This week’s WWE Raw featured Bron Breakker defending the Intercontinental Title against Sami Zayn, Bronson Reed causing more chaos, words from Rhea Ripley, and more.

It’s WWE Raw from the Moody Center in Austin, Texas with Michael Cole and Pat McAfee on commentary.

Rhea Ripley did a promo in the ring about her issues with Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio. Ripley said she felt embarrassment, heartbreak, but right now the feeling she has is she is pissed the hell off. Ripley took a shot at Dominik saying he stabbed her in the back but he didn’t do it deep enough, which is something he’s heard before. Ripley reminded Liv Morgan that she is Rhea Bloody Ripley and that led to the interruption. Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio interrupted while standing in the crowd far away. Dominik said that he’s a man and deserves to be treated like one, so the fans chanted “you suck” at him. Dominik said that Ripley tried to change him instead of letting Dom be himself. Dominik claimed that Ripley was bossing him around, which was embarrassing. Dominik said that now he’s got a girl that calls him “Daddy.” Dominik said that she gives him tendies (chicken tenders), she lets him play video games and she lets him be himself. Dominik told Ripley that Liv did something that Ripley never helped him do – finally beat his deadbeat dad. Ripley said she’s proud of what Dominik has accomplished over the last couple of years and said watching him grow into the man he is today is one of her biggest accomplishments. Ripley told him he won gold and accomplished so much. Ripley wanted Dominik to beat his dad on his own, so there was no excuse when Dom beat him. Ripley told Dominik that this was the last decision he was ever going to make.

Liv Morgan spoke up saying it is true that Ripley said that Dominik is a man and he is all hers. Morgan trashed Ripley since her real family is hundreds of miles away and her Judgment Day family – Liv took them. Morgan said that Dominik is hers and the Women’s World Title is hers. Morgan said that this women’s division is hers. Morgan said that everything that Ripley loved is hers. Ripley told Morgan to shut the hell up. Ripley said Morgan took her weak links. Ripley told Morgan she is going to come after her and Liv will have to kill her to stop her. Ripley spoke up again about finding them and that’ when Damian Priest showed up to a huge pop. Priest fought Dominik with punches and they went down the steps while Ripley went up the steps to go after Morgan. Priest punched Dominik over the barricade at ringside. They went into the ring where Priest wanted to give Dominik a Chokeslam, but Carlito was there to hit Priest in the back. Priest clotheslined Carlito out of the ring and that led to a break.

Match #1: Damian Priest defeated Carlito by pinfall. Priest won with the South of Heaven Chokeslam that he does.

After the match, JD McDonagh attacked Priest from behind and Priest cleared JD from the ring. Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan were also in the ring. Rhea Ripley made her way down to the ring, so Dominik & Liv left. Ripley kicked Carlito in the groin. Balor stared at Ripley, then Balor left and JD went into the ring so Priest kicked JD. Priest hit South of Heaven on JD. The Judgment Day retreated. Priest hugged Ripley, so Dominik tried to jump on them, but Priest caught him. Ripley wanted to give Dominik a Riptide and then Morgan was there to save Dominik from it. The Judgment Day left together at that point.

The trio of Otis, Akira Tozawa & Maxxine Dupri were backstage hanging out. Ivy Nile walked up to Dupri saying that Dupri should join their new group. Dupri said no to that because she was loyal to her family. Nile left while Dupri encouraged Otis & Tozawa about their match tonight.

A video aired about Bo Dallas saying that everything was coming full circle. Dallas said that it’s been heavy lately, especially last week in Baltimore. Dallas said that’s where it all started for the Wyatt Family. Dallas said that the Wyatt Sicks had their debut. Dallas said something big was going to happen and then he claimed that the work wasn’t done. Somebody on the TV screen said that the work wasn’t done. Dallas kept saying “my life for you” and we saw images of Uncle Howdy on the screen as well.

Match #2: Odyssey Jones (w/Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) defeated Vincent Winey by pinfall. Jones hit a spinning sidewalk slam like a Bossman Slam for the win.

After the match, Karrion Kross and The Final Testament interrupted. Kross suggested that maybe Kofi was using Odyssey Jones to replace Big E, but the truth was that Kross was using Jones to replace Woods. That led to Woods saying that he couldn’t drive a wedge between them. Woods suggested a 2-on-2 tag team match. Kofi took the microphone to suggest a 6-man tag team match, which the fans liked. Woods didn’t seem thrilled about it. Kross said that the devil’s work is never done and you’ve got it. Kofi called them “The Final Testicle” by accident (really on purpose) and reminded them that New Day rocks.

Drew McIntyre walked into the office of Raw GM Adam Pearce. Pearce told Drew that CM Punk wasn’t there because he had travel issues. Drew said he already beat him and he was moving on. Drew complained about Randy Orton of Smackdown was fighting for Raw’s World Title. Drew said that Orton was screwed one time, but Drew was screwed many times. Drew said he’ll take care of it and he’ll be on his best behavior.

Match #3: American Made – Julius & Brutus Creed defeated American Alpha – Otis & Akira Tozawa (w/Maxxine Dupri) by pinfall in a Texas Tornado Tag Team Match. Ivy Nile attacked Dupri on the commentary table. Otis tried to help, but he was knocked down by the Creeds. Brutus rolled up Tozawa and Julius added more leverage for the pinfall win. After the match, Ivy Nile celebrated with her friends The Creeds to show that she is with American Made.

Pete Dunne was interviewed by Jackie Redmond in the empty seats earlier in the day. Dunne said that Sheamus didn’t elevate him. Dunne said he had a terrible nickname and it didn’t go well. Dunne got angry when Jackie said “Butch” said he never wants to hear that name again. Dunne said that he swallowed his pride for two years. Pete said he’s the Bruiserweight and an 18-year vet. Dunne said that if he has to shut Sheamus up to never hear that name again then that’s what he’ll do.

There was a “Raw Physics” video that aired about “Big” Bronson Reed. Pat McAfee and Michael Cole narrated a video about Reed hitting Seth Rollins with the Tsunami splash six times last week. They had some interesting stats about it.

Bronson Reed was talking to Raw GM Adam Pearce in his office. Reed said that he wasn’t getting an opportunity so he took out everybody’s favorite superstar Seth Rollins. Reed told Pearce to give him a match tonight or Reed will find another victim.

A video aired featuring Iyo Sky & Kairi Sane talking about how they are the most dominant force in the history of the women’s division.

Sonya Deville, Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark were backstage for a promo. Sonya said that they are called the Pure Fusion Collective. Baszler said that they should be Women’s Tag Team Champions. Baszler said that they’ll rip through the division again.

Match #4: Damage CTRL – Iyo Sky & Kairi Sane vs. Pure Fusion Collective – Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark (w/Sonya Deville) ended in a No Contest when Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn attacked both teams. There were no winners of the match.

The Miz found out that R-Truth got him a match with Bron. Miz thought it was Bron Breakker, but was actually Bronson Reed, so Miz was scared a bit. Randy Orton walked up to Miz and encouraged him. It appeared to be fake encouragement because Orton laughed it off with Truth.

Randy Orton did an in-ring promo. Orton said that 20 years ago this month he won the World Title for the very first time. Orton said that he became the youngest World Champion in history that night. Orton said that history will repeat itself and he will become a 15-time World Heavyweight Champion. That’s when World Heavyweight Champion Gunther interrupted. Gunther told Orton he should be the greatest of all time. Gunther said that Orton wasted all of his unlimited potential. Gunther said that this is the era of the Ring General. Orton said that he never claimed to be perfect. Orton said that he made mistakes and probably made more mistakes than anybody in that locker room. Orton said he owned up to those mistakes while claiming that he changed course. Orton told Gunther he’s the most unpredictable, violent, controversial yet successful superstar in the history of the game. Orton said that it’s not a curse because Orton looks at it as a gift. Orton spoke about how he does it his way. Orton said he’s got five kids at home and smoking hot wife waiting at home in St. Louis while saying that he’s going to a 15-time World Champion. Orton said he appreciates his opinion, but he thinks he has done pretty damn good for himself.

Gunther said that he got stuck when Orton said he’s unpredictable while saying that Orton is very predictable. Gunther told Orton he’ll give him the beating of his lifetime when they meet in Berlin. Gunther’s second prediction was that Orton won’t be World Champion again. Gunther told Orton when it really matters, Orton screws it up. Gunther mentioned that Orton’s grandfather was a screw up and Orton threw the microphone down. Gunther told Orton that his father was a screw up. Gunther said that Orton was the biggest screw up of them all. Orton got in Gunther’s face for a staredown. That’s when Drew McIntyre showed up.

Gunther turned around to stare at McIntyre, so Orton hit Gunther with an RKO. The fans loved that. CM Punk attacked Drew at ringside. Orton and Gunther got out of there. Drew tried to use his belt, but Punk grabbed the belt and Punk whipped Drew in the back with Drew’s belt. Punk hit Drew repeatedly with the belt to the back. Drew went over the barricade to run away. CM Punk went into the ring to celebrate with the belt while Punk’s music played to end it.

Sheamus was interviewed backstage. Ludwig Kaiser told him their issue wasn’t over. Pete Dunne attacked Sheamus with a shillelagh to the head. Kaiser left. Dunne smashed Sheamus’ left hand with the shillelagh to end it.

CM Punk was shown walking around backstage. Gunther was back there knocking something off a table. Cathy Kelley mentioned that she was on the same flight to Austin as Punk and he didn’t have travel issues. Punk said he told a lie to get his hands on Drew McIntyre. Punk said it’s not about the bracelet. It’s about the names that are on the bracelet. Punk said that Drew can’t speak about Punk’s wife or his dog. Punk said that he caused Drew to lose in his own hometown. Punk claimed that Drew wants to stay attached to him, yet Drew wants to run from him. Punk thinks he figured out a way to make everybody happy

They showed WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry and his son Jacob Henry as well. Jacob is a collegiate wrestler at Oklahoma and signed to a WWE NIL deal. Henry was cheered.

Match #5: Bronson Reed defeated The Miz (w/R-Truth) by pinfall. Reed won with a Tsunami splash off the top. Post match, Reed wanted to do more. Truth got in the ring so Reed hit Truth with a cross body block. Reed would go on to hit Truth with the Tsunami four times.

A match was added to the Bash In Berlin PLE: Damian Priest & Rhea Ripley vs. Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan.

There was a video from The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, Carlito, Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan. They said they are The Judgment Day and there are no leaders. Morgan said that they’ll make Priest & Ripley play. Balor told Priest to watch out because Backstabber Balor is about. That was it.

Match #6: Bron Breakker defeated Sami Zayn 2-1 in a 2/3 Falls match for the Intercontinental Title. Zayn got the first fall with a Helluva Kick and Bron hit a Spear for the second fall. Bron hit a Spear on a leaping Zayn for the final fall.

Bron Breakker celebrated with the Intercontinental Title. End of show.
