Hello and welcome to WWE Raw Results! Tonight should be an interesting show with plenty of action going on with the Judgement Day facing Alpha Academy and more. Let’s buckle up and get to the action!
The Usos and Solo Sikoa came out to start the night off. They referred to themselves as wolves for running Smackdown and Raw every week, and then addressed what happened at Smackdown.
Jey called Kevin Owens out about learning his lesson not to cross the tribal chief. They acknowledged every member of the Bloodline family line will be at Raw’s 30th anniversary for a special acknowledgement of Roman Reigns.
In response to the Usos talking smack about the Street Profits and The Judgement Day came out in response with Rhea Ripley telling them the only thing the Bloodline needs to acknowledge is Judgement Day runs Raw.

Balor of course had to thank the “Ex con Dom” to help the Judgement Day become the number one contenders for the Raw Tag Team Championship.
Priest then pointed out they never stepped up to the Judgement Day and Dom said he smells fear and challenged the Usos.
The Usos ran down their wins and Dom told them they couldn’t last a minute with the people in the cell he was in and he called them wannabes and said Sikoa is the worst.
Ripley and Solo had a stare down when Dom cheap shotted him to no effect and Solo dropped him with one shot.
Ali jumped Solo while he faced off with Ripley again and their match is next.
Solo Sikoa vs. Mustafa Ali
We returned with the match already under way and Ali got a few early shots in, but Solo hit a Samoan Drop and went to work.
Ali tried to fight out of a rear chin lock and hit a couple of dropkicks before a Savate kick sent Solo to the floor.
Solo caught Ali’s dive with a right and hit a clothesline before going for the pin attempt.

The Usos returned through the crowd to back up Solo, and Owens came out in response.
Jimmy and Jey met him outside the ring, but Owens took them out while Ali hit a tornado DDT for a near pinfall.
Ali missed a 450 splash and Solo ended it with a Samoan Spike.
Owens took out Solo with a stunner and stomped him to the floor where he threw Solo into the ring steps. He put Solo on the announce desk, but the Usos stopped him and security came out to put an end to it.
