Solo Sikoa & Jey Uso Segment 

Solo Sikoa: It’s just me, uce, day one ish. It’s just me, uce, day one ish. Hey, line them all up. Am I in the right place? Norfolk, Virginia. Your boy Solo Dolo is now in your city. As we all saw what happened last week, The Bloodline took out my boy, Royce Keys. So, I came to Raw to handle some family business. So, Bloodline.

– Jey Uso’s music hits.

Jey Uso: You really want to do this, little brother? You want to air out our family laundry in the front of the whole world to see again? Hey, you know what the issue is, though. No, you know how to fix this issue, uce. Tribal Chief called the play, I need you to fall in line, Solo.

Solo Sikoa: Fall in line? What you mean, fall in line? Why is everybody keep saying that crap, fall in line? Well, how did that work out for you, did you fall in line? Because it looks like you fell off. Brother, let’s be honest, you were a World Champion, you won a Royal Rumble, you beat GUNTHER at WrestleMania. Every time these people heard your music, all the kids were happy. And now, all that crap is out the window, it sucks to be you now. Listen, I already told you this before, I’m not coming back to the family. I love where I’m at. Everybody here in Virginia, they love where Solo is at, baby. So, you can tell your Tribal Chief.

Jey Uso: Man, shut your cocky, spoiled, disrespectful ass up, Solo. Hey, you forget who the hell you’re talking to, little bro? I raised you. I fed you. I changed your diapers. No, you know why you’re here, it’s because of us. You know why you got that big house, uce? You know why your family is set for life? It’s because the rest of The Bloodline, it’s because of us. Funny ass, you’re out here mocking, thinking this is a game. But look though, we’re going to handle it. We’re going to handle this the only way our family knows how to handle, Solo. Me versus You, TONIGHT! Hey-Hey, he’s quiet now, if, when I win, you fall in line. You’re coming back to The Bloodline. I’m delivering your ass, first class, to The Tribal Chief. This is your warning shot. Bow!

Solo Sikoa: Is everybody alright back here? Did anybody get shot? Alright, good. Okay, calm down. I accept. But I’ll tell you this, when I beat you, you and this messed up family can leave me the hell alone. Now, this is your warning shot. Pew!

PENTA & Laredo Kid Promo 

PENTA: This tournament means everything to me. Every match, it’s a battle. Every battle takes me one step closer to my goal, Mexico City. Now, I can’t look past, Laredo Kid. Laredo Kid, you and I are old rivals. But tonight, you will find out the luchador I have become.

Laredo Kid: I know PENTA. Every luchador respects what he can do. I’m going to prove to him that I am the most complete luchador in the world. This moment is my moment. And nothing can stop me.

PENTA: That being said, I hope you’re ready for war tonight. I am going to win this tournament, because I want Roman Reigns, in Mexico City, with all my people behind me, and you know why? Because I’m PENTA and I have Cero Miedo.

– Coming out of the commercial break, Jey Uso runs into The Bloodline in the backstage area. What the hell y’all got going on out there tonight, Jacob asked. What do you mean, uce, OTC called the play, Jey is just trying to handle this Solo problem. Jacob says that it sounds like Jey is running his own plays and ignoring The Bloodline and The OTC. Jey says that it doesn’t matter, because he’s going to get this dub tonight, and bring Solo back to The OTC, personally, something Jacob’s ass couldn’t do. YEET!

Stephanie Vaquer: Hola, WWE Universe. I’m so happy to be here. I really missed this ring. I missed every Monday Night Raw. And I missed you guys. Thank you for all your support. But most of all, I really miss seeing Liv and Judgment Day get scared every single time they see me coming. You may have the numbers game, but you will never destroy me. I’m going to take out The Judgment Day, one by one. Raquel, I beat you up a thousand times, and I can do it again and again. Roxanne Perez, you are a dead woman. And Liv. Liv Morgan, I know you’re scared and you should be, because we both know that title belongs to me.

– Becky Lynch makes her way down to the ring.

Becky Lynch: The Man has come around to Norfolk, Virginia. Hola, senorita, how are you doing?

Stephanie Vaquer: What do you want?

Becky Lynch: What do I want, that’s what that means, what do I want? What do I want, oh, that’s a good question. I don’t want a lot. I probably want the same thing that you want, I want to beat the ever-loving piss out of Liv Morgan, for different reasons. You have a score to settle, I just don’t like the dope. And she’s taking that title on a fast-track time machine back to the Mid 2000’s and I have worked too hard, for too long to watch that happen. But you, I don’t know too much about you, I think you like to keep it that way, you’re a bit of an enigma, very mysterious. But what I do know about you is that you have made a big, big impact on Raw in the very short time that you’ve been up here, I do know that. And I do know that is especially impressive, considering you seem to be gone more often than you’re here.

Hey, you’ve had a run of bad luck, happens to the best of us, it’s okay. And I can’t figure out if you’re this bad ass, that just rushes back before you’re ready, because you want to fight or your body gives up, so that your mind doesn’t have to. But what I do know is that title doesn’t need any more bad luck. And I don’t consider myself particularly lucky, but I do consider myself particularly good. So, you can settle your score with Liv Morgan, you can beat the crap out of her, you can get your revenge, I’ll sit there and I will cheer you on, and I will eat popcorn while you do it. But when it comes to championship matches, that’s my domain. You don’t deserve that title, that title deserves me.

Stephanie Vaquer: Becky, Becky, Becky, respectfully, I don’t care. And listen, get in my way and I will show what La Primera is all about.

– Congratulations to Montez Ford and Bianca BelAir on the birth of their son, Romeo Leonardo Allen Crawford.

– Cathy Kelley had a backstage interview with LA Knight. Saying things got personal between LA Knight and Roman Reigns last week would be a massive understatement. Now that Knight has had a week to process everything, where does he stand? Let me talk to you. He stands in the same place he stood last week, which is Roman Reigns comes out here and says the same boring stuff he always says, like, get to the back of the line, and you didn’t earn it, and talks about his waste of money watch. Knight went ahead and got 10 more Walmart Watches, and they all tell the same time, it’s time for Roman Reigns to figure out if he’s got enough tingle in his loins to face him. True to his word, Roman set up a tournament last week, and LA Knight is going to win it. Cathy reminds Knight that it’s a Luchador Tournament. How convenient, Knight said. Solo Sikoa appears. Solo knows that Knight is dealing with Roman’s business, but did he see what happened to Royce Keys last week? The same thing may happen to Solo tonight, and then they’re going to come after Knight next. Knight says that his alliance with Solo at SummerSlam was just one night only. Solo says that Knight doesn’t get it, it’s not just him fighting Roman Reigns, it’s him against the entire Bloodline. Solo knows that Knight doesn’t need his help, but at least he tried to warn him.

– Byron Saxton had a backstage interview with Sol Ruca. What are her thoughts on her upcoming tag team match with The Judgment Day? Sol says that she’s been in this Judgment Day Vortex for months, and quite frankly, she’s sick of it. After last week, she has a score to settle with Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. Tonight is all about revenge, and after she beats them, she’s going back for what’s hers, The Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Is it safe to assume that Sol has a tag team partner? Let’s just say that Sol is not the only one that wants revenge on The Judgment Day, so it’s not very hard. Danhausen appears. Danhausen is willing to be her tag team partner for a big discount. Sol says that the spot has been taken and she’s sorry. Danhausen asks Byron Saxton for money. He doesn’t have any. Danhausen walks away in disgust.

Knight continues to call Roman a fraud, a liar, and if he’s not a liar, then he’s a coward. Knight has a Lucha Mask and he can enter his stupid little tournament. Pearce and Rey Mysterio have been preparing tournament for weeks. If Knight wants to be frustrated about Roman Reigns, be frustrated about the tournament. Knight has known Adam Pearce for a long time. He’s giving Knight his word, on the other side of this tournament, Pearce will find a way for Knight to earn that Number One Contenders Spot. Knight tells Pearce to work on that. Knight turns around and sees Jacob Fatu. Jacob says that Knight doesn’t get it, he keeps running his mouth about his family, talking about The OTC, if Roman gave Jacob the green light, he would dog walk his ass. Knight reminds Jacob that his Tribal Chief gave him strict orders to not lay a finger on him, so he’ll need to get a permission slip from his Tribal Daddy. Jacob tells Knight to shut his ass up. Knight says that Jacob is talking to the wrong person, he’s not Jey Uso. Jacob says that he’ll dog walk Knight’s bitch ass, and if you don’t already know, Jacob Fatu is all gas, no brakes with it, YADADAMEAN? FA-TU!
