Hello everyone welcome to our live WWE Raw coverage here on 411! Jeremy Thomas here, filling in for Tony for the first part of tonight’s show. We’re on the go-home show for WWE Bad Blood, and tonight’s Raw has…stuff going on. Sorry this is last minute so no preview, just sit back and enjoy.
As a reminder, the GoFundMe for Larry’s daughters is still active and if you can make a donation, that would be awesome. Thank you so much to everyone who’s done so thus far.
* We’re LIVE in Evansville, Indiana. CM Punk WALKS backstage earlier today into the arena. And Drew McIntyre WALKS outside. Braun Strowman and Bronson Reed are here too for their Last Monster Standing match.
* We kick off with a video package recapping Jey Uso’s WWE Intercontinental Championship win last week over Bron Breakker. Interspersed is clips of reactions from fans to the title win.
* Jey has a bunch of Yeeters (including his son) with him as he walks through the building and says to hit his music, then walks through the crowd to the ring. He gets a mic and waits as the crowd chants “YOU DESERVE IT!” He then says the Intercontinental Champion, “Main Event” Jey Uso, is now in your city! He says he’s going to fight every week for it and fight anyone who wants it. Yeet. He appreciates and loves them all, and thanks them for rocking with him and getting his back through all the years. He loves them, yeet.
He says this is very special for him, he walked to the ring with his first championship and his son behind him. He says it was a long, hard road to get there. His own family made it hard for him, Roman made it hard for him. His whole life and his career, he’s just a twin. They know him now though. He says his biggest fan though is his mother. He spoke to his mom and she said, ‘Go out there and show them who you are. Go out there and get it.’ He got it, and Mama, we did it. Yeet.
HERE COMES BRON BREAKKER! The former champion comes down to the ring and steps into the ring with the mic. He says he’s not out to spoil the fun or crash the party. He’s out here because of his respect for the championship. The lineage goes back a long ways and after battling with him last week, Bron has the same amount of respect for Jey. He talked a couple of weeks ago how much the title means to him, and the better man should walk out with the title. On that night, Jey was the better man.
Bron says he won’t spear Jey or attack him, he just said he felt like it should be him, the first to come out here as a competitor and colleague and say congratulations. He offers his hand, Jey takes it and they shake. Bron turns to go and Jey says “Hey Bron.” They walk face to face and Jey says there’s some dogs in Indiana, Uce! Bron walks out of the ring and heads to the back. …huh, that was a segment.
* We look at Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston’s recent tension with Woods snapping at Rey Mysterio for unsolicited advice. That set up a match between them, which is next.
SEPTEMBURGER CONTINUES with a personal favorite of mine! Michael Ornelas checks out Shake Shack! The Shack goes up against the – in my opinion – shitty White Castle. Check out what Mike thinks!
EVERYONE! My book is coming out soon! I’ll be taking pre-orders next week with a sick ass coupon code for all my 411 brothers and sisters and non-binary persons who read me!!!!
Thank you, Jeremy for covering for me!
Earlier today, Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan are chillin by a lowrider. Dom says Finn is on the phone. HE puts him on speaker as JD McDonagh and Carlito pull up asking for Finn. Finn, on speaker, tells Dom to let Liv know he’s handled that business, it’s all taken care of. Dom then tells the others Finn didn’t say much, he’s just stuck somewhere.

Total Rating: **
Match Time: 7:27
Xavier Wood shows some confliction within him as he takes the W but isn’t sure how he feels about what happened. He screams he didn’t mean to.
Lyra Valkyria is backstage stretching. Here comes Shayna Baszler and Sonya Deville who tell her it’s unfortunate that she’ll be out there all alone. No Natalya, no Zelina.But don’t worry, Sonya and Shayna will be there. Don’t worry, Shayna does’nt bite unless Sonya tells her to.
A glowing rock potentially reintroducing the Minnesota Viking Raiders of Los Angeles is show.
Backstage, Kofi Kingston asks Woods if he did that on purpose. Woods says no, he didn’t mean for that to happen. He expected Kofi to be proud of him. Kofi says he doesn’t know if this is the right time, but Jey told him that Kofi can get an IC Title shot.
Woods shows a little frustration, but Woods tells him that he told Jey that the shot is Woods’ shot. Woods gets a title shot next week. Woods is all kinds of hyped.
Behind them the entire time is Karrion Cross rubbing his hands together to show us all just how evil he is.
Lyra Valkyria vs Zoey Stark
Stark gets the upperhand after a quick pin by hitting Lyra with a backbreaker. She screams primal then gets sent outside. Lyra dropkicks her through the ropes then screams her own scream.
We are BACK and Zoey hits her patented missile dropkick off the springboard. Cover for 1.2…NO!!!! Zoey tries to finish it, but Lyra escapes. Sonya hops on the apron, then Shayna. Lyra knocks Sonya off the apron, rolls up Zoey, but the ref is distracted.
He turns but it’s too late. Ref checks on Zoey, Sonya hits Lyra with a knee, Zoey with a Z360 and that’s all she wrote.
Winner: Zoey Stark
And the crowd goes…mild.
Total Rating: *
Match Time: 7:13
We get the three on one until Kayden Carter and Katana Chance run down to pretty much no reaction. Carter kicks Shayna, Chance trips Sonya, then they set up for Keg Stand. They hit it then help Lyra to stand.
Adam Pearce is talking to a bunch of “security,” saying he wants the big men to stay in the ring.
In comes CM Punk. he is on his way to the ring.
We are in the ring, the cage is down, and Pearce has a wall of security behind him. He is inviting Punk and Drew down to have one more shot in their war of words. He introduces first Charles Montgomery Punk.
Drew McIntyre is out next. He would like to go first. Why is he wearing black? It’s out of respect. Not for Punk, he has less than zero for him. It’s out of respect for Punk’s wife, because she will have to feed Punk, bathe him, and probably leave him. Drew is ready for this hatred in him to be gone. The hate will die with Punk.
Punk’s turn. He says throughout his entire career, people have called him a lot of things. Voice of the Voiceless is one of them, but tonight, he’s got nothing to say. He is filled with so much rage. He cant go home. He has been in a hotel for four weeks, because he won’t subject his wife into the guy he has turned into. Drew has turned him into the fake boogeyman that his harshest critics accuse him of being, and it’s that man he needs to be to send Drew home to Scotland in a box. He wants Drew to remember, and never forget that Drew prayed for this. He will take everything from Drew, and when his fear subsides and he is gripped with nothing but panic, on his knees crawling and begging, he will wipe the blood from Drew’s eyes and he will see him. It wont be God he’s praying to, not the devil, he ill be praying to CM Punk. He will see Drew in hell.
Braun Strowman is backstage with Jackie, but he’s cut off by The Miz who is then cut off by R-Truth who doesn’t remember the five Tsunamis. He tells Braun, “See ya, Andre!” Miz asks him what he is doing here, and Truth says he works here. Lol. HE says he doesn’t like how Cross has been picking on Miz. He messaged Pearce and asked for a match against “AYOP” lol. Miz says that’s Authors of Pain, Truth asks what they have written. Lol.
