Episode summary[]
Natalya vs Alexa Bliss[]
Thanks to Raw General Manager Kurt Angle’s ruling from last week, Ronda Rousey is suspended from Team Red for 30 days. Natalya has no such restraints, though Alexa Bliss might be wishing she did right about now: The Queen of Harts — a training partner of Rousey’s — didn’t just confront Little Miss Bliss right as she and Mickie James were running down the absent Rowdy Ronda; she shocked the Raw Women’s Champion in a Kurt Angle-sanctioned match.
Natalya had some backup in the form of Nia Jax — the Superstar Alexa dethroned as Raw Women’s Champion — who was in Natalya’s corner to lend a literal hand. Right when Alexa got a head of steam, The Irresistible Force tripped the champion up in the ropes (payback of sorts for similar interference on Mickie’s part) to set up Alexa to tap to Natalya’s signature Sharpshooter.
Bayley, Ember Moon & Sasha Banks vs The Riott Squad[]
Last week, Sasha Banks & Bayley’s friendship deteriorated to the point of thrown fists (and one chucked water bottle), but Raw General Manager Kurt Angle won’t give up so easily.
Citing the two champions’ importance to the Raw brand, The Olympic Hero gave them one final chance to get on the same page, sanctioning a Six-Woman Tag Team Match between Sasha, Bayley & Ember Moon against The Riott Squad. Angle’s gambit failed to pay dividends in more ways than one: Flashes of teamwork aside, Sasha and Bayley were barely tolerating each other from the jump, and after The Boss was pinned by Ruby Riott to close the match, Bayley pounced all over Sasha and pummeled her ruthlessly about the ring, refusing to let up until after she’d thrown Banks into the steel steps not once, but twice. The outcome was so savage, in fact, that Angle immediately handed ultimatums to both Bayley and Banks after the match: Each woman must attend mandatory counseling next week, or lose her job.
