the crowd. Becky took over again and delivered a Becksploder suplex. Sky rolled to ringside. Becky slidekicked her and then threw her back into the ring. Becky landed a top rope legdrop for a two count at roughly 3:00. Fans chanted, \u201cLet\u2019s go, Iyo!\u201d Cole said Rey vs. El Grande was made official for later. Cole congratulated Tiffany Stratton on her U.S. Title win last Friday on Smackdown.<\/p>\n [HOUR TWO]<\/p>\n Iyo avoided a Manhandle Slam. Becky rolled to ringside. When Iyo dove toward her, Becky forearmed her out of mid-air. She then sunset bombed Becky off the ring apron. Both were down as they cut to a break around 8:00. [c]<\/p>\n Iyo landed a superkick to the chin and a butterfly backbreaker for a near fall around 12:00. Sky lifted her knees on a Over the Moonsault attempt and then scored a near fall. When Becky climbed to the top rope, Sky shoved her and then landed an Asai moonsault at ringside. Asuka came out and tripped Sky, who landed hard on the ring apron. Becky then landed a Manhandle Slam for the three count.<\/p>\n WINNER: Lynch in around 13:00 to retain the IC Title.<\/p>\n -The ref intervened on Asuka entering the ring afterward. Asuka put her foot on Sky\u2019s chest. \u201cShe just won\u2019t let it go,\u201d said Cole.<\/p>\n -Backstage, the original El Grande Americano (allegedly Chad Gable) talked to Rey Mysterio backstage. He asked if he has to watch his back in the hair vs. hair match. Rey said he wants both of them to respect Lucha Libre and that\u2019s what he cares about. When Rey spoke in Spanish, El Grande froze and then said \u201cs\u00ed.\u201d The imposter El Grande with Reyo and Bravo walked in. They bickered in Spanish.<\/p>\n -Byron Saxton interviewed the Usos backstage. He asked for intel on which direction Roman is leaning. Jimmy said The OTC would make the decision when he\u2019s ready. L.A. Knight walked in and asked if they are sitting at the table again. He said he wanted to remind him who they are. He told Jey he became champion on his own. He told Jimmy he won\u2019t rise in the shadow of Roman. Jey said he should mind his own business.\u00a0 Jimmy said it\u2019s family business. Knight said he respects that, but the power they have eventually corrupts and then it becomes his business.<\/p>\n -Cole plugged Reigns answering Fatu\u2019s challenge for Backlash. [c]<\/p>\n -Joe Hendry sat mid-ring and said, \u201cSay his name because he has appeared in Laredo, Texas.\u201d He said he had a big decision to make lately and he wanted to tell them all about it in a song. He said he\u2019s won titles everywhere he\u2019s gone and he\u2019s been on WrestleMania and many other shows, but the time has come for him to pick one brand, and he\u2019s sorry to the others, but he hoped they understand Joe Hendry signed to Raw. He said next time they turn on Netflix, they won\u2019t just want to chill since they\u2019ll have him believing in a better kind of thrill. He said respect to the ruler and he acknowledges The OTC, but he asked Pearce to fire Logan Paul. Fans cheered that. He asked everyone to sing, \u201cPaul, Paul, can we fire Logan Paul.\u201d Logan\u2019s music interrupted.<\/p>\n Logan and Austin Theory came out. Logan screeched, \u201cYou can\u2019t fire me! I\u2019m unfireable.\u201d Theory encouraged Logan and looked outraged himself. He told fans one at a time they were awful. He told Hendry he just made the worst mistake of his life so his first night on Raw will be his last. Cole said, \u201cIt was all in good fun.\u201d Theory said he and Logan hold gold and are the greatest tag champions of the world. He said they are winners. Hendry asked fans if they were winners. \u201cJoe says no to that,\u201d he said. \u201cAll I see are a couple of prime time losers,\u201d referencing their WrestleMania match.<\/p>\n Theory said The Vision goes through everyone and they\u2019re going to go through him tonight. Hendry clotheslined Theory. He then slammed Logan into the corner. Theory held Hendry as Logan punched away at him. Cole said it was all in good fun and Logan just blew his top. The Street Profits charged out for the save. Montez Ford was going to leap off the top rope onto Theory, but Logan pulled Theory to safety. Hendry leaped over the top rope onto both of them. His theme played as he stood with the Profits in the ring. The Profits waved their arms in the air and the fans joined in.<\/p>\n -Cole got in a merch plug.<\/p>\n -Backstage, Grayson Waller was demanding an opportunity. He said he is in the best shape of his life. He started bad-mouthing Oba. Waller said he calls him Oba-rated. Pearce pointed out Oba was standing behind him. Oba said he wanted a match tonight. Pearce told Waller he would now face Oba.<\/p>\n -Rey made his ring entrance. [c]<\/p>\n -The Profits sang Hendry\u2019s song about Logan backstage. Montez Ford told him to replace his blue shirt with a red shirt now that he\u2019s on Raw. Seth walked up to them. Ford said last week wasn\u2019t about him, it was about them. They accused Seth of thinking he was special. Seth looked let down and frustrated.<\/p>\n -Cole got in another merch plug.<\/p>\n (3) REY MYSTERIO vs. EN GRANDE AMERICANO (w\/Reyo, Bravo)<\/p>\n Graves plugged the Mask vs. Mask match on May 30 in Monterrey, Mexico. Cole noted this was the first ever one-on-one match between these two. Graves talked about the importance of masks in lucha libre and having it taken from you is the ultimate humiliation and it\u2019s hard to recover from. The bell rang 29 minutes into the hour. They cut to an early break. [c]<\/p>\n Rey landed a 619 on El Grande and Reyo. El Grande was about to put a steel plate in his mask when El Grande \u201cOG\u201d Americano blocked him. Rey then hit a 619 and a Drop the Dime for the win. Afterward, Rey picked up the steel plate from the mat and tucked it into his trunks before leaving the ring.<\/p>\n WINNER: Rey in 8:00.<\/p>\n -Afterward, \u201cOG\u201d Americano attacked El Grande. They were pulled apart by refs and producers.<\/p>\n -Cole hyped Roman\u2019s decision later as more clips aired of the backstory. Cole and Graves announced that Seth vs. Breakker and Iyo vs. Asuka were now official for Backlash.<\/p>\n -A vignette aired with Asuka talking about how Iyo thought she was done with her, but she\u2019s not. She said it\u2019s up to her to say when they\u2019re done. She said all Sky has done is disappoint her. She said for so long, she blamed herself for her mistakes, and when she turned on her, she blamed herself, but then she finally realized Iyo is the problem. She said she is ungrateful and selfish and her biggest failure. She said she failed her and her family. She said they\u2019re both alone because she didn\u2019t want another Iyo. She said she spared her until now because she thought they could be family again, but she killed that dream, so now nothing will stop her from destroying her. She said the lesson will be that she is not and never will be ready for Asuka.<\/p>\n -They showed Oba Femi backstage. [c]<\/p>\n (4) OBA FEMI vs. GRAYSON WALLER<\/p>\n Oba\u2019s full ring entrance aired. Waller was already in the ring. The bell rang 48 minutes into the hour. Oba blocked a Waller kick and clotheslined him and shortly thereafter pinned him.<\/p>\n WINNER: Oba in 1:00.<\/p>\n -Oba said as of today, the Oba Femi Open Challenge will commence. He said anyone in the back who wants to prove themselves and see how they fare against him, step up. He said he will be merciless, unforgiving, and relentless. He said he will punish them, since they\u2019ll be stepping into the ring against not an ordinary man, but Oba Femi. Graves said it\u2019s a way to make a name for yourself, just as Oba did by stepping up to Brock Lesnar\u2019s challenge and beating him at WrestleMania.<\/p>\n -Backstage, Liv Morgan was giving a pep talk to Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez. When Raquel left, Liv told Perez she wanted to finish a conversation they started earlier. She apologized for how things went down with Finn Balor while they were gone since they were close. She said she watched Finn bring her into The Judgment Day and they are family. She said Balor put himself before the family and she\u2019d never do that. She said she\u2019d support her and thus she\u2019ll be in her corner as she gets one step closer to tag team gold. She asked Perez if she trusts her. Perez nodded, but didn\u2019t seem convinced. Perez asked for a second alone. Liv agreed and said it was exciting. Finn walked up to shh\u2019d her. Balor told her not to trust Liv or anyone in The Judgment Day. Perez asked if she should trust him. She told him get out of there before he gets hurt. Balor wished her luck and said he hopes she knows what she\u2019s doing.<\/p>\n -Cole got in a plug for Club WWE.<\/p>\n -Lyra Valkyria and then Bayley came out to their entrance themes. [c]<\/p>\n [HOUR THREE]<\/p>\n (5) LYRA VALKYRIA & BAYLEY vs. ROXANNE PEREZ & RAQUEL RODRIGUEZ<\/p>\n The match began near the start of hour three. They cut to an early break. [c]<\/p>\n Perez hot-tagged in at 9:00. When Bayley took over, Liv stood on the ring apron. Bayley turned to her. Perez took advantage and landed a Pop Rocks for the win.<\/p>\n WINNERS: Perez & Morgan in 10:00.<\/p>\n -A video aired on Sol Ruca. Graves said she\u2019d sign her Raw contract officially next week.<\/p>\n -Roman Reigns made his entrance. [c]<\/p>\n -Roman\u2019s music faded after the break. Fans sang and chanted for Reigns. He said it was great to be in Lorado. He said they created the World Heavyweight Title to try to take away his shine, but it never worked. \u201cThe title don\u2019t make the man, the man makes the titles,\u201d he said. He said he put the title in the night two WrestleMania main event. \u201cI made this title relevant, so now you can finally be proud of this title,\u201d he said. \u201cNow you can respect this title. Now you can actually choose to acknowledge this title.\u201d Fans cheered. He asked fans to acknowledge him. Fans cheered. Fatu interrupteed. Reigns said he was right on cue.<\/p>\n Fatu said Roman gave him a week to decide, but he didn\u2019t need a week or a day or an hour. He said he didn\u2019t hesitate when he told him he needs the title. He told Roman he is stuck in his main event bubble and Tribal Chief land. He said he put in 12 years of hard work and grinding and suffering, not knowing what the next meal was going to be. He said when Reigns was running The Bloodline, he was broke and worrying about his next meal and wondering if he\u2019d ever make it to WWE. He said it\u2019s not how you start, it\u2019s how you finish. He said now he\u2019s standing before him. He said he, Jey, and Jimmy didn\u2019t call him, but Solo did. \u201cSolo gave me a chance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Reigns interrupted and said, \u201cSolo?\u201d He said either Fatu is confused or dumber than he thinks. He said Solo couldn\u2019t get a cup of coffee delivered. \u201cWho do you think runs this place?\u201d Reigns said. Fans chanted \u201cOTC!\u201d Reigns said the fans are right. He said he\u2019s been distracted and things got hectic, but he never forgot about him and he signed off on his ass. He said Fatu is \u201csounding like a fool to me.\u201d He said he doesn\u2019t deserve it or earn it. He said allowing Fatu to compete against him is nepotism and he can\u2019t allow it. Fatu attacked him and applied a Tongan Death Grip. Cole said he snapped and is unhinged. He vowed to take everything from him. Fans booed Fatu. Fatu dropped the belt over Reigns and left. Reigns sat up, red-faced and grabbing his throat. As Fatu walked up the aisle, Reigns said, \u201cJacob! Jacob! You want me at Backlash, I\u2019ll see you at Backlash!\u201d Scattered cheered. Fatu\u2019s music played as Fatu said he\u2019d see his punk ass next Monday.<\/p>\n JOIN OUR TEAM!<\/p>\n We are accepting applications this week to join our team of volunteer contributors.
