WWE Raw is emanating from the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland Ohio.
In Ring Segment:
Seth Rollins' music hits, and he makes his way down to the ring. As Seth stands in the ring, basking in the crowd singing along to his theme song, he is attacked from behind by Finn Balor. Balor knocks Rollins out of the ring, but Rollins pulls Balor out of the ring, but Balor is able to get the better of Rollins and sends him into the ring post. Balor continues the attack on Rollins until WWE Officials come down to the ring to separate Balor from Rollins. Balor does back off with the Officials, but he manages to escape them, running back to Rollins, climbs the steps and jumps onto Rollins with a Coup De Grace. Balor then climbs onto the commentary table and hits Rollins with another Coup De Grace.
Balor appears to be leaving, heading towards the ramp. Balor again runs back, goes up the steps and delivers a third Coup De Grace to Rollins. Rollins is rolling around on the floor, clearly in a lot of pain.
Backstage Segment:
After the break, we are backstage and we see Seth Rollins holding his ribs, Adam Pearce walking with him, holding the title. Rollins is shouting for Finn Balor. Once again, Rollins is attacked from behind by Balor. Balor sends Rollins crashing over some gear and puts his boot over Rollins’ neck. Balor grabs the title and says that he has been waiting seven years for this moment and at MitB, the title is coming to him. Pearce tells Balor that he has done enough.
In Ring Segment:
The Miz is already in the ring. He says that he has an issue with Seth Rollins. Miz says that he was going to accept Rollins’ open challenge and win the title but now he can’t. Miz says that he is a God in the hellhole that is Cleveland. He says that he was going to give Cleveland an opportunity to have a champion worth having. So, he will now issue his own open challenge to anyone in Cleveland, because he wants everyone to see what a winner looks like amongst a crowd of losers.
Tommaso Ciampa’s music hits! Ciampa gets into the ring, tells Miz that it has been a long time and he drops Miz with a right hand. Ciampa asks the ref to ring the bell.
Match 1: The Miz vs Tomasso Ciampa
Ciampa stomps away at a stunned Miz. Miz rolls out of the ring to escape, but Ciampa follows him and bounces him off the commentary table a few times. Ciampa lays the cover of the commentary table against the table and gives Miz a back suplex through it. Ciampa sits on the table and pats himself on the shoulder. Ciampa gets Miz in the ring and sizes Miz up. Ciampa hits a pair of corner clotheslines before ducking one from Miz and hitting a diving clothesline. Ciampa exposes his knee and goes for a running knee, but Miz manages to avoid it. Miz then hits a kneeling DDT but only gets a two-count. Miz punches away at Ciampa before hitting a running boot to the face. Miz removes his shirt and pulls Ciampa up by the beard.

Miz gets Ciampa in the corner and kicks away at him. Ciampa fights back and chops the chest a few times. Miz reverses a whip to the corner and hits a corner clothesline. Miz heads to the top rope for a diving axe handle, but Ciampa takes him out with a knee strike. Ciampa drops Miz with the Fairy Tale Ending, covers Miz and picks up the win.
A good opening match. Great to see Ciampa back. Let’s hope he gets some meaningful storylines and feuds. I did not like him being teamed up with Miz before his injury. Miz again being a good workhorse and putting over everyone. Grade C+
In Ring Segment:
Well, technically, on stage segment. Judgement Day is on the stage. Finn Balor is pacing. He says that Seth Rollins' open challenge has been cancelled by him. He says that he will be the only one to take the World Heavyweight Championship from Rollins. The crowd begin to sing Rollins’ theme song. Rhea Ripley tells the crowd to sit down, shut up, respect the Judgement Day and Mami. At MitB, the crowd will be buried at their feet, because Balor will bring home the World Heavyweight CHampionship to the Judgement Day. As for Mami, she has the Women’s Division locked down as she is the most dominant woman in the WWE. Damian Priest will win the Money in the Bank briefcase and her Dom-Dom will put down the crowd's favourite Cody Rhodes.
Priest takes the microphone and speaks in Spanish. He says that at Money in the Bank, the briefcase comes home with him, and the contract will read Damian Priest. Priest then warns Cody Rhodes to keep Dominik’s name out of his mouth, or he will never be able to fight again.
Dominik attempts to speak, but the crowd starts to boo him incredibly loudly. He attempts a couple of times to speak, but the crowd does not let up with the booing. Rhea speaks to Dominik to attempt to give him a confidence boost. He tries again but once again the crowd showers him in boos. He finally shouts “Cody, you’re going to see what I’m going to do to you at Money in the Bank if you can find some partners to face the united Judgment Day together.”
Video Package:
We see a video recap of Jey Uso turning on Roman Reigns and leaving the Bloodline on Friday’s SmackDown.
Backstage Interview:
Byron Saxton is backstage with the Undisputed Tag Team Champions. He asks them about the Bloodline implosion, but Owens says that he cannot take the questions about the Bloodline anymore, they don’t care. Zayn says that they need to talk. Zayn tells Owens that he is a “rage-a-holic” and he has anger problems. Zayn says that if Owens can go the rest of the night without a temper tantrum, then he will drop it. If he can’t do it, then Owens will have to admit that he has a problem. If he can, then he will shut up about it. Owens agrees to this. Zayn apologises to Byron that he had to witness this, but he has had 20 years of this.
Match 2: Sonya Deville & Chelsea Green vs Kayden Carter & Katana Chance
Katana Chance starts off against Sonya Deville. Chelsea Green quickly distracts Chance, and Deville takes her down with a big boot. Deville puts Chance in the corner and stomps her down.

Carter and Chance trade tags. They hit Deville with a falling neckbreaker/450 Splash combo for the win!
A quick match, glad that Chance and Carter won. They need to build up some big momentum on the main roster, especially after how they were portrayed in NXT. Hopefully they will be seen as credible contenders for the Women’s Tag Team Titles. Not really much to say about this match as it was very short. Grade C-
On Stage Interview:
Cathy Kelly is on the stage and introduces the crowd to Cody Rhodes. She asks Cody about the challenge from Judgement Day. Cody says that Cleveland is on fire, and the Judgement Day is also on fire. He says that Rhea is dominating, Priest is a few steps away from winning the MitB ladder match, and Balor might walk away as the World Heavyweight Champion. But then there is Dominik Mysterio. Cody says it won't be hard to find 2 people to team with him. Cody accepts the challenge.
Match 3: Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin vs Indus Sher w/Jinder Mahal
Before the match begins, we see a replay of Indus Sher decimating Alexander and Benjamin two weeks ago on Raw.
Before the bell rings, Benjamin knees Sanga off the apron. Alexander and Benjamin double-team Veer in the ring before knocking Sanga off the apron. Alexander goes for a plancha on Sanga, but Sanga catches him. Benjamin hits a blockbuster off the apron on Sanga. Benjamin gets in the ring, but Veer flattens him with an avalanche.

Veer hangs Benjamin on the top rope for Sanga to big boot in the midsection. Veer tags back in. Indus Sher hits a sidewalk slam/diving leg drop combo for the win.
Another uninspired match from Indus Sher. I very much dislike “big men squash matches”, especially when there is no crowd interest in it either. It just makes for a boring match. Grade F

He says that he will win and cash in on whoever he wants, whenever he wants.
Ricochet then comes out. He says that he wants to congratulate Logan on getting into the MitB match. He says that he understands Logan has a massive social media presence, but Ricochet was the one who made him go viral at the Royal Rumble.

An OK match. I was expecting Zoey Stark to get involved and having Becky Lynch get involved too was a good way to keep this rivalry going. Having Trish be in a MitB match in 2023 was not something I had on my bingo card for events this year, but I’m very excited for it. Grade C
