“Raw” ignites rivalry for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
A few days before WWE lands in Perth, Australia, for the Crown Jewel live event, the “Raw” program generated new questions about the status and future of the World Heavyweight Championship. Jey Uso, CM Punk, and LA Knight eagerly await a title opportunity, while the current champion, Seth Rollins, is focused on taking home the Crown Jewel title against Cody Rhodes.
“Raw” Results for Monday
- Maxxine Dupri defeated Becky Lynch by count-out.
- Roxanne Perez defeated Lyra Valkyria.
- Kairi Sane defeated Iyo Sky.
- Penta, AJ Styles, and Dragon Lee defeated Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, and Finn Balor.
- CM Punk and LA Knight defeated The Usos.
The competition for the Heavyweight World Championship intensifies, generating great expectation.
When Punk, Knight, and Uso stormed the ring and began arguing over who deserves the next opportunity for the World Heavyweight Championship, the importance of the championship instantly rose. Rollins wasn’t even in the ring, as the three top superstars verbally competed for what seemed to be the most important thing for all of them.
Later, the stellar tag team event between Punk and Knight against Jey and Jimmy Uso reminded everyone that tension is present in every corner of WWE. It’s like the Spiderman pointing meme.
The match between Rollins and Rhodes at Crown Jewel promises to be very entertaining, but we know that both champions have their own paths after the event. It will be interesting to see how the title situation unfolds after Crown Jewel.
More details of “Raw”
“Raw” prepared an Australian street fight at Crown Jewel between Roman Reigns and Bronson Reed. What are the differences between an Australian street fight and other WWE street fights? We’re not sure. It seems the rules are very similar.
The match between Lynch and Dupri was fun with a creative finish that saw Lynch lose the count and be counted out by a 10-count from the referee that was sped up (particularly at 8, 9, 10). Lynch later addressed it, calling referee Jessika Carr “corrupt.”
Bayley, who was in Valkyria’s corner for her match with Perez, continued to show the duality of her personality, showing her aggressive and evil side minutes after being the charming and huggable version with Valkyria. This story seems like an implosion about to happen, and Valkyria will be the eventual victim, but not before Bayley and Valkyria team up for a tag team match with Perez and Raquel Rodriguez, whom Bayley and Valkyria attacked backstage.
Rollins pressed his manager, Paul Heyman, about what Heyman’s next move would be if Rollins were to lose again to Rhodes at Crown Jewel. To which Heyman replied: “I would have to ask myself why I chose you over Roman Reigns.” Whether Rollins uses that as motivation or it becomes a crack in The Vision’s armor, much of the focus of this match has been Rollins’ doubt and need to win, making the possibility of him losing again even more interesting.
At the end of last week’s “Raw”, it seemed that we might see the reformation of the original Bloodline, but this week cast doubt on that idea, as Reigns, Jey and Jimmy Uso simply couldn’t agree.
After Styles got the victory for his team in the six-man tag team match, he grabbed the microphone, jumped on the commentary table, and said that the story for his next match with John Cena at Crown Jewel “writes itself”, and I agree. All I really want from the rest of Cena’s retirement tour are some fun matches and a gimmick here and there.
