– Cathy Kelley had a backstage interview with Seth Rollins. Does he think it’s smart to continue picking battles with The Vision when it creates even more friction with him and other superstars? Rollins knows that he’s a marked man, he knows that he has zero allies, but he knows that, sooner rather than later, he has to put an end to The Vision. He’s been spinning his wheels thinking about the best way to do it. Sometimes the easiest way out of a situation is to run right through it. Rollins mentions that he hasn’t had a match on Raw in nine months, and we should change that, tonight, here in Greensboro, Coliseum. Adam Pearce is giving Rollins the main event. And with that main event, Rollins has a very direct challenge to make to The Vision, any of them. Rollins would love to see Bron Breakker accept that challenge. Is Bron Breakker just a nepo baby that can’t hack it? Is he an athlete who just turns into a wad of wasted potential? Or is he everything that he says he is? Tonight is Bron Breakker chance to show Seth Rollins who he really is.

– WWE LJN Wave 2 Action Figures are now available exclusively at Target.

– Coming out of the commercial break, Byron Saxton had a backstage interview with Sol Ruca. How does she feel about her performance so far on the main roster? Sol says that she’s been absolutely stoked to have the opportunities to wrestle some of the best women in this business. Sol knows that she hasn’t won, yet, but she’s still new, she’s only been doing this for four years, and she already made a huge statement, and she put the locker room on notice. Sol says that this is just the beginning. Becky Lynch interrupts the conversation. Becky said that she didn’t get any notifications. Sol hasn’t faced the best, because she hasn’t wrestled Becky Lynch, so that’s two lies there. Becky says that Sol is not doing good so far, because she’s 0-2, and she doesn’t know about Sol’s future if she couldn’t get any victories in her first two matches. Perhaps Sol may have bitten off more than she can chew. Becky tells Sol to leave and go back to NXT. Sol says that Becky has made a good point for once, and she walks away. Becky says that this generation gives up so easily. Becky was about the do a back in my day soliloquy before she got interrupted by Sol Ruca’s entrance music. Sol is making her way down to the ring.

Becky Lynch & Sol Ruca Segment 

Sol Ruca: Alright, alright, alright, I’m just gonna cut to the chase, because there’s no point in doing this back there, so I’m gonna do it right now in front of you guys. Becky, hey girl, I know you’re back there watching this right now, so I hope you just, you know, come out here and face me, like the man that you claim that you are. Come on, let’s talk.

Becky Lynch: Okay, okay, okay. What’s stunt are pulling here? Okay, making a holy show of yourself.

Sol Ruca: Look, I know you think that I should just run back to NXT, scared, and that I don’t belong here on Raw, but I have hard work too hard to just give up. And one thing about me is that I am damn good at proving people wrong. So, how about we do just that, let’s prove if you’re right or wrong. Let’s just do this is out, in this ring, right here, right now, what do you say? You hear that?

Becky Lynch: You want to face me?

Sol Ruca: Yeah, I do.

Becky Lynch: Yeah, you want to face me, right here, right now?

Sol Ruca: Yes.

Becky Lynch: You want to face me, right here, right now, in Greensboro, North Carolina?

Sol Ruca: Yes, I do.

Becky Lynch: Okay, no.

Sol Ruca: No?

Becky Lynch: No, no, no, hey, no, no, no. Hey, I would love nothing more than to perform for the people of Greensboro, North Carolina, because lord knows you can use some excitement in your life, and nothing would make your life more than to see a Becky Lynch match, and I would love to give that to you. But hey, I don’t just pride myself on being the greatest female wrestler of all-time, and it’s not just saying me it, other people are saying it, everybody is saying that.

Sol Ruca: Oh my god, here we go again. Here we go again.

Becky Lynch: Yes, here we do go again, and now I have to start over. Sorry, where was I? I am the greatest female wrestler of all-time, and it’s not just me saying it, other people are saying it, everybody is saying it, Sports Illustrated says it, The Bleacher Report says it. And I don’t just pride myself on that, I pride myself on being a locker room leader and being a mentor to the youth of today. Many people have stepped to me, they thought they were ready for the spotlight, and the fall from grace has been astounding. I’m thinking of Looney Lyra, Mediocre Maxxine, I mean, Absolute Joke AJ Lee, she was so traumatized, she had to leave the whole business. You, you are not ready, you’re not ready for this. And I think you really need to go and think about it. And think strongly if you’re ready to face me in the ring. And if you are ready, if you’re ready, then I will face you at Saturday Night’s Main Event. But you have to remember, I’m not just the star maker, I’m a star breaker.

Sol Ruca: That was cute. Becky, I know what you’re doing, and it’s not gonna work on me. I’ll see you at Saturday Night’s Main Event. And not only will snatch your soul, again, I will also snatch that title.

Becky Lynch: Hey, nobody said anything about this title, okay? You have done nothing to deserve this title. This title holds prestige, you don’t hold prestige, I hold prestige. You might have fooled some people with your flips and your tricks, but you ain’t fooled me. I’m the prize. You see if you’re ready to step in the ring with me. Welcome To The Big Time.

Breakker tells Heyman to make the match, tonight. Heyman thinks it’s a great idea, but it’s going to be Seth Rollins versus Austin Theory. Logan Paul is excited. Breakker asks Paul and Theory if he could have a conversation alone with Heyman. Theory tells Breakker that they have his back. Heyman knows that Breakker can beat Seth Rollins.

Ethan Page Sit-Down Interview 

Michael Cole: Thanks for joining us.

Ethan Page: Of course.

Michael Cole: I want to start with this question.

Ethan Page: No, I want to start with this.

Michael Cole: What is this?

Ethan Page: This is actually for both of us. Interviewers rarely are able to capture my standard of exellence, so to help you out.

Michael Cole: You do realize how long I’ve been doing this, right?

Ethan Page: Yes, I’m aware of your resume, and I’m actually shocked with the lack of humility, there’s always room for improvement, please.

Michael Cole: Okay, I’ll read your questions. PENTA has the title, you have everything else, the look, the ability, the record, the resume, the jaw line. Seriously?

Ethan Page: Yes, continue.

Michael Cole: Doesn’t it feel unfair that PENTA will have to defend his title against you Saturday? The man that broke the North American Championship reign winning record, former NXT Champion, the government of Canada recognized you, and now you want to rename the Intercontinental Title, the Ethan Page Championship?

Ethan Page: Mike, life is not fair. Do you really think that I chose to be born like this, this handsome, this talented, this charismatic, this dangerous in the ring? No, some people are lucky to be born under the stars, just meant to be a champion. Others have to work very hard at it, like PENTA.

Michael Cole: So, I do have a question for you.

Ethan Page: Okay, no, please, honor the request of the talent.

Michael Cole: You know, I can’t do this anymore. Why do you act like this?

Ethan Page: I don’t understand the question.

Michael Cole: Ethan, you have everything. 30 years, I’ve in this business, I’ve watched them come and go. But you have the looks, you have the charisma, you have the athletic ability. You’re gonna be a champion one day, in fact, you could be one of the all-time greats here in WWE, but you also have ego. And I think ego is going to cost you the Intercontinental Title on Saturday.

Ethan Page: Oh, you think so? Now all of sudden you’re worried about my future, Michael? Lovely. It’s not ego, it’s pure confidence. I believe that I already am the best wrestler in all of the WWE. And you know what, this Saturday, I plan to prove it to you and anyone else who doubts, All Ego. Michael, I will be the first man to put the word fear in the vocabulary of PENTA, and the last man to leave the ring at Saturday Night’s Main Event, with the Intercontinental Championship.

Michael Cole: Thank you, Ethan.

Ethan Page:  No, no, thank you, I think you did a great job.
