Tonight’s WWE Monday Night Raw is live from Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Jimmy Smith welcomes us and he’s joined at ringside by Corey Graves and Byron Saxton. WWE announced Bianca Belair vs. IYO SKY, AJ Styles vs. Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins vs. Rey Mysterio, Riddle vs. Damian Priest and Kevin Owens & Johnny Gargano vs. The Alpha Academy.

– Tonight’s WWE Raw opened with RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair, Asuka and Alexa Bliss making their way to the ring. We see recent happenings between Belair and Bayley. Belair takes the mic and says she thought about challenging Bayley tonight, why wait until Extreme Rules? But she knew Bayley wouldn’t make this about just them. Belair goes on about how Bayley should’ve faced Bliss one-on-one but she can’t fight her battles alone so the others from Damage CTRL had to interfere. 

Belair says Bliss and Asuka will be watching Bayley’s girls at WWE Extreme Rules to make sure it stays one-on-one. The music interrupts and here comes Damage CTRL – Bayley, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Dakota Kai and IYO SKY. Bayley says she thought Belair would’ve learned her lesson last week. Bayley goes on about how she’s wanted to take over WWE since age 12. She says Belair was chosen but Belair dismisses this and says she earned everything she has. Belair knocks Bayley for being out so long with an injury, and says she will not downplay her own accomplishments. 

Bayley says she was out injured, but she taught herself how to walk and run again, then she pinned Belair at WWE Clash at The Castle. She says Belair only had success because she wasn’t here, so Belair needs to fall in line like everyone else. Belair disagrees and goes on how Bayley was here when she began her rise, and she remembers putting Bayley on a ladder with the KOD at Hell In a Cell. Bayley is sick of hearing about the past and hearing Belair run her mouth, but Belair just gave her a good idea. Bayley wants their match at Extreme Rules to be a Ladder Match. Belair seemingly accepts and says she can’t have Bayley, then she will get extreme with her girl tonight. Belair and SKY have words now as they get ready to go. A referee enters the ring and here we go.

– We see a black SUV pulling up in the back. The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa and Sami Zayn hop out. Sami is on the phone with someone as they enter the arena.

– Bianca Belair defeated IYO SKY via pinfall in singles match. After the match, Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair celebrates and stands tall with the title in the air as Damage CTRL regroups.

– Kevin Patrick at backstage with Rey Mysterio and brings up how Dominik Mysterio asked his dad to hit him with a steel chair last week, and asks Rey what is on his mind. Rey sighs and says Kevin as a father knows there’s no feeling like holding a newborn and wanting them to grow up, always wanting the best for them. Rey will always love his son and he will not under any circumstances fight him, but last week he wondered what happened to the son he raised because he doesn’t recognize who he’s become. 

Rey Mysterio knows that is not his son, it’s Rhea Ripley manipulating his heart and mind. Rey can’t let him sway his focus because tonight he steps in the ring with Seth Rollins. He’s had his fair share of battles with Rollins and he knows what a savage Rollins is. He says Rollins wanted to injure Matt Riddle with the same steel chair Dominik wanted Rey to hit him with, so Rey may have mercy on his own flesh and blood, but with everything going through his head right now, he will not show any mercy to Rollins tonight and walks off. 

– The Miz is at backstage with a group of security guards. Miz says they have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity worth $1 million dollars but not limited to an exclusive cameo in, gift cards, a certified pre-owned vehicle, plus career advice worth millions. Miz says he didn’t want big muscular security, he wanted smart and stealth security, which is why he chose these guys. Miz says these are not just elite security professionals, they are Miz-Force. He gets them to chant Miz-Force and orders them to go find He Who Shall Not Be Named and make sure He’s not here, referring to Dexter Lumis. The Miz-Force security teams rushes off as Miz looks on.

– Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring. Rollins welcomes everyone to Monday Night Rollins snd says he should be standing here as the new WWE United States Champion but there’s one reason he’s not, Riddle. Rollins recalls how he almost had Bobby Lashley beat last week but Riddle forced him to take his eye off the ball for one second and it cost him. Riddle has been a thorn in Rollins’ side for months but he cost him the last time because they will finish this inside the Fight Pit in two weeks. 

Rollins looks out at the crowd and they begin singing his theme again. Rollins has seen everyone’s comments about how the Fight Pit is Riddle’s match and how they think Rollins won’t win. Rollins says this may be Riddle’s match but Rollins has what Riddle doesn’t – the mind for fighting. Rollins says he has an Einstein-level acumen for fighting. Rollins goes on about how he will win inside the Fight Pit and everyone will be singing his song, and calling him the King of the Fight Pit. 

Rollins hopes Riddle is watching in the back and taking notes because he’s about to give the Father of the Year the beating he’s too cowardly to give his own son. The music interrupts and here comes Rey Mysterio. Rey is all business tonight as Rollins looks on. Rey hits the ring and attacks Rollins before the bell, sending him out of the ring. Rollins seethes at ringside and yells at Rey.

– Seth Rollins defeated Rey Mysterio via pinfall with interference of Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley. After the match, Rollins stands tall to celebrate and makes his exit now as we see Riddle backstage watching. The WWE United States Champion walks up and Riddle is started. Lashley hypes Riddle up for the Fight Pit and tells Riddle don’t let Rollins get out of the match as he’s afraid of tapping out or getting knocked out. 

Riddle won’t let Rollins escape this one and plans to knock him out or submit him. Lashley says he knows Riddle was just trying to help him last week, but he warns him to never interrupt one of his matches again. Lashley goes on and tells Riddle to knock Rollins’ teeth out. Riddle says damn straight.

– We see Kevin Owens and Johnny Gargano walking backstage. They stop and see one of The Miz’s security guards laid out on the floor. They laugh and keep walking.

– Kevin Owens and Johnny Gargano defeated The Alpha Academy via pinfall. After the match, Gargano and Owens hit the corners to pose while Alpha Academy recovers at ringside.

– Kevin Patrick stops AJ Styles at backstage and asks why he turned down the invite from The Judgment Day last week. AJ says you gotta give respect to get respect, and he’s been on his own for a while now. Finn Balor walks up smiling. Balor says he comes in peace, he is AJ’s friend. Balor says they know the importance of having a few friends around here.

Finn Balor says The Judgment Day has already achieved a lot, but with AJ, they could change the business together again. AJ shakes his head. Balor tells him to hear him out – AJ has a match tonight with Sami Zayn, and Sami has back-up in Solo Sikoa. Balor says as AJ’s friend, The Judgment Day would like to once again offer an olive branch. AJ says he will watch his own back. He walks off as Finn nods his head.

– We see Omos and MVP walking at backstage. 

– Austin Theory at backstage with Alpha Academy, asking what happened out there. Chad Gable says Otis hasn’t been 100% since that dumb doofus Braun Strowman hurt him on SmackDown. Gable says they would’ve schooled Johnny Gargano and Kevin Owens tonight if it weren’t for Braun. Theory says it would’ve been good to know that before this happened to his jaw. Theory says they need to get even because Gargano will not embarrass him twice in a dump like Canada. 

Theory’s phone rings and it’s someone for Gable. We hear Braun Strowman on the other end, and he’s not happy about the doofus comments. Braun promises they won’t be laughing next week as he challenges Gable to a match in Gable’s hometown, so they won’t have to fly Gable’s body home for the funeral. Gable tries to deliver a “Shoosh!” to Braun but he’s stuttering. They hang up and Theory hypes Gable up for next week, and says Otis will also face Gargano and end his short run here as this will be Gargano’s last match.

– Omos defeated Greg Lester and Joey Gibson via pinfall. After the match, Omos stands tall and MVP barks orders then Omos sends his victims back to the floor. Omos places Gibson on the announce table, then stacks Lester on top of him. MVP hypes Omos up as he stands on top of them on the announce table, raising his first in the air and yelling out.

– The Miz goes back into the room he was in earlier but he’s furious and disappointed when he sees his Miz-Force security guards laid out. The room has several Edmonton Oilers (local NHL team) items on display, including what looks to be a life-size hockey player mannequin. Miz is ranting when he suddenly senses Dexter Lumis in the room. Lumis is hiding in the hockey suit. He takes the helmet off and stares at the back of Miz’s head. Miz turns around and Lumis drops him with one shot. Lumis then breaks the hockey stock over him while he’s down. Lumis sits down next to Miz and Miz tries to crawl away but Lumis puts him to sleep with The Silence. Lumis starts petting Miz to end the segment.

– Nikki A.S.H. makes her way to the ring. She’s angry and ready to get revenge on Doudrop. The music hits and herecomes Candice LeRae instead. LeRae gets a big pop for her surprise debut and Nikki is shocked.

– Candice LeRae defeated Nikki A.S.H via pinfall. After the match, LeRae stands tall and poses as Nikki looks on from the corner. LeRae bows to the crowd and makes her exit. Nikki takes her mask off and she’s crying in the corner now.

– Kevin Patrick at backstage with The Judgment Day. Finn Balor tries to convince them that AJ Styles will come around and join them. Damian Priest is asked if he will hold back against his former friend tonight. Rhea Ripley says that is a dumb question. Priest will not hold back, Riddle is a former friend but this is his family. He says they will continue to run Raw while Riddle keeps his head in the clouds. Priest goes on knocking Riddle and says Seth Rollins has him so confused he thinks he’s doing MMA now. Priest says Riddle is not a Viper, he’s not a cage fighter, and he’s sure as hell not Priest’s friend any longer. Priest says Riddle will fall like everyone else tonight, while The Judgment Day will rise.

– Sami Zayn defeated AJ Styles via pinfall with some help of Solo Sikoa. After the match, Zayn stands tall and goes to ringside to embrace Solo. Sami celebrates with Solo at ringside, fist-bumping him again as AJ tries to recover in the ring. The music interrupts and out comes The Judgment Day. Finn Balor says it pains him to see AJ like this, and he wonders if the outcome would’ve been different if AJ took him up on the offer earlier. 

Finn Balor says AJ deserves much better. Balor enters the ring while the others wait on the apron. Balor says because he’s a fair and generous person, he’s asking AJ, as a friend, to rise up and join The Judgment Day. Balor offers his hand to help AJ up from the mat. AJ gets up on his own. Damian Priest smiles from the apron. Balor throws up the “Too Sweet” in the air but AJ flips him off in response. Balor kicks AJ in the gut and beats him down. 

Priest and Dominik Mysterio join in now. Rhea Ripley brings a steel chair and hands it to Balor. Balor wraps the chair around AJ’s neck, then goes for a big stomp while the others hold AJ down but Balor puts the brakes on and doesn’t follow through with the stomp. Balor kneels down and says he could’ve ended it all for AJ, but he’s AJ’s friend and that’s not what friends do. The Judgment Day stands tall over AJ, who is flat on his back with the chair still around his neck.

– Bianca Belair, Asuka and Alexa Bliss are at backstage talking when Candice LeRae walks by. She stops and says she hopes Belair shuts Bayley up at Extreme Rules. Belair says she will. She congratulates and compliments LeRae on tonight’s debut. Damage CTRL interrupts. Bayley says Belair and LeRae should be the ones to shut up. They have words and Bayley says compliments are just jealousy in disguise, right? LeRae tells her bullies are just cowards in disguise. 

Bayley says LeRae is confident after just one win but they can change that. WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Dakota Kai says Bayley already has a match at Extreme Rules, volunteering herself. LeRae says Kai doesn’t have a match. Bayley says she knows LeRae is new, but Damage CTRL is in control here, and if she wants a match with Kai, she has to wait until next week. Bayley says she will see Belair at Extreme Rules. Belair steps to her and says they don’t have to wait. Bliss and Asuka pull Belair away.

– Riddle defeated Damian Priest via pinfall. After the match, The Judgement Day attacks Riddle but music interrupts and here comes returning Edge. He rushes to the ring and spears Damian Priest. Now, goes to Dominik Mysterio but Rhea Ripley grabs him to the floor. Then, Balor tries to attack Edge but Edge fights back and spears Balor. Judgement Day regroups at ringside. Edge takes the mic and challenges Finn Balor for a match at Extreme Rules anf it’s going to be ‘I Quit’ match. The Judgement Day and Edge stares at each other and tonight’s Monday Night Raw goes off air.
