WWE Raw Opening Segment Grade: B-
Asuka def. Raquel Rodriguez, Stephanie Vaquer and Ivy Nile
Asuka received a huge reaction for her return. Her opponents worked over her good leg throughout the match.
A showdown between Stephanie Vaquer and Asuka, both of whom were very over in this match, somehow did not receive the heat it deserved.
Stephanie Vaquer tried the Devil’s Kiss, but it was broken up by Raquel Rodriguez. Huge heat. Vaquer then tried the Devil’s Kiss on Rodriguez herself, but Rodriguez countered with an Electric Chair. Vaquer countered and finally connected with the Devil’s Kiss on the apron.
Rhea Ripley pulled Rodriguez out of the ring as she had the match won, similar to what happened to Rhea at the hands of Rodriguez during Rhea’s QOTR match. Rodriguez took a Riptide and went on to take the losing pinfall to Asuka.
Asuka vs. Raquel Rodriguez, Stephanie Vaquer and Ivy Nile Grade: B
Goldberg Returns, Confronts Gunther
Gunther, who was heavily booed, received a pyro celebration (equipped with a drone camera) during his entrance.
Gunther made a reference to “what’s next,” prompting fans to chant for Goldberg. Gunther said “no, not that guy! I already cussed him out in front of his own family…” Gunther then brought up Seth Rollins, only to be interrupted by Goldberg.
Goldberg congratulated Goldberg. He said he was proud of Gunther. Goldberg then said Gunther started something with Goldberg in Atlanta, and Goldberg was going to make sure he was going to end it in Atlanta.
Goldberg challenged Gunther to SNME in Atlanta, July 12, because he’s next.
Goldberg Return Segment Grade: B+
AJ Styles Def. JD McDonagh
Backstage, the Judgment Day continued to crumble as Finn Balor beamed in the background like only he could.
Despite being booed earlier, fans chanted for Dirty Dom in the early goings of Styles vs. McDonagh.
Corey Graves called an Ushigoroshi by Styles, and Michael Cole—who typically works with the more casual Pat McAfee—said “I haven’t heard that in years.”
Styles best McDonagh clean, and made it clear he was coming after Dominik Mysterio’s IC Title.
JD McDonagh vs. AJ Styles Grade: B-
Bayley Calls Out Becky Lynch
Bayley received a warm reception, but less warm than Asuka’s. Bayley then paused for a singing chant, but didn’t get it. “We’ll get there, eventually,” said Bayley. Fans eventually chanted “Let’s go Bayley.”
Bayley said Becky Lynch taking he rout of WrestleMania didn’t hurt her, it healed her and made her stronger.
To make sure she’d get booed, Becky Lynch walked out in Bears gear. Of note, Seth Rollins, Lynch’s “Hot husband,” is a diehard Bears fan like a lot of Chicago’s worst.
Fans in God’s country of Green Bay chanted “Bears still suck!” Lynch quipped back by saying “They beat you last time.”
There was an awkward moment where Becky Lynch leaned against the ropes, feigning fear of Bayley. Bayley seemed to get legit perturbed, telling Becky to “Step up,” in the middle of an erratic promo.
Lynch slapped Bayley, Bayley no-sold the move and delivered a stiff forearm to Becky Lynch.
Backstage, Bayley received an Intercontinental Title shot next week. Lyra Valkyria was none-too-pleased.
Bayley Return Promo Grade: B-
Liv Morgan Injured Vs. Kairi Sane
After just one takedown, Liv Morgan dislocated her shoulder. There was an awkward pause as the camera cut to a shot of Kairi Sane, and Morgan was not seen on camera for the rest of the match.
After an emergency commercial break, WWE returned with the match being forfeited. Morgan used her arms to break a fall and suffered a freak injury. Hopefully it is not a long-term injury for one of WWE’s top stars.
Jey Uso Def. Bronson Reed, Rusev And Sheamus
Fans were really into Rusev, chanting “Rusev Day!”
Green Bay came alive during a showdown between Rusev and Sheamus, and there were dueling chants of “Let’s go Sheamus/Rusev Day!”
Jey Uso went for a splash, but was stopped by Bron Breakker. Sami Zayn came to Jey’s aid, but Breakker yeeted Zayn across the announce table. Penta hit the ring and hit a dive on Breakker.
As Reed tried to capitalize, LA Knight hit the ring and got his lick back. This led to two Uso Splashes for the win.
Seth Rollins hit the ring, followed by Cody Rhodes to the biggest pop of the night. Fans chanted “Holy shit!” as they stared each other down. Seth Rollins backed down to a chorus of boos.
