A Women’s Championship rematch is set to take place on tonight’s episode of Raw.
WWE has announced that Bianca Belair will defend her Raw Women’s Championship against Carmella on Raw tonight. It’s a rematch from Money in the Bank, where Belair retained her title but was then attacked by Carmella after the match.
Belair and new SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan teamed together to defeat Carmella & Natalya on Raw last week. The match was made after Belair saved Morgan from a beatdown by Carmella and Natalya.
Rey Mysterio vs. Finn Balor has also been announced for tonight’s Raw. In the Mysterios’ hometown of San Diego, Rey & Dominik Mysterio defeated Balor & Damian Priest by disqualification last Monday. Rey took a page out of the late Eddie Guerrero’s playbook by faking that he had been hit with a chair by Balor.
Balor and Priest attacked Rey and Dominik backstage after their match last week.
This will be the first-ever one-on-one match between Rey and Balor.
Raw is being held in San Antonio, Texas tonight and will feature an appearance by Brock Lesnar. Lesnar is challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in a Last Man Standing match at SummerSlam later this month.
A Bobby Lashley United States title open challenge and Riddle vs. Theory were previously announced for tonight’s Raw but are no longer being advertised on WWE.com.
Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Championship has been set for Money in the Bank.
Ripley won a fatal four-way match tonight on Raw, defeating Doudrop, Alexa Bliss, and Liv Morgan to earn the championship match for Money in the Bank. The finish had Ripley pin Doudrop with a riptide. After the match, the show closed with Ripley and Belair, who was at ringside, having a staredown.
Earlier in the show, Ripley and other members of Judgment Day introduced their newest member, Finn Balor. However, the group then turned their attention to Edge, with Priest saying that they needed to shed themselves of the one thing holding them back. They all proceeded to beat on Edge, with Ripley warding off security out of the ring as Priest gave Edge a conchairto, kicking him out of the group.
Money in the Bank will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 2.
Before Hell in a Cell, Bianca Belair will face one of her upcoming challengers in non-title action.
WWE has announced that Belair vs. Asuka will take place on Raw next Monday. The episode is Raw’s go-home show for Hell in a Cell.
Belair defending her Raw Women’s Championship against Asuka and Becky Lynch in a triple threat match has been confirmed for the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. Lynch was added to the match after defeating Asuka in the main event of last night’s Raw.
Belair was at ringside for Asuka and Lynch’s match. While Asuka and Lynch were fighting on the outside, Asuka went to kick Lynch but accidentally struck Belair. Lynch then attempted to win the match by countout. Asuka was able to make it back into the ring in time, but Lynch pinned her to get the victory.
Asuka had defeated Lynch last week to become the number one contender to Belair’s title.
Belair has been Raw Women’s Champion since winning the title from Lynch at WrestleMania 38 last month.
A non-title match between Belair and Asuka also headlined the May 9 episode of Raw. Lynch caused that to end in a no contest when she attacked both Belair and Asuka.
Next week’s Raw is being held at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa. Here’s what’s been announced for the episode:
Non-title match: Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair vs. Asuka
A match with Hell in a Cell implications headlined last night’s episode of Raw.
Becky Lynch and Asuka faced off in the main event of Raw for the second straight week. Lynch was victorious this time, which means that she’s now been added to the Raw Women’s Championship match at Hell in a Cell. Bianca Belair will defend her title against Asuka and Lynch in a triple threat match.
Belair was again sitting at ringside for Asuka vs. Lynch last night. As Asuka and Lynch were fighting on the outside, Asuka went to kick Lynch but accidentally struck Belair. Lynch tried to capitalize on that and win by countout. Asuka was able to get back into the ring in time, but Lynch pinned her to get the victory.
WWE has announced that a non-title match between Belair and Asuka will take place on Raw’s go-home show for Hell in a Cell next Monday.
Two new matches were also confirmed for Hell in a Cell last night. Bobby Lashley will face Omos & MVP in a handicap match, while Kevin Owens will take on Ezekiel. MVP got to pick the stipulation for Lashley vs. Omos after Omos helped him defeat Lashley by countout last night.
The Raw Women’s Championship match at Hell in a Cell will now be a triple threat.
Becky Lynch was added to the match on tonight’s Raw, defeating Asuka in a match where she would be added to the Hell in a Cell card if she won. The finish of the match had Asuka going for a kick that missed Lynch but hit Belair, who was sitting by at ringside. Asuka managed to roll into the ring right before the count of ten, but Lynch covered her as soon as Asuka entered the ring, pinning her.
Asuka became the number one contender to the Raw Women’s Championship after pinning Lynch last week on Raw. On tonight’s show, Lynch was unhappy about the loss and claimed that Asuka cheated. Adam Pearce then made the match for tonight’s show.
Here is the current card for Hell in a Cell, which will take place on June 5 in Chicago:
Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins in a Hell in a Cell match
Bianca Belair vs. Asuka vs. Becky Lynch for the Raw Women’s Championship
A Raw Women’s Championship match has been announced for WWE Hell in a Cell.
Asuka defeated Becky Lynch in a number one contender’s match on this week’s WWE Raw episode to earn a title shot at Belair at the June 5 Hell in a Cell event.
As Raw began, a six-pack challenge was announced for a number one contender’s match, with Lynch, Asuka, Sasha Banks, Naomi, Doudrop, and Nikki A.S.H. set to compete. It was announced during the show that Banks and Naomi had left the arena, and the match was changed to Asuka vs. Lynch.
Belair was on commentary during the bout, and Lynch repeatedly tried to bait her into interfering in the match. As Belair jumped on the apron, Lynch tried to use Asuka’s parasol as a weapon, but Asuka spat green mist on Lynch and rolled her up for the pin to become number one contender.
Two matches are official for Hell in a Cell. Here is the lineup so far:
WWE Hell in a Cell, Sunday, June 5, 8 p.m. Eastern time on Peacock & WWE Network —
Hell in a Cell match: Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins
Raw Women’s Championship: Bianca Belair (c) vs. Asuka

The Big Takeaway —
Asuka returned, Mustafa Ali returned, Ciampa turned heel, Bianca Belair retained her title, and Randy Orton handed out plenty of RKOs on his 20th anniversary night.
Show Recap —
Randy Orton’s 20th-anniversary celebration
Riddle was in the ring and the Raw roster surrounded ringside. (Seth Rollins sat alone next to the commentary table.)
Riddle played an Orton video package. It started with his debut win over Hardcore Holly on Smackdown 20 years ago and spanned his career including his time in Evolution, his first world title win, his time as the legend killer, and his many title reigns including his current tag title reign with Riddle. Orton said he’s been having a ton of fun because his partner is fun to be around and it’s reignited his passion. The crowd gave the video a big ovation.
Orton entered and the crowd chanted for him. Orton said he appreciated Riddle. He mentioned that Knoxville, Tennessee is actually where he was born and it was cool that they were doing this here. Orton said there have been a lot of ups and downs but he hoped the fans weren’t getting sick of him because he wasn’t going anywhere for a long time.
Orton said he’s had a lot of great moments and matches including matches against John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Undertaker and Mick Foley. In fact, it was because of Foley he became the legend killer. Triple H and Ric Flair deserved credit as well.
Orton was having more fun than he’s ever had and it was because of Riddle. Orton told him, “I love you, man.” They hugged. Orton said the fans have always supported him through everything and he loved them all as well.
Riddle had a surprise for Orton — a man who looked up to Orton and once considered him a friend. Riddle introduced Cody Rhodes. Rhodes hugged Orton. Riddle acted jealous.
Rollins grabbed a mic and interrupted. Rollins warned Orton not to trust Rhodes. He claimed Rhodes was just there to steal his spotlight. Rollins told Rhodes that not everything was about him. Rollins said tonight was about Orton whose time was in the past. Rollins said the next generation would be inspired by him, not Orton or Rhodes or Riddle.
Ezekiel interrupted. As a newer superstar on the roster, he wanted to introduce himself to Orton. Kevin Owens marched out through the crowd and accused Ezekiel of being a liar.
Owens ranted like a mad man until the Usos interrupted next. The Usos said their favourite Orton moment would be when they beat RK-Bro at Backlash to unify the titles.
Adam Pearce entered to sign an eight-man tag match. Rollins, Owens and the Usos against Rhodes, Ezekiel, Riddle and Orton.
Owens decked Ezekiel so Orton dropped Owens with an RKO.

Glenn Jacobs was shown speaking with Bianca Belair in the back.
Bianca Belair defeated Sonya Deville via count out to retain the Raw Women’s Championship (0:45)
Belair chucked Deville over the announce table and won in 45 seconds by count-out. Deville said this shouldn’t count because she slipped on water and had the match restarted as a no count-out match.
No count-out match: Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair defeated Sonya Deville via disqualification (0:52)
Deville hit Belair with a chair for a DQ in under a minute. She claimed that Belair used a weapon — her hair — first, so this shouldn’t count either. She had the match restarted as a no count-out, no DQ match.
(I don’t know if those were officially matches or not, but I’m listing them anyway.)
No count-out, no disqualification match: Bianca Belair defeated Sonya Deville to retain the Raw Women’s Championship (6:08)
Deville immediately signalled to the back and Carmella and Queen Zelina marched out to assist her. After a break, they were teaming up on Belair who fought them off. Deville drove Belair face-first into the middle turnbuckle and gave her a DDT onto a steel chair for a nearfall.
Belair once again fought off both Zelina and Carmella before giving Deville a KOD for the pinfall win. Belair retains the title. The crowd was happy.
********
Carmella and Zelina argued in the back until they were interrupted by Deville. She informed them that they screwed up her title chance so now they wouldn’t be getting theirs. Zelina didn’t like this news so Deville slapped her. Carmella spoke up too so Deville slapped her even harder. Deville let them know that she was still the boss.
********
Edge & Damian Priest segment
Like last week, Edge sat on his throne with Damian Priest by his side. Edge said Priest would finish his business with Finn Bálor tonight. Edge insulted Tennessee’s college football team, mocked the fans and mocked AJ Styles. Priest said Bálor would face his judgment day. (Edge said a lot of words but that was the gist of it.)
********
Veer Mahaan defeated Sam Smothers (0:36)
Mahaan won quickly by submission with the “Cervical Clutch” (modified camel clutch).
After the match, Mahaan reapplied the hold before slamming the guy on the announce table. Mahaan leaped onto the table and applied the hold again.
********
Sarah Schreiber interviewed Bobby Lashley who was warming up as if he was getting ready for a fight. She noted that he didn’t seem to be warming up for an arm wrestling contest. Lashley said he was pretty confident in his arm wrestling abilities but he didn’t trust Omos or MVP.
[SECOND HOUR]
They showed tweets from John Cena, Drew McIntyre and Triple H congratulating Orton on his anniversary.
Arm Wrestling Match: Bobby Lashley defeated Omos (w/MVP)
This went exactly as you’d expect.
Omos was initially winning but as MVP berated Lashley, Lashley powered up and won. Omos attacked Lashley afterwards and slammed the arm wrestling apparatus onto him.
********
There was a segment earlier today with R-Truth giving couples counselling to Reggie, Dana Brooke, Tamina and Akira Tozawa. This resulted in a mixed tag match with Truth as the referee.
Mixed tag team match: Tamina & Akira Tozawa defeated 24/7 Champion Dana Brooke & Reggie (1:31)
Tozawa won with a diving senton on Reggie.
Tozawa tried to pin Brooke afterwards for the 24/7 title but Truth broke it up. Truth, still dressed as a referee, tried to pin Brooke while also counting the fall but she kicked out and ran away.
********
Becky Lynch promo / Asuka return
A downtrodden Lynch entered. She said it’s been three years since she walked out on Raw without her championship, three years since somebody has been able to beat her. She almost didn’t want to appear tonight because she didn’t know who she was without the title. “I’ve hit rock bottom. That’s it. That’s all I have to say.”
Lynch was about to drop the mic but she realized that being at the bottom meant there was only one way to go. This would be the beginning of an epic Becky Lynch comeback and the fans would be lucky enough to witness it. She would topple Belair and she would be champion forever because no one could stop her.
Asuka entered to a big reaction. Lynch froze.
Asuka told Lynch: “I will stop you. Because no one is ready for Asuka.”
Asuka flicked Lynch’s nose. Lynch took a swing at Asuka, Asuka ducked and swung back but Lynch bailed.
********
Backstage, the Street Profits spoke about Orton before congratulating Belair on retaining her title. They spoke about tonight’s match before announcing, per Adam Pearce, that they would face the winners of the tag title unification match.
********
Damian Priest defeated Finn Bálor (7:21)
Edge watched from his throne on the stage. Priest was announced as “representing Judgment Day.”
Priest gave Bálor a Razor’s Edge onto the apron which led to break 90 seconds into the match. Bálor came back with his usual offense and countered a chokeslam into a cradle for two.
Bálor went to the top but was distracted by… Edge standing up off his chair. Priest grabbed Bálor and hit a big chokeslam and flatliner for the pinfall win.
[THIRD HOUR]
Miz TV with guest Theory / Mustafa Ali returns
Miz introduced Theory and they took a selfie together. Miz spoke about their similarities before asking Theory what it was like being US champion.
Theory said he looked up to Miz and planned on living up to his standards. Theory wanted to prove he was the best investment Mr. McMahon has ever made and would take the US title to new heights. The crowd chanted “what” at Theory throughout his promo.
Mustafa Ali interrupted. Ali was all smiles. He received a moderate “welcome back” chant.
Miz asked if Ali still worked here and Theory asked if he was the guy who took his ball and went home.
Miz made a joke at Ali’s expense and Ali said if he wanted to laugh he would watch Miz try to wrestle. Ali challenged Theory to a US title match tonight. The crowd cheered.
Theory said no. Ali wondered if Theory was all biceps and no balls. Ali said Theory was running away from a fight like he was the Miz. Theory stood up for the Miz and called him a future Hall of Famer who would never run away from a fight.
Miz said he would love to embarrass Ali but he doesn’t have a magic wand to make a match whenever he wanted. Theory said, “but I do.” Theory had texted McMahon who made a match between Miz and Ali. Miz wasn’t happy.
Miz told Ali, “I’m gonna make you wish you got your walking papers.” Ali smacked him.
********
Mustafa Ali defeated The Miz (6:42)
Miz was in control until Ali came back with a spinning kick, a chop, and a rolling neckbreaker for two. Miz responded with a DDT for two. Miz shoved Ali off the rope and he landed awkwardly on his leg. Miz went for the Figure Four but Ali reversed into a cradle for the pinfall win.
— As Ali posed on the stage after the match, Tommaso Ciampa rushed in from nowhere and decked him. (They abruptly cut away from this.)
The announcers referred to him only as “Ciampa.”
********
Schreiber interviewed Rhea Ripley. Ripley said she finally opened her eyes. When she first arrived on Raw, she won the championship on her own. Since then, she’s had teammates who have done nothing but drag her down.
Liv Morgan barged in and attacked Ripley until they were quickly separated by officials.
*******
Chad Gable argued with Owens about payment for last week’s segment. Owens still didn’t want to pay him. Rollins interrupted because he wanted to speak to Owens. They argued until they were interrupted by the Usos. Jey and Jimmy told them to stay on their page because Rollins and Owens don’t want to be on Roman Reigns’ bad side. Rollins laughed and the Usos walked away. Rollins tried to play nice with Owens but Owens walked away from him too.
********
Kevin Patrick interviewed MVP and Omos. MVP said the arm wrestling challenge wasn’t about brawn, it was about brains, and Lashley showed why he’d be nothing without him. Omos challenged Lashley to a match at Backlash. (They piped in booing for Omos.)
********
10:27pm: Cody enters. Commercial break. 10:31pm: MVP/Omos interview 10:35pm: Ezekiel enters, RK-Bro enters. 10:37pm: Usos, Owens, Rollins enter. 10:40pm: Ezekiel attacks Owens. Teams brawl leading to commercial break. 10:43pm: Back from break, main event is underway.
********
Eight-man tag match: Cody Rhodes, Ezekiel & Raw Tag Team Champions Randy Orton & Riddle defeated Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens & Smackdown Tag Team Champions The Usos (approx. 15:13)
(Ezekiel’s physique and tassels on his arms make his body look like Ultimate Warrior’s.)
Orton and Rhodes worked together early on but the Usos used their numbers advantage to take control over Rhodes. Rollins waited for Rhodes to be down before tagging in but Rhodes fought him off and tagged in Ezekiel.
Ezekiel hit Rollins with a jumping knee and spinebuster for two. Riddle tagged in and hit a few moves until Jimmy Uso attacked him from behind and Rollins brought him down with an impressive reverse superplex.
After a break, Riddle brought down Rollins with a floating bro but Jimmy prevented a tag. Riddle fought him off but the heels knocked all of the babyfaces off the apron so he couldn’t tag out. Owens hit a senton for two but Orton managed to tag himself in.
Orton handed out back suplexes to Jey, Rollins and Owens onto the announce table before giving Jey a draping DDT. Rhodes gave Rollins a Disaster kick and Orton followed with an RKO. Ezekiel assisted Orton into giving Owens an RKO, and Riddle assisted in Orton giving Jimmy an RKO.
Jey tried a splash but Orton countered into an RKO for the pinfall win.
The crowd cheered and the good guys posed as the show ended.
A Women’s Championship match and an arm wrestling challenge have been announced for next week’s WWE Raw.
In her hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee, Bianca Belair will defend the Raw Women’s Championship against Sonya Deville.
In her storyline role as a WWE official, Deville announced herself as Belair’s next challenger on last week’s Raw. On this week’s episode, Belair said that she wanted the match right away. Instead, Deville said that she would take the title from Belair in her hometown on next week’s show. Belair was fined $1 in storyline by Adam Pearce for putting her hands on Deville after threatening to hit her with the KOD finisher on Raw.
Also announced for next week, Bobby Lashley will face Omos in an arm wrestling challenge.
Lashley defeated Omos at WrestleMania 38. On the Raw after WrestleMania, Omos aligned with Lashley’s former manager MVP.
Here is the announced lineup for next week:
WWE Raw, Monday, April 25 —
Raw Women’s Championship: Bianca Belair (c) vs. Sonya Deville
Sonya Deville will officially be the first challenger for Bianca Belair’s Raw Women’s Championship.
During Wednesday’s episode of WWE’s The Bump, it was announced that Belair will defend her Raw Women’s Championship against Deville at WrestleMania Backlash on Sunday, May 8. The title match was set up on Raw earlier this week.
Belair won the Raw Women’s Championship by defeating Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 38 night one.
Belair defeated Zelina Vega in a match on Raw this week. After the match, Deville appeared and mentioned Lynch, Rhea Ripley, Carmella, Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan, Doudrop, and Dana Brooke as potential first challengers for Belair. Belair said she was ready for whoever Deville had.
Belair signed an open contract for a title match and was waiting for her opponent to emerge. But Deville attacked Belair from behind, named herself as Belair’s challenger, and signed the contract.
Deville has been an on-screen authority figure for WWE since the beginning of 2021. She’s also wrestled while being an authority figure.
In a backstage segment on Raw, fellow authority figure Adam Pearce told Deville that naming herself as Belair’s next challenger was a complete and total abuse of power. Pearce said he couldn’t believe Deville thought she was going to get away with it. Deville said she made it official — and there’s nothing Pearce can do to stop her.
WrestleMania Backlash is being held at Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island. Here’s the updated card for the pay-per-view:
“I Quit” match: SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair defends against Ronda Rousey
Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins
Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair defends against Sonya Deville
Bianca Belair’s first challenger for the Raw Women’s Championship is set.
On-screen authority figure Sonya Deville announced herself as Belair’s first challenger on this week’s WWE Raw episode.
In her role as WWE official, Deville presented Belair with an open contract to sign before Belair’s opponent was revealed. Deville touted the depth of the women’s division, mentioning Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, Carmella, Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan, Doudrop, and Dana Brooke as potential opponents.
Belair then signed the contract. Deville made a show of announcing the opponent, calling them a generational superstar who broke down social norms. Deville then attacked Belair from behind with a chop block, announced herself as the challenger, then signed the contract herself.
In a backstage segment later in the show, on-screen official Adam Pearce chastised Deville for abusing her power in naming herself Belair’s opponent.
Belair won the Raw Women’s title at WrestleMania 38, defeating Becky Lynch to capture the Raw Championship for the first time.
Bianca Belair is the new WWE Raw Women’s Champion.
She defeated Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 38 in Dallas to win the title on Saturday. Belair is now a two-time Women’s Champion in WWE, having won the Smackdown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 37 and now the Raw title at WrestleMania 38.
Lynch’s reign with a championship ends at 223 days. She won the Smackdown title from Belair at SummerSlam 2021 in an impromptu match after returning to WWE following a 15-month absence. Lynch would then exchange the Smackdown title for the Raw belt during a segment on the December 17, 2021 edition of Smackdown. She then held the Raw championship for 162 days before losing it to Belair at Mania.
Belair has now won a championship at two straight WrestleManias. She defeated Sasha Banks to win the Smackdown title at WrestleMania 37 last year. During her 133-day reign, she defended the belt twice against Bayley and twice against Carmella before losing it to Lynch.
With WrestleMania 38 just days away, a special “WrestleMania Raw” took place last night.
The go-home show featured wrestlers from both the Raw and SmackDown rosters. WWE Champion Brock Lesnar and Universal Champion Roman Reigns each appeared on the episode and delivered promos building up their title unification match for WrestleMania 38 night two this Sunday.
Bianca Belair turned the tables on Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch by cutting off some of her hair last night. After brawling with Belair and attacking her with a steel chair, Lynch brought out a pair of scissors. She went to cut Belair’s braid off, but Belair picked Lynch up and hit the KOD. Belair gave Lynch another KOD, then picked up the scissors herself. She cut Lynch’s hair until eventually stopping after officials made their way out to the ring.
Plus, Bobby Lashley returned to WWE television and set up a match against Omos for night two of WrestleMania.
It’s a brand new episode of We’re Live, Pal, as Andrew Zarian and I are back to talk about the the road to WrestleMania 38.
We take a look at the main matches at WrestleMania and wonder if our excitement has heightened compared to when the match was announced. In short, we play a game called, “Does it do it for you?”
We also talk about the news of AEW’s partnership with DDT and Andrew wonders if it’s the deal that a WWE person mentioned to him some weeks ago. Lastly, we take a quick look at the ROH’s PPV, Supercard of Honor, with Tony Khan booking.
Enjoy the latest We’re Live, Pal in podcast form below or on YouTube above.
Two Women’s Championship matches are set for night one of WrestleMania 38.
WWE has announced that Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair’s Raw Women’s Championship match will take place at WrestleMania 38 night one this April. AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas is hosting the two night event on Saturday, April 2 and Sunday, April 3.
This means that Lynch vs. Belair will be happening on the same night as the SmackDown Women’s Championship match between Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey.
WWE Champion Brock Lesnar and Universal Champion Roman Reigns’ winner-take-all title unification match has been announced for night two of WrestleMania 38.
Belair challenging Lynch at WrestleMania was confirmed when Belair defeated Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Doudrop, and Nikki A.S.H. in a number one contender’s Elimination Chamber match earlier this month.
Lynch retained her Raw Women’s Championship against Lita at Elimination Chamber.
At WrestleMania, Belair will be looking to avenge her loss to Lynch from last year’s SummerSlam. Lynch made her return to the ring at that pay-per-view and defeated Belair in 26 seconds to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
Lynch became Raw Women’s Champion when she and Charlotte swapped title belts after changing brands in last year’s WWE Draft.
