Moment of Bliss with Orton set for WWE Raw, McIntyre to open show

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Following last night’s title change, new WWE Champion Randy Orton and former champion Drew McIntyre are set to make appearances on tonight’s episode of Raw.

Last night’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view ended with Orton defeating McIntyre in a Hell in a Cell match to win the WWE Championship. Tonight, Orton will be Alexa Bliss’ guest on A Moment of Bliss. Bliss is aligned with “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt. Bliss and Wyatt both moved to Raw in the WWE Draft earlier this month.

This is Orton’s 14th reign as a WWE World Champion.

WWE has also announced that McIntyre will kick off tonight’s Raw. Prior to losing the title to Orton last night, McIntyre had been WWE Champion since defeating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 this April.

McIntyre tweeted today: “To everyone who has taken time out of their day to send me a message of support, thank you, it means the world to me. I’ll be opening up #WWERaw and I have something I want to say…”

The build to Survivor Series will begin on Raw tonight. There will be three Survivor Series qualifying matches on the episode. They are: Jeff Hardy vs. AJ Styles, Sheamus vs. Matt Riddle, and Keith Lee vs. Elias. The winners will qualify for Team Raw in this year’s Survivor Series men’s elimination match.

Survivor Series is taking place on Sunday, November 22.

A new match and segment have been added to the lineup for this week’s episode of SmackDown.

WWE has announced that AJ Styles vs. Sami Zayn will take place on SmackDown this Friday. There will also be a Moment of Bliss segment on the episode with Nikki Cross appearing as Alexa Bliss’ guest.

Former champions Styles and Zayn are involved in a three-way feud with Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy. On SmackDown last week, Zayn interrupted an Intercontinental title match between Hardy and Styles and attacked both of them.

Nikki Cross won a fatal four-way number one contender’s match against Tamina, Lacey Evans, and Bliss on SmackDown last Friday and will challenge Bayley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Clash of Champions later this month. Bliss hit a Sister Abigail on Cross outside of the ring during the match and then walked out like she was in a trance. The storyline is that Bliss has been changed by her experiences with “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt.

Cross did a post-show interview last week and promised that she’s going to save Bliss.

Roman Reigns & Jey Uso will team together against Baron Corbin & Sheamus in a Samoan street fight on this Friday’s SmackDown. After being attacked by Bayley two weeks ago, Sasha Banks will return on this week’s show and respond to Bayley.

A Moment of Bliss segment is set for tonight’s Raw Reunion episode.

Sports Illustrated announced this morning that Becky Lynch will be Alexa Bliss’ guest on A Moment of Bliss tonight. The show is taking place at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

Bliss did an in-character interview with Sports Illustrated to hype the segment, claiming that she’s going to “expose” Lynch’s past.

“I have a plan for tonight’s A Moment of Bliss, and that plan is to expose Becky Lynch’s past,” Bliss said. “Tonight is the Raw Reunion, and that is all about the moments that have helped make WWE. It’s great to have all the legends coming back to Raw, but it’s also the perfect time to create this moment with Becky.”

“I’ve known Becky for a very long time, and I remember her first day in NXT,” Bliss said. “One of my first rivalries in WWE after I debuted on SmackDown was against Becky. She is the perfect person to interview, and expose, on A Moment of Bliss.”

Lynch will defend her Raw Women’s Championship against Natalya at SummerSlam in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on August 11. Natalya defeated Bliss, Naomi, and Carmella in a fatal four-way number one contender’s elimination match on Raw last week.

A Moment of Bliss segment is set for tonight’s episode of Raw.

Ahead of tonight’s show, WWE announced that Nikki Cross will be Alexa Bliss’ guest on A Moment of Bliss. The segment will be part of the build to Bliss challenging for Bayley’s SmackDown Women’s Championship at Extreme Rules on July 14.

Bliss getting the title shot at Extreme Rules was set up when Cross defeated Bayley in a non-title match on SmackDown last Tuesday. 

Bayley retained against Bliss at Stomping Grounds last month. Cross was in Bliss’ corner, and Bliss blamed Cross for her loss. Bayley hit Cross on a dive when Bliss pushed Cross in her way. Cross tried to go after Bayley, then Bayley got her knees up on a Twisted Bliss attempt and pinned Bliss after hitting the Bayley-to-Belly.

Two segments have been added to the lineup for Tuesday’s episode of SmackDown.

WWE has announced that there will be a Moment of Bliss talk show segment on the episode. SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley will be Alexa Bliss’ guest.

Bayley defeated Lacey Evans in a non-title match on SmackDown last week. Charlotte Flair tried to get involved after being struck by Bayley on the outside.
