Monday Night Raw opened with a challenge being laid down for Clash at the Castle!
WWE’s first stadium show in the United Kingdom since 2002 is beginning to take shape, and on the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, another Clash at the Castle challenge was set forth.
The show opened with Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY taking to the ring to address the crowd in Cleveland, OH, saying that they had lofty goals for the Raw women’s division. The faction made it clear that they believed current wrestlers lacked the hunger they possessed to make a splash in WWE, and Bayley pointed out that time away from the company has made both Dakota and IYO hungrier than ever.
However, the trio was soon interrupted by Alexa Bliss, followed by Asuka and Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair. As the women talked about their places in the WWE Women’s Tag Title Tournament, Bayley issued a challenge for a three on three match at Clash at the Castle, which Belair accepted on behalf of her team. She then said that while the new faction is trying to keep control, she feels like losing it, and the six women began to brawl.
