“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.
The Raw video plays, and we go live into the arena to see a big pyrotechnics display. The commentators talk about how we’re three days away from WWE Crown Jewel. Tonight, Seth Rollins will take on Erick Rowan in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. We’ll also see “The King’s Court” become “Divorce Court” as Jerry “The King” Lawler hosts Rusev and Lana.
Paige makes her way to the stage to a big ovation from the crowd. Paige welcomes the crowd to Monday Night Raw. Some may know that she has been advising a very special tag team. She’s so proud to be a small part of their success. Paige introduces the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Asuka and Kairi Sane: The Kabuki Warriors.
Replays are shown of Asuka spraying Green Mist in the eyes of Becky Lynch, leading to Kairi Sane pinning Lynch.
Paige is in the ring with The Kabuki Warriors. Six months ago, she introduced this big tag team. She took Kairi Sane, a former NXT Women’s Champion and a winner of the Mae Young Classic, and Asuka, a former SmackDown Women’s Champion, as well as the first winner of the Female Royal Rumble. It could have backfired, but they gelled together. Now they’re the champions. Asuka takes the microphone and shouts in Japanese. Kairi Sane then takes the microphone and shouts in Japanese before laughing. Paige goes to take the microphone back, but Sane throws it down.
Asuka then sprays Green Mist in Paige’s eyes! The crowd is loudly booing. Paige screams that she cannot see, so doctors run down to help her flush out her eyes with some water. Paige leaves the ring, but Asuka follows. Becky Lynch’s music hits.
NO!
Why on Earth did @WWEAsuka just spew GREEN MIST into @RealPaigeWWE's eyes?! #RAW pic.twitter.com/xC8tb99Qt7

The crowd is chanting “Becky.” Lynch goes outside and attacks Asuka before going after Sane. Asuka attacks Lynch from behind, but Lynch still fights them both off.

Well that was something. It was definitely necessary, as The Kabuki Warriors just showed up one day and they were just heels. No explanation or turn. Well, here is your turn. It's a bit out of order, but with #WWE storytelling lately at least they remembered to do it. #RAW

I love the energy of The Street Profits, however they need to be in front of the crowd more to get over. This is only their second time being in front of the main crowd on #RAW. Once the crowd gets used to them, they're going to be one of the bigger acts going.

Cool — they resurrected the finish from #HalftimeHeat 1999. At least they took out the corny camera shot that killed the finish (see Mankind vs. Rock). This wasn't much of a #FallsCountAnywhere match. I don't know if it was successful in getting the crowd back behind Rollins.

Video Package: The Rusev, Lana, and Bobby Lashley soap opera
Coming up next, “The King’s Court” with Rusev and Lana.
-Commercial Break-
The King’s Court with Rusev and Lana
Jerry “The King” Lawler says this edition of “The King’s Court” is going to be “Divorce Court” tonight. We’ll figure out if divorce is the best option for this couple.
Rusev and then Lana make their way to the ring. Lawler says Rusev is still wearing his wedding ring hoping she’ll come back. Lana says she doesn’t want to air her dirty laundry and embarrass Rusev, but she’s had to deal with the WWE Universe on social media calling her out. She wants to tell the truth. The truth is their marriage was always about what Rusev wanted. What Rusev wanted from her was sex. Rusev asks if anyone can blame him. Lana says Rusev wanted sex in the morning, afternoon, and the evening, in the bedroom, kitchen, arena, at WrestleMania… he is a sex addict.
Rusev says he cannot believe she would say something like this. Lana says everyone wants to be loved and accepted, but it was never about Rusev loving her. All he wanted was to impregnate her. Rusev says he never insisted they have a child together. Lana says he never listens. She has a modeling career and is a fashion influencer. No designer will dress her.
Lawler asks if the whole reason she’s doing this is because Rusev wanted a baby. Lana says Rusev cheated on her. Rusev says Lashley is “talking shit” and is lying. Bobby Lashley’s music hits, and he angrily comes to the ring. Rusev boots him in the face and punches him around ringside. Rusev throws him into the ring post and clubs him down.

#RAW CANNOT keep ending like this for the sake of @RusevBUL's emotional stability… pic.twitter.com/jI9iffVqCJ

That segment was best summed up by the fan that yelled out at the end, "This is weeiiirrrrrddddd!"
My formerly pregnant wife as of two weeks ago thinks Lana is actually pregnant and Heyman is getting his pregnancy storyline now that Mike Kanellis is on the fence. I agree. #RAW

Overall, not a bad episode of #RAW. Not a fan of the last segment (or that storyline at all), but the resetting of #RAW continued with more of a slow build for these stars. Made the show easy to watch. That's always a good thing.
