Sports Entertainer vs. Professional Wrestler

Raw from Kansas City kicked off with Gunther cutting an in-ring promo saying that John Cena was the best Sports Entertainer of all time, but he was the best Professional Wrestler. Gunther proclaimed that he would make Cena give up. 

Iyo Sky vs. Kairi Sane

The opening matchup saw Iyo Sky, accompanied by Rhea Ripley, taking on Kairi Sane with Asuka in her corner. NXT Champion Oba Femi was shown in the front row before the match began, and commentary noted he would be facing the WWE Champion this weekend at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Asuka got involved early in the match, and Ripley tried to stop it but was not successful.

After an ad break, things went back and forth until Asuka took out Sky when she sent up for Over the Moonsault. Ripley then took Asuka out for her efforts, and Iyo finally hit her moonsault for the win. After the match, the commentary team noted that Sky and Ripley were well-positioned for a Tag Title shot. 

Logan Paul approached The Vision backstage and said something had to be done about Rey Mysterio. Bron Breakker said they’ll handle it tonight and then Logan pulled Paul Heyman aside. Paul offered himself as The Brons’ backup if they had his back, and Heyman handed Logan his golden brass knuckles. 

A pre-produced War Raiders video aired, hyping them up ahead of the title shot later tonight. 

 

Rey Mysterio came out to the ring for his match against Finn Balor, but was jumped in the aisle by Logan Paul. Paul attempted to use the brass knuckles, but Mysterio was able to recover when the Masked Mystery Man appeared and took Mysterio out before escaping through the crowd. Logan then successfully hit Rey with the brass knuckles when LA Knight ran down to chase him off. Knight got on the mic and challenged Logan Paul to a match tonight. 

World Tag Team Championship

Before the next match began, Je’Von Evans was shown in the crowd, and it was announced that he and TNA X Division Champion Leon Slater would take on AJ Styles & Dragon Lee at Saturday Night’s Main Event. The New Day and Grayson Waller appeared at ringside as the match began. The momentum shifted between the two teams, and at one point, Dragon Lee legit attempted to hoist Ivar onto his shoulders three times in a row, only to fail each time. From there, the teams had a few impressive spots but also had some clunky ones. Finally, the champs retained after Styles hit the Phenomenal Forearm.

The New Day got into the ring after the match when suddenly The Usos appeared. Side note: weirdly, Jimmy and Jey enter to Jey’s music with the lyrics “It’s just me, Uce”. The champions and New Day just stood in the ring as The Usos did their complete elaborate entrance. Jimmy announced that The Usos were back in the tag team division after they had had a lot of losses lately. Jey said they needed gold and punched The New Day, then had a stare-down with Styles and Lee. 

Who’s Next for Vaquer?

Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer was interviewed in the ring and asked who her next opponent would be. Vaquer ran down some potential opponents from the roster when Nikki Bella interrupted, demanding a rematch. Raquel Rodriguez jumped Nikki from behind and took her out. Rodriguez said for Vaquer to name the time and the place, and she would take her title. 

Backstage, Finn Balor was excited that he didn’t have to wrestle Rey, and he said he liked the masked man. Liv Morgan asked Raquel Rodriguez what she was doing by going after Vaquer’s title. Morgan said she was good with it and said she would be in Roxanne Perez’s corner for her match tonight. 

 

Lyra Valkyria vs. Roxanne Perez

NXT’s Sol Ruca was shown before this match, and it was noted that Ruca would face Bayley at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Perez focused her offense on Valkyria’s arm as Lyra fought through the pain. Liv Morgan then jumped on the apron, and Bayley took her down. Morgan got one more shot on Lyra, and Perez hit Pop Rox for the win. 

A highly stylized video aired with Maxxine Dupri tapping out a bunch of opponents when Nattie appeared and also tapped out to Dupri.  

LA Knight vs. Logan Paul

Next up was the match set up earlier in the evening with LA Knight taking on Logan Paul. Early on, Knight gained the advantage on the outside. As teased in an earlier backstage segment, The Brons appeared in the entranceway, distracting Knight. The Brons then nailed Knight with a headbutt, and the referee ejected them. The masked man then returned and stomped Knight’s head on the “metal” announce desk. The Vision then decimated LA Knight with their finishers.

After an ad break, Paul Heyman cut a promo intercut with footage of LA Knight being helped in the back. Heyman said that Bron Breakker would win the World Heavyweight Championship in January. Breakker then took the mic (and had crazy cuts on his knuckles as if he had punched a wall recently), saying that CM Punk was a fraud who looked like a crackhead despite being straight edge. Bron continued that he wanted the CM Punk from 2011-2013, who was feared, not the new one. This felt very similar to Eddie Kingston’s promo on Samoa Joe on AEW this past week. He then said the actual words, “I’m going to Bron Break you.”

Bronson Reed and Logan Paul then ran to the back as LA Knight was shown again. Reed and Paul then continued to beat down Knight backstage, attacking security in the process. Reed then hit a Tsunami on Knight on top of a car and must have absolutely destroyed his knees in the process. Ouch.
