This one was fun, but there had to be a more creative way to get these four to mix it up.
The Man Has Come Around
The new Women’s Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch, gloats over her WrestleMania title win against AJ Lee. Lynch goes on and on about her accolades. While being showered with boos, Lynch notes that she needs to be a fighting champion to show her daughter what a champion is. As a man of the people, she issues an open challenge. IYO SKY answers the challenge. SKY accepts. Lynch dumps on SKY for not being a worthy challenge.
Lynch asks if SKY is accepting on behalf of Rhea Ripley. Maybe she can be Becky Two-belts again. Lynch wants to fight the Shawn Michaels of the tag team, not the Marty Jannetty. SKY decks Lynch. Lynch runs away. Raw GM Adam Pearce walks out on the stage and tells Lynch that since she issued an open challenge, she has to honor it. Pearce books Lynch vs. SKY for the IC title right here, right now. Lynch attacks SKY from behind.
Women’s Intercontinental Championship Match: Becky Lynch (c) vs. IYO SKY

Grade: B
This was one of the best women’s matches on Raw this year. Lynch had her working boots on tonight, and SKY is… well, SKY. If this thing leads to a three-way feud between Asuka, Lynch, and SKY over the championship, sign this writer up.
Backstage, LA Knight confronts the Usos over running with the OTC again. Knight tells them they will only achieve their goals without Reigns’ influence.
Earlier tonight, Grayson Waller talked himself into a match with Oba Femi later tongiht.
Joe Hendry Concert
Joe Hendry made a big decision, and he wrote a song about it. Hendry sings that he’s signed to Raw. Hendry puts over the Ruler and the OTC, but asks Adam Pearce to fire Logan Paul. The crowd sings along. Logan Paul and Austin Theory interrupt. Paul screams about being unfirable. Theory says they have gold and are the greatest tag team in the universe. They are winners. Hendry calls them losers. The Vision attacks. The Street Profits make the save. Paul saves Theory from Montez Ford’s frog splash. Hendry dives over the top onto Paul and Theory.
Grade: B-
Fire Logan Paul… Fire Logan Paul… that song is catchy as hell.
Backstage, Rollins tries to speak to the Street Profits about them helping him last week. Ford cuts Rollins off and tells him that it wasn’t about Rollins. They want the titles. That’s it.
Rey Mysterio vs. El Grande Americano w/Los Americanos
Americano and Mysterio mostly have a fair contest. Until Bravo trips Rey. The other one tries to give Americano the metal plate to load his mask. Mysterio breaks it up with a 619. Americano holds the metal plate an antagonises over using it. The OG Americano hits the ring and takes the metal plate away. Mysterio lands another 619, followed by dropping the dime on Americano for the win.
Winner- Rey Mysterio
After the match, both Americanos brawl.
Grade: C+
Good match. It’s flat-out bizarre how OG Americano is the face here but the heel in Mexico.
Oba Femi vs. Grayson Waller
Femi destroys Waller and ends this with a Fall from Grace.
Winner- Oba Femi
After the match, Femi grabs a mic and says he’s feeling good tonight. Waller isn’t feeling so good, but no one cares. Femi has taken it upon himself to create a solution to the fact that there are no opportunities around here. He’s creating the Oba Femi open challenge. If you feel like stepping up, do so at your own peril.
Grade: A
Femi is channeling Rodney Mack, and this writer LOVES IT. #WhiteBoyChallenge
Backstage, Liv Morgan tells Roxanne Perez that she trusts her and asks if Perez trusts her. Perez nods yes. Morgan walks off and says she is going to be in Perez’s corner tonight. Finn Bálor walks in and tells Perez she can’t trust The Judgment Day. Perez says maybe she can’t trust Bálor.

Perez lands a shining wizard, followed by Pop Rocks for the win.
Winners- The Judgment Day
Grade: B
Super solid tag match, and happy to see Perez get the pin here. With the way this looks to be heading, Perez may be Morgan’s SummerSlam opponent. They are teasing a break here way too hard for it not to happen.
The OTC
Reigns notes that they made the title he’s carrying in spite of him. The title doesn’t make the man; the man makes the title. That’s exactly what he’s down with this strap. Reigns made this title relevant. Reigns tells the crowd to acknowledge him, which they do. Jacob Fatu interrupts. Reigns says he hopes Fatu has made the right choice here. Will Fatu unite the family? Or dive it? Fatu says he didn’t need a week, an hour, or a day to decide. Fatu says he said what he said. The crowd tells Reigns he doesn’t know his life and what he’s been through.
Solo Sikoa is the one who put Fatu on, not Reigns or the Usos. Reigns says he runs this place, and he never forgot about Fatu. Reigns is the one who signed off on Fatu. Allowing Fatu to face him would be nepotism; Fatu doesn’t deserve it. Fatu lunges at Reigns and locks in the Tongan Death Grip! The crowd is stunned. Fatu tells Reigns he’s taking everything from him. Fatu walks off. Reigns picks up the mic and tells Fatu he will see him at Backlash.
Grade: A
This is how you close out a Raw. Great promos from both men, followed by Fatu choking out Reigns with the most devastating move most of you have probably never seen. If Fatu is going to be channeling Haku/Meng, Reigns is in serious trouble.
